Lookin forward to that one and LA Noire.  Both kinda look like GTA but in different settings, which is a nice change of pace.

The first two were pretty good so I have high hopes for this one.  The map is supposed to be huge and, more or less, completely interactive.

I'm skeptical that it can have the same personality as the old Super Tecmo.  Simplicity was one of the key components of the old game.  I doubt the new will be quite as simple.

The NOMAD was a portable Sega Genesis. That's it.  It didn't catch on because it took a crapload of batteries and rechargable batteries wouldn't even work with it.  There were no NOMAD exclusive games.

I used the power cord, bro. But yea the thing was pretty jank-ass. The cartridge was always coming loose so I had to always keep a nickel on hand to jam in the back. And playing 2-player split screen on that thing was ridiculous unless you hooked it up to your tv.

Tecmo Super Bowl.  Eat it, bitches.
That is actually being re-done and released on PSN and XBLA.

I'm skeptical that it can have the same personality as the old Super Tecmo.  Simplicity was one of the key components of the old game.  I doubt the new will be quite as simple.
Simplicity and of course, unbalanced gameplay...which is why most people love Tecmo bowl in the first place, I believe.  I mean, Bo Jackson, really?

Anyways, I think they are going to leave that alone.

Here's a list of the new game's features:

Online Multiplayer: Find your old buddies online and challenge them to matches just like back in the day

2D + 3D Graphics: Experience all new 3D graphics with the ability to switch to the classic 2D style!

Customisable Teams and Rosters: Play as any of the 32 teams with customisable team names and rosters in full seasons

Online Leaderboards: Compare your stats in a wide array of online leaderboards

Classic Game Modes: Battle it out with your friends and kick off a game in Pre-Season, Season or Pro Bowl modes

well, Prototype won't bring world peace or cure cancer, but it was fun. A couple bosses were a little monotonous, but the story, gameplay and the atmosphere was awesome. Kinda like Crackdown in the gameplay regard.

Crackdown 2, Alan Wake and New Vegas are really the only ones I know about that I'm looking forward to. I want RUSE for PC. I have way too many games I need to catch up on at the moment.

And yes, Batman AA was amazing.

Seriously though, I wonder how that will work?  Will it only apply to Valve games plus whatever games they can get Mac versions for?  I doubt the entire STEAM library would be available. Oh, that last paragraph of the article is pretty much bullshit and stupid.

What's the best graphics card available for any Mac? The 9400? Nothing released after 2006 will be able to run on them.

edit- Ok, the imacs run a 4850, which isn't horrible, but isn't great and won't run things at too high of res. And no the entire library won't be on there. 90% of the stuff out there is ran on Direct X. I'm pretty sure Valve still uses OpenGL, though.

Tecmo Super Bowl.  Eat it, bitches.
That is actually being re-done and released on PSN and XBLA.

I'm skeptical that it can have the same personality as the old Super Tecmo.  Simplicity was one of the key components of the old game.  I doubt the new will be quite as simple.
Simplicity and of course, unbalanced gameplay...which is why most people love Tecmo bowl in the first place, I believe.  I mean, Bo Jackson, really?

Anyways, I think they are going to leave that alone.

Here's a list of the new game's features:

Online Multiplayer: Find your old buddies online and challenge them to matches just like back in the day

2D + 3D Graphics: Experience all new 3D graphics with the ability to switch to the classic 2D style!

Customisable Teams and Rosters: Play as any of the 32 teams with customisable team names and rosters in full seasons

Online Leaderboards: Compare your stats in a wide array of online leaderboards

Classic Game Modes: Battle it out with your friends and kick off a game in Pre-Season, Season or Pro Bowl modes

I absolutely love this game. Still play it all the time. Thurman Thomas. Will run all over everyone
QB Eagles to Keith Byars. Also someone go back and play it, is there anyone faster than Neon Deon?

I actually just had this given to me, not sure if that's a good sign or not, a couple days ago.  I've only had time to play it for about 15 mins though.  From the little bit I've played it seems to have some potential.  Looks good in hd, real simple controls, good gun selection.  If you shoot someone they're pretty much dead, you don't have to sit there and pump them w/ 15 bullets.  Haven't played multi-player yet.

You could have had the same thing for free though.  More than likely everything in the map pack was already under development before the game released, and as is the norm these days companies release half-finished piles of crap and then sell what should have been part of the game in the first place as DLC.

Destroying the gaming industry.

Actually, a new trend is to package DLC with the game, and then charge for an "unlock code".  You already have the map packs, but you just need to pay $19.99 to unlock them on the disc, and you are none the wiser....

I like DLC, but not a big fan of map packs.  They don't add a whole lot of value to the game IMO.

I only sell/trade them if they end up being a worthless game that I don't enjoy playing at all, which is rare.  I tend to only buy games that I know I will enjoy.

I've got a couple of bookcases (cheap fake-wood kind) that holds all my dvd's/blurays/games, plus a cheap wire rack thing that holds "recently played games" which are more accessible.

I think I have around 30ish Playstation 3 games, about 15 360/Wii games.  Not that many? :dunno:

Edit: Also have around 15-20 PSP games and 15-20 Nintendo DS games...

Saul, what do you spend on video games a year?  To you sell/trade them in when buying new or do you hoarde the crap out of them?  I'm guessing hoarder. 
I only sell/trade them if they end up being a worthless game that I don't enjoy playing at all, which is rare.  I tend to only buy games that I know I will enjoy.

I signed up for the beta but wasn't selected, sadface. 

I've heard the Steam for Linux rumor, it's been going around for a  long time hasn't it?

The rumor "picked up Steam" when Steam for Mac was announced.

And yeah it seems like it will be Valve titles and w/e other titles were already available for mac.  Still, I love Steam and it's game sales so i'm happy it will be reaching more potential customers.

This will be the best NCAA Football EA has made for the 360. And I agree they have all been the same rough ridin' thing. But they have added all new equpiment. Including brand new nike, adidas, under armour cleats, Towels, handwarmers, new helmets etc. And from what ive heard/read, they are using the technology madden used. So if the gameplay is anything like madden ill be happy. But when it comes to EA sports and college football, im ready for a dissapointment.

That lawsuit should have no effect on Black Ops, since Black Ops is Treyarch's COD title. now Modern Warfare 3 could be a whole other problem, since that is Activision/Infinity Ward's COD title.

I don't recall, but did Call of Duty 5 have nearly as many problems as Modern Warfare 2 has?  I don't remember the constant bitching while playing World at War.

Tried it yesterday. Never played ODST that much. Just stuck to Halo 3 for mindless relaxation. Reach was pretty cool. It was different. Took a little while to get used to the controls for me, not sure why they switched them up.

The changes to the maps make them useless to me, too confusing. But i did like how you can tell if a person is on a different level/story than you, not just right around the corner.

Anyone playing the Halo: Reach beta? I haven't played Halo 3 or ODST in ages. Thought they were awful. Reach is pretty damn fun though. Surprising.

Tried it yesterday. Never played ODST that much. Just stuck to Halo 3 for mindless relaxation. Reach was pretty cool. It was different. Took a little while to get used to the controls for me, not sure why they switched them up.

The changes to the maps make them useless to me, too confusing. But i did like how you can tell if a person is on a different level/story than you, not just right around the corner.

They're completely new maps. Why would people buy new games if it were the same exact maps each time. I understand throwing a couple remakes in there, but thats it.

crap....i meant radar, not maps. I get the new maps part. They were pretty cool. Sorry if that sounded dobbish.

I hope the Wildcat found it's way into the NCAA 11 playbook. Seemed awful lame that it was in Madden but not NCAA 10. Probably not gonna buy it this year if the only changes are some slightly more realistic looking animations, and I didn't see any gang tackling in the video either. Not a bad game, just not worth getting it every year.

It was. Use florida's playbook. "gator heavy". You can substitute a fast reciever or running back in place of your quarterback, and bam you have the "wildcat" And yes it should be in 11

Too lazy. Also, I'm pretty attached to Mizzou's playbook right now. Don't understand why there's no legit wildcat package yet, and it seems like it'd be worth mentioning in that video that goes over the different offenses if it was indeed included. Oh well, that 60 bucks can go to Reach or Fable 3 instead  :shy:

Total newbie question here so bear with me.  My big bro gave me his unneeded (he is going back to mid east to fight Iranians in Iraq LOL dax) X-Box 360.  I hooked it up last night.  He gave me no games....

Few questions:

The unit has a faux woodgrain on the front with a red and green line running horizontally across the front.  It has no component hookup jacks, I had to use an HDMI cable.  Is this some special edition or some crap?

What games are just have?  I like sports games but my last video game was a PS2 so I think some of the Halo-y type games are really advanced now and might want to try out.

I have a unlimited monthly Netflix account, can I stream through my Xbox?

TIA from a noob.
Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: pissclams on May 11, 2010, 10:31:56 AM
you should be able to pull that stupid faux woodgrain thing off.  it's just a faceplate.  only n00bs use them, he must be a total n00b.  also, he prob just didn't give you the component cables it comes with.  they don't plug into component on the 360,it's some weird jack but they do plug into your tv as traditional component.
but why use component when you can go HDMI?

you should be able to stream Netflix, you just have to log into your account.  also be sure and start up XBL asap when you get a game.
Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: Saulbadguy on May 11, 2010, 10:56:50 AM
To stream netflix you will need an XBox Live GOLD account.   You can buy a 12 month membership right now on Newegg for 34.99 (normally 49.99), no tax, free shipping.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874103129&cm_re=xbox_live-_-74-103-129-_-Product

As for games for 360, just buy Modern Warfare 2 or some garbage. ;)

FWIW, I love the game "Crackdown" on 360 and it can be had for cheap. Usually 10-15 bucks used at Gamestop.

Certainly no surprise given the people who are involved. My biggest concern is where does this stop? Are WoW like monthly subscription coming to consoles? Is Activision's plan of charging people for each piece of the game coming true?

They will do whatever makes them the most money, i'm guessing.  It's been proven with the Madden/NCAA games, and now FPS's like CoD, Halo, they can release a game a year and make a crap ton of $$$ without changing much.

No, it isn't a special edition.  More than likely no one will care that it has an aftermarket faceplate.  Actually, they may desire the original face plate, so the value would likely slightly decrease.

The Halo Reach Beta is amazing. I can't stop playing it.

 :excited:

I'm getting bored with it.

Don't care for playing by myself...much more fun when its split screen. I'm guessing i will be tired of it just about the time they take it away.

I don't think I've played once by myself. It doesn't keep it being just as aggravating as the other Halos.

do you know how many new maps there will be? 4?

In the game or beta? In the beta, there will be 4. The 2 normal maps, an Invasion map, and a Generator Defense map.

ok.  i love TF2 so i'm gonna hop on that
Looks like TF2 is still Windows only?

Portal is available for free.  Civ IV series is available, plus a ton of indie games.  Not much yet but i'm sure it will grow.

Gonna install it on my wifes Mac tonight so she can play some of the games.  It looks like any existing games you own labeled with the "Steam Play" icon means you do not need to purchase a separate copy for each platform, which is nice.

TF2 and Portal were supposed to be available on Day 1.  I've been at the office all day though and haven't installed Steam yet.  What Mac and version of OSX does your wife have?

So is it like GTA, where you can just wander around killing people and stuff if you want, and then approach people to launch missions when you're good and ready?

Correct.

A few changes:

You can get an item called "campsite", which allows you to save anywhere in the wilderness, rather than having to go back to a safe house.

Your health regenerates, rather than having to eat food or sleep, to regain health.

Quick travel is available, kind of like taxi's, but faster and less expensive.

You can hunt and kill animals and skin them. 

Rockstar social club integration, which adds further challenges and bonuses to the game.

I'm 80% through single player.  Incredible. I have completed the treasure, survivalist, and hunter challenges. Stuck on level 8 sharpshooter.  Only complain is I can't nail the whores.

Just popped in "Alan Wake".  Installing as I type.
Just finished Episode 1.  Yeah, this game is awesome.  It'll be tough putting it down.
i just watched the IGN review tonight and it looks great.  I was a big Max Payne fan so I'm going to pick up Alan Wake this weekend and give it a shot.  Unless I get Red Dead instead.  LMAO!  :lol:

I'd buy RDR first and put Alan Wake on hold.  AW doesn't have much replay value so used copies will be available for cheaper soon.

I was really worried about the long hauls between cities. Honestly though, it's awesome. There are encounters with strangers that send you on tasks. Unlike GTA, there is a ton of really good story and characters here. You can hunt animals and scavenge for plants, both helping you level up traits and are easy money. The best part of all is the random encounters. You'll often walk by someone stealing something, someone being kidnapped, or a shootout. You can ignore it or help out. Lots of other stuff like treasure maps, too.

But if you don't want to travel, just set up a camp and go to wherever you stick your way point on the map.

I've spent hours playing poker, liar's dice, and horse shoes.  I am an undefeated arm wrestler in Mexico and New Austin.   :comehere:  I've mastered all 10 levels of each challenge and have the "LEGENDARY" outfit.  I'm 80% done with the game. 

Fun thing to do once you get to the great plains up north.  Take your sniper rifle, get up on a hill, and start knocking out those Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) buffalo.  Keep doing it. See what happens. 

Bears...  scariest thing I've ever encountered in a video game.  They stomp the crap out of you and make Cougars look like kittens. 

Blasting bald eagles feels good too. 

I love this game.  Best RPG I've ever played.

Mostly playing just COD and a little Left For Dead on live right now. Probably more soon. Just getting back into gaming after giving it up completely for the last couple years while school and work were really kicking my ass. Used to play on the PC a ton back in the day. Diablo. Civilization, Starcraft, RED ALERT (so sweet), WarCraft, SimCity, Max Payne, Descent, so many others... good times, good times.

I'm guessing you need to go the Marshalls office and start a mission there.  Just head to the closest letter on the map.  Sometimes you can't start a mission before you finish another mission.

i was at the marshalls office in her ranch and picked the safe and stole some stuff then just bribed the cop.  i think there's another marshall office in the other town that the stagecoach takes you to, i'll try his office.

i think i could check my journal to find out where i am in the mission.

It's not too hard if your bets are low. Aiming is a bitch, but the power and release isn't tough. I start low, go full blast up and hit the trigger when the gauge is at the lowest marker. It usually ends up on the middle one for a decent throw.

Just look at your map, set a way point to the things with letters (B for Bonnie, M for the Marshall, etc.). You can't start them at certain times of day. Bonnie won't be available at night. When you get to the place, there should be a yellow X you walk to.

Waiting around for wild boars is a pain in the ass.  Half the time I end up shooting mountain lions and wolves instead.  The only place I could find (before unlocking any bridges) with wild boar was down by Thieves landing.

FYI, best place to get your knife kills on wolves is at Gaptooth Breach or at Riley's Charge.  I was all  :ohno: at first, but they are actually pussies.

Waiting around for wild boars is a pain in the ass.  Half the time I end up shooting mountain lions and wolves instead.  The only place I could find (before unlocking any bridges) with wild boar was down by Thieves landing.

FYI, best place to get your knife kills on wolves is at Gaptooth Breach or at Riley's Charge.  I was all  :ohno: at first, but they are actually pussies.


North of the train tracks in Hennigan's Stead is where the boars usually are (right next to the picture of the boar on your map haha).  If you go there and use the "bait" they should start comin' around.

this game is pretty buggy.  i've had to reset several times just tonight.  they didn't do a very good job testing it.
Haven't had any problems thus far...

my game will get hung up in loading screens where i have to shut down and restart the whole 360, i've had several animations (where i'm supposed to be talking to someone) go mute and then i'm glued to the floor- but the game isn't dead, i just can't move, forcing another reboot.  was riding out to Gaptooth Breach looking for some Desert Sage and my horse started flying and i was running inside of mountains and crap (that's happened twice)-  reboot.  several times my gun just won't draw and i can't switch to alternative weapons either, i have to rebood 360 to get it to work again.  i've never played any game this buggy.


i'm working on becoming a Master Survivalist.  can't wait!
Perhaps a RRoD is in your future? :fatty:

those aren't hardware failures  :frown:

That's pretty strange, pclams. The only oddities I get are my horse acting like a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

I was up till 1:30 playing last night. I just got to Mexico. I defeated a couple gangs and worked on stranger missions.

I have made it through all the Master survivalist stuff I can do in New Austin.  I will be a Master Survivalist someday, just like Clams.  However, I am on a fast track to Master Hunter to get me my Buffalo Rifle.  Once I get the Buffalo rifle, I will be very, very pleased.

Red Dead Redemption is like the Champagne Room.

It takes a bit to get used to everything, but once you do the game is really fun.  My advice for early starters is to simply pull up your map and go to any spot that has a big white letter on it ("B" for missions with Bonnie, "M" for missions with the marshall).....Oh, and until you get handy with your guns, ride like hell if you hear a cougar or a wolf (more dog-like sound than the coyote yelping)....'cause they'll kill your horse.

Do you dudes loot bodies?   I was for awhile, then I figured out that you get hardly any money for doing it, and it hurts your street cred too much.

You can make twice as much killing animals.  You can shoot prolly 20 deer in 10 minutes at Riley's Charge and then wipe your ass with 10 dollar bills.

Also, you need to quickly pull the left trigger, and this will site the gun right on the target, then very quickly follow with the right trigger to fire the gun.  Works like a charm.  When shooting, and not using the "Dead Eye" time slow down thing, you really need to think of it as a two-trigger action....quickly pull the left then the right.  LEFT-RIGHT, LEFT-RIGHT, LEFT-RIGHT....you just mowed down three dudes (unless using a shitty gun, and then you need to shoot each dude twice).
Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: ew2x4 on June 02, 2010, 11:15:45 AM
Also, when you lock on using the left trigger, you can move your crosshairs up slightly and go for head shots. It's tricky but damn handy when you need the speed.

Huge point right here.

It's imperative that you do this when you got a dude in the distance hunkered down behind a box or something.  Many of the dudes will pop up for a full exposure of their chests, but every once in a while you get one that just stays low.  THAT's when you use this handy maneuver.

Also, when you are in either of the missions in the gap-tooth breach mine shaft, just put that rifle away and use the cattleman's revolver hand gun.  Double tap every mother rough rider you encounter, and you'll breeze through it like a champ.  :gocho:

You don't even need to use dead eye.  In fact, it's easier if you don't.  If you point your rifle in close proximity to whatever you're shooting at and then hit L2 it should automatically lock on.

negative ghost rider, heard about this early on and tried it.  doesn't work.  i think i have something turned off in my settings like saul suggested.  the only time the reticule goes to a enemy is if i'm on a mission and they're shooting me, otherwise i have to bring up the gun then right joystick until i get the thing on the thing i'm trying to shoot.

Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: Saulbadguy on June 02, 2010, 03:28:26 PM
In normal targeting mode, you will need to have the reticule in the vicinity of the enemy and hit left trigger to lock on. Normal mode is the default.  However, it does prefer to target enemies better than animals/birds.  This is to help in a firefight, they don't want you to lock on to a rabbit next to some dude shooting at you.

In casual targeting mode, just hit the left trigger and it will lock on to the nearest enemy.  Similar rules apply as above.

Either you didn't save after that mission, or you just need to hit the left bumper and you'll see it on the left side of your weapon wheel.
it's not in my weapon wheel. i'm sure it was one of the billion times my game locked up before i saved.  i'll go find bonnie's tight ass again and see whats up.

this game is pretty buggy.  i've had to reset several times just tonight.  they didn't do a very good job testing it.
Haven't had any problems thus far...

my game will get hung up in loading screens where i have to shut down and restart the whole 360, i've had several animations (where i'm supposed to be talking to someone) go mute and then i'm glued to the floor- but the game isn't dead, i just can't move, forcing another reboot.  was riding out to Gaptooth Breach looking for some Desert Sage and my horse started flying and i was running inside of mountains and crap (that's happened twice)-  reboot.  several times my gun just won't draw and i can't switch to alternative weapons either, i have to rebood 360 to get it to work again.  i've never played any game this buggy.


i'm working on becoming a Master Survivalist.  can't wait!
Perhaps a RRoD is in your future? :fatty:
i'm starting to think this is a HW issue after all.  i've tried the mission where you go whispering horses with bonnie and her dad a dozen times and every time i get to the part where i 'm supposed to go find the big horse (after leading the horses to the canyon), my horse and me either start floating in the air or we go down into the ground and it stops responding.  the game time keeps moving though, because eventually the horse gets away and it tells me i fail, but i can't move.  the 360 responds normally though, like if i hit the xbox button i can go out to XBL, etc.  lame.  i think maybe the video card/VGU is over heating or something.  other games have no problems though, don't. know.

Get your ass to mexico and get those cactus flowers!  Master Survivalist is mere steps away.....once you get it, the survivalist map sticks around for twice as long when you activate it (you have to buy them at stores).

So far, I am not really enjoying Mexico as much as I thought I would.  I do like killing bobcats, however.

I think i'm about half way done with the game. Been messing around in Mexico too damn much. Read back through this thread and realized i need to do more survivalist/killing mountain lion stuff. I really want that Buffalo Rifle. Is that the same as the sniper rifle??

Do you guys use the Springfield rifle all the time now?? I was worried about running out of bullets, but the advanced campsite or w/e changed my mind.

Just made my way to the general store and gunnery after realizing i had over 2500 dollars saved up(not sure if this is a lot or not) Anything particular worth buying??

Also, does Bonnie ever come back?? I'm gonna be pissed if I don't bang her by the time this is over.

Buffalo rifle is good for... buffalo obviously but also bear.  1 shot kills to the head.  The sniper rifle is almost as powerful but the scope is sweet. Standing way off in the distance from a bad guy hideout and clipping a couple heads off is a blast.

