Ultimate Videogame Topic 3: The Next Generation

Who · Post Post #100 (ISO) » Thu Nov 28, 2013 6:04 pm

I have a mac, so that is not an option. I'll wait for the version with all the DLC to get down to 20, unless the regular version drops to 20 very quickly.

The reason for waiting for the DLC bundle is simply that if I am going to wait for it to get to 20 then I may as well wait a bit longer. Especially given how at the moment I am not exactly without new videogames, I'm getting Hitman: Absolution and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD remake, so there is no reason to get AO when it isn't at its absolute cheapest.

Amazon is having flash sales on downloads and physical games. Got Tales of Xilia for $20. Woot.

Amazon PS+ is cheap right now, USA only

Who · Post Post #103 (ISO) » Fri Nov 29, 2013 6:24 am

Is PS+ worth it?

Also, God of War Saga is currently only 15$, I've never played GoW but I've heard good things about it, I'm buying it.

SERIOUSLY ACTIVISION?

17% off COD Ghosts as a featured sale?

that's fucking ridiculous

bioshock infinite is 75% off

Skyrim went down to 8 bucks

even the old COD games are at least 15$

I keep meaning to give the franchise a proper chance, but every Steam sale is like this - everything else ranges from 50-75% off and CoD's lucky to get 25%

I've heard that Ghosts is bad, even from people who like the series.

I am bad at not buying shiny things, I bought a year of PS+. The total wallet damage:
Kingdom Hearts 1.5: 10$ (20$ but split with my sister)
Hitman:  Absolution: 10$
God of War Saga:     15$
1 year of PS+:         30$
Total:                     65$

You NEED PS+ now to play online.

I've been a subscriber to it since it launched on PS3...

It's $10 cheaper than XBL...

The only issue i have, is the PS4 came with a card for a month free and CoD and BF4 came with 1 week cards each, since I am already a paying member, I can't redeem them, which is BS, I have emailed Sony. M$ lets you use them, they should to. Why should I not get a month free? I have been a loyal subscriber for years..

I don't have a PS4 and probably won't get one for a while. Also, I don't play online that much. I mainly got it for the free games.

tanstalas · Post Post #108 (ISO) » Fri Nov 29, 2013 10:32 am

Yeah, I mean it is a great deal, the only downside is if it is a free game, and your PS+ sub runs out you can't play that game anymore, if you pay anything for the game, like if it is discounted 99% and you pay a penny you can play even if it runs out.

1 year memberships are on sale today only at $29.99 with a maximum quantity of 2. I am now a ps plus member until May of 2016.

Amazon, Best Buy, Wal Mart, Gamestop, and Toys R Us are the major retailers you can get the deal from I believe.

The free games are the reason we bought it, and are the reason we've extended our membership. I don't care nearly as much about online play.

HOLY F*CK!

Bioshock Infinite on sale for $9.99?!?!

Buy that shit now if you don't have it already!

Umbrage · Post Post #111 (ISO) » Fri Nov 29, 2013 12:27 pm

I would but I've already got way too much shit to play.

It didn't give me any issue to use them...Are you sure? I bought one of the on-sale year cards today and it just let me add it on to my existing time.

Spoiler: Just did this...

tanstalas · Post Post #114 (ISO) » Fri Nov 29, 2013 11:09 pm

Positive. Probably the other cards are for "new" people.

My friend didn't notice the card, bought the one year subscription and then he tried to use the card but it wouldn't let Him

So I'm debating buying a 2/3DS for my commutes, which are getting progressively more tedious. Besides Fire Emblem, what games should I be looking at picking up?

tanstalas · Post Post #116 (ISO) » Sat Nov 30, 2013 2:23 am

Or, buy a DS and a Cyclo

finally picked up bioshock infinite

I'm stoked.

Infinite rules, but it's shorter than it could have been

Don't have a 3DS either, so I second this question.

Pokemon is supposed to be great if that's your thing, Animal Crossing is fun if you just need time to kill, if you've played 999 (9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors) there's a sequel out... That's all I have my eye on, plus KH3D.

Play on hard, makes it last longer... though I had to drop down to normal for 2 fights, I'm sure you can remember which 2...

an inferior but still pretty damn good sequel, yeah.

bioshock series isn't really my type of game, enjoyed the original though so I might get infinite when I have less stuff to play.

so this game is fun
