Anyone else playing Civ 5 right now? Love this game, the new combat makes it worth it alone.

I heard it sucked and was ridiculously buggy (Seriously, why is Blizzard the only company that doesn't hate its customers).

I might buy civ4 now that it's stable and all of the expansions can be had in a "Complete" release.

I had that issue in MW2, where the RS click would be too sensitive.

Go to your settings - there's a way to modify it so you have less misclicks with buttons for melee, etc.


it seems to be only online matchmaking, and i bought a new controller and the new one is doing the same thing albeit not as much. There is a right stick button sensitivity?! i will have to check that out. The odd thing is it isn't doing it at all in MW2, and it melee's in halo reach when i am not even pressing on the stick sometimes.

From whom? The multitudes of critics giving it 9+/10 almost all across the board?

It also can play music and video, has output for TV, a 4 GB flash drive (with mini SD slot for extra memory), and 6-8 hour battery life. I mean, it can do anything and you can find them on most websites for 80-100 bucks. I hope it's not too good to be true - I should be getting mine in about a week, so I'll let you know how it works.



I messed around with this a bit on Saturday, and let me tell ya, this thing was sweet

End-users. Who have said the game is rediculously buggy.

I don't trust game critics to give a fair and balanced review. Been burned far too often.

So if I do but it, I'll buy it when it's a stable release. Knowing current PC game devs, that would be the 1.8 release.

Wise words. Case in point: Creative Assembly and the Total War series. I have given up entirely: when I bought MTW2, a bug kept me from being able to command battles (the biggest part of the game) for six months. It was actually the most serious bug in the game, and they didn't get around to fixing it for six months! Thousands of us had the same issue. And then, of course, there was the ETW fiasco, but I'd refused to buy it, so HA!

Anyway, yeah. Blizzard is really impressive by those standards but, to be fair, those "standards" hardly justify the use of the word.

To be fair, I don't play many new PC games and I prefer to play the console versions if I can help it because it's more cost effective when you don't care about playing with other people. I'll be flat out honest though - I can't find many good PC game reviews myself.

However, the number of decent written reviews provided by the users of GameFAQs - especially for games typically unpopular in America - really does help. YouTube almost always has the footage that helps makes the decision as well, and within an hour tops, I can usually tell if I want the game or not.

The biggest piece of advice that I can give is to perform due diligence on your decisions, because you shouldn't be buying many games that have you quitting 10 hours later. That might seem counter-intuitive, but only does it work but in the process, you might learn about games that you would have never thought about trying in the first place.

I hope that this helps out.

Anybody have NBA 2K11 yet?

I am debating if I want this for Wii ($50) or PS2 ($20)

If you have it for Wii, do you just turn the Wii-mote sideways and play "classic like" or do you have to use basketabll type motions? Odd question, I know, just kind of curious.

Thanks in advance!

If by "doesn't hate its customers" you mean "takes 36 hours to respond to a bug report/customer service problem, generally gives you the run-around when you finally do contact them, releases unbalanced games and bans for what you do in their games offline" then yeah I see your point with Blizzard.

Civ5 is probably the most fun I've had with a game this year. I'm currently playing it, EVE and Reach (less so reach, because the maps are stupidly unbalanced). I'm considering NFL 11 because the create a franchise mode, complete with upgrading your stadium, looks like a lot of fun.

I have NBA 2k11, but for the 360, so can't really help you with your question MM. I haven't played a 2k game for a year or two, so it's kinda hard picking up the controls because of all the complex additions with post moves, dribbling, etc. It's lots of fun though, and pretty realistic imo. The ratings aren't super-inflated like they were in years past (above 88 or so is a star, mid 90s+ is superstar, high 70s is still pretty good, high 60s is like 8-12 minutes a game rotation player).

@Tran: What maps don't you like on Reach? I like the remakes of Ivory Tower and Ascension, although if you have good Snipers on Pinnacle and get control of both towers, then it is basically game over. I detest sword base, but I think the rest of the maps are okay. Small caveat: I only play living dead, team slayer, swat and team snipers, with some invasion mixed in every now and then.

From what I have read the only real difference besides its appearance is it has more ram and it comes with a controller to play games on your tv (the a320 connects directly to the tv). Also the a330 is not made by the same company as the a320. I have also read that the a330 is a bit glitchy and the controls don't handle as well as the a320.

The thing is, I hear the 320 has issues with SNES and really the main reasons for me to get this is to play the games like Chrono Trigger, SMB RPG, Harvest Moon, Zelda, etc....

Have you had issues with any of these?

Get a PSP-1000, hack it, and put snesx on it. Enjoy tons of other games/emus in the process.

Probably for free if you're into that! That's another thing that comes with hacking your psp to put custom firmware on it.

QFT.... heading to pick it up in an hour, but i agreed to not play online unless my brother has it... LOL

Game sure is glitchy, which is to be expected this early on. The underbarrel flame thrower is pretty damn op, but i think more balanced to clear room campers out than oma tube.
