Ah... the post your recent purchases thread. Whether adding to your back log, pre-ordering a new game, or buy something retro... post up your recent purchases!
-
2 play and charge kits for 360
2 360 battery packs
the fractured but whole for ps4
-
Received in the mailbox today, Fatal Fury 2 for the Sega Genesis. Had my tail whipped tonight!! :P
-
Uncharted Collection PS4 - man... I've been wanted to break this out forever. Can't wait to dig in!s

Earlier this morning I found a game cube with a bunch of games 3 n64 controls, 1 3rd party gcn controller, and a bunch of those plug into your tv controller / game combos for 12 bucks.
The games are crap, except for a complete copy of Metroid prime, and the gamecube was dirty and missing the center plastic piece on top that says Nintendo. Right now everything is being stored away, but when I get some time i'm going to completely disassemble and clean it up. The kid took great care of it as all the games had the cases and the instructions, there was nothing sticky on any of the games or consoles, and there was only one scratch on the console. I can't believe the condition it was in to be that dirty.
Outside of that I went to Toys R' Us today to check out the going out of business sale and walked away with a play and charge kit for my xbone as well as a copy of the Zelda collector's edition of monopoly.

Blazing Star (Neo Geo) for the switch... time to post up some SHMUP MADNESS!

Ooo... I wonder if we should do something board game related on the boards? thoughts? Zelda Collectors edition of Monopoly sounds pretty cool. I have an older Nintendo edition that was awesome.
and $12 buck... prime is a pretty good game... I would like to revisit that game.
-
I love board games. Monopoly is an all time favorite and I've tried to get every video game edition of it I can. I've been meaning to pick up the Nintendo version for a while now. The monopoly gamer edition is awesome, and I've got the Mario kart gamer edition but haven't managed to play yet. Finding a group of adults with enough time to sit down and play a board game is difficult
-
Are these supposed to be game purchases? Because I just bought some hair gel from Amazon today haha.
Game-wise...last purchase was probably Dying Light I think.

Lol. Good call - so I edited the 1st post title to include gaming.
Click the links here to buy that hair gel lol. We get credit for that as well. Pretty much for anything amazon related after clicking our links.
This post also has gaming added... so if replying now it should have gaming added to the title.

@targetrasp and everyone else - I created a topic in suggestions for board game category and board:

Today's Haul!
Tatsunoko vs. CAPCOM for the Wii and a GameShark Pro 3.3 for the N64.
Nice! I didn't know they made tatsunoko VA Capcom for the wii... there's a lot of games that went under the radar though.
-
Did it come out on any other console?
This game alone has brought me back to the Wii
-

