[General Discussion] Recent Game Purchases, or what I bought instead of fourteen new dildos this weekend

I also bought Fable: The Lost Chapters for PC, as well as Tales of Legendia.

I'm a huge fan of the Tales series, and just had to have Legendia [though I really wish Namco would go ahead and release Tales of the Abyss. :P]... As for Fable, I needed a good PC game to play on my new system. Heh.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Picked up Half-Life 2 GOTY the other day, cause I didn't have it. I only played once at a friend's place, and loved it. I know I'm a little behind the times. :P

Before that, Mario & Luigi DS, Xenosaga III... And paid for FFXII today, but of course, have to wait another month to actually get it. :/

Most amazing jew boots

Whoa, wait, there's a Limited Edition of Wind Waker? XD I had no idea. What's so special about it?

I also followed the masses and picked up my Wii and Twilight Princess last weekend. I'm totally loving it.

It's pretty good.

Oh, nice. I think I'd just pick it up for the sake of having a 'Limited Edition' though, if I saw it... Mainly because I already have another 'Collector's Disc' with OoT and Master Quest on it, heh.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I recently picked up Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings for DS, and well... I have to say I'm slightly disappointed. As PRETTY as the game is, I just can't really get into it. I've finished the first chapter, and it seems like all I'm doing is sending my characters to attack, then constantly waiting to summon new Espers when they die.

It also feels a lot like a strategy game [à la Starcraft/Warcraft], and I always sucked at those...

The other recent title I picked up is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All. I got the second one [reluctantly] as I couldn't find the first, and I've been pretty much addicted. It's great so far, and I'll probably pick up the others in the series as I come across them.

Others on the list though, are most likely Super Mario Galaxy, and Smash Bros. Brawl when it finally comes out.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I recently picked up a copy of Final Fantasy III [US] for SNES. Came with the original box, booklets, map, and all that jazz, for about $30. I'm really happy with it.

[edit] Scratch that, I just made a purchase from EB online... Went and found a 25%-off coupon for used games online, and managed to get Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dark Cloud 2, and Tales of Legendia for $56, shipped. I love the internet.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I FINALLY picked up Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations today at EB [new] for a measly $13. Very happy with my purchase. Now I just have to finish Justice for All, heh. And then get Apollo Justice. Then I'll have them all.

Picked up [finally] Persona 3: FES today. Now I just have to get into a gaming mood and start playing it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Xbox 360 get! I found a 360 Elite on Tuesday for $350, so I picked that up today, along with Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata. Also a wireless adapter thing that I can hopefully get to work with it. Didn't feel like paying $100 or whatever for the official one, so hopefully this one works.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Even though I already own the Gamecube version, Steam's 50% off weekend encouraged me to buy the PC version of Beyond Good and Evil for $5. I've never actually finished it [though I think I got pretty far], and have been wanting to play it again for quite a while.

Next up this week is Tales of Vesperia, and hopefully Braid.

How ya doing, buddy?

Fourteen new dildos: $65

...I kid. Rather, I ended up buying:

Halo 3 LE [the black metal box]: $45
Dead Rising: $20
Bioshock: $25
Assassin's Creed: $20

I think I'll be occupied for a while.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I picked up Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Infinite Undiscovery last night. I've only played BK so far, but I'm wishing I had preordered it so I could have picked up the original BK on XBLA, too.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Welp, I guess you could consider this a 'Christmas Gift', even though I paid for it myself. I had a bit of help [which is where the gift part comes in], so I'll count it anyway: I picked up a Samsung 32" HDTV [the 450-series model], and it's beautiful. :3

I also got Beautiful Katamari, but pretty much only because I don't have any of the other Katamari titles, and I love the games.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I finally caved and decided to try out Fallout 3. I actually downloaded it for PC to give it a try, and within about half an hour, I decided that I had to have it. I searched all over the city, and to my dismay, everywhere I looked was either sold out, or only had the Collector Boxset. I wanted it for 360, and I'll be damned if I was going to pay $80 for the box as opposed to $50 for the regular. I didn't want the extras, really.

As a last-ditch effort, I checked out a nearby Blockbuster... They had a used copy [though in brand-new condition] of the boxset. For $40. So I was just like. DEAL. So it's mine now. :3 Also grabbed Fable II from a friend.

Upgraded the video card too--the old Radeon x550 just wasn't cutting it anymore. So I now have a Radeon HD 4760. Picked up the new Prince of Persia to go with it, and I have to say... I'm loving this new upgrade.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Heard some awesome things about it so far... So I went and picked up [PROTOTYPE] today. Haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I'm about to tear it open and give it a go.

FELIPE NO

I picked up Dissidia: Final Fantasy yesterday, and I'm actually having a lot of fun with it.

God sometimes I love it when stores break release dates

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Also picked up Metroid Prime Trilogy yesterday. I had an unopened copy of PGR4 that I got in the 360 Messenger Kit, so I just brought it into EB and said I wanted to return it. Just said I already had a copy and received this one as a gift so I didn't have a receipt. Heeh.

At any rate, ended up getting it for $10. Couldn't gowrrong with that! really [re]enjoying Prime so far.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Finally caved and picked up a PStriple [slim] today. Also grabbed LittleBigPlanet.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Played the demo for Uncharted 2 the other day, and decided to pick up the first one as a result. I'd never played it before, but enjoy that style of game, so... yeah. Hopefully I'll pick up Uncharted 2 when it comes out next week.

Also grabbed Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, cause I'm a sucker for those types of platformers.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well. Yeah.

Finally went ahead and got some points to buy Shadow Complex. I'm REALLY enjoyng it so far. So reminds me of both Metroid and Metal Gear games... A Metroid game like this would be amazing. [Where are you, Other M?]

I'm tempted to pick up Katamari Forever and/or the new Ratchet and Clank Future, but they're fairly expensive cause they're new, and I can't quite justify it cause I just started on the first R&C:F.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That new red case for New Super Mario Bros. Wii looks BALLIN on my game shelf.

Also grabbed [ie: downloaded] Dragon Age for PC just to see if it would run, and to give it a quick test play. Looks awesome so far.

Oh, I fully intend on picking it up next payday. I just wanted to give it a quick test run before spending $70 on it. That, and I wanted to make sure my PC could actually RUN it. At this point, I'd rather play that type of game on PC than on a console.

Speaking of which, how IS the console version, control-wise?

Plenty of places to check if it runs.

As for console controls, the PC wins hands down. Definitely. The PS3 and the PC seem to be more or less on par in terms of graphics, but the Circle Box is a real step down from both. I've played it on PC and console, and although I miss the PC controls, I wouldn't recommend anyone away from the console versions. They're still smooth and very usable. Just not quite as slick as its PC counterpart.

Thanks for the info. As for that System Req Lab, I've NEVER had luck with that site. For some strange reason, nothing I've EVER tried will make it work on my PC. It's just weird. :/

Went and grabbed Assassin's Creed II for 360 today. Haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I'll definitely get to it soon.
