I recently went into game stop and talked to one of their employees. We discussed such games as assasains creed. There will be a new one released in november ? i think that was when he said. Online play will be on the game.
Ncaa football and Madden are screwing us over so bad. If you want to buy the game, and play online. Your going to have to pay 75$. Its like an extra package and its absolute bulllllshiiiitttt.

I heard it comes with the game new, but it can only be used once, so if you buy a used copy you have to pay for the code to play online with them.

its like 10 or 15 extra bucks or something i think.

YEAH, but only if you buy the game used.  New games will come with a code that works once to unlock online gaming. rental games will have 7 days free.

I like this.  Figure it will make used games cheaper to make up for the $10 you'll have to spend.  Bonus for me who doesnt play much online

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.

you have to start playing Red Dead immediately.  it's awesome.

2 Xbox questions:

1.  I cannot save my progress in any game, it says I have to have attached or inserted some memory device?  What the shazbot! does that mean, the console will not save?  Once I have this issue resolved, I will buy and play RDR which brings me to my second question;

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?

TIA

1. You need a hard drive or a memory stick.  I think USB sticks may work now, too.

ya just go to eb games in westport and grab a memory module thing that pops into the front of the xbox.  sounds like your bro didn't buy one with a hard drive attached and they are really expensive if you buy them seperately so don't go back and buy one now.

you can use usb drives now. i havent done it but its a feature they added recently. but make sure the drive is empty because i think it gets formatted by the 360 before it can use it

only up to 16gb though. and flash drives are recommended over standard hard drives.

[kstatefreak42]

Your all right about the NCAA football franchise. I agree 100%. But with a new game engine I just have to try it out. Even if it does mean wasting my $$$$$

[ew2x4]

Not sure if you're aware of this, but Blockbuster rents games.

Just make sure that you save "Remember my Family" mission for the end (at least 90% completion) or you will be caught off guard.  This is the last mission.

Just finished the last mission. Holy crap. I'm kinda pissed and sad, not gonna lie.

It takes place at the farm, and the bros are involved.

I was too. I went on a rampage after.  Killed everything and everyone I saw for a while.  FUN!

I almost don't even want to finish out the challenges and what not...I need to get better at Duels as well. Can't get the dead eye down.

Can you continue to roam around after you finish the game? No spoilers please!

[kitten_mittons]

Yeah, [spoiler]but you have to play as his son, who is a gigantic loser.[/spoiler]

[Saulbadguy]

I'm finally wrapping up the challenges. I need to find 2 of each remaining flowers/herbs and am like rank 7 on sharpshooting. Time to kill some bears with 1 shot! Might go back and play some missions and get a better medal or w/e.

[Saulbadguy]

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)

[dmartin]

finally picked this game up friday and started playing.  I apparently get distracted from the story way to easily and spent over an hour just shooting deer.