Yeah, that's only for used games. You are still getting screwed because they're selling you a game you already own for $60. I will not buy another NCAA game until I am allowed to:

Set an athletic budget, including ticket prices, parking and concessions.
Make upgrades to facilities and the stadium, including relocating and building a new one.
Set the schedule based on the budget (pay for crappy teams to come play, have to schedule 2-for-1 to get good teams).
It would also be nice if I could try to get other conferences to pick me up (like Mizzou is currently doing).

This would make it possible for me to take a crappy school and turn them into a power without having to continue playing in a high school stadium.

2.  Will you guys stop playing right now and not restart until I get the game so I can join in once I get question 1 figured out?

luckily deer carry more money than the average GTA pedestrian.

eff me. I accidently looked at the spoiler text.  How much time left until I beat the game?  I just finished McDougals mission chain and doing the federal agent dudes mission chain. (Just finished the mission where you corner Dutch in the bank)

You have a while yet. There are half a dozen at least on the farm at Beecher's Hope. But that's kinda where it starts to end.  :frown:

which brings up a question I meant to ask. Should I always carry one of each item at all times  (ie, deer meat, wolf heart, skin, etc).  am I going to need these at times, or should I just always sell them all.

Email from my buddy who works for Microsoft

Quote
“Project Natal” is now KinectTM for Xbox 360®

At our E3 2010 briefing this morning, we showed the world how Xbox 360 will transform the way everyone has fun. We removed the final barrier separating gamers and everyone else with the controller-free magic of Kinect. We demonstrated that everyone can join in — irrespective of age or game playing experience. Whether building friendships with exotic creatures through KinectimalsTM, experiencing the thrill of roaring rapids with KinectTM Adventures!, or taking your moves to the next level with Dance CentralTM – without a controller – anyone can jump in and play, just by using your body and your voice. I’m pleased to share that Kinect – launching in North America on November 4, 2010 and available in all markets by mid-November – will have more than 15 games and experiences.

 

Xbox LIVE: ESPN, Zune Movies & Music, Video Chat

We have long used E3 to demonstrate our leadership in online entertainment. Today’s banner announcement was the partnership between Xbox and ESPN to create a live, high-definition streaming sports service that will carry 3,500 events in its first year alone, including NCAA football and basketball, World Cup soccer, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and much more. But we didn’t stop there: Kinect is revolutionizing entertainment with voice and gesture – from Zune Movies and Zune Music, and our video chat service, through our collaboration with Bing and Windows Live Messenger – connecting living room to living room without requiring a controller or a headset.

 

World Premiere — Halo: Reach, Gears of War 3, Fable III

Even as we reach out to new audiences with new experiences, we recognize that much of our current success has been built on our unrivaled commitment to core gamers. The biggest blockbusters of this generation have made their home on Xbox 360, and this year is no different. We introduced Halo: Reach, Gears of War 3 and Fable III to tremendous applause. We revealed our partnership with Crytek to create Kingdoms, a completely new Microsoft Game Studios franchise from one of the most cutting-edge developers in the world. We announced that for the next three years, all add-on content packs for Call of Duty would debut first and exclusively on Xbox 360.

 

A new Xbox 360, built in Wi-Fi and a massive hard drive

To launch Xbox 360 into a new era of fun and entertainment, we surprised the world at E3 by unveiling our brand-new, sleek, sexy and silent Xbox 360. Positioned for the digital future, it has a massive hard drive and boasts the fastest Wi-Fi of any console. The new Xbox 360 will be shipping to retailers today and available in stores this week.

The interface to watch movies looked awful.  It looked much more awkward and clunky than just using a controller.

I've always been interested if Microsoft would ever get in to the mobile gaming market. Perhaps to compete with Sony and Nintendo in that arena.

I agree with the service not going out and the internet being good, that is a good thing.  But their HD DVR boxes SUCK so BAD!!!  I set to record the IASIP that comes on monday nights, it recorded the first one and the last one, not the ones that come on at 8:30 and 9:00.  Both of them the sound kept cutting out every 10 seconds.  Directv was way better.

iirc time warner made the decision a couple years ago to start programming their own software for their dvr boxes instead of leaving it to people who knew what they were doing...  since then they've had a lot of issues.  i don't use a dvr so I don't have the problems you mentioned.

They didn't sell the subscription service well at all I thought. Why the hell would I care about having episodes of Qore or whatever it's called as well as other "premium content" that goes away the second i decide to not deal with the service anymore?

I think they are counting on people always keeping the subscription, kind of like XBOX Live.  Free games and stuff seems like a good deal.

Mexico or Gaptooth breach.  Later, you'll find them all over the plains and in tall trees.

Go to the mine, i forget where, Gaptooth Ridge gang hideout maybe??, but you go through the mine killing people. Use dead eye to disarm people. Using dead eye always starts with a full round, but doesn't count as reloading... It's nice because only one or two people come at you at a time, so it is easy pickins... Did it on my 2nd try.

I played through Assassin's Creed I and it was excruciating. I've heard the 2nd is a completely better experience and is much more fun. Thus I'll need to be trying that out at some point.

Batman Arkham Asylum was one of my favorites last year. I was geeking out while wigging out and kicking ass.

Right now I've been going through all of the Tales from Monkey Island games on the PSN. Awesome.

anybody know where to get a super cheap 360?  got the red rings the other day.   :blank:

Just send yours back to Microsoft and you'll get another one for free. Not sure if it will be new or used though.

Had mine for several years, out of warranty, dude.  Gonna cost $140 to have it fixed.

SteveDave, I'll buy it for $50 and a 6 pack of ICE (flavor of your choice)

Uhmm. 

Nothing like them.  It's kind of like Red Dead, in a way, where it's not that linear, you can kind of do what you want.  It's a "sandbox" type game, a large area you can roam around do what you want. 

If you don't feel like laying down 50-60 for it, pick up the first one for 10-15 bucks used anywhere and see if you like it.  They aren't too different.

Easy to learn.  Tough to master/get really good at.

I still have a tough time winning on any difficulty lower than Prince.  The problem is you develop a strategy, and you invest quite a bit of time in learning it doesn't work, and then you move on to the next one.

Pretty much what Saul said. Super easy to get into and be good at the lower difficulties. Incredibly difficult at the higher difficulties. There are 9 difficulties, I think.

I haven't even done multiplayer yet. on RDR. Hit me up with a posse invite or whatever it is when you guys do it.

The last good NCAA hoops game is College hoops 2k8.  You can download this past years rosters off ea locker.  Graphics not as good as the new EA game, but the gameplay is 100x better.  Also, 2k has stopped making college hoops games, and ea this year announced that they will no longer be making theirs, either.

 So it only makes since they change the NCAA Basketball game engine right? 

Gameplay for NCAA Basketball has just been horiffic.  Hopefully they jump on that and change it soon.

that sucks. do they really sell that bad? i wonder if 2k will jump on the opportunity to make one again since they would basically have no competition. it's nuts that nobody can make a good college basketball game.

side note on sports games: i have a bunch of them because they are fun to play with buddies and i love sports, but maybe about 2 years ago or so it was like i suddenly started realizing how much almost all sports games piss me off. NCAA football is probably the worst. seriously, most of its game play is just Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). i haven't played the new one yet so i'm still holding out a little hope.  :pray: but not much

FIFA is the only sports game i've ever played were i've thought "right on, this is how it should feel". it's by far my favorite sports game and i'm not even a huge soccer fan. fight night games are pretty sweet too.

i haven't bought a new sports game besides FIFA since that revelation a couple years back, but i might get that NBA Elite when it comes out if it looks promising just because i haven't got a new b-ball game in forever. or maybe i'll just go get 2k10.

I never dug the march madness games.  I always liked the 2k series for college ball.  That said, I think most basketball video games that aren't nba jam end up sucking ass.

So EA is apparently not going to be allowing people on PS3 to download the new NBA Jam unless they buy the new NBA Elite game which will come with a code to download Jam on the PS3.  :facepalm:

So EA is losing my $10.

Great thread guy!

While all of the VIDEO GAMES mentioned so far are very much enjoyble to me, I am really looking forward to HALO: REACH (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/buyNow/h/haloreach/).  I cannot wait to experience the fateful moments that forged the Halo legend. This is the story of Noble Team, a squad of heroic Spartan soldiers, and their final stand on planet Reach, humanity’s last line of defense between the terrifying Covenant and Earth. This darker story is echoed by grittier visuals amid a backdrop of massive, awe-inspiring environments. Characters, enemies, and environments are rendered in amazing detail by an all-new engine designed to deliver epic-scale encounters against the cunning and ruthless Covenant.

Plus, here's a hop tip: Pick up your copy of Halo: Reach on Launch Day to gain access to an exclusive, downloadable Spartan Recon helmet! You will receive a token to unlock the exclusive MJOLNIR Mark VI Spartan Recon helmet variant, developed for high priority reconnaissance missions, when you grab the game on Launch Day.

I cannot wait for Reach either, as I implied earleir in this thread. Halo games have always been my favorite. The Call of Duty franshise is a joke compared to the Halo series. Thank you Bungie for making the best games on the market. Hopefully, you MW2 tards will switch to Reach when it comes out. Black Ops is going to be terrible.

That's the problem. Halo takes a lot of skill to be good at, unlike any CoD game ever made. So, when people first start playing, they get owned and call it quits after one or two games because they suck. If you give it a chance and get better, then it's a lot more enjoyable.

No.  The problem is that Halo sucks.  The only n00bs that like it are n00bs that have never played a real FPS and get owned when they to play one.  So the n00bs tuck their tails between their legs and go back to LOL HALO.  And they play it forever.

MW, MW2 and Halo all have aim assist. Halo is much much much worse (more noticable) than the Call of Duty games, though.

I played the first a ton. The second much less so. The 3rd was awful. I have played enough of the series to know it's not a very good game. Single player has its moments, but the multiplayer suuuuucks. The network code for it is atrocious. 4 v 4 always produces noticeable lag. Every COD game can handle 16 people no problem.

That's the problem. Halo takes a lot of skill to be good at, unlike any CoD game ever made. So, when people first start playing, they get owned and call it quits after one or two games because they suck. If you give it a chance and get better, then it's a lot more enjoyable.
LOL.  Halo has aim assist.  
You said that about CoD MW too, and it doesn't.  I can't speak for Halo, I don't remember.

MW, MW2 and Halo all have aim assist. Halo is much much much worse (more noticable) than the Call of Duty games, though.
LOL, I did not know that.  .

Very true, console games have to have aim assist but Halo is much more noticeable.  Halo is just a garbage FPS, it's like playing 007 on N64, the mechanics are just way too basic/stupid and it's built for your average 11 year old.

No - it's programmed in to the game.  All of them are.  The reticule has a slight "sticky" property to it.  Try and pay attention to that next time you play.

Always on. It's actually very slight in COD, and I believe it's only on when you're shooting from the hip. Not on when you aim down sights.

I played the first a ton. The second much less so. The 3rd was awful. I have played enough of the series to know it's not a very good game. Single player has its moments, but the multiplayer suuuuucks. The network code for it is atrocious. 4 v 4 always produces noticeable lag. Every COD game can handle 16 people no problem.



Is this a joke? I have experienced more lag in COD than I have in Halo 3, and I've played Halo a lot more. Even my friends who play a ton of COD will admit that MW2 is more  laggy, and they all have good internet connection.

You and your hillbilly friends have crappy connections then. This is common knowledge. Halo has notoriously horrible net code. Host advantage is ridiculous. why do you think people went bat crap crazy for host boxes in Halo 2? Because of the enormous advantage it gave them. Don't get so defensive.

Besides, nothing is nearly as bad as Gears of War host advantage.

Yeah, WaW was a real bad port compared to mw... all those crappy dedicated servers and that zombie mod they ripped off from modernwarfare...  Hint: if you draw comparisons between MW and WaW by drawing parallels to games that came out nearly 10 years ago; then just MAYBE you're not in the "know".  :jerk:

WaW is a bad port of CoD MW like Enemy Territory was to RTCW

Yeah, WaW was a real bad port compared to mw... all those crappy dedicated servers and that zombie mod they ripped off from modernwarfare...  Hint: if you draw comparisons between MW and WaW by drawing parallels to games that came out nearly 10 years ago; then just MAYBE you're not in the "know".  :jerk:
 

I think he's just saying that both were bad ports.

Black Ops has been ruined as well.  It has dedicated servers...but Activision has monopolized them with a crap provider.  Bobby Kotick is the new biggest douche in the universe.

You can also get them in KC at JoCo Library's for free.  Somewhat limited selection but carry most the popular games.  Rent online and go pick up for 2-3 weeks at a time and can just go back and re-check them out.

This is about right.  First one was really great/cutting edge and stuff.  Then they went all madden on the series, making it basically the same but tossing in a couple new features.  Won't stay ahead doing that.

They will sell the crap of games that way.  If you keep the core game the same, and add in a few worthless features every year it will sell a ton.

Yeah, that has proven to be true.  But the non fanboys won't buy the POS game.  I haven't bought madden for two years now after getting fed up with that POS game.  I played Halo on my friend's XBOX, then I bought Halo 2 when it came out.  Didn't buy Halo 3, won't be buying any more Halos.

Just played 5 games of Reach MP. Got spawn killed 37 times. OMG BEST GAME EVER!!!!
Your garbage. Go play final fantasty.

It's "you're" you moron, and Final Fantasy sucks. Go play NCAA 2004 and stalk people on facebook.


Just played 5 games of Reach MP. Got spawn killed 37 times. OMG BEST GAME EVER!!!!

That's why a lot of people don't like Halo games. It takes skill to be good at Halo. COD games take no skill at all. People play a few games of Halo and then they quit because they get dominated. Play some campaign.

How does horrible spawns equate to needing skill to succeed? I have plenty of skill at Halo. I bet my Halo 3 stats are as good or better than yours. Quit making excuses for an over rated multiplayer experience. This is why we call you a fanboy loser. This is why nobody likes you.

Ranked K/D Ratio: 1.33
Kills: 26534
Deaths: 19930
Games: 2132

But yeah, lets tell the guy with over 4300 total games in the predecessor to Reach that you just need to give it a try and you really do need skill to enjoy it.

Lol at arguing what game takes more "skill" - Halo or COD...answer is neither.  COD devs completely ruined the game after the original PC release to make it more suitable for shitty console players.

Didn't care much for Reach beta. Think Halo 3 is more fun, don't plan on buying anything else Bungie unless it's not Halo-related. Microsoft has milked that cow dry, but probably won't rest until they get a few more shitty titles out of it.

Anybody play WoW? Cataclysm is just around the corner  :gocho:

Unlocked. Ready to play. Even started it up so it could do it's initial dx11 configuration and whatnot, but, haven't played it.

I'll be playing all night tonight - will have a report later tonight or tomorrow.  So far it's getting a 92 on Metacritic.  Starcraft 2 got a 93 total.

Every review I've read said that it is a total reinvention of the game, but it's still familiar and amazing. One place said if you described in depth, the game to a really really talented developer who had never played it, Civ V is what they would produce. Everything is familiar, but new and refreshed. Sounds exciting.

I'll be playing all night tonight - will have a report later tonight or tomorrow.  So far it's getting a 92 on Metacritic.  Starcraft 2 got a 93 total.
So far: Wow.

The interface is so, so much cleaner and less cluttered than previous games. I've used the mouse the entire time even though I was so used to using the keyboard.  I also like the notifications on the right side, and the way everything is presented.  Graphics are beautiful.

Gold plays a much more pivotal role.  You have to buy tiles to expand your borders, rather than normal growth via culture.

No more religion. Everything is done via "Social Policy" - which is kind of like the tech tree, you adopt certain policies which restrict you from adopting others, and you have prerequisites for others.

Combat - love it.  No more stacking units.  If a unit requires a special resource, you can only build one of those units if you only have one of that resource.  Once you discover optics your units can "embark" - move on water!? WTF?  They are useless in water though, so you have to be careful.  It seems they are doing this to get rid of transport units...which I like. 

Luxury resources - only 1 benefits you. Any others past that, you should just trade them.

City states - kind of annoying so far, but somewhat beneficial.

Haven't gotten in to diplomacy much yet, only have 1 bordering civilization, and he's behaved.

Currently in the Medieval era (Ancient, Classical, Medieval), so i'll have more to report later.

Honestly been thinking about getting an NES and a crapload of games. Vintage stock ftw.  Emulators are nice, but doesn't give me the "full experience" w/ the NES controller, pushing cartridge in, etc.

funny you say that.  when we started listing out old NES games a couple weeks ago i shopped around for one and some games, they're pretty available via Ebay, etc.  make sure and get one with a clean 27 pin connector.  but then i was thinking i don't want to soak $100 (w/ games) into one and you mentioned you were using an emulator so i figured i'd try that route.  started reading about them last night and downloaded one but i've never used them and am not familar with how to set it up.
Title: Re: Video games master thread (NBA ELITE 11 DEMO, LOL!!!!)
Post by: Saulbadguy on October 08, 2010, 10:52:19 AM
The 72 pin connector got dirty but it's main flaw was the way it suspended the games and eventually it would bend, causing all the blinking red light problems and whatnot.  Best bet is to get the top loading NES, it had the same 72 pin connector but it never bent like that, so you would not have any problems.

As far as emulators go, no idea about the OSX thing but i'm sure one is available.  You have to download the emulator and then the ROMS for the emulator.  ROMS=Games. 

Just look up "NES ROM torrent" or w/e on Demonoid and there should be megaPAKS of roms.

Another thing w/ emulators, they are nice b/c you can "save state", meaning save the game at any point in time, like right before you crash your battletoad speeder in to a rough ridin' wall, and reload it to play it. No more restarting the level.

You can also load game genie codes in to them.

When you said you were looking for the "full experience" of the NES, I took that to mean putting it in and pushing it down.  For me, that's the ONLY way to go.

I'm not familiar with how the ROMS work and what folder to put them in, how to load them, etc.  I figured I'd go the emulator route until I can make it by a pawn shop to pick up the actual NES HW.  My guess is I can get one from a pawn shop cheaper than Vintage Stock or Ebay.

Craigslist would probably be a good resource too.  Or garage sales.

Roms are easy.  Download nestopia, download a ROM, file > open rom > play game or w/e

Got the red ring of death on my xbox 360 a few months ago.  I wasn't going to spend the $$$ to get it fixed/buy a new one, so I put it up. 

Yesterday, in a moment of boredom, I went to xbox's website and found out that there was some sort of lawsuit, and they have to fix the red ring of death problem for free. 

Not really important, but I'm pretty excited about it.

yeah, you either love or hate it. it takes quite a bit of time to get into it and i think that turned a lot of people off to it. have you tried borderlands? its basically a more light hearted version of fo but it's action packed from the beginning and has a bad ass co-op multiplayer.

Which do you guys think will be better?  PS Move, or Kinect?  I thought the KINECT would be cooler since you don't have to use a controller, but I saw a demo video of it, and it looked like it wasn't nearly as responsive.  PS Move looks like a more accurate version of the wiimote.

Normally, a Civ release warranted an entire day off of work so I could pick up my pre-sale copy and nerd out.

This time, I wasn't even aware it dropped until I saw it on the shelf at Target.

Civ 4 is the only game I have loaded on my laptop, so if I don't get Civ 5, I'm basically done gaming.

Just traded in a bunch of old cds and some cruddier games to Vintage Stock the other day for credit. Today they are having a buy 2 get 1 on used games. I went to one store and picked up for my ps3: The Saboteur, The Simpsons Game, and Fallout 3 for bout 33 bucks total. Now I've got bout 45 left of store credit and am heading to the other store. If they have them at a good price I'll go for Assassin's Creed 2, Infamous, Mirrors Edge. However, Red Dead is an option if I decide to F it and just get something tight.

I have it.  The graphics and sound are very good, but the online game play isn't as good as COD.  Not as many weapon options, you can't lie down, very limited "extras" and perks. 

I am picking up COD today on the way home, and will probably not play Medal of Honor again for a month or so.

I have only played online, haven't played the single player yet.  The money thing to buy perks and upgrades is kinda fun.  However, last night they had horrible connection quality, but imagine that they were slammed.  My game kept trying to start and it would kick the entire group back out the lobby...over and over....

Most popular new games have this issue. Going from 15 people to 3 million overnight jacks with some things.

M16 with ACOG and silencer is money. The graphics aren't anything to write home about, but super lame? I can think of alot worse. It's still a buttery smooth 60 frames per second. I'd take that every day over slightly better graphics and stutter.

Played Black Ops MP a bit more. Some thoughts-

Textures a bit a muddy in some places, but it's not that bad.

The biggest downfall compared to Mw2 are the sounds. The sounds of guns and explosions are much softer and not in your face. The ambient sounds made MW2 amazing with surround sound. It's just not as good in BO.

BO does a lot of small things right. Little tweaks make is a lot more enjoyable. Some examples- when playing a game with designations, like a big red "DEFEND A" over the search and destroy site, those tags actually fade out when you look at them so they don't obscure your vision. When making classes, you can actually copy classes so you can just modify an existing class instead of having to go off the default. And the obvious, you can back out and take the party with you.

The gun modifications are rough ridin' bad ass. My Famas looks amazzzzzzzzzzzing.

Finally, I really miss Hardcore Moshpit.

Haven't heard much about joe danger.  Really haven't been able to play many games the last few weeks :(   Looking forward to having time to play DK Country Returns, hoping Steam puts Dragon Age: Awakening on sale before DA2 comes out in March.