From what I can see... it was release for the arcade and Nintendo Wii

Found skylanders super charger starter set for ps3 at Ross for 5bucks
-
Picked up Battlefield 1 with the premium pass as it was going pretty cheap at the moment and I have been curious about it since release but I went with Call of Duty WW2.
Been playing it with a few friends and its actually pretty good
-
Found skylanders super charger starter set for ps3 at Ross for 5bucks
Lucky! I would've bought that for $5 - We don't have a Ross around here.
@Aya-Kun seems like we need a Battlefield 1 topic... though I'm surprised there is still a fan base.
-
Lego marvel super heroes - PS4. Yes. Another Lego game lol
-
How do you like it? It didn't seem to appeal to me as much as the other comic / movie lego games.
I just added some older stuff to my collection:
halo
gta san andreas
destroy all humans
call of duty 3
fable
fable 3
gta 3
gta vice city
Morrowind
Oblivion
Jade Empire
metal gear sold 2
various skylanders figures
-
@targetrasp I haven't broke it out yet. We are trying to finish Lego Jurassic Park and I didn't have much time to play anything this week.
I DID however buy Call of Duty WW 2 on sale - I saw you were playing it. Maybe we need to hit up some multiplayer. I have yet to open it lol though.
-
sweet, I've yet to take it online, anytime.
-
I just picked up used copies of Final Fantasy Type 0 and Tales of Berseria. When I'll actually get to them, I'm not sure. ;D
-
4 for $10.00 at game stop net me
Call of Duty MW 2 (didn't realize I still had a copy of it laying around)
XCOM Enemy Within
Call of Duty MW 3
Kameo Elements of power
all for the 360.
thanks to @retro junkie talking about these games in another thread, I bought copies of project x zone 1 and 2 also
-
Nice Finds @targetrasp and @Mai Valentine
Still need to install COD WW2........... ...... .. .. .. .. .
Bought Legend of Zelda Tri-force heroes - 3Ds. It's on amazon for $19 - I figure that'll be one to also appreciate lol... though I'll still open and play it. :))
-
tri-force heroes didn't keep me like most Zelda games do. I bought it on a whim walking through Target. I'd never heard of it, had no idea a new Zelda was coming out, and someone said, "hey new Zelda."
I grabbed it, took it home, played it for a few days, put it up. It was Zelda game sans story and as much as I tend to skip through dialogue it's weird and unsettling not having to do that in a Zelda game.
-
Lol this thing that wastes my time and I always have to skip... is not there... and that's unsettling.
Now I'm having 2nd thoughts about buying
-
play it, you'll get your money out of it. It was pretty cool, I'm just insanely unfocused, something has to be an 11 / 10 to get me to sit down with it more than a few times anymore. I only beat WW2's normal campaign because my son was ahead of me and giving me a hard time. Burnout, Ni No Kuni 2, Monster Hunter, Horizon Zero Dawn, Secret of Mana, Sea of Thieves, have all been played once or twice and put down - Tri Force heroes is in good company!
-
More purchases...
Puzzle and Dragons + Puzzle and Dragons Super Mario Bros (sucks)
Rodea the Sky Soldier (looks like it going to suck)
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (trying to get them all so I can play in order)
The Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventures (really wanna play around with the Gameboy link cables)
Suikoden
Golden Sun (finally found the game reasonably prices, I lost my copy when the game first came out, I still have original box and book, it skyrocketed for a while but has since came down)
-
Been on the fence for a while about the Switch but I made up my mind and have bought the console, mario Odyssey, Zelda and Mario Kart
Should be coming today from amazon =3
-
It won't disappoint. We've got one in the house now, I'm waiting until some special edition comes out before I purchase a second. Walmart sells the official dock for 60 so you can set it up in multiple rooms easily anyway, no need for a second unless multiplayer is a priority. Odyssey and Zelda alone will entertain for a hundred hours easily.
-
Just found myself an SNES classic today at Target. :3 I added like 20 additional games to it so now it's got over 40 games. >:3
-
I took advantage of a 4 for $20 sale at Gamestop and got
Troll and I
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare
Metal Gear Solid V
Dungeons 2
-

@Aya-Kun nice! How do you like it? You should post up your experiences and what you like / dislike .. Or topics on games.
@targetrasp what's the dock you're taking about? You should create a topic on that dock. I think I missed it.
@Kinikko - dumb question... but how do you add games?
I bought Lego star wars force awakens on super sale.
My son and I will be tackling it after 100% -ing Lego jurassic park.
-
@Kinikko - dumb question... but how do you add games?
It's like really super easy. http://snesclassicmods.com/how-to-add-more-games-to-snes-classic-mini/
You just download this program and follow the instructions. You add ROMs to it, so I know some people are iffy on the ethics or whatever of that, but it's never bothered me none. XD
You can even install different emulation software and play all kinds of different stuff on it from different consoles. I've not done this kind of stuff though but it seems pretty straightforward if you just follow the instructions.

