Riders Republic is fun. Kinda rough around the edges, but I've had an absolute blast with this and I definitely I recommend it.

Are you even going to review Deathloop?
Just Cause: Sport
@@dec3142 ICR if he said he's skipping it or not, but I been waiting for that too- and I watch all his vids so I'd have remembered if he said like "don't worry DEATHLOOP soon!" 🤷🏻♂️
@@narcspector He did say he was going to review it when he did one of these vids during the launch week.
A De Esser plug in would do your already excellent production skills wonders. Even light EQing may do the trick.
This man has helped me to pick new games in the last 3 months and every game is exactly how he told them . Thank you for making these vids!
I’d like too say Skill ups reviews are extremely unbiased and extremely informative. I love everything he puts out
@Bzake I really liked Cyberpunk 2077, and I played it on a PS4.
@Bzake really? He was making fun of the game because of the bugs and complained about CD Projekt RED not letting him push out his review early to tell people how buggy the game was, which meant that they bought the game without that knowledge. From what I recall, his review wasn't "good".
I think the only review he has made that I strongly disagree with is his lost judgment review. Most of the time his reviews are very accurate
@@gaming.chungus For me it's his TLOU2 review since I really liked the game, but other than that I mostly agree with his reviews aswell. By the way I've only played Yakuza 0 and I loved it, should I try out Judgment or Lost Judgment? Are they significantly different than mainline Yakuza?
“You could have cut 50% of what I just described and I think the game would’ve been better for it”
Pretty much describes every Ubisoft game these days
But I'd still rather have way too much than way too little. Say what you want about ubisoft but they always give you your money's worth. And as far as I know always release complete games on day 1. And their lineup of quality games is really hard to compete with. Far Cry, Rainbow Six, Assassins creed, watch dogs, the division, for honor, the crew, immortals, anno 1800. The only bad games they've made recently are the ghost recon games. I guess that's the franchise.they decided to dump all their shit ideas into.
Yeah that's a lot of Triple A games sadly.
They are masters of beautiful open world creation and their graphic engines are second to none.
Unfortunately these mobile style systems are a huge turn off to me..i just want to chill out I don't want a supermarket on my tv.
I know you can avoid it if you want..sort of..
Skill Up was given a review code for free. That massages away most of his misgivings about the store aspect. I'm not paying £60 for a bare bones (£100 for Ultimate Edition) game when I got 99% of what I wanted out of it from the _free_ beta test I played haha
@@SussedRage I've not really seen any of that in their games. I own most of the titles i listed and couldnt tell you which ones have it and to what extend. I cant remember it being promotes or having menu screens prompt me to buy currency. And as someone who plays lots of sports games i would notice because they plaster it everywhere. I'm playing Odyssey and Far Cry 5 right now and I've not even noticed an option for that, so it cant be very bad.
@@dash4800 hey yeah I completely agree. They do pick and choose which games to monetise the F out of lol. With this genre I mean Steep, and I know they've been a bit controversial in recent times with Valhalla but luckily they're managing to show some restraint.
It's the sort of thing that if the game was £30 and not £70 I'd accept spending more ingame.
I'm wondering what EA is going to do with Skate 4 as well!
If you loved steep like I did then this game is a no brainer. A few bugs right now on ps5 with grinding on rails but that’s about it. This game blew me away for real
What about the controls though? Doesn’t that frustrate?
too bad you can’t season your snowboard with rosemary salt!
@@AlexWoodGarbage Once I got used to it I found it easier and better than steep. Also I'm using steep stick controls which is nice
I'm using steep controls and it i controls fine for me..
I actually think the grind mechanic is way improved from steep though. It flat out didn't work in steep. This game controls like arse until you unlock some decent rides though.
Going downhill in this game in first person on a 32:9 monitore is just fucking amazing
Yeah with Initial D racing game music playing in the background is amazing to
It's even more amazing on a 42:9 monitor.
It's even more amazing on a 92:8 monitor.
It's even more amazing on a 142:7 monitor
It's even more amazing on my brain-shunt immersion VR
I thought nobody was going to talk about this game.
I absolutely loved Steep and I am loving this one (possibly) more!
Did they cut down on the constant cringy unskippable dialog/cutscenes? That's what bothered me most during the preview.
@@DanKaschel once you get past the intro theres like barely any cutscenes
I just couldn't get into Steep...
