This threads still about not Pre-ordering right?
...what else would it be about? It still looks like we're talking about pre-ordering.
joke.
youre a tad bit late bud
I don't see how that could be taken as a joke, but alright.
It's only been a few hours since you posted it, not sure how I'm "late".
God you're a pent up user.
Your post just made no sense, all I did was ask for confirmation.
I'm good at recognising jokes when they are, in fact, jokes.
I recognized it as a joke and I haven't even been paying attention to the thread.
How is it a joke? It wasn't clever or humorous (which I know is subjective, but still).
"Is this thread even still about pre-ordering?"
This implies it has changed in it's nature about pre-ordering, which it hasn't in the slightest.
If he had said something like "you'd think after 4 pages of dialogue the topic of discussion would change." That would've been somewhat clever, and I would consider it a "joke".
I meant no offense to the OP but IMO it wasn't a joke.
This threads still about not Pre-ordering right?
This is the actual quote. It's pretty obvious that he's making a humorous quip about the minor derailment this thread suffered. It isn't his fault you misinterpreted it.
The thread hasn't derailed in the slightest, which is why I argue it wasn't a joke. Sure, it was an attempt but that doesn't make it a successful one.
It went from not pre-ordering to issue of demos and betas not reflecting the final product for a bit.
From what I've seen, it seemed to have come back to the pre-ordering issue by the time that True made his post, which again makes it a non-joke. But I digress, not going to argue anymore. Cheers.

Why do you use overly complex diction to make your points? Isn't it rather counter-productive, to convoluted your arguments behind a wall of pretentious synonyms?
Or do you use it as a screening process for idiots like myself?
His diction isn't even complex though...
In Serious it gets out of hand. In The Flood it's not even an issue.

I've always been that way. Complex diction comes as naturally to me as 'regular' diction, so I don't really detect any problems when I'm talking. I'm more sensitive to it nowadays, though, because I'll usually have a friend or peer next to me telling me to speak English.
But you would think if your goal is to "spread your message" across the internet, that communicating with the simpletons like myself would make more sense, something you couldn't do when using your natural vocabulary. I understand it's a bit more difficult for you to dumb down what you're trying to say but I think the message is overall stronger if you do. Just my two cents.

Alright buddy, alright.
The joke was towards Septy, who I infact talk to in skype and he was telling us about you lot getting all pent up because you actually like to pre order, the fact that you all turned this thread into a argument about Pre ordering and not pre ordering was the joke. The thread is about pre-ordering, so how is pointing out the people arguing about the topic at hand a joke? Forums by nature are used as a means to discuss. That would be akin to going to a baseball game and half way in saying to your friend, "Lol, are people still competing at baseball?" "Haha. Good one, dude." Do you see my point? It seems you all got a little mad in here, that's not my problem. You want to pre-order, he's not stopping you, its just his opinion that its not a good idea.
I'm not mad in the slightest. I get frustrated with Lemon because he's Lemon but that has nothing to do with the OP or the topic of discussion. I actually made a few jokes myself when talking directly to Septy. I should reiterate that I meant no offense to you or the OP but I was only, again, asking for confirmation.

I've never played a bad Pokemon game.
Haven't you played Emerald, though?

It just sounds like you're butt hurt over a few bad games you were hoping to be good or didn't turn out the way you wanted.
Holy shit so much this.

After some thought, I've changed my position on the matter a bit, to fit the thread's standards.
First off:
There's no excuse for pre-ordering physical copies anymore. This isn't 2004, they won't run out.
But it's still okay to pre-order digitally. There are just certain conditions you should always be under (some of these are applicable to physical purchase as well, and will be marked with a "*"):
1: The pre-ordering will only be done within 3 days of the game's release.*
2: The pre-ordering is used only to pre-load.
3: There are multiple reviews already published, that indicate a successful, unbroken launch. If there are no reviews, this should be a sign that the publishers are aware of things wrong with their game and should be considered a red flag. DO NOT PRE-ORDER if this is the case.*
4: The pre-ordering is a rare occurrence. Things that you're a big fan of, like Halo, The Witcher, Pokemon, etc. You shouldn't be even considering pre-ordering unless you are a mega-fan.*
This is, in my opinion, the best trade-off of getting your games ASAP and remaining an intelligent consumer in the industry.
Come at me, thread.