-
@BLUEVOODU You can buy just the dock for the Nintendo switch so you can use it in different rooms without having to unplug anything. It's pretty much everything that comes with the switch sans handheld for 70ish...
-
@targetrasp ah ok. I thought you meant a different kind of dock or something with cool new functionality. $60 is a little steep imo for the unit.
My mind started racing on cool new functionalities lol
-
ha, nope. I thought 69 was good, since it started out at 100.
actually, you're probably right. It's sat in a box since I bought it. I can't decide where I want it.
-

@Aya-Kun nice! How do you like it? You should post up your experiences and what you like / dislike .. Or topics on games.
@BLUEVOODU I really like it, haven't played as much as I would have wanted, most of the games take time and some times I want something to pick up and put down but what I have played I really liked
On a different note picked up a few things cheap recently that I wanted to add to my collection
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 hd PS4
Kingdom Hearts 2.8 HD PS4
Nier Automata PS4
Not so cheaply but bought a Playstation VR hopefully will come tomorrow can't wait to try it out, other being on the fence but I was speaking with a friend last night who has one
-
@Aya-Kun what is Nier Automata?
How did the vr turn out? Might be a cool new topic!
-
They marked down all the Playstation VR real cheap, $150, at my local Walmart a couple of months ago. They sold them all out. And they haven't replaced them.
I sort of wonder how a racing game would be on one.
-
I got two of the NES Classic Minis, an extra controller, and some controller extensions. I'll put one in a protective case and / or have it graded like I did with the snes classic and play with one.
-
A couple weeks ago we sold a bunch of our old stuff we didn't need and got a PSVR with most of the games they have out for it. Jacob loves it, and it is pretty cool. I just need to get new glasses cause my nose piece on this pair is broken and it digs into my nose with the VR on.
-
@BLUEVOODU
Nier Automata is this, its kinda a squeal to Nier that came out in 2010 I loved the original, and I played the beta of this a while back but never had a chance to pick it up. It kept its price really well and only recently went down in the sale.
(https://s1.thcdn.com/productimg/600/600/11136861-1694491816650895.jpg)
I love my VR no regrets on buying it, there seems to be some really good games out there and there pretty fun, was one of the VR games that made me feel a bit sickish but other wise no problems
Did play until dawn rush of blood and I love my horror films and games but even this freaked the shit out of me at times, especially when the creature is far away one moment and then 2 inches away from your face, gets the heart racing thats for sure XD
Recently purchased Attack on Titan 2: Wings of Freedom
-
Found The limited edition version of Tekken 6 for the 360 at a yard sale for $7.00 CIB. The box was and controller was in good shape but the game was unopened. I also bought GTA 5, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Xcom, and Skyrim for $2.00 each. I've already got all the games but those were in almost pristine shape.
Oddly enough the arcade stick smells musty or smoky while the games and even the box the stick came in doesn't. I guess it'll go in the clean and repair pile with that filthy gamecube i picked up a little while back.
-
Just picked up Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS and Detroit: Become Human both used today after trading a handful of crap I don't play anymore.
-
@targetrasp you seem to be a magnet for good deals. You and @retro junkie
@Aya-Kun Thakn you for posting that... it took me a bit to see the reply. That looks pretty interesting - I read up a bit online as well. Interesting art style... and buh... some of those robots have creepy faces lol.
-
Bought Okami HD, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, and Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book with a coupon I had with my Power up points at Gamestop. Just went there to preorder Spiderman and ended up getting 3 other games. XD Only ended up paying about $10 each for those though with all my coupons.
-
OOoo… Okami HD. That's a pretty good game. I dig it.
I tried to buy Psyvariar on the Switch... Pre-order that is. However, they took it down. GRrrr.
-
I picked up the Shenmue I & II collection and Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Collection for PS4. I'm happy to see that HZD has dropped in price, I've been wanting to play it for a while. Mostly because of the graphic fidelity.
-
Horizon Zero Dawn - we need a topic. lol ;D DAngit @CreepinDeth … it's less than $20. This makes me want to buy it.
Gaming backlog fodder?!? Or CDG Multiplayer gaming fodder? Nevermind… just noticed it's single player only. I still may get it … <$20 = hard to not buy.
-
Horizon Zero Dawn - we need a topic. lol ;D DAngit @CreepinDeth … it's less than $20. This makes me want to buy it.
It was $17 last week both digitally and physically. Impulse buy for me at that point.
And yeah, a topic would be great. Reading and watching the devs talk about the tech that went behind this game is really interesting to me.
-
yup... I just Impulse bought it as well... thanks for helping me fall off the cliff.
-
yup... I just Impulse bought it as well... thanks for helping me fall off the cliff.
Ha! Well, at this point, happy gaming! ;D
-
I bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider early edition with the cool steelbook:
Chickendinnergaming - Shadow of the Tomb Raider Topic (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=418.0)
This game was rated 9/10 by IGN... more posting about that soon. The steelbook design is pretty cool as well - as noted in the above topic.
-
This may be a blast-from-the-past for some. But I just recently purchased,
Star Ocean (with English patch, now playing)
Sailor Moon
Doom Troopers
The Firemen
Terranigma
Iron Commando
Zelda 8n1 (Hacked Zelda games on cart)
Ganpupu: Gunman's Proof
Nightmare Busters
Gourmet Sentai
Phazon (Hacked Metroid)
Edono Kiba
Captain Commando
Breath of Fire
Metal Warriors
Skyblazer
Ghost Chaser Densei
Magic Knight Rayearth (English patch)
Dragon Quest 6
All SNES games. And one NES that I can hardly wait for Final Fantasy 7. I have the box already, still waiting for the game.
(https://i.imgur.com/asgzP7x.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/87M3fVg.jpg)
