I am never buying anything with Forrest Griffin on the cover!

If anyone can get me the canadian version with GSP, let me know!

c’mon john, i know you hate forrest, but please dont let him being on the cover deter you from buying this game. i’ve been playing the demo every day since it came out, and i cannot wait to pick up my copy of the game tomorrow. its amazing. just pull out the paper picture from the plastic case if it bothers you that much, but dude get the game. then us maniacs can exchange gamer tags and whoop each others asses!

I had the game since Thursday, and I’ve had 2 nights staying up till 4am playing. Plenty of people already have it. Online is pretty fun. As is career mode.

Matter of fact, I’m playing it now. ;)

I dont think you guys realize how much I hate Forrest Griffin! lol

Battling you guys online is too much to pass up. Guess I gotta go buy it!

Im pasting FEDOR on the cover! how u like dem apples?

Connection at a place I pre-ordered at (not Gamestop). I got word that the stash was in, went to the place, they had my stuff waiting at the counter, paid my 55 bucks, took it home and played till i felt like a loser and went to bed. woke up and felt better, repeat play till i feel like a loser

Are you going to use the picture that’s on the ceiling above your pillow or the one on the back of the bathroom door?

by DDT on May 18, 2009 6:22 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Probably the picture I have glued on the cover of the BIBLE!

How real is this game? do they let Forrest Ko people? If it were a realistic game, Forrest would NEVER be able to KO someone! lol

lol, does gray maynard actually do something in top position or just lay there? If he’s active, once again, it’s very unrealistic!

Synyster!I was wondering if you,can build up a fighter in all divisions or just one?Also i heard that online,those damn nerdy kids drop the fight just before losing it,to not tarnish their record!

by Alpha Male 360 on May 18, 2009 8:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Alpha, I think one son of a bitch did that to me. Pounding his face in and alla sudden connection timed out, an error has occured, match is invalid.

And guys, ANYTHING can happen in the game. Believe in that.

by Synyster on May 18, 2009 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

And you can create as many fighters as you want in all weight divisions.

by Synyster on May 18, 2009 10:54 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hahaha!That sucks!I think the best,will be to face only,peoples that you know or,peoples with some loses on their career!
BTW,it’s probably the,only thing,they got in their life(gaming)so we can’t blame them to do it!

by Alpha Male 360 on May 19, 2009 12:16 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I’m 23-9 online, and its only happened once, so i as long as the guy hasn’t found out the trick, and isn’t a top 10 dude, I dont think you have to worry about it

by Synyster on May 19, 2009 12:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

matter of fact john, if you buy it tomorrow i’ll challenge you. gamertag is Drew Digiddy. how bout a forrest rampage rematch. winner take all!

by Andrew on May 18, 2009 4:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

LOL… Dude you are too much.

For the Canadian verson you can just rip out the front page with Forrest and then smear vasaline all over the back of the case. :)

The Canadian cover should have a picture of BJ w/ his faced all smashed and bloody, crying like a little baby!

by LJ on May 18, 2009 4:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Actually we wont have to rip Forrest off the cover because GSP will be on the Canadian version. Get that version John, then you can leave Fedor on the bible.

by Smith on May 18, 2009 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Fedor on the bible, GSP on the cover. sounds perfect to me!

Why do you hate Forrest so much?

by Johnny Farnham on May 18, 2009 10:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

cause I dont think he has earned half the opportunities given to him, and I really have never been a fan of fighters that were incapable of ending fights, especially when you dwarf everyone you fight in SIZE! simple as that! btw, I dont even find him funny! NOt to mention he is an ex-cop! whats there to like?

by john on May 19, 2009 10:50 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Forrest is one of the hardest workers in MMA. How the hell do you hate someone that you’ve never even met before? You act like the guy pissed in your cornflakes or something. And by the way, Forrest has ended fights, and though he is no KO artist, he has KO’ed a couple of fighters in the past. Randy Couture is no KO artist either…do you hate him? Your hatred is unreasonable and I get sick of your constant bashing of the guy in your posts on this site.

by Laura on May 19, 2009 11:36 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Good one John. I disagree but it’s a genuine opinion nonetheless. It’s not hate in its severe form, I worded my question too equivocally. I get what you mean. I just disagree.

by Johnny Farnham on May 19, 2009 1:04 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t give a shit who is on the cover, I took off work and plan on playing this all day 2morrow!!

by ruan-fiy on May 18, 2009 4:26 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Same here… friggin hate it, I’ve played the demo over and over and just hearing the names of Chuck and Shogun makes me sick.
I’ll get it with the mail on either thu or fri.

