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

I have recently purchased the following:

Refurbished PSTwo (Slimline) - I picked this up at a Babbages for $109 (Total, after tax). At the same time of that purchase, I also got three games:

Metal Gear Solid 3: Substance - This is the expanded version of Snake Eater and I'll get back to finishing it at some point, although I have several other games to keep me occupied.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories - Second game I bought that day, its been real fun so far and I have no complaints.

Burnout 3 - I picked this up since it was cheap and since now I have a good 2-player racing game in stock.

After that I also got a few more things (More Recently):

Final Fantasy XII - Very fun game. I got the collector's edition in the Tin Box and it looks very prestigious sitting there.

Resident Evil 4 - For PS2, and it was $21.60 after tax ($19.99), and I've had a LOT of fun with it so far. I'm not the biggest Survival Horror fan, but this game does the genre justice, and is the most PLAYABLE Resident Evil Game yet (Yay to no more tank controls).

Yes I plan to get a Wii, but that won't likely be until Christmas or after even.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I mentioned this in my journal, but I've recently gotten:

Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Mario Kart DS
Genji: Dawn of the Samurai

Also, looks like I'll be getting Advance Wars: Dual Strike soon thanks to RockgamerXIII

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I didn't even see this thread, else I would have mentioned my new
XBOX 360 AND SEVERAL GAMES (Cross-post from my journal):

• Xbox 360 Pro / Regular / Whatever-the-fuck-its-called
• Forza 2 (Included)
• Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Included)
• Ace Combat 6
• Assassin's Creed
• Assassin's Creed Mini Artbook (Free Bonus)
• Mass Effect
• Final Fantasy III
• Brain Age (For Mom)
• Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (Not Pictured)

Oh and Helloween, I would recommend picking up FFX and Dragon Quest VIII if you haven't played those. Some other good ones include: Raidatia Stories, Star Ocean 3, The Shadow Hearts Series, Etrian Odyssey (DS), and the Shining Soul/Force (Whatever its called exactly) series.

How ya doing, buddy?

I got Blue Dragon two days ago. Any other purchases have been recorded in my Journal. I just didn't feel like making an entry about it though.

How ya doing, buddy?

I played the demo on Live, so I might get this soon... but the downloading to the DS, is that the FULL Game of Retro Evolved?

I was speaking idiomatically.

This Christmas season's latest LOOT Gifts:

- Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Wii)
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
- Super Paper Mario (Wii)
- Radatia Stories (PS2)
- Phantom Dust (Xbox)

Next on my plans for purchases will include Metroid Prime 3, Xenosaga 3, Tales of The Abyss, The Classic Controller, Brawl in February, Possibly DOA4, and the 360 Naruto Game (It looks fun, but too pricey for an Anime game). This of course can change wildly at any time. OH and Skies of Arcadia since Miles' post just reminded me.
ME: HELLO AMAZON, I AM HERE TO BUY RAPE THINGS FROM YOU

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Dude, do you know how PISSED I was when my copy of ZoE2 went missing, and I had to buy another copy? VERY.

GO BUY IT. NAO. GET TO DAH CHOPPA.

FELIPE NO

Awesome! I will be going to Gamestop tomorrow as well, but for different reasons. Yes the gamestop I frequent usually have PS2 Games used up the ASS, plus a lot of Xbox Games. the GC Selection is smaller, but hopefully I'll find something.

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

Why am I not joking.

Actually that's another game I forgot to mention in my previous post. I bought Zone of the Enders 2: Special Edition off someone in the UK. It was $50, which is fantastic, considering its rarity. The case and manual are in perfect condition, and the game is flawless (oh, I was talking about the disc, but either way works.)

Okay I have to ask. What do you do for a living? I mean buying a console at the end of the year for a Christmas Present (As I and others have done) is one thing, but you seem to have an endless supply of rare and PAL / J-NTSC Copies of games I never even considered about getting. It just boggles the mind.

... but hey if you wanna collect em' all, go for it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It is! Some channels feature sports games, others have gripping mysteries, there's comedy platformers, and even some sci-fi RPGs.

C-SPAN even adds that educational niche market.

For the serious half of this post, I mentioned in my journal, but I'll say it here too: I picked up Super Smash Bros Melee [GC] and Crackdown [Xbox 360] both on the cheap, as well as a Classic Controller [Wii].

