[ozzgx4]

Yeah they are giving them away as a promotional thing

[Princess Garnet]

I took my brother out to get another copy of a game that stopped working, and decided to grab myself two games.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/Lord_Zedeck/Games_02.jpg

These are somewhat unusual purchases, since one is a sports game (I'm a Cavaliers fan) that my brother has for the Xbox 360 and says is good, and the other was sort of an impulse buy, so yeah, something different. NBA2K10 was $14.99 and Killing Floor was $19.99 (am aware it's on Steam too, but oh well).

[Noja87]

yeah KF! Fun game =)

[OminaeYu]

I took my brother out to get another copy of a game that stopped working, and decided to grab myself two games.oO Lol what?

[Princess Garnet]

One of his games stopped working (was probably scratched up? I don't know, and don't care even since he gave me $5 for the gas and time), and I gave him a ride to the store so he could buy it, and while we were there, I was browsing the PC games and made a purchase or two of my own. What's hard to understand about that?

[Kazuya]

There is a way to remove the prices and labels that sometimes are glued to the cases and boxes of used and new games. Just use baby oil. I made a tutorial that can be seen along with pictures in my personal blog.

Shamelessly points toward sig :p

[Exodus]

I've also gotten it to work by just taking a piece of tape and quickly placing and removing it on the gluey part repeatedly.

[koko]

Killing Floor looks nice.

[Paratech]

Loose Gamecube game, Godzilla destroy all monsters, it was 50% off today, $0.50! Great deal, no fooling. ;)

[Noja87]

I have it. Its fun ^^

Not pictured (as they're "loose") Gran Turismo 3, Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, DOA2 Hardcore, all PS2.

I haven't installed Dungeon Lords and won't get to play BlazBlue until July when I get a 360, I picked it up now as its 1/2 price at the moment, Easter Sale at Gamestop.

I tried Soul Calibur Broken destiny, its not as bad as Soul Calibur 3, but I wish it were Soul Calibur or Soul Calibur 2, no arcade mode, :cry: I hate the "do this move or lose mode" and I seriosly doubt I'll convince Charline to buy the game so I can play 2 player...I wish I had purchased King of Fighters instead :cry: :angry: :(

I'm fan of AoF and KoF games. I have them all for the PS2, except KoF 94 Rebout version. I had the original KoF ROMs for Genesis, they are all gone :dead:

I'll buy KoF XII for the PS3 next month.

No PSP 3000/go is. The best they can have is "half" custom firmware, which goes away as soon as you power off completely, due to it being loaded in RAM. You have to rerun the exploit each time you turn it back on from a cold boot.

Mine is, as Daxtsu said, half hacked. But when it is, there is no noticeable difference. I can run games. Never tried any application or emulator on it though. Hope a new decent CFW comes out soon.

If you're asking me, no my PSP 3000 isn't hacked, I may get a 2000 next year as a "backup" system :evil: :thumb:

This was from last Friday to today. IIRC I snagged Resident Evil 4 Wii last Friday 4/2/10, the rest was today. The Dragon's Lair II was actually priced ~$5.90 after it was discounted to $7.99, then dropped another 30% off.

The Samurai Shodown was a PIA to get for the PSP, now all I "need" is the KOF Anthology for the PSP and I'll have all the Neo Geo games out for it. I have the SNK pack, Metal Slug pack, and the Samurai Shodown Pack.

I can also play Dragon's Lair "legally" on my PC, as owning the XBOX version entitles me to be able to play Dragon's Lair II Timewarp in Daphne.

My local Hollywood Video is going out of business, here are a few nice finds I picked up from the liquidation sale:

[Kaiser Sigma]

My first Limited Edition PSP game, Ys I & II / Seven Set, contents are self explanatory. In addition to the two games it comes bundled with Falcom postards. Oh and JDK rocks as usual, literally and figuratively speaking~.

[Noja87]

My local Hollywood Video is going out of business, here are a few nice finds I picked up from the liquidation sale:

Wow thats a lot of great games. How much for everything?

[VT-Vincent]

It came to about $120 for everything. The DS games were extremely cheap at about $5 each, Prinny was $24, and the rest were between $10 and $20 each. The Patapon 2 download voucher was put in with Prinny by accident so that was a freebie.

It's actually kind of sad... I bought FF XIII just a few weeks ago and looking at this haul, I really don't feel like finishing it right now.

3 Cases @ 120+, 2 96 cases, 1 72 case, 3 48 cases.

360+192+72+132+ a bunch (56) on Steam.

452+204+steam(56)

656+steam(56).

