Andrew POE! Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 9 hours ago, Gonzo said: The NFL and 2K Sports have entered an agreement to allow 2K to produce "non-simulation" NFL games. They won't be able to produce a direct competitor for Madden, but I guess they'll be doing other stuff. Can't wait for microtransactions and the developers of WWE 2K to provide 'enhancements' to NFL 2K21. EA's deal for Madden ends next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Valiant Hearts: The Great War any good? It's currently something like $5 on the Switch eShop. I'll probably end up getting it regardless, since it's just a fiver and I've been looking at it for a few weeks, but still. I also bought Civilization VI for the Switch, so, uh, goodbye free time.

Totally worth $5. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) The story mode was written by the people who wrote that ESPN show "Playmakers." You play a version of The Longest Yard against a prison team QB'd by a Mike Vick expy named Mike Mexico (the last name, of course, referring to Vick's "Ron Mexico" name that he used to sign into hotels and give women gonorrhea). It's one of the few edgy games that actually doesn't feel too try-hard. The soap-operatic aspects of it all work perfectly. Plus, the gameplay is excellent! You should also play the first one, which isn't as good as II (though it is still damned good), but which has a storyline that carries through to the second game, which is, of course, a FUCKING MASTERPIECE, legitimately one of my favorite games ever.

jaedmc Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I think I only ever played the regular Blitzes. I don't think I knew there was a sequel with a story mode. I actually introduced my son to NFL Blitz a few months back when we went to Galloping Ghost(the greatest arcade ever). He was enthralled by it. I think we may have had more fun on that than most any other machine. NFL Blitz: Bringing Families together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just a lil summary: the coronavirus seem to have made the Asian regions raise their gaming demands. More systems are in demand and games are selling more. It maybe because they have to stay indoors with nothing to do. One of the hot ticket items is Ring Fit Adventure, which is getting a huge markup on the aftermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Started playing Life is Strange: Before the Storm (it was £3.99 on PSN). It's a prequel to the first game and you play as the best friend character. Feels very strange to be in these locations and not have any powers though. The special skill in Life is Strange is Time Control. In Before the Storm, it's arguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Nightdive Studios & Alcon Entertainment are restoring the 1997 Blade Runner PC game and releasing it later this year for the PS4, Xbox One, Switch and on Steam. Quote "It's true that the original Blade Runner source code was lost," says Larry Kuperman, head of business development at Nightdive. "We painstakingly reverse-engineered the code, importing it into our own KEX engine, a powerful tool that allows us to do console ports of classic titles, even in the face of quite challenging situations." Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition will feature a "polished and premium restoration" from Nightdive Studios via the company's proprietary KEX game engine, which it has used to restore Turok and System Shock for contemporary platforms, among other titles. The game will feature updated character models, animations and cutscenes, as well as widescreen resolution support, keyboard and controller customization and more. The original foreign language translations (which include German, French, Italian and Chinese) of the original game have also been sourced for the Enhanced Edition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I watched someone play through the GOG release on Twitch and honestly, it has less Stupid Pixel Hunt shit than almost any adventure game I've ever seen. The fact that the game randomizes who is a replicant in every game is actually pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 I bought Far Cry 4 yesterday because I had like eight dollars of PS Store credit and decided to finally play it. I am very ready for a "go there--->shoot that" game to beat slowly over a couple of months. Though it's getting ignored next Friday as soon as I get my hands on my copy of Animal Crossing.

Even with the way I play these games, which is to do every sidequest and level up all the things?
