Games Acquired 2017

The Darkness was really cool at the time, I wonder if it holds up. Definitely had some good Deus Ex elements and a cool world/story. The sequel on the other hand... I wasn't a big fan of. From what I remember Starbreeze (Riddick devs) made the first but not the second, so it definitely had a different feel. Seemed like the devs for 2 wanted to glorify the gore and violence above all else, and the campaign was super short, with a cliffhanger ending and doesn't seem like we'll see another one.

Fun fact, I think the lead singer of Faith No More voices "The Darkness".

Wolfenstein 2009 is one of the only FPS games I've ever played that made me legit nauseous because of this weird, blue tint visual effect you have to constantly use. It's a Raven Software game... they're usually a miss for me, but if you haven't gotten this one Exhum, you need it.

I think you wanted more discussions in this thread so hope you don't mind my opinions on your purchases. In the end, it's hard to complain about $10 games.

Hmmm, I feel quite the opposite, I've enjoyed every Raven FPS I've played, maybe with the exception of ShadowCaster, but that wasn't a pure FPS to be fair.

Don't mind opinions at all. This thread could certainly use more discussion... why we bought the game we bought for example. I bought Wolfenstein 2009 because it's a Raven FPS I've always been interested in, but kept forgetting to nab. Just like The Darkness, trying to go back and acquire those early life 360 FPS entries that looked interesting but then I forgot all about. And I do have a copy of Singularity, or at least, I think I do. My 360/PS3 games are still packed up, but I'll know soon.

I've played both The Darkness and Wolfenstein '09 before, but neither could really hold my attention. That might've been because I'd gotten them on console though. Shooters tend to hold my attention much easier on PC because I'm so much more used to the controls.

I found a copy of Blood Bowl for the 360 yesterday! It wasn't why I'd stopped by the Gamestahp at all, so it was a very fun surprise :3

Now I FINALLY have every Blood Bowl version that's been released for vidja gaems! (PSP, 360, PC, and PS4 for Blood Bowl II)! *drools over Blood Bowl-y goodness*

I actually stopped by there because I wanted a PS3-Eye Camera (which they sell for four bucks) because I really wanna be able to try Kung Fu Rider. Move controllers are so expensive again though

I may just try and borrow one from my friend next weekend so I can just play it, finish it/get bored of it and call it a day. I'll wait until people stop caring about PSVR so Move goes down in price again

If you want to try something interesting pick this up it's been stuck at $9.99 forever and comes with a spare PS3 eye camera.

Also out of the games I've played so far with the move probably one of my favorites is The Shoot it's a pretty fun shooting gallery game that works very well with the move controls.

In:

More Limited Run Games. Probably only going to keep The Swapper (PS4) the others don't really interest me. Been buying them all since the policy change to an upgrade from bubble mailers to boxes if you buy multiple games at least 1 of which is PS4. Also maybe down the road in a few months or so when demand goes up I can trade the extras for something else I want or flip them to lower or negate the cost of the copy I kept.
94. The Swapper (PS4) $26.36
95. The Swapper (Vita) $26.36
96. Curses and Chaos (PS4) $26.36
97. Curses and Chaos (Vita) $26.36

Bestbuy had some sweet sales on 3DS games the other day as well so I scored Bravely Second End Layer, Fire Emblem Fates Conquest, and Pokemon Omega Ruby for $16 each. Still need to pick up Bravely default but if figure Second probably won't drop any lower then this. Would have rather had Birthright instead of Conquest since it's got a little easier learning curve but I guess I can always get the digital versions at a rebate since I have conquest still kicking myself for letting myself cancel the special edition preorder which had both games plus dlc on one cart. Finally I'm a pokemon junkie so I like to pick up at least one version of each iteration of the series when I find them cheap.

98. Bravely Second End Layer (3DS) $ 16.94
99. Pokemon Omega Ruby (3DS) $16.94
100. Fire Emblem Fates Conquest (3DS) $16.94

Common misconception, actually. The special edition does not come with the Revelations DLC on the cartridge. It came with the ability to download it to your 3DS for free (until a certain date), but it only has conquest and birthright on the cartridge itself.

Well I already bought the Eye Camera (albeit I can return it), although Eye of the Beholder Judgement does look interesting, for sure. What kind of game is it? Is it any fun?

It's a card game that utilizes the eye camera to display representations of the cards on the screen. It comes with a play mat, camera stand, a starter deck, and I believe one booster pack. Sadly online is dead but it does have CPU versus and local play if you can find someone to play with. Only downside is I don't think you can earn cards in game so you have to buy booster packs/decks which are cheap but since online is dead not really worth grabbing unless you have friends interested in playing.

Here is the trailer.

Looking around online you can print cards and the camera will pick them up as legit so you could always go that route if you got into it and didn't want to shell out for the legit stuff.

Amazon Warehouse actually has them Like New for $5.66, so I'll gladly take a 2 buck starter pack for something like this (and return this somewhat suspect lookin' used camera thing I bought). I'm always on the lookout for fun 2-player card games to play (my brother loves them when he's over). Thanks for the recommendation, Fragems

I'm not sure about the warehouse ones they are "factory sealed" which more often then not means they put some fresh shrink wrap on it in their warehouse. That being said if anything isn't there you could always return it.