There are some productivity programs and some multiple CD/DVDs (Games that use multiple CDs/DVDs,) so maybe 500 is more accurate.?

***EDIT*** ~56 Steam games.

[Noja87]

i think the pc gaming industry it still alive because of Paratech.

[ozzgx4]

lol Agreed, without Paratech Pc gaming would have died a long time ago. Keep it up :thumb:

[Exodus]

I'm happy with my modest collection of ~180 games. Less crap to sort through, and less money wasted.

[snickothemule]

made a few new purchases, Mirrors Edge and Dead Space were 10 wing wangs each, and Banjo and Far Cry 2 were 25 each. Final one was Tekken 6 special edition with a hoodie, art book and poster, but the photo wont upload.

[redlofredlof]

what's a wing wang?
tekken6 must be expensive then. Did you get the arcade controller too?

[Noja87]

i hope wing wang means dollars. 60$ for Mirrors Edge wtf.

[ozzgx4]

Its a new type of currency

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Oz Dollars dude

[ozzgx4]

But I don't have any Dollers under my name :(

[snickothemule]

Tekken 6 was 50% off the normal RRP of $149.95. Considering all other retail outlets were selling the standard edition for $99 I thought it was a good deal. I didn't get the arcade controller though, so I'll settle for the PS3 controller.

yeah wing wangs are money. Refer to Futurama where Bender adopts children for full details.

I have to say Tekken 6 is pretty good, although I am a complete novice to its combat system. Graphics are incredibly inconsistent however, some scenes being really smooth and look incredible, others look hideously low res and jagged.

[Paratech]

I call this one partial redemption, plus something I wanted when I purchased a C64.

They sold a million : Staff of Karnath, Daley Thompson's Decatalon, Jet Set Willy, Beach Head.

Oh yeah, imported from England!

cool, I envy you :mad::p
wish I had a ps3 and tekken6.

Though I have completed tekken6 on teh arcade.
This game is very unique because

its a fist fighting game, no weapons (except for 2/42 character)
the physics is great
the fights are fair
each character is unique and has really cool moves and once you get settled with one character you can become invincible.
42 characters to play with
awesome scenario campaign, makes the game a fighting RPG.
get a taste of your own poison with the Ghost mode.

My first PS1 game was tekken3, I hated it and I hated the fighting genre.
Now, my fav PS3/PSP game is tekken6 and I like fighting genre more than any other genre. But I don;t like soul calibur since its weapons fighter.

I traded in a few games at Gamestop to get a few games.

I traded in, Soul Calibur Broken Destiny (PSP), Contra 4 (DS), Feel The Magic (DS), Race Driver: Create & Race (DS), Every Extend Extra (PSP), and Daxter(PSP), and received $35.29 for them in trade in credit (on my card.)

I purchased Impossible Mission (Wii), Pangya (PSP), Alien Syndrome (PSP), Daxter (PSP), and The Lost Vikings (GBA), and had to pay ~$1.43 in tax.

Now if you're wondering why I traded in Daxter and repurchased it, trading in 6 games at Gamestop gave me an extra 40% in trade in credit (in addition to having 10% for my Edge card,) so it boosted my Soul Calibur trade in by $1.35 (10%,) and I got $1.50 for Daxter and I repurchased it for $2.79, so it was a wash, but I'd have lost 10% on the other 4 games I traded in by not trading it in.

So far I like what I got better than what I gave up.

:wub:

[Noja87]

Why Contra 4? is the best one :(

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

The Lost Vikings huh? tried it yet? Cuz though I don't know all the games your list I'd say it's the best one you got out of that deal.

[Paratech]

I like Pangya, I loved Impossible Mission on the C64, I'm a big Alien Syndrome fan, although the PSP version is "different" and in 3D, and I like the Lost Vikings.

I just didn't like Contra 4, it was too hard for me. I have contra on the DS (Konami pack), that should be good enough.

[Cid Highwind]

Nice games Koko, I haven't had the chance to try them, though they are on my brother's shelf. I read many great things about Demon's Souls, which is definitely a game I'd love to play.

Paratech, I see you traded in Soul Calibur, isn't that supposed to be quite a good game, or doesn't it come close to the quality of the console versions?

Anyway, here's a pic of some recently acquired games, actually, they were purchased a bit earlier this year, in January. I've been playing them to great extend, as they're a lot of fun. The other week I got Pokémon Red and Pokémon Pinball from a friend of mine. Haven't tried them yet, but they're great games as I played them back in the days. And now I have both Blue and Red ^^

Otherwise I noticed that my game purchasing rate has come to an all time low now, financial reasons :heh:

[Strike105X]

@Koko: Nice purchase Prototype is great :thumb: (at least if you stick to the main mission).