The games have started pouring in. I love it when it is like this!
-
I picked up some cheap stuff from Gamestops retro selection..
Spider-Man and the X-Men Arcades Revenge
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
Mario Party Advance
Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy Tactics
Game and Watch Gallery 4
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Mortal Kombat 3
Lots of PS1 and GBA stuff, but a few snes and even one n64 cartridge, all under $4.00 except for Mario advance, it was 6
Also just picked up Shenmue 1&2 for ps4 and preordered the neo mini w/ 2 gamepads
-
You guys both scored some awesome games. lol.... Captain Commando. I have found memories of that game. I Still have my copy.
@targetrasp I have 1 question - How did you get Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 as "cheap stuff?" I thought that was still expensive... ? And Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles. I Remember that game.
-
I bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider early edition with the cool steelbook:
Chickendinnergaming - Shadow of the Tomb Raider Topic (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=418.0)
This game was rated 9/10 by IGN... more posting about that soon. The steelbook design is pretty cool as well - as noted in the above topic.
Game looks amazing. Let us know how it is.
-
@BLUEVOODU
https://www.gamestop.com/games/super-mario-world-super-mario-advance-2/18403
it's gone up a little since I bought it but still well under 10 - I paid 3.99 less rewards member discount
-
@CreepinDeth - Will Do! I have some screenshots of the case to load up. I received the game a day early ... should've been 2 days. I'll post a topic on this soon - but don't order other stuff with your pre-orders LOL. They can delay the rest of your order.
@targetrasp Wow... have those games come down in price? For awhile... I thought they were a lot higher. Maybe I'm only thinking of Super Mario Advance 4 - Super Mario Bros. 3.... but I could've sworn others skyrocketed in price.
-
The GBA stuff is sub $10.00... I've not looked at (or for) Yoshi's Island so I'm not sure (I hate that game) if it's high.
The SNES Mario allstars with Super Mario world is still a little high but the gba stuff is dirt cheap it seems. Even stuff like Golden Sun is super reasonable. I don't know what happened but i'm stocking up on GBA as much as I can.
-
@targetrasp and @retro junkie --> If it's that cheap right now, I would stock up on as much complete as possible. I'm going to look around as well for deals.
There are MANY good GameBoy Advance Games worth adding to a collection.
-
complete is the problem, the only thing I can ever find is cart only.
-
Yeah. That's always been the issue with used DS, gba, Game Boy, and other handheld / mobile formats. They aren't complete.
Although when a kid loses their game but still has the original materials for the lost one... it comes in handy lol
-
I just grabbed Dragon Crown Pro for the ps4. I knew nothing of the game other than the steelbook case looked awesome
-
Interesting @targetrasp … It somewhat looks like Muramasa - art style wise.
-
some youtube reviewer called it 2d Diablo... I thought it looked like that DnD sidescroller beat-em-up.
I'll not touch it for a long time, Zelda has taken every free minute
-
A ton of preorders showed up in the last few weeks
Black Ops 4
Starlink - battle for atlas
C64 Mini
NEO GEO Mini International
I also picked up a few used items
some sub $2.00 retro stuff - Tetris Plus, Namco Museum 64, Namco Museum vol 3, Fable, Mortal Kombat 2
And I deceided to catch up on Smash Brothers; Super Smash Bros, and Brawl should be delivered tomorrow as well as Super Mario 3d land (to replace the disc a third time)
-
Nice @targetrasp I'm curious how you like the smash stuff after revisiting.
I bought:
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - ps4 (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=442)
Titanfall 2 Ps4.
I'd really like to get a few people from here on Titanfall 2 for the Playstation 4. (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=445.0) Such a great game
-
After the butt kicking I got on the first Titanfall I don't know that i'd even give the second one a shot.
-
LOL @targetrasp was It that bad?
-
Somehow I was able to download it on Origin and play for a while. I didn't get a kill, I couldn't stay in a titan, I couldn't do anything except for die. I might as well have been holding the controller with my feet.
Since I've had kids, started wearing suits to work, lost touch with most of my friends, my gaming prowess (what little I had) has diminished. Despite that, even jumping right into a multiplayer game I'll get a few kills. I was so horrible and had such a rough go at it, I never picked the game up again.
-
LOL... that is a bit rough, I hear you. I've ran into a couple other games where that's happened and understand the feels. I'm still rocking Titanfall 2 right now. The game was played for about 4 hours on Saturday night... straight. Best $9 I spent in awhile.
-
Alright - I'm still loving Titanfall 2 (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=445.0) AND Call of Duty Black Ops 4 for the Playstation 4 (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=442.0).
However, I bought Blue Rider for the Playstation 4. It's indeed SHMUP... and I'll post a topic on it soon.
Keep the thread going!
-
I picked up the SNK 40th anniversary collection for the switch over the weekend. There's already a topic in the switch section if anyone wants to know how blah the game really is
-
I bought a 2ds XL the other day. I wanted something smaller than my giant 3DS XL. The one I got is purple, so double bonus.
-
holy holiday sales batman...
diablo 3 switch, golf story switch, Spider-Man ps4, wasteland 2 xbone, pilots weapons and ships for starlink
-
Okay.... this is awkward. My Wii died on me. >:( Now I can't play Tatsunoko vs Capcom!!! Whats a gamer to do in this situation. After much reading, youtube videos, and fidgeting, I did the only thing I could do. Decided the best replacement for my Wii would be a Wii U. SO.......... I purchased one and it should be on its way to arrive next week unless the Holidays throws a monkey wrench in there somewhere. Also picked up Mario 3D land and Star Fox Zero. I am going to make a list of games. Zelda Breath of the Wild will be the first on that list. ;)
-

