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

That's pretty impressive realism, but I'd be really irritated if that happened to me, assuming the distinct kicking motion didn't correspond to something I intentionally did with the controller.

I was pretty ****ed when I saw the zebra come in and wave it off, didn't even notice it went to review until he pointed towards center ice. Have to admit that it was a pretty sweet new feature.

So it kind of slipped my mind, but there is a Triple-A title coming out on Sept 21st.

Civilization V

I've noticed the same thing, everything seems slower to happen/respond. I've started to get my scoring touch back a little bit, but my defense is atrocious, especially hitting consistently. It's almost too easy to weave in and out of defenders, which is totally unrealistic.

Game speed slider is your friend. Playing online annoys me because of the slow speed.

Thats just it, I do 85% of my playtime online, so hopefully they release a new tuner set here soon and up the speed.

Still play Civ IV: Beyond the Sword to this day. Hell, Civ II is still installed on my computer.

Decided to pre-order Civ V from Steam. That way I get the bonuses of the collectors edition, no need for a CD to play, and its pre-installed prior to the release date.

Apparently the CD version requires a one time internet connection as well.

Sid Meier's Pirates (downloadable version) is on sale for $6. Lots of fun if you haven't played it before.

Crap - it's no longer $6, back to $20.

FIFA 11 demo came out recently, I like it. 3 minute halves are a little short for my liking though.

Heavy Rain for PS3 is Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day for $40 - I suppose I'd rather have a deal that's a little more "golden", although I heard the game is excellent.

Oh, and video game-related lightening deals all day today.

Awesome. I added it to my cart just now and it listed at regular price. I was like ***? So I removed it and now it says I've already claimed in and can not add it again. Freaking suck.

If only there was a way to clear your cookies and create another pointless login to Amazon to get the deal........

Etrian Odyessy 3 (DS) is fun, but as is normal for Atlus it is difficult.
