What are you buying this week?

[CeeKay]

nothing planned.

[TiLT]

Probably going to preorder Legend of Grimrock when an announcement is made about that this week, but that's all.

[Razgon]

I am seriously considering buying Skyrim for the Xbox for my GF I must admit... other than that, nothing.

[Soulchilde]

nada

[metallicorphan]

it was going to be Silent Hill Collection this week,but er...yeah i think i will skip that now

[Bullwinkle]

I liked the Kinect stuff for Tiger in the demo, but I doubt I'll use it for long.  Still, I may pick it up anyway, since I'm always a sucker for it and then never play it.

I'm with you - Thinking that I might go with the Move version though....Hmmmm

[Isgrimnur]

Tiger Woods, although I apparently ordered it before release day delivery was available, so I should get it sometime in early April.

Warriors Orochi 3

Oh, the preorder info is this week? Cool.

[EngineNo9]

I might be getting Ridge Racer: Unbounded, based on impressions/reviews.  I love Bugbear, but generally dislike Ridge Racer, so I have to see which side wins out. 

[USMC Kato]

Warriors Orochi 3

Everytime I see this title, I keep thinking to myself.. Me, Grimrock.... then I realized that they spelt it wrong...

[Jarrodhk]

Warriors Orochi 3

Yeah, going to grab this if I can.

[Purge]

Warriors Orochi 3

*ahem* Your post is a duplicate.

Warriors Orochi 3

I was also going to add Jarrodhk to the quote too.

IGN just gave TW13 a 6.5/10, but this quote tells me I'm OUT:

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 restricts access to 20 of its 36 courses. Players can rent one round on a locked course for 6000 Coins, the earnings of about 10 rounds at 18 holes, each of which takes about 20 minutes. For those who can't spend the inordinate amount of time required to borrow one round of golf, EA presents the option to pay for Coins. Rather than selling the audience iconic places like Banff Springs, it's made it more expensive than ever – and it's temporary.
 
Completing "Gold Mastery" tasks is the only way to open a course forever. The challenges are not only extremely difficult and time consuming -- sinking five Eagles, hitting the green in regulation 80 times, etc. -- but must be completed on each course players hope to own. Tiger 13 golfers need to pay dozens if their hours and/or dollars to spend additional time to possibly access a course indefinitely.
 
EA is well within its right to restrict access to as much optional content as it pleases, but Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 features an exploitative add-on system which displays complete contempt for its audience.
 

[Morgul]

Putting in the pre order for Grimlock on Friday.

Fuck EA.

I dropped the extra 10 for the Collector's edition.  The wiki page has a breakdown in what courses are included where. 

There are 16 courses listed on the standard disc, 22 with the Collectors Edition (Augusta National Par 3, Oakmont, PGA National Champion Course, Pinehurst No. 2, The Old White TPC, Whistling Straits, Straits Course), with 11 DLC only courses.

Three are listed as retailer-specific preorder only.

I never bought any of the DLC courses last year and got my enjoyment out of the game.  I don't expect I'll be worried about spending real money on spacebux this year either.

[TiLT]

It looks like EA is trying very, very hard to beat Robert Kotick at being the most hated entity in the gaming industry.

[metallicorphan]

yeah i just saw the DLC which has flooded the marketplace,courses and sponsorships were there


25 separate pieces of DLC costing all kinds of prices

some examples:
River Course at Blackwolf Run-400 points
Ping Sponsorship-240 points
Callaway Sponsorship-320 points
Emerald Dragon course-400 points
The Predator jungle course-400 points

Hey! That's not entirely fair, blaming EA.

This is TIGER WOODS we're talking about... that man has dedicated his life to screwing as many people as possible - getting EA to help out is par for the course!!

[Purge]

I think I just had a pungasm.

Shouldn't the sponsors pay you?

[metallicorphan]

FWIW-not sure about the sponsors but i do remember there being a lot of DLC courses for last years TW game(on release day),so i guess this is working for EA

[KC]

Nothing this week.

Last year was 16 courses included, 5 in the PS3-only Collector's edition, and 18 DLC courses available at $4 or $7 a pop, or two packs of $15 for 5 courses or $35 for 13 courses

I hate that website.

South Park Tenoman's Revenge is out on XBLA today for 800 points,i just played the trial,it's a typical platform,but i liked it and was laughing

Usually for 4 players and it seems each player has a special power,as i played on my own as Cartman it told me that as Kenny i can do a super jump,they should of done it like SEGA's Psycho Fox where you could change characters to do different powers if playing on your own
