The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

[Swarley]

So after finishing Alpha Protocol, I can't decide what to play next. I have two weeks before Tomb Raider: DE comes home with me. I'm really wanting to jump into Dragon Age Origins, but two weeks just isn't a big enough window, so I'm going to save that. I'm leaning towards getting into Metro: Last Light. I'm also thinking about getting back into and finally finishing LEGO Marvel or make another dent in Diablo III.

Downloaded the new Devil May Cry for free from ps+ and I'm really digging it. :yep:

Really really enjoyed that game Maynard. Played through without mods but would love to play with some good ones. Keep me posted with how and why the synergy one is a good one.

What class?

Beat "Gone Home"

Also sounds like quite the ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Played some more Assassin's Creed IV.

I'm digging that I'm basically either going to have to mosquito bite this game to death if I ever plan on finishing it or just sit down and bull through.

I also keep forgetting that I can leave the Animus when I want and skulk around the in-game office to hunt down post-its and computers to hack... not that that's better than being a pirate or sailing on a giant boat but it's a welcome change of pace.

Also, streaming myself going John Rambo on a bunch of English privateers to a handful of people on Twitch was fun...

360 No-Scope Sleep Darts FTW. :tiptoe:

I hope it's more of an arcadey game so it's unique from The Show. Not as arcadey as that MLB Slugfest or whatever it was (even though those games were fun), but something a bit more approachable to and easier to pick up and play.

The BIGS was legit :jack:

So I tried to play "The Stanley Parable" and didn't really dig it. I definitely see how some people can get down with it's weird story with a billion endings, and it's extremely creative but for me... not so much

ask maynard what he thinks of the game :wink:

 

[Maynard]

that game is fucking retarded. you could have watched the video and seen every ending in less than a half hour. you would have still walked away feeling as retarded as ramjackson, but at least you would have saved yourself the money.

so here is the mod setup i am using. it really changes the game to the point where is much harder and the level design is way more lengthy.

I have
Enhanced Retex part 1
Enhanced Retex part 2
adds to the visual look of the game. really enhances things

Spellvendor - this adds the spells you would normally find as loot to the vendors so you can buy them

Ember Gem upgrade - allows you to merge 4 gems into a higher level gem

Blank Landmarks and Extra Chunky - these 2 mods extend the maps. You see new sections added every where. between the 2 you have about 60 new sections in the game. I found a 3 phase puzzle section last night. you get a good reward for completing these puzzle areas.

Then the Synergies mod. along with Synergies i have 3 small add ons for synergies.
Skill unlocks
Highloot - self explainitory
Lowspawn
Synergiesmod

Synergies is the meat n potatoes. its what makes the game harder and adds to the depth of the game

along with it comes a lot of spawned monsters. a little to much for me. So i added the Lowspawn mod
Skill Unlocks completely alter the level you have to be to use the powers in the skills trees. what makes this awesome is it allow you to unlock the powers earlier, but makes leveling them up take alot longer. it really makes you think more about where you are investing your points.

A little past halfway in new Devil May Cry and I gotta say I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I have been. I never played any of the originals so the changes during the reboot don't really bother me. I like the story of it quite a bit and I can't wait to see how it'll end.

Also have Walking Dead copied onto my Vita now and it's ready to be dove into. Really wish it would've been the console one but at least I have another reason to boot up the ol' Vita again since beating Persona 4.

Do saves from season 1 carry over into season 2 or is it the same at the beginning for everyone? Wondering about this since it seems like a game that can branch off in so many ways. Stoked to start it up and see what the hype was about.

So I decided to play Fallout 3 for the first ever. Lets see how this goes.

 

[JimLeavy59]

Played Madden 25, so Manning throws the ball forward and yet it goes 40yards backwards and its a safety. And earlier in the game I sacked Manning in the endzone and thats not a safety. Fuck EA Sports.

thats gotta look old and dated. fantastic when it came out. top 5 for sure.

Finished the 1st episode of Walking Dead on my vita. Holy shit. If I didn't work the rest of the day I'd have a hard time prying myself away from it and not finishing it all tonight. It's too bad season 2 has no vita release date yet.

It'll search for a Season 1 save if you got one.
