Running video games (and consoles) thread

He came home ...

 

Disappointed there's no online play, but I'm still excited for the new RBI Baseball.

Got the game today. Messing around with a few teams to see how they are. Of course you guys are a few seasons in so the current players don't matter.

 

It's weird that there isn't online play - With emulators, you can actually play the NES version online at this point. It wouldn't surprise me if they added that in at some point, because that would make it really awesome. There is a pretty good edition of NBA Jam for PS3 and 360, and I like playing online against some buddies from time to time.

 

It's not on the App Store yet, damn it.

 

I think he was referring to NCAA 14 & posted in the wrong thread.

I'll definitely download the demo on XBL, but my hopes aren't that high at this point.

 

South Park Stick of Truth is awesome. It's a little simplistic for hardcore RPG fans, but for fans of the show its amazing. Hugely enjoyable 15 hours for me.

Anybody got Titanfall? Thoughts?

 

Agree 100% on the Stick of Truth, looks just like an episode. Cut scenes, gameplay, even the battle screens have a good episode quality. It's just damn awesome.

 

Got RBI for the iPad this morning. I've got 8 GB free on it, but the game is still has some hitches in it. Especially when the ball is approaching the plate when I'm batting. A bit disappointed in that. And the fact that all these years later I'm still a sucker for the drop pitch in the dirt.

 

I played the demo on the 360 & was not impressed. I like the simplicity of it, but not being able to field a ball in the outfield is brutal & having any ball I hit to the outfield get caught is just a tad frustrating.

And you can play a season, but there's no stat tracking. What?

Maybe when it's on sale I'll consider it, but there's no way this game is worth $19.99.

 

Very disappointed in Sony right now. After having my PS4 for about 5 weeks, it crapped out on me. First it wouldn't accept any discs. After a Google search suggested I stand it on its side made the console work briefly, it soon stopped loading the discs. Games, blu-rays, DVDs, nothing worked.

I spent 2 hours troubleshooting with Sony before they decided to take a look at it. Four days later I got a shipping box, which then took 7 business days (nine total) to reach Sony. Now they tell me it will be another 7-10 business days before they ship it back to me (which will presumably take another 4-7 days).

All told, I had the console for about five weeks and will be without for probably an equal amount of time. Sony said they couldn't offer me any compensation for the inconvenience. A $50 Playstation Store gift card probably would have made me happy. Instead, I'm just pissed off.

 

The very worst video game ever made just might be the best?
