What happens if you hate sports? What about the soldier gamers that couldn't give two shits about sports or sport stars, but would be really interested in something like this?
When are they going to set something like this up where the celebs are actually video game celebs, like Hideo Kojima and/or David Hayter?
IDK about other people, but if I were stuck in war torn Iraq and got to play MGO vs David Hayter, well that'd just make my whole damn tour.
@TexasJack: What happens if you hate sports? Who the hell cares? I'm not a basketball fan but if Michael Jordan came to my house I'd still be pretty damned pumped to meet/spend time with him.
Polamalu insisted soldiers comb his luxurious locks while sidelined, oblivious to Live's and his teammates' limitations while Big Ben and company stunk up "Under Pressure."
The game has all kinds of problems (connectivity, UI, tutorials, different types of glitches, not so high production value), but if you're into Bloodbowl, or rugby/american football and all things "orcs and dwarfs" the game is quite enjoyable and private leagues are tons of fun.
Also, the game is meant to be played in turn-based mode, even if there is a real time mode.
To anyone on the fence about this one, I strongly recommend to read the match write ups at rockpapershotgun.com. That's what got me into this game. #bloodbowl
@Taggart6 once shot a man just to watch him die.: I haven't played mutant league football, but supposedly bloodbowl is quite similar, though after being released in france a few months ago it STILL has ridiculous connection issues, making it nearly unplayable online for some people (as in, only being able to successfully create a match with someone around 1/20 tries) #bloodbowl
Mainly, the game is based off of an old tabletop miniatures game of the same name. It uses the same rules as the tabletop game, and the game just DOES NOT do very well explaining the damn thing.
Expect to read the rulebook for the tabletop version (which is supplied digitally, at no cost) to have a full understanding of what is going on. If you are willing to spend a bit of time on the game, the investment will pay off. If that sounds like too much effort, then skip it.
@(zombie) buddhathing: these are nothing compared to the ones i saw them in last week. They had a ring of feathers around the collar. F'n hideous. #madden
@Dr-Horrible: I saw the new ones when I was looking for a suitable picture. The level of crazy that the designers of OU are working at is so batshit that I couldn't form a proper opinion as to which is 'better' or 'worse' without passing out, so I just went with the ones I was already thinking of. #madden
@(zombie) buddhathing: Hahaha! YES! If it were possible i would try to agree with you more. I hadn't seen the gray get up or that insane yellow Dayglo and black. i think that it is safe to say that the designer has in fact had his mind grapes blown. #madden
Thank Christ they're improving coverage of the flats. It's so frustrating to set coverage specifically to try and prevent screens and dump-offs only to have the AI fuck it up time after time. #madden
@NeVeRMoRe666: I don't get the whole grey/brown thing. I'm looking at my 360 collection (easy access as it's on a shelf right next to me), and the only games I have that fall under that are Fallout 3, CoD: MW, Gears of War, Assassin's Creed and GTA IV. That's out of 28 games.
Viva Pinata: now there's a game that will make your eyes bleed. #madden
@NeVeRMoRe666: Nothing particularly new. Any of the Halo's. ODST is the least colorful, but it's still more so than a WW2 shooter. Star Wars TFU, Civilization Revolution, Viva Pinata and Trouble in Paradise, Mirror's Edge (actually more bright than colorful, but the colors that are there sure stand out). Mass Effect's pretty colorful considering you're in space stations and whatnot most of the time. Fable 2. GH/RB/RB 2.
The rest of my games aren't especially colorful, they're just not especially drap either. Full list at [www.playfire.com] if you're interested. I only listed 360 games (although some of those are multi-platform), but that link has all my games on it. #madden

It just happens to be that the Superbowl is huge over there.

I played the beta and read the RPS articles religiously. I'd just rather sit on the couch and play...
Oh and this game is amazingly fun once you get the hang of it. I recommend it. #bloodbowl

How does this game compare?
I've heard mixed things but this free DLC looks like a positive. #bloodbowl
