Amateurs and Pros are different. Don't be over-confident. Get in the ring and take care of business. I'm sure you are the better fighter, but 1 shot can change the game. Serious in the ring once outside the ring then the fun starts.

HTF's opponent

Glad to see you gonna give it a shot. Win or lose the coolers waiting in the corner.

Now thats a sparring session worth seeing

This topic has no place on OB. Being white and all I do understand that there is a double standard when it comes to racists comments. With that being said, OB is a FREE boxing game and Mikkel has made this for everyone tp enjoy. Mr. Cat is not racist, and Mikkel isn't either. Look at it this way Triangle Cat isnt being racists when he says "he eats white boys or whatever" He may be a cannibal and prefers white meat over dark meat. Personally when it comes to chicken, I like the dark meat you can have the breasts. There is a difference between making a point, being ignorant, or just trying to start an argument.

Time to lock it Mikkel

So this is OB now?

Second of all, Gamespot isn't always very accurate with reviews from what I've seen in general (I stopped even looking at them almost 2 years ago), and while IGN is usually pretty good with theirs, they've bombed a few in the past. Some of the best games I've played in my life have had horrible reviews, you can't always trust these sites.

You need to get it out of your head that guys that work at these places are super genius game connesuers (spelling). They're lucky guys who found a niche in life that allows them to squeeze out a living talking about video games which they get to demo for a whole 30 minutes, a week before a game's release. Most of these guys don't even know what a good game IS.

Half the time they rate games by how many modes the game has, hahahahah. If it's a PHENOMINAL game, but doesn't have eonugh "modes"' it gets a 6 instead of a 9.7, stuff like that.

Or they'll be like, "The game overall was unbelievably fun to play, however in the mission 'Randall Heads To Wisconsin', I noticed the 346th blade of grass on the right side behind the third building turns orange for 2 seconds as you're rounding the corner, which unfortunately forces me to bring down what would've been a 9.8 scoring game to a 4.6. In today's day and age, you just can't let those kinds of errors through.", LOL.

Site reviews are a joke. You need to hear it from a good group of gamers, not carebears who demo a game for 30 minutes, get frustrated if they get owned or didn't fully understand the controls yet, and then have a hissy fit and write a bad review because of it.

There's a great forum full of mature gamers that my brother always looks to check on how games REALLY are, but I forget the name right now, I'll ask him later and come back and post it. Most of the people there actually give real reviews on games, not reviews written by A.D.D. cases who think a game sucks if they can't absolutely dominate it within the first 3 minutes of picking up the controller when they don't know the full controls yet.

This is why it was rated a 5 on one of those sites - because the guys demo'd an exhibition match (which in those they fight like htey do at the very end stages of career mode - very hard and alot of pressure), when they didn't fully understand the controls yet or how to defend very well, they got the shit knocked out of them, and then gave it a bad review.

When you don't know what the hell is going on, and you get knocked to the canvas before you can even get a feel for what's going on, yeah, you're going to think the game is a cheap piece of shit. Keep in mind too that the tutorial is in career mode, and you need to spend some time with it before you even attempt to have an opinion on the game.

This is all evidenced even by the game's official forum. The first *8* pages are filled with, "OMFG THIS GAME ---SUCKS--- don't waste your money!! The movement is so sluggish and it's just a haymaker fest where you get knocked out in two rounds!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!"... And then around aboutt he 10th to 12th page you see guys coming back going, "Ok, after learning the controls a bit better, I lasted to the 8th round and barely lost after letting my guard down for a little too long and got caught with an overhand, and I won my following 2 fights! Oh yeah, and the movement isn't as sluggish as I thought, turns out you have to double-tap the direction you want to move if you want to move quicker or create some distance and move around a bit. Turns out I'm liking this game alot after-all!"

I read every single page (all 32 at the time) of the "Impressions" thread on the official forum before making the decision to buy, because of a few things I was scared about. I thought they'd overdo haymakers, make them take no stamina, that there'd be huge massive stumbles everytime you take a hit, that the movement would be trash, etc.. And after reading the first 8 pages I was starting to get sick, until about the 9th page when I realized that yeah, the first 8 pages are filled with people who wrote a review after literally fighting 1 round in exhibition, who never went through the tutorial or even looked at the controls in the book really. They got the shit beat out of them, then came back and complained about how "bad" the game was, when they literally didn't even know how to use their footwork yet, LOL!

As far as the game itself, it's more sim than any other mainstream boxing game out there. Your distance has a big effect, if you're throwing haymakers left and right you lose energy very quickly, and lower stamina means much slower punches as well as much weaker punches, the ring movement is LEAGUES better than FightNight ever was, etc. Infact I wrote a huge explanation of stuff to my brother on his computer and saved it to his desktop cause I was going to write a review on the site with alot of what I had there. If he didn't delete it, I'll copy and paste it here.

I love the classic 30's venue as well as the 70's and 90's one, was a great touch!

Again, I think the single-player gameplay is great, but they messed up online with the hyper-recovering health - there's no chance to turn the fight around with a big punch, and definately no chance for a flash K.O. as it is now. Again people are petitioning to have it changed so I'm sure they will, it ruins online. There's no reason to make a game more than 3 or 4 rounds at this point, as nothing will change in later rounds due to the massively beefed up (online only) health recovery.

ok

if you call that sparring then I laugh at you.

how can you call it ring rust when you have never stepped into a ring?

how can you call that "full contact" sparring when the last time I saw someone spar like that was in the 9 and under kickboxing class I used to teach. yea that was a crushing blow he hit you with the last thing is that you look like you dont even belong in a ring sparring.

your jumping around like your weiner is caught in your zipper, any idiot can do that. If I was you I wouldnt ever post this garbage.

you want criticism? well here it is. you have a very long way to go before I would even say your ready to go on a tear as an amature.. if you were half as tough as you talk every punch in that sparring would have been hard.

first tip of advice. You fight like you train So train like you want to fight.

If you are planning on fighting like that you fail

agreed

Mikkel wrote:Doesnt matter what I or anyone do people only wants to play 2D anyway

Not true Mikkel. But you are right when it comes to 2-D you developed that into a great game after bout 6 yrs. Everybody has been spoiled including myself. I have never been much of a gamer till i found those old blockheads yrs ago. Was on dial up and was happy as hell just to have a boxing game that if I stayed on all nite I may be able to get 5 fights. Personally I can't wait till you get it(3D) to where people can view fights. Think of what Noah was told "or who ever it was) Build it and they will come........... And I still say once you get 3-d to the point that 2D is in (the best) copyright it (2-d) which you may have done already and start with the demo in stores. (singleplayer) and make it so they have to P2P on the internet. Just change a few names on single player say everybody who is in the HOF would be the top 10 or so.10-20 people like Viper just so the folks that buy the single player version know that they may get the opp. to play against some of the greats online for real... and its been hot as hell just finished the ole captain and ........,..

Ok guess im finished.

Well it is no wonder because Reaper IS Charlie Zelenoff.

Well said. All OB players know where he ranks on OB, and all boxing fans would as well, but unlike Charlie, Reaper has yet to make that step into the ring, he still in the smack talking part of his career.
