Just rented it tonight as a matter of fact so I should have it for about a month or so. Played the demo a bit but I need to learn the ground game and a lot of other stuff before Id feel comfortable actually playing competitively. SCoLD said he was getting it tomorrow as well. It would be cool if there was a spectator mode so we could just get a bunch of us together for like a tournament or something. Like an old school UFC style ladder. Im probably bringing it to the LAN party this weekend so me and my friends can beat the shit out of each other and drink beer all night.

Ive seen you playing that fucking demo for like a month straight now. Everytime I see you on Im like how hasnt this guy gotten bored with it yet. Thats some dedication for just a demo with two fighters.

lol, what can i say, i love mma, and even with just two fighters to choose from learning the ground game takes a lot of time, im just now getting the hang of it, i win 8 out of 10 times on expert , and can pretty much win how i want, though i still have a hard time getting a sub. im planning to get fight night round 4 also, but im way more hyped for ufc. as for a spectator mode, that would rule, or even a way to save and share fights, or a full program with a main event and maybe 4 or 5 undercard fights, give 10 or 12 ppl a ppv to compete in....either way look for me on there tomorrow.

My friends are all about some Fight Night as well but Ive never really played them just because my friends always kick the shit out of me.

I did however get to play the new Fight Night 4 demo early and its pretty good. A lot better than UFC from what I can tell. FN4 is just insane as far as the technical feats it pulls off. Definetly the best fighting game Ive ever played, but Ill give UFC some time before I can completely say that although once you play FN4 youll see there is no comparison.

FN4 looked to fast compared to Round 3 when I first saw it and at first I thought they changed it way to much but after playing it I can say all those worries went away. It was nice for me because I was mostly playing defensively against my friend who expected to just beat the shit out of me as I havent had much experience with the games but I continuously won the 3 round only demo by playing the way I was. If this is the case then the game will be very realistic and fun knowing that you dont have to fight a certain way to win.

round 4 looks very tight, and the roster is awsome, but i still seem to get bored with just punching. but the thought of ko'ing ali with tyson is very appealing.

You know, if you want to talk about UFOs, you could make a topic about UFOs.  I don't think we've ever talked about UFOs...

I called my rental place and they STILL don't fucking have it.  I talked to the manager this time and she said it was coming in Thursday or Friday, and she agreed that it should have already been there.  So I put my name down as the first renter for the 360 version.  They should call me when it comes in, but they didn't call me when I reserved L4D...so I guess it all depends on if the people working remember to look in the book.

I will keep fucking pestering them though.  And if you like a fighting game, check out the UFC demo.  I watched the FN Round 4 trailer on YouTube, and it looked very similar to me.  I know Xizor said the controls are completely different but it looks like I remember it.  I'll still rent it probably though, but that's probably going to be a PS3 rental.  For some reason, games I've always played on PS3 I feel like it's just natural to play on the PS3, like RE5, Madden, GTA, and Need For Speed.

Ive been practicing on UFC for a little while today. This game has a huge learning curve thats for damn sure and there is so much fucking shit to remember that Im having to play the turtorials a few times just to try and retain it all. Definetly not a game you can pick up and play and be good at. Me and my buddy thought it would be fun to just go ahead and put it on Expert and learn the hard way but that just doesnt work. I cant seem to beat the AI on Expert at all. So Im taking small steps right now. I should hopefully feel comfortable all around in day or two.

Couple things I dont like already are for one the random knock outs. I know thats a part of the sport so I understand they tried to capture that, but they seem to happen pretty much every game. I hate when Im having a good match going with my buddy and either he or I just land one good punch and its overwith. This wouldnt be so bad if the hit detection with up to par with Fight Night 4. After playing that Im kinda jaded as FN4 has the most realistic hit detection in a fighting game ever.

Other thing thats annoying is the referee gets in the way sometimes. He has literally stepped in between me and my opponent countless times or managed to manuever into a position where I couldnt see for a second or two. This wouldnt be a big deal but its happened more than a few times in the couple hours Ive been playing. Again not a huge deal but it happens enough to be annoying.

Still cant give a verdict yet as this is a game Im going to have to spend at least a week or so with before I know if I like it. I love MMA but thats not enough to justify me playing the game if it doesnt hold my interest or has to many problems.

Don't worry, when I first played the demo I was thrown off at first over the whole sudden knockout thing, but as my defense got better it happened very rarely.  It still happens sometimes when I don't think it should, but only every couple of hours now.

Right Bumper blocks the face and Right Trigger blocks the body.  You really don't want to take more than 3 or 4 shots to the face or you could go down quite easily.  Blocking with the bumper or trigger really doesn't do much though, as you can still very easily be knocked out when someone kicks your hands directly into your face.

The best thing to practice is countering, press the right analog UP to counter the face and DOWN to counter the body.  You have to press it as soon as the attack lands, like Smackdown vs RAW, but the effect of countering is amazing, you can do different variations after you counter, including submissions and fighting for body position.  You probably already figured all this shit out though by now.

Ok, this UFC Undisputed 2009 is fun as shit.

After a 12 hour marathon of it today I can say the game is in fact incredibly fun. Again, the learning curve for this game is extreme and probably the steepest of any game Ive play in quite some time, but if you are willing to stick with it and get over that hump you will be greatly rewarded with one of the better fighting games in recent memory and definetly the best UFC game ever made.

