Rugby League Live 3

[axl rose]

I can't understand anyone that would have enjoyed RL2 back in the day not getting anything out of this at all. RL2 is a steaming pile of shit compared to this. We haven't come as far as other sports games from that era to this, but that's hardly surprising.

I still fire this up in be a pro mode from time to time. Pretty enjoyable.

Rugby League 2 by SIDHE (i think they are dead now) was atrocious. For some reason they thought responsive controls were not necessary, and all the players controlled like cement trucks.

Rugby League 2 would probably still at least work if I still had it and my PS2. Rugby League Live 3 is completely broken on Xbox for some people right now, myself included, dropping to a stupidly low FPS fairly quickly after the game is launched and becoming unplayable as a result. Deleting and re-downloading the game did nothing to solve the issue, and there has been zero response from Big Ant themselves to a thread on their forums talking about the issue.

Been playing this again lately but it is sh!t

The first sidhe game that came out in 2003 is the best ever rugby league game

Tbf, i still haven't layed RLL3 yet hence why I haven't complained about he gameplay.

But i refuse to still pay $80 for a game that is 2 years old. even the pre owned copies are relatively expensive.

Then again I haven't actually looked for it the past few months so it could have gone down in orice abit.

Doesn't look like the price has dropped, still $90 at JB and $100 at EB. Probably similar price on the Xbox, Playstation and Steam stores.

 

[perverse]

The price won't ever drop, which is why I bought it as soon as I saw it on Steam. I can't really speak to peoples Xbox issues, I don't play games on a console that have a PC release. It's only like $65AUD on Steam, btw. Sucks that Xbox is having problems, I guess.

Your nostalgia has given you rose-tinted glasses. RL1 was even worse than RL2. I played both of those games absolutely into the ground, it was the best we had at the time... but you're hard pressed to find any single part of those games that is superior to RLL3. Even when comparing them both to sports titles of the time, I believe RLL3 comes out way, way ahead.

I'd be surprised if you could name a single feature that was better in RL1 compared to RLL3, relative to other games of the time or otherwise. RL1 and RL2 were more like train simulators than they were Rugby League games.

If anyone still plays Rugby League Live 3 on the PC, go and check out my PC mods on the Big Ant forums. They include things like 2016 jerseys and balls that I have created. I post new stuff often and will do 2017 content once 2016 is done. Enjoy!!

Exactly. I find it hilarious when people come on and say how good old versions of this game were. Anyone who genuinely thinks that RLL3 isn't the best of the lot, is absolutely insane.

I don't play it anymore, but gave it a decent run during footy season and will probably dust it off next season. It's far from perfect, but no game is.

I trumped up the courage to pop this back in to scratch the footy itch after almost a year without touching it....And was immediately reminded why I hadn't. What utter trash. Rugby League deserves so much better than this lazy tripe.

Seemingly I've been under a rock the past 18 months ... I just today learned this game existed on PC!
So I begrudgingly paid the $65 to download it (I would have MUCH preferred to buy an actual physical copy from a JB HiFi or the like, but given it's seemingly not been released as such, this would do the trick). 10 hours later, the download completes and I look forward to giving the game a go. And I need a freakin' game controller in order to play it. You have got to be kidding me?!! There's no option to use the keyboard.

FFS. I look forward to actually playing this one day.

 

[BestHookerRein]

Do you have a ps4? I'm pretty sure you can use that controller in your pc

 

[callmack1]

You can also use an Xbox one or 360 controller.

If you enjoy pc gaming then buying a Wired Xbox controller is the way to go. Plug and play.

I enjoy the game still. Needs a bit of an update and has it's issues but it's definitely the best game in the series.

just bought RLL3 for 15 bucks from the second hand store. For the price it's enjoyable but still disappointing. Does anyone have a list of the challenges/achievements to complete? (ie complete 940m gained in a match, 100 offloads in career etc?)

Play the game for 2 seasons without giving up on it.

I've heard that if you play this game for 1400 hours you learn how to actually play it properly and it becomes a half decent title.

RLL2 was better

RLL2 was better

I think that was the last one I bought. The bugs in these games just threaten too many broken controllers haha.
