Any hear of anyone getting NBA Jam early?
I need that fucking game.
I need that fucking game.
Anyone have any idea on who would be most likely to break street on GT5? I'm guessing probably JB more than anyone (or at least, they'll match it) but I'd like to reserve a CE either today or tomorrow to make sure I get one.
Also tempted to take a day off to play it but given my age, can't really justify time off for a video game

So I had an interesting gaming weekend...
Friday night I load up AC Brotherhood, played for about an hour before I realise that I never finished Assassin's Creed II. What I played of AC II I loved, so I thought I would replay it and finish it before I start Assbro (I lost my ACII save when I got my new xbox a few months ago so I had to start a new game.)
So I start up a new game of AC II, and play for about an hour before I realise that I never finished the original Assassin's Creed.What I played of the original Assassin's Creed I didn't really love, nevertheless I decided to start from the beginning.
So my whole weekend (gaming-wise) was spent playing the original Assassin's Creed. Almost finished it (up to the last target) and to be honest, enjoying it a lot more than when I first played it a few years ago.
I remember being frustrated by the wash rinse and repeat type gameplay structure, however this time I actually enjoyed moving around each new section of the cities as they opened up, methodically doing all the side quests and viewpoints. I also remember being bitterly disappointed with the whole Animus concept, and wished the game was really set in the past. But having seen how that story has developed, I'm actually really glad the developers took that approach.
Can't wait to get home tonight and wrap it up. And knowing of all the improvements that were made in the second game, I can't wait to get stuck into ACII again (and eventually Brotherhood).
Anyway, just felt like sharing. I think I need to do this more often (play old games) as I'm one of those people who too often plays something for a few days and then moves on.

Curious if anyone has been able to get a multi game of AC:B going yet?
It couldn't find another player, let alone a game for me yesterday :lol

JB have ZERO chance of breaking on GT5. I doubt anyone will. But if anyone, it'd be Kmart or Dick Smith.

Lolololol melb pub transport really does suck ass. Going to be 2hrs late for work, oh well they can ya take it out of my 6 weeks available holiday.
This shit better be fixed on the way home.
Oh and my lunch, which is last nights meat has been in my bag since 7am. I guess that's kinda fucked too. I can fridge it at 10:30 but that might be too late?

Hrmm, cheers fred, seems like I just ran out of time, I got inside the monorail, but then it took off and somehow I ended up sitting on the tracks and it exploded...sigh.
Trying to limit myself on reloading saves based on failing plot points, limited reloads to just when companions die :lol

Given your nationality, how can you say that? Australians are lords of the sickie!Shaneus said:Also tempted to take a day off to play it but given my age, can't really justify time off for a video game
Having said that, I've never been tempted to take a day off just for a game release. I've been late, but never taken off the whole day.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is awesome. So, so awesome.
Almost kind of shits me a little that reviews have been a little negative based on the fact that it only took a year to develop. If a game is good it's good. Sometimes I think inside knowledge of a game's development can unfairly colour review.

I had another 8 hour session >_>Omi said:
It was broken up by dinner and a few other things though...
Omi said:
I never actually had any issues with that. I'd heard about the problems,
but I just ran over as soon as he mentioned the bomb and used my science skill to remove it.
Fallout 3 tonight ^_^
Oh, it would be legit annual leave. I'd never take an *actual* sickie... I'd just feel guilty as hell and probably end up spending hours in the shower trying to scrub the shame off :lolClipper said:
I didn't mean initially, but I believe they're pretty good at breaking if other stores do. If that's the case, it's good enough for me. I'm sure I've bought something from them before an official release date but I can't remember what it was...2 Minutes Turkish said:
Oh, even after buying a Driving Force GT and looking at getting GT5 on launch, I'm still eyeballing a Kinect (though I'll wait until they do some kind of bonus game for Christmas). I think I'm addicted
I wasn't going to mention this, but given that the discussion is running, I might as well. I can't actually take a sickie at my current job unless I'm actually sick . How un-Australian! At my Uni, the general staff can actually take up to 2 days sick leave without notice, but academic staff must provide a doctor's certificate for every day they take off sick (and unlike our students at exam times, I would never forge a doctor's certificate or try to get a dodgy one).
Still, it's a great job, so I can't really complain. Just seems a bit weird with the double standard and all.

Anyone else going to buy Black Ops (360) for $29 off Catch of the Day tomorrow? (or is it Wednesday?)
They're doing Play TV for $69 as well. Need to have my trigger finger ready for that shit.

I started playing AC2 last week and have been sucked in to it. Even Vanquish has fallen by the wayside and that game is great. I'll just keep playing both at once, which works well as Vanquish is intense from end to end and then add Ass Bro multiplayer in to the mix when I get my copy.
My only complaints about AC2 so far would be that the haystacks/rooftop thingos/benches still feel contrived and gamey and that the platforming has a tendency to go awry at the worst possible moments. I can't count the number of times I've tried to go up a wall only to have Ezio do a flying jump off it in the opposite direction and plummet to the ground. There's some finnicky spots as well when you're trying to scale things, where you just can't seem to get Ezio to move until you shift slightly to one side or the other, then he's off again.

I have it too. But there's nothing wrong with selling them for more, or using them to trade in at EB/JB for other games.
It's on Tuesday, and you'll be able to tell when it starts either by e-mail, or at noon today, just check how much remaining time the Monday deal has. Plus, it's possible that neither Black Ops nor PlayTV will surface as only the top 6 deals chosen by users are going to actually be sold.2 Minutes Turkish said:
Given current numbers, it seems the deals would be:
Samsung 640GB Drive $29
havaianas thongs $1
Samsung ES28 Camera $29
CODBlOps $29
Black Wii $149
Logitech dock $5
PlayTV is way down in 11th place, needing at least 3,800 more likes to become one of the 6 pre-announced deals.
BTW, how is it known that it's the 360 version? The image on the site is generic.

Not expecting to get one, but hell, you never know if you don't have a crack.
If I remember correctly, Halo Reach didn't sell out in the recent hourly deals, so CODBlops will probably be easy enough to get. It's the hardware, like the Wii, that sells out within seconds.
Also, check my previous post to see why you shouldn't be expecting the PlayTV to be there on the day (I editted it in). CODBlops seems safe, though.

But didn't it take half an hour to do so? Perhaps I'm confusing with something else.Fredescu said:
In any case, time zones made me forget that it was already noon for you guys back in Aus. The 6 deals are now confirmed as what I listed in the above post. And given the expiry time on today's deal, it looks like it'll be a 12 noon-12 midnight affair.

Look towards the bottom.
And yeah, I realise Play TV won't be on, I was just hoping.
My memory wasn't 100% on it, so I had a look at the Ozbargain forums. According to them it went on sale at 11am and was sold out by 11:03am. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/31843Clipper said:

I managed a few games over the course of the weekend. I leveled up to about level 8 or 9 in maybe two hours of multiplayer total.DualShadow said:

On 360. It did take a little bit on occasion to get into a game -- moreso on Friday.DualShadow said:
I played Wanted, Manhunt and Alliance. Hadn't levelled up enough to unlock any others.

Add me on 360 if you want and anyone else playing AC:B
