Baseball is a great live sport, not because of the sport itself, but because it gives you a chance to hang out and talk with you friends/family for 3 1/2 hours. It isn't an interesting TV sport except in in the World Series. It's about as interesting to watch on TV as golf. Which is death. High level tennis is pretty cool to watch on TV, though. I'd hate to watch it live, but I'll watch a few sets during Wimbledon or the Olympics and enjoy it.


Baseball is such an old white guy (and Dominican) white guy sport.

The first hockey blitz style game was amazing though. NHL Hitz. A friend got it as one of his launch Gamecube games.

How are you going to act like like Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey didn't exist? That, WCW/NWO World Tour, and MK Trilogy were my 1997 Christmas.

In a thread that's occasionally filled to bursting with some ugly ass shit, this just caught my eye. It's beautiful in its amateurish ugliness. It's like some kid with a pirated version of Photoshop and his own hand-painted blue screen wall somehow saved up enough money for a half-assed photoshoot from Dwayne "The Poontang Pie" Johnson.

Baseball is good to just have on in the background. I can't imagine sitting and attentively watching any sport, unless it's World's Strongest Man or Lumberjack Olympics.

How are you guys going to talk about baseball and Neo Geo and not about 2020 Super Baseball or Baseball Stars 2. I wish somebody would make a new arcade style hockey game like HItz. Nope those won't do Call of Duty numbers sorry.

The only sport less athletic than Baseball is Golf.

I think steroids should be mandatory in Baseball. Think about it: how fucking awesome would it be to see some Ryback and Batista-sized dudes hitting homers all day? Fucking awesome, man.

I never played it, but the only hockey/football games I ever liked were 3D Hockey and Blitz. I guess I liked Super High Impact on SNES, but that was basically the 16bit version of Blitz. Loved NBA Jam/TE/Hang Time/Show Time on NBC. I gave up on any non 2K basketball games after I got a Dreamcast when they were $50 and played NBA 2K01. Blew my mind. Easily the best basketball game I had ever played until that point. I put a ton of time into it even though I wasn't really that big of a basketball fan. Basketball is probably my favorite sport, but I don't follow it that much and really only keep up with the Pacers every few months.

I played the fuck out of 2K13 as well. I do enjoy the Virtua Tennis series, but any football game that isn't Blitz style can STICK IT, brothers.

Uncensored JR and WrassleGAF would get along great.
WWE booking CM Punk & Daniel Bryan vs Luke Harper & Eric Rowan at Survivor Series instead of booking The Shield vs. The Wyatts: I quit trying to follow the logic of most TV wrestling creative. I just watch and try to enjoy what I see. I have no answer for you. Sorry.

His blogs are so much more entertaining now that it isn't full of PR bs.

He got pretty puffy when he went from massive after his return from the quad injury to hurting his groin and wearing biker shorts and not being able to work out for 8 months.

Cerny is a fraud, folks. Go play Marble Madness and join the Sunflower Bandwagon.

Of course, sensible folks will wait until they actually play it to form an opinion.

That's what I did; same with the One launch games. Knack is a simple ass family platformer. No wheel reinventing there.

Also I can't believe that you named them Linda and Mick... And they're banging

This is the worst fanfic EVER

Wait, people are surprised that Knack is bad? Every bit of gameplay shown has made it look super dull. Seems like more of a tech demo turned into a game and that art style is just horrid.

Never really had any interest in Knack, so I don't really care either way. Of course better games are always good, esp. since Knack is pretty much guaranteed to end up on PS+ soon.

One good thing about a 2 week delayed launch is the abundance of reviews and user comments to decide what games to get.

Knack always looked to have combat on par with the Great Khali's wrasslin' movepool and its few apparent platforming moments are probably as successful as Ric Flair taking a trip to the top rope.
As Boots said I don't think anyone should really be surprised by this if you ever took the time to watch any footage.

The crazy bet now is which will score lower on Metacritic? Ryse or Knack? I think Ryse will have it beat, but not by much.

Watch Ryse be an awesome 10/10 game. Just watch.

To be honest, I think Ryse is probably one of those hit/miss games you either love or hate with a passion.

I'm with you. I think for some people it'll really resonate, but others will feel so disconnected. I feel like I will feel disconnected. Thanks Gamefly! Now I can find out on the cheap.

Ryse will score high in the eyecandy department, but the gameplay is shallow.

One of the other things that grinded my gears about Ryse was the early God of War comparisons when GoW is Greek mythology and Ryse is Roman historical fiction. They also play nothing alike, aside from the fact that they both have QTE's.
