Yeah, we were talking about it a little earlier. I'd like to get that bundle, even if only to prepare for SIII...

Red Dead Redemption 2 and Battlefield might take all my time aside from work in October.

Monster Hunter is grindy as hell but pretty damn fun.

I just can't get into Madden. Think i'm going to trade it back in pretty soon. Just don't find it enjoyable like I used to.

I didn't even bother to buy it this year because the improvements to the game do not seem like much and their new animation system has caused several glitches already. Plus 2K and Live are right around the corner so normally whenever I do buy a Madden, it usually collects dust after a month of playing it. Really sucks that EA owns the NFL license.

I've only got a few chapters of Yakuza 6 to go and then I'll be onto Kiwami 2!

Haven't bought a 2k since 14 but I plan on getting the new one. I used to be a hardcore gamer when I was a kid but now that I'm working it just hasn't been the same

2k is a far superior game

Right now it is but I'm really liking how NBA Live 19 is looking so far. It took them years and many failures but it finally seems that EA is hitting their stride on a basketball game again.

Can't wait for the demos of both games to drop!

Yeah Im seriously considering Live this year after so many years with 2k and when I started playing 2k it was on a sega dreamcast so it was a while ago.I always get 2k but maybe this is the year.Im kind of fed up with just basicly same game each year with updated tarded players ratings like Michael Beasley is 79 Lamb is 79 while Batum is like 78 and Evan 79 same as freakin Lamb and Buddy Hield had 80 ...Harrison Barnes was 81 and Devin freakin Booker 85 or 86 I dont remember but there were many more of such flowers plus same online problems each year.People are fed up and I may be one of them.I think the lack of competition as Live sunked years ago made 2k team happy and richy campers.Even main gaming sites and tabloids were reporting that 2k18 may be beggining of the fall.So we will see how 19 goes.
Satoransky with 77 rating ffs and Evan with 79

I get the concerns with 2k and how the micro transactions have ruined the experience.

I also know that EA has some great graphics but their game is really arcadey and I feel like the controls are made for a younger audience. I didn't mind playing Live when I was like 10, but 2k is far superior even with all the flaws.

This is my opinion though, you guys may feel differently

Furinkazan · Post #293 » by **Furinkazan** » Wed Aug 15, 2018 9:02 pm

I honestly dont know because I didnt try Live19 yet.
Is demo out yet?

Furinkazan · Post #294 » by **Furinkazan** » Wed Aug 15, 2018 9:21 pm

well microtransactions are ruining gaming as a whole not only 2k
I understand fully online games but when you pay a lot for the game and that game has often already hidden but unlockable by purchasing content it infuraiates me. That means they sold me not a full game but half of the game at full price(because that was the price they asked so I assume it was a full price and if it wasnt it should be said...we are selling you 50% of the game if you want full be prepared to rain $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.There should be info about that.(and I dont mean info about this game includes microtransactions I want a full info ...its 50% 60% 95% of the content.Instead they sell you so called full game and they go for a money grab again basicly getting paid twice triple quadruple or more for the same game.Its a scam and nobody does anything about that.
I never finish career or my player in 2k because Id have to play only 2k for a year each day to get to 99 they ofc know about that as they made it this way so they could lure you to buying VC.

Back in the good old days you didn't even have to pay to play online (PS3 etc.) Now the yearly online pass is about as expensive as a game

Actually feel that the last few 2K titles have more of an arcade feel to it and is catered for younger gamers especially with their massive reliance on virtual currency in their popular game modes (Park & Pro-Am). 2K18 in particular was very much pay to win and really didn't require much skill towards shooting, dribbling etc.

Luckily it looks like Mike Wang and the other devs are going to fix this to make the game more skill based. Time will tell though. Still feel the game is going to be heavily reliant on VC. I just really hope the game isn't a buggy mess like 2K18 was to start out.

Actually felt Live 18 had the better offensive/defensive mechanics. It's just that the animation was stiff and the signature players didn't stand out from the rest of the players from an animation standpoint. Live 19 aims to fix all of this.

I am getting both games to see the improvements for myself and hope that these companies can bring the best out of each other.

First I had heard of it, but went and read an article and damn, dude didn't even try to disguise it, lol.

I have, crazy stuff....

In a strange twist of fate, the guy who has been plagiarized probably gained more attention that he would have otherwise, but only because he called him out.

That Miucin guy is toast, who would hire him after that? Especially now that I'm seeing IGN has removed a bunch of his other reviews for plagiarizing. Apparently he's been doing this for a while, the Dead Cells review was just the most flagrant of them.
