Funny, today I played more Team Fortress 2 than I have in so long...


Firing up Steam got me playing some UT3 and I started HL2 Lost Coast again :smirk: It's been years.

Turning it back over to the community may well bring fresh life into it, how is it a bad thing?

H1Z1 was great, I've got ~117 hours clocked up on it and played it exclusively with friends (speaking over Skype was a must to coordinate!). Unfortunately we got got bored of the bugs and that there was never really anything to "do" once you had your base set-up. Once you get a couple of vehicles roaming the map to collect resources for bases was fairly easy. We did have some hilarious times on it though, like the time me and a friend was cruising down the road and saw a police car by the side of the road. I jumped out, jumped in the car and we took off being shot at by its owners. A couple of minutes later another police car and vehicle turned up and we had an epic race to get away having now two vehicles full of loot :D.


I have only tried survival for a short time, was kind of boring to me. I play strictly battle royal.
2 man and 5 man BR's is a blast and skype or discord is definately a must.
Give it a try again, they have done some cool updates lately, still some bugs for sure but its getting better.
They have an ATV now thats fun to tool around on.

Allow me to summarize the first page for you:
Bethesda took features and accessibility away from an active (albeit small) community and put the game behind a paywall for any new players who may come in, however few there may be. The move to Steam was announced, but the removal of stats/clan/server/friends lists and forums was not. Instead, they could have made the game free and stopped supporting it and allowed the community to pick up the slack.

Seems like a fair trade, since I gave you the attention you needed by humoring your posts. My Steam username is had_matter. Thanks!

So I just played a quick game of Quake Live and it was ok...beat a bot on NIghtmare, which is actually a lot harder than I remember. I used to boss bots 30 - 0 but I won this game something like 9 - 4

The old skills have left me...

I might DL and play if meant more people from here would be on. The shit talking on TS would be worth it. Otherwise I can't imagine any reason to play again.

I can't gift you a game if we're not friends and I can't friend you with a full friends list...

So you argue vehemently about a game you haven't had any interest in playing or supporting when it was free for the last 5 years. Then when it finally dies from your lack of support you can cry with indignation until someone buys it for you on steam. got it.

You think I plan on playing it? I'm just trying to get xer0s to waste $10. :smirk:

Argue vehemently? Cry with indignation? When you read my posts, do you imagine me mashing the keys with a grimace on my face, furious at the world for not agreeing?

Transient, as of late, seems to be running the role of the drama queen cunt-shitting a cry baby for the sole purpose of not having anything better to do. FFS, grow a pair.
