The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

[Guest]

Anyone think there is just TOO MUCH shit in Assassin's Creed 2.

• Feathers
• treasures
• armor
• weapons
• contracts
• random thiefs
• upgrading the town
• glyphs
• codex pages
• underground tombs
• guilds
• wanted posters
• viewpoints
• oh yeah and the main story.

There just seems to be so much crap.

I am mainly sticking to the main story but I imagine you waste a lot of time doing other shit besides the main story.

Game is 100X better than the first but wow it is almost overwhelming. Combat is till a little wonky.

You don't have to do all of that, but I ended up doing most of it while completing the storyline. The feathers and flags though, I found a map online and that was really helpful. I was able to do about 75% of those in about two hours with the map.

They took some of those things out (or they turned down the amount of items) in Brotherhood so don't worry.

Dead Space 2 is awesome, one of the best games to be released so far in 2011

• armor you'll find them all as part of the story
• weapons ditto
• contractssome were fun, but then they got a lil repetative
• random thiefsvery random, only ended up killing like 10
• upgrading the town super easy
• glyphs pretty easy to find
• codex pagesdont remeber this so i might have skipped it
• underground tombseasy to find
• guildspretty easy
• wanted postersnot really a big deal if u have the right cape
• viewpointsvery simple
• oh yeah and the main story.

I 1000 GS this game and put in about 24 hrs into it, it was very fun but the extras werent as overwhelming as they seemed at 1st. I actually wished there was more to do after I did everything, but thats what AC:Brotherhood is for...

The Dead Space franchise is pretty good. It's done a good job filling the void left by Resident Evil on the current gen platforms.

I think I'm the only person that frequents these boards that has a 3DS but if anyone else does, the 10 free NES games were released for the Ambassador Program on August 31st. I downloaded mine this morning.

You can only get those before the price drop, correct? I think I ended up picking one up the day after the price drop because when i registered it I didnt get a notice or anything about being an ambassador.

EA has ramped up the pressure on Activision. The company's chief spokesman Jeff Brown used trade site IndustryGamers to toss some abuse at Hirshberg. he said, "Welcome to the big leagues Eric. I know you're new in the job but someone should have told you this is an competitive industry.

"You've got every reason to be nervous. Last year Activision had a 90 share in the shooter category. This year, Battlefield 3 is going to take you down to 60 or 70. At that rate, you'll be out of the category in 2-3 years. If you don't believe me, go to the store and try to buy a copy of Guitar Hero or Tony Hawk."