Heavy Rain was awesome. I'm hoping for a Move too to replay it but I'm highly doubting I get anything over socks and underwear from the family this year.

I'm still on the fence about buying Joe Danger. The demo is fun and the ratings are sky high, so it's likely just a matter of time. I did have people over the other night and I bought the 3 pack of Price is Right, Press your Luck, and Family Feud which seemed to be quite the hit with everyone so that was good for having other people over.

Bought and beat "Braid" which was an interesting game and I am guessing NBA Jam is likely next.

The first one was so irritating at times that I wanted to throw my controller through my TV. I found out I pretty much have OCD in trying to collect every single item that I couldn't really enjoy the gameplay (though the gameplay wasn't the best).

That said, I played the demo yesterday and I think that the new game will be a lot more fun and it seemed more "fluid" if that makes sense in terms of sackboy reacting to my controls. I'm excited to play through it.

Only played the first couple of levels.  Seems more polished than the first, multiplayer is front and center and works really well.  It has kind of a facebook style to it, where you have a profile showing all you've done, and you have a friends online list in game which I like.

The problem, of course, is that those of us who grew up on Duke Nukem have no interest in it anymore. 



I bought Black Ops yesterday.  Pretty good so far.  Haven't played the campaign, just some team deathmatch.  Hate the dogs.

I can seriously snipe well in any map. Array, Cracked, Havana, WMD, Jungle, all are pretty good sniping maps. If I'm not sniping, I roll with an M16 ACOG or an AK74u with grip and rapid fire.

I feel the development cost too much to justify the lackluster sales.  Honestly the games weren't all that good, and developers have to work year round to pump out a new version every year. 

Plus no one outside of Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky really care about college basketball that much.

Just got Little Big Planet 2 and Gran Turismo 5.  Huge thumbs up to both games, very fun.  I didn't play either of the predecessors, though.  The cars handle more like race cars than passenger cars in GT5 from what I understand.  Just wish I had the wheel now. 

LBP2 is cool--just in the learning mode.  I get tired of shooting games so it's a nice change up.  I still need to go back and finish Uncharted 2 and Bioshock.  Guess I'm pretty well set for the year on games. 

I would love a college hoops game, but they always get terrible reviews.  The 2K NBA game is supposed to be good but I can't do NBA.  Maybe I'll go back and get 2k8.

Does anyone have the PS3 Move yet?  Thinkin' about making the purchase.

I own it. The girl really likes Start the Party the game that came with it. It's pretty fun. LBP2 has a compatible side world you can use with the move which was pretty fun.

I think Playstation Heroes as well as Sorcery (if it ever freaking releases) will be the two main Move games to have a great time with front to back.

Yeah, the launch titles kinda suck for this one.  Nintendo seems to do that every other console launch...reminds me of Gamecube.

Yes, NGP will be outstanding.

Yeah, I could see Sony wanting to put a new one out before Microsoft does.  The XBOX360 Slims are selling really well right now, there is really no reason for them to put something out very soon.  Also, the price points are still two high on the PS3 and the 360 that if they put out something new it would have to cost something like $600.00 for the base model.

Honestly they should both just make a console that only plays Call of Duty games and market it, it would make a ton of money.

No Sony or MS console this year. Wii2 maybe by holidays this year. Most likely after.

Next Gen consoles are going to be a tough sell. Graphics won't be a major jump. There aren't many new features that they can add. Thats why Sony and MS are waiting. They're obviously being developed right now, but release won't come for a couple years.

User reviews on metacritic are bombing it for being too short. Portal was incredibly short, but it came in the Orange Box. Portal 2 is a standalone. I don't think it will be worth $60.

I'd say you should play the first 2, otherwise the 3rd won't make much sense.

The ME1 DLC is pretty much worthless. Once you get rolling on ME2 you won't give a hoot about ME1.  Pick up all of the DLC sans appearance/weapon packs for ME2 to add quite a bit to the game, most specifically Overlord (eh), Stolen Memory, and Lair of the Shadow broker.

I'm in this exact same position. I think Brotherhood furthers the story so at least before the next one I'll have to play it.

Those titles tend to drop in price pretty good though so I'd expect Brotherhood to drop soon from where its at.

Also, pre-ordered LA Noire a while back. I'm ready for a week of being "sick".

Pretty much my thoughts. It should be interesting. Also, the map size has been confirmed. 8 square miles with no highways. We'll see what it's like to drive from one place to another. RDR amazingly held my attention when going horse back across mexico. I'm sure LA Noire will be able to.

the CoD died when west and zampella left infinity ward.  i don't blame activision for continuing to rape kids wallets as they release subpar reincarnations of MW but i'm done giving my money to the franchise.

crossing my fingers that Respawn can get a quality game out in spring 2012.

Battlefield 3 looks fantastic.  Hopefully that will be able to live up to the hype.

I remember playing the online multiplayer demo of Battlefield 2 a lot in like 2006 or something.  That was pretty sweet.

(At least I think it was Battlefield 2.)

Yeah, I've only played it for an hour or so.  So far it seems like it is
1.)  Clear town of zombies.
2.)  Kill a few more zombies.
3.)  Head to next town, kill zombies on the way.
4.)  Arrive at town.
Repeat.

I had 360 from like 06-08, then sold it on craigslist and bought my PS3, then I just bought the slim about a month ago.  Didn't transfer anything from my old harddrive (obviously), but I could still download the stuff I previously paid for (obviously).

Yeah, he's probably a fat slob, too.

Aren't all programers?

Dammit kitten_mittons, I was perfectly happy not knowing there was a free PSX emulator for my Epic floating around out there, and now I'm tempted to hide in the bathroom at work all day, playing Suikoden. :angry:

For the android OS, yes. Hell, there was one for the old Windows Mobile OS. Most games ran just fine, surprisingly.

Welcome to a couple years ago.

I can't imagine psx emulators running well at all on Android devices pre-GHz processors.

The PS1's CPU was 34 Mhz. Not a problem on most 800mhz android CPU's. I've never used them on less.

It's pretty nice to have, actually.  I don't know how the game you are playing is played, but for games that you have to move quickly it sucks when your finger loses the right key.

I think it's alright.  I mean, I knew what I was getting.  Seems like all the people out there that hate the crap out of it had no idea what it was when they bought it.  They seem to be pissed that a guy who is supposed to be a good cop can't just unholster his gun and fire away at innocent pedestrians.  I think it's pretty interesting and has a good premise, but the 1 thing I really am not a fan of is the fact that no matter what you do or how bad you are at investigating this stuff, you'll always figure out who did it and you'll always have to try and chase them down.

currently have the '08 cannondale 29er F2 (aluminum frame)

both are XC hardtails but i wanted to try the carbon frame/fork to see how it absorbed pounding more than the aluminum frame, + it would have been nice to drop ~10lbs off my bike's weight

It's probably the best place to rent from.  If they don't have a rental available, they open up a new copy and let you rent it.  if you decide to buy it, they take your rental charge off the retail price so you don't waste your rental money if you end up buying it.  I'm pretty sure they've got a 30 day money back guarantee on all their stuff as well, so it's also a good place to buy used stuff.

Madden kept putting out good games up until like 2006.  Then it was all the same. 

I haven't bought madden since '08.  I'll just play it at my friend's houses until they put one out that is actually good.  Wonder if they'll always have the NFLPA rights, or if it'll be open competition ever again?

I've collected some, not many.  Seems unsavory to just go jack peoples cars like that when i'm a cop.  I used the partner drive feature when I was in the middle of the first case, wanted to solve it without waiting too much.

It will probably be better than the 360 and PS3 and worse than the next gen systems. The controller looks awkward but the touch screen will be very nice.

not sure.  I think 12 or something.  Be sure to use your intuition points, at least so you aren't at 5.  If you have 5, and you rank up, they won't give you another one..the max is 5.

I don't understand how anyone could have expected DNF to be anything other than bad. In its 13 years of development the game has probably been re-written 6 different times by 3-4 different studios, each with a different graphics engine.  The released product is nothing more than the realization that if the game doesn't get released now it probably never would, so they put enough bandages on the crap that 3d realms had already done and called it a day.

I hate when people quit on me. Sometimes if I go up 2, I stop trying to score so much just because if I go up by 3, I know the other dude is going to quit. Usually, FIFA gives me a pretty even match, though.

I'm at 30/40 complete, do they all unlock now or something?

you don't have to get all  of the street crimes done but what happens is that the arson cases all take place in a small section of the map and they begin to bleed together.  you'll end up finishing the game without completing the street crimes so you won't complete the game at the highest rank you can.  the street crimes are great for loading up on xp and leveling up.

if you don't care about rank then just hit the cases. interrogation gets pretty tough but you don't really need to get the answers right anyways.

I only have a couple cases left. I think they only revolutionary thing is the facial animation. That was spectacular. Besides that, it was pretty standard. I liked the linear take on a Rockstar sandbox. It made me care less about the city and the people in it though. In Red Dead, I loved riding through the desert, stopping robberies and gathering flowers and furs.

Ya that one was kinda annoying, just had to wait until you were standing on the platform and boom, one shot.

weird, me too.  i kinda suck at this game, though.  started out 0-6, but now i'm 2-6.  the running back for north texas is decent but he gets injured every game.

I changed my schedule for cupcakes instead of good teams.  I mean, I don't get the hundreds of thousands they are paying me for a loss, so why in the world would I play them?  I beat FIU 17-13, then I lost to Army 21-0 :(, then I beat Akron (or someone like that) 17-10 in OT.

DC for Pitt to start out on Dynasty. Planning on using it as a springboard to a HC at a smaller school and then HC at larger school.

RTG is pretty freaking sweet. I'm a LE, you play your full High School senior season and actually have to earn your scholarship offers by earning points during games.

You pick your first three schools you are interested in and then as you go they give you choices from 3 different schools, that have gained interest in you, to add to your list.

I'll be waiting to do this until after they come out with rosters (should only be a day or so until they've got the good ones out) so I can play with this year's K-State team with their names and all that.

I started as OC for Nevada.  After two successful seasons got the head coaching job at Cal.  Scheduled a game at KSU and beat them 27-7.  Hoping they call me to come home, but thinking Cal is a better job.

Brucie sends you emails about the vehicles that he wants. I don't remember how many there are, but after you complete the vehicles Brucie emails you about, there are no more vehicles that you can take to Brucie.

After completing the both Brucie's No.1 and Derrick McReary's Smackdown missions, Brucie will let you know that Stevie is interested in having you do some work for him. Stevie will then text you with the description and location of a vehicle he wants. After stealing and delivering the vehicle stated in the text message, he will send another message about a different vehicle he wants. All of Stevie's vehicles are to be delivered to the Garage icon in Bohan, just east of the save house you have there. After you have delivered all 30 vehicles for Stevie, you can take any vehicle you find to that garage and sell it. (not sure if you can sell police vehicles or not.)

Also note that Stevie will always wait 6 in game hours after the previous vehicle has been delivered to notify you of the next one.

the defensive adjustments are tough.  However I am pretty good at tactical buildup and laying off on D.  The problem is I always dive and if the other team possesses near my box I'm just completely screwed.  It also seems harder to score.  My finishing is one of the weakest parts of my game so this seems like a problem.  I already average about 55%+ possession so I think my possession advantage will be overwhelming most games, so this should suit me.

holy crap - played the demo a week or so ago, thought "hmm, well the d changed but i think i like this".  played tonight, was like "man, they really emphasize containment.  i'm gonna have to be a patient son of a bitch."  figured i'd get the ropes of that eventually, and spent most of my time being pissed off that i didn't seem to be able to develop much in the final third. played solid possession through the midfield, couldn't create opportunities in front of goal.

well, long story short, i finally "remembered" (stopped being a dumbass) and realized that they changed the tackle button from fifa 10.   :D

i still can't finish, but buildup is getting better.

being a ticker is great.  i played through all 14 levels (or maybe it was 12 levels).  the goal is that it's timed.  so alone it would suck.  as you advance you get more cash for the kills you get.  then you can purchase better beasts. 

anyway- you get through it and it records your time and measures your best time against your friends.  the bots are pretty good.

The new FIFA is great. I really like the tactical defending, but the best change they have made is that they give you the win now when some punk drops out of the game because you score too much.

They have been doing that on 11 too.  Been very satisfying.

Ever since I got my 360 I have problems matching up with friends when they try and join my party or a game I'm in.  Says something about my NAT type not being open.  I reset my router and that did not help.  That is the extent of my knowledge on how to fix it.  I have no problems joining friends' games on my PS3.
Does it say Moderate for NAT type?

You can open up port 88, 3074 and that should do the trick
Okay, it looks like there is a lot off stuff on the screen that I don't know how to fill out.  How do I do this?

Fallout 3?

And Fallout: NV was pretty awesome.  I tried Fallout 3 and didn't really "get it."  But had a friend talk me into getting NV when it came out.  It was pretty awesome.  Skyrim should be good.  yes too many good games coming out.

And I have mixed feelings on the Battlefield 3 Beta.  I think I just need to play it more to decide if I like it a lot or not.

i don't think i've had a game frustrate me more since mike tyson's punch out.  always played '10 on legendary w/ manual controls (i've never played online).  i pulled it all the way back to pro mode so i could just dominate that and step back up, and have a whopping 15 points in 14 matches (8 goals) with sporting kc.  :frown:

i at least feel like i'm getting better defensively, but man, i can't create chances for crap.  back to the grind i guess.

The chances come with possession.  The defense is still absurdly hard once the other team gets possession with people pushed up.  Counter-attacking and through balls also lead to more 1 on 1's but finishing is harder.

all good advice.  want to know something funny?  i guess my style just doesn't jive with kc's default formation - switched to more of a custom 4-4-2 setup that i always used with tottenham and am getting along much better now.  still doesn't change the fact that i apparently suck too much to adapt to a different formation, but at least solves some of the mystery.

Played a ton of BF3 last night. Love sniping. Everything else ok. Attachments for guns is great. Problem is how many glitches there are. The release day patch is going to be massive, hopefully. It's unbearable.

Also, the fact you can go into a match with only 4 people in your party, and still get split up in game is incredibly frustrating.

Yeah, I mostly use the sniper because the other guns with no attachments suck so hard and you can't shoot anything.  I've been trying to use them, but you almost have to be right up on someone to be able to shoot them.

The problem is you are playing an FPS on a console.  Not smart.

Also, Operation Metro is a crap map, and Rush is not a traditional Battlefield game mode, so I have no idea why they chose that combo for the beta. Conquest on Caspian Border was fantastic while it lasted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QolujkE94p0

Same here, I didn't really like the way it played.  I've never played any of the uncharted games, and I don't see me really getting into that series.  Skyrim and MW:3 will tide me over this winter.

saul no skyrim?  wow.

iirc saul boycotts non-japanese RPGs
I've tried Bethesda RPG's. Boring as crap. When non-nerds love an RPG you know it sucks.

But, I do enjoy Bioware games.
Fallout games are pretty fun, I thought.   :dunno:

Also, what are your thoughts on FFVII?  I think I remember the Japanese not liking it too much because it was made too easy so Americans could finish it.  Do you agree with the Japanese here?  Are you Japanese?  Jewpanese?
They made it slightly easier.
But did you love it?  Because I did/do.
Yes, of course! One of the best RPG's of all time, IMO.

Just because you have to walk miles before you see an enemy in BF3 doesn't mean it's miles ahead.

I'm not saying that BF3 isn't a good game.  Just saying that the beta really turned me off to it.  I hope Skyrim can live up to my expectations as well.  I wouldn't be worried about the Fallout graphics in comparison to this game.  Fallout games graphics don't look that great mainly because they make the game look gritty to make you feel like you are post-apocalypse.  Nothing should look too clean in that game.  Oblivion looked really nice when it came out.

If you haven't played those, Skyrim may seem quite complicated.

Deception. I played it for about 30 min last night. And by played, I mean watched 20 minutes of cut scenes and then shot some bad guys/hung off cliffs.

Metal Gear Solid 4 has 10 times as many cut scenes

that's crazy,  i'm a couple hours into and haven't watched 20 mins of cut scenes yet.  i wonder if you got a pirated, non-official version.

This is probably what happened. The nephew is a little sketchy. Also, am enjoying the game.

I think they make transfer cables that allow you to move crap from one HD to the internal one on the new xboxes :dunno:

Ouch. I also lost in the continental cup finals over the weekend. That wasn't as bad as a couple weeks ago when I was in my final Division 7 game, needing only a tie to advance, when some bad person drove his truck through a power pole a couple of blocks from my house 10 minutes into my still scoreless game. An hour and a half later, the power was back on, and I was given the loss for quitting. :angry:

I got ACR. If you like the AC games, you'll like it. Almost like an expansion pack though, with a weird kind of annoying tower defense mini-game thrown in. I liked it.

Got a free game this week from a nerdy coworker I really don't want to be friends with. Dark Souls or something. He assured me it is 1) the hardest game available and 2) the most organically interactive, with other players able to randomly encounter you and challenge you to duels or some crap. Both points were like the worst possible thing you could have told me.

The only way to really pause is to clear out the enemies in the area and find a safe spot to stand around in. Even then, if you are human, you could (will) get invaded by a black phantom and get killed.

Did you make it out of the first level at all? (Undead Asylum) The first boss is pretty tough.

Having troubles?

Was not prepared for this. I suppose I'm squarely in the noob "why can't I pause?" crowd.
The only way to really pause is to clear out the enemies in the area and find a safe spot to stand around in. Even then, if you are human, you could (will) get invaded by a black phantom and get killed.

Did you make it out of the first level at all? (Undead Asylum) The first boss is pretty tough.

Ha. No. I thought I'd just play around on it for 15-20 minutes before going to dinner. I got sky-stomped or whatever several times while running around crushing pots all Zelda-style. Then I tried to pause to look it up.  :blindfold:
Yeah, gotta keep your distance, roll out of the way and whatnot. Try running around behind him and attacking.

I've found flying or driving vehicles is way easier if you do it from the third person view by pressing right thumbstick.

yeah, i started doing that.  i spend all of my time flying a jet or helicopter worrying about not crashing and i can never shoot anybody.

I saw Manbeck at halftime and told him to be ready for some crap being yelled about sucking at Temple Run.  He had no idea that 63K was nothing.  He thought that was a good score and had refrained from tweeting prior scores until he could get to that elite 60K+.  I had to tell him that Doc and Jet are getting like 3m.

I then yellled "COLE MANBECK SUCKS AT TEMPLE RUN" at the first quiet dead ball of the 2nd half, which he loved.

I wonder what it means by "Star Wars themed pop tunes". Do you think they will just take popular songs and replace some of the lyrics with Star Wars themes, or do you think they will write original Star Wars pop songs for the dance off?

Either way,

Yeah those were great.  Question.  When I was growing up, probably like 8 or something, I played SC2000 at my friend's house.  Anyways he told me that if you built enough of those things, eventually they all shoot off into space and you "win."  I've always pretty much believed him, but never saw it happen.

Pretty bad.

Finished it last weekend. I don't disagree with this. I don't even mind the catalyst story. Whatever. It's the lack of thought and polish that went into it. For such a thoughtful and intensive game, they just said eff it and threw something up there. Plot holes galore. But at least hint to what the catalyst is. Set it up a little.

Outside of that, it's a very good game.

Diablo 3.

I have a level 60 barbarian, cleared Act 1 Inferno but Act 2 is way too rough ridin' hard. 4 or 5 hits i'm rough ridin' dead. The only way to get gear that is good enough for act 2 is to farm Act 1 over and over again and maybe get something better (doubtful) or get enough gold to buy something. Or spend real $$$ which I can't justify at this point. Good thing they will be nerfing act 2 here in the next patch (1.03) so I can actually play again.

Post by: 8manpick on June 20, 2012, 05:00:36 PM
Can't wait til you all lose your progress

Quote from: IGN
I was never a big fan of Nimblebit’s Tiny Tower. Despite its immense popularity and critical praise (even Apple got in on the act, awarding the game its Game of the Year Award), I felt the title hardly qualified as a “video game” at all. The whole thing was a little too lightweight and casual for my taste.

Still, I’m nothing if not open-minded. So last week I eagerly downloaded Pocket Planes, Tiny Tower's spiritual sequel. It was love at first flight. Pocket Planes immediately seized me and wouldn’t let go. All of last week and into the weekend I checked in on my burgeoning airline empire constantly. On my way to work. In the middle of meals, podcasts, conversations… virtually any opportunity to steal away a few moments. I was addicted.

Until the game deleted all my progress and forced me to start over.

Sunday night was progressing much like other recent evenings. I was watching Netflix and checking in on my Pocket Planes fleet every 20 minutes or so. But then, out of the blue, I fired up the game only to be greeted by the tutorial dialogue:

I killed the app and re-started it, only to encounter the same issue. My level 10 empire, built up over many hours, was lost.

This is disheartening enough when taken on its own. I was really enjoying Pocket Planes. My growing flight crew was about to expand from the Southwest United States into Mexico City and beyond. But more troubling than the loss of time is the potential loss of money.

Pocket Planes is a free-to-play game. I had banked over 60 “Bux,” the game’s premium currency, or about $3 worth. The loss of my progress also wiped out these holdings. I hadn’t spent any real money in Pocket Planes yet (Bux are also awarded through standard play), but it’s very concerning that Nimblebit’s lack of server stability could potentially erase someone’s $40 In-App-Purchase in the blink of an eye.

