The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

Started playing FEAR 3's co-op with a buddy, it's pretty fun.

Well, fuck you very much.

I've been playing some Fallout 3, and I have to say it's disappointing how many side quests (almost all of them) have you go through pitch black endless subway tunnels or slightly less pitch black endless factories. Maybe the first couple times I played it it still had some sort of creepy atmosphere effect that kept it from going stale, but this time it's really taking away from the experience.

At this point I can say with some confidence that I really enjoy New Vegas more than 3, especially now that it isn't broken.

I agree with liking NV better than 3. They never fixed the memory leak issue on PS3 though, and I'll end up getting the Ultimate Edition on Steam when it hits $10.

Well, fuck you very much.

You haven't even un-wrapped it yet, let me know when you wanna play

Even in a "multimedia" machine 10GBs is a lot of RAM. They better have some big fucking plans in store with that much. It will be waste otherwise.

When I'm playing BF3 on my current lower end gaming machine it generally is using around 2.5 to 3 gigs of memory. I only have 4GB.

Hell Diablo 3 was pushing 2gigs the other day when I had to do a Ctrl Alt Del to close an app running. 10gigs in even 2 years is going to be fairly standard.

Just Cause 3 coming in the near future?

Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios says that it's working on a new open-world game with publisher Square Enix.

Eurogamer reports the developer revealed that it is preparing a "ground breaking" open-world title for Square Enix, and that it is also beginning work on multiple current- and next-gen projects for release in both 2013 and 2014.

Avalanche has not officially announced Just Cause 3, although it has registered various domain names for Just Cause 4.

Just Cause 2 is an amazing game that I have neglected for far too long.

I don't know if this is related much to Dead Space 3. So I'll just post this here for now.

I got about halfway through Dead Space one enjoying it fairly well then I kind of just stopped and never went back to it. Mass Effect was the same thing and I don't know why.

College Lacrosse 2012 is out on XBox Live!! Still an absolutely terrible game, but I still bought it.

You should go back and play it, and you might want to get Dead Space 2 when it goes on sale.

That makes sense. It would be hard for any developer to make a good game based on such a terrible sport.

LOL. Leaf must be a Lax fan. Sorry to hear that bro. There's a reason why the only professional Lax league has like six teams. I also live in the heart of Lax country USA and I do not get the hype.

It has to be better than the Cricket game they are selling on Steam.

I've heard that game is horrible too.

Plus, you guys think we have it bad with Madden. Apparently the developer of the biggest Rugby game,which I think only releases every few years, released the identical game this year as they had two or three years ago rebranded with a different year on the cover.

Actually there's an indoor AND an outdoor, but yeah combined they have like 14 teams. I think it's funny you think lacrosse sucks but are a huge basketball fan, you realize they are VERY similar, right?

Eh. I already have all the Doom games on PC.

So RAGE was so much of a non-megahit that they had to resurrect that oldie?

Damn.

 

Granted it was a decent oldie

Popped in BF: Bad Company 2 a few minutes ago just to reminisce...

Shot down a chopper with a Stationary AT, blew up 5 tanks with mines and the remote launcher (the last Rocket Launcher you get), fragged some randoms and won 3 out of 4 rounds.

Even got a sent of tags and not five secs later, the guy I took them from gave me props in a IM.

Like ridin' a bike... :smug:

Except that in basketball you're trying to fit a ball into a cylinder only twice it's size, and you don't get to ust randomly hit people with a stick.

What is iD thinking? I loved Doom 3 but not enought to plunk down another $60 to play it. Why the fuck isn't it a $20 downloadable?