Its amazing how I went from kinda liking it early on in the day to "cant put it down" within the course of one day. I cant stress enough how long it takes before the controls just become second nature but once that happens you can really enjoy this game and really start to see the depth that is there. I can see now why you spent so much time with the demo Slayer, although it doesnt compare to actually playing the game.

Playing through a career is where it gets really fun. Like playing the game itself your character starts out slow and weak and you really cant do a whole lot of ass kicking for a while. Honestly I was very skeptical about the career mode and the game for a while because it starts to seem very mundane and repetitive, but once you start fighting the top 10 ranked fighters of whatever weight class you choose to compete in you start to see the fun and depth really shine through.

The way THQ managed to capture the feel of actually fighting each individual UFC competitor is amazing. The real life stars AI counter-part feels almost spot on and adds real excitement to actually fighting and beating them. As a UFC fan you have somewhat of an advantage before hand because you can almost anticipate how said MMA star is going to fight within the parameters of the game.

Whats so fun is while the training portion of the game seems boring and kinda weak or half-ass at first, you really start to see the fun in micro-managing it and your fighter later on. The most incredibly awesome part is sparing with another person before your upcoming fight because your sparing partner will take on the traits of the fighter you are about to fight so it really is like training for the fight because you get a small glimpse of what its like to actually fight them. Then you can "train" and prepare for the fight however you see fit to do so knowing what to expect before hand.

Once you start fighting the big name stars it gets really epic and I really got into the fights. Whats so fucking awesome is that you have to adapt to each person you fight so you cant just fight the same way and expect to win every fight. I developed the method of basically just fighting said opponent the way they would fight me. Essentially beating them at their own game, which is incredibly satisfying. Taking on such stars as Rashad Evans and Chuck Liddel really do feel intense and you really get a sense of accomplishment from beating them.

Some opponents will just kick the shit out of you though. Rashad Evans if a fucking bitch and he kicked my ass every time I fought him no matter what I did but I enjoyed every minute of it as I enjoyed the challenge.

Also I want to take back what I said earlier about the ref getting in the way all the time. Never happened again for some reason after I posted that earlier.

The graphics are in the game are adequate I guess, but like most THQ games they fail to really impress or blow you away. They get the job done and all the fighters look like their real life counter-parts, but after playing Fight Night Round 4 its hard to be impressed with a game like UFC as FN4 is just fucking beautiful in every way possible.

I do however wish in some ways that fights would go to the score card sometimes. Ive only had 2 fights ever go to the scorecard as someone always gets KO'ed. The random KO's dont bother me as much as they did at first but I do think sometimes it could be toned down, but alas, it is the nature of the sport of MMA so I guess it makes sense. Its just a matter of not letting yourself get KO'ed really.

I also understand why there isnt a rematch option while competing in career as you would probably never actually lose, but I find myself just opening the disc tray if I lose most times before the game can save, not because I cant take losing, but more because I really enjoy some of the good fights and I want to play them again so that I can try and win and try different approaches to the match.

Ok so Ive typed a lot here but I just had to get all my impression out for those of you that havent played the full game yet. I still wont give a final judgement and I still cant say if Id like this or Fight Night better, but Im definetly digging UFC a shit ton right now. I still feel like I have more to learn and I dont even think Ive gotten as good as I can yet. Still cant beat the AI on Expert like its nothing which I hope to get to that level. I am however looking forword to human opponents as that always brings in a new level of depth.

heh told ya man, i felt the same as you at first, kept getting ko'd, raped on the ground by shogun, but i kept checking out the tuitorial and traing at all aspects of striking and ground work, now i only play on expert and i win around 8 out of 10 with liddel or hua, the small details on the game mean a lot,and i found if you keep the hands up and "step"; a lot ko's are far more rare. im gonna try to get the full game today, and hopefully the fnr4 demo as well, i do agree though ufc looks sweet,but fn4 is even more polished visually, cant wait to compare the two.

My movie rental place is a bunch of cunts as they told me the game was in today.  I walked in about 5 o'clock and the 360 version was gone.  So I picked up the PS3 version.  It's an amazing game definitely.

I've gotten to where I can win a good 70-80% on Expert.  Depending on who I am though.  It finally all came together when I looked inside the book and figured out how to do submissions, which before today was the only thing I couldn't do particularly well.  I've played two matches online and won both of them.  First with Lesnar, and second with Liddell.

Epic game.  And Xizor, you need games with a bigger learning curve, dammit.

Aww, that fucking sucks you didnt get the 360 version. I was hoping one of the two of you would get the game today so we could play.

As far as submissions I havent explored that element much yet. I do know how to do all the submission stuff its just not apart of my game yet.

I'll probably rent the 360 version eventually if you hold onto your copy for a while.  I've been playing some RL friends in it all day.  It's definitely one of the most enjoyable multiplayer games in a long time.

Fuck that game. I watch UFC all the time. My entire wardrobe is filled with UFC shirts. I even enrolled in MMA school but was too good and quit. I know all there is to know about UFC. I even know the addresses of all the fighters. I beat up my friends all the time to show my superiority.

Question: Has anyone ever met someone like that before and have you noticed that the people with this mentality all seem to hangout together? I've met lots of these people that think they're hot shit. It's a phenomenon that started a few years ago.
