Running video games (and consoles) thread

Mmmmhmmm. Got the pack that came with all of the expansions a couple of years ago. Took me a bit to get used to, but very fun.

 

It had never really even been on my radar - Skyrim and Game of Thrones (the show and books, not the game) were my first non-Tolkien foray into fantasy nerd-dom. But I saw Origins described as "the closest thing to a Game of Thrones video game" and was sold.

I had hoped to get the edition you got, Matt. But I'm not going to complain for $7.

 

So, anyone picking NCAA up today?

 

I am. Looking forward to it.

 

Same. Pre-ordered yesterday to get by bonus from Best Buy. After I get done with my feature this evening, I'll pick it up. First time, long time I haven't picked it up at midnight. I'm getting too old to stay up late at 26.

 

Might pick it up tonight, might wait until the weekend. It depends what time I get done with work and the gym. I'm curious to hear what others think of it. Mostly, I just want it to not suck. I haven't gotten an NCAA since 10, so damnit, this better be worth it!

 

Not buying it....might be enticed after playing with a friend who was season ticket later....but last year's had so many bugs and froze so often during recruiting/saving that I'm still sour on the entire product. Lost two dynasties with more than 10 hours put in, the second with a back-up save file in case it bugged out again, to no avail.

 

Never had any of those issues with 13.

I'm picking my copy up later today sometime. I still owe GameStop a whopping $1.16 for it.

 

i'm torn between going to Toys R Us today to pick it up and get the $25 gift card, or seeing if someone else has a good deal Sunday. Seems the last couple of times I bought on release day, someone was selling it for $20 less the following Sunday. I'm hesitant about the Toys R Us deal because I can't think of any other reason to go there to use the card (I can't imagine they'll carry GTA V).

 

I had a few freeze-ups with 13, especially when simming part of a game. But I never had it freeze on recruiting.

 

I will be getting it after work today and then trying out teams for the dynasty. Did we settle on 85 as the cutoff?

 

It was after recruiting if I remember right, while simming the rest of the nation's games trying to get to the next week. Was a brand new Xbox too because my third-gen, non-HDMI died last spring.

Ran through the Heisman mode with Walker and Palmer and never had any issues with saving those though
