I have NBA 2k13, it's decent enough. I love basketball games, but they've kind of hit a point where the only thing that changes are the rosters and some minor gameplay animations. I bought Madden for the first time in like 6 years, and it's not collecting dust in favor of Fifa (what an addicting f*cking sports game - 4 minute halves and you can get through 7 or 8 games in an hour).
Black Ops II does look fun, I'm picking that up on Friday and being a little child and playing it all night Friday with my friend (it's my birthday weekend, screw you if you don't approve).
See, I feel like NBA games, in particular the 2K series, are some of the only sports games outside of FIFA which continue to innovate. Every year they figure out new ways to improve the playmaking, the shooting, the animations, everything. That's why I'll buy new versions, otherwise I'd just download the best roster updates the internet can come up with and keep on with 2K12. I haven't played Madden in years - probably since I used to play on a PS2.
Radiohead, prince, muse, chili peppers, etc...and they are lucky if they get 1 mill, but they normally only get 500 k
then you have third tier : snoop, dre, J z...they get 100 k
then you have 4th tier : black keys, munford byoncee, Prince etcc: they get 50k
Yeah, I'm not counting an Ipad that some housewife uses to play Bejeweled for 6 hours a day in this discussion.
Not that there is anything wrong with this, I just don't think that counts as a "console game," for the intents and purposes of this idiotic discussion.
I miss nba jam and nfl blitz. Madden and 2k games just play too slow for me. Fifa games will always kick ass.
I only liked this for the NBA Jam reference. I never liked Blitz and I think 2k games gameplay speed is realistic and smooth. Madden's gameplay is slow, I'll give you that.
I have a whole long spiel I go into regarding Zelda and Radiohead and how their history is weirdly connected:
The Legend of Zelda = Pablo Honey Link To The Past = The Bends Ocarina of Time = OK Computer Majora's Mask = Kid A Windwaker = Hail To The Thief Twilight Princess = In Rainbows Skyward Sword = King of Limbs
I think LoZ/PH each launched their careers in a way that was super different than what became the final product. LTTP/The Bends are still to this day weird purists' favorite of the series, even though they were later far surpassed in my own opinion. OoT/OKC are the undisputed masterpieces that always come up in conversation for GOAT in their respective fields. MM/Kid A are both something of departures, while operating in the same realm as the previous one. They're also both much darker. Windwaker/Hail To The Thief are real departure that everyone initially hated because its so much different, but now a decade later has withstood the test of time. Both of them are also sorta weird playing out (WW because it was rushed, HTTT cause there are 47 songs). Twilight Princess & In Rainbows are both the culmination of the last three efforts, along with a notable return to form of the prime. Skyward Sword/KoL strike me personally as being both overrated and underrated at the same time. As a Radiohead album/Zelda game its overrated, but as a worthy piece of media in general its way better than people give it credit for, if that makes sense.
Also worth noting, your favorite Radiohead album usually lines up with your favorite Zelda using this comparison. Probably not gonna keep the 100% figures I had going before now that it's gonna be seen by more than like 6 people, but I bet its still valid for the most part.
Except this is wrong because The Bends obviously isn't the best Radiohead album...

I spent a large chunk of weekends in high school playing blitz and drinking beers with my friends so it's got a nostalgia factor for me. I just prefer faster paced over the top games. I haven't played a 2k game in a few years so it might be better. Outside of fifa I rarely play any sports games.
I think I remember having to start a new game file because I screwed the Water Temple up so royally (or at least I thought I did.)
You didn't.
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is really the only one in the series that made me yell at the tv constantly. I challenge any of you Quackers to go back and attempt to beat that sumbiznatch. Best of luck at the great palace. I went back and replayed ALL of them before Skyward Sword came out.

Zelda 2 is in fact oppressively difficult. Never was able to finish it... I don't think I ever had a harder time with an NES game (that I actually liked) than with Castlevania 3. That is one tough sob.

GD Zelda 2 was hard. I tried replaying it a couple of years ago and I was no better at it now. I foolishly thought my more developed decision making, learning and hand eye coordination would be enough to make a difference. Fool.

Well he's even more of a boss in my eyes now for making such amazing games without even trying.
He made the good games 20-30 years ago (with Takashi Tezuka). Post 2000 everything is just a remake of well selling ideas of his. He hasn't brought anything new and good to the table since n64 days and arguably before then.
All that said, he'll never be topped by anyone else with the sheer number of amazing game franchises he's made.

Not trolling. Look at that list. Metroid has been garbage since snes. So have the donkey kong games and let's not even start with the crap those Luigi Mansion games are. Then the terrible Mario sports games and Yoshi Island. Mario Kart is so simple you can't really break the game with minor changes. Mario galaxy is ok but Zelda is the only saving grace for Nintendo right now.
Yeah, Mass Effect 3 is incredible... the combat is far and away better than in the last games and the it's a bit more challenging, as well. Loving this game... only game I've played that came out in 2012, actually.
Although a game designer, Miyamoto spends little time playing video games, preferring to play the guitar, mandolin and banjo.
Miyamoto also has stated that he has a hobby of guessing the measurements of objects, then checking to see if he was correct, and apparently carries a tape measure with him everywhere
Traded in a couple of old games yesterday for the Ico and Shadow Of The Colossus Collection for PS3. I used to have Ico in the day and thought it was incredible for the time, never got around to Shadow Of The Colossus. Pretty excited to finally give that one a shot.

itrainmonkeys, Which video card did you get? Is the video card not being recognized after you stalled the drivers for it? Is it an older computer? Are you sure the card is compatible with your motherboard? Does your power supply have enough juice to power the card?
