The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

I got the game for free too...

I legitimately fell asleep while walking through the star wars city in mass effect

lol. Nice. I've never had a game put me to sleep, though I have fallen asleep playing NCAA at one in the morning before.

I played through the 1st chapter and I can't get into it at all...
It's like playing The Phantom Menace....Yawn

That's how I felt playing the demo. I couldn't get into it at all.

Mass Effect starts very slow because its introducing everything but once it kicks in, you wont stop playing it.


Metro 2033. Ive played it for a while now and its more Bioshock then Fallout 3. I thought it would be open world but its linear with you being able to look around the areas, but you basically always go the way they want you to like Bioshock.

The game play is probably exactly the same.

MW2 is twitchy, arcadey bullshit.

Yup. Albeit more realistic than Bad Company.

What's the name of that really realistic war shooter they came out with? It has like one-shot deaths and such. I don't remember if it even has online.

I do remember it being generally well received despite the fact that it is in no way arcadey.

I would disagree. BC2 is definitely arcadey but still more realistic than MW2. A lot of it has to do with the bigger, wide open environments though. Another great thing in BC2 is that, unlike in MW2 where you can continue to shoot perfectly fine, if you are getting shot in BC2 you can't aim worth shit because your body is twitching all over the place. Plus it had vehicles. I could go on and on.

I think I know the game you are talking about but can't for the life of me remember what it's called. It's the game that Maynard bought and played with his buddy. It was supposedly very realistic but the graphics were pretty weak and I think it had online issues.

Edit: Was it Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising?

That all makes sense.

I think so. Definitely not sure.

Be wary that all the jokes are terrible, mildly racist and may cause cancer.

Yeah, that's pretty old. They replayed it during their Christmas special last year as well. Funny shit though. Chris Antista cracks me up. His tweets are hilarious too.

He also has done this Duke Wellington (or something like that), the Lord of names, character before. It was when there was this article about some dumb kid in the Netherlands or somewhere who wanted to change his name to Sonic X.

Edit: Found it.

Fuck xbl. They suspended my account because my gift card ran out of money. And it wouldnt let me take it off my account. Now to get online, i have to put another credit card or buy live again. I hate microshit.

[Twigg4075]

That looked like a fucking trailer for a Resistance movie. Not a second of game play. Pointless.

I just beat Metro 2033. They game is only about 12 hours and nothing like I thought it would be. I'll review it here shortly.

I'm about two hours in, maybe three. I keep wanting to play NCAA 11 more.
