Impressions from a really old gamer :)

Post by revvie »

Downloaded this game a few days back when the wife was out at work(she hates me playing games btw)thinks id be better off doing the housework.
Anyway,i thought id put down what i liked about this game.....
Everything!!
Played the demo and really got stuck into it,had a small problem with some noximanders in the crypt,but found a novel way of beating them without taking any damage,i got them to follow me back to a portcullis and closed it when they was underneath it.But now ive finished the demo i really want to carry on,but am stuck because i have no way of purchasing the game,dont have a credit card or anything,not being able to work because of health doesnt help either.still im sure ill find a way,maybe if i rob a bank or force someone with a card to help me out hehe.
Think ill go back and try a diff char.

Bloody good game btw,keep up the good work.

If you mean store as in Online store,then no i cant as i have no means to pay for it.if on the other hand you mean apply for one online,then yes i could and i have,but they also cost,the cheapest id found was £15 to apply and activate and another £5 per month charges,now whilst thats not much money to some,for me its different,im on benefits here and paying out £15,then another £20 to be able to purchase Escahlon isnt the route that i could take,as amost of the money i get is taken up by buying food and paying for the rent.So for now ill just have to keep on playing the demo and one or two of the full priced commercial games that i have in my collection.

My guess is that dak is from the US, revvie, and you have some sort of system there where you can buy pre-paid credit cards in shops.

Have just spent the last 45-50 minutes checking out all available prepaid mastercard websites and others that offer advice etc.
Of all the ones checked only 3 were free to apply for,but they were not accpetable to make online payments and the only way to top them up was online,not good for me then.
the others all charged an activation fee and monthly charges,not good for me either.so as the French say "Ce'st la Vie?" ill just have to carry on as i am.
Appologies for taking this somewhat of topic,feel free to behead,hang draw and quarter if so required :lol:
