Anyone have any suggestions for spending $500 at EB Games without buying a disk or consoles?

Great idea, I ended up doing that.

Feel free to gift me Dark Souls III Mr. Moneybags. But seriously I can't believe how high the system requirements are for DSIII it doesn't look like a massive visual upgrade. Guess I'll retire my 670 when the new series comes out.

I think graphics are never From's strong point. Bloodborn might be a great game but the graphics look crappy for a PS4 game.

I've got to give Bloodborne another shot. I started playing late one night and by about 3am i still hadn't finished the first level lol. Each time i restarted my patience was going down and down which only made it worse. I think the art direction is good but i came to it after playing MGSV, so the slower frame rate was quite noticeable.

Have had some luck at the bargain bin recently, picking up Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend and Metal Gear Rising for 100Y each, both on PS3. Blazblue i already have on PS Vita (as well as a newer version) but for that price, couldn't resist. MGR I have wanted to try for a while.. will have to wait though, i just finished Devil May Cry 1 and starting 2 on the HD collection that i picked up last week. Probably my affinity for these kind of games is why i suck at Bloodborne

Devastation is 50% off on Steam right now.

i'm assuming it's poorly optimised console port, but i've never played any of them.

"Poorly optimised" is one way to put it. Giant Bomb had the PC version crash the PC on every PC they tried it on when they walked up to the first Bonfire (save point). They reported it to the devs but they didn't fix it for launch and there is now a very long thread on the Steam forums about it.

Shame since DSII had a great PC version (other than the 60fps durability bug that took ages to fix)

nice haha
I bought Devastation. Game starts windowed, no option for 1440p, graphics options are presets only, no mouse in the main menu, good job.

I get the feeling XCOM 2 is never going to be fixed. It's still has as many annoying delays in loading and between moves as it did day one. Zip mode doesn't help, it just speeds up the animation.