To the company’s credit, anyone that reaches out on its public customer support hub does seem to be having their account manually credited. But Pocket Planes, like Tiny Tower before it, appeals to a very broad audience. How many hundreds (thousands?) of gamers will download the game on a whim only to have it eat their progress and potentially their real-world money? Many of these gamers will likely not have enough internet know-how to visit the company’s feedback page and have their purchases restored. Anecdotally, the game’s GetSatisfaction hub is filled with page after page of lost progress.

Nimblebit developer Ian Marsh shed some light on this issue in a statement to IGN, while also reiterating that any affected player can have their progress manually restored by contacting Nimblebit customer support:

“…There have been a small number of users reporting issues with data loss since launch last week. There are limits to the size of beta testings we can run, and unfortunately there are issues that only become apparent when you have a million people playing your game. Luckily we rushed an update out (1.0.2) on Friday which fixes the worst offending bugs. If users haven't updated to 1.0.2 we highly recommend it. We're working on eliminating any other issues that pop up and will be submitting another update shortly,” Marsh told IGN via email.

“Anybody experiencing issues with Pocket Planes can contact our customer support at http://getsatisfaction.com/nimblebit where we will assist them as quickly as possible. Luckily the vast majority of players seem to be unaffected, but for those who are we make sure they are credited or receive refunds for any purchases that can't be recovered.”

In the interest of transparency, when my own progress was lost I had not updated the game to the most recent 1.0.2 patch.

Despite this show-stopping bug leaving a bad taste in my mouth, Pocket Planes is still an extremely impressive and progressive mobile game. Almost all modern freemium games revolve around allowing users to play freely just long enough to get them interested, then dropping the transaction hammer. Most modern social games revolve around building towns, farms or whatever other building concept Zynga is able to popularize with the mass market.

Nimblebit, in comparison, marches to the beat of its own drum. Pocket Planes is even looser with its premium currency than Tiny Tower, truly allowing dedicated gamers to play free forever. And although airline sims have been done before, the title also breaks new ground from a game design and game mechanic perspective. It’s compelling, casual and complex all in one addictive little package.

The severe bug I experienced aside, I have immense respect for Nimblebit zigging when virtually everyone else in the video game industry wants to zag. But I’m not sure if I have it in me to start my airline empire over from scratch, or jump through support hoops to get my progress back. The momentum has been broken. Still, if anyone hasn’t yet checked out the simple title, I am willing to recommend it wholeheartedly. As long as they start with the (hopefully) safe version 1.0.2, that is.

what does class 2 mean?

bigger planes, starting with the birchcrafts, are considered class 2 and can only fly into larger airports. i can't fly a class 2 into rome, for example. 
i pimped out my navigators to 190 mph and max distance and they can hop around europe quick.  they're my most efficient planes bring in roughly 1800-2000 coins per hour.

You can also exchange bux for coins, so I'm still unsure of what to use my moola on, planes or airports (or upgrades to either).

Just got to level 17.  It's going to be a long haul to get to 20 where the Fogbuster is available.  14 is Pearjet which, imo, is a better plan than the Aeroeagle you get at 16 which just has one more capacity, heavier, same range and much less speed.  Going to concentrate on pimping my Pearjets.  The bad thing is you can't really do transatlantics with pearjets without stopping off in the arctic or somewhere.  Fogbuster should be able to get NYC to London/Paris direct flights which is going to be dreamy.

Here's where I'm at.  Am I rough ridin' up how to get money/planes/airports or does this just develop slowly?

About 2/3 thru level 5.
34,733 coins
18 bux
Still my original 3 airports of Vegas, PHX and San Diego.
Still the original 1P, 1C, 2P & 2C planes, plus I bought a 2P1C plane which is helping a little.

I don't play it very often.  Every time I get a new level it tells me I'm now entitled to buy more stuff but I don't have enough $ to get LA, which seems like the logical thing to get.

Do NOT buy another airport that is under a 2, UNLESS you have to have a stop off point just to reach your bigger airport.

You need to spend your money two things, 2 more BIG airports (level 2 or above), AND two more plane slots (at least).  You are dealing with a bottle neck right now....not enough planes to make real money, AND not enough airports to service them. 

First priority should be to buy more airplane slots, second is to buy more Big airports.

Bought 2 slots and added the 2 planes you gave me parts for.

Also realized it helps to not do other stuff while planes are flying and grab the floating coins and bux.

So keep saving to get LA or eff around with Denver, SF, etc.?

At this point, buy the nearest level two airport (blue dot).  Then start to branch out, but still put a higher priority on getting plane slots than airports. 

Again, do NOT buy an airport under level 2, unless you need it as a stop over point.

Meanwhile, horde your bux and buy plane parts for badass planes, and "build" them as you get new slots.  In 2 or three levels from now, make sure you switch over to nothing but 3 seaters.

lower cost.  fuel gives you more range.  whatever the other one is makes you faster.  even after 3 upgrades it's only 20% in whichever category.

I can't wait for this game to come out for android, so I can be all  :excited: about it and you guys will be like  :jerk: "That game is so last season."  Then I can anticipate the next great iOS game to come to android well after it has run its course.

I think the key is to get 10 million pop airports as far from the next 10 million pop airport that your fleet can still reach.  I have about 7 birds that are landlocked on the US mainland but they just feed NYC from Chicago and LA and my big jets shuttle that stuff from NYC to London/Paris/Moscow.

Bummer.  It's for a starship (or at the least a starship part) which I imagine are worth something pretty solid.

Wish you could see the names of others in the flight crew leader board for your group.  Or to anyone that has friends in game center in goEMAW do they show up?

also, the global event prizes aren't that big of a deal.  you can get the starship by delivering "mystery parts" to the global event city and build a starship from them.  I got a helicopter from the global event in Boston or Philly or wherever.  I just got a starship engine and controls and have another mystery part enroute.  when the event is over we can all put our spare parts in a pool so hopefully everyone gets at least one starship.

I had zero airports in the western hemisphere, but I just opened one in LA and one in San Diego, and dusted off two class one planes.  Those two planes are now 100% dedicated to the shuttling back and forth between LA and SD for the Global Event.

All my other airports are class 3.

no, they suck.  I even upgraded all the weight to max.  I like looking at it and flying a long way but it appears to be primarily for show.  The Sea Knight I got from the Philly event is amazing though.  really short distance but holds 5 and is very efficient.  I just use it to shuttle people from Paris to London and back.

I'm moving away from the M planes. I always get screwed, 1 less of whatever I need. A good mixture of passenger/cargo planes in my fleet seems to be less frustrating.

yes, I abandoned M's awhile back too.

protip:  if you have LA and SD airports for this event, don't stop your airvans or whatever in SD.  just load them in LA and round trip them back to LA when you send them off.  that way they are ready to load again the next time you pick up your phone.  it only costs $30 to fly an airvan from SD to LA and you usually don't get much to bring back to LA anyway.

That is a great tip.  However, I have been loading new yorkers up in SD and hauling them back to LA, but my pipline is All of Asia/Africa > London > New York > LA > SD.  So, getting new yorkers in LA helps offset the cost of the return trip from LA to NYC.

I've been picking up whatever is in SD and taking it back to LA for my pearjets/equinoxes to distribute. Usually there is always something there unless i'm watching my phone at all times.

Also, the advertising seems to work the way we expected.  I went to SD, and started the advertising there, and now I have lots more people in LA trying to go to SD...every time new jobs pop up, I have several more than I did otherwise.  There seems to be more globally, but kinda hard to put an exact figure on it.  I think that this advertising thing is probably what all the top teams are doing.  I think it's a pro-move.

Moscow's my easternmost city.  A touch longer than NY-London is my longest range.  What further east cities should I get in?

My plan is to stash London layovers in as many places as possible for the olympics.

Apparently EA developers do not think very highly of Tyler Lockett. I think he's our 2nd worst, our slowest, and the 3rd worst kick returner of our WRs.

Was this done with attention to other schools as well, or was it done by a K-Stater that wasn't too concerned with anything other than the names for the other teams?  Just curious...I'll probably check it out when I get home tonight anyway.

i don't think it matters. :dunno:
yeah you die no matter what

yup, i was a little worried when i died but then i looked around and there was no way i was going to kill that entire posse, regardless of what happened.  i'm hoping we see a RDR2 soon.  maybe next spring but who knows, go cats.

Apparently EA developers do not think very highly of Tyler Lockett. I think he's our 2nd worst, our slowest, and the 3rd worst kick returner of our WRs.

I loved the original Rampage, the sequels (world tour, whatever else) were very disappointing.  Loved Gauntlet. Agree with you, multiplayer is key for all of those.

I had a Gauntlet 2 Arcade cabinet for awhile, one night we decided to try and beat it...didn't make it. Think we got to lvl 63 and got tired of it.

Yeah, I think so. I played it for an hour or so last night single player.

The co-op stuff is pretty well integrated...for instance if you were playing Single Player, anyone from your friends list could hop in at any time and it wouldn't disrupt your game.

Borderlands is like Diablo but with guns

bleh, diablo3 would be good if it didn't have a fixed camera and click to move.  i can't get over that.

played boarderlands 2 for a few hours tonight after experiencing some computer problems from it the last few days.  i'm hooked.

SAUL!!!  whenever i started bl2, my computer would just straight shut down after like 2 minutes (both cores were at 100percent so i don't blame it).  so i go into the bios at start up and there is a message saying my overclock values are invalid.  well, i've OC'd this processor for like 1.5-2 years and had no problems till now, so i reset all the values to default and now the game works fine.

what i'm asking is:  should i expect my cpu to just crap out at anytime now?  or do you think it's safe?  it's a 3.0ghz e8400 that's like at least 4years old at this point, so it's served me well.

oh ya, and i'm pretty terrible at games, but if you ever wanna do some co-op i'd do that  :peek:

Try upping your CPU voltage. Constant OC'ing of a CPU can hurt it in the long run, but it may just rely on higher voltages later in its life.

And sure...add me as a friend on Steam. My name is ...Saulbadguy.

I think it's a wash in most cases. You can build a very solid sub-$1k gaming PC that you can upgrade every few years. Not only does the PC do "other things" that a console can't do, you actually do save money on games (PC games are generally cheaper), as well as saving $40 a year on XBOX live.

But, PC has its drawbacks as well. Rarely do I get a PC game that works like it should the first day. Can't do "couch co-op" on PC's. It is expensive to upgrade...I can buy a console for the amount of money I drop on a video card.

How is Madden this year?  Worth a $49.99 years subscription to SI to get a copy?

Just bought Counter-Strike: GO for 360.  Big mistake?

Also, FIFA 13 soon.

They completely ruined CS with this game. They removed all recoil feedback from the guns (not important for console games since half of them use auto-aim, and can't be managed with a controller properly, but on PC (master gaming race) gun feedback is very important. And Valve ruined it.

You guys play on console, you wouldn't understand. But essentially, even though the guns themselves do have recoil (still fairly similar to the recoil in CS 1.6) when you actually shoot the gun it appears as if you are shooting an airsoft gun because you get no real response from the gun itself on screen or through the mouse.

It's an online league. You only play as one person though, and it's based off your created player or something. I've never done it.

The only real difference to me if the "first touch" thing they implemented. Basically, you no longer receive the ball perfectly and shittier players sometimes have it bounce off them like IRL.

I kind of like it, it's realistic.

There is a happy medium. Play the original Call of Duty (PC exclusive, I think it was eventually ported to 360???) and then play Call of Duty 2 and every other game in the series. They essentially removed all the recoil.

Quote

Tomorrow FIFA 13 is out and this heartwarming yearly tradition will continue. Jimmy’s dad will bring home a copy of FIFA 13 on the Wii, Jimmy’s love for his hardworking father will be clearly visible and a brand new gaming adventure will begin for Jimmy. Except this year it won’t.

Tomorrow what Jimmy sees will shock him. It will disgust him. It will leave a jaded expression on his face. On his hour-long breaks from the pit Jimmy’s dad will notice his son doesn’t have the zest for life he once did, and will ask him why. Jimmy won’t want to tell his dad, because he doesn’t want him to feel bad. But one night as Jimmy sleeps, his dad will sneak into his room for a cheeky game of FIFA, and he’ll see it for himself. And he’ll be livid.

The next day, Jimmy’s dad will spend his entire Christmas bonus on an envelope and a stamp. He will spit in the envelope, seal it and write “to EA” on it (not realising that isn’t enough detail to get it to its destination). What has he seen that made him so angry? Hop over to the next page to find out.

Pros:
1. If you like Gears of War and/or Halo you have to buy a 360 to play those
2. If you have alot of friends you want to play with and they all have 360s, then you have to have a 360

Cons:
1. Online play has a monthly fee (or yearly depending on how you pay it)
2. Graphics aren't as good
3. No Blu-Ray

Serious question (it's sad that I have to write that, but it's my own damn fault): is xbox 360 better than PS3?  I've only ever had/played a PS3.  Just curious if I should explore the xbox 360.  Any clear benies to owning one?

Pros:
1. If you like Gears of War and/or Halo you have to buy a 360 to play those
2. If you have alot of friends you want to play with and they all have 360s, then you have to have a 360

Cons:
1. Online play has a monthly fee (or yearly depending on how you pay it)
2. Graphics aren't as good
3. No Blu-Ray


could list others I guess, not worth the effort thou
Both have Netflix but only xbox has HBOgo and Amazon OnDemand.  PS3 only has a NFL Sunday ticket package for like $200.  It is about $50~60 a year for the xbox to acess Netflix, HBOgo and Amazon.

IMO, the HBOgo is the most valuable, all you need is a HBO subscribers account info and you have all the HBO movies for that month and all episodes of all HBO original shows (The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones, etc)

Human players take turns at the same time and you wait until the last human player takes their turn, then the computer players take their turn (like normal)

I've had to decide between assassin's creed 3, halo 4, and black ops 2. I chose black ops 2. Zombies mode was the deciding factor.

this was my deciding factor too

It's pretty good, but I didn't realize it was sort of "futuristic."  I hadn't ever done the pick it up at midnight thing, and had the day off today so I tried it. out.  I played for about 2.5 hours last night.

The Treyarch level up system and perks and stuff are always tough for me to get used to.  It took me about an hour or so just figure out what the hell it all was.

The killstreak extras are pretty diverse.  You basically have to use the cold blooded and invisible to airraid perks all the time or you'll get hammered in the big games. 

Demolition seems to be the fasted way to level up.  Going to spend time playing hard core today.

The maps are OK.  Most seem kinda small to me.  Maybe it's just because of the games I have been playing.

I haven't played the zombie yet.

What is your strategy when it comes to guns, guys?  Do you grab one and just level up like a mother rough rider with it, and THEN move on to another one, or do you mix it up?

I just leveled up on the first assault rifle, up until I got the silencer....just so I had a silencer to fall back on for Hardcore.  Now, I think I'll pick a sub machine gun to level up on.  Then, I'll get a sniper rifle leveled up. 

I enjoy playing hardcore more than anything else, so I like to have one of each option ready when I just want to do well and not be concerned about points and stuff.

Then, and only then will I start tinkering with other guns.


What are your theories on this?
Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: FP TC etc. on November 13, 2012, 06:45:28 PM
I normally pick a gun and stick with it.

It all comes down to personal taste. I hated MW3 and went back to playing black ops. the play of MW3 seems faster than black ops. then again, maybe I didn't play it enough to level up higher and get the better weapons.

Agreed, none of the shooters are half as fun if you don't know the people you are playing against. On the single person question, out of all the COD games I've owned, I think I played Single player once on one of them, only because my gold subscription ran out.

on that note, I bit the bullet and picked it up today. ksminisgod if anyone wants to play. I think i have a few members from here on my friend list.

I've never really been into getting the camo stuff on my favorite guns, but I am going to get cherry blossoms on my sniper rifle.  I passed the 250 one-shot-one-kill mark, now I have to do a bunch of other stuff to get the Chinese things.  It's probably going to be a big let down, but it's important to have goals.

COD Tranzits been a thorn in my side. Campaign is whatever, eventually ill get around to the online multiplayer gaming, but this zombie games a beast. Tough playing with guys who suck dick at zombies. Most times, I'm dead after round 10 when I've got the bus ready to go, but teammates become a pain in the ass when they get downed. Chicat, fix your game, bro. You are the heart and soul of the team. With me running the show, were rough ridin' hopeless.

Were you playing Hardcore (where a single shot can kill) or regular (where you have to shoot them loads of times to kill them)?

I prefer hardcore for two reasons, first it's called "hardcore" and I am a badass so that makes sense, and second it's actually easier to kill people.

Loving Dishonored right now...did not like ACIII as much as the others. The environment was boring to me and it's the same old boring counter, hit, counter, hit sort of fighting scheme. Really too easy to wins fights. I thought I would like it better. That's probably why I was disappointed. I actually thought it was amazing like the first couple hours I played it...but then it got boring real fast when I got to America.

I do recommend Max Payne 3, though. Pretty challenging gameplay (on hard and above) and good story line.

Agree with this. Especially if you're a "spray and pray" type player. Regular mode always seems like you unload an entire clip into a guy and then he kills you. Hardcore you either kill him,or he just kills you faster.

on a good run (+5M) i might use 1 or 2 just because i don't want to start all over again.

the learning curve on the new one isn't steep but there is an adjustment period.  i sucked at first but you can see my scores moving up pretty quickly based on the dates of my posts.

the first thing i did was max out my coin magnet thing and then my score multiplier and then my coin value.  now i'm fully maxed on everything but shield duration (it's stupid) and head start (it's stupid).

I've never been able to succeed with the huge expansion strategy in Civ5.  I rarely build more than four or five cities.  In Civ5 I'd rather have a handful of supercities than a bunch of pud cities, plus the game penalizes you for building a large empire with increased social policy costs.  Only way I've ever maintained sprawling empires in that game is by turning other civs into puppets.

It's not on steam, it is on EA's shitty clone called origin. Just go to the simcity website to buy it though, it's a really fast download.  Was like 20 minutes for me.

Log into a proxy in India and buy it for 1500 India dollars (about $30 American dollars) off of Origin's India store so EA gets less money

I haven't had a lot of time to play sim city yet but the time's I have I've gotten super frustrated with keeping my roads straight and spaced correctly. It makes those lines to follow and I do that but then somehow they are all bent at the other end of my city. I'm very anal about my city having optimal grids and using space correctly so this pisses me off like you wouldn't believe   :curse:

Here's the deal.

I generate nearly 200mw of excess power because I have a badass Nuclear plant.

You have a few pud Wind generators that do nothing but waste money and space.

You also have an excellent ground water table. I have ground pollution and empty aquifers.

ECONOMICS!!

When you are in your power menu or w/e you can choose to buy power from me. I don't have to respond, excess will go to you for a price.

It will probably run SC5 like crap, but SC4 runs poorly on a lot of computers that should be able to handle it perfectly.  It's an awesome game but poorly optimized.  There's a way to fix it by adding in something to fix the CPU count but I don't remember exactly, Google it.

made an electronics city last night, got up to 5 million a day trade profit from 4 consumer electronics factories, seems like that's the easiest specialization.

i've had no luck with gambling, but i've also read that tourists are bugged so you basically have to give them no other option but to go directly to your casinos.

traffic patch is supposed to be coming soon, where cars will find a different route when the road they want hits 50-75 percent capacity or something.  i tried something last night that instead stead of 4 way traffic grids, i staggered my blocks and only had 3 way stops at the end of each block, it helped traffic a bunch.

AoE II was one of the best video games of all time.  I wish there were more HD remakes of older classics that don't run smoothly on newer machines or can't use resolutions above 1024 by 768.

I love both but here are the key differences and similarities

Civ: Turn based, spans ancient history all the way to future era, the games are much more time consuming, there are many different ways to win
AoE: Real time, everything is in Medieval era (there is some progression: Dark Ages -> Feudal Ages -> Castle Ages -> Imperial Ages), killing everyone is pretty much the only way to win (at least in non-campaign missions), have to gather four different types of resources to have a strong economy, really cool campaigns that will teach you about history without feeling educational

Both games have a lot of different unique nations to play as, they both have diplomacy, they both have trade
Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: FP TC etc. on April 10, 2013, 11:12:52 PM
I have never played Civilization.

You can torrent the original version of AOE pretty easy and play a few games against the computer to see if you like it.

Also the HD version is only like $15 on steam so even if you don't like it it's not a big loss.

Yeah, I read that Sony brought in some highly respected game developer guy to help design the PS4 so all of the game developers wouldn't hate it so rough ridin' much like they did the PS3.  I would think that might mean they'll have more games for it and they'll be released faster/more frequently too.  There's a term for that, but I'll be damned if I can remember it.  I'm not really conversant in these things.

As a long time fan of the old SSX series I bought the newest SSX from the XBL store.  It's ok, but not great like the old ones.  I had SSX Tricky and SSX 3 on my PS2 that I got rid of years ago as I assumed they would continue making more awesome games like those.  Wrong.  Those games are now 8-10 years old and I would have to dig up a PS2 or Xbox to play them.  This pisses me off.  Whoever is reponsible for this I hate your guts, please make a new one (good one).  Like, say SSX Tricky 2 with original characters, soundtrack updated for 2013 (lots of indie dance stuff) and include snowboarding, supercross, skating and surfing all in one game.  Hint, the old T&C Wood and Water Rage game for NES.

tl;dr version:

ME1 and ME2 are both really fun if you're into sci-fi open world stuff.  ME3 was so so, ending to the trilogy is complete crap.  But I will say that ME3 has some absolutely brilliant things.  One of my top three video game moments of all time was in ME3 (genophage cure mission for those of you who've played it).

You can tell that from ME1 to ME2 and then ME2 to ME3 it gets overly simplified and watered down and there is less and less work put into the game, something known as the EA Effect.

