NBA 2K18
GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY. Look it’s a great game if you buy VC points, but if you don’t it’s an horrible experience. Grinding and Grinding away for 200-400 games just to get your character to 80-85. If I were God, I would send these GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY makers of this game to hell. Seriously, they think this is good business? To offer you a game for $59.99 and then heavily provoke you to spend at least $10-20 more just to make the gameplay bearable? Why not just sell the game at one price of $70 then? Why make it unfair for people who’s got less money. The gameplay in My Career was so horrible that you miss shots even when the shot feedback says “Good”. I miss almost 50% of my shots that say “Good”. Even FT’s, I see “Good” release all the time, but nope ball hardly goes in. The game frustrates you to the point where you’re just barely missing open “Good” shots because the game is forcing you to miss. I get it the AI has stepped up and they play better defense, that’s great. This is the first 2K where this is so obvious. 17 was not like this, if you had your release down and on point, you will not be forced to miss just because your shot rating is 75. How many times do you guys see the ball go in and out of the hoop? Like what kind of physics is that? Greedy Money Hungry Going to Hell developer physics. Seriously, I think these guys are going to hell for this game. Anyone who had a part in forcing you to buy VC is going to hell. You can’t even spend $10, and be decent, you will still suck. You must spend at least $20 and spend it all on stats. Not to mention the clothes you buy is now seperated from NBA and Park Mode. So you have to buy things twice, and spend up your VC twice as fast. GREEDY, GREEDY, GREEDY. You can’t even keep your hairstyles, you have to keep buying them everytime. They lowered the price now because they probably saw people not buying alot of things, but still, you dont get to keep it. So they still win and force you to keep buying. 2K stop spending your money on pointless characters like Justice, and Shammy Chuck all day Wells. He’s a horrible basketball player and takes horrible shots which makes your team suck. They do so many things to hold you back so you think about buying VC. Every single part of this game from My Career to My Team is a GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY effort from 2K to force you to spend more money. What about the young children, that just want to play a good basketball game? What about that kid that lives in the middle of nowhere with no internet? What about the kid that asked his parents to buy this game for months just to find out that he will have to use a horrible character or ask his parents for more money? It seriously ruins your experience finding out how GREEDY they are. Seriously, if 2K developers are taking all this money from us, what are they doing with it? Make a small town? GTA V has a much bigger open world then NBA’s small town and its only $59.99 from day one. Never had to pay any additional cost for points just to make the game playable. Ofcourse you have to grind to get more stuff in their game as well, but you don’t get the feeling that they’re making it hard for you. You know that they’ll provide ways for you to earn more money via the game fairly. But Nope, not 2k. Small open world (not even sure if I should call it open world) town. Horrible supporting characters/actors. Who the hell is in charge of where you guys are allocating your money? All the money we give you just for this? A small neighborhood with restrictions in every store. Oh your charcater is 65? well then you can’t buy almost anything. Oh you get a Jordan Sponsor but can’t even attain 90% of the shoes available just because your character sucks. Wow and you guys call this a Simulation? Cause in REAL LIFE, BASKETBALL PLAYERS CAN BUY ANY PAIR OF SNEAKERS, ANY HAIRCUT, AND PIECE OF CLOTHING WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IF WHETHER THEY SUCK OR NOT. YOU CALL THIS A BASKETBALL SIMULATION? WHO THE HELL IS SHAMMY WELLS, HE’S NOT REAL? WHY WOULD YOU PAY MONEY FOR AN HORRIBLE SUPPORTING ACTOR WHEN