Diablo 3 Switch was on Sale?!?!
@retro junkie That's a bummer about your Wii. Welcome to the Wii U though! It's a pretty good system. I haven't picked up Star Fox yet... not sure how good it is. We should have a topic on that. You just missed the Zleda: Breath of the Wild sale for the Wii U. They were blown out... not sure if there are any stores with it in new. You can find it used still... but the price (I think) is about ready to go up.
Don't forget Super Mario Maker for the Wii U (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=107.0). That's Hours of fun and you can still upload / play people's levels. There are troll levels though.
-
Diablo 3 was 40 at BestBuy for a while
-
As mentioned in @retro junkie post My Wii U Experience (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=535)… I ended up buying Starfox for the Wii U. I Also ended up picking up a special edition steel book version of Shadow of War for the PS4. I love Shadow of Mordor.... I'll post on Shadow of War in the near future.
-
All Wii U stuff as listed elsewhere, this,
Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Super Mario 3D World
Star Fox Zero
Star Fox Guard
Nintendoland
Skylanders Giants
Disney Infinity 3.0
Skylanders Swap Force
The Lego Movie
Skylanders Trap Team
Hyrule Warriors
Xenoblade Chronicles
Sonic All Star Racing
-
Picked up RE2 Remake on Steam. Currently testing it out and tweaking the settings. I'm getting massive drops in framerate during cutscenes and gameplay isn't a locked 60FPS at 1080p even though I exceed the Recommended Settings.
Hopefully it's something that can be fixed on my end since I don't want to wait for a patch to play.
Update: I fixed the issue. I had installed the game on my mechanical hard drive. I reinstalled it on my SSD and the game runs like butter with nearly all settings Maxed out at 1080p.
-
Funny how you get distracted when someone you work around gets interested in a console you own. Here I just got a Wii U and I am purchasing Gamecube games. These are my recent pickups. The opened games have no cover art. I am beginning to suspect that the Batman Begins cover art is not original. Reproduction maybe? ;)
(https://i.imgur.com/CXZ5zeP.gif)
Driven
Batman Begins (had no idea this game existed)
Baten Kaitos
Capcom vs SNK 2 EO (had no idea this game existed- where was I?)
A series of Unfortunate Events
Evolution Worlds
Cars
Odama ( i need a gamecube mic for this one)
Waverace Blue Storm (I sort of like the N64 one better)
-
OH man... I COMPLETELY forgot about Odama. That was a fun game.
Shockingly … you can still get it new and complete for about $27:
https://www.amazon.com/Odama-Microphone-Gamecube/dp/B000CC5J52/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=odama+gamecube&qid=1549935635&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spell
I cannot believe this game isn't more... as it was the rage for the longest time. How do you like it, @retro junkie ? Get the mic yet? Also... how is the series of unfortunate events?
@CreepinDeth So the SSD fixed all the issues? That's interesting as generally drives as the Western Digital Black perform well.
I FINALLY picked up my Axiom Verge Multiverse Collectors Edition for the PlayStation Vita. (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=464.0) Click to see story... sigh... Gamestop. BUT I GOT IT!
PS - we need more specific posts on these games.