But this game is fucking awesome!!!
@@aaronfarricker1475 because Steep dont have BMX, this game is better because its unlock my nostalgia of Downhill Domination game, hope Riders Republic success so Sony could remake Downhill Domination lol
it's just steep again with bikes i don't see why i would fork 80$ i have steep right now installed lol
Youre a great example of how a person can enjoy something without needing to be perfect. And that's a vitally important example to be setting to adults at this time. THANK YOU. PLEASE DON'T STOP THIS!!!
A lot of people are sick of good enough. And would like to encourage something better.
If not for us, at least for those that come next.
One of the most purely fun and addicting games I’ve played in a long time. I grew up on ssx and atv off road fury and this takes me back to the days big time. Best Ubisoft game since rayman legends. 8.5/10 after 30 hours. Would be a 9 if they fixed up some bugs. Play it!
Honestly, at this point, my only real gripe with these games is how Ubisoft thinks DHers, snowboarders and car enthusiasts talk... Like, I've been doing DH/FR/XC and snowboarding for over two decades and I've never heard anyone speak like they think we do. 😂
i mean the game is supposed to be based in an extreme sports paradise were they only talk to other extreme sports dudes that constantly risk dying for fun, so in this kind of enviroment they would probably talk like this since theyre also part of a show
Dunking on Anthem in the first 30 seconds. I love this channel.
No matter what anyone says, $15 is not a MICRO transaction, that's a whole ass indie game on Steam for a digital outfit. Shameful.
Sure, but at the end of the day it's just another outfit so I don't mind too much. There are plenty of them in the shop that you can buy at a reasonable price for the in game currency that you accumulate just by playing, and a daily rotation so you can wait for the perfect item for you. The 15$ ones are generally just the goofy stuff like a giraffe costume or some futuristic outfit that looks really out of place imo.
Yep
Shitty game
Just watching the game-play on screen has me super-psyched, I went an bought the game before the review even ended. I think despite the negative aspects mentioned, I am gonna be one of those people that have a blast anyway. Micro economy is BS but this is not a game where I think that will be important to me like it is in games such as AC. Thank you for the Review @SkillUp!
This is the type of game that should be supported post launch for 10 years actually.
They supported STEEP and Crew 2 forever! It's almost criminal how under the radar those games are because as of right now they both have SO MUCH CONTENT, yet Ubi is all about pushing AssCreed, FarCry and their Clancy games...
But yeah, whether you get this one now or later at a discount, you will not be at a loss of things to do.
@@FINETUNEDGAMING Steep and the Crew have pretty mediocre gameplay where as Riders Republic actually feels good to play. I dropped Dteep after a day and have been playing The Crew 2 for a good minute now, neither felt half as good a Rider Republic imo
actually
@@FINETUNEDGAMING Ubisoft also stuck with For Honor and did a ton of development for that game. Ubisoft will either copy-paste sequels for their big IPs or put out a new IP or two and then support the most recent title in it for years.
@@DV-ou1yu so riders republic is more fun than the crew 2?
"Web Shleping"
New favorite thing ever
man its been so long since i found a review channel that looks for a lot of the same fun and qualities in a game as i do, so happy to have found this channel, its reviews, and amazing weekly recaps, love this shit dude.
This game has literally made me fall in love with games again. It's incredibly fun.
Is the responsiveness of the controls really that bad?
It's not game of the year, it's not a game that's going to make me cry with a beautiful story but god damn it's simply FUN to play.
And frankly that's sometimes all i want from a game.
I do love these kinds of games, I just picked up THPS 1+2 for the first time in over a decade, and I’ve been playing Trials a lot. I want more 😂
The team that made Steep also made this game, so I can definitely see the similarities. Had my eye on this one the past year after the Tony Hawk 1 and 2 remake made me realize I needed more extreme sports games in my life again. Glad to hear this one has turned out well.
It’s pretty good, seems like they’ll update along the way. Amazing how many other players are in the game. Seems like hundreds
I was surprised how much I liked the trial. Makes me feel like a kid reminding me of all of the old extreme sports titles. Also a beautiful game
Appreciate your stuff! Interesting title I would not have ever considered without you talking about it now 3 times by my count.
That's a great, balanced look at the game - my first time watching your content - blown away by how reasonably you present the pros and cons. Thank you!
