Last post by BoomerSooner - December 10, 2024 @ 03:47 PMThe gameplay is rough. Glitches galore. Players freezing in space, weird ball physics on tipped passes. You only have three stadiums that are just rebranded by the team you choose. Could only play day games, did not see any options to change TOD and weather. Very bare bones and a ton of upgrades are locked to paid users.
There is a college dynasty mode that looks interesting. Far better conference customization than CFB25. You can rename conferences and change logos. Also, nice that you can edit uniforms in the actual game, instead of having to go to a website. There was plenty to manage, including recruiting.
The problem is the gameplay made me not want to test anything out and I just deleted it. There is potential to be a good alternative but at minimum a couple years away.

That was one of the better reviews I've seen. I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing a lot of the flaws I've mentioned.
Another complaint is that they made disguises a big part of the "stealth", but you're not able see yourself wearing it during gameplay. There's a notification on the HUD telling you that you're disguised.
The best part is when you're just walking around - you basically control a dot on the screen. It brings back memories of playing Adventure on an Atari 2600 in the late 70's.

Last post by BoomerSooner - December 07, 2024 @ 11:02 AMOkay after watching some of the gameplay videos the combat can be rough at times.
I like ACG reviews. Funny and pretty unbiased.

Last post by BoomerSooner - December 06, 2024 @ 07:21 PMAs a fan of the Wolfenstein Series and MachineGames, first person is what they do and they do it well. Along with dealing with Nazi's. They got this, can't wait to play it and this is coming from someone that was never a big fan of Indiana Jones movies.

I don't get it. My son and I started watching some reviews of the game last night and we're not seeing what everyone else is seeing.
First of all, I said from the very beginning that it was a mistake to make an Indiana Jones game in first person and the gameplay I've seen so far has not changed my mind. The fact that they have to switch to a third person camera for a lot of scenes proves the entire game should have just been done that way. Also, the third person animations look terrible. My son literally just finished playing the original Xbox version of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and the climbing animations look they were used for Indiana Jones. The worst is when the camera jumps between first and third person views when swinging on your whip.
Based on the review videos I've seen (about 5 so far) the entire game seems like you're sneaking up behind someone and hitting them with a shovel or punching them with ridiculous fighting animations. Don't even get me started on the ridiculous fighting stance with the two fists in front of his face like he's a boxer from 1800's Ireland. The best part is when the enemies start throwing air punches when they're 20 feet away from you.
The whole game just gives me a PS2-era vibe and I'm not remotely impressed. I'll take Uncharted or Tomb Raider over this game any day.

Last post by BoomerSooner - December 06, 2024 @ 10:36 AMIndiana Jones And The Great Circle hots next week on gamepass (today if you paid for the bonus stuff).
Reviews looking good. Game hits 60fps and stays there. A product that looks actually finished.
Digital Foundry TECH review.

QuoteIndiana Jones and the Great Circle is one of the best licensed games we've ever seen - brilliant for Indy fans and enjoyers of great games in general, while packing some excellent technology. Machine Games has indeed 'knocked it out of the park'. In this video, John goes into depth on the Xbox Series X and Series S versions of the game - and our PC review will follow soon.

I've been to and through Liberal so many times in my youth. Had an aunt & uncle and a handful of cousins that lived there until the late 90's. Last time I went through Liberal was probably 2010 or 2015. Ate at a really good Mexican restaurant there before heading on. Can't remember the name though.

Last post by BoomerSooner - December 05, 2024 @ 08:36 PMAll this talk about trains had me laughing earlier. Had to make a drive to Liberal, KS which has two train tracks that you drive over just as you come into town. Not once in ten years have I seen a train. Sure enough as I head into town, we had to sit at a train crossing for ten minutes waiting for a train to roll through. The amount of graffiti on each of the containers was impressive but highly NSFW.
