I love me some Hitman, so this was a no-brainer. I'm not a fan of the business model, though, so I just got the intro pack to give the game a shot. So far it seems to be a solid return to form so I'll definitely get the rest of it, just not right away. Probably once a few more episodes are out and I can get a decent discount on the upgrade pack.

New game from the Risk of Rain devs just came out. Been on my radar ever since the announcement. It's some kind of Gunpoint-esque stealth action game and I am all over that.

The gameplay is supposed to be pretty average but the Alaskan native theme is interesting and is interspersed with high quality specially made documentary footage and artwork and it was made with input from the native community throughout, which overall make iit a worthwhile experience.

I was about to pull the trigger on a Mario 3D Land + Link Between Worlds order but decided to browse a little longer. Came across this for 60 bucks and I just had to go for it instead. It was a bit pricy for a 3DS game but I'm pretty sure the last time I checked it was something like 90 bucks on the Amazon marketplace and I really wanted to avoid getting it through the eshop if at all possible, so I couldn't pass it up.

 

But man, some of these older games are hard as fuck to find at reasonable prices. Even Etrian Odyssey Untold, which is only like 3 years old, is around 70 bucks now. I have a feeling I'll eventually have to shell out quite a bit if I really want Dragon Quest VI and IX. :( I should probably grab DQV while it's only 40 bucks...

I just get them directly from the Steam store pages and rehost them on imgur. If you right-click -> open image in new tab, you'll get the bigger version. It used to be you had to remove the image size from the url to get the bigger one but that's no longer the case.

The price inexplicably went up in a lot of regions today (to 80 bucks here) but it went back down just now. Not sure whether the initial increase was a mistake or if it going back down was but I'm not taking any chances, pre-ordered while it's back down to 60 bucks.

I picked up the new HIB mobile bundle cos I've had my eye on Framed and it's quite neat. Interesting mechanic, though at the moment feels like there's only one "right" way to progress each level and hoping that changes as there's more panels and it progresses.

 

Also picked up TES:Online for PS4 cos it was like £8, so that's updating atm.

Grabbed a few things this week

Ended up pulling the trigger on that Amazon marketplace copy. I've been playing a lot of Persona Q this past week and at some point I realized it's just not much of a Persona game. I'm still enjoying the hell out of it, though. Exploring these dungeons and mapping them out yourself is so satisfying and fun. So, I felt like I needed to get into the actual Etrian Odyssey series.

Came out on the eShop for n3DS today. I've been meaning to play it for years, so it was a no-brainer. I really hope they end up bringing Earthbound Beginnings over as well. It's so fucking stupid to have a VC game being Wii U exclusive, especially given it's an NES game and there's already plenty of those on 3DS. So it's not like it was an emulation issue like with the SNES games.

 

Also grabbed some dirt cheap bundle on IndieGala or something.

There was some other crap in it but these three are the main ones I got it for. I've been curious about the Van Helsing games for a while, just not enough to actually buy them individually. 5 bucks for the lot was too good to pass up, though.

 

And finally

...for some fucking reason. Steam implemented this new thing where you can get discounts on a bundle based on how many games in it you already own. I already had everything else in the bundle that went on sale a few days ago, so it was 5 bucks for this one. I haven't even played Borderlands 2 yet, total impulse purchase. I might have a problem...

I DID IT!!
I set my alarm, woke up early. Constantly refreshed the Amazon page on Chrome, but it never change. At about 7:02 I started to worry I missed it, I switched to Firefox and sure enough they had it.
BRING ON THE FUTURE!!!!! (Please don't be another Move, please don't be another Move).

So, yesterday I was on Amazon and added all those games to my cart. When I got to the order review page, I saw the total price and kinda went "Eh... maybe not." I let them sit in the cart, meaning to come back later and decide which one(s) to remove. Then I came home drunk at 4AM and just sent the order through. Oh well...

 

I haven't played a first-party Nintendo game in like a decade, so I'm really looking forward to playing a Mario and Zelda game again. The other two, well, they're SMT and you can never have too much SMT in your life. That being said, at this point I probably have enough of them to last me through the entire year (if I played nothing else), so I think I'm good for a little while.