I started downloading the Darksiders 2 ultimate bundle or whatever last night.  I liked the first one.  Gonna get after it this weekend a bit probably.  Last game I bought was Skyrim, so could be fun.  Will report back. 

I almost bought the Mass Effect trilogy bundle, but I just don't know enough about it to pull the trigger.

You should start with the first game.  Pretend it ends after the second one though.  ME1 and ME3 are good games but ME3 is really shitty and the trilogy has a horrible ending.

That depends entirely on what type of games you like.

well i don't know yet do i?

If you like spending longer periods of time on games with great stories and adventures, you can't do much better than Tomb Raider (2013 reboot), Skyrim (swords and dragons), Red Dead Redemption (Western), Mass Effect series (space), Bioshock series (underwater utopia), Fable series (hard to explain, XBOX only), Uncharted series (Playstation only), Gears of War (XBOX only).

If you can only spend short times of your day playing games and just need some instant gratification, go for Call of Duty Black Ops II (shooter, faster and arcade like with little 12 year old kids quickscoping), Battlefield 3 (shooter, slower and more strategy with vehicles), Tony Hawk series (skateboarding, duh), SSX series (snowboarding).  And most of the longer games I already listed have multiplayer features for quick short fun, Gears of War Horde mode on co-op is pretty fun with friends.

Sports games I don't really do, the last one I got was NCAA Football 2003 with Sproles and Roberson.  I hear all the Maddens and NBA ones are reall popular.   :dunno:

Strongly disagree.  I'd say that it's weaker than it was ~10 years ago, but not dead by a long shot.  There are genres that are much better on PC than on console (RTS and MMO come to mind), mouse + keyboard allows for a more complex play style and modding can make some games much better.  Modding has even spawned a couple newer genres that are primarily on PC (MOBA, tower defense).  There is also a much larger PC gaming library than console library because the majority of console games are ported to PC.

Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: Shacks on July 12, 2013, 01:44:05 PM
Anybody had a chance to try the new Civilization expansion yet?

Bought it earlier today when it was 33% off during a flash sale on Steam.  Shocked it was discounted at all since it just came out.  It's pretty fun.  The World Congress feature is very interesting.  You can really eff over other countries by banning certain resources or vice versa.  The social policy system was improved and there are more wonders, some of which can only be built if you follow certain policies.  For example, you have to unlock the freedom tree to build the Statue of Liberty.

Lots of new civs.  I've only had the chance to try Portugal and they were pretty good.  They can make a terrain improvement that you place in city state territory and it gives you access to all their luxury resources.  Doesn't matter what your relationship is like with that city state, you get the happiness bonus from their luxuries.

If anyone wants to play it sometime, PM me your Steam name.  Heads up, I'm pretty elite at Civ games.

Side note, if you're participating in that trading card thing on Steam you can make decent spare change.  Bots will instantly buy your cards if you list them a few cents below the market price.  Pretty neat making $5-10 to spend during the summer sale while I'm playing games.

Warfare is the entire game in AoE, it's only part of the game in Civ.  You start a civilization from the ground up and try to win by conquering the world, launching a space shuttle to another solar system, having a greatly superior culture or convincing other people to vote for you as the leader of the world.  You manage multiple cities across continents.  There are many different maps.  You can play on a replica of Earth, maps based on smaller regions like Europe or the Amazon and you can randomize maps for certain conditions (pangaea, ice age, little islands etc).  The game has different religions, tons of resources and espionage.

true, but you are playing on what, a 24" monitor with a couple of tinny computer speakers?  The consoles have the advantage of easily integrating into HT setups where you can really take advantage of what modern games offer, especially with the surround sound and sub-woofers.

Not to mention there isn't really a good way to play a FPS on a couch or recliner with a keyboard and mouse.

30" monitor. And my headphones sound better than your speakers. :don'tcare:

While I'm waiting for my scheduled weekly virus scan to finish (it's never found anything harmful because I'm not a respect but I do it just to be safe) I am also waiting for a few 75% off games I bought from the Steam sale to finish downloading.  Too bad those who only use consoles can't participate in these wonderful sales.
So PC gaming is for poors?  Thanks for clearing that up.

I have a 23 inch monitor with two decent Logitech speakers and a sub-woofer.  I'm not an audiophile so that's good enough for me, and it's far from tinny.  They weren't expensive either ($40).  When I really want to be immersed I wear my Turtle Beach headset.  It's definitely possible to have surround sound with a gaming PC.  One of my best friends has surround sound set up for his PC.

After connecting my 360 to my monitor, I have a hard time playing consoles on screens much larger than that. IMO it's the perfect size for gaming.  You won't notice any jaggies/pixelation on a screen that size and it's small enough that you can instantly see everything going on without having to scan around the screen.  If you're going to play local multiplayer, yeah you need something larger.  But if you're just using it to play either single player or online stuff like sports games and CoD with your buddies, 23 inches is great.

pretty standard to just play against barcelona every single time, count on one of many garbage through balls to messi finally going in, and if you're lucky enough to outlast that then they just unplug the network cord as soon as you take the lead?

If you play with a 4.5 star team or worse, you will almost never face barcelona. The game tries to match you up with teams that are roughly even. If you get into a game with a matchup that just isn't fair or if the connection is awful, you can quit within the first 5 minutes (game clock, not real time) of play and not receive an L. Once you get a few wins and move up a division or 2, the better players don't just quit as often, and you do get the W when they quit.

You just have to know that the through ball is coming, and if you can't stop it, you need to change the way you play. Keep your backs back and just let the ball move forward a little bit if attacking will open up a passing lane.

cool - wasn't really sure on the squad matchups... i assumed it just used your numerical level number or whatever, good to know.  strategy-wise the through ball spamming isn't a big deal to counter against, it's just super-annoying and not at all enjoyable.  guess i need to just suffer through the early level respects.  the few games i've played where it can't find anyone in your level and has to search out 20-30 levels have been much more enjoyable for me

I'm sure you can, but that wasn't really my point. The point was that buying a new console is about as bad as upgrading a PC.

There's good news for home theater enthusiasts, too. Microsoft is taking advantage of the console's IR blaster in a big way. The Xbox One can control individual components of your living room setup — a TV, receiver, etc. — recognizing commands like "Xbox, volume up" to make quick changes. The configuration process reportedly resembles that of a Harmony remote; you simply search for a device in your home theater chain rather than dealing with codes or other cumbersome menus.

PS4 is going to be more powerful/have better hardware than the XB1, but it won't mean much since the vast majority of games will be on both the PS4 and XB1.  That means they will have to be able to run on the XB1's inferior hardware so they will be designed with that in mind.

Publishers are lazy, cheap and stupid - they spend 90% of their budget on advertising and voice acting so instead of optimizing different versions of the same game to run better on different systems they're going to be made so they can run smoothly on XB1.  If something with inferior hardware can definitely run it without problems, so can the PS4.

Games that are exclusive to the PS4 should look better than games that are exclusive to the XB1, though.

My example would be Fallout New Vegas on ps3.  It ran like crap.  Freezing, lagging crap.  So if they made a game like that and it ran like crap on the xbox one, wouldn't it stand to reason that it might perform better on the ps4 or would it be equally shitty?

This says the PS4 is going to be the better console.  People who know, you say what about this?  Hemmy?  Saul?

PS4 is going to be more powerful/have better hardware than the XB1, but it won't mean much since the vast majority of games will be on both the PS4 and XB1.  That means they will have to be able to run on the XB1's inferior hardware so they will be designed with that in mind.

Doesn't that mean that they will run smoother on the ps4 tho?  Like less freezing and lagging?  That seems like a clear benefit.  Nothing ruins a good gaming sesh like a choppy game.

Fallout's an unusual game when it comes to how smooth it runs because it has issues on everything.  I've played 3 and FNV on 360, 3 on PS3 and 3 and FNV on PC.  All of them had their moments of lag and freezing, although the 360's issues were the worst.  In a massive open world game like that you definitely want to play it on the best hardware available, and next gen console-wise that would be PS4.  No guarantees for how smoothly Fallout 4 will play.  Bethesda just has problems getting their games to play cleanly.

I modded mine to hell and back, that had something to do with it.  It wasn't bad, but every once in awhile it would freeze or something would break.

Also, FO3 has some pretty notorious issues with Windows 7.  It was unplayable for awhile until it was eventually patched.

I thought the PS3 was better than the 360 and got it.  Then all my friends had 360s and I couldn't multiplayer with them.  Got a 360 and the PS3 mostly collects dust (other than the occasional PS3 exclusive title).

Get whatever your multiplayer friends get.

There's good news for home theater enthusiasts, too. Microsoft is taking advantage of the console's IR blaster in a big way. The Xbox One can control individual components of your living room setup — a TV, receiver, etc. — recognizing commands like "Xbox, volume up" to make quick changes. The configuration process reportedly resembles that of a Harmony remote; you simply search for a device in your home theater chain rather than dealing with codes or other cumbersome menus.
:drool:if the smartglass app works with this feature (and why wouldn't it) this could be a very easy and relatively low $ master control for a whole house system.

I feel the same way every year. The new one always seems a lot harder because they eliminated things that were too easy and stuff. Then once I get used to it, I stop noticing the differences.

It is definitely more difficult to make quick cut-backs. The gameplay overall is more sluggish, but it's great. I'm very excited for the game to come out. Will be at Wal-Mart at midnight on the 24th for the fourth straight year. :peek:

It is not necessary to get all the check marks. If you like getting achievements/trophies you will need them to get gold medals on the missions.

but does it add to the gameplay (bonus missions or something) in any way to get the check marks, or are they just achievements/trophies/medals for the sake of achievements/trophies/medals?

probably not.  you can replay any mission, so if it actually is important you can do it again later.  i'm fine silver and bronzing tho.

on the map in rockland hills area (northwest/northcentral LS), there is a street between a barber shop icon and a clothing icon.  1 block south of those icons on that street.  it's basically rodeo drive in beverly hills.

a fun DYK? - it spawns there because a real guy in beverly hills parks his car at the same spot all the time  :eek: 

there tons of people on google image posing with it.  $2.5 million MSRP

I crossed over 50% last night. I've been a pretty worthless father/husband/business partner since I bought it.  :gocho:

I actually made it to about 25% and figured out the key to making a shitload of money was to wait as long as possible to do franklin's assassinations and take all the money from all characters and invest it 100% into the stock that's obviously going to rise after the assassination.

pick up people on the highways whose cars are broken down, or who are walking, and bring them to the compound, the cult people give you $1k per head

chump change. im in the empire business.

You make 100k after the 4th time.

What are the first few things I need to be doing in this game?  What should I be focusing on at first? 


I love the Elder Scrolls games and loved Red Dead.....in those there's stuff you want to do to get cash fast, and level up, and sweet places to go to get the best guns and stuff.  What about GTA 5 for a new guy?????

Pete, do missions until you unlock Trevor.  By then you will have all 3 characters, a sizeable bank, understanding of game mechanics, and most activities open to you. 

After that just do what you want.

But GTA V is the very definition of open world, feel free to explore and do the random events if you come across one, for the most part the order you do things doesn't matter.

The only thing is the assassination missions for Franklin can make tons of money on the stock market so some people save those for the very last when you investment can be much higher.

i drove around a lot with franklin, the first character and leveled his driving skills, also leveled up his shooting skills at the gun range.  leveling up on GTA V is different than the past games, it actually helps. triathlons will level up your stamina.  but ya you will want to at least unlock michael then just do the open world stuff.  but don't be afraid of playing too quick, it's a big game and the online is where you'll go.  i'm like 28% done and have been taking my time but bought it on day 1.

google "gta v walkthrough" and one of the first hits should be from ign. find the section that says how to make money and there's a cheat sheet on what stocks to invest in before each of franklin and lester's assassination missions. you have to do the first one halfway through the story but you can wait on the rest until you're done with the main storyline. wait as long as you can and don't spend money on anything during the game. then make sure everyone is 100% invested in the right companies before each assassination mission. depending on how well you time your investments and how much you make from the heist missions, you should end up with around a billion for each player after all the assassinations. then just start buying properties.

take your time with the main storyline and do some side missions and "strangers and freaks" missions along the way. it's really an amazing game.

So I spent some time playing GTA5 last night.  I basically crashed ever single car I got into, and the little messages that pop up that tell you what to do were coming so fast I could hardly read them before they were gone.

Also, there is almost too much cussing.  I don't know if I have ever said that before on any occasion.  I mean, that's all you hear when you drive around as this franklin person is mother rough rider this and mother rough rider that.  Even the people on the street are yelling it.  It gets kind of tiring.  I don't really like that, and "hanging out" in an imaginary world full of it isn't particularly entertaining to me.  So far, I think the game kind of sucks  :dunno:

Teamwork doesn't mean jack. No party systems. If you have a team you play with, you're spending half the time trying to switch teams or join their server. The mechanics of it aren't smooth at all. The level destructibility in the series is and always has been overrated. The sky scraper falling is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). People spend the whole game trying to get long snipes or vehicle camp or shoot the sky scraper. Boooooring.

Final Fantasy 7

All of this FF talk reminded me how much I liked X back when.  That was a really good game.  So I
bought XIII-2 just now to maybe get a fix.

I've never actually played X. Waiting for it to get re-released on PS3 which I think is coming soon.

Yeah I think it's already announced for Japan in December.  It's one of my favorite games oat.

BF4 beta. I will kick anyone's ass if I am in a tank.

BF4 is awful.

Well, that's just not true. How is it awful?

Teamwork doesn't mean jack. No party systems. If you have a team you play with, you're spending half the time trying to switch teams or join their server. The mechanics of it aren't smooth at all. The level destructibility in the series is and always has been overrated. The sky scraper falling is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). People spend the whole game trying to get long snipes or vehicle camp or shoot the sky scraper. Boooooring.

No online game has teamwork. Snipers on rooftops will easily be defeated when commander mode is enabled. The "mechanics" of the game are as smooth or smoother than any prior BF game. The destruction is much better than it was in Bad Company 2. You could basically flatten every single structure, and 10 minutes into every map that's exactly what happened. There is some vehicle camping, but that has been there in every BF game, but atleast in BF4 you can spawn into all vehicles. Sounds like you are playing it wrong. Of the 64 people in the server the vast majority are not dicking around.

I like it a lot. But it's harder for sure.

Quite honestly, everything is a little more sluggish. Pace is not as much of a factor anymore. Passing and build-up play are a lot more important.

If you are doing offline, you might have to drop down a difficulty level or so. The AI is a lot better now. Career mode got a bit of an overhaul with scouting.

I enjoy it overall.

I really liked the last assassin's creed (the only one I've played) but the missions where you had to captain the ship were my least favorite, so it doesn't bode well for black flag.

Deadrising games are fun if that's your thing.  Forza is similar to Gran Turismo but they are able to put them out quicker than once per year.  Racing games just tend to get old fairly fast for me.

true but I used to work for Microsoft and it wasn't a good experience and then ps3 offered me a job and I took it

The Big Train
gotcha, see that makes sense, I am just a consumer, so its preference

greydynasty51
yea if the customers knew half the stuff they hide they would be skrewed

The Big Train
go on

greydynasty51
they rip people off

The Big Train
how

greydynasty51
some of the workers scam people out of money like banning their console for no reason and making them buy a new one
when I left about 1000 b

The Big Train
so, like, the red circle of death isnt a real thing or what

greydynasty51
oops about 1000 people left xbox and yes it is a real thing the red circle is very bad it means ur motherboard is frying

The Big Train
yeah I have had 2 red circles
rough ridin' bullshit

greydynasty51
that's one way xbox fucks u over im actually very pleased with sony their not screwing people

The Big Train
so the red circle is fabricated?

greydynasty51
yes at times
depends

The Big Train
there is no depends

greydynasty51
it could mean ur getting scammed to buy another xbox or the motherboard is going bad and is overheating

The Big Train
so why is it just the harddrive
replace it, and its fine

greydynasty51
the red circle of death is the motherboard overheating
most of the time

The Big Train
is this sueable material?

greydynasty51
im in a lawsuit with them now I sued them bigtime they pay the workers to keep there mouths shut

The Big Train
OMG
thats terrible

greydynasty51
the good thing is sony has my back 100%

The Big Train
well yeah
competitors

greydynasty51
they have dirt on Microsoft now there trying to pay me and sony to shut up and drop the case before it goes public

Keep evicting people you don't want and when a new one moves in, hire him at his "dream job" you'll get a bux!  And if he's no good at his job, just evict him right after hiring him and hire back the better person.

ok, but i have no idea how much this would be though. better for me to just get one of those ten dollar wiis that hemmy was pumping?

Where are you located?  I got a wii that I would probably just give you, won't come with games or controllers but it's in perfect condition.

SOLD! i'm in mhk.

no. take sd up on his offer (just search ebay and craigslist for prices and then take off a percent for being irl bros) then buy a kinect. trust me on this. it's the greatest toy ever for young kids. keeps them active and burns their energy inside when it's cold and shitty outside.

also you can play star wars with him. great father-son bonding. lots of high fives and fist pumps, etc.

not acceptable because you already have lifetime room and board, but i bet we could come to some kind of agreement. also, americanairlinescat stayed last weekend and then promptly had to hitch a ride and drive all the way back to dallas because there was an ice storm and dfw was shutting down or something and it looked like all aa flights out of mhk to dallas were going to be cancelled. also, did you know that if you work for american for five years you get unlimited domestic for free? i am going to mhk airport to see if i can get mrs daris a job loading luggage or something today after work.

Get them a Wii. Kids love Mario. Most of the good games on the Xbox are not made for kids.

I think wii is best for kids but he may outgrow it quick.  I'd leave that call to other people with kids though.  I was there twice, once US Air and once Great Lakes as it was just becoming AA.  Basically, everybody did everything.  Check people in, load bags, waive planes in and out, deice, etc.  Flights will either be free with space available or they'll make you pay some pud charge for space available ($25 for less than 500 miles, 35 for 500-1000, etc).  Plan vacations smart and you can fly for free a lot. Also, you'll get discounts for a bunch of stuff because companies trade with airlines a lot.  A lot of it I didn't use, but most is travel related (rental cars) and some is just random companies.

I just caught up with the last two weeks of this thread, interesting read because my roommate just downloaded TLDS after seeing me play Tiny Tower.  Seems like a fun little take on the older game, but always felt like the game itself was an incomplete one.  I mean, biggest part of the game is moving elevators yourself?  :P

I just started and have only played it for a couple of hours at most, level 3 I think.  GF's lil bro is hanging out at my house today and is probably going to level me up a billion times though. 

I usually nail cars on the inside of turns and pass.  Works pretty well.  The driver assists are pretty extreme which I enjoyed at first but will probably start turning off.

I beat Ryse on the medium difficulty in about two days and took it back.  Great graphics, but it's not an open world game, so it's kinda basic.

remember your review of the last open world game  :Rusty:

I don't like all of them, but I like lots of them.  GTA isn't fun for me.  I enjoyed leaving Topeka, I don't need to play in a fantasy world that reminds me of it.

OK so my xbox RROD'd two years ago right before my daughter was born.

I did all the stuff to register it to be fixed but never did it.

So I got around to it a month ago and I just got it back. 

The letter in it said that they fired it up and it was working fine.

Probably not, but while in boston it just felt a little slow.  Not that it took away, but when the seasons started switching it went from a great game to an amazing game.

Yeah one game is not enough to justify the purchase. I waited at least a year after it's release to purchase my first 360 (which gave microsoft time to work out the initial kinks and whatnot). I'll most likely do the same for the XBone. I've been an Xbox guy since the first one but I gotta admit the PS4 is making a strong case for itself this generation.

Won't graduate until December, haven't reached that  :kstategrad: status yet. Still need to live like a baller on a budget until then. I imagine I will end up purchasing an XBone as a grad present for myself.

get yourself something along the lines of what I got myself for undergrad. don't get a video system that will become irrelevant at some point. i think you'd get more enjoyment out of the alternative, anyway. :th_twocents:
I do not remember what you got yourself for undergrad.

That's right, well as you know I have plenty of those and the only other ones I'm interested in purchasing cost way more than an XBone.

The entire Call of Duty series just needs to take a breather and go back to the drawing board. They've lost the innovation that made the first Modern Warfare so great. They're still doing it better than the other FPS devs though

There are codes you can enter to just start out against Macho Man and Tyson. It's a lot easier to figure out how to beat them when you don't have to start over at the beginning of the World Circuit.

My GF and I have different schedules.  She usually goes to bed before I do and our days off don't always match up.  I typically play COD with friends for a couple hours at night once or twice a week.  If I am playing skyrim or the such, I will do it marathon style on a day off I have to myself.

I am trying to get the gold camo for my sniper rifle in Ghosts.  It's very frustrating because I have completed all of the camo challenges except one....the "rescue" kills are very, very hard to do with a sniper rifle.  I am stuck on 6, and need to get 4 more to unlock the last camo and thereby unlock the gold camo.

I saw that most people "use a friend" to help them to this, and the friend will use a riot shield and dash out and take fire while the other guy stands off to the side and picks off the people shooting at the shield guy.  But, it seems from message boards that even this approach is very difficult to pull off successfully.

This is really pissing me off.

four maps, I believe.  One is the "featured" one though.  Unless those others are for squads or alien games or whatever.

Wouldn't we need two "teams" of people to get true "rescue" kills though?  A bad guy has to wound your partner, then you can to kill the bad guy before your partner fully heals.

Played the Destiny Beta this past weekend on Xbone.  Seemed fun enough.  It was like call of duty meets Halo and World of Warcraft.  Graphics looked really good and it was very smooth.  I am usually terrible at first person shooters, but this one is up my ally.  The whole player vs. player has never been that fun to me, but I could see enjoying the game when it comes out in September (I believe).

