Post your latest gaming purchases II

Loco Motive is a really well made homage to classic LucasArts style point&click games. I played the original game jam version which was great, this new retail version is bigger, has new art and is fully voice acted.

 

Nodebuster is an addictive incremental game that I'm enjoying a lot for only £2.50

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

 

@shinymcshine The Case of the Golden Idol is much easier and less obscure than Return of the Obra Dinn, I wouldn’t let that put you off. Although I love Obra Dinn.

Was in town today and picked up a new copy of spiderman 2 for £30 in game.

I don’t believe you

I can only believe claims in this thread when it’s backed up by photographic evidence. Otherwise it could just be elaborate fan fiction 

[Snaggletooth]

How about screen shot evidence? 

 

[shinymcshine]

Nope - as Game online prices can vary from high street prices.....

 

 

(Not that I'm doubting you, but just for the lols)

One day it was £70 then the Lord blessed me with 50% discount.

Happy birthday to me (not actually planned but there you go

I've not posted for a bit because I've been ill, but I've bought a handful of things 

 

 

I was in a toy shop buying a toy for a child and realised that I'm an adult with adult money, so I can buy myself a better present. So I bought a Sonic thing where he smashes through Robotnik 

 

Unrelated, I saw Sonic Spinball cheap on ebay 

 

The CPU is the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D, which is the same one Spatular bought, it's more or less the best I can put in my motherboard. I've had it here a couple of weeks but it can wait for the Christmas break to be fitted 

[Maryokutai]

Wonder how many screens of Sonic you could run in parallel with that CPU.

 

Anyway, these are my November & December games, but that's definitely it now with the spending for this year:

 

 

Smurfs looks weird because it has one of those 3D covers (that make the funny noise when you run your nails over it). Not a fan of the IP but the game was made by the same people who did Marsupilami. The shoot'em ups are mostly for the collection as I have them digitally already. Same goes for Trine, which is a new release with the first four titles on one cartridge. The rest is rather self-explanatory, just stuff I want to play over the coming months (or already started in the case of Veilguard).

Bitten after all these years... no idea when I'll get round to it. Isn't it supposed to be a pretty big game?

[Maf]

I don’t remember how long it took to complete. But I remember how long it felt like it took to complete. 
 

Incredible haul @Maryokutai

[spatular]

about 90 hours apparently, i keep meaning to play it but the longness puts me off.

 

yeah nice cave purchases Maryokutai

Gaming birthday presents from a few days ago.

 

 

 

Dog makes a good pad rest. Don’t know if they’ve updated the pad slightly again or if my other one was just more knackered than I realised but this feels a lot better to use. Haptics and trigger effects are better and the d pad is significantly less mushy. Only wanted it for the classic design, bonus! 

[retroed]

IYKYK.

I honestly have no excuse, ok?! I just wanted it and trying to get to next year
