Who's deviating? I pre-ordered D3 and it was a mistake. Who's to say Przepraszam didn't pre-order the collector's edition (or whatever version it is Very Happy) for $100? Still about pre-ordering and the use of it.

Less bitching about nothing, please.

Preorders are only smart if you absolutely want a collector's edition before they sell out. Why would you pre-order unless the price is going to increase after release (which is rarely the case)?

I mean, I pre-ordered Diablo III with Amazon for £19. (note: the price on release was £35). Amazon CANCELLED the pre-order when it was announced that the price would be higher upon release so I pre-ordered again at £25. Then it was announced that the price would be £40 RRP and they cancelled AGAIN. That's the minute I said "fuck pre-orders". If the price is lower before release, they're just going to screw you over anyway.

AFAIK Amazon never cancels your preorders, I heard multiple stories of a guy getting it for dirt cheap because he preordered it in 2003 or so.

Firstly, TotalDerp called Aliens Colonial Marines a AAA title. Sorry, but it has NEVER been a AAA title. Secondly, if you are into gaming (like you really know your stuff) you would realise that Gearbox's track record isn't exactly fantastic. Yeah they make great games but they're also known for putting out some stellar bullshit too. My point is, is that if you know your stuff, you know what to pre-order and what companies you can trust (not that there are many left though).

If you like something and know the developer/publisher well enough then why shouldn't you pre order something? Just because one person thinks a game is awful doesn't mean that you will think that. There is always a game that you will like and thousands won't.

As for TotalDerp, I will never ever understand why he has so many people watching him. I'm english and his accent still rubs me up the wrong way alongside the fact that he always puts his foot in it when "knowing" things about gaming.

Then don't watch, nobody forces you to. I on the other hand find pretty much all his videos really enjoyable. I always get the impression that some people hate him just for the sake of hating, giving the most stupid reasons for doing so. Whatever floats your boat/s, people...

You know that most of his video's ain't live gameplay right? He plays/records then he sorts out what footage to use and then starts talking about it Smile
Seeing how bad he is at some games right now, imagine those being live commentary Laughing

An AAA game is not necessarily a good game but it has a certain polish due to its budget. ACM doesn't.

The Aliens franchise might be a AAA movie franchise (and thats debatable) but in the gaming world it is not. Usually a AAA title is one that is from a well known developer who always puts out content that is polished to death and has had a huge budget spent on it. I think you will find that this game clearly isn't polished, not even in a finished state. Gearbox's track record shows that they're not a developer that constantly puts out great AAA titles that are polished. Go look at their history Sin, think you will find that in the catalogue of games that they have had their hand in developing, it's pretty much a split of quality titles and utter shit. ACM is just another one to throw onto the shit pile.

the AAA is basicly just about the budget of the product. But i don't think there is any real discussion needed here. We all know the game sucks Smile

I don't know if it was posted or not; plus I couldn't find more appropriate thread...

... but the guy apparently has a cancer. A bowel cancer.



I realise he wasn't very popular around here; nonetheless, very sad news to hear. Sad

And a video from Boogie:



"Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere in the world there is a duck watching you."

Fuck Polish government for oppressing women!

How's his situation currently? His VLOG is a month old and he had some inital positive test results I think

Bowel cancer is pretty hard to get rid of though. Sad

Yeah, I saw that a moment ago in the comment section of Boogie's video.

Karma indeed can be a bitch sometimes. Or rather dangerous in this particular case.

You must be really dumb to think "karma" has anything to do with this coincidence, "in this particular case" or any other.

These posts of yours are disgusting. Why repost some rage-tweet someone posted many years ago when he was having serious family problems, now that he's been diagnosed with cancer ?

What if you get it ? Should someone repost that post of yours ? Wake up.

I personally hope that most people in the youtube comments or twitch chats get cancer too. Because that's what they are to me.

Looking at them, what they're spouting and their behaviour surely gives me cancer. That includes these so called fans. So if he insulted the kind I think he did, good, well done.
