Right, but Wade doesn't have to be young Wade.

LeBron is coming into his prime at a point when all the previous superstars are on the decline.

Just like Jeffrey in the 90s.

He's not gonna be denied forever, much to Puddles' dismay.

LeBron winning a chip and my cat dying are the two moments I know are coming up in the next few years that I just don't know how I'm going to be able to handle.

ahuahuhau 2K is shutting down the 2K11 servers on the 16th. Fucking scam artists trying to get people to buy their broken ass game.

you serious?

who wants to play me on 2k online so I can get the achievement points?

I would love to play or anyone else really but I have yet to even get a connection and play one game online in this pos. And somehow 2k11 works fine.

I didn't buy 2k12 after buying 2k9, 2k10, and 2k11. Never again 2K.
I'm in a similar place. Bought their games every year going back to AI covers. Last year's online was inexcusable, I vowed not to put my money down til I got word of a completely rebuilt online segment.

There's no reason for me to lag so bad against fellow LA dwelling Lakers-age when I got internet at 15 mb/s. None.

Maybe 2k finally learned this time, but I said that last year...

I now pronounce you jett, Part 2.

I know even you can appreciate DEM COLORS, bro. :P
Oh the art style is improved, but then I see some random characters stumbling around like they were animated on the N64 and I cringe. There have been some really well animated games this gen and I have been spoiled by them.

I'm having the same issues playing through The Witcher, and that game came out the same time as Uncharted -- on PC. But that's to be expected of a game using the same engine that ran Neverwinter Nights.
 
So if you're Kim Kardashian and you want to marry an NBA player, how do you settle for a completely mediocre player like Humphries?

Girl must have been listening to No Scrubs on repeat the last few days of that marriage.

Huh, whats that, reilo? Sorry, didn't hear you brah.

lol but seriously, games like Uncharted really have spoiled you. You can't expect that kind of bomb ass animation in all games. Gotta keep them expectations in check. I thought GTA IV's animations were awesome and the Euphoria engine made dynamic collision detection so fun to watch.

Also, there was more than likely a huge budget discrepancy between The Witcher 1 and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Not a fair comparison, but yeah, TW1's animations are pretty jarring to look at.

please be old tommy vercetti, i hope its him, trailer was pretty good :D

As a matter of fact, according to an info leak before the trailer...

It truly has!

Oh yeah, for sure, but the difference is extremely apparent.

Better? Come on, how can you hate on that? Looks pretty smooth to me. :O

reilo said:

No, really though. Do you hold every game you play to the standard of best-in-the-industry done features from other games?

Shit, man. I probably couldn't enjoy games at all anymore if I did that. :(

That isn't going to be actual gameplay. No way.

Doesn't look much different from GTA4 to me /shrug but I might be misremembering.

The true judge will be during gameplay.

I hold franchises that sell 20mil copies to that standard, yeah. It's why I hate on franchises like CoD because they have no excuse to take shortcuts with their enormous budgets and how many copies they sell. Hell, it's actually insulting for them to charge $60 for the shit they put out.

A franchise like GTA falls under that umbrella, too.

It's why I don't mind it for The Witcher because I get it that they didn't have the same resources, so I put that aside. But it's still there and noticeable!

bwahahahaha

Who knows. Could be those pre-programmed animations that look better in cut scenes, but that's all we got so far right now and it looks pretty good to me.

Yup. As good as it looks, I'm waiting for a $30 price drop if they don't add parachutes from the get-go this time. :(

Understandable. Definitely agree with you about the MW series. But hey, there's so many chumps who only play every rendition of those games that Activision shits out every year so $60 for the same game is whatever to them.

I just don't think it's possible yet to have absolutely defining animation in such an open world environment like in GTA games. The amount of processing power that would go into that shit with so many pedestrians walking the city streets is exhausting, I would think.

So I see it as hardware limitations at this point rather than R* North half-assing it. Still looks a lot smoother than most other titles this gen to me though.

GTA4 was smeared with a disgusting piss filter, V appears to have actual lighting.


Console versions will be vaseline covered, sub-hd, and a slideshow.

Won't look like that trailer. Rockstar are masters at this.
 
good god trading is a pain in the ass. i like the Wizards in 2K12 for John Wall but it is impossible to flip Rashard Lewis' contract.

Sounds like it's pretty accurate then!
 
Rockstar is one of the most creatively bankrupt developers in the industry. They have an enormous name in Grand Theft Auto that gives them a lot of creative freedom and pull, yet they choose to return to Liberty City? For their next game they return to San Andreas? It's completely boring, predictable, and gutless.

You just described this generation.

Rockstar ain't the only ones brah.

Shaquille O'Neal spent one season with LeBron James playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers and talks about their time as teammates in his forthcoming autobiography.

“LeBron was a huge star,” O’Neal wrote in the autobiography. “He was as big as I was in 2000 in L.A. when I was dominating the league.

