Game Purchases Thread

Yeah I can tell you it's not selling well. Tons of copies sitting.

[Gare]

Well at least you have it on PS4, I'm sure the PC version follows the good old Ubisoft tradition of being a poorly optimized mess.

[Cosmic]

I don't think it sold all that well anyway - I was asking the girl working today about their midnight launch last night, and she said almost no one showed up to grab it
Pretty sure everyone got rubbed the wrong way when this game started getting delayed and increasingly shoddy trailers kept coming out.

This, pretty much. Last year before the delay it looked like an open world Deus Ex sort of game and I was really excited to pick it up with my PS4 at launch. God knows what they've been doing to it for the past 12 months but everything they've shown since then screams bad GTA knock off and it's killed all interest for me.

Actually that was basically everyone Spiders.

Silly me.

That is quite literally what happened with me. It was just like, seething with triple A-ness. Not to say that triple A games can't be good, the longer it took to come out the more generic it felt.

Yep, word on the street is it's a complete disaster on PC. I know metacritic is a lousy judge for games, but the PC users are super pissed over how the game performs.

And now after playing it for about 3 hours, I can say the game is nothing more than a lousy GTA knock off. I'm not gonna be over-dramatic and say it's the worst thing I've ever played, but it's got a load of problems. All the "cool" hacking sequences are horribly scripted, the driving physics are complete shit (i spent about 30 minutes doing chase missions and failing because the cars are totally floaty and weightless, and the camera can't lock on so it's all over the place), and the game looks like a last gen game in every respect. Stiff characters, terrible lip syncing, you name it and it's in this game.
Buyers remorse 101. I'm so going back to renting new games from now on unless they're called Metal Gear or a system exclusive.

Oh wait, let me revise: The order 1886, or more like Order 18.86 FPS has now completely left my radar as well - it got a delay today.

Growlanser Generations (my dive into WD PS2 variants begins)

*googles GG*

Holy shit, there are watch variants!? There's no sane way to built a complete WD variant collection

[Inferno.]

Just picked up a pair of those Sony 2.0 Headphones for PS3/PS4/Vita. £79 from Grainger Games!

And 12 months PS+ as mine was about to expire. Expensive day.

[Cookie Monster]

Batman Arkham Origins Collector's Edition (PS3).

Really cool edition

Not even a little sane. There are ring variants as well, and they are mixed and matched with the watch variants. You have to buy them open too because there is no way to know when they are sealed. No way to know on the PS2 disc variations either.

Here is a picture I took.



The one on the right is the one I bought yesterday. Just the game. The other one I have had for a long time and it's the CE. I really do not wish to get the CE variations. It's at least cheaper and more feasible with Arc the Lad.

[Gare]

Today I randomly remembered how I always wanted to try Soul of Darkness but it wasn't compatible with my lowly DS Lite, only the DSi. Thankfully it was on the 3DS eShop so I picked it up.

Yes, I'm this desperate for a 2D Castlevania on 3DS.

[deadlegion]

Resistance 2.
Killzone 3 collector's edition.

[Inferno.]

I just grabbed Batman Arkham Asylum and City from the PS Store at £3.99 a piece. Really had a hankering to replay Asylum and no doubt I'll want to give City a proper go after that, so yeah.

Also the other day, my mam grabbed a PS3 and GTA V and Little Big Planet.

[John02]

Bought an XBONE last month with:


Titanfall
Dead Rising 3
Madden 25
...COD Ghosts.

I regret two out of the four games.

[Gypsy]

Oh look a game I won't play arrived in the mail.

[meganova]

Ohhh looks nice.

but wait, is that a napkin?
