WORTH IT!

Yeah I cant wait till next week to pick it up along with the new Hitman game at Toys-R-us next week with their 2 for $70.00 deal they will be having.

NHL 13 might be the most frustrating variation of the game ever. I suck at it. Badly. And I rarely lost in NHL 12. I'm only like 10 games above .500 in 13.

Yeah, it's even harder to score. I've resorted to playing HUT in the rookie tournament against the CPU because it's the only thing keeping me from throwing my controller through the TV.

I'm hoping my wife has picked up on the hints I've been dropping for Far Cry 3 looking fantastic under the tree (I'll have to get the ps3 version). Unfortunately, I recently implemented a 'no buying anything for yourself' decree for December to help me with her Christmas presents...it appears that I may not have thought this through enough.

Portal is an incredible series. Not overrated at all, but IMO.

I only played Portal 2 and I thought it was really good\fun. Definitely gets the brain cells going.

Picked up Far Cry 3 for $25. Installing right now.

WOW, nice price. Where??

[Rylan]

Well I had store credit that I forgot about until today and that cut down on my price significantly. So take my $25 with a large grain of salt.

But this game is a beautiful combination of what was fun about Far Cry 2 with a lot of influence from Red Dead Redemption. I can't give this game enough praise (so far it hasn't annoyed me) just a blast and a half. I have done a lot of exploring and almost got mauled by a tiger!

AHHH!!!

This is exactly the type of crap I'm talking about. (Spoilered image because of size)

Plus, if you get within a foot of a CPU player, you pretty much automatically lose the puck to them, but you can hit a guy 5 times and he'll keep on skating...

I understand trying to make the game more "realistic", but there's a limit and a point where it becomes overdoing it.

I haven't played it for awhile now, but this really annoyed me. There were certain players like Pronger who if you went anywhere near them, they automatically stole the puck.

- Average age of video game player is 37.
- 48% of all players are female.

Wonder how many of us at 63 are still playing? I think I play more now that I am retired than I ever did.

[Rylan]

Man only 40+ years until I am retired.

I'm playing against a guy now in NHL 13 and all he's doing is throwing the puck to the net. From every angle possible. And getting cheap rebound goals. I mean, it's working for him. So I can't really say much.

That never works for me.

He's not taking actual shots. He's taking weak backhands from the blue line and the goalie can't handle the rebound. It's bs.

I don't understand why you guys even play online. All its going to do is make you angry.

It's not just Pronger. You know how I mentioned I've been really only playing the Rookie CPU tourney on HUT? Yeah, CHL guys whose overall can't be higher than like 60 are stealing the puck off me like they're Pavel Datsyuk.

I don't play online and it still angers me

[Rylan]

I had noticed that the NHL series has that effect on me very easily. In all honesty, I am almost completely done with sports games.

Bleh.

I never got this pissed off at NHL 12

[Rylan]

When it comes to video games, am I the only person that really only enjoys co-op multiplayer rather than the PvP multiplayer?

[the wicked child]

I skipped 12... I wasn't sure I was going to get 13, but I think the impending doom of the season tipped my hand. I also had a decent discount to use on Amazon at the time...

[MRandall25]

Depends on the game, but I'd say I agree. Co-op is fun when you're with friends and you get to make fun of the idiot who doesn't know how to get in the Warthogs in Halo 3 (for example).

Not at all... I am not into PvP really at all. Then again, these days I don't play much MP at all.