FRIGGIN GREAT REVIEW! Thanks for putting it into perspective and I’m looking forward to trying it out!
This is great news. I really hoped this would be fun. I used to live for SSX3 and On Tour and have so dearly missed extreme sports games. Like you Steep just didn't do it for me sadly so this has made my day to hear.
Skill up makes the intro in a way that you don't really have to continue watching and you already get the gist of it
I've been loving this game so far. DH biking and skiing are my 2 favorite sports so a game with both yes sir. I hope they add a Pacific Northwest map expansion at some point. Mount Hood, Vancouver north shore and whistler are like the Meccas of those sports. If you've been there you know how easy it is to translate those irl courses into the game
You speak the truth
Source: been living in and around the North Cascades for almost 20 years now
I mean anyone who laser scans any course can translate it pretty easily if they know what they’re doing
(talking about the mass races) "when have we been able to do something like this before?"
rounds (an event type) in Trackmania. plus the studio that makes TM is owned by Ubisoft too, so it's pretty clear where they got the idea from.
“And this is how it starts...”
I could not stop laughing. That looks so fun
So it begins
I picked up the game today on the xmas sale thanks to your review! I really appreciate it. I played the trial but wanted a better idea of someone that had spent several hours in the game. I already knew about most of those issues but I agree, the FUN the game has to offer is worth it. Thanks again and happy holidays!
Thank you for all your awesome reviews, you always steer me in the right direction!
This game is insanely fun.
I am forever waiting for a motorcycle (hard) enduro racing game taking place in interesting environments, something hybrid of arcade and simulation.
The crew 2)
This is the kind of game my 8 year old nephew would get, he’d literally never do any of the actual missions, and he would ONLY use the jetpack thing.
I’m having so much fun with this game the controls took me a few hours to get used to but still so fun !
You NAILED all the problems perfectly. If they remove player collision and tighten up the controls, this game would be amazing. Still super fun and I'll definitely put some hours into it!
Removing player collision would lower the skullcap, as long as they are real people in real time.
@@Sir.Craze- I think we're on the same page, collision off when you play solo against ghosts. I'm fine with it on in mass races and free for all/trick battle.
@@vladdimitrov819 indeed we are.
Also. I'm leaving skullcap.
I stand by that statement.
Legit, the best review channel on YT 🙏 again, great job. 🙌
Other than the Xbox crashing issues every few hours I am absolutely loving this game. Can't get enough!
Same man 👍👍😞
@@SuperShowDowns Hope they fix it soon. I've gotten to a point of being preemptive about it. I'll close the game every couple of hours and reload it or if I notice the game starting to freeze and look like its about to crash I'll jump to the Xbox home screen and close the game. Otherwise it freezes the entire console and I have to do a hard reboot. Hope they get this fixed quickly
@@rbgilbert11 Same it's bricked my series x twice now !!
As soon as I see a shop in game my interest level immediately gets cut in half.
and i regret not clicking the full DLC enabled torrent version instead....
It’s not even that bad, ofcourse there is stuff you have to pay real money for but there’s also stuff you can buy with in game currency so it’s not that bad
The difficulty matching with ghosts is an absolute work of fucking genius. It’s not often I say this but Ubisoft NAILED this!
I was waiting for your review man! Im going back and forth whether I should buy this :D I dont knooooooow
I tried the demo. Not my thing, but I was absolutely impressed how good it is.
Yeah I appreciate it but I can see myself getting bored of it like Far Cry 6. I always view Ubisoft as accessible to everyone, master of no one. It shows in their games.
@@ewjiml I'm one of those people that enjoy a Ubisoft title every now and then. They definitely lean toward a more mass produced version of games that can appeal to a wide audience, but to me, that's not always a bad thing. They are really good at designing open worlds. Making them interesting and beautiful. I enjoy that about their games and I feel it's something they're really good at.
@@SomeUnkindledAsh This. Distractors usually label Ubisoft games as mass audience products while forgetting to mention not everyone wants to play deep/hard games. It think Ubisoft reaches a solid middle ground. I only like Watchdogs and AC though and play the Crew 2 which I "stand". Division was fine, didn't care D2 though. Can't speak on Seige, Ghost Recon, or Far Cry though since I don't play them enough.
@@DV-ou1yu I like the deep/hard games too. I'm a big soulsbourne guy, but sometimes I just wanna mess around in a beautiful location and kill stuff. Or in the case of AC, visit a historical location. Odyssey is one of my favorite games ever. I really enjoyed both Division 1 and D2. Ghost Recon Breakpoint is pretty fun too. I've got many hours in WD: Legion and I really like it too. Overall, I'd say I like Ubisoft games. Roaming around a gorgeous world is what's so appealing to me, not to mention there's always tons of content.
@@SomeUnkindledAsh yeah they build beautiful worlds that are completely shallow. I remember playing Assasins Creed Black Flag and was obsessed with it. I just played Far Cry 6 and you can’t deny the parallels in the gameplay from a game that came out almost a decade ago.
I absolutely love this game and i agree with almost everything you said except for the controls even though I think I know what you mean. It just feels like the controls are intended that way and that there's a learning curve for it. Nevertheless awesome review! Keep up the good work.
There is much I disagree with in your review. However the biggest problem is your claim that the controls are bad when it's simply not the case. This is completely subjective and doesn't take into account player skill and player willingness to learn a foreign control scheme. The trickster mode for example takes a little learning but quickly becomes very fluid and easy to use and there is even an option for "Steep controls" which lets people use the same controls as Steep, a game that saw much praise for its controls.
As for the "input delay" that seems to be intentional to keep a bit or realism to the controls and not go full on SSX Tricky crazy arcade style. You cant turn on a dime in any of these sports IRL and you need to constantly be looking ahead at the track to plan your next move. I think it was a smart move and grounds the sports in a bit more realism while keeping the over the top action in place.
I'm absolutely in love with this game as it offers so much fun across the board. I just hope they keep adding more content in the future and make more stuff in the store purchasable with the in game currency.
This game is awesome and fun. I agree with all the issues you’ve mentioned
Holy crap the player ghosts thing is so smart and I can't believe I've never thought of that before. What a slick way to get past matchmaking times for a racing game.
As an avid mountain biker, there is no BMX in this game. The treetop trail is considered a skills coarse with skinnys everywhere.
BMX will come with a DLC
I don't even play sports games, but this review held my attention the entire time
Okay, literally this intro alone makes me want to buy this game😂
*Sidenote*
Would love a MhRise review video
Love love a mh rise video as well
Funny, the intro alone confirmed for me that this really isn’t the game for me. It seems so contrived and not in any way based in reality.
2 years later and i just bought this game 50% off on steam.
I absolutely love this game. BMX, mountain biking, and snowboarding are huge for me, and its all in one giant playground I can play crossplay with my console friends.
It's so funny, I was just thinking the other day how much I enjoyed the Clutch Nixon events from Farcry 5 and wish they would make a game just about that, and that seems to be exactly what this is! I'm going to check this out for sure, exactly what I've been craving! Would be even cooler with a VR mod or something.
Currently playing this way more than back 4 blood, surprising how an Ubisoft game is literally 100% more rewarding for solo players and feels way more fun spending my time in it. Love this review and agree on all parts, damn are some of these runs insanely creative and awesome!
I did alpha testing for this back in like March and the one thing they really wanted feedback on was to make sure the shop worked correctly. Due to covid I didn't have anything else to do so I pretty much binged and completed the game, still didn't unlock any new cosmetic gear outside the pink smoke and gold cover helmet for essentially beating the game. The only way to get *some* cosmetic was by going through a series of daily challenges that went up to 15. Meaning getting new gear could take over 2 weeks for a simple helmet. Sucks that it's still the case.
Seems like more of the items are purchasable with in game credits though.
its crazy when they first showed this game few years back i was no yeah going to be garbage but man am i blown away how amazing this game is. Could we talk about game of the year maybe?? at least top 3 for sure
They first showed this game last year not a few years back
@@mrpopo5097 must be something related to that "goty maybe" thing...
Gotta love that gamertag. I see what you did, Ralph.
I played the hell outta Steep and when they announced this I was so stoked. I already bought the fam a new PS5 that will be unwrapped Christmas morning so I will absolutely be playing this on next gen this December.
Your reviews are honestly as good as they come. 👏
10:04 - I just laughed so hard
The biking in this game reminds me so much of one of my favorite game Downhill a PS2 games
Really makes me nostalgic
downhill domination
Just got a ps5 from playstation direct and it comes in monday! Def gunna be picking this up 😁
Steep also had the rocket suit... :(
Steep was wholly underestimated by many, sadly.