I for one didn't liked it at all, although i can't really put my finger on it as of why...

[Paratech]

I didn't like Soul Calibur for the PSP, it didn't seem to have the quality of Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast / Arcade, or Soul Calibur 2 for the PS2, Gamecube, or XBOX.

hm, pc guitar hero? does that work well? I've been hearing people complaining about syncing issues, but maybe they just didn't have it configured right/poor pc.

also, is that a pc specific controller? I think the xbox one works on pc using the 360 wifi receiver... since I just got a new one, I'll have to try that. Btw, there also seem to be some rather nice freeware GH clones available for pc.

It shouldn't be an issue on your PC. It is quite difficult setting up the audio and video lag properly, it's trial and error really. Right now I feel I nailed the settings so there's no issue at all. There's some framedrops from time to time, but that's all. My biggest complaint is that you cannot configure the controls, so in case you have a PS2 guitar you need to use Joy2Key for it.

Anyway, this is a PC specific controller, got it for €36,- (including the game :D ) at Mediamarkt Utrecht. If you visit your local one, just inquire, as they might keep them in the back. They had about thirty-something left when I asked, just none were for show.

The freeware version is called Frets on Fire, I've been playing that even more I think. Just make sure you're not a n00b, cause a lot of songs are Expert only, with Hard included if lucky. Being a metal fan, a lot of my fav songs are quite difficult to say the least. Still, nothing beats playing Avantasia, Edguy and Manowar.

@Koko: Nice purchase Prototype is great :thumb: (at least if you stick to the main mission).
kind of reiterated missions...boring. And the story is sooo meh, cutscenes too.

[Cid Highwind]

Guitar Hero is pretty simple. You have a guitar with 5 coloured buttons for your left hand, the frets, and there's a so called strumbar, which you use with your right hand. With those frets you decide what note to play by pressing them down. By pressing (well, moving up or down) the strum bar you decide when that note is to be played. On this vertical map you see the notes of the song, so you have a particular pattern to play. Create combos by making no mistakes so that you will score more points. Fail, and you won't hear the guitar but some nasty noise really.

[Noja87]

I was disappointed with Prototype. Didnt even get half way through.

It didnt get better so in the end it was 6.0

All the missions were boring or frustrating.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Ah I see, that's a shame cuz it's another game I've been considering getting recently. Not into frustrating missions though...had enough of them for a loooong time thanks to HAWX (to me protection and/or timed missions are frustrating).

[Exodus]

I'm sure if you put it on a lower difficulty they wouldn't be as frustrating... That won't solve the boring-ness though.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

protection missions are difficult this way or that in any and all games cuz the AI of the party you're trying to protect has like one line of code that basically says move whereas the AI for enemies is infinitely complex so well the party you're trying to protect does all the wrong things while the enemy does all the right things and you're stuck in the middle accomplishing very little as you shuffle back and forth between threats.

[Exodus]

True... but at lower difficulty settings should always help since enemy damage is usually decreased. And damn Schumi, that was one long-ass sentence.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Yes, enemy damage is decreased...but not enough. And lol yes it was a little long.

[Strike105X]

For me HAWX felt to easy even on the hardest dificulty setting :/ plus i hated that advance flight control off mode and that you couldn't stall in the normal mode i mean wtf.... (still come to think of it if i had stall it would have been even easier :lol:). As for Prototype first time i played it i did the horrible mistake of also getting into the side missions... got so boring i stopped playing but after a while on a whim i tried to give it another go and sticked just to the main story (and went just after military bases to learn how to drive or fly a heli) doing it like that it turned out good i liked it.

the mousepad's boobs look uneven, they stole my idea!** :p

(**if you get that joke, you're on this forum for way too long)
its very uneven and not even that soft, not even gonna bother using it left it in the box with the pillow case.

also I don't remember that joke anymore :p

[Exodus]

A pillow case... good god.

[raksmey1309]

Holy ****, that's awesome!! Great purchase man!

Is this a sequel to Record of Lodoss War on Dreamcast?
That look like ecchi game. :wub:

[Samor]

its very uneven and not even that soft, not even gonna bother using it left it in the box with the pillow case.

also I don't remember that joke anymore :p

old BATARD-era joke, I think.
I used to draw a girl and I'd always get comments that the boobs were saggy or uneven :p

[Exodus]

Sounds vaguely familiar.... with Mary or something, right? If that was her name... I have a bad memory for most things.

