The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

I like how I'm going to reinstall windows today and my biggest worry in terms of backing things up is making sure I get all my game saves.

Recent Demo thoughts:

After finally getting to the demos that were backlogged due to the PSN Hacking Fiasco of 2011, I gotta say that I'm on the fence for a lot of games.

LEGO: Pirates was a decent enough platformer/puzzler game that got me into wanting to check the catalogue of older titles in the LEGO series.

Unfortunately this means having to slog through the titles that probably aren't that great.

Brnt was right about the water being jim dandy though.

Also, the Motorstorm: Apocalypse demo was just an average level of either driving a "Supercar" or a Motocross bike through a level filled with dumb bots.

There's no real sense of imminent danger and anything that would screw you up during the race happens so far ahead of you that you won't need to worry.

Can't recommend a solid buy for either unless you're a fan.

Addendum:

Outland = That N+ flash game with the ninja mixed with Ikaruga (you gotta switch better red and blue damn quick sometimes) and better platforming.

The demo is just a big cocktease that makes me want to drop $10 on this one from Housemarque.

Worth it IMO.

Without spoilers: was it a mindfuck ending like 1?

The Evil one for inFamous 2 is.

It felt like they could have done more with it though.

I keep thinking about buying the PS3 version of GTA4 Complete because I think Amazon has it for $20. But then I remember about the crappy targeting and the stupid dates with girls and hanging out with your friends and decide against it.

It's almost worth it just for The Lost and the Damned and the Ballad of Gay Tony. Don't forget another crappy factor of GTA4: it lasts fucking FOREVER (and for a game with a shit load of things that are more annoying than fun, that is not a good thing).

Spoilers for InFamous 2 good ending

 

How are they gonna pull off an InFamous 3 now? With Cole and all the conduits dead, I don't really see anyway. If they revive Cole with that lightning strike at the end that's pretty lame

Good point. Plus the price went back up to $40 so that makes things easier.

I never played any star wars games before but after watching all the movies I have an urge to play some star war game suggestions?