It's an rpg-type shooter.  It can be MMO, but you don't have to.  You should probably buy it if you liked Fallout 3/New Vegas or Skyrim.  When I don't have to deal with babies all the time so much at home I'm going to buy it.

PS4 have some solid titles coming out.  I have an XB1, but wish I would have got a PS4.  All my friends from Auburn University/K-State all have an XB1 so I was screwed in the sense that I game with them and it is the best way we all keep in touch.  If you aren't tied down like I am, I'd go for a PS4.

Hmm... I already have Netflix / Hulu / MLB At Bat on my 360 and they run fine. Any reason to run then on the newer gen consoles over what I have? That is really all I would plan on media wise I think

Advantage is you can quickly switch between them, and also watch TV through the XB1. The 360 is fairly slow when it comes to running apps. I wouldn't buy it JUST for that, but the experience is significantly better.

I like the direction MS is going with their updates to the xb1's functionality but from a straight gaming perspective I'd wait until developers quit designing their games with the previous gen in mind

yeah if you don't want your eyes to bleed from watching all that horrible 720p content :barf: when you could be watching glorious 1080p on a system which will be future proof to 4k content.   :sdeek: :sdeek: :sdeek:

But for serial, the XB1 is going to have some advantages.  It just depends on where your interests lie.  If you're a serious videophile and really want that extra dimension to content these next gen consoles will do that.  If you're like me?  Plenty of life left in the 360.

I'm a level 12 now. It's legit fun, especially with a couple other people. Getting loot is awesome. Controls really well. Coop/story is really fun. Crucible MP is so so. I think it will be better once I level up. The strike missions (devil's lair on earth, summoning pits on moon) are insanely fun. Difficult and crazy enemies.

Some down sides- Story could be better. It's pretty formulaic. it would be nice if you could at least have proximity chat in the tower. There's lots of people, but interactions are limited. Finally, crucible needs bigger maps. Shotguns are overpowered.

The boxes are usually glimmer and crap like that. probably 1/4 of the time it's gear. You can also drop loot when killing bad guys. I've noticed this occurring more frequently the higher level you are. Also when you play story mode, you can redeem stuff for high end loot.

other than that, pretty similar to Civ 5. I like the new covert ops stuff, as well as the different Affinities and how you can mix/match.

I was going to buy but the only PC I have is a cheap laptop that is about 4 years old.  Then I read and it made it seem like it wasn't all that much better than 5.  Also, that they killed the end game stats which I always loved and a review mentioned the losing and not knowing why.  I might just expansion up my PC and hope they make some minor improvements prior to Mac release.

Any strong opinions on the non-linear tech tree?

I fired up Advanced Warfare last night to play with my buddies in a party and I kept getting kicked out of the lobby.  My NAT type on the Xbone setting is open but on COD AW in the xbl lobby it's showing Nat Type Moderate.  Is anyone else running into this issue.  It's a super bummer as I only get so much time to play with my friends and this isn't letting me.

depends on what kind of hardware your computer has. I doubt it though, you should be fine as long as it's not like a really cheap Acer from Wal-Mart or something.

The first chapter got me pretty scared. Chapter 2 isn't as bad. I'll have to finish the whole game to really know. But the potential is definitely there. The seizure/heart problem disclaimer every time you start the game is a nice touch.

Cool. I'm looking forward to at least kind of getting back into video games. I know Nintendo is pretty much anti-third party, but they seem to make the best/ most unique first-party games. Looking forwards to playing the Zeldas, Donkey Kongs, and Mario World type games as they come out.

Your kid will like Skylanders.  Get the Trap Team portal, but you can use older Skylander characters as well (Giants and Swap force).  Pete Jr is balls out nuts for it for quite a while after he gets a new character, then kinda loses interest.  So, it's nice to be able to pick up a new character every once in a while instead of buying whole new games.

I went a different route this year and got lil hF #4 the ipad version of Trap Team.  He has to fight with 3 other bros to get his time on either the 360 or the XB1.  Maybe this will help out.

Guys, Wii U is great. Nicname Jr. and I have been partyrocking Skylanders Trap Team with great success. He already had a lot of Swap Force characters, because he has a Wii with Swap Force at his grandma's house. Great thing is, there isn't a disc to buy for the Wii U version, so we got the Wii Trap Team game and he just took the disc to grandma's and we downloaded the HD Wii U version for our place.

He's already got a ton of Swap Force characters and picked up a few of the Trap team guys for Christmas as well. Whoever came up with this game is a marketing genius. A lot of money can be spent on traps and characters.

Mario Kart 8 is great fun as any MK game ever has been. I'm sure I'll blow tons of money downloading old NES and SNES games.

Played my PS4 for the first time Sunday, Shadow of Mordor.  It's pretty fun.  It's very similar to the Batman games except you cut and stab the eff out of the bad guys instead of just punching and kicking them.  I miss the grapple gunning and flying though. 

The graphics don't seem too much better than PS3.  Also if you change the main guys' skin it doesn't change in the cutscenes. :longfart:

Yes. Quick highlights from the 1 game I played:

Ventura's leg kick is spot on
I hit Hunter Pence in the face with a 98mph fast ball  :shy:
Ventura took MadBum deep for my first run of the game
Live Roster updates in Franchise Mode (ie if the Royals make a roster move it will update your roster)

Most of us who play video games are bad ass alpha males, so our wives just shut the eff up and let us do what we want.  But, others of us are just sexual dynamos, and in those cases our wives don't say anything with a mouthful of penis, if you know hat I mean.

Neither of you guys are the type of guys I want in KC.

haven't played in over a week but I felt like beating the expansion pack. 3rd to last level blew my mind, like seriously the coolest thing I have ever played. hopefully they come out with another expansion pack, would buy.

Is it seriously that good, TBT? Couple friends have mentioned the same thing and I just didn't see it from the screen shots (I understand that's not going on much).

What's so cool about it? I bought The Room, LOVE that one and immediately picked up The Room 2. Not nearly as impressive. That's when my buddy told me I need to try this one you're talking about. So, what makes this one so good?

if you want an honest answer, yeah it's that good. it's also only like $2.

it's basically a maze game build on geometry and optical illusions.  the environments are interactive, so like you can turn the 3D maze itself to get to places that seem impossible.  you walk on the sides of objects, upside down, and even like mirrored upside down.  if you like mind exercises and understand geometry and stuff it's a can't miss.

Personal opinion?  Do yourself a favor and at least do the storyline of 3 beforehand. Then you can waste some time in the Wasteland until November. It will also make you appreciate all the new additions they are putting into 4 that look amazing.

Thanks. I'll have to check out #3. I'll need something after I wrap up Watch_Dogs. I had low expectations of that game, bought it when the price dropped, and have been pleasantly surprised. A bit repetitive, but still very fun.

I didn't play Oblivion.  Pretty damn close to Skyrim, IMO.  The crafting/enchanting looks quite a bit more intricate.  I'm not super detailed in it but basically like running around bashing heads.  After time I will fill in some of the gaps.

Parts of it lack some challenge because you'll be getting ready to fight a badass and all of a sudden 5 people show up and he goes down way too easy.  If you hit a tough patch, you can wait until you level and come back or you can stand around until a higher level player comes along and follow them.  There are some parts that you have to do solo though too.

I really didn't need my elder scrolls to go MMO as I'm not sure it adds much, but I'll judge more when my friends start getting on it.  That said, it doesn't take much away either.

I have always had Xboxes.  I have an Xbox One and a 360.  I really like the Xbox "Live" online stuff, but haven't used in a while.  I'd get an Xbox.  For what you want to use it for, I think you can't go wrong with that or a PS4, however.  I know about twice the number of people who have Xbox One than PS4, so that matters to me on those somewhat rare times that I want to play with/against them online. 

If I were you I'd go back and buy the older versions of Fallout, for cheap, in advance of the new game and play around with them a little bit.  They are really fun, and you'll probably enjoy the new one more.

PRO TIP:  Boost your characters regular weapon shooting skills (not lasers and crap, but really like bullet firing rifles and pistols and stuff) and then get the best bullet fire regular guns you can and just murder any mother rough rider that gets in your way.  Just keep boosting those skills (it's easy, you will figure out how that works really fast).  Get a sniper rifle, an shot gun, and a nice pistol, and wreck some fools.   I personally like going with an old west lever action rifle (there is a Lincoln Repeater that I love).

I think I might go buy the last one this weekend and re-play it!

just look for it in the store, it's pretty fun
i played it for about an hour today.  it's in better beta shape that a lot of games i've tried.  i guess it comes out in a month so it's not like there's a lot of changes they could make at this point.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can interchange profiles and/or utilize separate save files to load. Maybe create a separate user profile on the console itself, that you can select once you are ready to start your own 'campaign'

I hate how EA took out voice chat for the game. Its 20-40 people running around trying to guess how to organize to win. Hopefully they add it in a future patch as it would make it a heck of a lot more fun. That being said, it is still a pretty fun game!

Everyone - I'm a little disappointed with Star Wars Battlefront. The gameplay itself is incredz but, like, there isn't a story to the game. All just separate missions.

I don't have the PS Network online pass thingy so the game is kinda pointless. Am I stupid?  :frown:

they probably took it out because of professional crap talkers like me.  i have a unique ability to really piss people off, i feel like its a gift, personally.

apparently I have played 300+ hours of football manager.  That seems high (like I have left it running quite a bit and not sure if that counts).  But considering it was $50 it is an incredible bargain.  I will probably get FM2016 soon.

The games go pretty quick. It's hard to describe FM without making it sound incredibly boring, but once you get sucked into the game it becomes your life.

Question for everyone:

My son has a ps4 with playstation plus.

I'm looking at getting myself a ps4 this christmas, thinking about the battlefront edition. Now the problem is, it comes with a download key for the game instead of the game itself. My son will play the game more than me so I was going to give him the download key, but is there anyway that I can play the game too on my own ps4, or only on his?  Do I need to buy a seperate playstation plus if I want to get online? 

With our old xbox's I just logged in both consoles as my account with the gold (never at the same time) but I don't think we can do that now with the ps4 correct?  Should I just get the uncharted edition that comes with the games on disc so we can both play them on our own ps4's?

Also, can you play local multiplayer games without plus on both machines?

I'm currently a prospect 3 in standard.

I feel like a kid in a 90s video game commercial when I'm playing it because i'll actually (without thinking about it) jerk my body around when I'm playing it.

Maybe you are gaming a lot more than me, but when they announced Scorpio at the same time I am struggling to justify the spend.  IF they stick to their timeline, that's upgrading for 16 months (assuming Scorpio is worth the next upgrade).

ya i don't really mind the upgrade.

we already knew about scorpio before the e3 announcement.  what we don't know about it are its system specs. 
if i wanted VR and 4K gaming today, i could build a pc, own its specs, and buy a vive.  supposedly every game playable on the scorpio will be playable on the current consoles, with the exception of the vr stuff.

i bought the xbox one s because of its smaller form factor, the way it looks, integrated power brick, uhd gaming/more powerful processing, bluetooth, and because i hate just about everything about my 1st gen xbox one.  wtf is with the usb on the side of the console?  so dumb. 

i also had a credit at amazon so i didn't pay retail.

I am kicking around the S as I have the occasional issue with my Day One and am worried it will get to unplayable.  Controllers don't sync, games don't always start out of the sleep mode properly, etc.  I don't know if that is every XOne console or just particularly bad on my early one.

my day 1 edition has the same issues.  my neighbor had the same, he's already upgraded to the elite.  between the need to upgrade to a properly sized HDD, my amazon credit, the uptick of the one s's specs, and the issues i have with my 1st gen console, the upgrade made sense.  i should be able to get at least $100 out of my current console too, come august 31st.

One S does not support uhd gaming, just an HDR color gamut.  I will also wait for the good xbox one.  My current one runs fine, and I use my PS4 about 95% of the time anyway.  I'm pretty sure ps4 went back to the drawing board after microsoft announced Scorpio, so I'm pretty excited to see what they come up with to compete.

i meant hdr but regardless, nothing sony has done in the past 10 years has competed with microsoft so you shouldn't get too excited.
maybe a gaming newb (ps4 player?  really? lulz) like you should just stick with a wii since it sounds more your speed.

Except for Sony manhandling Microsoft for the past 5 years.  Luckily microsoft is releasing a console that is smaller than a betamax player about 3 years after their competition was able to.

failboat.  I'd have bought one just for Contra, and to not be cloud connected and able to have DLC?

I did see a cheap console in a mall in OKC last week that had Contra, but didn't have time to stop.

Certainly gives weight to the initial idea that this is a re-skinned (maybe heavily, but still) BDK. SAM boards and all. It better be a LOT different if it is. BDK sucks - one of modern Stern's weakest efforts. My hype meter just deflated a little. Maybe Stern can put the Marco link on their facebook page. It'd be a more informative tease than the parade of hot wheels.

I'll buy WD2 when the price drops. Did this with WD1, thoroughly enjoyed the game, so I'll play WD2.

Also bought GTAV a couple weeks ago to replay on the Bone, originally played the main story on 360.

Post by: star seed 7 on November 22, 2016, 10:18:36 AM
Yeah, I did it twice on the 360

My bone dl seems bugged tho. Any mission where you need to press the right d-pad to access something (like where Michael has to buy clothes to kill the life invader guy) doesn't work and I have to intentionally fail 3 times to skip that mission portion. Works fine outside of missions tho. I selflessly do these missions for my family  so you can see the problem.

I have the most fun with Roadhog and Reaper (though I suck with Reaper), but I think right now I'm best with lucio or zenyata.

HBU clams?

Post by: pissclams on January 26, 2017, 10:37:33 AM
yeah the d.va nerf is too much
roadhog (not a tank) can hook and one shot d.va (tank) out of her mech.  that makes zero sense.  blizzard mumped this one up and i'm really sad about it.  i really hope the change it back.

the lunar new year skins are pretty good but i haven't gotten any yet and the capture the rooster mode is fun if you get on a good team.

What's your beef with roadhog's tank status? They should at least make d.va 300/300 armor/health wise.  Why not split the difference?  Haven't played the CTF mode yet.

And yeah, I really like the new skins.  Zen, Reinhardt and Ana are really nifty.

crap i didn't realize he was a tank when i said he wasn't one.  just checked.   he's a tank.

she originally was 300/300 before they buffed her and then subsequently nerfed her.  hopefully they switch her back to that at the very least.

i like ana and mei's white/purple skin, i've been playing her a lot lately.  and dva's is great but now that she's been turned to crap by blizzard meh.

I refuse to switch from my Bee.va skin.  Mei is great (and fun) but my idiot teammates are always missing an integral piece (no healer, no tank, no mcree/soldier) so I don't get to play with her as much.

if I had to solo queue i'd play a lot less.  just being comfortable with your team and knowing their habits/style is huge.

also, knowing that nobody on your team is gonna be some joker hanzo is a nice luxury.  we're all in a groupchat together and we spend quite a bit of time talking strategy.  safe to say that OW has really sucked me in.

Need some advice. I want to get a game console for my wife and kids for Mother's Day. We don't have anything currently. The last time I bought a game system was the N64 (no crap). I'm not a huge gamer, my wife isn't, and we don't really want our kids doing this much, either. But I want to get them a few of those motion dancing/sports games they can play together. They had a blast doing some dancing game on a friend's old wii a few weeks ago. So that's what I'm going for. I'm not looking for cutting edge - in fact I'd probably rather avoid it. I'm looking for easy to use, relatively inexpensive, good for motion, and good for wives and young kids.

With that in mind, what would you recommend? I was thinking a Wii U? Plus a dancing game, sports game, and maybe MarioCart? Does a Wii U come with the motion stuff, or is that extra?
Title: Re: Video games master thread

Buy a Wii. The thing also plays GameCube games so if you want the GOAT Mario kart game Mario Kart Double Dash. Then make that purchase also the Wii has fun motion control games like Rayman raving rabbids and Mario party. The Wii was my first big purchase as a kid and will always hold a dear place in my heart. The Wii also has smash Bros and two amazing Zelda titles. Also Wii sports comes with everything and you could also buy the NBA jam reboot. Dang what a great system

Just picked up a Wii U on Craigslist. It'll play all the Wii games. Tried it out last night with Mario Cart 8 and I think the kids will have fun with that once I get a few more controllers. Also came with ZombiU, Mass Effect 3, Assassin's Creed 3, and Bayonetta 2? I'll probably try to resell those.

Now I just need to buy several years' worth of those Just Dance games and a couple of the motion remotes. Dad is swinging for the fences this year.

I probably need to manage my expectations a bit, but best Mother's Day Gift Ever? Maybe. I'm going to wrap up the remotes and games (dance stuff, not Bayonetta) and have the kids give it to her with a card inviting her to the dance. Then I'll be all like "guys, I'm sorry, but we don't have a Wii... oh wait, we do?!" (I'm going to act very surprised by this). Followed by hours of wholesome family entertainment and praise about what an amazing gift this is.

I've seen a lot of 'leaked' stuff that say it's gonna be $499.  Which is high but someone made a good point that ~11 years ago Sony set the PS3 at that spot too and we all know how that went.

They really gave no good reason for anyone to buy the One X right away, and I think it's safe to assume that when there is a good reason to buy it, the console will be less expensive.

Dlew and clams, do people keep track of their kill to death ratios like they used to in the call of duty olden days?  I used to really focus on that.  I'd be stoked with a 5 kill 1 death game.  Call of duty seemed to devolve into "get as many kills as possible and who cares about deaths."

i don't and i doubt others do either.  it's really much more of a team focused game with each hero having a role (healer, defense, tank, etc) on the 6 person team  and blizzard has done a good job taking the focus away from K/D.  cod is a k/d competition, that's about it.

Yeah.  And the way "kills" work in OW are a little different.  You get credit for a kill if you put any (at least i don't think there's a threshold) damage into a killed enemy.  So it isn't uncommon to have 40 kills and 7 deaths for an unremarkably average game..

Me and my crew all have an app ("oversumo" @clams) that keeps track of our stats/life. Each hero has different stats it keeps track of, and it rates you based on your performance of that particular hero.

Picked up dirt 4. Pull it out of the case to install it and it is scratched to all heck. Taking it back to gamestop hopefully they will let me swap for another new one.

Also I will be in line for this at the Manhattan best buy. If anyone wants to camp out when the time comes pm me http://www.nintendo.com/super-nes-classic

Good game. I loved both of the tomb raider games, I just bought the second one and it was very good. I absolutely enjoy the scavenger mechanics and it makes you feel like you have to actually survive. However Pete the main story is kinda short but just mix in side quests and you will be good.

yeah.  i agree.  same could be said for roadhog.  why they wanted to disincentivize people from tanking, i do not know.

I decided I'm completely done solo qeue'ing.  I absolutely hate playing mercy, but end up having to play her about 50% of the time because my genius team instalocks 4 dps.  when i'm not solo-healing with mercy i'm solo-tanking.  meanwhile my pharah winrate is like 65%.

So when I was a little TBT I would go across the street to my good friend Todd's house. He had a computer, we did not.  He had the original AOE and I would watch him play and vice versa for literal days.

This was also when I found yahoo chats(a/s/l) and was introduced to the internet at large.  That led to writing quadratic equation and graphing programs for TI-83's(silver edition) and beyond.  So AOE had a special place in my heart and I still have 1 & 2 installed on my very expensive modern laptop.

I am excited for this game.

If you both are fans of the series I would highly recommend it. It is fun and follows the show very closely. The game play is fun and its interesting to see how big Southpark really is. I'm about 3 hours into so I haven't gotten to the really cool stuff so far.

Anyone playing NHL '18? I'm having trouble with it being glitchy a.f. On season mode it calls lots of penalties on me, no matter what I do with the sliders. When I set lots of penalties I mean like, 8-10 called in a 12 minute game. I've also played about 30 games and never gave up less than four goals in each game, I've restarted seasons two different times now, it's frustrating as hell.

I am about to embark on a bold video game endeavor.

My 10 year old had a bday party this past weekend, and we system-linked an Xbox 360 with an Xbox One and had a small LAN party using backward compatible 360 games (Halo and COD).  They had a blast.

So, I am going to procure a couple more used Xbox 360's and another Xbox One, a few cheap 32 - 40 inch LCD's and set the SOB's up in my semi-finished-remnant-carpet-and-old-furnniture-kid-lair basement. It will be 4 screens, with 3 box 360s and an Xbox One (keeping one Xbox One upstairs in the den for me tho  :gocho:)

I am kinda pumped about this. The kids will mostly use it for LAN parties, but I've also wanted a place to watch like two TV's while playing video games at the same time.   I'll also take the SOB over for NCAA tournament.

I keep telling him he has to be 10 (which would make the next one 8).  He plays angry birds and cartoon network games on the computer sometimes so he isn't a no screen time weirdo or anything.

Wait as long as you can.  My son is 10.  He has always had mine around, but just got his own this year with a Switch.   Tho, we did give him a DS when he was 8, so that really does count I guess.  But before that he was a kitchen Mac Minecraft addict.

Any of you get invited to the MLB the Show 18 Alpha? I recieved mine yesterday and it's downloading as we speak.

I am about to embark on a bold video game endeavor.

My 10 year old had a bday party this past weekend, and we system-linked an Xbox 360 with an Xbox One and had a small LAN party using backward compatible 360 games (Halo and COD).  They had a blast.

