The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

Out of those PC games, do you know how many I want to play? Close to zero. Most are flight sims, RTS and the like. All genres that I couldn't care less about. Impressive list if you're a hardcore PC guy though.

Also, LOL at the 360 exclusives. So sad.

The best part is that I get it free.

Guess I can start Assassin's Creed 2. I'm worried about how much it may be like the 1st one though.

It's much better. And Brotherhood is even better than 2.

I can't really make out the list...but are they leaving out games that are exclusive to PC and Xbox and not on PS3? Personally, I considered something that came out for the PC and Xbox as exclusive to both of those platforms, because the two are so radically different. The list for both seem low, even though I do know that PC games are not being made for the PS3 more often.

Here's the original for 2012 (large).

Wow, that list is crazy good news for PS3 owners. I also totally forgot that Thieves in Time was slated for this year.

It would certainly appear that developers are finally at a place where PC familiar developers are good with the PS3. This is a good thing (I feel like credit belongs to Valve -- as always).

It's also nice to see that there are quite a few new IPs coming out for PS3 (although I don't know WTF to think about the Last Guardian). The 360's list of exclusives I'm either not interested in or have never heard of.

I do still think that it's a little unfair to not include platform additions. Most people playing consoles play only consoles (see: Twigg for example, or myself to a degree since my computer is shit). But in the end, it's really not important.

I also think it's important to note that several of those PC "exclusives" are just expansions and not new games per se. And some of those I'm seriously WTF? It looks like a list of niche Japonophile games more than it does a PC games list.

Hell, some of those PC "exclusives" are total conversion mods of already existing games.

I don't know why Black Mesa Source is even listed. As far as I know, it's still vaporware. Maybe it's wishful thinking on his part.

Well, to be fair, something being "exclusive" doesn't mean it needs to be "new" (not trying to sound like a dick). But I think that I get your overall point.

Twigg I was bored waiting for the Madden servers to start working and decided to trophy hunt. None of them work. WTF?

I'll finish whatever the trophy says to do and get nothing for my efforts.

News to me. Do you have to be on a certain difficulty? Certain settings?
