Ghost Recon 3DS for $13.99. People have said it's the best 3DS game that's not Mario. Is it really that good?

GameFly has a deal where you can buy 2 games and get $12 off.

Post by: Bebpo on November 23, 2011, 02:28:19 PM: Also I'd be less hostile toward iphone gaming if you could use a stylus on it. Using your GIANT FINGER TIP is this huge imprecise blob that covers the screen and pushes on a wide area, causing inaccurate controls and lack of visibility.

Maybe iOS gaming is better on the ipad. I dunno, I have no need for a tablet so I don't have one.

for the iOS games, I think anything that isn't real time can be better.

I don't see how plants v zombies on the iphone can be better than playing it on steam with a mouse. And there's no way anything controls better than a mouse/kb for peggle.

I can see how you'd say that, but Ghost Recon isn't exactly an action-heavy game. There wouldn't be any problem with touch controls.

Title: Re: Black Friday of "It's $10 but will I actually ever play it?" - Deals & Opinions
Post by: Bebpo on November 25, 2011, 12:56:55 AM: Bought both. I really really try to be Steam only to have my PC collection in one place, but there's no way steam achievements, steam friends lists, and having it in your steam games list is worth an additional $25. Eventually when both Batman games are $5 on steam I'll rebuy them down the line to have in the steam collection.

I don't play multiplayer games, I don't really play shooters, I've never played a Battlefield game before, I don't play CoD online. But damn it, the graphics in BF3 are too good to pass up giving the game a shot. Will run through the supposedly mediocre campaign for the visuals and play a few matches for the visuals and get my $30 worth.
Title: Re: Black Friday of "It's $10 but will I actually ever play it?" - Deals & Opinions
Post by: iconoclast on November 25, 2011, 02:41:04 AM: Tempted to get Batman. I was waiting for a sale on the PC version, but I didn't think it would come so quickly. Got too many games to play right now, but I don't know if it's going to be <$25 again any time soon. :-\

Post by: Bebpo on November 25, 2011, 03:16:01 AM: Got in on the $199 PS3 bundle at amazon, so no tax/shipping, just $199 straight for 160gig + 2 games. Phew. Was worried if I'd be able to get one and it really is the best replacement solution since my launch PS3 died last week. It's too bad the Ratchet All-4-One demo was pretty sucky, since I like Ratchet and it'd be nice to get a game I'd actually play (already own LBP2 so giving it away).

It's kind of funny since last November my X360 died and I got a replacement X360S during BF from Amazon as well.

Hope this is the last year in a row I need to replace my systems with BF ones!

- iPod Touch 32GB $300 w/ $50 GC (Toys R Us)

Nothing else I want... might try GameStop in the morning and check their Gamecube games out. And a retro store here is doing $1 strategy guides, maybe I can cherry pick some RPG books.

Maybe Rayman Origins? Not really feeling it, I'm sure it will drop quick.

Post by: Bebpo on November 25, 2011, 03:57:08 AM: I bought Rayman, I'm not sure why, $40 wasn't a great deal. But I really like the art and wouldn't mind supporting Ancel. Then again I hate supporting Ubisoft. Oh well.

8.99 and out of stock if you're talking about PSP version, 19.99 and in stock with free shipping for PS3/360.

I started it at my sister's place last December during my winter break, and will probably just finish her copy in January, when I'm back in Cali. It's definitely fun, and has plenty to play through and do.

I just rented MW3 because i wanted to blast through $50 million dollars worth of game content in a 6-hour sitting. Shit cost me two bucks. Fuck multiplayer, I get enough people calling me a cigarillo in my life. God bless America!

Holy shit I just realized what a godsend Redbox is for short-ass games. I just rented MW3 because i wanted to blast through $50 million dollars worth of game content in a 6-hour sitting.

That's what I did with X-men Destiny. Pretty sweet deal.

yup, I went that route for Uncharted 3. so much easier than Blockbuster or Gamefly. you can even rent it online then go pick it up at the store!

8.99 and out of stock if you're talking about PSP version, 19.99 and in stock with free shipping for PS3/360.

I started it at my sister's place last December during my winter break, and will probably just finish her copy in January, when I'm back in Cali. It's definitely fun, and has plenty to play through and do.
Nah 360 version. That sucks. It must have been a Friday only deal.

If you liked Bioshock 1 and were disappointed by Bioshock 2, it's still worth checking out. Minerva's Den is great. Redeemed the existence of Bioshock 2.

I found one this morning driving out. I feel dumb for not buying another. I might try again on my way back.

Post by: iconoclast on November 28, 2011, 02:13:11 PM: Bunch of lame deals this year; I only got Metal Gear HD for $30. I almost bought the Gundemonium Collection for $5 as well, but fuck it. Hopefully some Capcom games on Steam are on sale for the holidays.

Post by: Don Flamenco on November 28, 2011, 04:06:21 PM: Amazon finally chilling out on being awesome, ready to become average. Pretty obvious their plan was to loss lead on games for a couple years after starting selling them directly...but it's funny to see internet gamer dudes feel "betrayed" by a business.

All I wanted was a Deus Ex deal, ps3 version for $19.99 or less (um...if you wanna sell it to me) but it didn't have a single sale.
