Be Excellent To Each Other

Are we going to play, Beexers?

Tell me more about it... I could be interested!

Its a different way of playing.

They say it’s free to play and that’s true, however it’s got a shop where people will be able to buy advantages and better stuff. They are selling founders packs and the most expensive one is £129.00 and offers more XP that standard players among other things.

Still I'm sure that on free play it will be good.

I have registered I will be trooperlooper on there if you can search on account names.

I am Grimdotdotdot.

I am... totally devoid of free time and will look on enviously

Did this launch then or what?

Yes, yes it did.

Did you play it?

No, no I didn't.

Cool story, bro.

Okay, I'm giving it a shot!

I'm The Thing, baby!

The intro is nice.

Holy shit,

It's nice - nothing you've not seen before, but nice.

I think it will be a laugh with a load of us playing.

Chances of me paying £20 to unlock Deadpool: High.

Ugh, fucking windows only games, it means I have to lean under my desk and turn on my windows machine. Fucking hassle.

How long will it take you to install it?

11gb? Probably about 4 hours to download I expect

No Gambit?

OMGWTFBBQ!

They can fuck right off

I'm not paying no money for a game without Gambit!

I think he's an NPC that sells cards.

Fuck Gambit, the man's a purple ballsack with a stupid hat.

Proper Gambit doesn't wear a hat.

He's got a stupid thing on his face/head, like a fucking snood with a hole in it for his hair to stick through. The man's a tit.

Your face is a stupid thing on your head.

No, my head's a stupid thing with a face on it.

No, your- *dies*

You can only play Marvel superheroes? No character creator? That sucks.

TBF, the clue is in the name!

Oooh, i'll have a go on this.

"server down"

Fucking games.

Always online! It's the future!

I'm The Thing as well!

This is pretty good, or it was until I got kicked from the server.

I have daredevil!

Man, this game crashes a lot.

Huh, it didn't crash once when I was playing it.

I've had 3 crashes in an hour. New patch this morning though, maybe that has fucked it?

Can't add friends unless they are online, which is really fucking annoying..

Right? It seems you can form a "supergroup" once they are though, which might persist.

I'm getting a crash to desktop every half hour or so, which is very annoying, particulary as i seem to be at a point where the next waypoint is excessively far away, i.e. over 30 minutes of playing...

Ok, crashing every 5 minutes now...

That's enough for me, i'll give them a week or so to fix it. It's a good game that isn't anything new and is more than a bit clunky is some aspects, but even with the crashes i've thoroughly enjoyed myself so far.
It just needs a fair amount of polish in terms of UI and bug fixing. Looking on the forums i'm not alone in the constant crashes.

Still no crashes for me. Are your video drivers up to date?

Yup, checked today. Most crashes happen when zoning or loading.

I'm up to L11 now, the crashes get more and more frequent as the levels get busier and bigger.

Eleven? Christ, I'm only level four! How long have you played it for?

3 hours or so I suspect. It has a weird way of letting you play your other characters too, If you do it wrong you can lose story progress on your main character...

Hmmm.... memtest is running and showing all my ram as bad, that might explain it!
Weird how everything else is working fine though...

Bad memory stick isolated, no more crashes so far!

I've just finished chapter 4, so half way through. Getting a little bored to be honest, it's extremely samey.

Intro was decent, haven't got past that point.

We should try and organise playing together.

Tonight at 9pm?

Possibly, doubtful though.

I have an RMA for the bad stick from the supplier. Ordinarily I just wouldn't bother as the stick is only worth about a tenner, but their t&c tell me I need to cover the return costs, which contravenes the Sales of Goods Act I believe?
I'm going to start an argument with them over it and see what happens

Send it back, then sue for the postage.

It was bought through Amazon, I expect if they get arsey I'll just dob them in to Amazon and see what they say,
