New from EA, if I'm interpreting correctly, you will have to pay $10 to play online if you buy EA games used.

If you have purchased a new game, your code is printed on the back of the manual included inside your game packaging. If you have purchased a used game and the code originally included has already been activated, you will need to purchase EA SPORTS Online Pass access from within your game by choosing PURCHASE ONLINE ACCESS from the Code Redemption screen.

Certainly seems that way.

Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

So I was riding around exploring the old west when a lady yells at me for help. I stop to help and she tries to steal my horse!

Well I whistle for my horse just as she starts to ride and the horse bucks her off. So I run over to where she is and hogtie her up. For some reason she is out in the middle of nowhere wearing nothing but her under garments.

So I put her on the back of my horse and ride a ways till i reach a railroad crossing. I jump off the horse, grab her and throw her on the tracks. Then I get back on my horse and wait for the train to come by.

10 (actual time) minutes later the train finally comes around the bend.

Justice served. :D (and Secret Achievement Unlocked)
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Been playing the ModNation Racers demo today. Pretty fun game but the demo has one track and you can't use any creations and such. I have it pre ordered from Amazon because The Wife wants the Ratchet and Clank (and Sackboy) bonuses.

Found this hilarious video from Sony on it:

I had forgotten how much of an absolute mofo Yars' Revenge becomes at 150,000 points.

The swirl stops farking around and starts pulling 90 degree turns on a dime in midair to chase your *** down.

"You boys like MEXICO?!"

I can say that I do even though the banditos are friggin' wicked with their shots. It took me going to Mexico to find a character that I have to work with that I actually enjoy and wish I had more time with. Maybe he comes back later on. He's absolutely the character that Sam Elliott would play in any western or bad-arse movie.

Getting to mow people down with the gatling gun was way too fun.

I noticed Mexico was blocked off (until the story opens it) when I was exploring yesterday.

It's also the first time I met mountain lions. Killed 2, didn't see that 3rd one till it was too late. :(

I just finished getting the big gun back from the miners last night, so i'd assume I am close to opening up the rest of the map. I really hope I get to shoot Irish and West Dickens.

Has anyone played Heavy Rain? I've heard good things, but I wonder about the replay factor.

Feel free to post snarky links to posts (perhaps even within this very thread) that I may have missed. :)

I worry about the same thing. I'm waiting for it to drop in price. I've heard it has good replay from one person. But pretty much everyone else said not so much. Probably a great $20-$30 game, but $60? For only a handful of hours? Pass. Same with the God of War series. If I'm not going to hit the $1/hr plateau, there is no reason for me to own the game.

While I have both systems, I chose the 360 version because I know almost everyone else has that.

If you wanna buy me a PS3 copy I will play both. :D

I'm thinking about buying it (for myself) :) .
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Pre-ordered Lego Harry Potter Collector's Edition ($70).

Surprised a bit at the price, but it seems to come with a lot of extras. Not that I know what some of them are by reading the descriptions.

Added bonus, the girl working the counter couldn't seem to keep her boobs put away. :eek: :D
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

My franchise just froze at the end of the 2011 season :(
I see there's a work around, but you have to have control of all 30 teams to fix it (there's a roster problem on one of the other 29 teams).

So I'm starting over. Downloaded the roster with all the correct minor leaguers, so it has Strasberg and Heyward...it also has Mauer's extended contract. :p Controlling all 30 teams also means I can block the ridiculous trades that went through before...having Pujols, A-Rod, Mauer and Santana on the same roster wasn't very realistic.... like the Yankees are going to trade Jeter to the Rays...:rolleyes:

If you have the Show, I definitely recommend this site: http://forums.theshowcommunity.com/index.php

I'm pretty excited for this game. I hope it's a million times better than the regular EA Harry Potter games, which (apart from like, the first one for PS2) suck.

And I know that it comes with magnets. Or a magnet. Either way.

You're close to wrapping up there. As for your hopes, I wouldn't get them too high. :)

The Lego games are all done REALLY well. You won't be disappointed and you'll have a blast.

They were talking to Lazlow on Opie and Anthony today (one of the guys behind RDR (http://lazlow.com/)) and one of the things he mentioned was if you play multi-player, the WHOLE map is immediately playable. You aren't locked into just the little bits you've accessed.

He also mentioned that the animals will attack per the food chain; Wolves and Mountain lions will feed off deer (and humans).
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

The cougars definitely roam in packs. I was riding along and one jumped in my way so I shot it. I got off the horse to skin it and was immediately attacked by two others. Oops. Wolf parts are worth pretty good money in Mexico by the way.