YOU CAN SPEND IT ON IMPROVING ELEMENTS OF THE GAME. ALL SHAMMY WELLS DOES IS CHUCK UP SHOTS AND TALK NONSENSE. All these added characters but the same problematic gameplay. Fouls where your player doesnt even touch the guy. All that money you guys cant even get the physics of player contact right. Practice drills where the rebounder can’t get the ball , glitches out and you have to cancel the drill and miss out on the points. Why not fix these issues? Why not fix the dull ass crowd? Why can’t I skip scenes? Why force someone to watch your dull storyline? No twists, no turns. Boring as ever. Look it’s cool you added a small little town, which could be much bigger with more mini games that real nba players actually do. Like the fishing with PG13, Why not add a small lake and let us play mini games so we get more for our money? AGAIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE MONEY YOU ARE MAKING OFF OF US? WHAT ARE WE GETTING BACK FOR OUR $59.99? GAMES LIKE GTA HAS GIVEN US MORE AND MORE UPDATES EVERY FEW MONTHS, WHAT ABOUT YOU 2K? JUST TAKE OUR MONEY AND HOPE WE BUY THE NEXT GAME? WHERE ARE THE UPDATES, WHERE ARE THE EXPANSIONS? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING OVER THERE? I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT YOUR GREEDY WAYS. BUT YOU GET MY POINT. FROM A NBA 2K DREAMCAST PLAYER TIL NOW, YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE A TON OF CUSTOMERS BECAUSE OF YOUR GREED. TREATING PEOPLE LIKE THEY’RE STUPID, ITS AN INSULT. YOU GUYS ARE INSULTING OUR INTELLIGENECE BY SELLING US A GAME FOR $59.99 THINKING ITS COMPLETE JUST TO FIND OUT YOU HAVE TO PAY EVEN MORE JUST FOR THE GAME TO BE DECENT. SERIOUSLY? YOU JUST TREAT US LIKE WE’RE ALL MORONS WHO WILL PAY NO MATTER WHAT? THAT’S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU GUYS MAKE US SPEND TONS OF VC JUST FOR A SNEAKER OR HAIRCUT. IF I MAKE 750 VC A GAME RIGHT, WHY ARE SNEAKERS 2000? IS THAT REALISTIC? NBA SUPERSTARS MAKE 300K A GAME, SNEAKERS IN REAL LIFE ARE $200-$500. DO THE MATH, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU GUYS? WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO BLATANTLY GREEDY? IF YOU’RE GONNA OFFER ME HALF A GAME FOR $59.99 WHY NOT TELL ME UPFRONT? OR WHY NOT JUST CHARGE $70 TO EVERYONE? WHY MAKE RICH KIDS WHO COULD CARELESS ABOUT $20-$50 HAVE AN ADVANTAGE? LIFE’S IS OFCOURSE NOT FAIR, BUT YOU WOULD THINK YOU COULD TRY RIGHT? TRY TO GIVE EVERYONE A FAIR ADVANTAGE. WHEN MY SHOT FEEDBACK SAYS GOOD I WANT MY SHOT TO GO IN 85% OF THE TIME, NOT MISS 50% OF THE TIME. IT’S STUPID, WHY SAY THE RELEASE IS GOOD THEN? IS YOUR GAME BROKEN? DID YOU SELL US A BROKEN GAME? YOU SEE WHAT YOUR GREEDINESS LEADS TO? DO YOU SEE? MAKE IT FAIR FOR EVERYONE, NO MATTER WHAT FINANCIAL SITUATION, NO MATTER WHAT AGE. YOU THINK THAT LITTLE BOY FROM A SMALL TOWN IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY IS NOT DISSAPOINTED AFTER PAYING $59.99 AND REALIZING HIS CHARACTER IS NOT ONLY TRASH, HE HAS TO GRIND OVER 200 GAMES JUST TO GET A DECENT CHARACTER, AND THE GAME WORKS AGAINST HIS SHOTS SO IT SEEMS LIKE HE SUCKS TO PROVOKE HIM TO BUY VC? YOU DEVELOPERS AREN’T JUST DEVELOPERS, YOU’RE THIEFS, CROOKS AND HORRIBLE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO GO TO HELL IF YOU CONTINUE THIS ROUTE. ITS THE THINGS THAT AREN’T SAID THAT MAKE YOU LIARS. SHOWING A GREAT OPEN TOWN FULL OF FEATURES, BUT WHEN YOU BUY THE GAME, OH..CANT USE THOSE FEATURES YET FOR ANOTHER 300 GAMES UNLESS YOU PAY $20. WHY NOT TELL US THAT UPFRONT? SERIOUSLY, NBA LIVE HAS BEEN CATCHING UP, YOU GREEDY GUTLESS HORRIBLE EXCUSES FOR A HUMAN BEING WILL NOT BE AROUND FOR LONG IF YOU KEEP THIS UP. BE TRANSPARENT, OFFER WHAT YOU SHOW FOR THE PRICE YOU’RE SHOWING. MAKE THE GAME FAIR FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL STATUS. DO GOOD BUSINESS. YOU GUYS THINK THAT YOU’LL CONTINUE TO GET CUSTOMERS IF YOU CONTINUE TO PUT OUT YOUR GAMES LIKE THIS? YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO FOOL PEOPLE A FEW TIMES, BUT THEY WILL EVENTUALLY NOT COME BACK AND YOUR BRAND WILL GO CRASHING. DO THE RIGHT THING. RIGHT NOW THIS GAME IS A RIP OFF. YOU HAVE LOST MY TRUST. YOU CATCH MORE BEES WITH HONEY FOOLS.

