The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

After watching the Giant bomb vids I bought FTL and Hotline Miami off steam. I think they were $12 combined.

Not really sure I get the appeal of Hotline Miami. It's decently fun, but there isn't much too it. Could be that I'm not very good and it's taking a lot of tries to get through each chapter and maybe it picks up. Well worth the $5 or whatever, I'll probably get close to 10 hours out of it (already have 2 or 3), but if this is one of the top 5 games of 2012 this has been a shitty year.

FTL is pretty awesome. Just started playing it last night (bought it a week ago) and I think I put in 5ish hours since then. It's insanely hard, but there are so many unique combinations and so much variety that it's not frustrating like most "hard" games. This is a game that is going to get a lot of hours. My only complaint is that it's not on my phone.

I haven't been as pissed off at a game as I was at FTL the other night in a very long time. Game is so frustrating, and I'm playing on Easy! It's definitely fun though. Kinda wish it was on my phone, now that you mention it. I'm sure I'd play it a lot more.

I still don't think it can be fairly compared to games like Borderlands 2, Mass Effect 3, Far Cry 3, XCOM...ect.

Interesting that I received an email about this story tonight...

Thought this was cool, and accurate. Don't think it's been posted here...what today's game covers would look like in 80s.

was that Vanessa Del Rio in SC V?

I don't like fighting games at all but if Soul Calibur actually had that cover I'd probably buy it.

And to think that we actually used to buy games back then solely on what the covers looked like.

90+ minutes later it is done. That soundtrack is beautiful. It IS the game's dialog

I bought the GTA Franchise Pack on Steam a few days ago and have been playing Vice City again. I think that just might be my favorite game of all time. It is as fun to me now as it was a decade ago...San Andreas is up next.

I bought The Walking Dead for PC on a whim today. I don't know when I'll get to it with my backlog though.

Was it a drunken whim? They are the best kinds of whims.
