Re: The Video Game Thread
I always want to buy games like this but they very rarely translate well into a video game. Soccer and basketball games are usually the exception but I've always found rugby and gridiron style games to be very odd to play

Wait 6 months until it drops to half price, it's not worth 99

Haha just downloaded the demo on Steam and it's just a thing to make custom players and edit current ones. Great game demo.

I don't think the rugby league games ever go for that cheap. They are terrible too, I'd pay $20 but I'm not paying $79 when NBA 2K and Fifa will be cheaper than that on release.-TW- wrote:Wait 6 months until it drops to half price, it's not worth 99

It's always odd to me how bad NRL games are, and yet they don't seem to depreciate like the standard game does.Green_Hammock wrote:I don't think the rugby league games ever go for that cheap.

Re: The Video Game Thread
It's depressing.
A rugby league game with Rugby 08 style game play would be brilliant. Will never happen with the current mob though.

well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.
Re: The Video Game Thread
Man Rugby 08 was good for it's time, if they remade it with today's graphics it would be perfect

Re: The Video Game Thread
I'm still contemplating getting RLL4, however I need to get a new console to play it. Suggestions?
Re: The Video Game Thread
You can't really go wrong with either the Xbox One or the PS4. The newer versions both do 4k and all that now so it's just going to come down to which one has the better controller in your opinion and maybe which one has exclusive games that interest you.The Nickman wrote:I'm still contemplating getting RLL4, however I need to get a new console to play it.

They just remade the old Crash Bandicoot games for example and it's PS4 only so that's why I got one of those.

Re: The Video Game Thread
Overall I'm pretty disappointed with it so far, the game seems unfinished.
It seems harder to play than what RLL 3 was, for instance when I select the attacking strategy to put in a kick, the playmakers don't seem to drop back to position like they would in previous games.
It's produced a couple of funny glitches so far, does the ref yell "HELD!!" for anyone else every time there's a kick off to restart every second half?
Also there was a moment where I paused and subbed Sia off, when I resumed play I realised Sia had just been tackled so instead of playing the ball he ran off to the interchange bench with it while all the other players waited for the play the ball. Play stopped for a while and eventually Storm were awarded the scrum from where Sia ran out hahahah.

Re: The Video Game Thread
Love my PS4 but if I had to choose between a PS4 and an Xbox one today not sure which way I'd go, I'm about to get an Xbox since Conan Exiles is coming out about 6months earlier on it plus State of Decay 2 early next year is Xbox exclusive.

Bring back ARL 96. Best League game i've ever played... you could actually run into the uprights and you'd fall over and drop the ball... Fatty's one liners were pretty amusing too "My grandma would've made that tackle", "Great try saver from the Posts!" was gold!

it's data thirsty but works great at $270- with forza was a bargain.
I'm enjoying rll4 so far, i only created a player to play career with on rll3 and so far comparable on rll4

Re: The Video Game Thread
From most reports I've read the gameplay is far superior to previos rugby league games, but you have to be patient, it takes a fair bit to get used to. There sounds like quite a few glitches still too, but surely they'll be ironed out with patches?
Re: The Video Game Thread
You'd think so, afl is quite good after a few patches and it was putrid out of the box

Re: The Video Game Thread
I've used an Xbox since upgrading from PS2 whenever that was. I'm actually probably going to change to a PlayStation next time, more exclusive games I'm interested in and from what I've heard they are better/more reliable

Re: The Video Game Thread
I've got both PS4 and Xbone, don't see much of a difference in reliability, I use both of them equally as much. If I was looking at a new console I'd probably save for a couple of months and get the Xbox One X due in October (I think).

I loved both ETs rugby league AND ARL96... played them both so much!
Re: The Video Game Thread
yeah both had great points to them, commodore64 you could play 2 player co-op was great you could actually put a teammate into a gap.

Haha I asked for the 500 with the price the lady told me and she grabbed the 1TB instead and scanned it, so either the staff had the prices wrong or I got a discount for being such a cutie

I'm contemplating whether to start another competition with higher difficulty, start a new career doing the rookie player mode or to go back to playing Fallout 4.
