    Yeah I was looking at the aim and it seems weird just holding a triangle. Do the buttons feel out of place or are they easy to get used to.

     

    It actually feels surprisingly great. It's easy to use and you learn the button locations pretty quickly.

     

    At first I was actually confusing myself because I didn't know where a button was while the VR headset was on.....so I was taking it off and looking at the controller. Then I realized I could just hold up the controller IN VR and look. Lmao.

    Did you ever use the sharp shooter?

    Nope, never actually heard about it until now. Looks pretty cool. I great thing about this Aim Controller is the 2 joysticks being on it. The one thing I hated so far about PSVR was with the move controllers there are no joysticks to move around. PSVR could definitely benefit from upgrading the move controllers to have joysticks.

     

    Sharp shooter has the shoulder rest too, like an actual gun would. That's the main gripe I have with the Aim Controller is that there is nothing on it to have rest on your shoulder while aiming around. There have been plenty of screenshots on Reddit though of people taping some sort of contraption onto it like the end of a crutch.

    Do you use the vr with those weird motion wands or controller?

    With Firewall I use the gun.

    I have the motion wands (Playstation Move controller) as well. You can't use those for Firewall though.

     

    With Firewall you either use that Aim Controller or the regular PS4 controller.

    Whoa, i've never played a Red Dead game before but that looks pretty cool.

    Dumb question, but how would multiplayer for a game like this work? Would be cool to band together with buddies and create your own outlaw gang to pit against others.

    THat's basically what RDR1 was like online. Just galloping around with your buddies or in a carriage. Taking down waves of enemies or other players.

    Obviously, this one is going to be so much more than that.

    Poking is ridiculous, I find I'll be in position and still "mispoke" lol. I'm not terrible, but tend to get one each game. Right now the penalties seem to be charging and tripping. Literally had a game where each team had 10 powerplays. 

     

    Main problem with the beta is getting a game to work though, I've had it work once every 3 tries, which is terrible.

    I think accidentally getting a tripping call once or twice a game is probably a good thing. It's never going to be perfect. But yeah, the main problem I've seen are charging calls. Although I can't tell if that's just a ton of people charging each other, or just getting called for a regular hit. There's definitely a lot of guys that are charging, that's for sure. Testing out the new hitting.

    Will be a work in progress for me i live off the pokecheck 

    First game i played i got kicked after taking 5 tripping penalties in the 1st.

     

    I use poking more than hitting as well. Just don't spam it and it's mostly fine. Although they should probably turn it down a tad. Games take forever to play when your opponent takes 15 penalties.

    Converting a defenseman to forward... and then making him play defense.

     

    That's that 5D chess I expect out of the Canucks organization. 

    That $&!# made my night.

    I hope that Brock is signed for at least 6 years, hopefully 8.  I think getting your young guys locked in long term right after the ELC is the best way to build.  That way you have certainty of what you are paying your core stars, and you can build out the rest of the roster form there.  If Boeser picks up where he left off, and can put up 40 goals as a sophmore, I wouldn't bat an eye at 8x8.

    I would say that once our young guns get out of their ELC's and into their big contracts out of them, the Canucks will be a contending team.

     

    Lock down Boeser, Pettersson, and Demko and we'll be golden for years. Obviously that's pending Pettersson and Demko make it big in the NHL.

    Lesnar is back in the testing pool.  Anyone is allowed back in and out if they want.

     

    He gonna be tested while serving the remaining 6 month suspension.

     

    I'm aware he's back in. You can't just jump in and out of it though, not if you're fighting.

     

     

    I'm still excited for that fight though. Chubby father against mountain beast. At least that's what it will look like visually, but in reality it will be MMA legend vs. wrestler.

    Lesnar is actually an inch shorter than Miocic (6'3 vs 6'4). But of course size wise one of the biggest ever. Regardless, DC will mop the floor with him just like Cain did. 

    Yeah, I definitely expect DC to win against Lesnar. He trains with Cain full time, and Brock's been away from the game for so long.

  11. Jon Jones is the GOAT at being his own enemy.

     

     

    I'm so happy for DC though. The guy deserves it. Miocic was a great champion, and I would bet he'll be back though.

     

    The Lesnar thing is such a money grab though. The guy is allowed in and out of the USADA pool and now will be in an instant challenge for the title. Obviously it makes sense money-wise, and it's not like I won't be watching it. Man, it'll be interesting to see just how much of a difference that size between him and DC is. He towers over him.

    You're on a team consisting of 3 lines(9 forwards, 6 D, 2 goalies). There are 9 games a week and players play 3 games a week(Goalies can play up to 6).

     

    There are 82 games in a season and each season is run 9 weeks, then playoffs.

     

    It is essentially the NHL but video game version. There's Free agency, trades, all-star game, Stanley cup playoffs, etc.

     

    There are GMs who can sign, trade and waive players. Free agency is a bidding system so good players get bid up high but you have to meet the salary cap.

     

    It is a little bit of commitment but if you're into competitive gaming it's fun.

     

    Sounds like fun. Do they make the instant transition to NHL 19 when it comes out?

    there are 3  leagues NHL, AHL, CHL. Each team has management consisting of other people who are signed up for the league. At the start of every season they have scouting games to find players for their teams. If you are new you have to start in the CHL, after your first season you can be drafted. If you are not drafted you have to play something like 40 games in the CHL before you can move up to the AHL or NHL. There is a salary cap, you can be traded, called up, waived.

    So, it's sort of like playing EASHL but with leagues and individual promotions, etc?

  14. The guy obviously has a ton of skill, ripping apart that league he was in.

     

    139lbs is something to be concerned about, though. 160lbs, 175, or whatever Pettersson and Gaudreau are, sure. They're fine at that weight. It's very doable in the NHL with a ton of skill. Patrick Kane is light, too.

     

    139 is a low number though. I'm 5'7" and I'm like 180lbs. Although I'm probably 10lbs overweight for my build. 139lbs just sounds super low.

     

     

    I don't know. I'm not holding any judgement until I see this kid in action. He's a super skilled Russian and it's been awhile since the Canucks have had one at the forward position. Who was the last promising one, like Shirokov?

  15. 2nd best D in the draft. This pick will do Vancouver wonders. I can't wait for him to get to the NHL and gain some chemistry alongside guys like Pettersson, Boeser, and Horvat.

     

    Maybe even make the NHL out of the draft? Who knows? We'll have to see though.

    Plus Kane was going to repeat too before the rape scandal . Same cover as toews 

    Yeah, that's why I wasn't considering it a "repeat". I mean, it was pretty much, however.

     

    Kane had one, then Toews the year after....then later on it was both of them....until Kane &^@#ed up and it was just Toews.

     

    Subban is a good choice, but yeah, Ovie on the cover in the Caps red jersey would look slick. When he was on the cover they still had the eagle jerseys.

    I wish they made NHL for PC <_<

    EA will never do that with NHL. They'd lose a lot of sales because the first time they bring it to PC, the community will put out their own roster updates and customize their own teams, etc. It'll be better than the next 1,2, or even 3 sequels from EA.

     

    It's one of the reasons why NHL 04 is still popular on PC.

    I always wait till it’s for 20 bucks. Recycled garbage , fifa is the king for sports games.

     

    also ovie should

    be on the cover not pk

    Ovie was on the cover in 07. They don't repeat players, as far as I can recall.

     

     

     

    This game looks pretty decent with the improvements. Although I'm holding my judgement until I see more and get my hands on it.

    The next gen Xbox will still be within the Xbox One family. They're going to keep releasing more powerful hardware every few years like PC, but you're right it'll likely be a PS5 game. There's no question in my mind I'm getting this game for PC! Maybe it will be a PS4 game and PS5 will have the 'special edition' lol.

     

     

    On a side note I'm so excited for the Spider-Man 2 reboot coming out this September. I loved that game so much. Insomniac is one of my favourite developers and my favourite under the Sony umbrella. 

     

    I wouldn't be too surprised if it was like Skyrim, where it released on the PS3, then came to the PS4. It'll just be downgraded on the PS4, then they'll hype up the graphical upgrades on the PS5 and charge full price for it again. Much like they did with GTA5 on last gen and current gen. Many people will just buy 2 copies of the game.

    Apparently Elder Scrolls 6 is coming.. soon.. in x number of years. Try 2020.

    I wouldn't bet on it being a PS4/One title. Probably next-gen. They showed nothing but like 20 seconds of a landscape and some music without even a title yet.
