@PeanutButterPopsicle, that's the problem with mmo's these days they rush to the finish and before its done they slap beta on the end of it and hold over for more Dev time and money. It's mostly due to over extending resources. Unless your a AAA company releasing it then people just race the end of the available content and complain that there's nothing else to do 2 months after release.

Okay, so a little while back I posted my idea for a novel and asked for feedback. For those of you who are interested, I wanted to post a short excerpt from it. As a Santrik, I would've been fine with people shunning me. That was normal for the other races to do to us. But being shunned while your two friends weren't, that was infuriating. I knew it wasn't their fault. Though the rest of the town ignored me, Damien walked beside me. His white hair gleamed in the sun, his piercing poison purple eyes held a glint of amusement. At what, I wasn't sure. I was sure if one thing, though; he was more beautiful in that moment than ever. Just for walking beside me. Not that Tide didn't, but she was distracted by everything that lined the streets. I glanced over and saw Damien staring at me. "What?" I asked. He shrugged. "Just you. Your eyebrows knit together when you think. It's cute." He answered. I found myself blushing like an idiot, while he just laughed.

@Jay Uchiha, "I'm far from cute," I murmured. He stopped at a vendor and I almost bumped into him. He examined a necklace that the vendor suggested, carefully moving it so that the perfectly cut stones glittered in the sunlight. It was beautiful, a silver chain with diamonds and emeralds, much too refined for me. I liked it and would've loved to wear and have it, but I didn't think it would suit me, with my grubby face and my bloody clothes. "Hm. Salem, turn around." Said Damien. I did. He put the necklace around my throat and hooked the back of it, then turned me around again to face him. A strange look came onto his face, almost predatory. It went just as fast as it had shown up, and he grinned, flashing a row of perfectly white teeth. I shifted, uncomfortable under his calculating gaze. He turned to the vendor, but the man waved off his offer of money. "No charge for the pretty lady and her escort," he said. So we didn't insist.

@Jay Uchiha, After that, Damien kept staring at me, not in a way that made me uncomfortable, but in a I-don't-know-what-to-say kind of way. I thought it was weird for him, but didn't inquire. We went to the inn that someone suggested, called the Crooked Ridge. It was nice, and once we got up to our rooms I immediately took a bath. This place even had running water. Once I was done, I wrapped myself in a towel and put on the clothes that Tide had laid out for me. She was reading on the other bed, not looking while I changed. "You know Damien fancies you." She said. I blinked. "He does?" I asked. She sighed and looked at me. "Come on, Salem, not even you can be this dense. He likes you. It's so obvious I wouldn't be surprised if he followed you to the end of the world." I took this in. He showed all of the signs. I smirked. Maybe it was true.

@Jay Uchiha, There's been some downvote trolls here recently. I don't think it's because people here genuinely don't like your work. I went ahead and upvotes it all :D and I do think your writing style is really engaging. Even though I don't know the back story, I found myself reading the whole thing.
-
@Jay Uchiha, I wouldn't downvote you but I do understand why some people would. Your writing style is good but I guess the reason you got downvotes is because it was really confusing. If you're gonna present a story don't present it with characters the audience has no clue about and also don't present it from a random love passage. Give us something interesting, the plot, a short summary, etc. What you did right now a lot of people will find it not interesting because it has no base. You're writing style is good but I guess you just need to give a better presentation of the book. One which will keep the reader keen for more.

@Faptain, Ah. That's what I was thinking. I see now what I did and hopefully will try to think before I post something like that. I'm not new to writing, but I am still an amateur at the most when it comes to staying on topic and sensible. I tend to ramble and...I'm doing it again. Anyway, thank you for your advice and I will take it to mind next time I do something like this. :)

@Jay Uchiha, aww man, that's pretty frickin' cool! Sorry for sounding so excited and creepy but I always wanted to be a writer but couldn't because of family issues, so it always warms me up when I see someone else with a passion for writing. Anyhow, good luck with your book and your writings pretty good man, keep it up and try to stay on topic! :DD

@Sam da ram, they only had temporary glitches and problems for the old PS3 system, but rendering is slower, and many maps are too large for the 24 player limits. There is a lot of potential for fun, and believe me, I still have fun with what they improved, but it just isn't as appealing with a more and less complex elements.

@Sam da ram, Not at all. I've never had any major issues with BF4 before on my xbox. When the game first was released it would freeze every once in a while (usually only on specific maps), but they've had several updates to it since then and have fixed like 95% of the issues surrounding the game. Now it rarely freezes, and interestingly enough these freezes, although very very uncommon, occur when you take an EXTREMELY hard hit in the game, such as being hit by several rockets at once while in a helicopter. I never really found PC games that enjoyable just because they are typically a hassle to install and get working properly unless you know a large deal about computers.
