EDIT: Its way too short but hey just play again.

I've got Thief 3 ($3 USD), Machinarium ($10 USD) and The Witcher: Enhanced Edition ($13.39 USD) sitting in my Steam cart waiting to go. I'm just waiting to see what the next 24 hour sale will have to offer before I pull the trigger, though (5 min away).

Edit: stupidly didn't realise Thief 3 was one of the sale items changing price when the new set of deals began...

Damn I thought you were talking about GAME :(

Hmm, do I want to play Saints Row 2? At first I thought I did but I hate all that gang rapper talk. For $4 it should be cheap enough to tempt me but for some reason it doesn't :p

edit: Lol, everytime I think about getting a Steam game on sale (like SH: Homecoming) I checkup on the forum and there's always a thread saying "too many bugs, don't buy it" "can't start the game up". Is there ever a decent PC port?

*thinks FF7 & FF8 & the original REs* Hmmmm...no

Watching the video review I've realised that there's not too much emphasis on the whole gangster talk. For some reason I kept thinking of 'Cradle 2 the Grave' & 'Gangstar', mixing it up

Anyway, bought it. Just hope it works...is this really 11gb? I might have to leave it going overnight

Nope, the Escape from Buther Bay in Dark Athena is exactly the same but prettier, and iirc it has a nicely implemented little cover system of sorts that the original game didn't have - so it's arguably better.

You probably would have been better off getting the GOTY edition of Fallout 3 for $50 from EB. If you were to get each piece of DLC you're looking at spending a further $66 (if you're buying them at 800 points each, anyway). That's assuming you'll want the DLC, of course.

Jay

Couple of short games because I have so much time on my hands :rolleyes:

Dragon Age $25
Fallout 3 GOTY $25

both from PALGN.

So what the better expansions to play. When I finished Fallout I obviously didn't do much exploring because I think I am only level 11 or something. Also whats this about having to install broken steel before I finish the game in order for the story to follow on.

My latest bargain purchase was BlazBlue for Xbox 360. Limited Edition with 2 controller faceplates (not that i'll ever use them), for a sweet $37 at EB.

There are some damn good bargains on at the moment (though not as good as Game's mental sale) and I could easily buy 4-6 of the games i've been meaning to, but I must stay strong.

Oh look! GAME are having their "1 cent for every game ever made" sale! :p

I didn't finish the Monkey Island 1 SE after an unexpected PC problem (such is the case with pretty much all the games I play, including consoles). I probably should though so I'm up to date :( Only played an hour or so of Monkey Island 2, I love the way you get the bucket :D

They're not going out of business, but they've hit some trouble. They recently had something of a reshuffle amongst the bigwigs, assigning one of the guys from the UK to head up GAME Australia. Around 20 stores are supposed to be closing once their leases are up. They'll still be around, but the company's hit a bit of a rocky patch.

GAME are by far the worse videogames retailer of all time. Their stores try to be a combination of Gametrader's decor and EB's generic brands ( go into one store and you don't need to go into another, same games, same shit, even the pre-owned holds no surprises from store to store )
EBS survive because they have the amazing sales, just wish they would shut that geek up who does the voiceovers, he makes all gamers look like D&D nerds.

Because it's so far below cost price maybe? Seriously, I don't price match unless: a) it's a game that SHOULD be a lot less than it is (Modern Warfare 2.......I mean, $119.95 STILL?!), or; b) I can match it to another store without going under cost (which is listed on any store's system, I'd say).

JB can afford to buy ludicrous amounts of stock and sell it at a lower price, while Game (and maybe even EB) can't afford that.

I guess it's different from person to person. I enjoy playing BlazBlue...wouldn't say i love it but do enjoy it, but for me SFIV was a big fat meh when I played it. Haven't even considered getting SSFIV.

On a topic related note. Just got an email from play-asia stating that they've shipped my copy of Persona 3 Portable. Even though I own it on PS2 I'm a sucker for the fact there's a female protagonist storyline.

Tomorrow a PS3 with PlayTV from Myer (or GAME if they still price match consoles) and Demon's Souls if I can find it!

