Going to head out and buy Skyrim today. Considering I’ve mostly been playing Uncharted 3, Resistance 3 and Battlefield 3 on my PS3, I need a different numbered sequel.

James did you play OBLIVION? greatest game of all time
skyrim for xmas
Posted on 14 November, 2011 at 10:21 am by James Gallagher
Oblivion was one of the first PS3 games I got (I didn’t have a job when PS3 launched so I didn’t get one right away). Actually, it was the perfect game to be unemployed for – takes up lots of that free time.

DC UNIVERSE ONLINE is free now, but it takes 6 hours (no joke) to download….i gave up on it.
im not an RPG fan atall, but OBLIVION and SKYRIM have just to much content packed into a disk. Defently worth the buy.
as for xmas i can only get 3 of the latest games because my dad will pay for the PS VITA.
1.SKYRIM
2.UNCHARTED 3
3. WWE OR BF3 (hard to decide)

i know alot of this stuff sounds great and yeee haaa wow fab brill.
but id like to know why if sony has spent so much money on upgrading there servers to catch cheats/hackers online through there servers loggin. why it is theres not one game ive played that is online based that has ps3 cheaters online?? so much for the anti-hacking programs yet another failed attempt to brush the problem under the carpet.. clocks ticking for to see if we have another 3-4 weeks of no PSN network!! sony never listens.
24
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 2:28 pm by Catkiller1
@ shedboy90
But I prefer beans on toast
MW3 may be good but it’s still plagued with glitches, hackers, cheaters & the same boring gameplay! I was looking forward to it until I say it played out in front of me!
Recycled the same buildings & layouts from MW1 & MW2.
It’s lazy on Activision/Infinity Wards part
It’s okay, but i’ll wait for a price drop & the server & ELITE issues to stop, before purchasing!
If you were a true Gamer, you would admit the problems & that’s what the difference is between a fanboy & a loyal Gamer
Black Ops was great as it added alot more than previous COD releases but MW3 is simply MEH!

I’ve got my fingers crossed for the next COD release & i think Treyarch will do a better job IMHO!
27
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 4:33 pm by shedboy90
@catkiller1
i never said cod didn’t have problems
yh the cheaters and hackers r problems
i didn’t get gliches so idk wht ur getting at
the gameplay isn’t the same like i said b4 u been brainwashed by dice to dislike the tiniest of things on cod
28
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 4:39 pm by shedboy90
@catkiller1
of all the reviews i seen of mw3 and bf3 only a handful said bf3 as a whole was better but the rest said mw3 was best
oh and u know wht game will sell more …… thats right mw3
u bf fanboys don’t get that mw is a continuing story not the accusations of there always being 2 bad guys
29
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 4:41 pm by shedboy90
@catkiller1
oh btw sledgehammer were involved so don’t think activision and infinity ward r being “lazy”
30
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 5:12 pm by SirJake_Brookes
MW2 is much better online then MW3 but campaign MW3 is excellent & skyrim is like world of warcraft, BF3 is rubbish compared with modern COD games & * Lest We Forget *
31
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 5:19 pm by Catkiller1
@ shedboy90
Critic reviews gave it a 9 & Users gave it 2.8
PMSL @ BF fanboy comment. I’m no fanboy I just know a good game when I see it. MW3 hasn’t done anything that new & it’s getting very boring & tiresome! COD will always sell more as it’s turned into a franchise & the games get churned out on a yearly basis.
I’ve already stated I like COD MW1 & W@W so I guess that makes me a COD/BF fanboy 2 u eh?
Get a grip, i’ve been gaming a long time & Treyarch will do a much better job!
Sales figures mean nothing as people will purchase it regardless as it’s a COD game which used 2 b the greatest in my eyes but i’ve lost faith in them now & they’re just after the money.
Glad I never purchased it or I would have felt ripped off! After all it’s just a glorified map pack with some extra game modes thrown
32
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 5:27 pm by Catkiller1
MW3 is an Arcade twitch shooter Battlefield is a war simulation with strategy!
Aren’t u annoyed at how lazy they’ve been? It’s disgusting!
I always championed COD but not anymore & i’m being realistic & truthful not a fanboy!
I haven’t said BF3 is better but the 2 games are so diverse that u shouldn’t compare them. I was replying 2 your stupid statement about steak!
You’re another one that won’t listen 2 reason as you’re so brainwashed with COD.
BF3 has annoying glitches, bugs & suffers with LAG on alot of servers but so does COD, get over it
33
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 5:29 pm by SirJake_Brookes
on CL topic. Must challenge lobby hosts in past are Quite good at modern warfare & modern warfare 2 & CL hosting is new step & Sony can’t stop them only activison can because activison have MW1 & MW2 servers. I hope that answered CL hacking topic & btw pier park is amazing. please bring it next thursday.

