My kids/teenagers/adult, over the last 18 months have acquired £5,000 worth of PC/console titles they never play any more due to.

1. Didn't work/too many bugs/unsupported by developers.

2. Rubbish content/finished in one week/bad scripting.

3. Poor gameplay/adaptation/ripoff.

4. Boring/dumb/senseless.

5. Too complicated/unintuitive/frustrating.



They are surprised/amazed/dumbfounded by the fact I still fly IL2 after 10+ years, and we get to interact with the developers for all this time.

They have games that were dumped by the devs after 3 months. and these are main stream titles at £40.00 a pop lasting only weeks before being shelved.

IMO

If you are going to review anything review the whole product including support.

Normal, though.
A console game offers 20-40 hours of entertainment, once you beat it you could as well sell it immediately.
Only the GTA offered several hundred hours - if you like the plot that is.

Your household spends as much on video games in a year as an average family in Turkey makes? First world problems right here!

There was a French company ...... Tarmac Aces that built KG13 sticks for simming.

If they are no longer trading try > http://www.taffe.de/53958996b41421a0...107/index.html

You might have a very long wait for that stick.

So are they stealing these games or just doing sexual favours for them?

Holy Crap! If there ever was a call for a lifetime ban....there it is. Anyone that talks smack about kids like that, should not be here. (I have 2 kids, obviously he doesn't have any)

when someone says i "acquired" something....that generally means they goT it through a means that they dont feel comfortable talking about....

i know when i was a teenager i "acquired" alot of amercrombie & fitch jackets and other apparel from that store (most of it by the way ended up breaking, and was of low quality....yea cloths that cost normally 100$ breaking, zippers breaking, metal buttons breaking)


sorry you have children and were offended by his statement perhaps grow some thicker skin...or maybe move out of a country that has free speech if you dont want to be offended....