[Samor]

quite right ;)

[Samor]

Forgot to post here a bunch of times, but here are my latest games:

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY (360), Super Street Fighter IV (360) and Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (PC)

[Paratech]

Nice pics Samor. I already have Batman: Arkham Asylum so I won't buy the "3d" version. I'm unsure if I'll buy Super Street Fighter 4, particularly since there's no PC port and I already purchased Street Fighter 4, although I'll be curious of your take on the game...

I dunno about the Sonic racing game, I hear the PC version isn't very good...

[Samor]

I specifically went for the pc version of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing because the 360 version had poor performance. It's missing the online features, but runs at a better framerate on my pc than the 360 demo did, and I'm running it in a higher resolution as well. Also, it was half the price.
IMO, you need a 360 controller to play it properly, though (or maybe other gamepads work properly (they didn't in my case); either way analog steering is highly recommended).

You won't miss the 3D in Batman: AA a lot. It's a subtle effect, and it works, but not much more than a gimmick.

As for SSFIV, it's an optimised version of SFIV with quite a bit extra content, so I didn't mind paying mid-price for it.

[Yeloazndevil]

SSF4 felt like a SF game to me unlike SF4, probably end up picking it up since I tried it at a friends house last week.

[Samor]

it does hit more close home to the "old" SF's than the previous one did, not in the last place because of the inclusion of more fan-favorite characters. It helps a lot in the little things... the anime intro's are less animated, but look better, there's more character-related music, relation to final fight is back and we finally see some sf3 characters back.
I've also noticed a few improvements in balance and the new stages are gorgeous.

[Exodus]

So it was more than just a quick add-on of characters, and release?

[Samor]

yep, while it's similar, it's highly polished.

they didn't change everyhing around, so, it's not like a street fighter alpha 3 or 3rd strike, but enough to warrant it a valid upgrade and an improved game.

I'm missing parries, though, but that's me; only recently I found out properly how they worked (SF3) and I love the concept.... they should've continued on it.

[Paratech]

Are the endings the same in Street Fighter 4 and Super Street Fighter 4 or are they different?

I'll keep those games in mind for down the line. Maybe Steam will have a sale for the Sega racing game?

[Samor]

the anime parts are all different (new intros, endings), but while they're better drawn, they're much less animated (often being more of a picture slideshow).

Also, there's new rival cutscenes for the new characters, but it seems to be the same for all the existing characters.

[Paratech]

Velvet Assassin plus a "free" Maelstrom was included, from gogamer.com .

I wanted Velvet Assassin for a while, and a "free mystery game" was cool!

:thumb:

I'll try and scan pictures later! ;)

[Paratech]

Sonic Unleashed Nintendo Wii

It was on sale at Wal Mart, oddly enough they wanted $15 for the Wii version, and $20 for the PS2 version? oO :???:

[Samor]

that's weird, the Wii version is supposed to be better.

Don't forget to tell me if you like it :)

I previously rented it, but I can't remember if I had the "classic controller" at the time.

IIRC it was fun, minus the Werehog levels...

How is Sonic and the Secret Rings? :heh:

[Paratech]

Metal of Honor: Rising Sun: Gamecube

It was a gift from Charline, The Gaming Shack was selling it loose for $1. She knew I wanted it, and gave me $1 to buy it! Ain't she sweet! :)

A Loose Metroid (NES) came in the mail today. A gamer at Retrogames wanted to get rid of it and I made him an offer he couldn't refuse!

It looks "like new", I haven't booted it yet, but I will later.

[Paratech]

I prepurchased the Mega Man Zero Pack for the DS, yes FULL PRICE! oO I wanted to have the set. I nearly finished the 4th game, but I want to start from the beginning and play through all four of them!

[Paratech]

You'll never believe what you can find at second hand stores.

Yes, I purchased the Sonic Heroes for PS2, but hey it was $2.99. I'll probably buy the Gamecube version as well.

The Frogger was $0.03. I got it, Deep Blue Sea (DVD), A Series of Unfortunate Events (DVD) Microsoft Works and Money 2005, Now that's what I call music 5 (CD) all for $0.16. Some need resurfaced, but even at that they were worth it!

[Irukapooka]

Wow Paratech. Lol. How many games do you usually get per month? It seems like you're always expanding your collection every week. ;)

I was just wondering how you get your money to buy these. But I suppose you get most of them from sales or second hand stores, right?

Btw how is Velvet Assassin? About a month ago, Blockbuster was doing a sale of buy one game for 10 bucks and get one free! So I wanted to get Bioshock for my PS3 and ended up getting a game for free even though none interested me. So I told Edward to go and pick something for his 360. The games were pretty picked over but he picked up Velvet Assassin. And then he played it. I guess it was pretty horrible. XD Oh well, it was a game that he got for free and didn't like. It would be really disappointing if I spent 60 USD on a game for him that he ended up hating.

