I did an in-store pickup on Resistance 3. I loved the first one, but thought the second one was total shit.

Gears of War 3 is $15 at Amazon

Tempting but I think I'm over this franchise and backlog collecting, so will pass.

X-MEN DESTINY IS $9.99 AT BEST BUY

$1.50 at Redbox at launch was still a better deal.

And very little of that $1.50 made it's way to crazy Canadian dude.

Bought From Dust for a buck. Man, Ubiplay or whatever the fuck it is called is some backwards-ass shit, there's like 12 stages you have to go through to install, hahaha.

If you can find a Gamestop with a collector's edition of SWTOR, they're on sale for $30.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #1089 on:** August 17, 2012, 11:57:40 PM »

I bought Anno and Hawx yesterday.

I tried to buy From Dust multiple times today but kept getting a server error.

This is just a heads-up, and YMMV. My local K-Mart has a clearance rack for video game accessories, and they were blowing out the "Ultimate Combo Pack" Dualshock/Games bundles for $36. Mine had the Uncharted/Uncharted 2 bundle (which I bought) and the Resistance/Resistance 2 bundle. Evidently the Uncharted bundle was supposed to be $45 but someone had just slapped the same $36 sticker on all the bundles. My PS3 controller barely holds a charge anymore, so I was kinda in the market for one anyway, and at $36 that's almost $20 cheaper than a Dualshock by itself.

Huff · « **Reply #1091 on:** August 24, 2012, 11:58:45 AM »

Bebpo · « **Reply #1099 on:** September 27, 2012, 03:49:14 PM »

Will it be cheaper in the Black Friday steam sale most likely? I don't have time to play it until probably next year anyhow. I have little time for gaming and am in the middle of a few games and then ACIII and ACIII Vita will last me for 2012.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #1100 on:** September 27, 2012, 04:57:39 PM »

I'm holding off on ACIII until Black Friday, cause you know that it will get discounted at Amazon.

I will do Dishonored for $30 and XCOM for $20 (I remain unconvinced XCOM is for me; am not willing to spend more than $20)

Brehvolution · « **Reply #1106 on:** October 19, 2012, 03:12:56 PM »

XCOM is the first game in a loooong time that has made me want to whip the keyboard across the room.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #1107 on:** October 19, 2012, 03:23:47 PM »

I've been listening to Giant Bomb and man that game sounds infuriating. I'm gonna pass.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #1108 on:** October 19, 2012, 04:06:34 PM »

Hahaha, yeah, they sort of talked me out of buying it anytime soon, particularly that bit about restarting the game 9 hours in because he knew he couldn't win. I know myself well enough that I'd have my sole Xbox PC controller broken all to pieces within days if that happened. Maybe if they patch in a casual mode. I just can't tolerate punishing games the way I could when I was younger.

Bebpo · « **Reply #1109 on:** October 19, 2012, 04:07:44 PM »

Sounds like the game is faithful to the original though. I remember trying the original back in the day and finding it fairly tough and frustrating.

It is fairly faithful to the original in that regard although that's not necessarily a positive at least in a tutorial sense. The game is very challenging and rightfully so. At a proper difficulty level its not supposed to be a cake walk. It's a throwback to an era I grew up in where failing and then learning from that process was the nature of game design. You could legit fail something back in the day. That is no longer the case.

It's a fantastic game. And if you are worried about playing it and not knowing what to do just asking a few questions around here about what should be your priorities will solve that. It's actually fairly simple in concept at least. The game has a decent and lengthy tutorial although it doesn't emphasize some of the essential points like you need to have satellites up and you need to expand your base to account for this and money will be tight so you have to get going on that process asap. The tutorial also gives you the impression that you should go ahead and progress the story stuff quickly which is not the case.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #1111 on:** October 19, 2012, 08:06:43 PM »

Its not bad. I was afraid of that too but it's fun if you go in with the mentality of not giving a shit about who you lose

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #1112 on:** October 20, 2012, 12:02:18 AM »

Really, X-com is no different than a rogue like. Just more elaborate.

Sometimes bad shit happens and you have to try again. This time with more knowledge and a better plan.

Bebpo · « **Reply #1113 on:** October 20, 2012, 03:41:25 AM »

Well I don't really like rogue-likes after more than 20 mins or so, so I probably wouldn't like X-com for that reason lol

Rogue-likes are a lot of fun, but yeah, I fucking hate random getting-fucked-and-having-to-start-over

Huff · « **Reply #1114 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:30:52 AM »

This is my first XCOM. I'm playing it on easy and taking my time. Also, with hearing some of the tips from the bombcast and online I'm not expecting to have to start over. It's really great. I have had to start missions over because I lost a man or two, but that was mostly bad strategy on my part.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #1115 on:** October 20, 2012, 02:32:03 PM »

Loving the shit out of Sleepeh Dawgs. I love playing games for 1/3rd the price two months after release at 1080p 60fps on the superior gaming platform that is still technically THREE YEARS OUT OF DATE smh

Lollipop Chainsaw is $20 on Amazon

I'm not worried about having to start over either. Each mission is random so you will face a totally different scenario than the first time you played though.
