    Well Supervalu wouldn't let me return the game. No refund, no store credit. 3 managers surrounded me while I argued consumer rights and stonewalled me for the whole 15 minutes saying "your not getting a refund or store credit, it's as simple as that". Terribly ignorant and rude.
    Consumer rights dont cover a person not liking the product.Im not surprised they were rude and ignorant if you were going on about something you havent a clue about for 15 minutes.

    ...Troll much?

    On what basis did you want to return the game? Did it not work?

    You can't be serious.

    I have dealt with customers and still do. What did you expect?
    Buy the game and bring it back no problem after you opened it?

    You know customers don't actually have that many rights when returning things.

    Some stores can be sound and allow you bring back pants but they have every right not to.

    Pointing out that you're clueless about consumer law isnt trolling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1 shottyhull


    It says it all really when the sunshine and lollipop thread has a grand total of 5 posts and the megabitch thread spans 4 pages long in addition to all the negativity on this thread - in addition this threads pages has soared to 20 pages of negativity in just 48 hours. thats nearly half the full amount of pages of the entire thread since it was first posted back in feb....shocking stuff really....

    .......the lag in this game is truly shocking...abysmal stuff. if you haven't bought this game yet think of mw3 lag only worse! yeah scary thought :(

    call of lagfest...ghosts is dead on arrival....nothing they can do to bring this back from the brink. im so disappointed

    Are the servers down at moment ps3 same with playstation network?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    If someone is trolling, report it. If you think someone is a rereg, report it

    It's against site rules to call other users either of these even if it's true. Use the report button and let the mods deal with it

    Thanks

    I just got back from Gamestop. Returned it and got store credit. Guy behind the counter said they're inundated with returns. Doesn't look good. :( When I was walking out I seen some blind dude collecting money for charity so I went across the road to the ATM, took 60 big one's out and threw it in his donation box. That alone has given me more satisfaction than Ghosts ever could. Sorrowful attempt on the part of the developers.

    Really thinking of returning mine with Gamestop, how did you get store credit for it? By just saying you weren't happy with the game?

    To the poster PM'ing me, asking whether I'm the alt-accounts, get a grip with yourself. Like I'd need to do that to validate my opinion.

    i dont understand why its getting such a hammering here at boards...are ye all doing ****e or something?


    its call of duty. we have come acustomed to minor changes in gameplay and a few maps and guns added in. you all expected a little too much....

    I was holding a comfortable 2:1 - 3:1 K/D mostly playing solo for a couple of hours after 10 months away from any COD, so no, it's not that at all.

    I was hoping against hope that the game would be more in line with titles like COD4, MW2, Black Ops 1, etc. If that's expecting too much, well then I was expecting too much.

    The lads from #TheRace didn't seem to be enjoying it

    I've no idea who they are :o

    I thought Woody was in line to work at Activision? I remember him saying something about applying for a job a couple of years ago, before I unsubbed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 679 ✭✭✭Shifty Shellshock


    Not sure what to think of it all. One minute I am doing terrible and hate the game. Next I go on amazing runs and just kill everyone in sight and even got a streak of 15 going which is good for this game since you can be killed in the blink of an eye. A really strange game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,415 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    Ah sure 12 hours of gameplay and I'm starting to get used to it, it's not as bad as I first made out, some of the good things include the Search and destroy variant, Cranked is good crack, it can only get better on the PS4, better graphics, hopefully they will turn on the fabled dedicated servers.

    @Princess Petulia our Mod, have you picked it up yet and what do you think?

    @the battlefield spammers go back to your little forum before a bunch of Team Cod go over and start posting how BF4 is the spawn of Satan ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,407 ✭✭✭lkionm


    So tonight I had my first night on understanding the modes, not so much the maps as of yet, slowly getting to know them. The maps get better and some maps were designed with certain game modes in mind. I think these maps are only a clusterf uck as ye said because no one knew the maps and all had a circle jerk in the middle. People are getting to know them now and it's getting more spread out.

    It's starting to get really enjoyable, sliding in and killing someone is actually one of the greatest gaming moments I have had in a long time.

    Playing blitz in a team is brilliant as well.

    A few annoying things are the spawns but they will be patched soon enough I would imagine. Dom spawns are a little bit all over the place.


    If you are undecided, play it again. It is a little annoying having to adjust your game style though until you know the maps.


    There is also a kill streak of a guy sniping out of a heli.


    The Odin streak is the best team streak in any cod. It's basically a giant vsat and you can lay down smoke or deploy a juggernaut and mark and flash enemies while telling your team where they are.


    You really need to be in a team to fully appreciate how they want this cod to play.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    Unfortunately not yet :( really looking forward to it though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    have a total of 10 hours gameplay now (i know..alot after only 3 days)

    i have to say..its growing on me. i never disliked it to begin with. the maps seem better to me. obivously some are just crap like in every cod

    no doubt a patch will be live soon to fix some spawns and the pathetic loser hackers.

    i wish people would stop moaning about it allready and let the people who are enjoying it have proper discussions..

    Finally played it tonight and after reading lots of you guys bashing it I have to say I like it and I found out I have battlefield 3 must have got one game and then left behind goes to show how that struck me.

    Most of the moaning comes from people not dominating they once did and that's all I can see, ok there still those lag cheaters but they seem to be less effective, graphics wise are they great no but I'm yet most games live up to expectations of graphics.

    I had fun anyway, there does seem to be trolling around and they must sad people if you don't play it simples.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,415 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken

    Really looking forward to your opinion on this one as I know you enjoy playing COD, it will seem daunting at first but give it a good 7-8 hours gameplay to get to know the maps perks etc and I'd say you'll like it.:)

    Anyway, after 5 games last night I have no clue what's going on in this game. Granted I didn't really look at class setups or kill streaks or perks. All I know is you die quickly and get punished for everything.

    Is Blitz the CTF type game? Spawns are a bit silly. It often spawned me very close to the enemy flag.

    I don't like the scoreboard and kill feed in the top right.

    *cough* FaZe Kells *cough*

    In case no one heard me there, I said FaZe Kells. What a moany bollox :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,426 ✭✭✭Neon_Lights


    Faze players aren't usually that good in my experience (not to mind the added amount of wannabes out there), i've played in BO2 with Faze Bazie (i think thats correct), he's a friend of a friend. We smashed him and his support team in a private Team Deathmatch set of games.

    Not to say I do admire the efforts of them trying for hours on end trying to get those trickshots down. ESniping, is pretty cool too, as long as people keep to themselves and do what they do in private matches, thats okay with me. Gotta love that Snipper Riffle yo!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    No wai man, FaZe Kells is MLG Pro.


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    Is eSniping a term now? Jeez, I'm really out of the loop these days.

    Maybe if I was half the age I'am currently (26 for reference sake), would I call it anything remotely admirable.

    Also those who do it in private lobbies, besides being immensely sad on quite a few levels are usually set up beforehand all for the sake of dem YT views/monaaaaaay.

    Those prepube eejits, as well as the likes of OpTic are half the reason SnD went down the toilet on a public gaming level from MW2 onwards.

    Kells tells me he's the best player on Xbox btw.
