Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.
Anyway, just a quick rundown.
Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.
Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.
Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.
Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing. [Reply]
reading around about college football 25, sounds like it's incredibly easy to cheese the AI to getting good recruits. I for one will resist that urge, cheesing in a single player franchise is not my thing. Hopefully one of those madden guys from operation sports comes out with good realistic sliders as I will be using those to make it more challenging too.
I'm probably going to dabble in the ultimate team to see if it's any good first but will inevitably switch to dynasty and I guess I'll have to rock KU. [Reply]

I'm the same as you and I also never play online. Just dynasty mode by myself. [Reply]
I skipped through much of it, but this video doesn't give me the warm fuzzies... it's exactly what I did years ago with KU football, I could win a NC in 3 years. He wins a bowl game in year two... using a team that was FCS a couple seasons ago.
The first game he plays is everything I remember about EA football, except usually you're the team that goes up big and then has to hold on.
And then the guy gets to the NC and who's he playing.... fucking Iowa State. :-)
Apparently you can't edit damn near anything for players currently. Literally their equipment only. Unless that's just until the day one patch or something this game is going to die out very fast [Reply]

I remember somebody telling me about it once, and I'm always up for new stuff. I'll grab it and give it a shot!
EU4 is (I think?) an RTS. You can pause it, but it operates on days, months, years. It's not turn based like Civ, every player/country is operating independently simultaneously. I mean, I guess technically days are 'turns' in a sense, but the clock keeps running unless you pause the game, but now I'm getting into the meaningless minutia
Every game is so different too. It can have such wild variances it's like a new game every time [Reply]

No clue, but it's fucking awesome. Haven't played it in years so I'm sure it's tuned even better now. Have had some chill games and some with crazy ass battles with the Ottomans or full coalitions against me in games I've gotten to greedy. The game really punishes you in a lot of ways if you try to overextend your empire too quickly. [Reply]

Recruiting is supposedly completely broken which would completely ruin it since I like to start cupcake and SLOW build into a powerhouse [Reply]
Yeah, it's pretty fundamentally broken in nearly all aspects. The gameplay itself seems decent enough for prelaunch but recruiting, simming, and even the logic for ranking/CFBP seems completely fucked at the moment. [Reply]

Small schools dominating rankings after barely a year or 2...wow [Reply]
I'm still waiting because I'm not doing the pay to not be late bullshit. But it doesn't sound great, hopefully the gameplay is good at least. Should know by now not to expect anything from EAsports. [Reply]
