The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

FF8 is my favorite of all time. A lot of people and i mean a lot of people disagree with me but best story in my opinion.

I remember 8 being really good but I think I was too young to really get the story when I beat it. Probably should go back and replay it. That being said FF7 is the best of all time.

The only FF I had beat before starting this run at the FF series was FF7 and I loved it.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

I'm pretty sure it does not.

Did you get Payday or no?

I bought the Gears of War console and it did come with a headset.

I loved the story in 8, but the combat system really just did not click with me. I found it very tedious. Granted, this was at a point in my life where I was starting to get tired of turn based stuff in general, so maybe I'll give it another go as well at some point.

Personally, I thought FF7 turned into a mess, and is pretty overrated. But I recognize that it was a lot of people's first foray into RPGs, so I know that that opinion is not held by many.

I think the limited edition consoles still do, but the standard ones don't.

Speaking of which, have you had any issues with the controllers randomly disconnecting? Both of mine kept doing it and I couldn't figure out what the issue was. Sometimes it seemed to happen when I would squeeze the controller hard during a tense situation but it wasn't consistent. I had to exchange both of them and I thought I was in the clear. I played through basically all of SR3 without any issues but had one of them start doing it again while playing Madden and NCAA recently. It's really pissing me off.

Not a one man......think it might be your console though, if you've had both controllers replaced. Have you tried any older controllers to see if they work?

Yeah, I did. I missed your invite the other day, tried to get it, but it wouldn't let me. I've only played a few heists with the cpu, just to get a feel for the game.

Funny story in regards to the FF discussion. I was in my Freshman year at college (after getting out of the Navy) when FF8 was released and picked it up day one. I was knee deep into it when my roommate came home with a couple of girls on their way out to party for the night. One of them asked me what game it was and I told her "It's Final Fantasy 8. It just came out today." :facepalm: You could see the look on her face turn on the spot. He never let me forget that one.

It's definitely the controllers. I went on Gamefaqs shortly after getting the console at launch and there were a bunch of people complaining about the same issue.

Well, guess I got lucky with mine then. The only thing that is an issue is that the analog sticks are already worn out and off center, but thats been an issue with all of my 360 controllers.

Assassin's Creed 2, though I am pretty sure that after you play that one, you will want to play Brotherhood and Revelations. AC2 is one of my favorite games for this console generation.

From what I understand Arkham City is pretty short. I put a couple of hours into that today. AC2 will follow as soon as I am done

 

[leaffan]

Finished AC revelations on saturday finally.

Pretty decent game but a lot of the bullshit in the middle of it really dogged it down for me. The ending was pretty good.

You can finish the main story of Arkham City relatively fast, but the side missions and Riddler trophies extend the main game a while.

 

[IamMedellin]

finishing off these last riddler trophies before I sell Arkham city, God Damn 400 is time consuming...

Cant wait for Twisted Metal Tommorow, wondering if I should DL the syndicate demo on PSN or XBL, could DL for both but im wondering where It'll have more ppl playing....


oh and ugh....

 

I finally hooked up the Kinect and played Kinect Adventures. Set up was really easy. It's really easy to work up a sweat playing that shit. I wasn't that impressed with that ga....

Some of the Xbox Indie games are fun as shit.

Stealth and i played the Avatar Trivia game... i laughed my ass off most of the game.

 

[StealthShot]

Yeah I think it would be fun if we can get some people to play it online, or get a game like you don't know jack it doesn't cost that much anymore.