Yeah, it fixed the issue. Looks like the game streams a lot of assets. My hard drive is a tad old but it's not a Black drive. It might be a Green Drive actually. Either way, I saw one other person over at the resetera forums experience this so depending on age/type of drive, you're better off just installing on an SSD.

I purchased Nier Automata on Steam, mostly because the next expansion of FFXIV is going to have a crossover raid, but also because I've heard great things about Nier anyway. I haven't played much of it because PC controls are kind of funky, so I've been meaning to use a PS4 controller but just haven't gotten around to it.
-
I just grabbed Grandia 2 for the Dreamcast and Dragon Warrior 7 for the psx.
-
I found a complete copy of GTA 4 for the ps3 at a thrift store for 2 bucks and impulse bought Kingdom Hearts - The Story so Far - after hearing a coworker rave about the newest Kingdom Hearts game. Still waiting for the game back log tracker @BLUEVOODU
-
LOL.... yeah … Gaming back log tracker... I need to get that moving forward... though there are a few hurdles right now.
I bought 2 Lego Ninjago games for the PlayStation Vita. I plan to platinum them both... been stalled on Lego Hobbit for a bit.
-
Nier: Automata!
-
woot! How is it @Grindspine ?
I pre-ordered The new Call of Duty.
-
I picked up the Disney afternoon collection and Aerea during the last playstation store sale pretty cheap... Great games, infuriating at times but fun.
-
@targetrasp - what games are included in the Disney collection?
-
ducktales 1-2, chip and dale Rescue rangers 1 -2, tale spin, and darkwing duck.
it scratches that NES era side-scroller itch
-
For background noise I left YouTube on. It got stuck on this video game pickup videos that Metal Jesus and Radical Reggie do together. They must have mentioned hundreds of games but two made me stop what I was doing and pay attention, and of course I bought them both this weekend.
Reggie said Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology for the 3ds was Chrono Trigger good. Metal Jesus mentioned Victor Vran had Motorhead in it... that's all it took...
Outside of that I picked up Anthem for ps4 and tales of vesperia for switch cheap last week.
-
@targetrasp I just picked up a hand full of games for the middle of October. I will be taking some time off and wanted some new stuff to mess with. One of those titles is "Radiant Historia" for the DS. It has some good reviews too. I did not realize there was a second one for the 3DS. If I like this one then I will look to pick that pone up too.
Other games in my recent pick up,
Monster Hunter Stories-3DS
Yo-Kai Watch-3DS
Yo-Kai Watch 2-3DS
Contact
Monster Tale
I will find it interesting just which one grabs my full attention.
-
@retro junkie
It's the same game with a lot more story and a better resolution...
If you are going to play both you're doing it in the right order but the second is all of the first and then some.
-
Ghostbusters Remastered came out today as a Gamestop exclusive, I picked mine up and plan on playing some Saturday.
-
@targetrasp how much is it? For Playstation 4?
How is it? You should make a topic on this. Multiplayer?
-
Went to play some games today and the tv started blinking. After tons of troubleshooting and expletives I realized either it was the power cord or something inside the television. Instead of pursuing further I went to best buy and bought a tv, just to figure out the dang thing didn't fit in my car.... I didn't get to play crap. I'll get the maintenance engineer to take a long lunch Monday and stick it in his truck..
-
I purchased Gears of War 5 since it was on sale, but I haven't started it yet since I still actually have to finish Gears of War 4. ???
-
I bought a bunch of stuff that I probably wont get to -
Star wars jedi fallen order
bendy and the ink machine
tom Clancy's the division 2
Anthem (the legendary ? edition was 5 bucks, I know the game sucks)
Starlink (toys were 2 for pilots and 5 for ships, I bought all I could)
The Outer Worlds
My vacation was supposed to start this week and i'd purchased all this crap to fool around with, however my vacation was rescinded or at best truncated. I may be able to go in on Monday, fix a bunch of suff, put on our holiday party, and get the rest of the week to chill... here's hoping
-
I officially have over 900 titles on my Steam account. Still can't decide what to play. :(
EDIT: Whoops, meant to post this in the First World Problems thread.
-
I think it applies to both!