Hi catkiller, I agree about mw3 being recycled gameplay but it’s what the fans want and feel if they changed it too much the community would go crazy. I love both games but at the min I’m enjoying mw3 a little more, hopefully when the karkland pack gets released that will change as they were my gave maps on 2
35
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 6:18 pm by pickleonion30
MW3 ain’t to bad, but there is far to much hype about it considering it’s not much different to the others. They could have upped their game abit though as I reckon when the next one comes out people MIGHT be a bit wary about rushing to the shops and spending £50. Do like it but quite relieved I only paid £38 for it.
Annoyed that the ELITE service ain’t working yet, they say they didn’t expect this many people to use it is complete BS. Considering it seems to be the biggest game franchise they should have been prepared.

skyrim is awesome, I’ve played it for 5 hours and I’m a level 8 wood elf, personally I would recommend focusing on one-armed weapons and shields and bows
Posted on 14 November, 2011 at 10:27 am by James Gallagher
I was going to be a wood elf but in a moment of madness I chose the cat. Feeling a bit silly now, to be honest, running around all these towns and villages as a cat, but I’ve put too many hours in to go back.
37
Posted on 13 November, 2011 at 8:47 pm by Catkiller1
@ ukcrazyguy
I agree with everything you say apart from “it’s what the fans want”!
You’re not getting it, i’m a BIG fan of COD & have played all titles & enjoyed them all. MW2 was a big disappointment for me & MW3 has followed in it’s footsteps. I was expecting BIG things & have been let down yet again!
Black Ops added alot more from the previous TREYARCH titles & was a big step up for me.
Hopefully TREYARCH step it up, like they have previously
Don’t get me wrong, I will get MW3 but not until it drops to £20, as that price justifies it

Skyrim looks like my idea of gaming hell. I loathed Oblivion and Fallout 3 (the most tedious games of the last ten years) so am too wary of ever spending money on a game by those guys again.
With Uncharted 3 already bought and completed, I reckon I’m done buying games for a while at least til the Vita comes out. There’s not much else that appeals to me at all. You can keep your samey dull limited unimaginitive FPS crud too.

James I know im flogging a dead horse need to change the record etc etc.
But I still haven’t got my Payday code.
I contacted customer services over the phone (which costs me money) and they said to be patient as the codes were still being sent out.
I spoke to rabbidwalker via twitter and I was told the same thing.
This is getting a little bit ridiculous to be honest.

Posted on 14 November, 2011 at 9:06 am by Catkiller1
@ shedboy90
No need to get personal with stating my life. I have had a productive life, but I won’t go into the boring details, as the good people i’ve met on this blog already know.
I’m not here to insult, i’m stating facts & most websites seem to agree with me.
Of course I would act up, as you labelled me a BF fanboy.
Anyway I can’t be bothered dealing with another immortal-wolf- that can’t take other peoples comments on board.
I wasn’t attacking COD in general, just MW3 & you rose to the occasion
I rest my case!

Posted on 14 November, 2011 at 9:10 am by Catkiller1
@ shedboy90
Also i’ve noticed the times that you’ve been commenting!
Don’t you think you should get some sleep?
No wonder you won’t listen, as MW3 is probably reality for you right now with sleep deprivation lol

Hello people, i need some skyrim player (not fanboy) to help me!
im pretty interested in the game but have seen so many faults with it that really put me off.
for example hacking at someone only hits in the groin area, people getting in the way when in battle and enemy becoming unresponsive during fight. o and what is with the flying around the map? is this some sort of hack for pc’s?
