OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

[FLYguy3911]

Hell yeah, very nice.

Now you can't quit. The game decided to be fair for once because it knew you wanted to leave.

I got two 84s and an 86 out of the three 84+ player picks and a dupe 87 out of the campaign pack. The game decided for me lol.

I assume The Show has a similar Ultimate-Team-like mode?

so...nba 2k24 is ass...just like the last near-decade of the game has been...that's all

it does

Yeah but no weekend league format. Lots of tradeable packs though and not pay to win. At least it hasn't been.

Nothing current but I've been wanting an HDMI connector cable for the longest time so I can play my PS2 again and a buddy at work hooked me up with a recommendation. Now I'm finally reunited with my first love after almost a decade. First order of business was starting a Flyers dynasty and trading for Datsyuk.

I just picked up NHL 2K5 for PS2 recently because its the last game with a Skills Competition. Pretty fun actually.

I have 2K6 for the PS2 and played that a lot growing up as well. I think it's pretty similar to 2K5 (except Bob Cole and Harry Neale do the commentary instead of Thorne and Clement). Only real negative is that the PS2/Xbox generation releases don't have post-lockout updated rosters by default, so guys like Roenick/Leclair/Amonte/Markov etc. are still on the Flyers' roster.

@Striiker 9 squads for Felix not to get an upgrade.

Both are crazy expensive…

I haven’t done a single one of these showdowns yet. No idea why anyone would pay that much

which one did you do???

Felix. Barca are underdogs too. :|

No chance you do that if you aren’t quitting soon

I had fodder and packs piling up. I got Kane's TOTY card in a player pick again lol.

Felix is one of my favorites. 5* skills. I had an evo card of his earlier in the year that I used a bit. I needed Barca and Portugal links too. He definitely needs the upgrade though.

Hopefully Bastoni isn't too expensive. I never used to pack his base gold card but now I've packed him like 3x this week. Fishy.

I just got duplicate HM Kane a minute ago too…

It was the second walkout of the pack and I got so excited hearing the TOTY music… f*** my life.

But ok, fine, you have a valid excuse then. Hopefully you get that upgrade before you abandon me to suffer on this godforsaken game by myself. Traitor.

I had no clue there was TOTY music lol.

I'll probably hang around the menus so I'm not too far behind if I come back in the summer. I have 850k coins and about 500k worth of tradeable fodder. That should last me a bit without playing.

Yeah, I'd never heard it before either but I heard it start when the 88 Renard walkout came out, so I got all excited.

It was this:

I usually get an 83 out of that pack so you’re ahead of me.

I don't know how many of you play Rimworld, but they're adding @Beef Invictus to the game as part of their next expansion:

RimWorld - Anomaly expansion and update 1.5 announced! - Steam News

Announcing the new horror-themed expansion, RimWorld - Anomaly! Update 1.5 now available on the unstable branch. Both Anomaly and update 1.5 release in one month.

A massive flesh creature is growing across the landscape, consuming and covering the whole map with a quivering mass of meat. It defends itself with beasts and acid. Fight it to get samples of its nervous system, then study them until you can venture to its heart and kill it for good.

It took them 9 hours to digitally map me. They took particular notice of the crevices.
