213374U Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I don't buy movie based games.You bought both KotORs. Lol you - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
alanschu Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I think the second one was given to him, since he was refusing to buy it.
metadigital Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Of course, it should be noted, that Madden can be bought on pretty much every gaming machine avialable. I saw one sales track where Madden 2007 has places #1 through #7 locked up. Impressive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So, with all the cash that's rolling in from their sports games -- wouldn't that mean they're adding ads for extra pork instead of suplementing developement costs? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It costs a lot of money to pay for professional athletes to sponsor the game with their likenesses and names.

Judge Hades Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 "Yeah, but when did they last make a decent CRPG?" They don't need to. They never claimed to be a RPG maker. They're good at what they do. Period. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not in my eyes. If you can't make a good CRPG then you can't make a game I like.
213374U Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I think the second one was given to him, since he was refusing to buy it.Ah, of course. Say, did I tell you about that time the dog ate my homework? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Dark_Raven Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 EA is awesome! Today, I'm gonna pick up Madden and NHL 2007 (even though I have my doubts abnout NHL 2007 though I'm getting it for 'free' by giving up 3 old games). And, oh, Madden 2007 has sold 2 million copies in a week's time! WOWSERS! GO EA GO! On topic: In game advertising doesn't bother me unless it's overly intrusive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah awesome! Sports games! Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
alanschu Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Many people (myself included) like sports games.
Dark_Raven Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Many people (myself included) like sports games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I never understood computer sports games. Why not go out and play a game of football with your friends? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
alanschu Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I've never understood RPGs. Why don't you just go out and LARP?
Llyranor Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I've never understood RPGs. Why don't you just build a time-travelling device and go back to medieval times and pretend you know magic and get burnt at the stake? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
alanschu Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Wait wait wait...so you play RPGs to put yourself in situations that aren't actually available to you? Kind of like me playing pro hockey? "
Dark_Raven Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) I don't understand you people. You sit there and whine and cry because I supposedly do not contribute to a topic and when I ask an honest legit question, I get stupid replies. Edited September 1, 2006 by Dark_Raven Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
alanschu Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) Hey, I love the sport of ice hockey. But I can't skate very well at all, nor can I fire a 100 mph slap shot. The best I can do is floor hockey, since that doesn't involve skating. It also provides the roots of basic competition. Not surprisingly, sports and competition have been around pretty much forever.

Dark_Raven Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Yeah this is the Middle Ages where adventuring is the top thing. Maybe there are dragons out there to slay? Oh I know, post apocalyptic adventuring, except the bombs having fallen to create that scenerio. FPS. Yeah lets go out and go on a killing rampage. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Llyranor Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Besides, social activities require friends. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

You sit there and whine and cry because I supposedly do not contribute to a topic and when I ask an honest legit question, I get stupid replies. Well, let's look at your question: I never understood computer sports games. Why not go out and play a game of football with your friends? Let's look at football. It consists of 11 versus 11 player action (assuming everyone plays ironman). Sometimes it's hard to get 22+ people together to play the game. It also allows the 140 pound hemophiliac to actively take part in a game like this. I love basketball, but all my friends are not fans of it at all. The odds of me playing basketball with my friends is pretty much zero. Playing floor hockey, no problem. Given I'm a huge fan of basketball, I love the tactical aspect of it. I don't really have the time (nor the money) to get involved at a high level that would actually involve a coach, I can get that experience (somewhat) through a basketball game. They are also exceptionally easy games to get into. Most people have an idea of what the rules are of the game, and they provide a competitive atmosphere. They are some of the most fun MP games. My roommate and I are currently playing through FIFA World Cup, where he created himself as a goaltender, and I'm a Right Midfielder. We get to play fantasy and pretend we're leading Canada to the World Cup Finals! Their fast, easy to play, and fun. They don't have the hassle of trying to organize a game, nor the costs frequently associated with these sports. As for the stupid answers, talk to Mr. Mooney about that.

Llyranor Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 leading Canada to the World Cup Finals! See, this would only be possible in a virtual setting. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
alanschu Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Exactly! Though I'm sure Canada has qualified for the WC Finals before....yes...we did it in 1986. And made it to Round 1! It's the placing 3rd part that hasn't happened
Judge Hades Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 The reason why I prefer CRPGs is because I like a good interactive story in my games. hat is why I don't play sport games. Of course there are some other types of games that hae good stories do them as well such as the Wing Commander series and the Half Lifes.
