if it were LEGO Star Wars or Pirates I'd definitely bite, maybe even Batman. But while I loved the HP books and liked the movies, I have yet to see a video game that works well in the universe.

What the shaqfu is up with the newbs we have been getting lately?

It's clearly pepisman. Him randomly mentioning that he hates Coca-Cola in that PM was the red flag.

I wouldn't plan on getting a very high feedback score if I were you.

I'm certain that it's pepsiman due to his horrible spelling and of course his hatred of Coca-Cola. And he said that people were being a jerk to him when they really weren't.

I just don't understand why he keeps coming back

I still haven't gotten to it yet, but seems like it could be something I will enjoy I mean GodofUncharted gave it a 6/10 :lol: but as for Harry Potter I went back to years 1-4 and the spells aren't all that fun to use so maybe I'll pass unless maybe I can grab a vita version

 

[TooPoor]

Since you guys are talking about the Run, I dare to say I loved it. I like how all the geographical scenes are rather accurate, unlike when games portray a wildly inaccurate London or Shanghai (looking at you Kane and Lynch). For the recent titles, this and Shift are among my favorites. One for after-work relaxation and one for some serious racing.

I do hope the next gen consoles can make use of the recent breakthroughs in memory technology and work on those load times.

For me, the only area where The Run really drops the ball is the Challenge Series. Unless you have a friend who has achieved a gold medal on a race, there's really no way to know if you're on pace to beat the required time. When you do have a friend with a gold medal, the game shows the time difference between you and your friend so you know if you need to reset your checkpoint.

You are dead on with the load times, I felt like I was back in the PS1 days. I enjoyed the run a lot, but my main gripe was that while playing, you could see what this game could have been. Imagine if they actually let you race the whole cross country trip instead of just bits and pieces of it. I would love to race like that instead of the game telling me that in an hour and a half I've driven 2000 miles.

 

[DFogz]

Since everyone else is, I may as well throw in my 2 cents on The Run.

Fun, if annoying. The drafting system sucks (really? build a meter for a temporary speed boost?) I don't know why they chose to go with an upgrade system either....I don't like that I have to keep leveling up so I can unlock things like drafting, drifting, and better nitrous boosts.
I hate rubber-band racers, and this is one of the worst offenders I've seen. If I'm 5+ seconds *ahead* of my friends best time, and he won the race, you would think I would win the race too? Nope.
It's a fun game, but extremely frustrating when you keep doing record-breaking runs to have the AI rubberband and pass you at the last second. Even though you're at top speed and the other driver is in the same car so you know there's no possible way they can be going that fast.
Aside from the fact that you can beat your best time and still lose it's not a bad game.

 

[ooga]

Speaking of the run did everyone else get the limited edition from BB in their order? I'm guessing it may be like Darkness II, where BB only stocks the limited edition.

I got the LE. Since people said they got it as well, I assumed it was nearly universal.

 

[JSiggy]

The run is freaking awesome!!!

it's like a fast & furious movie in a video game

I really like F&F though

wish I had not waited this long to get it, but only paying 4.99 is even sweeter!!!

 

[phoenixlau]

I'min the middle of The Run, and it is one of the worst and most infuriating racing games I have ever played. I regret wasting my $5.

1. Awful loading times - For races that last a few minutes each, it is insane that the load times approach a minute, and if you happen to mess up before the first checkpoint, you might as well restart the race so you don't run out of resets near the end, which means you'll have to suffer the load time all over again even though you only played a few seconds.

2. Poor handling - All the cars are unresponsive and fishtail at the slightest touch. It's a struggle just to keep them on the road, much less weave in and out of traffic.

3. Cheating AI - Rubberbanding opponents that blow by you at the last second even though you are going top speed with nitro, cops that target only you, cops that suddenly catch up to you at 300 mph to bump you off course just as you reach a roadblock, civilian cars that turn into you for no reason as you try to pass, oncoming traffic that warps in to block you when the game senses you trying to pass with nitro, etc. I haven't seen a dirtier AI since the old PC Speed Racer game, where they would literally drop cars out of the sky into your path to make you crash.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

I still haven't received a call saying that transferred media cabinet from a much further off store has come in or not as of yet. Something tells me the same thing that happened to another CAG(where they had one transferred and then it got sold to someone else just before they got there) is what's gonna happen in my case as well.

 

[Toss]

Wow I received a random $35 reward cert from bb. I remember someone else getting one a few days ago. Takes the guilt off buying all those $5 games just cause they were cheap.

It is worth $20. I picked up 2 at that price. I was looking for a storage solution for my games and Blu Rays and this worked perfectly. There are two screws (set like this : ) on the reverse side of the handles. Make sure the shelf nearest to the screws is set in between, above or below the screws. Otherwise, the screws will rub against the shelf and scratch the shelf's face. This was an issue with both units. So it is probably a design flaw. Other than that, it is difficult to access the media in the middle of the unit because the sliding doors overlap.

Thanks for the advice. I checked my closest store today to see if the truck came in yet and they said it shipped five days ago from the store it's coming from and to call tomorrow or possibly Thursday about it.

Hopefully they're right cuz I don't wanna make 5 trips back and forth for nothing.

It is the newer model of the 36.99 shelves they clearanced a couple of years ago. So now I will have 3 (hopefully) matching shelves! I still only paid 20.99 for it instead of 184.99!!!
