Jenksismyhero Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Anyone buy Civ 5? So far so good. I like some of the tweaks they made from Civ IV. But there seems to be a lot of graphical issues, at least with my set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) I'm going to try the demos. I LOVED NBA Live and NBA Jam made me think about getting a Wii, but if Elite controls poorly, I'll probably go 2k11. The NBA 2k11 doesn't even include all the new controls, so I don't know why they released it. However, blocking shots has never been more fun. I slapped a Rondo layup clear across half-court with Bynum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 05:11 PM) Had that jersey in red(50th anniversary), but I've always wanted the shoes and could never find them in my size. I still have the shoes. They are really heavy for some reason. They almost feel like boots. I haven't worn them in a long time because the sole started to come off on one of them.

I was only answering the post as originally typed. I've never owned a FIFA game, nor do I plan to given my distaste for the game of soccer. It's my experience that games like Dead Rising 2 you can defeat within a rented amounts' time, while a sports game keeps you entertained for a calendar year.

It's my experience that games like Dead Rising 2 you can defeat within a rented amounts' time, while a sports game keeps you entertained for a calendar year. True, but like I said, I already have FIFA 09 and I'm not sure FIFA 11 has enough content to make me upgrade. I love sports games, you can put in as much or as little time as you choose. You can pick them up at any time and play. But, they're easy to master. If Dead Rising 2 has enough replay value, it can be comparable. If you pre order it from Game Stop, you get a code for a ninja outfit. I rarely have a chance to purchase a brand new game, I'm burned out on Madden or NCAA Football, so I won't be dropping $60 on either. I want to make a good choice for me that I won't regret with the $60 I have to spend. Edited September 23, 2010 by JPN366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, I was all pumped up about MLB2K10 when the real baseball season started.. after I got my fill, it was time to move on.. same thing with NCAA11 and Madden11.. as soon as football starts winding down I will be all played with those games..

Yeah, it's hard to get into a sports game when the season has ended. I'm on my third year of playing MLB 2K8, I have no problem keeping an older version of a sports game. So if I upgraded to FIFA 11 from FIFA 09, there would have to be a reason that trumps Dead Rising 2's appeal. I still need a concensus, I can only buy one and I never got to play the first Dead Rising because I have a PS3, not an XBOX 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm looking for fun factor for my $60. I already own FIFA 09, which I got used for $18. I doubt that I want to invest $60 in a slight upgrade to a game I already own. Whereas, Dead Rising 2 seems to have a major and unique fun factor to it. Basically, I need to be convinced that I should buy FIFA 11 over Dead Rising 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
