TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Pretty sure it cost me £25 since I only got an email asking me not to use my voucher code - they don't seem to have actually invalidated it. Fingers crossed! If it goes through I have another code they sent me and asked me not to use. I've already spent the £20 physical voucher they sent me so I'm making out like a bandit just for them cancelling an order I made. Still, even without the code it's £30 and the game's £45 in most places, so it won't be the end of the world if it doesn't go through.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Where'd you get it from? Why are they asking you not to use the vouchers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I ordered a CD from Sainsbury's Entertainment (they're the online media site of a big supermarket chain in the UK) on 5 Dec. They sent me a few emails saying the order was delayed and with a couple of them they sent codes for £5 to apologise for the inconvenience in case it was a Christmas present. They ended up cancelling the order on the 20th and said they were posting me out a £20 gift card to use in store to replace the codes they'd emailed. Obviously they never charged me for the CD they cancelled, so if the codes work out I've made £30 from nothing, at the very minimum I've got the £20 I've already spent. Oh, and just to be clear it's the game, not the pad I just ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I had $28 in old Gamestop giftcards and I was around... so impulse purchase. Thus another non-PC game added to my backlog. Rare thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 It was $2.50 on Amazon, and while I'd played it I'd never actually paid for it, so I figured I might as well now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Oh man Neptunia... I literally fell asleep playing it and managed to pretty much grind/complete about 30% of the game. It's really :/ However the sequels were marginally better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Seems a tad overpriced (was hoping for 10$, though the current 25% off certainly helps), but I was too curious not to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Let me know how it is. Duke's been talking about it on Steam, so I'm slightly curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Let me know how it is. Duke's been talking about it on Steam, so I'm slightly curious. I've only been able to play something like two hours but so far I'm really loving it. It's kinda hard to describe without getting too specific and I think it's best to go in blind on this one. It's very weird and unique but in a way that's consistent. It forces you to think in ways games rarely do but it never breaks its own logic, so it doesn't feel forced or weird just for the sake of being a mindfuck and the things you learn about the game's logic usually come back into play later. It doesn't do a lot of handholding, either. There are vague hints all over the place but early on you can reach an area and not realize you can't progress because you can't yet understand what's blocking your way and why. The game is also semi-free roam. The actual level design is fairly linear but there are multiple paths you can explore. Kinda feels like a metroidvania game now that I think about it. Backtracking isn't an issue, though, because there's a main room you can go back to anytime and from which you can return to any area you've already discovered. That can lead to a lot of aimless wandering if you get stuck and can't figure out where you should go next, though. So if you have little patience for puzzle games, keep that in mind.