Such are the troubles of the modern gamer. :)) Gone are the days when all you could afford was one game. And that one game you played to death until you saved your money for another one.
-
Nier was and is awesome! Since then I did get Modern Warfare, which you know.
I did get Renee an Asus Tuf laptop as well!
-
I purchased Gears of War 5 since it was on sale, but I haven't started it yet since I still actually have to finish Gears of War 4. ???
@Mai Valentine I really want to buy Gears 5 for the PC... I just haven't done it yet. I really like that you only need a silver account to play online with a PC. That's an awesome move and is very attractive for pc gamers that don't really want to buy an Xbone.
@CreepinDeth 1st world problems lol ;D I have the same issues at times.
I really haven't bought anything else gaming wise lately outside modern warfare. I think we bought Luigi's Mansion 3... but that's about it. My time has really be consumed with Super Mario Maker 2 and Modern Warfare. Those 2 are enough and take so much of my time as it is... there is no time for anything else really.
-
I finished outerworlds (freaking great game) so I've started adding to the backlog again...
Steambot Chronicles - I've wanted this for years. I've watched eBay auctions on and off and this game goes 80 plus easy. Someone had an ebay auction for one that was in the low 50's so with about 9 seconds left I bid 77 bucks. The game ran up to 91. BINs on decent copies get listed for 90 to 120. a day later I found an $80 BIN that looked immaculate. I bought it. it's freaking the nicest game I have in my ps2 collection now. I'm thinking someone has had the book and cover reproduced because its shape for its age is too good. I'll have to research but I don't care, the disc alone can go for 80.
Lesser value but still awesome games I also picked up are Mario Maker for the wii u (I've got a copy but this one was in great shape for just a few dollars) The Witch and the Hundred Knight - Revival Edition (I really have a soft spot for Atlus games), Suikoden 4, The Gran Stream Saga, Kingdom Hearts, Grandia 1, 2, xenosaga episode 2, metal gear solid 3, and dawn of mana.
I've really been looking for a reason to refurb an old ps2 and maybe nows my chance. I've kept tons of ide drives and bought network adapters and fat ps2s every time I've seen them out so maybe I can play around with hd loader and skip out on some load times. I faintly remember someone figuring out how to get 1080i out of one but if that doesn't work out I've got a hd link cable that'll do 720p.
-
I saw you playing outerworlds, @targetrasp Sounds like we need a topic on that one ;D
Outside of Call of Duty... I have bought 0 games as of late. I haven't had a chance to play because I've been trying to pass a test... grrrr…
Steambot Chronicles... the name is familiar from a long time ago... but I just cannot remember the game. Those are pretty solid purchases on the rest!
-
Still looking for something to fill that outerwords hole...
I purchased Nier: Automata after listening to every person that's ever played it rave and it didn't grab me. I found fallout 76 and final fantasy XV for five bucks and picked those up as well. Neither are screaming play me...
While I was out I preordered the steelbook version of ff7 as the hype there has been gaining momentum. That may be my next big time sink. In the mean time I may look back at the Switch, I never finished breath of the wild or links awakening
-
I still haven't bought anything since the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare... I have other stuff I need to cover right now. However, I'm really jonesing for some more Lego games. They're fun to play through. On the list right now is the Lego Villains game.
you know who we haven't heard from for awhile - @Strubes ! and @MegaDrive20XX -- what games have you bought lately or been into?
-
speaking of lego, we really need a new lego city undercover.. GTA Lego.... can't beat it
-
In this order:
Animal Crossing New Horizons
Octopath Traveler (it was half off on the eshop!)
Final Fantasy VII Remake
-
speaking of lego, we really need a new lego city undercover.. GTA Lego.... can't beat it
LOL... yes we do.
@Mai Valentine … I really want Animal Crossing New Horizon. I haven't bought anything … I think... since Call of Duty Modern Warfare. I've been on a no buying game kick... even though I really want New Horizon. Right now, we are reduced at work... just being a little smarter with money right now. Normally I'm buying any Animal Crossing 1st day.
-
yard sales have been hard to find with Covid fears, but I was able to get out to a few this last weekend and found some great stuff.
15 old school computer games and pristine copies of the lord of the rings dvds with those collectors cards in tack for 19 bucks (darkseed 2 and a ton of stars wars and star trek stuff was in there)
a 2ds in box for 20, a ds lite for 10, and a ton of ds and 3ds games for 2 bucks each. I found some mario games i was missing, pokemon x and y, and mario party ds
Most of the ds stuff is going (or already is on ebay) but I didn't have mario party ds, pokemon x, mario kart 7 in the red box, mario ds, and mario party ds, so they'll make their way into the collection. I'm still not sure what to do with the old school computer games but there's some cool stuff, star wars galaxies and darkseed would be fun to revisit.
-
I picked up the definitive Tales of Vesperia on Steam since it was on sale for $20.
-
I ended up buying Psyvariar Delta for the Switch... it appears to be a decent Shmup:

