The Video Game Acquisitions Thread

Mate, it absolutely SMASHES Battlefield 3. Running everything on Ultra and it's smooth as silk. Having not seen BF3 prior to this, I'm astounded at the visual quality, it's like seeing Soul Calibur for the first time on Dreamcast. Simply awesome!

Hehe, thought as much and glad that it's the case dude.

Latest (and probably final for a while, lol) purchase for the ol' PC gaming experience is this Leopold FC700R tenkeyless mechanical keyboard with brown switches and custom wasd and esc key/s. After using this thing at work all day and tonight with BF3, I can safely say I won't be using normal crappy rubber domed keyboards ever again if I can help it. Mechanical keyboards FTMFW!!

I'm a happy Hursticon :

Also picked up the original 2001 Diablo 1 & 2 (Plus Mission Pack) Battlechest along with a separate acquisition of Diablo 1's "Hellfire" Mission Pack, now to find the time to re-play through the lot before finally hitting Diablo III that has been collecting dust for months!

Also, bought from GOG.com the Carmageddon Max Pack; also backed Stainless Games (via Paypal) for their upcoming Carmageddon: Reincarnation game which lands via Steam & Hardcopy in February of 2013!

Thoughts? I've only downloaded the demo and I'm on the fence as to whether or not I'll get it.

Favourite in the series next to 2 for me, why it's received such negative reviews is baffling to me. Once you start taking advantage of the new gameplay mechanics including tackling and sliding, counters, melee, ground shots, diving and rolling, environment-based damage etc. the game hits a whole new level of awesome for the series. Leon's campaign (Professional mode) is some of the most fun I've had this year in terms of gaming. Can't recommend it enough!

Picked up my pre-orders of Pokemon Black and White 2 from ebgames, price matched jbhifi's $44 each, ebgames original price was $59.95, because i price matched, i lose the special edition coin that comes with both, but heck if a tiny coin warrants an extra $16 each.
