The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

Finished ME2 again.

Now it's time to save the Galaxy... again.

At some point these assholes need to learn to stop being wussies and take care of themselves.

It's not like there's clones of Shepard out in the wild or anything... right? :shifty:

You may have said this all before but, do you have all the ME3 DLC? I REALLY want to play Citadel, but it's been so hard for me to dive back into the series. The sense of closure is hard to get over, particularly considering how much I apparently did "right" with my Shep.

Unrelated thought: I don't know why I'm surprised that I'm finding it hard to maintain a 250 gig HD on the 360 and a 400 gig HD on the PS3. I have a TB HD on the PC and I only have like, 50 gigs left. Where does all the space go?

I've played through all the DLC for 3, what was your question about it? I personally really liked the Citadel DLC. :dunno:

Oh, I didn't mean to make it seem like I didn't like the idea of it, or that the DLC is considered bad. Just all of my friends that have played ME have only really played the Prothean day 1 stuff. I have high hopes for Citadel, but like I said, my problem is playing 3 again. I had such a wonderful sense of closure (fuck the ending haters), that it makes it hard for me to get back into it.

Weirdly, I can still play ME2 no matter what (not so weird, I guess, considering it's my favorite and IMO the best of the series).
 
Yeah, 2 is pretty timeless IMO as well. But while playing it now on Insanity to try and get that platinum trophy, I've realized that not having the dodge roll is pretty damn limited. 3 really is vastly superior in terms of gameplay alone.

As far as the DLC goes, between the updated ending they put out and The Citadel DLC you really can't ask for more closure. The Citadel DLC was all about adding more closure but if you already felt like you had enough then you might be alright skipping it.

I have all the DLCs to play through for ME3 along w/ the vanilla game.

The fun part is, I've only played ME3 once or twice w/ just the "From the Ashes" DLC for the single player (bossed up on the MP DLC when everyone was still playing it).

I've never touched the Omega DLC, the Leviathan DLC OR the Citadel DLC so I have a lot to look forward to.

As for the other thought, all that memory gets eaten by small updates and system patches.

It happened to my 120 Gig PS3.
 
I'd rank the DLC's in this order by preference:
1. From Ashes (Javik is easily one of my favorite characters in the series, Protheans are fucking awesome)
2. Leviathan (Super important plot point to the story, I have no idea how this didn't make it into the full game. :smh: )
3. Citadel (The closure you can get from this DLC makes it worth every penny. They even bring back Mordin... sorta.)
4. Omega (Aria is cool, Omega from ME2 is awesome to go back to, and you get to see a female Turian.)

I forgot all about basically every system they have in place/had improved from the previous two Mass Effect games.

The dodge roll...

The improved combat and passive skills...

The returning characters...

It's almost like playing the game fresh all over again except for all the tripped flags of my previous decisions from ME1 and ME2 being flung into my face.

"Gee Shepard, you're awesome and all but all those dudes you killed w/ a giant asteroid?

TOO FAR!"

Has to do with Madden...kinda. Just saw the 220 Madden 15 team selection on YT. :holyshit:

DL'd Rogue Legacy for PS3/PS4 after getting in on the recent Cross-Buy.

After streaming PS4 runs, I got my PS3 copy up tonight...

I SUCK when I'm live online... on PS3, w/ no audience, I'm CRUSHING early.

2300 Gold, made it to the Forest areas and I'm toting double jump/air dash/coin multiplier runes...

WITH Knight armor from the Smithy.

Shit's getting real and I can't show anybody :(

Get it together man! Get over the stage fright!

I'm glad someone here is playing it and (seemingly) liking it. I know that Knubb has played it, but I don't know if he's playing it on PS4 or had it for PC. It's such a great game. I'm planning to double dip on it sometime this weekend, I just might have to pick up a DS4 before I do so.

Did about an hour in front of Knubb and Swarley on-stream.

Got stomped as per-usual.

Then, I got my hands on a shit-ton of blueprints for new armor and weapons so I can now go into the Forest areas w/o fear of too much repercussion.

*I've almost got most of the Knight Armor set finished and I just got the Blood and Knight swords tonight.

I just keep on finding my way into the Tower and Dungeon sections more often and die promptly :(

I'm learning what traits I'm gonna want/need now (O.C.D. and P.A.D. are the light and the way if you like using special abilities and DON'T want to die to Spike Traps)... so there's that.

Looking forward to more tomorrow.
 
I'm not really impressed with Dragon's Crown. I couldn't imagine spending $50 for it.
The shared trophy list is utter bullshit too.
 
Fuck EA for only allowing a maximum of 6 hours to play madden 15 before launch. 6 hours within those 5 days is fucking nothing lol.

edit: 500th post is the way to go to say FUCK EA
 
Another way to say fuck EA would be to not by Madden 15. I don't understand the complaints about the 6 hours before launch thing when literally everyone I know utilizing those 6 hours was going to buy the game regardless.

Consider it 6 more hours than you would have ever gotten in 2005.
 
6 hours isn't that huge of a deal, but when they lead everyone on and wait this long to provide full details on ea access, "5 days early" instead of "play up to 6 hours" or w.e

Eh...both statements are true. One is more likely to get more people to grab EA Access. It isn't any more grimey than most advertisements.
 
Are you allowed to purchase more hours? If so, that would certainly explain why they would limit your access to the game.
 
I dont see why it is an issue really. EA Access was touted as playing for "a limited time" so I'm not sure where the argument was... Other than people don't pay attention.

At this rate its $5 for 6 hours of play time. Compare that to 6 hours in a movie theater, yep about $50. Value is there, especially if you are going to use it across the entire EA library of titles.
