Nope, it was TWII. Hell, just watch the intro again. It's laughable for the game to be this bad. Impossible to get into it due to the graphics being so poor and the lack of collision detection. And the controls seem as though you're directing your character as opposed to actually playing as him. What I mean is there is a delay from the time you make an input until your PC does what you 'direct'. Just a waste of a good coupon
Reviews are a little all over the place. Gamespot (8.0) really didn't like the changes to the inventory system and combat mechanics, and thought the story was medicore. PC Gamer (94) was effusive, and IGN (8.5) was also very positive. I'm a little disapointed that it appears Bioware didn't produce a story that was 100% to its standards, but I'm also encouraged by the move toward the Mass Effect style of gameplay.
me tooThis month The ShowHomefrontTiger WoodsNascarI may not buy another game until September
Picked up the Show yesterday. It's the first baseball game I have purchased in a long time and it's fun, but the games do take a long time.
Not too impressed with this
Not surprised. Spore wasn't anything but a disappointment.
Seriously.

It's kinda tricky to score once you're starting out, but eventually it gets easier. I'd advise playing online, getting your ### kicked by some teenager who plays 10 hours a day, and see how he scores on you. Some plays/shots lead to goals more often than others, by watching someone else score a bunch on you, you end up seeing some of these high % shots that lead to goals. Then practice using them in games and eventually it won't be too hard to score.I also notice that on several occasions I have a man open, and I pass to him for a one-timer, but instead of the pass going to the open man, it goes into the opposite direction. Frustrating as hell.I only play Be A Pro Mode but only score empty netters
I had a few posts on this game about 4 or 5 months ago. The controls were so disappointing to me. This game was really overhyped.'Leeroy Jenkins said:I also notice that on several occasions I have a man open, and I pass to him for a one-timer, but instead of the pass going to the open man, it goes into the opposite direction.

In the options you can change back to classic controls. Though the newish controls (the ones they've been using for a few years now) isn't all that bad once you get used to it. Though I still struggle to do dekes, I was able to master one move which is now my go-to move. But some of these teens that play are able to dangle like crazy, maybe small fingers are a necessity, i don't know. As for passing, you do have to aim your passes. I've never had it happen that a pass went the opposite direction that I intended it to go, but once every game or 2 a pass I'll miss a pass to a wide open player despite it feeling as if I aimed it properly right at him with my controller; can't really explain why that #### happens.I had a few posts on this game about 4 or 5 months ago.

I'm in my rookie season with my created player, on my way to rookie of the year. Averaging 28 pts, 9.9 reb, 6 assists a game. Not too shabby for a rookie that started the season with a 73 rating coming off the bench.
Drops next week.
Thinking about picking this up if the reviews are good. Also wanted a head count from FBG's to see if we will have a bunch of us on it.
I liked what I saw from a multiplayer vid. Lots of cool new ideas for killstreaks and such. I plan to get it but probably not for a few weeks at least. Maybe April.
I have read over on the OS Forums that is plays a solid game of baseball, presentation is top notch, and they improved upon last years.
Okay, may have changed my mind. Just saw a campaign vid and it doesn't look very good. The MP vid I saw was from a distance so it covered up some of the warts. Good ideas for MP but maybe not worth a purchase.
I tentatively plan to pick it up, but probably not until it drops $10-$20. Primarily looking for the single-player campaign, so that time will also give me insight into whether it will be worth it or not. For multiplayer, I can't see investing time in anything but BF, regardless of how bad I am there.
I love the game but still have no clue why they refuse to add icon passing like the faceoff series had.I also notice that on several occasions I have a man open, and I pass to him for a one-timer, but instead of the pass going to the open man, it goes into the opposite direction.

There's a new Total War game coming out soon (this week?)
Free Alan Wake download code. There's no physical game disc.So I did a pre-emptive strike with my 360 and got a new 250 GB version (got lucky and found a place that had the holiday bundle for the same price as the regular system). I used a $25 coupon to get it for $274.99 shipped and used a $10 facebook Tigerdirect coupon to get the HD transfer kit for $6 shipped.
ETA Holiday version comes with a free Alan Wake and Forza. Might consider selling them, as well.
Have you gone back and played Rome:TW and Medieval 2: TW? There is also Shogun 2 out now. I have not played it, but I loved Rome and Medieval 2. Rome TW might be my favorite strategy game of all time.

That just went on sale recently for dirt cheap, too, didn't it?
I've seen those download codes even cheaper. For as low as $5 on ebay and Amazon. The actual game runs anywhere from $20 - $30 depending on where you buy it.Free Alan Wake download code.

Shogun 2 doesn't come out until tomorrow (at least on Steam). Medieval 2 was on sale for $2.50 there this past weekend.
I may have to try Rome and Medieval 2 again but aren't they just older versions of Empire? Is Shogun similar? Never heard of it.
Older yes, but still great gameplay. I believe the Total War series began with Shogun, then went to Medieval, then Rome, Medieval 2, Empire, Napoleon and now Shogun 2. I will give Shogun 2 a look once it drops to around $20.I may have to try Rome and Medieval 2 again but aren't they just older versions of Empire? Is Shogun similar? Never heard of it.
this just looks like "just cause 2" to me for some reason.
I love MLB the Show 11, but I can't hit either.Last game I played, I had a bunt for a hit and 23 strikeouts.I can't hit for ####
Tried Rome again last night... :X . Can't go back after playing the newer one. Was Napoleon an expansion pack or was it a game unto itself?Older yes, but still great gameplay.

So Bethesda must REALLY have a thing for Vampires. Oblivion and that whole thing, and now Fallout 3? Seriously? Any reason to really go down that road? They are lucky I didn't go in guns blazing as it is.