So, I am going to procure a couple more used Xbox 360's and another Xbox One, a few cheap 32 - 40 inch LCD's and set the SOB's up in my semi-finished-remnant-carpet-and-old-furnniture-kid-lair basement. It will be 4 screens, with 3 box 360s and an Xbox One (keeping one Xbox One upstairs in the den for me tho  :gocho:)

I am kinda pumped about this. The kids will mostly use it for LAN parties, but I've also wanted a place to watch like two TV's while playing video games at the same time.   I'll also take the SOB over for NCAA tournament.

Hello, I'd like to be your friend.

It’s worked out pretty well.  We probably play more Xbox one on two screens than anything else, but we put ball games and crap on the others at the same time.

Yeah.  It's hard to complain too much about this (because the battle royale mode is free), but allowing players a sandbox to get the hang of building would really help with the learning curve.  If you can't build quickly, you will lose, and the only way to get good at building right now is to practice in game.

much of the action occurs at or near "cities" or other points of interest where a lot of the loot is.  you can survive fairly deep into the game by sneaking around, but you generally need quite a bit of materials and some decent weapons to win in the lategame. to get those materials/weapons, you generally need to kill a few people.

Never played fortnight but PUBG is more realistic and I would guess more complex in the controls. Call of Duty Hardcore would be a pretty good comparison except you don't respawn. Up to 100 players in a match and it's last man/squad standing wins. Headshots are instakills and others take a few rounds.  You loot gear, meds, and weapons so everyone starts at the same level. Gear are things that reduce damage helmets, body armor. Meds are damage repair and boosts that build your health back over time. Weapons have different attachments like scopes, silencers, and extended mags.

I've never played a game that is more intense and panic inducing.

I've never owned a PC that could handle that type of game. I learned about PUBG from friend who just built his own high powered computer for gaming (so high powered that he uses it to mine cryptocurrency while he is at work). His refresh rate (or whatever it would be called) is so good that he can see in complete detail all of the buildings on the ground from the moment he jumps out of the plane.  :horrorsurprise: :love:

All that being said I play on the One. Every now and again it will kick me out and I have to go through the main screen to jump back in the game. One thing I have noticed with that is that when I load it back in the game has moved me to the corner of a wall or room as if to help protect me while I log back in. Otherwise I enjoy the crap out of it.

They have fixed this quite a bit since it was released but when it kicks you out whatever movement you were doing continues until you get back in. So you basically continue in a straight line until you run into something.

He'd probably be OK with Mario Kart and some of the other Nintendo Mario type games, but I'd go for a DS 3D before a Switch.  See how that goes over, and get a feel for rules and crap like that.  You could go to Vintage Stock and pick up an old Nintendo Wii and a few used games that use the motion stuff (e.g. Wii sports, Star Wars lightsabers, the dancing stuff)  and he'd probably still lose his crap with excitement.

My 10 year old has a switch and love playing that game with him, and my 13 year old daughter.  It gets pretty intense.  At christmas it was quite a battle with the cousins.  Best part about the switch is that you can easily take it with you, so if it's getting boring at the old family reunion, just bust it out and put it on their tv.

Judging by my nephews, he can enjoy it but you are a few years away from getting anywhere close to a competitive game.  My nephew mainly enjoyed open world games where he could wander about with no clear objective at that age.

Downloaded Fortnite this weekend and I have to say for my gaming style that it is far superior of an experience to PUBG. I don't feel like I play often enough to really hone skills involved with shooting / stealth in hyper realistic shooting games.

Thoughts:


Both games are a lot of fun, but for now I think I'll probably be playing a lot more FN and save PUBG for when I have a weekend of time to kill.
Title: Re: Video games master thread

100% agree YD.  I've never played PUBG, but one of my buddies is Top 500 in NA and I've watched him play some.  It seems very fun, but very complicated -- and i imagine it would be even harder to do with a console. 

FN is action packed from the get-go if you play it right, and the building allows for a lot of creativity (like you said) and goofiness. 
Title: Re: Video games master thread

Update: I've played 5 games of FN. My longest game was 9 minutes (!). I killed some dude with my war hammer and some dude with a pistol gun. That's right, 2 kills. I have no idea how to build, not even gonna try to learn. Just wanna ace some greaseballs with a sniper.

One of the things that actually helped me get a lot better was to watch the person who killed me as the game went on. Seeing their strategy for building allowed me to emulate it almost immediately the next time I played. I spent a few games just falling to the edges of the map and practicing building. Now it is like second nature.

Post by: DQ12 on January 30, 2018, 08:22:17 AM
building isn't very complex.  so long as you can build 4 walls and a ramp quickly (i.e. whenever you're being shot at), that's 90% of what you need to know about building.  the other 10% is building ramps up mountains and to get better high-ground angles on fools.

Realtalk: a headset is a HUGE advantage.  You can hear and locate footsteps and gunshots a lot easier.  If you notice that you're in one of the Tilted Towers buildings and someone pops around a corner and shotguns you, it's because they heard you coming.

If I didn't have a headset I wouldn't play.  It would seem almost unfair.

Got an NES Classic for my kids to show them what real video games were like. I forget how effing hard these games are. Or maybe the controller or emulator is laggy? My jumps in games like Mario, Metroid, and especially Megaman 2 are all over the damn place. I have decided I am finally going to beat Zelda 2, which I gave up on as a kid. But that is a hard game to like.

Yeah it wants to mess with you a bit with how to prepare and especially as the game goes on it will have twists and turns.  It helps if you read a bit about the battles before hand to find out more about how they went, which is fun for me.

My strategy was basically like Grant's, I tried to maximize my army's size/skill and then overwhelm.  I usually doubled up the Confederates toward the end of the game.

I haven't really settled in on my "main" yet, but I have my most time on Orisa and Lucio. I am usually the flex player who chooses based on map / team comp. So I have played a decent amount of Torbjorn and am attempting to learn Symmetra. If I am doing competitive deathmatch I have the best luck with Soldier 76. If I am being selfish I'll play Soldier 76, Reaper, and McCree. . .but I am typically more in support because the teams I am placed on never seem to want to heal or tank.

So I have played a decent amount of Torbjorn and am attempting to learn Symmetra. If I am doing competitive deathmatch I have the best luck with Soldier 76. If I am being selfish I'll play Soldier 76, Reaper, and McCree. . .but I am typically more in support because the teams I am placed on never seem to want to heal or tank.

Who is your favorite?

YD, my man!
i'm kind of obsessed w/ O-dubs.
ps4, xbox1, pc?

don't spend any time w/ sym, she's getting a massive rework right now by blizzard and will be a completely new hero when they're done.

so i'm basically an o-dub pro, ama

I play on xbox1. You?

I struggle with Sym, but I have played against some people who have her figured out, so I am constantly tricked into trying her again. But, anytime I try to play as her for a match I almost immediately change to someone else after my first death.  It is crazy how important team comp is. I will play a couple games in competitive where I feel like a pro and then people on my group fall off I am paired up with randoms who all play DPS and I die more times then I eliminate an opponent.

Which are your favorites in each of the sections?

My crew is about to start OW again.  Hope my pharah skills are still at an elite level

Pharah is another character who can be so frustrating to play against and I have zero ability to play. :facepalm: haha

Yeah - a decent pharah can dominate games up until about low plat (or at least that was the case a year ago, when i stopped playing).  My teams kept getting run by decent pharah players so i decided "if you can't beat'em, join'em." 

I got to be pretty proficient with her.  I tried to watch a lot of the badass pharahs on youtube and then just grinded with her in QP and got to the point where I was comfortable starting a smurf for competitive where i instalocked her.  I think she got me to like 2950, which is when i got bored of chasing diamond with her and moved to sombra (where I didn't have anywhere near the same success).

It really is all about the map and team comp. There are ways to counter Pharah to make her useless, but if you are single queuing there is no guaranteeing anyone will build to counter her. I'd put Sombra in the same category of tried and found zero success with characters. I don't seem to have the patience to grind up on some of the characters when I can have funning playing pretty much any of the rest. Do you play on PC?

I have an old Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Wii, PS2 & PS3.  I touch the PS3 about once every years for some God of War and a few games of NCAA FB, NHL & FIFA.  The rest of the year I cycle through about 20 games between the  Nintendo, Sega, PS2 & Wii VC.  About once a week I still put NCAA06 baseball in the PS2, turn on some music & play the hitting mini game for an hour.

Are you on a console or pc?

I agree that there is a quick learning curve. One of the things I love about OW is that you don't have to remember more than a handful of things for each character. Which characters are you gravitating towards?


I just started playing a lot of Mercy last night. Because of the team comps in bronze it amplifies the opportunity for victory by quite a lot. And once you get the hang of her it can be really fun.

I'm on there too. We need to have a GE OW meetup one of these nights.

Also, I love Torb, but he is more of a situational character. I would focus on some of the characters who are good on all maps or else you will find yourself getting wiped out by the other team and have angry teammates.

Junkrat is a solid choice. Widow is almost a throw pick if you aren't very good with her. Other people to consider: Sombra and Genji. Ive been playing a lot of Sombra since they changed her invisibility to as long as you want.

With Tracer you can target out the "squishy" characters and then dance away. I think it is all about learning the timing of her recall and using her quick blinks in interesting directions. She is a lot of fun to play. If you master her you should definitely give Sombra an attempt.
Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: pissclams on August 21, 2018, 09:58:46 AM
lol @ sombra.  sombra is worthless to the team until you're basically in masters because the communication isn't there at lower levels to fully incorporate her into the team and teams just don't fully use her. 

when you're flexing you have to ask yourself who is the next best player you can play that would most help the team.  if the answer to your question is sombra then you should uninstall and go play battlefield.

Post by: DQ12 on August 21, 2018, 12:06:10 PM
- 76 is the staple DPS.  I get frustrated when my team doesn't have one.  Nice solid consistent damage.  Pretty good ult.  I think he should be in every game.

As for "off-dps"/flankers
- Pharah is lovely.  If you can jump on the soldier and kill him early in the fight, prepare to feast on the rest of the team.  Very mobile.  Environmental kill possibilities.  I love playing her.  I hate playing against her.
- Reaper is nice and reliable.
- Junk is a beast in certain maps (so good defending horizon and anubis.  also the last point on gibralter.  i'm sure there are others).

Hanzo/genji/tracer/widow/mcree can absolutely carry if you can play them well.  The problem is playing them well is tough, and if you're not playing them well, you're adding nothing to the team. 

-Bastion: i hate playing with him and against him.


I hate when my team has a bastion.
Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: pissclams on August 21, 2018, 02:39:32 PM
attack bastion is very viable on certain maps like volskya and junkertown.  he melts tanks.  definitely a spot pick though.  i usually will start a map with him when the opposite team is tank heavy and then switch to junk.

I think it's because I play Rein most of the time, and when we have a bastion, my job becomes a game of "Stand in front of the Bastion," which is boring af.  Daddy wants to swing that hammer.

I've become self conscious about being a bastion shield.  I've been practicing my tracer and am playing her at a solid platinum level.  One-clipping a some dipshit ana looking down her scope is a a great feeling.  Between tracer, pharah, and junk, i've developed a solid little flanker DPS niche.  For some reason, I am not a very good reaper.  Which is odd considering he's a pretty straightforward DPS to play.   

I've also been playing Zarya a lot more.  The buff she got is almost unfair.  I'm finishing almost ever game with an average energy of 50+.

Q: Is there a more fun scenario than being Roadhog on Illios Lighthouse or Illios Well?  A: No there is not.

as someone who has literally grown up with the super mario games, it really is.  i can mark different parts of my life by the super mario title i was playing at the time.  and now i'm the oldest of balls but still want to play the new releases.

It’s turned the corner, and is fun now.  The graphics and world are insanely good.  I am bagging perfect pelts like a pro.  My secret?  Bought the Springfield and upgraded all parts of it, especially the site.  Then, I pickout my prey using binoculars, and I now only shoot at three star animals...no one or twos for me.  I am the Kurtis Townsend of wild animal picker outers.

You have to find a fence, they buy all that crap and sell some of the more questionablely legal items like lock breakers and stuff. I know one is in st Denis, and there's another that you get sent to on a mission I think and don't remember where it is.

RDR2 is a really fun game so far.

Does anyone else absolutely hate the selector wheel thing and also how you select guns/cycle between them? Does it get easier the more you play and have you got a feel for using it quickly?

I shot a legendary grizzly in one of those early missions like 6 times with the rifle. Went back to my horse for some beans or whatever and thought I changed to shotgun. When the grizzly charged me I drew my rough ridin' bow and arrow.  :shooturmouth:

Loving this game so far.  But also having the problem of mixing up L2 and R2 and shooting someone when trying to focus on them.

Pro tip on the legendary grizzly, jump on top of the big rock in the same area, he can't reach you (or at least he didn't reach me while i stood there and shot him over and over).  Of course I died before I could sell the pelt.

There is a fence at emerald ranch, but not sure if he'll buy pocket watches, or just stage coaches.

Fence buys everything jewelry and stolen posession related. use the map index to find what you are looking for. Also upgrade your camp so you can fast travel for free and don't have to ride trains.

I chase them down while on my horse and lasso them.  However, they are a waste of time.

Best way that I have found to make money is to do the mission for that farm with the stolen goods fence, and then steal the holy eff out wagons with your mask on, then drive it to the fence’s barn. If they have zero bullet holes, you will get $40 for a 2 horse drawn wagon. Half that or less if it has a single bullet hole.

I just bought a perfect black bear pelt Shriner’s hat from the trapper.  My fav hat at the moment.  I have bear head, wolf head, and fox head as well. 

I have nailed almost all of the legendary animals that are on the Hosea map, but there are apparently some that are not on his map, like a legendary gator.

I also found that there is a legendary Muskie in the big lake west of strawberry.  It showed up on my map with the little crown on it.  It told me I should ask the local fishermen about it, but those fuckers haven’t told me a thing. And, I don’t think a fish will actually get many anything cool, like pelts do.

This is correct.  But each animal has an inherent pelt rating (i.e. a given deer could have a 2 star pelt).  In order to maintain that inherent pelt quality, you have to kill them with the correct weapon and I believe you have to have a lethal shot (if you deadeye, you can see their vitals). 

There are a bunch of guide tables for each animal telling you what you need.  If you study the animal it will also tell you which weapon to use (as well as the pelt quality).

Some hard work on the challenges today.  Master Hunter is tough.  I am stuck on the challenge where you have to kill 5 cougars with a bow. 

Also, the sharp shooter challenge where you have to shoot birds from a moving train is harder than it was in RDR1, because they won’t let you ride around on the top of the train.  They get super pissed.

Some hard work on the challenges today.  Master Hunter is tough.  I am stuck on the challenge where you have to kill 5 cougars with a bow. 

Also, the sharp shooter challenge where you have to shoot birds from a moving train is harder than it was in RDR1, because they won’t let you ride around on the top of the train.  They get super pissed.

find an abandoned train or clear one out...then drive it yourself and hop on top?  Never done that but have seen the drive option.curious if you can start it and let it go

You can't let the train go, you have to be in the engineer position in order to move the train.  :shakesfist:

I couldn't get a lockbox open.  I tried dynamite, guns, throwing axe and knife.  Glitch?  It happened near Kamassa River in the Bayou.  Right above the "Y" in LEMOYNE on the map.

Gotta go to the guy ('Fence'??) that sells the lock breaker. I didnt have it when I came across the stolen stage coach with the rear lock box. Made a crafting camp on the spot and crafted an explosive round with a pistol and that blew the lock.

Later in the game I find food less often, find a lot more tobacco and gum. Cans of corn and stuff are great core replinshers. I have a harder time keeping my cores up than the ring around em.
Tons of big gun fights later in the game and it blows if you don't have anything on him.

Also, my almost 4 year old son loves watching me play.  He always wants me to hunt or go fishing.  He fully understands what a pelt is now.

Sad story:  I came across a robbery and a shooting happened that somehow killed my horse.  One-shot kill.   :cry:  I was in shock and it made my 4 year old pretty bummed.

Yeah - my horse is really the only thing I care about in the game.

I got mixed up in some rough business in St. Denis yesterday where I accidentally grabbed a guy - I hoenstly didn't mean to - and got a small bounty for assault.  During my escape, the cops went APE and started shooting at me (it was like a $10 bounty!).  Anyway, they brought down my warhorse, Doug, who I've been with since pretty early Ch. 2. 

So there I am, Doug is DOWN.  MY health is low.  Cops are on my ass.  I'm thinking that if I get killed before I revive Doug, Doug's a goner.  So I had to act quickly and perform a little revive on the steed, and told him to go on get, as I took off on foot (and eventually escaped by hiding amongst some corn fields outside of town).

I would have been devastated if I lost that big dumb horse.

I lost my longtime chapter 2/3 horse when I got gang ambushed driving a carriage to the fence. They shot both of the carriage horses, stopping it on the train tracks. Eventually a train came through during the firefight and plowed through the carriage and my horse, Sookiebear, died sometime during all that. No revival. I was crushed.

I know an irl cowboy who road a mule instead of a horse. a god damned mule. damndest thing you've ever seen. claimed that mule was as good or better than any horse. and you know what? I can't say it wasn't. also he was a tiny little guy (like 5'6") so maybe that made the mule a better fit for him.

this has been a real life cow farm story from steve dave who still doesn't own any video games.

I am the same way. Hardly any story and loads of rough ridin' around.  I do the challenges.  I stumbled upon a witches cabin thing, and drank the mysterious brew and ended up passing out and waking up later about 100 yards away.  No other cool witch effects tho.

I think if you "kill" most important NPCs, they'll come back later with a huge wound.  Like, I know that's how the trapper works for people that accidentally (?) kill him.  You spend the rest of the game seeing a giant hole in his chest whenever you need him to craft something.

This has been the hardest challenge for me thus far.  I am also struggling with he challenge to disarm 3 guys without reloading.

No NPCs.  All of that is done through holotapes.  Level up system involves you adding points to the SPECIAL skills but then you draw cards for the perks, so there really isn't much of a way to plan.  Nobody really interacts in multiplayer unless there is an event (which was taken from destiny).  You have eat and drink meters to keep full, not just health, which is pretty monotonous.

There is a 50gig update I'm downloading today so we'll see what tweeks they made.  It's not worth buying now but I'm hopeful they'll figure it out given their track record.

I love all the extra bits thrown in.  Got jumped by the nightfolk once while walking through the swamp.  Saw a corpse hanging from a tree, turned around to check it out, and boom, jumped and killed.

I went to a cabin up north of Rhodes where some inbred incest siblings invited me in and started to get me drunk.  It got weird and I shot them both, but I kind of wish I let it play out a bit longer.

I let it play out. It had a happy ending

A guy on Surly went back and tied up the woman and dumped her where Arthur was left and the woman started screaming and freaking out about 'mother'. Pretty cool attention to detail.

I got my wild Arabian horse last night from the far NW of the map.  It took about 30 seconds to break...not sure why everyone said it took an hour.

Also got my Legendary Buffalo at the same time.  Thank god the items get sent to trapper, because this was the second time I killed a Legendary animal in the water and couldn't skin.

I went up north to get the white horse a few days ago and it wouldn't spawn, so I killed the bison instead. It was my first legendary animal, I've completely ignored them thus far. Think that's what I'm going to work on over the break.

The bonex arrives today too  :)

I’ve killed lots of legendary animals. Grizzly, bison, Fox, wolf, moose, maybe another one or two. I’ve never done anything with any of the pelts though.

So i've only took out a couple legendary animals as i came across them. I think i want to focus on that more this weekend. What is the best strategy once i kill one? Do i skin it and immediately ride back to Trapper, or Pearson? I read that it's a good idea to upgrade your satchel with Pearson, or maybe that is regarding perfect pelts...not legendary.

Take Legendary pelts to the trapper and he can make special garments.  The trapper also needs “perfect” pelts for most garments.  Pearson needs perfect pelts.

The funny thing is that legendary pelts are actually easier to get than most perfect pelts.  For perfect pelts, you have to locate a three out of three star animal, AND get them with a clean kill with the proper sized weapon.  Like a head shot from a sniper rifle on a buffalo, or a headshot from a varmant rifle for a beaver.

Do the legendary animals respawn after you kill them? Or once it's killed, it's gone forever?

Gone forever.  They are easy to kill, because you can shot them like a zillion times with any kind of gun you want and it doesn’t impact the pelt quality.

Ducks have fat too!  Also, try some moonshine/shotgun shell combos.  Those doozies are fun.  However, they burn up whatever you kill...can't loot a dude after you smoke him with one of those.

Personally I just get involved in doing other in game things and then every now and then go and continue the story.  I'm currently exploring the parts of the map that are available right now (accidentally finding gang hideouts) and hunting legendary animals.

I'm in chapter 6, and it's really good. End of chapter 4 and start of 5 get really nuts and, as an FYI to others, are pretty long and force you to keep doing story missions. You can tell when you are approaching the end of 4, so just know that you'll need probably 2 hours or so before you can get back to an open world and hunt and crap.

I approached from east of the lake, went around the north side, and headed south on the trail along the western bank of the lake. For me, it was between the trail and the lake, not long after I crossed the northern edge and headed south on the trail.

It is kind of amazing how long it takes the game to ramp up.  I thought I had advanced pretty far at one point and realized I hadn't learned how to fish yet in Chapter 2.   :ROFL:

I thought I was nearing the end of the story in chapter 3 and then someone said they were in Chapter 6.  So it got me pretty excited to see what all is going to happen to drag this thing on.

No, I made it through all of that.  I probably need to push through on some of the missions to see if it gets going a little more.  Right now, seems like the only way to make decent money is to snuff out fools and rob them.

Anyone play fortnight? I started playing back in March after seeing all the cool college kids talking about it and love it.

