If you're not a huge AAA, multi-million selling franchise, an annual sports title, or a Nintendo first-party title, chances are you'll drop off in price within a couple months.

Also, lots of places have sales on newer games really quickly now. It's kind of insane. It makes me angry that I always end up buying games immediately and then see them at like $30 or under a couple months down the road, but that's nothing but my own problem.

Dead Island came out last month and it's already on sale on Steam for 25% off. As Peanut said, it's just the way things are these days.

I bought Shogun 2 and then a week later it was on sale for 50% off.

I copped the new Kirby game a few days ago, I'm enjoying it. My only complaints are that Kirby seems to move a little slower than usual, it feels way too easy, and the music doesn't scream Kirby to me though it is nice. I still really like it, though. Really diggin' the new powerups.

I pre-ordered that months ago but it still hasn't shown up yet. I f**king hate Amazon sometimes.

TMNT: Smaaaaaaaaash-Up. $20 on eBay.

It's actually pretty good. There's so little content though, which is a disappointment. One afternoon of time with it and I already feel like I've seen all there is to see.

I guess that's how fighters are, though. Marvel Vs Capcom 3 was the same way. Gameplay > Re-playability.

In other news, Modern Warfare 3 is right around the corner...

Peanut · 10-29-2011, 12:56 AM

Oh, hooray! Another fine addition to the modern military shooter genre! You know what's awesome and totally not driven into the ground? Shooters!

Have you ever played a Kirby game? You can sleep walk through them.

I don't understand why you and so many others say this. Platformers have been around for ever. RPGs have been around for ever. They both had periods where they dominated the market. Now it's the shooter genre's turn.

And that Kirby game you mentioned... that franchise has been done again and again for the past ten years. Same with Mario, same with Final Fantasy, same with countless others.

The shooter is just having its time on-top right now. If you don't like them, there's other genres to play that have been driven into the ground. Go play those.

Peanut · 10-29-2011, 01:04 PM

Ugh. Don't, new guy. Just don't. I absolutely refuse to explain my position here again.

Of course, but this one seems the easiest by far.

Everything you say after that means absolutely nothing.

Also you overpaid by about 19 bucks.

You can also say the same about shooters, playa.

Just picked up DBZ Ultimate Tenkaichi. Loved the intro and I am enjoying the game.

deadpoolRKO · 10-31-2011, 10:42 PM

*The Stryker* · 11-01-2011, 01:31 PM

Yep. That's what I was going for. They just happen to be the hot genre right now.

or have you even played it?

*The Stryker* · 11-01-2011, 06:49 PM

I just like saying things without playing it like a giant idiot.

There are 3 options in each category and it boils down to Hair, Clothes and Voice. Sh*tty is being nice.

deadpoolRKO · 11-01-2011, 07:10 PM

that's lame , hows the move customization ? & isn't there like a new storyline to play through with your created person?

IamtheKnight · 11-01-2011, 09:15 PM

Just got Dark Souls (Limited Edition) for $60 at Gamestop and Battlefield 3.

Peanut · 11-02-2011, 11:33 PM

I got Sonic Generations and spent all night playing it over Uncharted 3.

It's f*cking great. I just need to get that out there. More so I can let it sink in for myself than anything else.
