I don't quite agree with the op on what you wrote up there most gamers like me can afford the console pay Internet bills monthly but I hardly see any reason to play online the Internet speed is crap here in naija,apart from Nepa or PHCN can't be a barrier when your are playing, there are ups, inverter or I pass my neighbour Gen at least, those should take care of your power issues.Stereo type?nah not in this country, most gamers are actually very good academically, plus not all are nerds,alot of blokes in Naija are gamers and they are very good.

Mtn's speed is decent @3mbps (megabits) but a lil too expensive. Even glo is manageable but only at midnight @1mbps(megabits). Running gen etc is extra cost. I usually have to subscribe about 3times a month for mtn@2500naira each.

6 gfs? your pocket must be ripped lool, how do you cope



on topic, i bought the gta five game and i wanted to update the online mode only for it to get to 2gb then NEPA takes light this happened four other times. also when i was at 85% of playing gta while saving nepa took light, corrupted my saved data had to start from scratch



and to those calling gamers nerds yes we are!!! we think faster than you, call us geniuses.

Me I like video games very well...but consoies appears to be expensive to maintain..I mean...5 high end PS4 games could be running you into 15-20k times 5...du the math...am thinking of building my own gaming PC ...since internet is still lagging in nigeria...will just rely on campaign modes...and if u understand video game anatomy u will notice that PC is the ultimate...PS4 and Xbox one have limited hardware components...can't wait for my 16GB Ram beast...hooked up to my 4K sony TV(lawwd)...GTA 5 and project cars go suffer o!

Yeah, it's thru that games on consoles are expensive compared to pcs where you can just download or buy cheap games. I got ma 360 for 30k (fairly used) and buy games for 4k each (I have about 8. ). I mostly play multiplayer using mtn 4.5gig for 2500naira. Of course its not enuf, u might end up subscribing 2ice in a month. But the speed is good enuf for online gaming.

That your number one is peculiar to all gamers. But the internet thing is the most important I rember when I bought my xbox one from jumia last december quite cheap but when I switched on console and tried signing in to Xbox live I had a compulsory 9.6gb update. Buh its up and running now anytime to upate comes I just go to a freinds place and do the update. Live its the single largest money drainer due to internet connection.

Lol the number 2 Fifa online player in the world is on my bbm list and has challenged me countless times but cos of internet speed, I can't accept that challenge..... plus.....the player is Female!!!..... I should now get schooled by a girl?!!!...on Fifa?!!!..... no excuse I give would hold water o.

Am a FIFA guy right from FIFA 11 now I play FIFA 15 .Two problems I face are power and internet. I have a strong UPS.that lasts me long enough to start my generator and change over in case of power failure but still I face the music.sometimes. Imagine running up and down to solve your power problems whilst your opponent ia sitting comfortably in his bedroom in America. You are half beaten already.
I use a modem which I have connected via a LAN cable to my PS3. I have secured the fastest and most stable 3G network in my area. This still ends up being so unstable and unreliable. Sometimes I feel so bad being a Nigerian.
So difficult to compete in this global village..

9.6gig? Was it a brand new Xbox? Slim or phat? Am on live too, mainly play COD and BF. I usually buy live subscription from g2a(.)com, far cheaper than microsoft's. What Internet plan do you use?

I love video games especially action/adventure games filled with puzzles..what most pple don't know Is that games actually exercise ur brain, it gives ur brain a good workout..cause some games before u beat a level u really have to be smart, calculating and one step ahead of mr computer.

Playing games like tomb raider 2&3 back then in secondary school boosted my reasoning skills...tomb raider puzzles and soul reaver puzzles na die and it even built my patience, persistence and perseverance.

Re: 5 Issues Only Nigerian Gamers Understand by HyDef(m): 7:51pm On Apr 16, 2015
Who cares what all you haters think about gamers? I game, and I love it. I'm a medical student and I play video games. Doesn't mean that I had to dissolve my lifestyle down. And frankly, what you think won't stop me.

In almost any hobby, you have people who pursue it in the excessive. People who watch TV all day. People who talk and gossip with friends all day. People who are on the Web all day. People who play games all day. That doesn't mean all are defined by the extremes.

It's really about what you like and not giving a damn about what anyone else thinks.

Anyway. I played Dying Light the other day.... I'll probably be scarred for life... Off topic, but still. smiley

No. 4 reminds me of how I had a PS2 without a memory card, and how I played The Force Unleashed probably 50+ times before finally beating the game beginning to end. That was a beautiful accomplishment. All thanks to our beautiful power supply.

I agree with Halo.

Halo 2 I had on my beautiful loyal Xbox. Still working too. Me and my brothers would scream and laugh and shout and jump around when playing. An amazing game. Even if it was past midnight, a well timed kill would have my younger brother screaming.
