Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Fucking fuck. I had 5 god damn blacklist people to finish off on Need For Speed Most Wanted on the PS2 and my data get corrupted. I dont suppose there is a fix, so im not even going to attempt it again.

Picked up Call of Duty: Finest Hour. Haven't had a chance to play it, but I'm sure to enjoy it. Haven't played a WWII shooter in a long time.

Also, I'm going to a Madden 11 launch party at Gamestop. Just a little insight into how boring and sad my life really is.

Jesus Christ, those clit fondlers over at EA Sports and Gamestop really know how to grab you by the dick and jerk you around (and not in the good way).

That "launch party" was really just a "preorder the game so you can wait in line for 2 hours". Fuck that shit.

Earthworm Jim sucks ass.

Been playing for the past few hours and can only think to myself 'Thank god I got this off my friend.'

Sorry, we're full.

I'm so fucking bored, I want nothing more than to play my old PS2 games again..
I knew I shouldn't have gotten rid of them..

Scott Pilgrim is alright..

The graphics are great but turn me off at the same time.

The big enemy in the first level is severely OP.

The 1st boss is cheap.

You shouldnt be buying madden in the first place.

I enjoy a good football game, and the last Madden I got is 07. Besides, it's one of the few games that has local multiplayer.

Sorry games industry that I have real-world friends who want to sit next to me while we play.

Yeah I agree. I really dug the art, but some of the larger enemies are really broken.

Taking a pass on the Red Dead DLC as well. I never really play anything but freeroam and co-op, so I have no interest in paying 10 bucks for maps I won't use and characters I don't need.

I like Earthworm Jim.

WH40K: Space Marine looks pretty damn great.

Holy shit, Carnivores 2 port as a mini for less than £2.

GONNA HUNT ME SOME DINOSAURS.

Got on PSN the other day only to find out that while I am on there the computers internet runs insanely slow. But one I get off it speeds back up again. So guess what it's trying to tell me is just do one at a time lol.

You know how every time someone is like "CAN I JION CLUB PLZ" we're all "FULL LOL"?
Has anyone actually seen anyone that asked and got that response?
I think they took it seriously..

I blame BobbaQ.

Got some games today:

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Burnout Paradise
Metal Gear Solid 4

Rental that should be here by next Tuesday:

ModNation Racers
Massive Action Game

I've played Burnout Paradise before, but they all seem like great games.

Don't worry. Most of them are low-level users with few posts. They probably didn't come back to see that "we're full". Hell, they probably never came back to the site.

And for those none of you who care, I'll give my initial impressions of Madden 11. And any comparisons I do are going to be from what I've heard about Madden 10 and what I've played of Madden 07.

The gameplay is just as tight as it was last year, with the AI doing an adequate job of playing the other guys you aren't. In fact, it feels more like an actual, real-life football game. You're not going to break 50 yard runs every time, or throw 70 yard bombs, or get 10 yard sacks, or ridiculous amounts of interceptions. The score is close to what an actual NFL score would be. It's just a very tight, very realistic game.

What's new to the play calling is "Game Flow" (could be one word, could be two, but who gives a fuck). Basically, rather than scrolling through menus to find a play, this system will automatically pick a play based on the situation, your strengths, and their weaknesses. It's like a simpler, smarter version of ask Madden, without the benefit of being able to realize Play X is retarded here and pick a new one. But 99% of the time it's got a good play on hand, and it's easy to quickly audible into something you like. You can further augment and refine Game Flow by creating a gameplan. I haven't done one of these yet, but you get access to all of your opponents tendencies, and can plan accordingly. Game Flow will then use your gameplan to better pick plays.

What's weird is the new control schemes. In this modern day of GRANDMA MUST PLAY VIDEO GAMES, the controls are extremely basic. 1 button each to stiff arm, spin, dive, and jump, with the right stick taking care of jukes, high stepping, and lowering your shoulder. There isn't a sprint button, which feels weird as a player, since you want to hold something as you try to outrun everyone. There's the new "protect the ball" button, which you press/hold right before you get hit to prevent fumbles. On defense, the controls are even more basic. The right stick controls all of your movements on the d-line, with L1 being the "knock it down" button. Off the line, with the auto-strife on, you basically just need to move, and hit either L1 or triangle to knock down the ball. You're encouraged to run straight into players, rather than the usual tactic of hitting square to dive at them. The penalty of hitting square is usually a missed tackle. Pre-snap adjustments are simpler, as all of those calls are on the d-pad, rather than a specific button. Overall, the controls aren't significantly different, but I feel like hardcore enthusiasts might need some time to adjust.

Franchise mode is bare bones. Going back to 07, you could control everything from player salaries to the price of hot dogs, move your team, practice during the week, and improve your players through mini-camps. Now, all you can do is hire new players, fire old ones, and play the weekly games. It just feels like a bit of a letdown, like I should be doing more in-between games.

I haven't had a chance to go online or start my "Ultimate Team" (think Pokemon Trading Card Game minus the roaming, plus unknown NFL players), so I can't comment on those, but they look standard.

God damn this is so hard.

Only have the pistol and X-bow. X-bow is weird as fuck to aim, can never tell where it's going to go, and the pistol is useless more than a few feet away, so is only really good against carnivores since herbivores just run from you.

Dropping Allosaurs with the pistol is badass, though, since they (and everything else) can one hit kill you.

Let's all discuss how it should be illegal not to own this once it comes out.

I have UT for Fifa and its actually a really refreshing game mode. The only trouble is I get disconnected from the EA servers every 5 minutes and I can't comment on NFL cause I have no knowledge about it but I assume there will be big players that everyone wants to own but no one can because their prices are like 1,000,000 coins.

Hopefully they'll make it way better in the future cause its far from perfect, but I enjoy it now I've finished all the career/virtual pro stuff.

*GIGGLE*

I do it all the time.

Started playing PROTOTYPE again. Got gold on all the challenges but need to get plat on them now. I've got about 70 collectibles to find and 9 web of intrigue targets, then I have to do a playthrough without dying once. Got to do all that before I do a hard playthrough.

Also, need about another 18,000 kills for the trail of corpses trophy. Fucking devs and their stupid trophies.

Shallow arcade game that requires peripheral that will likely flop to play?

SIGN ME UP!

I'm borrowing it off Lovefilm so I'm going through the trophies myself.
I did collectables and Web of Intrique in the last few days. Doing my Hard/Don't Die playthrough. Only 4 missions left :).
After that its just Gold and Plat on the events and I'm done. I'm not looking forward to them though.

Doing Rolling Thunder event. You can kill over a thousand in like 2 minutes. Gets it done in no time :).

Indeed.

I don't really care if it's bad or not.

To ride around Tokyo on an office chair has always been my life long dream.

Scott Pilgrim is awesome. Highly recommended.

Got most of the trophies. Only need a few more to get 100%

Reach a boss without getting hit, summon all assist characters with all characters + Secret Character 1. Buy all food items in the game, buy all items in a shop at once.

Then I'm done!

I don't like Metal Gear Solid 4. Anyone else?

LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID

It's not my favourite game this generation, but I loved it. I played through it at least 13 times and I enjoyed all of it except for the boring third chapter.

I never liked any MGS game, 4 was the same.
