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

During GFF's downtime, I got Sims 2 Open For Business. Before that, I got BF2: Special Forces. Granted, none of them are base games, so I guess you can say the most recent game I got is Silkroad Online, which is free and downloadable. I just got it today.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Erm, I haven't played enough of it yet to form an opinion. I'll get back to you on that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

@T1249NTSCJ

It looks like your post disappeared from this thread for reasons unknown, but I did play Sims 2 Open for Business for longer yesterday and today, so now I am able to form a better opinion of the expansion.

I think it's pretty cool. Starting your own business has a kinda tough learning curve, but once you get into the swing of things, it's great. If your neighbourhood has lots of kids, I'd highly recommend this, as you can now make lots of new toys with the crafting workshop. The base game had a pathetic amount of stuff for kids to do, and it irked me somewhat. Now they can play with pet bricks, sell lemonade, have more interactions with adults, fly kites, play with clown-in-boxes, and more.

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

I played a bit more yesterday. The new toys you can make are so cool (be sure to check out the clown-in-the-box for some hilarious stuff :D), and kids can now show off to adults, like cartwheels. It's so bloody cute!

Oh, and no, it still doesn't live up to Nightlife. Gawd, I can't live without that expansion pack. I still haven't gotten University. The whole school thing bugs me, especially when I don't have many teenagers in my neighbourhood. I sure want that pool table though >_>

I hope that a Pet one comes out soon. I want a dog and a ferret, dammit!

Thanks for your input by the way Freelance Wolf.

You're welcome :3

Erm, I haven't gotten the game yet, but I'm going be get Rampage: Total Destruction shortly. I spent DAYS playing the NES version, and I haven't played a single other Rampage game untl I just discovered that another one is coming over to the GCN and PS2 for the very low price of $19.99 US. With 30 playable monsters and other features, I'm going to have lots of fun with this. It aso includes the original Arcade version AND World Tour too, and all reviews I've read of the game so far said they've been emulated perfectly. What a bargain! It's coming out April 24th.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I purchased several games just recently, after discovering a store downtown that was selling games for cheap. It's very rare that I see stores selling games for less than 10 dollars, so I took the opportunity to snag as much as I could over the course of a few days. I got Nox, Civilization III and Wheel of Fortune for $4.99 each, and Deus Ex 2 for $9.99. I haven't played Deus Ex 2 yet, but Civ III is currently sucking up all of free time.

I can't get anymore games for the time being. I'm saving up money for something cool.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

As it turns out, I got a hold of some new games today. They were given to me by someone who shall not be named, which includes Rampage: Total Destruction and Paper Mario 2. The person also loaned me Star Fox Assault. Rampage is fun, but Assault is crap. It really is as bad as people say it is. I haven't playd Paper Mario 2 yet.

FELIPE NO

Damn, I gotta stop going to that store selling games for cheap. I picked up Beyond Good and Evil today for $4.99 'cause I heard lots of stuff about it. I may get No One Lives Forever 2 next for $14.99.

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

OK this will be my last game in a while, but I did get No One Lives Forever 2 yesterday. That place is chewing up all my money, hahaa. I tried out the coop mode today and it's pretty fun, although nothing beats BF2 in my book.

That sounds just like me. Wanna play with fellow GFFers every Friday night EST?

Update: I forgot to put in the link to the thread! Here it is.

Oh oh, I forgot to tell you about my last purchase. I snagged Star Fox Command at Wal-Mart on a 1-day sale price. Whooo!

The game itself is awkward at first, but it's all second nature now. It's a lot better than what most people say about it, so you can't always trust reviews.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue. The quiz thing at the beginning is a total pain in the ass. I got it 'cause Star kept talking about it nonstop. He's already saved me twice >_> I suck.

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

Was gonna get either Totodile or Charmander. I got Totodile on the 4th try, and chose Charmander for my partner.

