The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

[hoodyallen]

For sure. I'll do it tonight. I just watched the video review for darksiders and it actually looks really good. It basically looks like a 360 version of God of War.

spent probably 5 hours the last 2 nites attending to my online dyansty team VA TECH (year 6)

My offense is struggling...but I am liking my defense. Back to gay tony tonite....he misses me!

[Twigg4075]

I just traded an old 360 controller for GTA IV liberty city stories.....

Is anyone else as pissed as I am about LCS? It's fucking bullshit that they released both DLC on a disc after M$ swore they would be download only. Had I have known this bullshit I would've bought GTA4 on PS3 (because I associate GTA games with Sony consoles) and just bought LCS for the 360. Not to mention that I prefer physical media. I would much rather have a disc version than the shit taking up valuable space on my HDD.

What a crock.

LOL. I can't be the only one. I know a ton of people only bought the 360 version because of the expected DLC.

I'm actually more pissed that they released the two episodes on a standalone disc that doesn't require GTA4 to play.

I'm not pissed solely because that overrated game wasn't entertaining enough for me to want to play more of it.

Not that it was bad, but ya know what i'm sayin.

I hear ya. I still loved GTA4. I could've did without all the friend and relationship bullshit though.

I bought GTA IV and played it for about 4 days before selling it. Totally with you KG. That was the most overrated game in recent memory, with CoD:MW2 a close second (for me at least).

Just read that Heavy Rain was dated for Feb 16. Now if only I could scrounge up some semblance of an interest in that game.

They did some really cool things with GTA 4, but when it came down to what's most important about a game (one thing that's usually overlooked nowadays...which would be FUN) I thought Saints Row 2 kicked the shit out of GTA 4 in that deptartment.

The fact that it was co-op alone added so much more entertainment value and I didn't feel tied down to dragging my fat annoying virtual cousin to a lame mini pool game, instead me and a real life person drove a santiation truck around a neighbourhood spraying shit all over houses. Seriously, what sounds like more fun? lol

I only the damn game had trophy support... then again, GTAIV's trophy selection is halved due to no one playing it online anymore.

I may have to look into this non-trophied "fun" game.

I would probably agree about Saints Row. Both SR1 and 2 were crazy fun. Not to mention the shooting mechanic destroys GTA. I have no idea why Rockstar continues to use that antiquated shooting mechanic. I think the Giant Bomb guys said it best when they said that "Rockstar does a lot of shit because their Rockstar and they think they can."

I thought LatD was solid but Gay Tony definitely seemed to take GTA back to it's roots with the over the top awesome missions.

So then I'm on my way to get a new game:

GTA: LCS or Dragon Age Origins

Get GTA: LCS if you value any remaining free time you may have...

Dragon Age = You may not see the sun for a while.

[SethMode]

I actually got drunk and passed out playing Dragon Age last night. I still love the game, but I must admit, trying to 100% it is a fucking chore. Not because the achievements are hard, but just because of how many times you have to play through the damn thing.
