There's no way you get $30 for Fallout 3, considering that is what it sells for used and GOTY edition is currently out.

So I may or may not be able to score $10 more (most likely not), and will have to ship said games out, instead of one quick transaction for approximately the same value at the place where I pickup my copy of a new game.

I'm not necessarily an advocate of trades and I trade in my stuff sparingly, for good reason, but when it makes sense, I'll bite.

Is there any trade-in deals going on right now? I got a stack of games here I want to dump off and get Mangina Carta 2

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #122 on:** October 12, 2009, 03:40:12 PM »

I sold my copy of Fallout 3 the other week on Amazon Marketplace for $32. People are stupid.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #123 on:** October 12, 2009, 03:45:03 PM »

Well, if you can really sell it on Amazon for $30+, that's pretty awesome.

Looks like you can get an extra 25% on your trade-ins towards certain titles, but Mangina Carta 2 isn't one of them. There's another where you get and extra $10 in credit if you trade in 3 games, or an extra $20 if you trade in 4. Although it only applies to X360, PS3 and Wii games, and excludes crap like old sports and Barbie games that would trade in for $2 or less. I'm sure given your tastes you've got a pile of crap that would qualify.

@ onechanbara

If it were me I'd sell Batman online and trade the others in in groups of 4 and 3 so that you can max out your extra trade-in credit.

So what the hell is going on with this game on NeoGAF? The game appears to have suddenly gained an obnoxious defense force, which must have given birth to a troll force, or is it the other way around? At worst, the game seems a bit blah, hardly something that would inspire the kind of passion these guys have for, or against it.

What Twerd said. Tim's games are always entertaining. Psychonauts gets bashed by some, but I really liked it and a lot of reviewers also seemed to like it plenty, and yet the game sold for shit. A lot of people who are fans of Psychonauts are in fear that Brutal Legend will get the same treatment: epic reviews, piss-ant sales. It would be nice to have a games marketplace where more than half the titles are not licensed properties, promoting other media. Tim's one of the guys that not only brings the originality, but doesn't fumble it at the last few yards prior to launch.

In other words it's the way every single game on GAF is received...

I'm quite excited for it myself.

People can bash Psychonauts, but I felt the game had such creative level design in some places (The Milkman Conspiracy, Black Velvet, the Napoleon level, Goggalor) that I felt that made up for the poor platforming.

I've played every game that has Schafer's name in the credits and I enjoy each and every one.

Game rocks. Freeing the army and sending them off to bash heads for the first time was pretty awesome.

Heavy metal!

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #146 on:** October 13, 2009, 05:02:57 PM »

I'm just about to fight my first big set piece battle- right after you help Ophelia get weapons for the Razor Girls.

Quick impressions so far:

-The world is awesome to look at. While the game is not the most impressive in the graphics department, all of the metal iconography all over the place, the cool weather effects and stuff like flaming meteors falling in the distance make this a winner.
-The combat is kind of simplistic, but the game does a good job so far of giving you different stuff to do to keep things varied. Utilizing your headbangers and other allies in battle helps.
-I'm pretty sure that this is the best voiceover work I've seen in any game... ever. Everyone fits perfectly for their role and the dialog is, as always, top notch. Lars is a bit of a ponce, but everyone else is awesome.
-The Metal Forge is bad ass, and so is Ozzy. Upgrades are cool.
-The Face Melter solo is as awesome as you'd think.

My only real complaints are that I can see the side missions getting repetitive, since the bulk of them seem to be ambushes, and that as far as I can tell you can't turn rumble off. I hate wasting my batteries.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #147 on:** October 13, 2009, 05:12:24 PM »

I'm not that far, but I like what I see.

Also, best soundtrack ever?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #148 on:** October 13, 2009, 05:23:29 PM »

Easily the best soundtrack ever, and I only have like 1/4 of it unlocked so far.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #149 on:** October 13, 2009, 07:04:54 PM »

I did that big stage battle, Triumph - that was pretty awesome. Once I get everything down, this could potentially be a lot of fun in multiplayer methinks.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #150 on:** October 13, 2009, 07:18:31 PM »

Yeah I just got done with that a bit ago myself. It was a lot of fun- although it's pretty powerful to be able to run into the middle of a group of enemies and pull of the face melter solo. Those ranged girls on the other side are a pain in the ass, tho. I think playing multiplayer in teams could be a lot of fun.

Himu · « **Reply #151 on:** October 13, 2009, 07:27:42 PM »

You can UNLOCK the soundtrack?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #152 on:** October 13, 2009, 07:29:56 PM »

You only start out with so many songs to play while you're driving around- you find others littered around the countryside like so many relics.

Also, does what get old? The game or the cursing? No to both so far.

Himu · « **Reply #155 on:** October 13, 2009, 07:46:59 PM »

Because hearing cuss words isn't funnier than hearing bleeped words past the age of 10.

I cuss all the time; I don't give a shit. But I plan on playing BL with the cuss word filter on for a few chuckles.
