UFC 2009: Undisputed Comments by Matt Edwards

You'll never stop the "Ooo'er homoerotic!" comments as any Pro Wrestling fan can attest too.

Maybe it bothers MMA fans more as it's a real combat rather than combat theatre, but I really wouldn't get all het up about it.

@Midnight Walker: It's not really difficult to become HW champion if you only have to fight three fights.. and can afford to lose one of them! And remember, he won his belt against a 45 year old dude.. Both Nogueira and Couture are old and past their primes, and they are considered the top dogs in the weight class. Pretty weak class, wouldn't you think?

The dude I'm aching to play is on a 26 (!) fight winning streak..

If you're comfortable enough in your sexuality to be able to play game where muscular men regularly tussle with each other on the ground, as well as beating each other senseless, then Undisputed comes highly recommended.

Comfortable? Certainly!
Sweaty, muscular guys? I'm in! ;-)

Call of duty 4 is for WIMPS who can't shoot REAL GUNS like me

I shoot guns all the time, I would go on about all the guns I shoot but that would be so guns of me

I like that games like Fallout 3 (i.e. absolutely packed with content and things to do) only need two pages to summarise, yet a game that is essentially mashing A as quickly as possible gets three!

Any publishers reading, I have a Turkish Wrestling design ready for development if you're interested?

G_A_Y... what a lovely acronym.

So whose sock is it? Come on.

i knew that last paragraph was gonna come up.

i fear it was said, in, y'know, jest.

"i fear it was said, in, y'know, jest."

Didn't you get the memo? EG forumites are required to have humor removal procedures before posting.

If that last screenshot was anything to go by, I'm apparently not comfortable enough in my sexuality to play this game :).
That ground game thing is just a tad too intimate and sweaty for my taste.

I'm rather clueless about combat (I don't think watching shitty ninja movies by the dozen in the 80s and taking a few karate lessons 20 years ago count for much), but how often would a real life fight between two competent fighters end up on the ground for more than seconds?
Without rules wouldn't one of them usually have managed to critically injure the other (going for the throat, eyes, whatever) before they end up spending several minutes on the ground with their arms and legs wrapped around eachother?

@ Miths

Depends on what you mean by competent fighter. If you mean someone who's trained Karate etc or is just a good scrapper, then the issue is that they don't know how to fight on the ground, so more likely then not would end up rolling around scratching and biting like something in primary school until it's either broken up or everybody else joins in. The skill of grappling arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo or wrestling, is in being able to control and dictate the fight should it hit the ground. That control might mean applying a choke, or it might simply mean being able to get the opponent off you so you can get the fuck out of there before their mates pile in.

Critics of grappling arts often say things like "what if there was glass on the floor" or "what if there's 10 of them". If there's glass on the floor then I'm not going to dive on it to win the fight, but if I've ended up wrestling with the guy then I'm sure as hell gonna try and throw him as hard as possible on his head so he lands on it. And if I do fall over with him, then I'd like to know how to get up quickly, even if he's still on top of me. And regarding multiple opponents, well any martial art that claims they can teach you to fight 5 guys is lying. Maybe if they line up in an orderly queue... All you can really do is hope that they don't all charge at once.

Great ! I looked foward to this game, now it's a must buy :)!

yum yum sold!

Has anyone mentioned how utterly homosexual this game and indeed this style of (sexual) combat is? No? Well, it is. It's even gayer than Hulk Hogan in a tutu. Playing this type of sex 'game' makes you gayer than Boy George with a penis in every hole, yup.

UFC Undisputed? URGay Undisputed is more like it.

haha.... you have to laugh at the insecure little fags who make homoerotic links with this game. UFC is the wave of the future in combat sports. Deal with it because when Boxing is dead, you're all going to be into it.

Totally not gay at all, nope.

Nope... it's not gay. It's about as viscious as fighting gets. You guys are just too stupid to see it as anything but homosexual.

Out of interest, how many of you stupid people have actually watched a UFC/MMA event?

"Nope... it's not gay. It's about as viscious as fighting gets."

Yeah, arse rape does tend to be quite vicious, what's your point?

my point is that your lack of education allows your feable mind to fantasize about homosexual acts when you see a fight go to the ground. It says a whole bunch about you.

I have downloaded the Demo and played it near enough every day for at least an hour, the standing game 'striking' is really good and gives a bit of change from the boxing games, as fo rthe ground game, once you understand how it works it can become very very good, all in all it is a well rounded game and the 'flash KO's make you want to rematch the mother fucker straight away.

Also with Boxing/UFC(mma) arguments, I love both Boxing and UFC - Boxing was on the decline until fighters like Mayweather/Paccio/Hatton/Calzahgekahn (no good heavyweights arond - klitchko is boring as hell) started putting a bit of drama in to it - drawing in big crowds in vegas, up until then it was pretty dead, hopefully more good fighters appear and keep Boxing popular.
UFC/mma is growing at a really great pace and advertising is vitl to this, people don't remember to well that this 'cage' fighting originates from ILLEGAL fighting and has been adapted to be a 'sport' - it is basically two guys totally fucking each other up by almost any means they can.

For me i hope both the 'sports' grow and grow - i can't wait till firday to get the game - see you online hopefully folks

"my point is that your lack of education allows your feable mind to fantasize, blah blah blah"

You're right of course, I mean you're obviously a hardcore Hulk Hogan fan, I'm sure your intellect far outweighs that of my own, and I have now come to see that oiled men writhing around on the floor and groping each other is not homoerotic in the slightest, only a real man would enjoy watching that. Gay guys hate watching muscle bound men in their little panties, sweating and stuff, don't they.

Oh, by the way, seeing as you brought up the subject of education,'feable' isn't actually a word, the spelling you were looking for was 'feeble'.

/pats XdarXideX on his scruffy little head.

If lesnar wants to be the HW champ for real, he knows who he has to beat. Will prob be the biggest MMA fight of all time ( might also be one of the shortest :o ) anyone who follows MMA and not just UFC knows the guy i mean. This game seems to be a great aproximation of MMA, though getting your head round all the buttons is harsh :) certainly as good a representation of MMA as i have ever seen on a video game.

I can say as someone without sight that the game's commentary track is one of the finest. I've ordered the game after listening to some of the videos on youtube. The product is certainly something to keep an eye on for each generation.

Can I play as Fedor?

"Totally not gay at all, nope."

Lawls! Where the hell do you find this stuff? :D

@Wastelander

I found it under XdarXideX's bed, it was slightly sticky too, make of that what you will.... :D

I'm going to buy this game. I'm going to buy this game because this is the funniest forum thread I have read in years. Anything that inspires such passion (of any persuasion) must have something going for it.

Just out of interest, are there any gay men here who are offended by being compared to UFC fighters? Just wondering...

So I admit that I have a TV that supports only 480i/480p/1080i. Blame the economy, blame me, who cares. I went out to the wonderful GameStop yesterday and bought the new UFC game for the PS3. Now I looked before I bought it to see if it had 1080i HD support before I made my purchase. The back of the box says "SUpported HD Video Output 720p/1080i. Sweet! Even in my low-class standing I can still enjoy the wonders of HD UFC action.

Or Not.

You see, upon start-up the title switches to one of the 480 options. Unlike every other title that I have added to my collection that "Supports" 1080i, the crap ass programmers at THQ managed to fuck up and shit dick the games output performance. After calling the customer service line for clarification, I was told the PS3 version only plays in 720p. The 1080i on the box means that the title "PLAY ON A TV THAT SUPPORTS 1080i BUT WILL NOT OUTPUT IN THAT RESOLUTION. False advertising bullshit from a game company? Shocker.

PS - THQ...FUCK YOU. I have been involved in making games for over 6 years. I might actually know a little something about video output resolutions. Just to make sure that I wasn't wrong here, I did a check on my debug system and the only supported resolutions available for the PS3 version are 480i/480p/720p.

sincerely hope that the people calling this game "gay" aren't into silly games with wizards, fireballs, aliens, spells, monsters, spaceships, wannabe gangsta carjackers, dragons, zombies, androids, mutants, etc... time for some of you to turn off the computer or console, and get a real life.

K1>MMA>Blolxing

Wow, I'm shocked this might actually be good.

UFC: The "sport" which is sooo interesting that they had to put a reality show around it

Played the full game earlier today and thought it was average. It does win the award for the 'most information to take in via the tutorial' though. It would also win the 'campest game' ever award too. 5/10.