by JonnyBoy on May 18, 2009 4:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Haha yeah, I think I’m so sick of playing Shogun and Chuck that when the game comes out I’ll be avoiding those two characters.

by Johnny Farnham on May 18, 2009 10:47 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Same here, I’ll never ever play as any of them again… I wasn’t planning on playing any of those to begin with but what to do!?! :P
Would be cool if one can create fighters that look similar to real known fighters, god there’s so many to beat! :P

by JonnyBoy on May 18, 2009 11:13 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t have Live so I couldn’t even get the demo. Can’t wait to play this and get the chance to destroy Karo, Leites and Coleman. Pity Guida didn’t make the cut because I wanted to destroy him as well.

ive been playing the demo..its too easy to knock someone out with a head kick and way too hard to summit the computer…anyone agree?

by justin on May 18, 2009 5:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah. I only play on Expert so I don’t know if you can submit on other difficulties but I can’t submit anyone. I haven’t tried too many times but I beat down the other dude until his stamina depleted and then tried a sub, but I still couldn’t. Maybe my rotation technique on the stick sucks.

by Johnny Farnham on May 18, 2009 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Johnny I thibk you’re doing it the right way… I just don’t think it works on the first levels… then it’s simply not MMA lol

by JonnyBoy on May 18, 2009 11:16 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah. Although when I’m Chuck versus Shogun, if I’m not too careful he suddenly pulls off a super sub and I can’t do anything. One time he got me in a guillotine as soon as I took him down, within the first 30 seconds of the fight. If I tried that against the computer, when both fighters are fresh, there would be no chance.

I just wanted to slam his ass on the canvas because he just goes for takedown after takedown. Not to forget that he can easily get a triangle when I’m doing a bit of ground and pound, so when I finally knocked him out whilst in his guard I felt vindicated. Hehe. This game is cool.

I bought an xbox 360 last week just for this! I can’t wait! When I figure out the online thing, I’ll take Arlovski and wait for your challenge Holland…

waste of money buying a 360 .. bad choice pal!

Typical PS3 bias. :D

by Johnny Farnham on May 18, 2009 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

its true! ps3 is better and i own both lol

by pwilson on May 18, 2009 11:14 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well between your opinion and the thousands of other people who own both, many from both sides liking one over the other, it’s obviously strictly subjective.

But that’s the thing, I don’t own both but I never wanted a PS3. Xbox Live is good as it is anyway, probably better than PS3’s equivalent. As a multimedia device I hear the PS3 is better but just for gaming the 360, despite not necessarily being better or worse, suits me and I like it.

by Johnny Farnham on May 18, 2009 11:59 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

But that’s typical 360 bias :D

by Johnny Farnham on May 19, 2009 12:00 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I can understand you may prefer the ps3, pal, but that does not make this a waste of money. I have enjoyed the system very much so far, and know that will grow exponentially when I get UFC Undisputed 2009…and hopefully all it’s sequels.

by theCloser on May 19, 2009 6:30 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

360 costs less and has a more stable online service and far better library of games and is an american product so is the obvious buy.

by PanicZoo on May 20, 2009 2:46 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I assume all the Best Buys are the same, but in the Chicagloand area you get 10 bucks off a ppv, a free UFC dvd and a 10 dollar gift card for buying it tomorrow.

Hey Guys speaking of this game I was just wondering what store reaction has been like in the States? I know up here in Canada every single game store and even Wal-Mart (and I mean the Wal-Mart I go to is in a small town of like 25K) and they all have a HUGE display. Wal-Mart has a the biggest display by far carrying all the UFC movies, books and the game tomorrow. I know there is big debate about whether its main stream or not but sad as it is, I think if you’ve hit Wal-Mart this big, your getting towards the big time.

Because he’s contracted or whatever with an EA Sports game due to come out supposedly.

Damn Cain Velasques is a beast in the game!!! I played it last night for about 3 hours after i got it at gamestop!!! I dominated with Cain all night. Powerful punches and probably the fastest heavyweight on there, quick transitions and punches and great recovery!!! I dont know if it was just me, but i noticed during my playing time with my bro, that there were hardly if any flash knockouts. In the demo, it seemed like every other minute we were knocking each other out. Yes there were some flash knockouts when i was playing but very few and we made it into the 2nd and third rounds often. We even went to a our first decision with BJ Penn and Hermes France. Oddly it was a 28-28 draw.

The game is the shiznit, Crocop is also a beast as is Wanderlie. I got a one punch KO with Wand. The first punch he threw connected on Rampage and Koed him.