[Paratech]

I haven't played Velvet Assassin yet, but it was on GoGamer for $2.99 plus shipping and I got another game for free, so I got 2 games for $5.90 S/H included.

The games you see in my list were $2.99 each, except frogger which was $0.03. Goodwill was having a buy 1 get 4 free on stuff they wanted to get rid of and Frogger was in that list.

I buy mostly used games.

[koko]

GTA: San Andreas PC version is a lot better.

Para likes buying the same game on other consoles. How boring.

[Paratech]

I didn't have my PC from Dec 26th 2009 to around March 1 2010, so then I played my PS2, Wii, PSP, and DS during that time. Sometimes its nice to have a game system in case another one breaks or the PC is needing repairs.

[gamefreak94]

Wow you actually remember the dates oO

[Paratech]

The day after Christmas to the day after my birthday? Yeah.

[Exodus]

Either way, it'd be partly saddening to be PC-less. I might remember the days... Okay, maybe not the days. But most likely the months.

[Paratech]

Mega Man Zero DS collection, Dawn of War GotY Gold Edition, and a payment towards Darksiders (http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=77662) for the PC.

Need for Speed Undercover & Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box

Both virtual, Steam!

[gamefreak94]

NFS UC sucked big time. I don't think you'll like it at all.

[Spyhop]

Only Steam game I would get today, if I didn't already have it, is NFS: Shift.

[Paratech]

Its overpriced, I'll wait until the "next" Need for Speed game is released and Shift drops to $19.99 or under! ;)

[Paratech]

Mass Effect, Steam, $4.99! ;)

I already owned it, but Steam is less Draconian than the "original" DRM.

[Titus03]

Three rare classic DOS-games. WTG is like new.

World Tour Golf is GREAT! I have the C64 version, IIRC.

[Samor]

I went a little Steam-crazy this week, getting Slamit Pinball: Bigscore, Burnout Paradise, Mirror's Edge and Toki Tori (that last one also because it has Dutch and MSX roots :) )

[gamefreak94]

[Paratech]

You're going to regret Bigscore Pinball! It crashes to desktop quite often, and if you don't quickly close it, it may crash to the point you need to restart your PC.

Toki Tori is a nastly little puzzle game, I have a love hate with it! :evil:

I already own Mirror's Edge but haven't installed it! and Burnout Paradise is fun!

:wub:

oh, I had, but... *cough*

;)

You're going to regret Bigscore Pinball! It crashes to desktop quite often, and if you don't quickly close it, it may crash to the point you need to restart your PC.

That might have to do with "Trap.exe". It's a dodgy little app that disables the Windows keys when playing the game. Because of this, it's detected as a Trojan by several virusscanners. I just let the scanner (in my case, MS security essentials) do it's job and delete the file - the steam version runs fine without it.
Following that, I've had no crashes whatsoever... just one funny bug where I managed to launch the ball out of the table :p

[gamefreak94]

Yeah, the game's quality is amazing to it's age. PC-version's back cover screenshots are from C64 version, which looks a bit better than Tandy.

You don't like zombies? Zombies are smart in that game :p But hey, that new director of RE games killed the horror element in RE games after Code Veronica.

As for RE5, the control is slightly new than any RE games - It is hard at first. And I didn't play much of it so far, I'm busy with OoT, Tushy :3

[Irukapooka]

Yeah I don't like zombies...I have the first game, but that's why I have not played it yet. I'm too scared of it. :( Also, I'm somewhat nervous about getting disappointed with the series because I'm thinking that it will be similar to Silent Hill. It probably isn't similar to Silent Hill though, huh?

Good, I'm glad that you're still playing OoT. What part are you at now?

Not similar to SH. SH games have silent horror! If you want a highest horror in RE games? Play RE remake or RE Nemesis. The damnit Nemesis is everywhere in the game, confusing :lol:

I'm in the Shadow Temple :D

[snickothemule]

Your friendly neighbourhood mule has been buying up as of late, mainly due to the biggest game sales I can recall from recent memory.

So far powered through both RE:5 and Uncharted 2, enjoyed them both despite their flaws, Loco Roco has been a surprise delight in both price (supposed to be 20, got it for 7.95) and in charming gameplay, Tomb Raider was the special edition (same price as regular) and Bionic Commando was a massive surprise in both gameplay and at times with its gorgeous visuals. Crackdown was a tenner and I couldn't resisit despite its reputation as being the extra game you got with the Halo 3 beta. It's an alright game, but nothing spectacular.