Demon's Souls for PS3. I just hope it's not too frustrating.

ROFL ... not frustrating ROFL again. The first level will kick your arse.

It doesn't have the same accessible charm as SFIV which killed it for me.

Street Fighter is accessible through familiarity. Over the years it's retained the same characters, same moves, and same basic strategies.

So any new fighter is really going to struggle to cut through.

Anyone picking it up hoping it will play like Street Fighter will be disappointed. But then again, it'd be pretty foolish to make that assumption.

My only problem with BlazBlue was the limited roster, and the boring designs within. I didn't find any of the character designs instantly appealing, which is generally how I pick a character when I first play it. Lichi looked like a Mai Shiranui clone, and Ragna the Bloodedge and Jin Kisaragi felt like a repeat of Sol Badguy and Ky Kiske.

It only took about 15 minutes in practise with Noel to get a good grasp of the game.

And I do not like!

Yes i'm talking about BlazBlu. So happy I didn't import it.

Bummer dude, I love it.

Guess we'll be limited to just SSFIV in the upcoming fighter night at your joint.

And my credit card decided to decline my order from yesterday despite BlahDVD already shipping the order.

PS2 - Sonic Gems Collection $10

Browsing at Kmart to pass some time this morning and found this bargain (bought it for Sonic CD, why the **** else would you buy it? Not for Sonic the Fighters, that's for sure).

Anyhow, mark downs on all game formats on many games at Kmart, PS3/X360 releases from last year for about $44 each and some decent deals on DS and PS2 for under $22 each.

Tempted to but the hulk or iron man games, but not even for $15! No way man.

Was in Game yesterday and saw that Wii Sports Resort (with Motion Plus) was back up to $79, but Red Steel 2 with Wii Motion Plus was $49, so I bought it. Now I've got 2 Wii Motion Pluses. No doubt they'll be one bundled with the new Zelda when it comes out too.

I really need to start playing through some games now. At least I've finished Bayonetta now and I've 'finished' Mario Galaxy 2, but I need to get more stars.

From memory they games I've bought in the last month are:

House Of The Dead Overkill on Wii (Had a bit of a play of this last night. Don't think it's one that I'm going to playing through, though)
Little Big Planet (PS3)
No More Heroes 2 (Wii)
Mad World (Wii)
Little King's Story (Wii) (Played this for a bit last night too. Pretty good, but not the sort of game I generally go for. Kind of like Pikmin in a way)
Zack & Wiki Quest for Barbaros' Treasure (Wii)
Advanced War: Days Of Ruin (DS)

And that's just from the last month. I've still got heaps of games from ages ago to play through as well.

House of the Dead Overkill is too samey, all you do is move from tiny environment to tiny environment and kill all of the zombies on screen. Rinse repeat. I just can't explain it, it feels very samey to me. You don't even get to control your character's movement!

Little Big Planet is too samey. All you do is advance across platforming levels, avoiding pitfalls and pushing and pulling things until you reach the end. Then you do it all again in the next level.

At least you're prepared. I bought the thing thinking "awesome! Sonic Adventure!!". Not even 5 minutes in and I kept glitching through the scenery, then I'd get a little further :glitch:......and so-on and so-on. Oh, and from memory I don't believe there's gamepad support for ANY of the games, either. :(

Yeah of course UT99 had more features in pretty much every aspect (dodging, Assault, secondary fire etc ) but this is also the main reason why Q3A was so good. Q3A shone in simplicity. It was so balanced because it offered pure FPS deathmatch. The speed of your movement and jumps, the different tactical uses of your weapons and the layout of the maps all come together in such a synergy that no other FPS has ever touched yet. I love UT99 but its feature overload (by no means a bad thing) meant that it wasn't as 'clean' in terms of mechanics. There's a reason why Q3 is still being played competitively today.

AranchineD

My 360 controller works fine with Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes but not with Mega Collection (it keeps thinking that I'm pressing left for some reason). I have another crappy gamepad that works fine with Mega Collection but I might see if I can find my USB-Playstation converter thing and try it with my PS2 controller too.

