    Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 (19/03/24 PATCH: seems playable?)

    I'm not quite sure what our argument is. I'm very disappointed in BA and Ross in recent years. Maybe the Nacon acquisition was the worst thing to happen.

    Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 (19/03/24 PATCH: seems playable?)

    Ross and BA in the AFL Live 2011 and Don Bradman 14 era were amazing. Incredible public outreach. Games made by and for people who love the sport. Not perfect, but every aspect of the game was done for the right reason. Their cricket games are hanging in their but obviously their AFL games are...

    Hello, I'm hoping to come to Adelaide for our March 30 matchup on Saturday night. I have never been to AO and have zero idea about buying tickets. Ticketek and Ticketmaster has been as useful (useless) as ever and the Port Adelaide website just says that information will come soon. If any of...

    I'm so jealous of what you're about to experience for the first time. Take the time to let the world soak in. The amount of detail is stunning.

    Multiplat Cricket 24

    The company either grew too quickly, or got too greedy, or both. Or just complacent/lazy? AFL Live 1 had a few bugs on release but was well-polished. They were doing play tests at JB and EB Games months before release. It was a great game and really put them on the map. Bradman 14 had the...

    Multiplat Cities: Skylines II

    Releasing the game despite it not being optimized was always going to have pros and cons. I think that they have been pretty upfront. Releasing it and being able to optimize with the help of thousands from the community was always going to yield a better product in the long run rather than...

    A lot of the great base of Bradman 14 got thrown out for Bradman 17 though (who even Ross admits was a big step back).

    Cricket 22 was a way better game than AFL 23. It remains a really good platform on which to build great cricket games. Unfortunately Cricket 24 built basically nothing. Really two different issues.

    Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 (19/03/24 PATCH: seems playable?)

    I think the whole "we can't do this because of Champion Data" is a load of s**t. Do any of the US sports games suffer from these issues? And even if this were still an issue, that is completely independent of the fact that you can barely do basic football functions like kick, handball and mark...

    Multiplat Cricket 24

    I think we should be honest about this because we are dealing with a very different type of issue compared with AFL 23. AFL 23 is s**t. Utter s**t. The marketing was deceptive (e.g. Pro Team), the gameplay a huge step backwards from their 12 year older game, and the release was utterly...

    My guess is that cricket has less s**t going on at a given time so it's more doable on a weaker engine (Switch).

    KISS to play at the Grand Final

    I live in the States. Saw em at a festival where over the four days the headliners were: Tool (snorefest) Avenged Sevenfold (epic) Kiss (epic) Foo Fighters (really good even if not really my thing)

    Sounds like a classic Big Ant release. I'm a pretty big BA defender but it's almost impossible after the AFL 24 debacle and the Rugby 24 delay.

    Multiplat Cyberpunk 2077

    Always held off on this game because of the obvious issues. It's now $29 USD on PS5 and with 2.0 out and a DLC impending, I figured I'll give it a go. Going to go in with an open mind, because it should be a very cool game if the bugs are fixed. I do most of my gaming on my Series X but...

    Multiplat Rugby 24 - Releasing 7th September

    Big Ant is a fan of throwing others under the bus for their ****ed up releases. This sounds as if it's the players/teams fault for not providing them with access for photos. And as if any player would want a game delayed for 5 months simple for more photogrammy

    XBX Starfield

    Played a couple of hours. Honestly felt very clunky. The graphics are definitely not Series X era compared to most of the stuff you see come out these days. The dialog is clunky, as is the classic Bethesda "stare", although I figure perhaps some folks like that style. Combat and the AI also...

    Jumper clash fails

    Fremantle vs Collingwood was bizarre. I don't think their usual all white strip is perfect, but it's better. What it should be is Collingwood in away kit + white shorts and Fremantle in all purple. I don't give a s**t if it's your home game. If you are going to have a jersey with a...

    Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 (19/03/24 PATCH: seems playable?)

    I love the cricket games (well, 3/4) but they also are typically very sloppy on release Don Bradman 14 - bowlers never regained fatigue so they bowled at 110 km/h after 3 overs and just got pummeled. Also issues with magnetic fielders, particularly caught and bowled. Don Bradman 17 - just a...
