Moto GP 3 Poker Night Wednesday

Boys:

I'm playing host to the first DSP Moto GP 3 Poker Night at 10:30 p.m. (EDT) Wednesday, release day for the game.

The game can handle up to 16 racers online, I believe. I'm not sure how many my connection will support, but I could handle around 12 with Moto GP 2. Maybe if we find a stronger connection among us we can switch hosts once people arrive.

Post here if interested. Man, I can't wait!

Take care,
PK

I'm definitely interested.

Definitely count me in!

I have a decent connection, so maybe I can host 16 if we get that many. Or perhaps Climax will program in where the best connection will be the host.

Regardless, I can't wait for this game to come out!

I want use my best buy GC to buy this game, so no racing for me until Saturday.

I'm in.

I am likely to make it, but can't guarantee it. I am looking forward to this game, though; I think the league possibilities will be very good, what with qualifying and all that!

I'm in, and I will be happy to host if necessary.

Still planning to make Poker Night tonight, but may be a little late, as my Fantasy Football draft is at 9. Figure the latest it will run is 11. Looking forward to some MotoGP 3 action online again.

Well, my will power is quickly deteriorating, so there is a chance I will end up buying this game this evening.

If so, I'll look for you guys.

We're still on for tonight, fellas! I need to get out to EB this afternoon.

I know the new fantasy city tracks are a big attraction, but I also want to run a nice handful of the classic true Moto GP tracks, such as Mugello, Jerez, Sachsenring and Philip Island, to name a few.

It's going to be a long, fun night!

Take care,
PK

Do you know what kind of assists this game typically has, and if each online racer is able to choose their own assists?

Just wondering, otherwise I'd be an extreme menace on the track when I combine my lack of skill with my unfamiliarity with the circuits and how to get around them on a bike.

That is probably the track I suck most one. You'll own me there.

But I'm cool with racing wherever!

Dave:

Not sure. Don't worry -- even MGP vets will be rusty unless Kruza shows up. I noticed he was practicing with MGP 2 last night on XBL, and he's fast as hell.

Nobody is expecting a classic Rossi-Gibernau duel tonight. We're just going to have fun and kick the tires of the game, seeing all it hopefully has to offer. We won't get serious until Thursday night, when I've already had about 10 hours into the game.

Take care,
PK

I can bring up the rear for about 1 1/2 hours or two.

anyone know the MSRP on this game?

fsquid · Post by **fsquid** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:40 am

why can't Best Buy have this game today?

$39.99?

I just picked up a copy at Gamestop - $.39.99

Impressions yet?

Dave · Post by **Dave** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 1:23 pm

F*ck, I don't know what it is about a game retailing for less than $50, but whatever it is makes me want to buy it.

Looks like I know where $60 of my Gamestop credit is going--Moto GP3 and NHL 2k6.

Hopefully I get a chance to race with you cats tonight.

Yes. The package looks real pretty sitting here on my desk at work.

BTW, it is $40

Perfect for a cheap-ass-gamer like myself. This is actually my first game (madden not included since I sold it for what I bought it for) since NCAA 06.

I will try and get online with you guys tonight, but be warned: I am much worse at video game riding than real life riding.

I have mine on order through Gamespot.com and it still has not been shipped. I am looking forward to playing in next week's poker night with you guys.

First game I have bought since NCAA.

F*CK. My local EB has one copy left and won't save it for me, and I can't get out of here for an hour or two.

Someone else may have to play host to Poker Night ...

Take care,
PK

Dave · Post by **Dave** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 2:16 pm

PK, the EB is your only option, isn't it? I was shocked to find out that Gamestop would hold a copy for me until closing tonight.

Peer pressure is a b*tch

pk500 · Post by **pk500** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 2:36 pm

EB is my only option to get it today. No Gamestops in the area. Nearest one is 40 miles away, and with gas at $3 per gallon, there's no way in hell I'm driving there.

Gaming is fun, but it doesn't mean THAT much to me!

Take care,
PK