I walked to the mall and picked up Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team for the GBA yesterday. An EB Games opened up there just recently.

Oh, and before you say anything, the game wasn't for me, but for my little sister. I already have the DS version, and am quite infatuated with it.

For some bizarre reason, the GBA game is more expensive than the DS game. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

How ya doing, buddy?

Haha, sounds exactly like me. I've been playing Mystery Dungeon DS a lot. It's just too much fun. Addictive games should be banned XD

FELIPE NO

Don't buy Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, I implore you! It will get you hooked, line and sinker.

If you value your social life, do not get it!

OMG someone bought it! I got the PC version for cheap and it's insanely fun, but unless you absolutely love repetitiveness, like me, you probably won't be liking it in the long run. At least, that's what other people say. They made some things simplier in the console versions.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My last three purchases were FFXII CE, Clubhouse Games and Digimon World DS. Out of those three, I played the first and last game the most. Very fun :D

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My last recent games I've purchased since Digimon World DS are FF III, Naruto Council 2 (I had a gift certificate and there's no other game cheap enough), and Jump Ultimate Superstars.

FFIII is cool, but hard. Naruto was short and easy, but fun. Dragon Ball: AA is a better game though. JUS is cool, and I haven't unlocked anything yet.

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

Forgot to update since my last post, man.

I got Castlevania: PoR as a special Christmas present for myself, since I'm only getting one present this year. I'm currently at the part where you fight Death. Great game so far.

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

It's been a long time since I came here. I can't even remember if I mentioned getting Jump Ultimate Stars. Got it for Christmas, and as far as I can see, it has the best handheld multiplayer. Great stuff.

Fast forward to Feb 6th. I snagged FFVIa. I've heard too many stupid (and not worth complaining about) complaints about the game from fanboy purists, and not surprisingly, they're at GameFAQs. Luckily, the GFFers know a good game when they see one. It rocks.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't think this counts since it's not actually for me, but I got Xenosaga III for my little sister's birthday.

As for myself, I haven't gotten anything since my last post, but my next purchase will be an expansion pack, Sims 2: Seasons.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ah...I forgot to mention the new games I've purchased since Black and White 2. Well that can be arranged.

Daxter doesn't count 'cause it was free, but I purchased Pinball Hall of Fame and SEGA Genesis Collection (both for the PSP) just last week, and I've been playing Phantasy Star IV ever since XD

FELIPE NO

Oh yes they are! I'm glad I purchased them, although I've come to release that some of these old games featured poor control and hit detection. I played Alex the Kidd and boy was that a painful experience!

I just wished the PSP version came with Zaxxon...

My sister, who was unusually nice and kind, gave me some cash and told me to buy some PSP games. She didn't give me much cash, so I went to HMV downtown because they sell some cheapo games in a bin. Low and behold, I could buy two games, wheee...

I picked up Astonishia Story, and Rapala Trophies. Reviewers gave AS crappy scores and I can see why. All the enemies right at the beginning of the game are much stronger than you, and there are at least 3 to 4 of them and only 1 of you. Oh well, it's nothing a little power levelling won't fix. The sprites are quite nice and detailed though. It reminds me of FFVI's sprite animations. The dialogue is funny sometimes too, like the guy with the healing fist. It also pokes fun at the modern world, like the large headed man pestering the hero to provide a password in his fight against piracy and a waiter stating how nobody ever goes to the bar for a drink anymore because of the internet and other online services. Some design issues are really weird though. It doesn't explain why, for example, the hero suddenly decides to remove all his armour and leaves them there. I don't know why either!

I haven't played the other game yet. I normally wouldn't touch a fishing game, but this one looks pretty neat and seems to be quite varied, with over 100 locales and bait and crap. Plus, I'd like to play something nice and relaxing, so a fishing game would be right up my alley. Who knows, it could be addicting. Take a look at Harvest Moon!

Update: I played the fishing game, and it's cool! I caught 2 20 inch rainbow trout!
