The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

I'm not sure what you mean KG. Do you mean you forgot where you left off in the story? I can relate to that. It happened with me with Mass Effect TWICE. I was between jobs at the time so had a lot more of an opportunity to go out. One night I got drunk, came home, and played for like 5 hours. I couldn't remember ANYTHING that I had done when I woke up the next morning and had saved over my old saves like a drunken idiot.

I basically had to start over. Then the same thing happened a 2 weeks later. My video game systems need a breathalyzer or something.

I'm still at level 48 for Borderlands. It was a great game, but the replay value of it is drastically dropping for me. I just don't have much interest in replaying the regular story, which was ass, and the Moxxi DLC is fun but isn't really renewing my interest in the game like I had hoped it would.

Well I just have a slew of side quests and I haven't a clue how to deal with them. For example there's one side quest where I deliver a letter to 3 people in 3 different places......I remember doing one person but the quest log doesn't tell me which. So there's a quest I'm totally lost on as an example.

As I started to progress the story, other moments and characters are referenced and I'm stuck trying to remember who they are.


It was a bit hard to get back into as well, cause it's like watching half a movie, stopping it for a month and then turning it back on. Not gonna remember all the plotlines! (Had a 3 week vacation, then took 2 weeks to play a bunch of other titles and then xmas business.......it was like 6 weeks since I was playing this!)

Is Assassins Creed II better than the first? I really enjoyed the first one...for about 5 of the missions. Then saving innocent people, doing an "investigation" in a different city (or part of a city) got pretty boring. Never finished it, just got bored doing the same thing.

AC2 is miles ahead of AC1. They realized what was wrong with AC1 and fixed pretty much everything and then added some more awesome.

It's better than AC1 in every conceivable way. Practically every beef that I had with AC1 was fixed in AC2. Could not recommend it more highly Sven.

no way man....i get frustrated enough playing online. not to mention the SP is intense. i did it on regular. Looking for the intel on the easiest level.

i did spec ops on vet though. i havnt completed all of them, but i plan to

It really isnt that hard...I suck at FPS and I did it in about 5-6 hours.

That's good to hear SethMode. I was with Sven, AC1 got so stinking repetitive. Every mission felt the same. But I still played through it for some reason.

I agree. I fought through it despite its repetitive nature. This game I honestly could not stop playing. It pulled me in right away and I loved every second of it. A+ game, but does move quick and has little replay value in my opinion, so would be a better rental (I did everything for it in a week and ended up reselling it).

It feels bad beating the hell out of Umaga in Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 considering he's dead and all.

I'm having a hard time finding something to play until Mass Effect 2 comes out. Dragon Age and KOTOR will take too long, and I am sick of all my other games =/

it comes out soon though right?

[A Tasty Burgerr]

it comes out soon though right?

Yeah, like 2 1//2 weeks, which is why I don't want to get into a long as hell RPG. I need a solid action game (neither Darksiders or Bayonette are appealing to me)

I just traded an old 360 controller for GTA IV liberty city stories.....

[hoodyallen]

Any 360 suggestions? I was going to rent Darksiders today, but blockbuster was sold out. I could buy it but the trailer I saw on TV for it was really underwhelming. I didn't love Assasins Creed, so I'm not sure if I'll like AC2. Just not a big fan of stealth. Borderlands is also an option. MW2 is the only game I've gotten since September.

Hoody you going to friend request me so we can MW2 some my nigga
