TCP Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Got the latest AssCreed game while it was 40% off on Steam because I am weak. Just play as Evie whenever you can and it'll be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I was kinda tempted but even at 40% off it's still almost 50 bucks over here. Fuck off with that shit, Ubi. I just bought Rogue and Unity, anyway, and still haven't played Black Flag. Being a few years behind on this series is actually kind of awesome. Also, it's kind of hilarious to see them giving it such a deep discount on Steam like 2 weeks after the PC launch. Looking at SteamSpy, it looks like it only sold about 40K units on Steam. That franchise fatigue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Franchise fatigue + releasing weeks late on PC is a bad mix. Why would you release your open world PC game AFTER Fallout 4? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Sales were down on all platforms, though, weren't they? I'd like to think that Unity's horrendous state at launch also had something to do with it. Gamers tend to be stupid and quick to forget, but that was one monumental fuck up on Ubisoft's part.

TCP Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yeah IIRC week 1 sales were very low for Syndicate but week 2 were pretty strong, probably due to good word of mouth. Not surprising, people were pretty burned by Unity. Hopefully Ubisoft learned they can't just release broken games lolol what am I saying.

TCP Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I bought the PS4 version of Final Fantasy VII. And goddamn! It's sharp, looks like how you remember PS1 games looking, not like how PS1 games actually look ...if that makes any sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) You may recall that I raved about this game a long while back. Well, that was the first edition, which is brilliant (and also no longer available, nor seeing a reprint). This is a more streamlined, accessible version that aims to capture the thrill and paranoia of the original. Since it's tough to bring out the original on regular occasions, and I have an additional, less-experienced board gaming group now, this version seems a wise choice. No longer do you have to spend ages going over the rules each and every time, struggling to remember all the special cases yourself as well. Set up looks quicker, with fewer tokens and cards, while it sounds like it's quicker-playing and retains the same atmosphere and tactical elements.

Mr. GOH! Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Just Cause 3 for full price because I was drunk and forgot to add the right GMG coupon code for 20% off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Couldn't resist. I love ASW's fighting games and the price was pretty reasonable, especially after the launch week discount. Also won this from a giveaway on NeoGAF Oh and the guy that made Hexcells has a new puzzle game out It's pretty good. Like a cross between Hexcells and Picross (or so I heard, I have no idea what Picross is). edit: Alright, now I need to stop buying shit until the christmas sale...

deanb Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Picked up that Destiny: Taken King dealy-o since it's 55% off on PSN at the moment (EU PSN at least). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Don't kink shame me. Seriously though, got a good deal on it (£220 new) and I knew I'd crumble sooner or later may as well be now as I'm sick of looking at them. Surprised I got it before the ps4 which is the one I want more but there are no bundles with that that grab me since I missed the 1tb watch dogs+syndicate one.of Course I don't want to actually set it up until my broadband is working so I've got a frustrating wait ahead of me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I've changed my mind, yeah you'll find Fallout 4 hard to comprehend and follow if you've not played the others. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 So, the idea of getting a 3DS has been floating in my head on and off all year. And, now that they finally announced that Dragon Quest VII and VIII are getting localized, of course it's back in full force. I was looking at prices on Amazon and spotted this for 30 bucks brand new. Finding an Atlus Limited Edition a year after release isn't that unusual but they're usually grossly overpriced. This one was actually cheaper than the regular edition. I figured it had to be a pricing error, so I ordered one expecting it to be cancelled. A week later, my card's been charged and there's a shipping notice in my inbox. Should be here tomorrow. I guess maybe Amazon found some leftover stock in their warehouse and wanted to unload it asap or something? Anyway, so, yeah, looks like I'll finally be getting that 3DS in the near future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Spent 10 dollars on the current Humble Bundle, which gets me a crapload of old SNK arcade games. Not a bad deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Welp, I was gonna wait until after Christmas but my financial aid for next semester came in like a week earlier than usual so... I didn't want Smash but it was free as a soft bundle so meh. Kinda wish I'd been able to pick another game. I don't really care about the series, so I'll probably just sell it. Also had to get an AC adapter, because Nintendo are fucking morons, and EBGames annoyingly didn't seem to have the official one so I had to order it from Amazon instead.

Mal Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) I couldn't resist after watching someone stream this game. You build a metro network with the normal failure state of overcrowded stations. It's simplicity and art direction pretty much screams mobile game but it works and is released first on PC. One reason I got this is because I get the mobile version when it comes out. After sinking in two six hours of game time, I think it'll transition into a great mobile game (average round of 15-20 minutes).

deanb Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Picked up Lara Croft GO, Hitman GO, Card Dungeon, and Crayola DJ (for 50p it'll amuse the kids more than for me) on Android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baconrath Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I got both of the old Freedom Force games in a bundle that was on sale while I was browsing all the steamy piles in the less than $5 section after being sorted by lowest price first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
