The Video Game Acquisitions Thread

Likewise on the EB hating front. Forever bothering me with their "Do ya wanna preorder anything" questions and then after being told no, then suggesting things for me to pre-order, THEN offering scratch protection on my discs.

Do blu-rays even scratch?

Do I look like an excitable 12 year old kid who can't look after their stuff?

My biggest hate though is their 7 day return policy. If I am buying a new game, how do I know it's new? It might have been bought new and then returned by someone in that week. In which case the game is actually second hand, but I suspect they put it back as a 'new' one.

Last resort shopping only.

OOooh! I like that. And that is how I shall go from now on! Thanks Kazza!

Oh yeah.

DEADPOOL.

Fifty bucks says I don't get any time to play it tonight after work.

Probably for the best.

I did get time. In fact I MADE time.

Wasn't too bad. Combat is styled on Arkham a bit with free-flow and counters. And guns. Feels a bit unco ATM, but I am sure after a bit more time, it will be pretty cool.

Worts thing so far is a dodgy camera. Running around the inside of a building, trying to shoot some dude, but I kept getting stuck on walls of the level I couldn't see.... Unless I flicked the camera around, in which case I couldn't aim at the guy.

Oh they have sealed copies? Thought all games were opened and discs put away behind the counter?

They do that with the shelf copies, however when they release new games, they tend to order in bulk, they leave seal copies in the store room, and when you request them to check for you, they usually come back with a seal copy. Games that have been out for more than 6 months are harder to find sealed, but might get lucky if you ask.

Got THAT little beauty today.

Sadly been so long since I played my 3ds, I have to charge it.

And have dinner

Oh and not exactly a Game acquisition per se...



Oh yeah BABY!

Picked up Tales of Xillia Day One Edition, I'm disappointed that Australia is the only country that didn't get free DLC codes with the purchase while every other country did. Never the less it's a enjoyable game like Tales of Graces, though Milla's voice actress is annoying.