“Our coach, Mike Brown, was a nice guy, but he had to live on edge because nobody was supposed to be confrontational with LeBron. Nobody wanted him to leave Cleveland, so he was allowed to do whatever he wanted to do.

“I remember one day in a film session LeBron didn’t get back on defense after a missed shot. Mike Brown didn’t say anything about it. He went to the next clip and it was Mo Williams not getting back and Mike was saying, ‘Yo, Mo, we can’t have that. You’ve got to hustle a little more.’ So Delonte West is sitting there and he’s seen enough and he stands up and says, ‘Hold up, now. You can’t be pussyfooting around like that. Everyone has to be accountable for what they do, not just some us.’ Mike Brown said, ‘I know, Delonte. I know.’ Mike knew Delonte was right.

“I’m not sure if Kobe [Bryant] is going to listen to Mike Brown [now Lakers coach]. LeBron never really did.”

“There’s no question in Game 5 LeBron was kind of out of it. . . . I always believed he could turn it on at any moment, but for some reason he didn’t. Not against the Celtics in 2010 and not against the Mavericks in 2011. It was weird. It’s one thing to be a passer, but you are supposed to be the One.

“I’m watching him play against Dallas, and they’re swinging the ball and they get him a perfect open look — and he’s kicking it to Mario Chalmers. Makes no sense. I told people, ‘It’s like Michael Jordan told me. Before you succeed, you must first fail.’ “


lol

Except LeBron doesn't fail, he just doesn't try.

Are we even sure the X360 is capable of so many colors?

lol.

Ugh, my ps3 freezes when i play Batman. Called customer service and after bitching at them got a new copy of the game as long as i send mine in. Just gonna sell it, sucks cause I wanted to play this Batman pretty badly.
 
Lol gta5 wont look like that on consoles without looking like a sideshow.
He'll, those gta4 mods on pc look very similar to that on a recommended gtx 560.
 
ryutaro's mama said:
That's why (even though he's insane) I like Brandi.

He gives a fuck about the Mavs doing well (when he's not wishing death on the second best player on the team) not what the fuck my team is doing or not doing.

And he's the only one here that has the right to talk shit about the Lakers getting swept for all the shit we gave him in past years.

Karma indeed.

LA Noire was pretty shitty.

I'll give you RDR, but I don't believe that game was made by the GTA team.

They stepped in to help, but that project was Rockstar San Diego, and they kicked ass. 11M copies at last count, and deserved every one. Great game.

Never mentioned you.

I still think you guys are gonna chip soon.

2-3 year frame.

We'll see. I think that barring Chicago getting a solid 2 guard, they'll be coming out of the East for the next few years at least. But it depends on who they play. Whynotbrook vs LeBron in the 4th quarter would be amazing to watch for the wrong reasons.

Don't waste any time concerned with the filthy console masses.
 
I have a hard time playing games which I don't feel require me to be skillful. Even stuff like RDR, which I'll admit is a good game overall, start to get boring for me.

Maybe I'm old school but nowadays the most intriguing thing I can hear about a game is that its frighteningly difficult...

So I will assume you have Dark Souls?

Uncharted, RDR, etc are not available on PC. PS3/PC is the only answer.
 
Boombloxer said:

Yeah. Haven't started that or Demon's Souls yet, but I plan to. Haven't quite had the time but those games look built for me. And the fact that they're successful only leads me to believe that I'm not the only one.

I've still been keeping up with things alright, but the shady business and odd trends of the industry have disenfranchised me from the whole thing. I do a lot of gaming nowadays, way more than ever before, but 70% of it is in competitive games (not just Smash, but Street Fighter, Marvel, Starcraft, etc) and the majority of the remaining 30% is in old games I never had a chance to play.

Its an odd state of affairs. I never expected to be like this...I thought I'd be following mainstream gaming forever but at this point though I can't see myself abandoning gaming, I think its very likely that I will stop forcing myself to play these AAA blockbusters just out of tradition.

The games have just got too easy man. Its really hard to go from blitzing at 300 actions per minute to then slow to a crawl just pressing forward and "shoot" for hours at a time.
 
Have had some good sessions in BF3 with kado and commish. Reilo squad up.

Commish is a straight up camper. I'm running around trying to capture points like you're supposed to and I come up on this dude laying down on some rocks firing at everybody else. Wtf? Who does that? Looked at him for a bit before deciding to stab him in his back and get dem tags.

Camper.

pot meet kettle.
one time i was with you. i leave you to capture a point, while you're sniping ass is on prone.
i come back 5 mins later and you're still there.

LOL!
 
Pretty sure that WASN'T me. I roll with the M4 Engineer class son. Commish camper of the year.

And didn't you crash a jet last night WHILE ON THE RUNWAY
 
I'll let you know in advance, I like sniping (camping).

There only game that balanced my love for sniping and high octane Multiplayer was COD 1 and 2.

I could rush with a pistol and still be a force and switch to sniper rifle on the fly.

I also used to play it 8 hours or so a day so that probably had something to do with me being good at it.