If I'm playing by myself I usually play some Disco Domination or whatever game mode they have with 2 large teams to work on my killing/building. If I'm playing with a buddy we will do some duo's/Squads.

Really like how they update the map every couple of months and add new things. Hit me up with your "Gamer Tag" if you want to just dominate with me.

I finished the Epilogue this weekend.  I had pretty much all my side mission completed.  I've found all the rock carvings, dinosaur bones, and dreamcatchers.  I've killed all the legendary animals and caught all the legendary fish (Spoiler Alert!...except the new 14th fish because everything I have read says it cannot be caught). 

I agree that there are some points throughout this game that makes no damn sense. 

1)  Why upgrade the camp?  Worthless.
2)  What happens if a person did not craft all the upgrade-able satchels from the butcher after Chapter 6?  Would they ever be able to get them/reap the benefits?  I guess at that point not a bid deal, right?

It had been so long since I played RDR1 that I was completely oblivious that RDR2 was the prequel.  I watched a timeline YouTube video that outlines the story from the two games.  I kind of wish they would remake RDR1 and improve the story a bit more.  Or maybe make a RDR3 focused on Jack Marston? 
Title: Re: Video games master thread

Spam the Calm button and keep yourself balanced.  Don’t wait for Calm icon to turn white while you get bucked.  Also, just stay balanced and don’t try to hit your acceleration button until he is broke.  Once he is chill and you can actually ride him, spam the left joystick until he is lvl 1 and will answer when you call him.

I finished the story and am settled in for the epilogue. I'm glad it's there just to finish up some side quests.

Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk

It will open up at least one more side quest as well.

I’ve found rdr2map.com to be helpful as I collect dinosaur bones and other stuff.



So i started to do all the challenges but couldn't do it. I ended up restarting the game. I'm currently in the 2nd chapter and plan on staying there for the foreseeable future. Going to try to do as many challenges and side quests as possible.
I am also beginning my second playthrough soon.

Currently have 66/90 challenges completed.  The last two of Gambler look pretty difficult.  Probably will save those for last.

I don't really like anthem. overly complicated and busy.

Any more details?  I played Destiny 1/2 but generally found them monotonous when leveling basically ended and grinding for guns began.  Also, the objectives in the large group raids were incredibly dumb. 

I have a week between jobs and also will be traveling for work.  Anthem is in the running to fill some of that down time.

Currently in Chapter 6 of RDR2 and I've been taking my time because I like playing as Arthur and wasn't ready to play as John...  But now that Arthur is dieing, I'm considering pushing through just to get to John...  What are the main differences between playing as the two?  Can John still not swim?

Playing with Arthur at the end sucked because of his sickness and the fact he is wanted in 50% of the map.  He also ate up too many resources.

That being said, once you switch to John you lose all plants and stuff you may have in your bags.  You eventually get Arthur's weapons back, but have to push through Epilogue 1 before you do.

If you've played you probably by now have seen how much better '19 is. It's the first video game I've gotten hooked on since NCAA Football. My only frustration is that MLS is completely unplayable, it's stunning how awful they have the player ratings and how that translates to how playable the game is.

The kids bought me Fifa19 for Christmas and I've yet to pop it in due to all my limited video game time going to Red Dead.  Might have to pop it in tonight. Last fifa I played was '15 or '16.

GET YOUR TEETH OUT, TIME TO HUNT for the way to select them. 

Quote
To do this, head to your loadout screen and scroll down to the gun that you've got a blueprint for. You'll see that just to the right of the weapon itself is a link to the Armory, select that, and you'll bring up the various Blueprints you have for that weapon.

Modern Warfare question:  What's your favorite, non-ground war, map?  I only play hardcore, so I miss out on a couple of good ones, but I like Ramaaza and Gun Runner (the mining place with trains) the most. 

I read where a few old ones are coming back. Crash is one that I used to love, and am excited for.

The ROM is just a copy of the data from the cartridge/board/etc it originated from.  The emulator then uses that to allow you to play the game.  There are emulators for a bunch of old systems and most of the games come from an open source.  There are a bunch of websites that have ROMs and you can find basically any game you want.

Adrian Carmack is one of four co-founders of id Software, along with Tom Hall, John Romero, and John Carmack (no relation). The founders met while working at Softdisk's Gamer's Edge division and started id in 1991. Adrian Carmack's primary role at the company was as an artist, including work on Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Hexen: Beyond Heretic, Quake, Quake II and Quake III Arena. Nice guy, but he has a hell of a slice on his drives and can't putt for crap.

Adrian Carmack's primary role at the company was as an artist, including work on Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Hexen: Beyond Heretic, Quake, Quake II and Quake III Arena. Nice guy, but he has a hell of a slice on his drives and can't putt for crap.
Wow!

Ask him how pissed off he is about this

He was a 41%-owner of id until he left the company in 2005. At the time the press was told he felt he had done all he could do in the gaming field and was planning to pursue his passions of art. However, in September 2005, The Wall Street Journal revealed he was taking his former business partners to court, claiming he was effectively fired by them in an attempt to force him to sell his 41% stake in the company for $11 million under the terms of a contract he wants the court to nullify. $11 million is thought to be a fraction of the true value of his stake, which is thought to be closer to $43 million after the company received a $105 million bid from Activision in 2004.[2]

And ask if you can chill at his golf spa deal

In September 2014, Carmack was revealed as the new owner of the five-star Heritage Golf & Spa Resort in Killenard, Ireland.[4]

Mostly ask him how TF he bought an irish golf and spa resort with only $11m. Assume he raked elsewhere from Doom to do so. or got a nice 30 year mortgage.

You don't realize how hard wired your brain is to see Mario levels move from left to right. But playing this thing was totally mumped up like looking at an unbelievable optical illusion or something.

Anyone else have this game or play prior versions?  Does it get better?

I've played Crusader Kings 2. It was overwhelming at first, but once you figure it out, it's really not that bad. It needs to be as complicated as it is to pull off what it attempts to do, really.

My soon-to-be 13 year old is very serious about this stuff, and will likely have his heart set on the X for Christmas.  I might just ask for the S if there isn't a clear difference in the games that it can push.  I don't care about the hard drive size, because I almost never have need of more than 2 games on my machine at any given time (usually just 1 at a time).

So something that is interesting is this generation is you can almost count on Overwatch 2 be cross-platform with the expansion of esports. I think almost every shooter except halo and gears of war will be available on PS5. Soooo if you don't play either of those I would say that you would wanna stick to PS5 since your library is their and will crossover into the next gen. They also just announced the new God of War so that will be pretty cool.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the price drop by $50 or so.

well, right now they are the same price as always.

source: my son dropped ours and it won't connect to the internet or controllers anymore so I had to buy a new one and now we have two but one is hand held only.

Super Smash Bros is incredibly confusing.  I usually feel like I'm kicking tons of ass and then I lose every time.  What do those percentages mean?
Title: Re: Video games master thread
Post by: chum1 on September 24, 2020, 08:50:43 AM
Like, I just remember playing OG Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat. By comparison, Super Smash Bros is incredibly complicated. But also so fun! I've been learning little by little.

You can change many of the settings in tons of different ways. Normally, the higher the percentage, the more damage you've taken. Big guys can usually take more damage than little guys. It's difficult to know when someone will be eliminated, though. You can get a huge hit on someone with 187% damage and be like, "surely, that got 'em," and then nope.

Tips for those that are new to smash bros, learn to parry. Parrying will make you seem like a god among men, you parry correctly and you sort of stun your enemy temporarily for a few free hits or go into a combo starter.

Also learning how to charge attacks and time perfectly. You will get better the more often you choose a character. I also recommend getting a real controller as the joycon's suck and lack control.

I mean I run the game through pokernow and know everyone in the game personally.  A couple conspiracy minded people have quit after getting rivered, but it has a legit random number generator probably better than some half drunk idiot shuffling at your home game and probably as good as a casino auto shuffler. 

The biggest problems with online for me are the outrageous fees charged for deposits and withdrawls on the off shore sites and the rake.  I agree the HUDs and bots make it difficult to win as well at low stakes, so I decided to run a game myself with no rake.

Yeah the setup works well, I have people venmo me and we use the free online site.   We have a zoom.  Not everyone joins, so if someone is not on the zoom and if it is a big pot occasionally the person will share what they have and we will sweat, but no one is colluding I feel very confident about that as I know all the people.  I would be pretty upset if people were sharing hands.

a few very annoying among us developments:

1) people using the emergency meeting thing to troll, especially at the beginning

2) people teaming up to murder everyone

3) people texting their friends who killed them to cheat

also, it feels like I never get to be impostor and I checked my starts and I was slightly below what it should be but about right.

i noticed the xbox series x charge hit my CSR yesterday and sure enough the series x shipped last night

I sold mine $300 profit.  Never even opened the box.  Let us know if it's worth the upgrade.

Be playing COD CW all night tonight

Also just got a free Stadia thing from Google.  Anybody know if anything is any good on that?

I had a friend super pumped when Stadia came out and preordered.  He hated it once it arrived.  I wouldn't have high hopes.

It's like all the pain of being in the Ticketmaster queue for a concert that sells out before you get through (looking at you Radiohead 2012 Sprint Center) except that you know they are going to slowly release tickets on 7 different websites over the next 5 months, and you'll probably get one eventually but you're going to sit through that queue and fail repeatedly, and then when you finally get a ticket you're going to show up in the middle of the 5th song.

My kid wants an xbox and I don't do video games so I have no idea. Apparently I'm not getting the new one since they are sold out and everyone is yelling about it on Twitter. Should I just get the Xbox One S and call it a day? He's like 8 so he won't even know the difference. Is there a chance of getting the new one before Santa comes with the minimal effort I will put towards finding one? Are there any significant issues with getting the One S since he is young and by the time he cares there will be another new console out anyway? Also, where should I get one and why do they still cost the same as the new version that everyone wants?

Thanks for the tips.

1. He’ll know the difference at 8, one of his bad person friends will have the new one
2. The Xbox is easier to get than the PS5.
3. Blame Greg

If he's 8, go for the switch first or whatever his friends have as a backup. The switch is portable and has the Nintendo exclusives which are generally great for kids. The other differences between all of them don't matter. A one S is probably sub $200 right now if it's still available. I bought one for like $180 3 years ago.

Bought a One S at Costco this morning. If I can score the new one I'll just take this one back. If not, oh wells. Irritated I basically paid full price for an old system though. Stores still seem to be squeezing you on the Xbox Ones knowing the new ones are sold out everywhere. Price is going to crash hard on the old ones after Christmas I would imagine. From my research, he will be fine with the One S. Regardless of the difference in graphics, it will be way better playing Fifa on this than a Switch. Looking forward to him playing it once every two months while it sits there next to his Switch!!!!!

Yeah, I don't know how any of this works, but he will only be allowed to play with his friends. I'm not sure any of them even play online right now either so it won't matter. We have a pretty strict no weirdos rule with all online activity. Can't watch random people on youtube, no chatting on anything, etc.

Sorry! Spent the Friday after Thanksgiving painstakingly assembling it. It wasn't too bad, but I'm also the kind of person who likes putting together IKEA furniture. I did leave a huge mess of packaging in my wake. It's great! Although, I still haven't figured out why I can't access the online stuff (ERROR: cannot connect to the server). Don't care enough to figure out what's wrong, as I don't really care about that/those feature(s).

The game deck seems to be of good quality. The joysticks are solid and have some resistance to them. They seem like they will last. Other than that, the games are the games. The shot timing is a bit different than the one I used to own, but you get used to it. Happy to answer any specific questions you may have, but if you're on the fence I would say go for it.

Didn’t like the pc controls so I got a seX and this game is very fun! In my old age I much prefer getting blazed on the couch with a huge screen and theater sound system to the pc.

Went full gross marathon mode over new years weekend. In 35ish hours I've had a handful of graphical glitches and 2 hard crashes though. It's disappointing, but not game breaking.

I recommend playing 4v4 for a while and get used to the chaos. Then when you get back to 3v3, it seems easier

I’m gonna be honest with you guys for a minute. If I had 5 minutes alone with the ball I could maybe get it in a goal 1 time. In order for this to work I would need lil kk on my team and lil sd on kks team.

Wife and I got into our first minor argument in like a decade last night over NBA Jam. She says "it's a waste of money and space, you'll never play it and you only want it because your goEMAW friends have it!" I was all  :curse: then I said "only one guy on goEMAW has it and he doesn't even like me!"

I told her that me and the kids will play it a lot because you only have to dedicate 10 minutes to it. She felt bad and now I think she's out getting it for me right now! :excited:

I just checked in on this thread for the first time in 4eva because I'm still trying to solve this mystery:

I don't know why I was told, but I was told that a mysgift I'm getting was going to be released on 12/15 and that I'd be getting it by 12/25.  Since I'm being told that clue anyway, I figure I'm being encouraged to solve this.

What things were to be released yesterday that it could be?

And the new clue is that while it was supposed to be released yesterday, "they still have not done it."

I already asked and was told no as far as it maybe being my own pfizer microchip set.

EDIT: in the original clue, it was to be shipping to the giver by 12/19 and brought to me by 12/25.

Since that post, I've learned it's from gamestop, that it was inspired by something we talked about (of which nba jam arcade was one but that it wouldn't fit), and that she got notice that the bigger more expensive one came available briefly recently but the one she ordered because it's smaller is still unavailable (and that it's not an Xbox s).

I've looked at everything gamestop sells and I don't want any of it except nba jam, contingent on me renovating my place and seeing it wouldn't be absurd to have it here.

I still play Civ 5 all the time.  Civ 6 is so cartoonish, it really disappoints me.

I play fallout shelter in my car for about 5 minutes every morning when I drop off my kids. If my people are really unhappy, I may get back to the house and sit in the car for a few more minutes just to make more power, food, and stuff to make them a little happier.  :gocho:

There have been two expansions that changed the game pretty significantly prior to this last round of updates.

But over the past year they have had a "frontier pass" where they have a paid content update and a free update on alternating months. It's basically an expansion released over a full year which has been really fun. A handful of new civs with fun and unique play styles, a few new game modes that you can turn on or off. The game modes are stuff like one you can recruit heros like Hercules or king Arthur who are super strong and have special abilities. Hercules can insta build districts or insta-destruct enemy districts. Another mode gives the barbarians new mechanics including allowing them to eventually turn a barb camp into a city-state if you choose to help them.

The last paid update comes out today, it has Portugal as the new civ and a zombie game mode that kinda looks dumb tbh. The last free update is next month I believe, and will focus on balance changes for the old civs.

Overall, the game is so much different than when it came out.

YES. I tell my kids to set it up and let me know when it's time to start playing.  That way I miss all the stupid boring stuff they do beforehand and just arrive at game time.

I've been playing Cyberpunk.  I was going to hold out for the alleged eventually Series X optimization updates, but went ahead and got it and played it on a Series X anyway. It's a fun game.  I suppose they have had plenty of time to patch it at this point, because i think it's been mostly pretty great with not too many glitches...no more than Skyrim, for example. 

Most of the time I just cruise around looking for people who need their heads to be cut off with my Katana.

I don't think you are going to see "reasonable" prices on GPU's anytime soon.  Best luck is to get a low hash rate GPU that miners turn their noses up at.  AMD has good ones around $500 or so.

My understanding is that both regular and Arena use skill based matchmaking. The difference is that Arena is full of try-hards. Based on what I've seen, I'll need to progress a lot more to be competitive with the try-hards. That's why it is appealing to me.

I'm in. My pc/controller setup hasn't been working for a few days. So, I need to wait until it fixes itself before I can play.

I've been playing some fortnite the last couple of years with my younger brother and we got my dad to start playing squads with us. He is godawful but we mainly just hide in bushes and chat until there are only a couple of people left then send my dad out as bait while my brother and I ambush the remaining players.

Over the last year I have easily spent more time talking with my dad/brother while playing fortnite than I have on the phone.

Who wants to hear an OG video game troll story?!?

So the year is around 2000 and my dad/brother and I loved playing the computer game Red Alert online with our dial up internet connection. We discovered that if you played the map "A path Beyond" and played as the soviets you could just build a crap ton of submarines right off the jump, hide them all over the water that surrounds the map then destroy your submarine pen so the other player has no idea.

They would destroy your base and hunt down all your units on the land but still couldn't win unless they found all of your submarines which could take hours all the while you are sending them messages about how they missed one single soldier hiding in the tree's.

Eventually they would quit and we would get the W.

COD Modern Warfare’s new system for unlocking guns and attachments is interesting…at first I was grumpy about it, but I think I kinda like it now.  For each type of attachment, like a given scope or type of ammunition, it forces you to level up a certain gun. So, I wanted a specific ACOG scope, and I have to level up 2 different guns to unlock that scope, then I can use that scope on all weapons.

The other day before I started on COD clams was like “I am busy leveling up my guns,” and I was like “man, that does not sound like clams, I wonder what is up?”  WELL NOW I KNOW! go cats.

ATTENTION COD DMZ PLAYERS

@pissclams and other Call of Dutiers:

COD is resetting all progress on missions next Thursday.  So, that means if you are still try to unlock that second insured weapon slot, you better bust ass on getting those Black Mous, White Lotus, and Legion tiers 1-3 missions complete.

HOWEVER, there are internet blogs saying that the next gen missions will be easier to unlock, but do we really KNOW that?  No.  No we do not.

I didn’t get the second slot unlocked in time. I went hard, but in the end the “exfill with $100K” and $200k, and the hunt contract eluded me. I managed to solo get a weapons case tho! That wasn’t easy.

Completing a hunt contract solo is very very hard (impossible?)

I’ve killed an entire squad by myself multiple times, but that was when I could surprise them. On a hunt contract they know you are coming and when you are close. Need a salty 3 man squad or grab two more randos and make a 5 man.

That game is so good, especially experiencing it the first time.  After the first play through people will burn through chapters in roughly 40 minutes (speed runs, not trying to collect everything).  There really wasn’t a part in the game i didn’t enjoy.  My advice would be just enjoy it as you go, and you shouldn’t be disappointed.  Some levels/chapters can take some time navigating.

I’d rather not know what’s coming on the version I’m interacting with. I’ve picked up enough to know they’re going to be interacting with others on their way, but it’s mostly just about the two of them, so something has to happen with the others. I’d rather find out in the game if I’m going to have to kill them or not rather than in the show.

Went here this afternoon for a team building event with coworkers and it was awesome.

https://www.flipswitchvr.com/

Basically VR zombie blasting 24/7/365 and you have elevators and stuff where you all have to get on at the same time. 10/10 would recommend as a work event or older 12+ kid bday party.

We reserved 2 hours and that was plenty. Each "Game/Level" lasts around 20 minutes and its you and 3 other bro's/broette's just blasting zombies and other obstacles with VR guns then taking a sip of beers to celebrate each victory.

bummer, just totally give up?  I really enjoyed the 2018 one a few months ago

I might try it again after Spider-Man because 20 minutes is definitely not the best way to judge a game, but the intro totally bored me. I couldn't wait to get to a save point so I could leave.

I am about 75% done with GOW Ragnarok and I 100%ed the first one. The second one took me a bit to get into but after the big opening reveal it had me firmly by the balls.

I tried to play Breath of the Wild I simply don't have the attention span for it. I was able to get the titans or whatever they are called but couldn't beat ganon. I also wasn't able to pull the master sword because of the amount of hearts I had. It's a great game and I see the appeal but it is truly frustrating.

The mistake would be letting him play it, but not learning to play it yourself. Especially if you have two systems that you can play on at the same time.

Nicname Jr started playing in late 2017 or so. I spent a lot of time cheering him on, watching etc., but never spent the time to actually learn to play. The game is not easy for non-gamers to pickup, and I didn’t figure they’d still be playing it 6 or so years later.

You’ll have a lot of opportunities for teamwork and great memories, especially if you also learn to play.

Don’t spread your level up points around. Decide to either have a badass ship situation, or be a planet based shooter, or sciencey or habitaty.  You use those points to unlock the category and then inside the category you still need to use the same points to unlock skills inside a given category. I didn’t realize that and spread mine too thin across areas.

I'm finally a NBA Jam'r wife got it for my birthday, I put it together last night. Holy hell I'm rusty. I'm going to have to look up the cheats online, like the big head. I never knew how to do that before.

haha. Welcome to the club. If you ever figure out the online thing, let me know and we can JAM. I wonder if those servers are even still operating.

I am online and my tag is the same as my twitter, MJ_from_Kansas

It appears I will need to find a customer service number or something, because my stuff don't work.

Yeah, it was super easy, I just push that live button and it told me exactly what to do.

I finally assembled mine today. :lol:

Still getting the hang of it, but its pretty great. I was actually a bit better without the golf attachment I think, but it feels a little more like real golf using it. Makes me laugh when my VR slice resembles my real life one.

Nice, my bro did this for a bit. He built 3 or 4 and sold them all. No one ever played for the most part, but they were really cool. I enjoyed a game of excite bike every once in a while. Bought Lil SF a Blitz game that also just sits in my basement.  :curse:

If I were going to build one, I'd put a kegerator into the empty space at the bottom, with a tap sticking out and cupholders hanging off to the sides so I could get slammed while playing NBA Jam. That way the darned thing would get used, I tell you what.

I’m building a pedestal that stands in front of a TV. I’m not building a full cabinet. I’m also building it in pieces so I can move it semi-easily. I’m sure it will end up at work some. Maybe some school fundraisers. We have a 4th of July weekend at my cousin’s every year at his pool/large covered patio with TV. There’s a bunch of kids there. I’m sure it will be there the next couple summers.

I know it won’t get used a lot, but it will be fun to build & have.
