TheMightyEthan Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I want a game like Catherine, but made by a Western company so it's less insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I need to pick up Last Specter but I haven't seen it in any stores around me. I hope that Layton isn't losing its appeal. It's a great series and I can't wait to play the 3DS game if/when it's released. As an FYI, the British and US releases have different dubs. Yeah funnily enough, it seems to be only Luke's voice actor that is different! Layton's is the same, but the American actress they hired for Luke in the US dub is clearly trying to mimic a British accent. Plus the UK actress actually sounds like a proper child. But I'm getting ahead of myself......just preordered.......on amazon......even though I haven't finished Xenoblade yet (75 hours in!)...... The Last Story Collector's edition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Resistance 3 showed up in the mail today! Outside of Fallout 3 (which doesn't count) I don't think I've played a FPS since Perfect Dark... besides about 5 minutes of COD4. The Vita store has finally updated, downloaded Escape Plan and Rayman Origins. I was going to pick up Lumines Electric Symphony but I've never played a Lumines game before, so I downloaded the game as the 35 dollar price tag looks a little steep, we'll see how I like it.

Battra92 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 The Last Story Collector's edition Wow, that's effing GORGEOUS! Not gorgeous enough for me to pay 41GBP (or $65USD) for it but still ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope V2 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 $65 actually seems not bad for that considering people want $150 for a light up helghast helmet. I really hope they bring that to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Cool. Wonder how many of us are on PS3. Cowboy_Poet already brought up the idea of playing co-op. Would be cool if we could get a whole squad together. I think the co-op is 4-players? Interested, Strangelove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Was bored earlier and after hearing great things about it the past couple of days, I decided to give it a shot.

Battra92 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Bought both on eBay cheap but not as cheap as I could have at Gamestop but I like having games with covers. I need to hook up the wife's PS2 in my office when they come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Oh fuck yes! I've waited a long time for this! Now to finish my homework that's due in tomorrow while it downloads... edit: oh, and this arrived this morning I've never really been into MMOs and actually tried WoW when it had a 14 days trial (it was also pre-Cataclysm). Was bored to tears with it and only played for about an hour before uninstalling it. For some reason, I decided to give it another shot a few days ago now that it's basically free-to-play until level 20. First few levels were as boring and tedious as I remembered them to be, but once I left the starting area and actually started exploring the world and cities, I was suddenly having a lot of fun. It basically felt like an Elder Scrolls game world, but insanely larger and with other people in it, which is actually pretty cool. So I figured I'd get vanilla WoW and see how it goes. Knowing myself, it's possible I'll just get tired of the game before my free month runs out. Now the question is do I register my key and upgrade my account right away, or do I keep playing the Starter Edition until I hit the level cap. The cap is at 20 and I'm about halfway there, so I can't imagine it's going to take me long either way. But I think a lot of stuff is restricted right now, like chat and whatnot.

TheMightyEthan Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah, that's what I'd do too. That way if you get bored before then you can sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorrrr Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Definitely excited for this one. Don't get me wrong, great game, but I mean... That price? Really? It came out YEARS ago, and as far as I'm aware they've not added anything new. Really should have been cheaper, at least in my opinion. Still a very good game and I hope you enjoy it!

So I'm intrigued by Connorrs comment of "That price?". So I check Steam and You could buy a new game for that much. Probably does explain their recent comments of being fine with it being pirated. It's like a tenner now on 360. £15 would have been a good price for an old game. Then again it was originally published by MS and they may have given Remedy some funny ideas on how to price older games on Steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Grabbed this for $5 for download on Amazon. Activates on Steam. US only it appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hmm, actually as I finished typing this post I realized that perhaps the conversion to pounds makes it more expensive for Dean) It only came out 2 years ago. I mean, I sure as hell wouldn't have paid 50 bucks for it out of principle, but this is a perfectly reasonable pricepoint considering it just came out, imo. As far as I'm concerned (i.e. as someone who does not own a 360) it's a new release, and a AAA one at that. Plus, they actually put some efforts into making a proper PC version, so I'd say they deserve the support if only for that. I'll admit the graphics sometimes look a bit dated, but that's mostly been apparent in cutscenes so far.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Bought Killing Floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 It's £26 over here which is ~$41 ($30=£19). As a comparison I picked up Witcher 2, new, for £25. Alumar and Jagged Aliance are £30 each too. Alan Wake currently has a going price of £10 on consoles, so it's quite a mark up in price for the porting. I guess one man's two year old port is another man's new release and folks are fine to pay whatever they want, but I was a bit shocked to see the price as high as it was. Yes there's room to be higher still, and Iv'e a feeling for some it'd be a fine price if it was to be £35. But for a two year old game asking almost as much as for games that are only two weeks old is a bit of a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well you could have got it from Greenmangaming for 33% off so if you're in the UK it works out to approx 16.66£ (this was yesterday though unfortanately) or $20 and it's a steam registrable game. Had people gone that route it's reasonable even for here. BTW it's amalur, AMALUR dammit. Not Alumar . Everyone's making that mistake XD. It's like the rouge-rogue thing. I've spent about 25 hours on that game already and need more time to play it. Meh so sucks that I've not had so much free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Oh yeah I did buy a few games... BeMine Bundle Indie Royale Valentine's Day Kingdoms of Amalur Neverdead Malicious etc. I'll post next week after the vita and such purchases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well I'm definitely not buying Alan Wake now. Not because $30 is too much, but because it's too much for a DD game, and apparently no retailer is carrying the physical copy for PC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