Even though the gameplay itself is great, this game took a huge downfall from last year(s). The neighborhood is a great idea but it’s missing a lot of things. A day-night cycle would’ve made it look so much more alive, it’s like just 3 streets and a park.. it gets boring very very quickly.
It’s obvious that the game was set up in a way so that players are “forced” to buy more in game currency, unless they want to spend many many MANY hours of gameplay. Player upgrades, clothes, accessories, animations, tattoos.. EVERYTHING costs a stupid amount of money, they removed the ability to review a new hairstyle on your character, so the only way to actually look at the hairstyle on your character, you have to buy it.. And if you don’t like it, you can just buy another one.

The Coin Game
My son loves this game, and to be honest so do I. You come to this game expecting something very specific and end up finding out there is a lot more to it than you thought. I would have been happy with just a video game version of a cheesy arcade, but this game is a whole world set in a fictional village called Islandville. The arcades and the machines are awesome enough, but a big part of this game involves travelling from arcade to arcade, to the carnival, pawn shop, grocery store, gas station or home. You can travel by limo, bus, golf cart, hoverboard or bicycle. It has a Grand Theft Auto exploration vibe, set in a world full of ticket redemption arcades. Your only weapon is a rubber band gun and you don’t steal cars. It is full of all kinds of wacky characters (who all happen to be robots). You also have a home to go back to where grandma robot lives and your pet goose keeps you company. The game has bugs to be sure, but they can be entertaining and the game is still in early access so it is understandable. The machine physics are really amazing and do an incredible job of recreating the experience of playing these games. The most incredible thing is that this is being developed by one guy!!!! This is a real labour of love for this guy, and it shows in how much fun this is to play. He is probably losing a lot of sleep bringing us more locations and features, so we really need to support him. For this effort alone I hope he makes $10,000,000. In case there was any doubt, I recommend EVERYONE buy this game. It cost less than the price of playing at a real arcade for 10 minutes, and you can play it as long as you want without emptying out your bank account. You will not be disappointed even if you are not into arcade games. Just exploring the world is fun.

The absolute pinnacle of indie game development! This one-man project is constantly being updated with new locations and games! For a fun, relaxing arcade simulation, its a superb choice and for the price, definitely a must-try for some family-friendly fun! Especially for those unable to get to a real arcade, this is the next best thing!
The Coin Game currently offers 3 unique arcades:
Larry’s: A more classical Chuck E Cheese style arcade.
UFO Arcade: A modern arcade featuring a go-kart track and laser tag.