Kany and Lynch has been a disappointment but I expected as such, and Final Fantasy for the PSP has not impressed me at all yet, but I am determined to push through it. It is the first Final Fantasy game I have ever played. Resistance Fall of Man was also a massive letdown, fair enough it was a launch game for the PS3, but it is so bland in playablility and in visuals I can't keep interested.

I picked up Wet today, looks interesting however I am not holding my breath for spectacular gameplay, just a game I can pop in and have a quick blast with.

The most spectacular purchase I have made yet however was the splendid Limited Edition of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger with the arcade stick. Regular RRP was $119.95 and only on sale at EB (in Coffs anyway), they had a $30 sticker off but after researching the website I saw it for a special price. So I says to the clerk I says "you got calamity trigger in store" and he says "yeah", so he goes and gets it, puts it on the table and zaps it in the machine and his face dropped. 37 wing wangs it cost me, that is like a million percent off so I grabbed it. The clerk then went out back and bought a copy for himself.

[Irukapooka]

Not similar to SH. SH games have silent horror! If you want a highest horror in RE games? Play RE remake or RE Nemesis. The damnit Nemesis is everywhere in the game, confusing :lol:

I'm in the Shadow Temple :D

So RE does not have psychological horror like Silent Hill?

Hehe good luck with the Shadow Temple. ;) That one always freaked the hell out of me! D: There's zombies in it...

So did you go to the gerudo (sorry, really tired. trying to recall the name) tribe yet?

Wow Snicko! Looks like you got some pretty great deals! ;)

[ozzgx4]

Nice purchase snicko!

[koko]

Nice collection Snicko
So RE does not have psychological horror like Silent Hill?
Yeah. If you want a psychological horror game; try Siren (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_%28video_game%29)or Fatal Frame (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_Frame)

Hehe good luck with the Shadow Temple. ;) That one always freaked the hell out of me! D: There's zombies in it...

lol Kind of easy, though!

I think Gerudo is a deserted valley.

[gamefreak94]

So RE does not have psychological horror like Silent Hill?

RE isn't a psychological horror, its just zombies and mutated humans like Left 4 Dead (if you know about it).....for some reason it didn't appeal to me AT ALL. You get like 10 pistol bullets and have to get through 500 zombies i.e. run like a coward 90% of the time. Also the controls suck badly, it gets worse with a keyboard/mouse (though you being a console gamer that shouldn't be an issue), but even console/gamepad users complain about it.

[Samor]

No, there seems to be trouble with the 360 controller crashing the game! oO

I wouldn't know then, I prefer to play pinball games with keyboard.

[Paratech]

I wouldn't know then, I prefer to play pinball games with keyboard.

It seems to happen if you just have a wired 360 plugged in, even if you don't use it! :p

At least my system crashes a lot with the game, which is a shame as I like it a lot.

Do you have the Stean version? Maybe the retail version was "fixed" as I heard they went retail and had a patch, but couldn't add it to Steam as they weren't the publisher on Steam.

:( :cry:

[Irukapooka]

Nice collection Snicko

I think Gerudo is a deserted valley.I've never heard of Siren but I have heard of Fatal Frame! I'm kind of hoping that they'll remake Fatal Frame...isn't it for the PS2? If so, if I could find the game for really really cheap then I wouldn't mind buying it. It sounds like an amazing game. I will check out Siren. Maybe I will buy Haunting Ground (I believe that's the American name for it) and Silent Hill 3 then but I am hoping that SH3 will be released onto the PS3. Though it may be a long shot...

Yes, I'm talking about that Gerudo. You'll get to do the Temple after the Shadow Temple. :)

You got it right pretty much Bree. It's the Gerudo Valley. ;)

That doesn't describe the situation at all, in RE4/5 (except 2 scenes near the beginning of each game) you kill them all and the 1/2/3/CV there's way more to it than that.

I just wish the series would have stuck with it's roots. New stories and such on the same formula with updated visuals and additions would have been fine with me.

While I've only played RE1, the controls made it quite difficult to enjoy it in its entirety. Not only was the game a challenge, but so was trying to get your character to do what you wanted them to.

You must not have played the version where you have to slowly spin around in place to turn the other direction.

[Strike105X]

I played them all except Dead Aim, Outbreak and the Zero, RE Remake and the new Chronicles on the Wii. There was nothing difficult except 5 where it was annoying having the controls changed from RE4 ...

[Exodus]

You missed the point I tried to make. Never mind dude.

