Post your latest gaming purchases II

[Maryokutai]

October stuff. Unknown 9 got rather bad reviews but it wouldn't be the first 6/10 game I've enjoyed. Potionomics was one of those dumb 'for the collection' purchases because the box looks nice. TR is for the backlog and Ys I've started yesterday as I've been looking forward to that quite a bit.

 

 

Edit: wow, the picture is awful, no idea what happened there.

I didn't realise Ys was out. I was also tempted by Unknown 9 until I saw the reviews, especially as it's launched at a bit of a cheap price. I also now want Potionomics based on nothing but the box is different

No pics as I haven't got my Switch to hand but:

Inside: £1.69 

Limbo: 89p

 

I think I finished Limbo some time ago? Inside, I never got around to. But at those prices I'm more than happy to jump back into both.

My 20th anniversary joypad has developed stick drift, and I've been playing a lot of Black Ops 6 online. Amazon had pads on offer for £39.95 yesterday, so I treated myself to a new one in green.

^ great choice!

got some n64 games off ebay/cex and a flash cart innit

N64 games should get 64 likes and you have 8 of them so that’s like a lot of likes it should get

Well, there's a reference to another game in this review quote, so doesn't seem likely I'll be getting this one now.....

Got a PS5 digital for £309 from Argos 😊 With pay in 3 0% interest using klarna. 
 

Just need to pluck up the courage to pick it up now it’s so bloody cold.

Mandatory image sorry

Leaving Gamepass soon so finally played it.

4 levels later I bought it, only £7 at the minute too. Seems really damn good.

A couple of things from the sales 

 

 

Jedi Survivor was £16 from Smyths 

 

I've been after a new laptop for years and never justified it. My last one was basically used to rip cds, before it just stopped turning on at all earlier this year. It feels a bit of a waste buying something really powerful, given I have a desktop I sit at most days. However, it's pretty capable, enough so I can go and edit video in a coffee shop at the weekend, play something if I'm away from home or something, but it was £650 and is a really nice machine apart from the early impressions of Windows 11 

 

Intel Core i5 - 12500H

RTX 3050

16gb ram 

1tb ssd 

 

The screen's nice, it's got a nice shell to it, 144hz with VRR. Ran Control with the RT on, Forza Horizon 5, and the less demanding Slitterhead ran really well