Tharsis
Elder Sign and Alien Frontiers' ugly baby
Tharsis is basically a cheap, space-themed copy of Elder Sign . I’m not giving this thumbs-down because it’s difficult and sometimes you’ll lose just because of bad luck. I liked Elder Sign enough to buy each one of its overpriced expansions (on the iPad version), because although Elder Sign does a piss poor job of explaining how the game works, it’s actually FUN and gives you enough control over the chaos to be satisfying. In contrast, Tharsis feels more like the Iraqi version of Wheel of Fortune: https://youtu.be/Cz8cSpRmowM?t=1m1s

I love board games, I don’t hate dice, I usually like a good strategy challenge, and I think space & Mars are cool - So I can recommend this to people like me when it is on sale for at least half off. YOU SHOULD KNOW: I’d ignore reviews before August 2016 because a patch was added with a better tutorial, bug fixes, and some missions - All of which were significant additions to the game (at least for me). If you expect something more than a turn based board game, you’re gonna have a bad time. Also, I strongly encourage doing the Training missions before or after beating Easy as well as picking crew abilites that best main reasons for losing a game - Without these I could’ve rage quit before beating Normal mode. Now for a full breakdown that I haven’t seen anyone else give like this, followed by exactly what turns consist of:

Metro Sim Hustle
1st impression:
I think the environment is very well done. This is much better than the family-friendly oriented Sims 4 because of its realism and immersive elements. I have read many reviews and seen videos before I buy this game. It is actually not easy to make a decision as there is also another equally competitive game which is “The Coin Game” with arcade elements. They have much more arcade, and have overwhelmingly positive reviews. But I have decided to go for this one instead because of the human sims and city living, and there is this hidden objective to live in a better house and climbing up the social ladder. I am wondering whether there can be casinos here too, so that this game is more adult oriented. Well, if “The Coin Game” is for young ones, then Metro Sim should be the adult version.

It’s a solid sim experience, to me. I haven’t played very many sims, but decided to give this one a try and I can honestly say that I’m not disappointed.
Is it repetitive? Sure it is, but such is the nature of a sim after all and exactly what I’m looking for.
There are plenty of things to do in the game:
Fight for money - deliver pizza - drive the metro for exp and money - make and sell drugs - use drugs - play fun arcade games (emphasis on the word, fun) - own a business - gamble (black jack / 21) - play slots - own a house or two (very expensive and will take a very long time to get) - rent a place (paid per week) - furnace your house or apartment - buy clothes - date via app - romance your date / intimate relations (requires DLC to unlock) - sleep - eat a variety of foods - buy surgical procedures - drink a variety of drinks, including alcohol - smoke - use the bathroom - shower - complete objectives for money - sit in a chair once purchased for your apartment or house - and probably a few more activities that I haven’t unlocked yet.

Crazy Mafioso
A game in which you need to aim at the enemy and the main character will shoot at the right moment. There is a variety of weapons. After the killed enemies, there is money that needs to be collected and with each new level buy weapons again and again. You can also pump it. The game has 40 levels and each of them can be completed with a rating from 1 to 3 stars. The level will be considered failed if the enemies break your fence. In general, a cool game that will help you have fun in your spare time.

What could be more interesting than a shooter? That’s right, nothing, especially if the game is about the mafia.
This game reminded me of something plants vs zombie, and immediately nostalgia ….. I was also pleased that there are many different levels.

Runs smoothly and stable. No crashes, bugs, or other major errors.
-
Is exactly what it’s advertised as, no more, no less.
Negative Aspects
-
The music will fade whenever there is a sound cue playing. Very annoying and had me mute the entire game.
-
The stories are a bit dull.
-
The difficulty. You can finish each of the 3 stories in about 10 minutes. You just have to click a few times and make some choices and you’re done.

I kind wish there was more chapters and dlc help support game?? hint to developers.
I played it as far I could stay sitting comfortably by computer.
Like: Doctor story was interesting. I have yet play third time around teacher or rich kid roles yet.
Dislike: one chance encounters end up giving negative influences in your life is dice roll effect, there no character customization/ if characters were different sex?
Doctor character story last time I played it was unfinished. Teacher not sure how finished that was.