I have about 25 hours total playing the 360 version thanks to a friend, ten of them in career and the rest against friends. I wasn't too impressed with the game at first, but after a few hours of fighting and training I was hooked. I look forward to getting it for my PS3 tomorrow.

Edit: All the trolls in this thread highlight the average mental age of Internet users. I wonder where the mods are.

@gradius

oh shit, I mispelled a word. My point must be invalid. I still question your education because you clearly haven't any clue as to what happens in an mma match. Oiled? No that's sweat. Groping? No that's a fight to remove your opponents ability to fight back effectively, use up their energy and possibly pull a limb in a way it's not made to go or choke someone half to death. It's called fighting you idiot. Don't be so insulted that you need to fight back against me in reply to other people's posts that have nothing to do with me.

By the way I find it funny how you link hulk hogan to gay acts yet you know who he is. Ex wwf fan?

I bet you're a die hard soccer fan who's named his unwanted child 'manunited''. Go cling to the last few strings hanging from your questionable heterosexuality. You're obviously struggling you goddamn nuckle-dragging retard.

"oh shit, I mispelled a word. My point must be invalid. I still question your education....."

It's 'misspelled', oh and the word 'nuckle' doesn't exist either. Seriously, I'm not going to argue about education with someone who obviously hasn't had one. Ask your mummy to buy you one of these and get back to me when you know how to communicate at an adult level.

On another note, I never knew baiting could be so easy, I should do it more often.

Baiting? You weren't baiting, you're just trying to cover up the fact you're completely uneducated about the sport and got exposed about your extreme sexuality discomfort.

Not that it matters, but FYI I'm using my iPod to access the net and I find it a little hard to type when the keyboard stops responding every now and then. It also has a predictive text feature which often catches typos and corrects them, but when there is an advert refreshing itself the iPod doesn't like it.

Educated or not, you're still an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Baiting = calling something 'gay' and waiting for the retards to bite, that's exactly what I did and it worked a treat. Read my first post here, if that's not baiting, I don't know what is. At least you have CountFapular backing you up though, he thought the Saw movies were 'intellectual' so I guess you two are on roughly the same level mentally. As for your excuses regarding your illiteracy...hmm. Anyway, I'm off, I'll leave you to enjoy your semi-naked sweaty men in tight pants.

A lie and a declaration of you exit from a losing battle, accompanied by an attempt at turning the tables using the same dialog as the person you're opposing. You're a closet case and your mentality gives you away when compared to the pattern of the arguement. That's me politely saying that you're a fucking idiot and I'm glad you're going, because maybe a little reflection on this day's commenting will allow you to accept just how much of a butthole you are. Or maybe it will just make you realize that instead of "baiting" you've really just wasted a whole bunch of your life making yourself look stupid.

Now I'm sure 'manunited' needs a change of nappy or something but be careful!! If it's a boy you might feel a bit gay.

Ja ne

Sheeesh...

:/

LOL im not a huge poster on EG but i often visit the site just for the childish arguments in the comments section.

BTW does anyone think this is better than punch out? :) ill get me coat!!

Okay, after playing the demo for an hour I take back my previous comment about the homoerotic space marines... oh, wait wrong game - the last part at least.
I still think two half naked, sweaty men wrapped around each other on the floor looks rather iffy, but I actually enjoy most of the game mechanics - what little I've managed to learn and remember after going through the tutorial sections and a few exhibition matches (which mainly consisted of punches and kicks) - so I have a feeling I might actually end up buying this tomorrow when I'm also picking up Bionic Commando.

Ok, I just have to say that the last section on this review is incredibly stupid from the reviewer. I mean seriously, thats just plain childish.. And it only makes the whole comments-section fill up with these gay-jokes and all other shit instead of talking about the actual game.

All in all, plz.. lets leave these "jokes" to commentors in the future instead of setting them up on the review?

This is a great game, and I'm glad to see devs finally starting to show a bit of support for the gay community. Up until now it has been hard for guys like XdarXideX to find games that are geared towards their sexual preferences but now UFC has changed all that. This title also takes away the need to 'come out' to your friends and family as just playing it infront of them will tell them all they need to know, taking away the need for that often embarrassing/awkward conversation, good stuff!
