    Random note: now that Phil Collins has entered the thread ... all throughout the 80's, people kept telling me that Phil Collins was the best drummer in the world and that Prince was the best guitarist.

    How much coke was everyone doing in the 80's to make such crazy proclamations? :crazy:

    Phil was an excellent drummer, but not the best. Prince, I will argue was the best. I was a kid in the 80's so there was no Coke involved in my opinion. :lol:

    The thing with Phil is that a lot of his hit songs involved crappy drum machine rhythm. It would be like someone telling me Stevie Via was a great guitar shredder but the only songs I heard him play, he was rocking the pan flute.

    NCAA Football is officially dead. :cry:

    NCAA 13 is one of the best football games I ever played. I hadn't played video games in over five years. One day I was waiting for a haircut and a nearby store had a demo of an Xbox and NCAA 13. I instantly bought it and I think I played five season over the next month.

    Yes, it sucks. It also sucks it happened right before the BCS was going to go bye-bye. NCAA is the one title I look forward to every year.

    NCAA 14 is very strong and they integrated the draft classes with Madden again, so there is that.

    So we gotta wait until all this clears up. I do think that eventually players will get some sort of stipend... and at that point, the NCAA may get the go-ahead to green light to endorse a video game. But a lot of that is hypothetical, and it could be several years.
    :(

    I don't think this will ever clear up. There's too many men. Too many people. Making too many problems. And not much love to go round. Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

    Just started the GTA4 dlc and it really isn't making me want to buy a new GTA...

    GTA4 was garbage.
    GTA5 is pretty badass.

    The games are very different.

    Agree 100000%!!

    I loved 3, vc, San Andreas. HATED 4.

    Loved red dead and now loving 5. Amazing game. 10/10 for sure and a must buy!!

    Just scanned through a bunch of pages and didn't see anything -- any Call of Duty commentary yet? Black Ops 2 was my first experience with the series. Wicked frustrating at first, it being such a fast-paced shooter and my not having played an online shooter since SOCOM, but started to really enjoy it after I got used to it. Pick 10 system is great and just about every weapon is usable. Excellent design and balance and the gun gfx are pretty amazing. Lag and lag comp aren't nearly the problem that some people claim, though that certainly depends on a few variables.

    I got burnt out on COD a few years ago. Got halfway thru BlackOps 1 and got sick of the formula. After seeing "You were killed by a grenade. Watch out for the grenade danger indicator." for the 20,000th time, I had enough of the series.

    CoD is pretty much how my friends and I from home still see each other while we're all at school. Once a week we'll get on and play for hours. It's great. But I do have to say it has gotten a little old since I've been playing since CoD 2. And it doesn't help that my favorite is still CoD 4. I haven't liked any of the others as much but I still do really like them. I guess because that was the first game I played a ton on XBox live back in high school.