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As reposted from my journal entry, I picked up the following.

• Jet Set Radio Future [Xbox]
• Xenosaga Episode III [PS2]
• Killer 7 [PS2]
• Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. [Wii]

... but APPARENTLY, there's something wrong with getting Killer 7 on the PS2. Why? Well no answers yet, but perhaps tomorrow, or after I make this reply.

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

Hmm, I wonder if I can find the GC version somewhere then...

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

Since I got it used, and its been less then 7 days. I can return it to Gamestop with no issues.

Most amazing jew boots

Can't remember what I put for last time, but I have gotten the following recently:

- Lost Odyssey
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Probably won't get anything else till late April (Force Unleashed, GTAIV, Persona 3: FES) / Early May

How ya doing, buddy?

So, since I put all of my game purchases in my journal, this will seem like a lot, but its spaced over a long period of time:

• Ninja Gaiden II [360]
• Grand Theft Auto IV [360]
• Tales of the Abyss [PS2]
• Katamari Damacy [PS2]
• Odin Sphere [PS2]
• Persona 3: FES [PS2]
• Skies of Arcadia [GC]
• Beyond Good and Evil [GC]
• Evolution: Worlds [GC]
• Super Smash Bros Brawl [Wii]
• Mario Kart Wii [Wii]
• Okami [Wii]
• Ratchet & Clank [PSP]
• Luminess II [PSP]
• Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles [PSP]
• Darkstalkers: The Chaos Tower [PSP]

Probably forgot a few, but oh well.

Leknaat, let me know how Rouge goes ok? I've been eyeing it for a while but I didn't like how it refused to drop in price.

FELIPE NO

Not much to mention here, but I picked up Etrian Odyssey II last week and the game's been fun. I never was a fan of Dungeon crawlers, but I guess this is the exception to that, (along with Vagrant Story).

How ya doing, buddy?

Haven't posted in this thread in a while, seeing as how my journal functions as the same thing, but might as well get it noted down here too.

I got from another GFF member the following games: Brave Fencer Musashi, Threads of Fate, Thunder Force V, Strider 2 for Playstation games. For other systems, I also bought Burnout Revenge for the 360, Resident Evil Zero for the GC, Picross DS and Wipeout Pure. Thanks to SailorDaravon for selling me all of those =)

Before that, I had also recently gotten last month Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard.

KnightofNee: Front Mission 3 is pretty fun, I had it at one point (Not sure what became of it >_> ), and I'm going to try and get into BFM as well at some point soon.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Recently got Final Fantasy X, Front Mission 4, and Star Ocean 3 on the cheap thanks to a coupon I had.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Got Left 4 Dead as a post-Christmas gift from a very generous friend a week ago, so I've been checking that out.

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

I was gifted recently with Star Ocean: Second Evolution which was awesome. However, today I went up to the mall and got a couple things:

Super Mario Sunshine (GC) - Mostly because it was on sale for 10 bucks.

Dead Rising (360) - L4D has salivated my desire to slay zombies, so this was aquired as well.

12 13 Month LIVE Card (360) - Only got this because it was on sale for $30 at Best Buy ($32~ after Tax).

I also might get one or two games on Live Arcade / Wii Virtual console, but nothing has been decided yet.

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

BlazBlue arrived yesterday evening, got a chance to check it out this morning. Pretty fun title so far.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Thought I mentioned it but guess not. Got Shadow Complex on Xbox Live a few days ago.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Forgot to post in here recently: Picked up Brütal Legend and World of Goo.

In addition, I got for free (thanks to a short-lived coupon code at PCGameStore GameStore : Home) the games Zombie Shooter and The Longest Journey

Oh fuck you Deni, it was a legal purchase.

FELIPE NO

Picked up Star Trek on amazon via a trade-in credit, its shipping right now so waiting on it to arrive in the mail.

Also, Like Qwarky above, I got a few things from the Steam 5-day sale:

Lucidity
Torchlight
THQ Complete Pack

How ya doing, buddy?

So while its fairly obvious, I feel I should point out that I got Mass Effect 2, the Collector's Edition... just waiting on it to arrive in the mail.

Speaking of purchases: Psychonauts is currently TWO dollars on Steam. You'd pay more for lunch at Subway people, I mean come on. Hurry while the price lasts.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
