Picked this up during lunch. I hear this games fuk awesome. Finally, another game to play on my PS3.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #1 on:** May 16, 2007, 04:31:13 PM »

Yeah

But if it rocks I dont care.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #2 on:** May 16, 2007, 04:36:35 PM »

Oh BluRay

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #3 on:** May 16, 2007, 04:37:15 PM »

It sounds REALLY good tho!

hey maf, does it have online play? if so, count me in for some versus... i should be getting it within the next day or two

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #5 on:** May 16, 2007, 04:55:26 PM »

do NOT regard the 1up review of this game -- it's inane. The Operation Sports folks LOVE this game. Yes, it is online -- in fact, it even syncs up the results of your season with the current real-world MLB season. http://previews.operationsports.com/previews.aspx?game=mlb07ps3

I snatched the PSP version, since I get far more opportunities to play my PSP than my consoles.

Hyp: we could do versus in a week or so, I need time to practice. This is my first basebal game since....since the dreamcast I think haha.

Also .HACK! But yeah i'll buy a six pack and hunker down for some versus at some point.

Yeah, The Show is the best baseball game out there nowadays. But I'm a dirty poor and only have a 360 $:-\$

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #9 on:** May 16, 2007, 05:05:19 PM »

hyp, if youre serious about getting it lets plan to have a game next Friday or Sunday.

Willco: Get burnout revenge or 'borrow it' from the store omg pretty and its burnout, cant go wrong!

I still haven't squeezed the enjoyment out of Crackdown, Guitar Hero 2 and R6: Vegas yet. I've been kind of addicted to Guitar Hero recently $:-\$

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #11 on:** May 16, 2007, 05:23:38 PM »

Anyone check out the Crackdown downloadable?

Also I bought Pinball FX; fuck gamespot. Two of the three tables are a lot of fun and the physics are fine. I dont care about tilt physics anyway. Maybe that doesnt make me HARDCORE in the PINBALL ELITE CIRCLE but wtf.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #12 on:** May 16, 2007, 05:26:03 PM »

hm, maybe i'll trade my psp version in for credit on the ps3 version if EVERYONE IS PLAYING

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #13 on:** May 16, 2007, 05:30:43 PM »

I've been thinking about picking this up for my yearly baseball fix, since Konami has decided to release the greatest baseball title on the PSP and Wii only.

Screw you, Konami. SCREW. YOU.

Just return the PSP version at lamestop...unless they ran out of PS3 copies and/or will give you 'the business' lol

They'll do the condescending 'did you pre-order *sneer*' first, then when you reply "No, why?" they'll either back down if they have copies or if they dont have copies get more obnoxious "Sorry, sold out. Just reserves now. Maybe ya shoulda pre-ordered *SHRUG*"

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #22 on:** May 16, 2007, 08:09:08 PM »

I might get the PSP version since I've been all about "Portable Gaming" lately.

This decision is also based on the fact I don't own a PS3. Dirty Poor confirmed

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #23 on:** May 16, 2007, 08:09:38 PM »

i traded it in and got the ps3 version. RED SOX ARE MINE, BITCHES

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #24 on:** May 17, 2007, 12:56:21 AM »

Its the VF of Basebal sims I love it.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #25 on:** May 17, 2007, 01:52:52 PM »

Its awesome, the commentary during my first game was hilarious.

"Well I gotta say that ball was picked up nicely but see here, when he throws it to home plate...no one is running towards home plate!"

I meant to throw to first

I used to do that all the time in Tommy Lasorda's Baseball on the Genesis.

Blame the upper management for ramming it down everyone's anus that works there.

Man, I wish I could get this, but again- filthy poor.

My PSN tag is MAFSTATION

I think....

lets try and get some regular bore games going. Sunday is really the only day I KNOW I can play online. This games a lot of fun.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #34 on:** May 18, 2007, 02:43:38 AM »

my tag is Bydo.

I call Red Sox!

Cheebs · « **Reply #35 on:** May 18, 2007, 09:22:47 AM »

Is it really the best baseball game? This is getting me very curious. I haven't played a great baseball game in quite some time. I need to keep my eye on this franchise for whenever I get a PS3. I have grown to accept the fact sony first party sports games are bad, things changed I take it.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #36 on:** May 18, 2007, 09:38:24 AM »

Its not the best LOOKING next get baseball game, but its a much better baseball game than the Sega offering.

hyp · « **Reply #37 on:** May 18, 2007, 01:04:44 PM »

hey MAF, can't play this weekend $:-\$ fucking shipment got delayed til monday. argh.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #38 on:** May 18, 2007, 01:20:04 PM »

That's fine, ill be ready the next Sunday too

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #39 on:** May 18, 2007, 01:52:25 PM »

Sony's MLB titles have always been pretty good, but the franchise made MASSIVE strides with MLB 06 The Show. MLB 07 builds on that base and provides probably the best pure baseball SIM on the larger market. You can't go wrong with any of the 3 versions -- PS2, PSP, or PS3.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #40 on:** May 18, 2007, 04:30:17 PM »

KINDA tempted to get the psp version too, but ill give the ps3 version more time to see if I catch THE FEVER

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #41 on:** May 18, 2007, 05:47:37 PM »

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/mlb07theshow/review.html?sid=6170846

Gamespot finally posted its review of The Show. a strong 8.2. They give Kudos to the Road to The Show mode which IGN thought was worse than PS2 07's version. Boggle.

I am also surprised how much graphics counts for with reviewers these days.

Actually I read a bit more, looks like this should have me worried:

Quote

Our online experience was mixed; when lag wasn't an issue, everything was great, but when lag became a problem--and it often did--the game was virtually unplayable.

I wish PSN was as good as XBL

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #42 on:** May 18, 2007, 05:55:56 PM »

1up didnt really seem to have even played the game. IGN and Gamespot at least took their time getting a proper review out.

Goddamn EGM and 1Up have become the Gamepro of gaming publications...fuck...SUB GamePro level at this point. Most of the reviews in EGM these days are childish rants about their quirky likes and dislikes.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #43 on:** May 18, 2007, 06:09:29 PM »

Yeah a lot of the reviews have turned into these weird conversations I might overhear in a video-game store, which is not what I really expect from a gaming PUBLICATION.

But to each their own I guess, at the very least they amuse themselves which keeps them from fucking up important matters that might actually affect me.
