witesoxfan Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) Dawnguard, the first DLC for Skyrim is out on Xbox today. Looks pretty awesome. I haven't downloaded it yet but plan to in the near future. How near depends upon how much that extra $10 is worth to me. It actually hasn't been getting great reviews (I've been seeing a lot of 8's), but I think that's because Elder Scrolls and Bethesda always set the bar so high that when it doesn't meet the gaudy expectations they've set for themselves, people are disappointed. I'm sure it's loads of fun and they even give you two paths to take too (replayability!11!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Anybody who has MLB 12 The Show, I have questions... How often can you download roster updates and do they give you accurate renditions of new players? Does Oakland have their yellow jerseys?

danman31 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I know we have at least a few Assassin's Creed fans on here. This demo video blew me away. Usually the story trailers get me excited for AC games, but this time around it's definitely the gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Steam is having their huge summer sale, in case anyone didn't know. Tons of games 50-80% off. Tons of games under $5. I bought Toy Soldiers for $2.50, and Tropico 4 Bundle for $16. So I spent $18.50 to get $75 worth of games. Not bad. I suggest some of you PC gamers check it out, TONS of deals that are only daily.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My player mode as a pitcher is so damn fun! I just made my very first guy ever, in any of the mlb games, and I must say its been the most fun ive had playing a game in quite some time. I made it to the bigs after 12 starts in my 2nd year. Never gave up more than 3 runs in the minors, first game up I give up 3 straight singles, Beckham pulls PK off the bag and a run scores then I serve up a granny to Miguel Cabrera...shnit got intense. Also, anyone know where my sig came?? Anyone wanna make me a better one...does steve wander this board?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, off the top of my head, I think my line up in 2013 is..... Gerardo Parra Micheal Young Joe Mauer Adam Dunn Paul Konerko Dayan Viciedo Alexei Ramirez Nate Sheirholtz Gordon Beckham Chris Sale John Danks R.A. Dickey ????? Nestor Molina I can't remember who my 4th starter is. I only play with Sale, Dickey, and Molina. Pitching with Danks and the 4th starter bore me, and I want to try and get through multiple seasons, so i only play AWAY games as well.

It's the first move I make every year I buy The Show! It's always Rios for Parra. I love OFers with big arms, and my OF of Viciedo, Parra, and Sheirholtz is just deadly. I throw runners out all over the diamond. Edited July 31, 2012 by JoeCoolMan24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Nick f***ing Blackburn is throwing a 2-hitter against me in The Show right now. This game is SOOO hard to hit in! Every once in a while I will dominate a great pitcher, but I get shut out most of the time. I have to be last in runs scored like every year.

Quin Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Why Mass Effect 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. This reminded me how much I love ME2. The story was ungodly great. I loved all those characters. Felt pain when Ashley turned her back on Horizon. None of my squad died, but I was terrified that they would. All the characters became people. Mordin: Silly, quirky doctor to deeply troubled man trying to atone for his actions. Thane: Badass looking assassin to dying father trying to find his son. Jacob: Standard soldier to a boy raised with no father and someone who becomes your teammate, not Cerberus's hired gun. Grunt: Super-krogan to a newborn with no place to call his home. Jack: Crazy murderer to abused child from birth. Kasumi: Thief to someone who saw her lover die. Legion: A Geth sent to copy Shepard, to a being that helped fight it's own kind because they were Reaper controlled. Miranda: Hot b**** in charge to a person trying to live up to Daddy's demands of perfection and ended up saving her sister, who she never knew. Samara: Space police to tortured mother. Zaeed: Mercenary to...angry mercenary. Ok, not much for him. But I was mad when Miranda, Thane, Jack, and Kasumi couldn't be squadmates in 3. The rest of the characters...it made sense. But Miranda couldn't be there because Cerberus still existed...well, what better way to kill them then with Shepard. Thane said he was dying...but he went acrobatically crazy when he fought Kai Leng. Jack gets saved, then can't come with me to watch after her kids...who I sent to work on the Crucible. And Kasumi was just like "naaaah." But when Mordin died, when Legion sacrificed himself, when Thane died, it hurt. It really hurt that I was powerless to prevent it. And that's why ME3's ending sucks. No closure. Still haven't seen extended, because I'm waiting for Leviathan and need to get my Galactic Readiness back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've been playing FIFA 12 exclusively for the last 6 months and I am completely addicted. The dynasty mode is really something else once you dive into it. I sim 2 out of every 3 regular season games and play all cup/tourney games just to get through more seasons. I've learned a TON about world soccer and its format while playing the game. Just a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played it, but I really like the idea. It's a cool idea with a few issues. Basically it's a hardcore military simulator (Arma II) set in a zombie apocalypse ($30 total on Steam). There are no missions or quests or even goals in the game other than to survive. You're thrown into a huge map with some towns and lots of wilderness and you just explore. You start off with very little (i.e., no weapons or food and just a few medical supplies) so you need to scavenge to stay alive. Obviously, you also need to evade zombies, which are everywhere. The kicker is that once you die, you die. You don't respawn, you start over with nothing. Also, you play on public servers with other people...and those other people can either help you or just shoot you in the face and steal your stuff. I've played several hours at this point, just to feel it out. No other game gives you the same sense of fear/apprehension. Not only because of the zombies and some of the music, but also because the stakes are so high. At the same time I think there will be a LOT of people turned off by the idea that you could play for so long and then be killed be a human player and all your work goes to waste. I'm hoping to get a few of my friends to join so we can play in a small group and explore together. That's where this game could be a huge success - a Left 4 Dead meets Borderlands meets an MMO.

I've seen a lot of people write that when they play the game, they are more afraid of the other people playing the game than the zombies. I think would be a good reflection of what would really happen. This game has over a million people playing it, so you will probably see a bunch of other games coming out like this. Which could good or bad depending how well those games are done. I don't play games on PC, but i've been thinking about trying this one out.

danman31 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 My one problem with DayZ is that you're so lost when you start off. I wish they would give you some help because if they really want to make it hardcore the character would have some experience with the area and whatever events led to that point. I watched some video of it and thought it was too intimidating. Looks really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
