DrunkBomber Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I had 2k12 and really liked the create a player mode for the most part. I finally got on the Bulls only to have Rose traded for Russell Westbrook. So I finally got on a team good enough to make it to the finals and everytime I played game 7 it froze right after the game and you cant sim past key games so I just traded it in for Arkham City.

lostfan Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 NBA 2K12 is awesome. Derrick Rose is impossible to guard. My stepdaughter plays as the Bulls all the time and she has him blow right by my defender (I like to play OKC). Speaking of OKC, Durant can't miss a shot, and I have trouble hitting shots with Westbrook. Just like the real Westbrook I guess, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Even WWE12 got a 9 from IGN. Very comparable to the old WWF No Mercy game apparently (used to love that on the N64 back in the day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Captain Price be the one video game character who has seen the most "friendlies" die around him? Reckon he'd be right up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 A bit of advice on Skyrim: Do NOT go into the Temple of Xrib. You find it as a "sightless pit" ...and it is a pit. You can't exit the damned thing without fighting your way through to the other side. As a lower level guy (level 8-9) I went into it and spent HOURS fighting my way out. That sucked, a lot. I almost threw my controller through the TV since my previous save was over 6 hours of game time in the past. Not sure why they can't fix the damned save system. Why do I have to waste 10 seconds every 10 minutes to save? Why not just do it automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play on PC like you're supposed to do with Skyrim (or any other Elder Scrolls game), you don't have any issue with the save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought Oblivion twice...once for PS3 then later for PC. It's bought later because then 1) I can run it 2) Great Mods at that point Plus, I just like a controller more.

I thought about it, but it doesn't translate as well. And I like sitting on my couch and playing, not hunched over my laptop. For me, the controller is more natural, but I will end up getting Skyrim for PS3 and PC (getting it tonight for PS3), because of the Mods like Silgrad Tower, Morroblivion, Tamriel-Rebuilt, etc. Edited November 21, 2011 by Quinarvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree. Unfortunately the $800+ for a computer good enough to run it versus $60 just to buy the game for PS3 was a tough sell for the wife.

TheBlackSox8 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 going to agree on the mouse+keyboard. I don't see how you can play with a controller at all for skyrim. I'm able to run it on high settings with no problem. The game looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Ok skyrim nerds, why do you need a keyboard? More controls? I know little about the game, but I don't see why it would be such a difference. I personally like the freedom of a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know little about the game, but I don't see why it would be such a difference. I personally like the freedom of a controller. Personally I'm much more comfortable using a keyboard/mouse setup. Much more control in combat, etc. However, the real reason you play Skyrim on PC and nothing else is because of the mods that have been released and will be released. As with all Elder Scroll games, the modding community can really go nuts and create some great mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the complete opposite, I hate using thumbsticks for those type of games, I just feel a whole lot more in control with the mouse. Each to their own I suppose.
