Probably not me. The reviews do sound great but the overriding conclusion is that you won't enjoy playing it.

If I was off work for 6 months I might give it a go.

the sense of Achievement when you down a boss of epic size is great though one of the only games that cause you to fist pump due to spending several hours sobbing as you are massacered in 1-2 hits

Indeed, I can see why people would play it. It sounds like a fine game. But I don't have days and days to devote to it anymore.

One of the reviews mentions how cruel it is and how it can take 10 hours of real time just to cure yourself of a curse cast by a frog which halves your health. Imagine doing that and then getting hit by it again? 10 hours?

Dont know what it is about Fifa 12 but I really dont like it.

Cant put my finger on it but im not enjoying it this year. Might have to sell it to fund Forza 4.

Sold mine to CEX yesterday for 28 quid. My step dad bought it aswell anyway so if I decide I want to put myself through playing it again I can always borrow it. I haven't enjoyed it anything like previous games.


Looking forward to getting hold of RAGE, Apparently needs about 25GB of space for the PC version Must be one hell of a game!

Must admit i never could do the cradle on the hardest setting and had to plead with my mate to come round and do it for me (which he did!).

What was so magical about Goldeneye though was the multi-player - one of the key reasons why i didnt attend as many lectures as i should of done!

I remember doing the cradle on hardest but it was a hard slog. I was in year 9-10 at school when this game was around so spent hours and hours just playing it, also had my mates round for 4 player multiplayer every day too. It was Ocarina of time when I was in my last year of school that took over my life though. Can't do that now though, I bought Resident Evil 4 on the Playstation Network the other week and think I've only had an hour on it so far!

Right that's me finished with FIFA 12, mother loving ea servers keep disconnecting while playing ultimate team and kicking me back to the home screen. Tonight, last game in a tournament 2-1 up 89th minute, loses connection to ea servers, game over have to log in and play it again.
Stupid stupid way of playing the ultimate team, I'm not even playing an online game. EA can go and love right off with this FIFA. Load of poopy doo.

I've not even bothered going online with it yet. In the weeks after release it's swamped. The problem you've got is a known issue and they are promising to sort it ASAP. Just leave it a month and it will be fine.

I haven't picked 12 up yet with having to send the Xbox on a short trip to Germany due to a 'minor malfunction' involving a 2 year old and a disk drive, and I'm now having real 2nd thoughts about doing so.

I'm still playing, and enjoying, FIFA 10. Might stick with this for another year, or maybe even give ProEvo a bash, just for a bit of variety.

Re: PS, Xbox, Wii, PC and other Gaming #9 : Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:42 pm  

I think I'll be trading FIFA in for Pro Evo next week

Selling my PS3. Will throw in a HDMI lead and the following games: Infamous, NCAA 11, G1 Jockey 4, Uncharted 2 and EA Sports Active. It's the 320gb model and is like new. Literally only been used a handful of time. PM me any offers.

Re: PS, Xbox, Wii, PC and other Gaming #9 : Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:22 pm  

Decided to download some demo's for the PS3 and amongst them was Killzone 2 which i have just been playing.

Firstly what hit me was how slow it is in comparison with other shooters, i found it really slugish to the point that even looking around you seems to take an eternity.

Really glad i checked out the demo before thinking about getting the game!

Very disapointing.