[Noja87]

i think the survival part of RE1 and 2 came from how clunky the controls were. You always panicked when encountering a bunch of zombies because it was so hard to run at the direction you wanted to.

[Paratech]

I snagged King's Bounty Gold, Space Trader, and Puzzle Kingdoms off Steam for $14.
They took the Witcher "off" 66% sale and put it on 33% off sale, so I didn't want to miss out on any other sales I wanted.

With about 60 games on disc (as well as 10 PSN ones), I've also got the complete Guitar hero instrument set, the Playstation Eye, the mini blue tooth keyboard that goes on the controller and a charging dock for the controllers. And just for the hell of it, some random pics of my playroom. :p

While I've only played RE1, the controls made it quite difficult to enjoy it in its entirety. Not only was the game a challenge, but so was trying to get your character to do what you wanted them to.I must be one of the few who didn't mind the controls (nor camera) much. It had it's cons, yeah, but the game overall was a formula that worked where the controls fit, if that makes sense.

You must not have played the version where you have to slowly spin around in place to turn the other direction.Yeah, that is true, but only in the first one. In the second and third, by tapping down and square (I think it was square), you'd do a quick 180 degree turn. I never even had to do that often anyway.

I had it pre-ordered at gamestop since june 22nd and gamestop is finally fulfilling all the pre-orders today to monday

every retail store I went to had like a pile of them on the floor about 20 :p

[Cid Highwind]

The time has come, Cid's gone console again. :D Sorry for the crappy pic of the console, I couldn't be arsed to put it back on my desk after having made space to put it there in the first place. I hope I won't be annoyed by the setback in graphics :p

[Ahielia]

Dragon age **** yea!

[Cid Highwind]

I read about Dragon Age while Neverwinter Nights 2 wasn't even released yet, and how it was supposed to become better than the fabled Baldur's Gate series. Okay, this is stated with every RPG released after that game, but still. I didn't really get caught up in the hype for Dragon Age though, but it's a game I should really playing being a fan of the genre.

Baldur's Gate is still much better than Dragon age, but I did enjoy Dragon Age a lot now I'm waiting for Dragon Age 2 next year

[Kazuya]

I bought Xenosaga used but for a very good price. It's really rare around here so I'm happy, I finally have the complete original trilogy.

The other one is MGS Peace Walker Special Edition. It just contains the game and an artbook which I reeeeaaallly liked. The only downside is that it's not hardcover. The box is huge as is the artbook.

I also bought SH Shattered memories along with it's soundtrack for the psp and Dead Space but I'll post pictures later. I'll play Dead space as soon as I forget all the spoilers Taisen told me about that game (hugs Taisen).

Sorry for the quality, crappy HTC phone camera FTL

PS. I also bought that chocolate bar the same day.

[Paratech]

No pictures as they were in "generic" Gamestop cases, but Burnout Legends, PSP; Children of Mana, DS; Excitebike NES, GBA; and Cy Girls, PS2.

The first three were Buy 2 get 1 free, $19.05 for all 4 games.

I'm addicted to Exicitebike! :wub: :thumb:

[Yeloazndevil]

nice selection but I would never buy a game at gamestop if it doesn't have the cover or manual. Handhelds I don't really care for the box or manual :p

[Paratech]

Lost Odyssey and Gears of War, 360. They were on sale @ Gamestop. 60% off used.

[bobrocks95]

Made my last round of vidya game purchases

Mortal Kombat vs DC was $80, got it for 18
Disgea was $90, got it for 18
GTA Chinatown was $70, got it for 18
SoulCalibur was $70, got it for 14

I think snicko did good.

I like the King of the Hill reference in there. And also nice selection.

[Kazuya]

-Silent Hill SM with OST included :D

-Nier was suggested to me so I ran to pick whatc ould veyr well be the last copy in the entire city for the rest of human history :p

-And... Dead Space which will remain unopened until I can somehow forget the magehuge SPOILERS Taisen told about this game so I'm thinking next generation :cry: (Hughs Taisen).

[Noja87]

Dead Space is win.

[emwearz]

Recently picked up copies of Ganbare Goemon 1 and 2 couple weeks back at $4 a pop, happy, wanted them for my collection, looking for 3 and 4 now, dont think I will find them that cheap though.

Just as I was getting lost in Akihabara, I found a sealed copy of Xenogears in its original language........and only for 2100 Yen.

Beat that! :evil:

[Samor]

no-one can beat that for you because you're elly and that's xenogears :p

congrats ;)

[Yeloazndevil]

don't have my camera right now but I got fallout 3 GOTY for 360 today from gamestop since they have that nice sale it was only $39 so I said why not.

