The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

Diivox, Binding of Isaac is great. Hard as shit, but great.

Snagged the DLC for it too. Haven't gotten around to loading it up, although my non gamer woman showed somewhat of a passing interest in it so its definitely what i'll just happen to be playing when I see her this weekend. Deus Ex Human Revolution is the pick of my litter so far, game is fucking incredible.

Tis a very good game. Did you get the DLC for that too? The DLC is great.

Man I thought Journey was weird...Flower is even stranger. Plus they make you utilize motion controls....ugh

You're old Officer Slappy. He's referring to the DLC for Binding of Isaac.

Yeah, I heard the Missing Link DLC was a major thing and not just a cash grab (Sup Saints Row The Third, guess gouging us all on that DLC didn't save the company). Feel bad for all the people who bought the game brand new for 50 bucks all of year and a half ago and I snagged it on the steam sale, all 3 games, for 10 bucks...

on the topic of Deus Ex, I hadn't heard about this until now:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/15/sinister-director-to-helm-deus-ex-human-revolution

this could really be the best game to movie ever, the source material is perfect and the near future setting makes it really plausible (google the term "grinders" : people are augmenting themselves already, if only in its most nascent forms, but still, the future is now when it comes to these subjects).

I got AC3 for Christmas and have just started playing it, I enjoyed the beginning a lot but it has kind of fallen into a drag now, hoping the teenage Connor stuff doesn't last too long. I do like the change of scenery and time period, though, more familiar with the history of this location than I was with the Italy setting.

Are you referring to Saints Row games? Because I feel that the amount of entertainment I got out of them was worth at least double that amount.

 

[Maynard]

why is it that every review or comment that surrounds the game journey is nothing but...its beautiful?

goty for some sites and thats all they say

and how the fuck does an indie arcade game win goty? thats like giving a punter the MVP

 

[JBregz]

Yeah, the game looks pretty fucking gay to me too lol

Don't hear me wrong. Saints Row the Third was definitely one of the top 20 games i've ever played, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Just felt like they milked the DLC. alot of crap that really didn't need to be bought. I picked up most of it anyway because I loved the game that much - in fact, thanks VSN, I bought it when it went on sale with no knowledge of what I was buying mostly because I remember everyone here saying how great it was. I was referring to the fact that the DLC in Deus Ex is practically crucial to understanding the story. wasn't some skin pack I bought because I was amused by the comic book character on the radio. I don't really appreciate when game companies milk my loyalty to a particular title, or my semi egotistical desire to say I bought all the DLC / complete my Steam library. I'd rather 1 or 2 pieces of DLC that I don't regret buying that are superbly done, than what Saints Row did

Yeah I am not sure how u can give it GOTY either IMO.

 

[Twigg4075]

I can definitely see it getting GotY. It was on of the most amazing gaming experiences I've had in gaming ever, let alone 2012. It's not my GotY but it's up there.

And I don't understand why you consider to be labor the point of price and how that somehow directly results in quality of a game Maynard. I don't care if a game is $5 or $60. If it's an amazing game it's an amazing game. Period.

 

[jms493]

I didn't find it THAT amazing IMO. I mean at first I had no idea what the fuck I was doing then I figured it out....most of the time I was just sliding around or jumping here and there and the last level was just pushing up with the occasional obstacle.

I am not a very smart man but I had no idea what the story of the game was. Also was it even 2 hours long...seemed less.

I think everyone should try it as it is an "Experience" but there isn't much to it gameplay wise.

It sounds like you didn't get what they were going for it all.

It also didn't hurt that it's one of the most incredible looking games ever made too.