I think if it was more popular, this game would have probably been a DLC or maybe even called Steep 2.
Bc it had the worst system ever, after every jump you've been losing stamina, and if you reach zero you just drop no matter the jump it was ridiculously stupid for an arcade game
I really recommend the control scheme that uses the right stick for launch and spin direction. The camera can get wonky in that mode, since you can't move it, but that has only messed me up like 5% of the time,
Such a great review with great information for both sides of the argument!
I'm excited to try this game in a couple months I've learned with ubisoft games to wait awhile after release for bugs and polish they always feel early access at launch
Reminds me of Downhill Domination. i remember finding that one one day at Blockbuster back in the day.
I'm hopeful they change player collision. The survey after the beta had questions directly asking about what you liked/what you'd change about player collision in mass races, including removing player collision.
I'm not planning on buying Riders Republic immediately, and the trial week is over, but I'm really curious about the deadzone and input delay you described because that is something I was not conscious of and now I'm wondering about it.
I do kinda wish that there was my commentary about how they did flips/spins/rotations because I think they came up with a really clever implementation that uses less inputs (up, down, left, right) instead of most games (up, down, left, right + diagonals) but achieves 12 different rotations compared to the usual 8.
I'll pick it up at a discount due to those expensive skins. Thanks for the insight I feel more Brilliant already. 😀
Man those mountain biking animations look beautiful
A Ubi game that is actually good? WOW
LOL
About 1 out if 15 every year 😬
Last good ubi game released that I enjoy and still play is R6S.
@@dontmatter4423 Same, even with their weird/controversial decision, the game at its core is very fun so i still play it.
kind of a small feature but not one I see many people talking about, is the fact that at any point, you can switch to walking and back to you equipped gear. This can be a huge time saver. Also the handling improves with better bikes. It actually feels pretty close to IRL, not exact but close. Your not going to be turning sharply while also peddling at top speed. Just by not peddling, you gain a lot of steering input and if you break while turning, you will drift. Also the new unlocks are EVERYTHING! How can you not get exited over new equipment lol yah the stats go up incrementally but after a while that turns into a bike that can do things you thought you couldn't!
I’ve been playing none stop and love doing all the wing suit stuff
Did I blank out or did you not mention the zone control mode at all? In the beta I found that really fun. Curious what your thoughts are on it.
Awesome review mate. You can literally just ignore the clothing store, it doesn't really make any difference to the core gameplay. I just ride around topless with some Levi's I picked up from a sponsor and don't visit the shop too often. Too easy 👍
It's still annoying to pay $170 for a game and not get all the content. I know for a fact the store clothing items they want you to pay extra real money for have been there for at least a year.
@@JZStudiosonline Good point, I suppose what I am trying to say is that if you don't spend money on cosmetics then developers won't have that business model in games, but unfortunately whales be whalein', and things won't change.
@@ericlechat719 Yeah, but in this game in particular after a certain point you just kind of stop getting new gear and there's no reason to use anything other than your best. So instead of being able to do something to earn clothing items a la Tony Hawk, the game just kind of hits a brick wall. They went through the effort to give you a character creator, then do everything in their power to make you pay money for it.
Completely agree on the controls. I had to adjust the sensitivity and on the bikes it helps if you swap the controls so that grabs aren't the same button as braking and accelerating. Not sure who thought that was a good idea.
I quite enjoyed the beta and the trial, mostly because my 3 year old loved watching and "playing" this. Her first game she played on her own and with the "trickster" control method she only had to master turning and not the camera which was awesome.
I bought immortals fenyx rising based on your review and recommendation, I will likely pick this up too on a sale
Is that immortals actually good ? It's on sale on PSN and I'm on the fence about getting it, it just looks like an AC game with a weird paint coat.
@@bricktop. it doesn't play like AC at all. It's a pretty fun game
I only played the beta a couple months ago, and I agree, the controls are definitely weird. But I noticed that the better bikes you acquired, the easier they became to handle. Maybe I just got used to it, but by the end of the beta I felt like the controls didn't bother me anymore and I didn't have anymore issues. I'm definitely planning on picking up the full game eventually, just can't afford it at the moment.
As a fan of steep I absolutely love this game just for how open and fun it is. I play on an Xbox One X and only disconnected twice so far. I was a little hesitant after playing the first part of the game based off the controls (especially the dead zone on controller) I turned the dead zone all the way down and it feels a lot better. Also I recommend the racer controls with the steep assisted landing. I’ve been grinding the game since it’s release and even after I get done playing I still want to play more. It’s a 8-10 for me!
I played the preview on Stadia, so I chocked up the control issues to that. It’s a bummer to hear it persists on other platforms, especially after Steep felt so perfectly responsive
I was hoping this would give me my long lost SSX 3 vibes back - a game where I could chill for hours or get absolutely amped up doing a top to bottom mountain run. Sadly I didn't even use all my test week time for this one; it's fine, but it just didn't make me 'feel' anything. Will still probably pick it up in sale somewhere down the line.
Am I the only person who just thinks this looks like Forza Horizon except with extreme sports instead of cars? And I don't mean that as a knock either, I really enjoy Forza Horizon, but this game looks to be structured almost identically.
what do you think the chances are for them to add new sports like skate-/longboarding, paragliding, maybe like rafting and stuff
oh dude i would love a downhill longboarding feature
Using trick mode definitely makes the snow sports and bike trick events a hell of a lot better
Loved this review! Yes it has problems but when it comes down to it it's an absolute blast! Highly recommend you try the trickster control scheme as it is 10x better than the button based trick system. Please give the trickster control scheme a chance and let us know what you think cause once you get use to it you will have a wayyyy better time with the controls.
i'll be honest i usually don't like your reviews but this one was very enjoyable. thank you
extreme sports farcry. The fact that they can make a map suited for this in size is no surprise, they are kinda masters of making massive open worlds with interesting stuff in it. Even their most bland worlds have a lot of interesting spots in the world to explore and experience.
This is the closest we´ll ever get to Downhill: Dominations chaotic gameplay. Just with more gameplay variations and freedom. Instant buy for me!
Great video :) I played the game a lot already and I agree with everything you said.
The way the multiplayer ghosts work reminds me of Rayman Legends in an awful way. As the game progressed, time milestones started getting absurdly skewed by speedrunners using glitches to crush the leaderboards top echelons that would actually actively hurt a player’s progression if they didn’t use those same glitches. Hopefully they have some sorta recourse to this issue
Never was a big fan of first person racing gameplay, but sweet jesus, I'm in LOVE with first person downhill gameplay in this game. ITS. SO. MUCH. FUN.
This game is above all else...fucking fun. It's the most genuine fun I've had in ages.
Some other games I've played have been deeper, more emotional connection, etc....but few others have been this fucking FUN.
The controls being squishy is definitely a thing, but when you decrease the default dead zone (it's set to .30 by default- waaay too high) it's not bad at all. I had to actually move it a lot based on what stunt I was attempting at the time.
The controls that are given are really weird for me, so I changed all controls to Streep settings and it plays wayyyyyyy better and feels way better for me at least, I could be biased since I did get the platinum trophy on steep so I’m probably just very very used to it
I felt the same way about the bike controls for the first hour or two, but I've gotten used to it. It's seriously a blast if you're at all into Xtreme sports games.
Ugh. It's spelled EXTREME. We don't live in a Mountain Dew ad from 1995.
@@kbuttstadt I'm sorry I ruined your day by misspelling a word on CZcams. It won't happen again.
I like when even it is a "recommended" review, Skill Up covers the game in a way that tells me it is probably not a good fit for what I would enjoy (enough to buy and play long term).
i think i will check it out on a sale in the future. It looks sweet.
@SkillUp have the controls been fixed??
Best review yet, thanks man! But I've got one question about the game which nobody answers in their reviews: is there a replay function like in Steep? Where you can replay everytime even in free roam?
I don't think there is
Haven't been disconnected at all on PS5 and no control lag or any issues there either.. the button mappings aren't the best in that sense but no actual control issues for me!
As someone who had to give up Downhill mountain biking because I broke my leg doing it, having a proper triple A experience downhill game makes me very very happy!
Hey you might like Descenders on steam :)
Very cool game! i'm definitely picking it up in a sale (or even better, waiting for it to show up on Game Pass)
I played the trial to this, and I'm absolutely picking it up on pay day. I couldn't get enough, and I severely dislike sports games
