The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

I mentioned it earlier. THIS is why we need easy modes to games to waltz through. I wanted to beat Final Fantasy XII, stopped to fill my urge to beat Mass Effect, stopped to fill my urge to beat Borderlands, stopped to fill my urge to beat Call of Duty World at War, stopped to fill my urge to beat Dragon Age, about to stop to fill my urge to beat Demon Soul....

all within 2 months! I just can't keep up. I play about 4 hours of each game and then it goes away.

This is why you rent instead of buy games.

I liked Ghostbusters and Infamous and Ratchet & Clank but I wouldn't necessarily want to own them.

Probably should of posted this here instead of in the locker room but I'm around game 40 of my NHL franchise. I don't think I've ever made it this far in a franchise on NHL before mainly because I would get bored after the 5th game or so but NHL10's offline stuff is just money.

I honestly can't wait to see the improvements they make to it next year.

I think the furthest I've ever gone in a sports franchise (besides Madden or NCAA as those seasons are short) was I think 120 games in Tony LaRussa Baseball for the Genesis. My buddy and I were both running seasons in that game. I had like a 20+ game lead in my division so I simmed the rest of the regular season. I think I ended up going to game 7 in the World Series and won it.

I have played up to season four in Madden once. I forget what year.

I ran a 22 year Madden Franchise was back in 03 or 04. The next year did a 12 year and then the year after couldn't play madden anymore because it was bad.

I played 3 seasons in a PC madden sim league which was awesome.

Edit - Wow just checked. The league I moved to but never played in is still going to this day. The same guy that ran it back in the day is running it still to this day. Dam thats dedication.

Madden Leagues ruined the game for me. Every other type of game is boring, cant play franchise nor can i play a pointless ranked game.

Franchise boring?

I really dont see the point in playing the CPU. I always win.

Just went into a lobby in MW2 and someone didn't even have a name and someones name was Tap A for Anal and the A was the 360 A icon. Really fucked up.

LOL.

I popped in the first Jak & Daxter game the other night. I slept on that series, ly Cooper and R&C back in the day. After playing through the first R&C I loved it so much I bought all of the PS2 titles and played through all of them. As for Jak, I don't know if I can do the same. It has a weird camera system that has you pressing the right stick to the right to move the camera left, and vice versa. I've always been an inverted Y-axis guy but not inverted X axis. And there is no way to change it.

You cant judge Jak on the 1st game is what I heard ( I slept on them as well and bought all 3). But everyone says Jak 2 and 3 are much more different then the 1st because it becomes a lot darker and mature.

I think the game is really cool I just don't know if I can deal with the camera. It might be a game killer.

So I just played the Dark Void demo. Seriously, wtf is wrong with that game. Flying is a bitch, aiming while flyingis a bitch, and the have Nathan Drake voice with no Nathan Drake. WTF. The game is complete trash.