Literally so pumped. Especially since the next movie will star Vegeta instead of Goku.
Dude are you fuckin' serious?
Holy SHIT this just keeps getting better and better
Yeah, Akira has like 12 movies planned. Instead of manga or tv anime, he's sticking with the movie format. Which is better, IMO. The movies always had better pacing than the show. But I wouldve liked Vegeta to be the star of this one, as a whole revenge theme for the saiyan race.

when i was ten, and my friends started playing Halo, i always thought that the only reason they played games like that was because the "big kids" (teenagers) played them
gotta look cool in front of the big kids, right
This. This. This. This. This. Ver baetim is right, guys.

I once ran into some guy who lived down the road from me.
My buddy and I were talking about his job, and he explained to us (while in a party with the other guy) that all the cars were coming out onto Dundas street.
The other guy recognised the street name and it turns out they go to the same school.
Gojira and I used to live in the same area, and my brother used to go to the same school as him.
TBlocks and I go to the same school.

I don't get it
the 7th post in the fucking thread was dubs and he called it
look i know you have permanently squinted eyes but it's pretty fucking obvious
I don't think he knows what "dubs" are. That's what he meant by "I don't get it".

> You own xbox so you got up to MGS3
> Cries forever
MGS4 is one of the main reasons I want a PS3. *sigh
You used to be able to stream it from PS Now. Not anymore, though. As much as I dislike the game, it is still a must-play for fans of the series and I don't think people will enjoy MGSV as much if they haven't played it. And believe me when I tell you, the experience needs to be played, not watched. The cutscenes on youtube might cut it, but youre basically forcing yourself to hate Kojima that way. Just don't do it.

No but seriously probably Baird + Joel from gears of war and TLOU respectively.
Baird because I'm highly intelligent (on paper) but also a total jack ass who gives 0 fucks most of the time. Joel because I'm caring to a fault at times and sometimes make decision that are selfish and justify them by telling myself I'm helping someone else. I also have the dark hair and sometimes my "country" accent slips through as much as I try to hide it.
I'm really surprised you said you were highly intelligent. I actually agree with you (you are ridiculously clever at times), but it's rare that people are so honest about themselves. I'm impressed, Ty.

My favourite part in the game is when a certain character *SPOILER* gets both his arms cut off and has to kill people with a sword in his teeth *SPOILER END*.
...Well, I liked that part. :c
Raiden became one of my favourite characters in MG because of this game.
That scene and the split-screen boss fight against Vamp and the GEKKOs redeemed him after MGS2.
I actually didn't mind him that much in MGS2, but yeah, MGS4 made him way more badass. Y'know, before Revengeance ruined him again.
"Killing is wrong though. Oh wait lemme just kill some more!"
Sam was awesome, though, in my opinion. He was like the new Liquid, who didn't give a shit. The original Liquid, not Ocelot's throat-cancerous manchild Liquid.
Yeah, Sam was pretty cool. From a gameplay perspective, Revengeance is actually more enjoyable than GoTP, IMO. But the story is just... ugh. It's the Attack of the Clones for Metal Gear.
I did like the Sunny cameo, though. Mostly because it fixed my opinion of her from MGS4 (I hated her a lot in that game).
I didn't mind her too much. I usually hate kids in fiction, but her shenanigans amused me once or twice, and I didn't notice her most of the time.
My biggest problem with her (and MGS4) is the character animations. They're all so overdone and weird. Every subtle motion is blown up to unrealistic proportions. Hell, even Snake pisses me off once in awhile. His slow crawling animation, while funny, is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
