sleeper game since you bought your system? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Though Crackdown still is known, I have to throw that one in there. Many thought it sold because of the Halo 3 demo stuff which did help it. However, that game is still addictive to me. Also like Rockstar Table Tennis, Gun, and Pac Man Championship addition. Those games steadily stay in the rotation man.

Guess I'll eventually get that Orange Box and Darkness. Too many games. I haven't even touched Prince of Persia yet.......

One of the best, most unique games this console generation. EA published it too.

Reminds me a lot of the awe and immersion I experienced the first time I played Jumping Flash on the PS1.

Only this game is edgy and the soundtrack is amazing. I can't say enough positive things about the game. Happy to know there is a sequel underway as well.

Honestly? X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

I NEVER thought I'd play a movie tie-in game that was THAT good.

I had a blast with it.

Goldeneye?

Interesting. I had sort of pushed the game aside after the reviews, though I had originally been interested in the concept. After seeing some of the comments in here, though, maybe I'll end up giving it a look.

I had the same thought. Goldeneye still can't be touched when it comes to movie games.

M'sE is only $20 new at most places now. Well worth it.

Ok, I'll stop pimping such a great game.

Mass Effect. Nobody would consider it a sleeper game but it was a sleeper for me. My cousin works for Microsoft and scored some free games and gave them to me for Christmas since he already had them all. I was never big into RPG games or RPG-elements in games (mostly played sports and FPS) but this game absolutely blew me away. ME2 is my most anticipated game period.

Left 4 Dead. Knew it would be fun, but its probably been my favorite game on 360.

Honorable mention to dead space. It was so good that it made resident evil unplayable for me because you can't move and shoot.

Not trying to kill your thunder but I HATED that game with a passion. That game is the reason why I stopped listening to Major Nelson's podcast. Herb.

I will put another game in there. Rockstar Presents Table Tennis. I'm addicted to it. I finally learned how to be Jester and I'm having a ball. My wife and baby were watching me tonight play. I wish they would come out with a second one where depth was the key and some upgrades. At least toss us some juicy downloads.......

Best games I've ever played.