Less than $20 right now, I posted this up in the deals section:

@targetrasp how is Hasbro Game Night?
@retro junkie ooo... Ikari Warriors 2. How are you liking that?
I also picked up Doom Eternal for a quick buck. I'm looking into Doom Slayers Collection. I'm wondering if Doom 2 on there is multiplayer... but I Don't think so. I looked up a few things... but it appears only Doom 2016 is multiplayer. I wish Doom2 was Multiplayer lol. @Jack - do you have this?
-
Received an Xbox One S and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I really like the fact that a ton of 360 games are backwards compatible. It's not the newest console but the fact that I can play Red Dead Redemption again is awesome. Also, got the Master Chief collection and Halo 5 with it.
Might sign up for the Ultimate Game Pass. It's very tempting.
-
hasbro game night has three of the best board games by Hasbro, Risk, Trivial Pursuit, and Monopoly, and in retrospect was a stupid purchase since covid. My kids are 10 and 13 so Trivial Pursuit and Risk with them wouldn't be fun, so really all we've been able to pay is Monopoly. I've not taken it online yet, if you can play with friends that'd be awesome (finding friends that have it may be difficult though).
I did venture out and pick up Super Mario 3d World + Bowsers Fury and Ys 10 for the Switch and PS4 respectively. I've not played either yet, looking forward to carving some time out later today for one or both.
