The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

[jms493]

Agreed. I can't imagine it's going to look that much better if at all. And as I've said many times, I don't think disc swapping is a "chore", but given the choice, who in their right mind would opt to go that route? I can't see how anyone wuth both consoles would want to go 360 with so many things favoring the ps3 version.
But to each his own.

Here is the difference....If the PS3 makes me install the game before it starts it will take fucking 30 mins, if the PS3 makes me download another firmware update for the 1,000,000 time I will have to wait 10-20 mins, if rockstar has a release date patch it will take me another 3-5 mins to install that shit....I'll swap discs.

this is also one of the drawbacks of the ps3. Having to install most games onto the ps3 harddrive and then the periodical software updates sony has which occur fairly often

The updates are crappy (compared to the 360 ones that take 30 seconds) to one minute but I honestly can't remember the last time one ever took more than a few minutes? Plus I have PS+ so they download automatically when my PS3 is off. I know not everyone does though.

As for installs, when is the last time you guys installed a PS3 game? I'm guessing while because again, they only take a few minutes. And if you want to play any game on your 360 and not have it sound like a jet engine, unless you have the newest model, you need to install it which takes as long as the PS3.

That's a dope feature.

Ok, well I'll let you know how awesome the ps3 version is Tuesday night after I've been playing it for 12 straight hours with better graphics (probably but not confirmed) and extra content without ever having to get off the couch once.

And before you ask, I drink a gallon of water a day so I can hold my piss that long. And I will have food at the ready.

good for you. I will take achievements over trophies any day. even though its a port im sure it will have a more stable framerate and probably even better graphics as is the case with most 3rd party titles

 

[Twigg4075]

Indeed it is.

 

[Maynard]

Indeed it is.

yeah its almost worth paying for

:jonesy:

So... playing a game that came out in 2007-2008 is still fun.

Played a little GTA IV Multiplayer with Padman after putting in the rounds on BC2...

Turns out, racing police vehicles is a recipe for awesome. :rofl:

I still have not beat the single player, but Free Roam in GTA is possibly one of the greatest inventions for video gaming yet. So much fun to be had.

I'm in the same boat as you actually, as I am trying to progress through games I got at dirt cheap prices and trying to finish them. I am currently on Red Alert 3.

 

[Maynard]

we used to play the cops vs robbers mode online. that was a blast

 

[JayDizzle]

Right now, like Tommy said, we're just trying to get more trophies out of PSN while it's back up.

The fact that you can get away with crazy shit in the game makes the process that much better.

EX: Padman was the driver for a round of "Hangman's NOOSE;" I jump in the back of the van he stole while he's trying hard as hell to get away.

He drove backwards like half a stretch of the highway we were on... :rofl:

 

[Twigg4075]

I really regret never venturing online with GTA. Well, I did once and it was just racing. At least one of the guys was cheating/glitching so I never played again.

 

[leaffan]

Good to see I can play BC2 and still rip people to shreds.

Does anyone know how Best Buy works when it comes to using RZ coupons with purchase and wanting a return? I bought a new controller from them the other day and now several sites are selling them cheaper, including the colored ones. When I bought it I used a $10 coupon. IF I return it I guess I lose out on the coupon? That would suck because I'd like to be able to use it on something else.

If you used a rewards coupon and then return something the points will go back in your bank....although I don't know how long it takes to get them back. I would imagine a while.

Ok, that's cool. I thought I remember something like that. I'm in no hurry I just thought it would be stupid to lose out on the points.

I always did free roam. Didn't care to try and do anything specific. A bunch of my friends just went into rooms and started creating carnage.

How good was Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2?
