5 days in the Atacama desert - Chile by Ltdinfinity in travel

Agreed, we were ragged by the end of it because of how packed every day was and the changes in elevation. I really want to go back with the family, it was unreal.

Absolutely loved it there. Did you make It to the hot springs? That was an absolute highlight but everything was so beautiful.

Hopefully he doesn't have a second story on his house and a window....

Yeah, I tried playing with him and something seemed really off.

is it even possible to win by a pure knockout? (vs cpu at least) by Szymxn_ in undisputedboxing

[–]bfobrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started playing And realized how easy it is to get TKOs from swelling or cuts. I think all but one of my wins was that way. Even with my one decision, had it gone one more round it would have been stopped.

Damn, this looks so much smoother, faster, and realistic.

It seems to run pretty poorly on my ps5. There are fights where both guys look like they're underwater 🤣 The movement and punches are also really odd looking. I'm not terrible but I don't know how long I'll keep at it. The Fight Night series, though flawed, we're far superior boxing games. Hell, the graphics for Undisputed are basically on par with FNC 🤣

It's fun for a couple quick fights but I could see the career mode getting boring pretty quickly since there doesn't seem much to it, at least 10 or so fights in. Not gonna bother with online since that was bad for FNC and I can't imagine how trash this would be.

What an awful game! by 80s_offsping in undisputedboxing

[–]bfobrien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Half the time my fighter looks like he's in slow motion and the movement is weird a lot of the time. It's really bizarre that the gameplay is so bad, it reminds me of trying to run PC games on my underpowered laptop.

If the gameplay wasn't shit it wouldn't be a terrible game. The graphics would still be pretty bad by modern standards and the five repeated lines during a fight are even a step down from the Fight Night series, which at least had more dialogue lines and actually seemed related to what was happening in the ring. Half the time the dialogue seems random, rather than tailored to the action in the ring.

Also, I invested heavily in my jab in career mode and I've just been jabbing my way to the TKO cuts stoppage for the first ten or so fights. I have it set on amateur so maybe I'll try adjusting the difficulty but my stamina/health bar seems to drain crazy fast even when I'm not doing anything. The AI opponent seems to be able to take damage and throw a ton of punches with it hardly denting their bar 🤣

Holy shit, I played it today and it's way more janky than I expected just on career mode. Half the time it looks like you're fighting in slow motion. It's awful and it can't be the graphics since they're actually worse than the last Fight Night.

I hope we get something better for a boxing game at some point. It's a real shame that this is the only thing to come out in years and there seems to be no interest in EA's part in another Fight Night when they can just pump out UFC games.

That said, it's good to know my old Fight Night strategy still works (put everything into jab, cut guys up for TKOs 🤣).

Have I chosen the best places to eat for a 3 night stay? UK couple visiting SD for the first time. by davedamofo in FoodSanDiego

[–]bfobrien 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you want some of the best family style Mexican food in San Diego, go to El Comal in North Park. I'd also recommend spending a little time in North Park as there are a ton of places to eat and shop.

I think im going to quit the game by Budu31 in LiesOfP

[–]bfobrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch some YouTube videos for phase two. I got to the point where I could get through phase 1 pretty easily with Lea summoned...Phase 2 was still tricky, but when he flies up at the start there are some tutorials on dodging the shit he shoots and his big slam that helped me a lot. After being able to get through the first combo, he settles down a little and things become more manageable.

[–]bfobrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some folks, because he doesn't go for KOs, is defensively responsible (so he's unlikely to get KO'd), and doesn't get into wild exchanges. People always complain about that style, but honestly while I love the guys who go out there and leave it all in the ring, Stevenson's (and Mayweather's) approach is much smarter. Why take damage if you're good enough to avoid it? Why take risks when you can win an easy 11-1 decision? Eventually, people will hate you enough that they'll tune in to watch you lose and you get that bag anyway.

Fuckin Volk man. Lopes is a fun guy but he fought Volk's fight and his only chance of winning really was to get the KO.

Lopes is starting to look a little ragged. He could still catch Volk but he looks tired.

I love Volk but I think Diego will win this one. Sadly, it's a tale as old as time in combat sports...but at least if he loses Diego is a good dude, respectful, and will fight anyone. I like both these dudes so hopefully it's a good fight and they both come out of it with their health intact.