[Exodus]

I can't even imagine what's that worth... Unless a lot more copies were printed in Japan.

Damn you're one lucky dude. Makes me want to play the game all over again! :lol:

[Titus03]

If you liked MGS2; do not forget to get MGS3 :P

Enjoy with it.

I didn't forget MGS3. Subsistence edition is pretty rare here, but I found it. I wanted to get MG and MG2, too, since I never had MSX-versions.

Sweet!
I still have my game neatly placed in the cupboard. Not gonna teach it anymore I think. Already made an ISO out of it. Though I think the dub was horrible.

You don't have to answer. I know I'm right.

Thanks! :p I feel soo satisfied..heh.

Its more than 10 years old by now. Old things in Japan diminish in value quickly, unless they're really rare. Thats why I bought it for cheap.
You won't believe the amount of cartridges and CDs from 8/16/32 bit consoles that you can find in all sorts of places. Many of them are used, but still in great condition. I even found some rare gamegear games! Heck, Some of these games can be sold for a fortune outside Japan. Unfortunately, I am on a tight budget, so I couldn't afford buying more than this.

[Exodus]

Hmm... I guess that'd make sense. Gaming is more integrated into their society than over here, so it'd be easier to find old games. More published, more stores carrying them for hobbyists... Or I could be totally wrong with my assumptions.

[Samor]

I think I read somewhere that old systems stay popular there for much longer as well. Either way, not too long ago Dutch MSX fans would still find new sealed games when visiting Japan. Perhaps there's still some available, even.

Maybe it's equivalent to Americans and their old-ass muscle cars.

[Samor]

probably ;)

MGS3:S is nice, I have the limited edition this is my 2nd copy my first one was sold on ebay mint for $300 2 years ago. Also MG/MG2 are cellphones ports :p

[Cid Highwind]

Oh yeah, Sh... err Yakuza 3 has arrived :D

Can't wait to start this game, although I should finish Demon's Souls first. I'm quite psyched up for Yakuza, even though I haven't played the first two. The game even has Japanese voices with English subs, which is perfect. Especially with the memory of Shenmue 1 still fresh on my mind. It's the special edition as well, featuring an OST, a guide, and the DLC. Not extremely special, but I think it's to compensate for Europe seeing the game last.

[koko]

I played the demo and I didn't like it.

Have a fun with it, Cid :)

[Cid Highwind]

Thanks Koko! I haven't even played the demo, but it has a SEGA logo on it, and it's as close to Shenmue as it gets this generation, so it can't be too bad ;)

2 out of my 3 PS3 games are by SEGA now, funny coincidence. I'm really just looking up the good deals, as I still have this huge backlog of PC games as well, from the good old Steam Summer sales.

[Titus03]

Great, have a fun with it ;)

Great deal, man. :)

I bought The Witcher again, this time: platinum edition. Compared to the old package, the installation process is very fast, has a lot of extra content and no more English. Polish voice overs are now enabled here.

Compared to TWEE-package, I give minus for missing CD-version of OST. It is there as MP3-format, though. Of course, TWEE had much more, but I don't miss those things.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Nice. It's elluded me at the local game store again. Was there for a while but I didn't have any game money at the time and now that I do it's gone again.

[Titus03]

That's life. Your time will come someday. If you are happy with Platinum's features, take it.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

no Witcher version whatsoever is available, not even a standard one

[Irukapooka]

Look what I found last night! :x3:

[gamefreak94]

I'm actually surprised you didn't already own all SH games for all platforms seeing as you're such a big fan of it :p

[Irukapooka]

I'm actually surprised you didn't already own all SH games for all platforms seeing as you're such a big fan of it :p

They have been very very very hard to find, truthfully. If I found them new, they were costing a fortune with money that I didn't have. If I found them used, none of them seemed to be of good quality.

I found these used at the game store for a decent price and everything was in good condition. :)

[koko]

very nice :D

[Kazuya]

Look what I found last night! :x3:

I officially envy you :cry:
I haven't found The Room around here.

Ps. My SH3 has the OST and my SH2 contains restless dreams :p

[Irukapooka]

P.S.: I have the SH3 soundtrack that came along with the SH3 copy I bought and also have Restless Dreams (though I will not reveal how I acquired it. ;))

[Kazuya]

Are you alive? oO

Btw, to all the people who buys used games, you can take the labels they put in them with some baby oil. You just make them all wet and take them carefully. proceed to use a little more of it to remove the glue traces.

[Titus03]

Indeed. Some people are just lazy. When I last time bought an used MSX-game, one half of the label was left to the cover for about 25 years. I decided to remove it at last.