I don't mind Sonic Heroes, not sold on Sonic Adventure though

So Q3A is better because UT99 has more stuff in it?

Yeah, pretty much. Q3A's core is much more balanced compared to UT99. But UT99 compensates by adding more stuff.

What's unbalanced about UT?

Here's how it is:

You play Quake 3 Arena because you want to play an oldie but a goodie, for nostalgia etc.

You play UT99 (or even 2k4 or 3) if you have a group of people who want awesome funtime action.

I haven't posted for a while or even acquired all that much in the way of new games. All the playstation stuff was $30-40 and the 360 shooters were full price, Deathsmiles II in particular was hideously expensive costing over $90 due to the exchange rate at the time combined with play asia's usual mark-up. It's much better then expected although it's so easy I even got the 1cc with all characters and 1cc w/every level over 2 achievements. The highlight in that lot though has to be red seeds profile, it's so good I even tracked down access games first title spy fiction. Haven't tried it yet though as I'll have to drag the old ps3 or modded ps2 from out of storage to do so.

I got a heap of DD, on PSN I picked up Donpachi, DoDonpachi, Zanac X Zanac & LSD. Also Dark Awake (which looks worse then all the ps1 fighters thanks to pre rendered sprites and the lack of a decent filter), Raystorm HD (it's awful, don't be sad it's not in the Aussie stores), Afterburner Climax, That triple pack of Doujin shooters Gundemonium Recollection & Earthworm Jim.

Dsiware grabbed a couple of shit 200 point platformers as well as that castlevania rip off Soul of Darkness, GG series Z-One 2 & Earthworm Jim.

Assuming you go for the GBA SP rather than the vanilla GBA or the micro, keep in mind that you can pick up the GBA SP with the brighter back light from the US for $50 these days. Pricey for an SP, but not when you consider that the backlit model was never released locally (ours is front lit, that's why the light is crap!)

FYI - Just remember that the power plug won't fit our terminals. Not sure if you can plug in a PAL one or not, but you can always use an adapter.
Sure you can play GBA games on the first two models of DS, but many GBA games need those shoulder buttons, which are much more responsive than the DS shoulder buttons.

Bought a cheap arcade stick. Not good, not bad. But it'll do. It's solid enough I can punch it, so that's what matters.

The clicking noises kind of turn me on. Makes me think of the old old old arcades.

Mafia II, $42. Traded in some games at EB, used my Edge card but completely forgot about the 50% extra trade value towards pre-orders :( Mind you I didn't even know I wanted the game until yesterday which was the first day of release & then I watched some gameplay vids this morning & wanted it even more!

I could've traded the games towards Gran Turismo 5 or NFS Hot Pursuit but I didn't think of GT5 & I was still undecided on NFS Hot Pursuit, doh! Oh well

My Korean copy of Sengoku Basara 3 on ps3 arrived yesterday, was $43AUD shipped. The same ebay seller has them at $47 now so I did alright out of that. I've already finished the main story with one of the characters, only 15 more to go.

Sure seems like it, they like taking my money.

Ended up getting TimeSplitters Perfect Future on game cube as well, didn't notice I it and that I had already put a bid on it. Oh well.

Unfortunately using that Mafia II DLC code counts as a "used" game when I went to return it to EB instead of being able to use the 7 day trade :( FFS, its a piece of paper! And I'm sure they've got loads of codes in the back, I actually included that & the receipt but it was "no deal" from the staff. I really wish they'd just put the DLC on the game itself, its stupid the way they do that. So I only got $74.25 including the 65% extra trade value towards a pre-order, must've been worth less than $50 for a RRP$109.95 despite being less than a week old - that's pretty crap

I did the same with Batman AA & Split Second, trading them towards pre-orders, got $34.65 for Batman (which I paid $28 for) and $52.80 for Split Second (paid $24). $161.71 trade in total, split that in half and put it towards Dead Rising 2 & NFS Hot Pursuit LE (DLC stuff). Hopefully after pricematching they'll both cancel eachother out & I won't have to pay extra
