What are your latest game pickups? #3

I recently picked up...

• Bioshock Remastered Collection for PS4 for $10
• Battlefield V Definitive Edition for PS4 for $15
• Persona 5 Strikers for Switch for $40

I double dipped on Persona 5 Strikers because I wanted the exclusive steel book lol

How about you, SW? What are your latest game pickups?

Sunset Overdrive for 5eur on PC. Having a blast so far, but the game seems really hard.

I don't mind dying though, as this game is full of humour and wit.

GamePass, everything good under the sun. :P

I just got a Thrustmaster HOTAS so I can play modern flight games a little less ludicrously. My 90s Sidewinder wasn't cutting it any more 😂

It was reported a few weeks back that Nintendo delisted the Super Mario 3D All-Stars from their store. Well, guess what? The scalpers are now selling it at the prices of a PS4!

No More Heroes 1 and 2 (Switch) - Pre-order (Limited Run)

Star Wars: Republic Commando (Switch; already have the PC and XBOX versions digitally, with plans to get the Limited Run physicals)

Quake II (N64; already have the PC versions on Steam) - Waiting to arrive

Centipede Infestation (Wii) - Waiting to arrive

Bought Control Ultimate Edition as it's on offer at the moment.

MS gave me a £6 Easter gift and I had £9 of points from GAME (UK) for buying a Series X from them so it only ended up costing me £2.

Really liked what I've played so far, but playing Outriders pretty much non-stop at the moment it's so much fun.

A friend of mine gifted me the Kingdom Hearts collections on Epic. Too bad I told her I'm not using Epic lol

Threw it back in her face then? Did she understand once you'd explained or did she think you was weird?

Yea, that's messed up.

Nope, we just give each other games randomly. I told her I'd play the game once it hits Steam. She understood and didn't care lol

Lately ive only been buying games on the switch. Last game i bought on PC was black mesa. Been using gamepass on it tho.

Switch:

DMC3 for $10 (digital)

sakura rice and ruin for $40 (physical)

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle with all dlc for $13 (digital)

PS4: haven't bought anything for it recently but did play remnant from the ashes as the free game for the month, other than that its an OW, COD, Rocket League box for the living room.

Cold Steel IV

Monster Hunter Rise

Half-Life: Alyx for 40% off. However, I didn't like playing it in the low resolution of the original Oculus Rift. So, I bought an Oculus Quest 2 which has much better resolution and lenses. However, it does not have an OLED screen. So, the dark scenes are not as good.

Yeah, that's the worst thing about the Q2 (well other than the FB stuff). Ruins anything that is dark to the point where I avoid anything that's not bright and colourful.

Hope the rumours of a Quest Pro are true and they can splash out on a OLED again.

My last game purchase was Monster Hunter Rise two weeks ago.

Evil Genius 2 was the first game I bought this year. Thanks, regional pricing.

I haven't bought a game since I found NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered (PS4) for $25 back in... January? 🤔

I've been replaying the Uncharted game and playing the PS Plus offerings.

Monster Hunter: Rise. I've only played it for an hour, but I love it so far.

Some divisive opinions on the game, but overall it seems very positive.

What are your thoughts on the game?

Haven't played far into it, but it's about as I expected; a Dungeon Keeper clone with spy-fi aesthetics. Some fiddly-ness and pacing issues, though.

I do feel I'm getting my money's worth... ...and I didn't pay very much.

Control Ultimate Edition was on sale for $19.99, I double dipped to experience the Series X patch, though I vowed not to out of principle, I was weak. But I am enjoying myself. At least I get fresh cheevos I guess. Since I never got the season pass I guess it's less than I would have paid for that so it works out.

I also picked up the Forza Horizon 4 DLC pass that comes with the Hot Wheels and Lego content expansions and all that other stuff. I picked up the Hot Wheels DLC when Forza Horizon 3 content got delisted and loved it so I jumped on this. The idea of getting DLC to a game I don't own was a hurdle I had to get past (mentally, playing via Game Pass), just gotta remember to get base game should in future it get delisted like other Forza Horizon games.

Both are part of the on-going Xbox Spring Sale.

Before that, It Takes Two, been playing that with a friend when we get time to do so.

Dafuq. It took me an hour to create my character and read some tutorials. Either you're fast as hell or very easily pleased.

It didn't take me that long. I did a few quests, learned how to use the camera, etc. I guess I'm easily impressed. *shrug*

It Takes Two for PC

honestly a fantastic puzzle platformer after 6 hours or so. Probably the best EA published game I've played since Titanfall 2.

much, much better than A Way Out

Very tempted to buy Metro Redux at $8 but idk if I will ever play it.

The dilemma every gamer faces lol.

Damn, you really love your Uncharted.

In the past 3-4 weeks I've bought like 100 games lol. Catching up on older PC games I was never able to play. Can't list them all here, so I'll just list the one I'm playing right now: Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition.

Well I've been playing Fire Emblem Three Houses lately so I decided to get its DLC.

@SolidGame_basic: Yeah. I replay them every 2-3 years. Currently designing my next shadowbox for my wall of fame for the series. I decided to break in my PS5 and have already beat the first 3 and am in the middle of the 4th. Will play LL after that. Might jump back to GA on the PSV later this year.

Fitness Boxing 2. Haven’t played it yet only the demo. I had a sore shoulder the last week so I wanted to give it a rest to heal.

Kingdom Hearts 3 (Epic Store) for $64 CAD

Scarlet Nexus Deluxe Edition for $106.5 CAD

WH40K Dakka Squadron for $20.5 CAD

Just bought Huntdown on Switch... great game. Really enjoying it.

Homefront: The Revolution. Almost 70 gb install just to play Timesplitters 2 in 4K. I regret nothing.

A Series X and 43 inch 4k tv for my sons birthday, i'm good for a little while now.

My likely next buy will be Alex Kidd in June, but i don't really know whats coming out before then, so that might change.

@i_p_daily: woah, you finally got the X? You gotta try Valhalla on that bad boy

Just picked up Super Meatboy and Megaman X legacy part 2 I needed meatboy on my handheld its just too fun to pass up and megaman x5 and 6 are kicking my butt so I gonna look up guides.

I have a huge wishlist of stuff I need still though on switch lite its crazy

Persona 5 strikers. I paid full price.

Ive been getting some PS3 games before they get too expensive. Picked up

Demon Souls

Lords of Shadow 2

Motorstorm Pacific Rift

Motorstorm Apocalypse

Digital ones you mean, right?

Pre-ordered SaGa Frontier and purchased the all-in-one bundle for Capcom Arcade Stadium. Both on the Switch.

Snatched Witcher 3 GOTY edition for $10, and Atelier Ryza for $30.

Dark Souls remastered for my sons switch.

I told him I put in my will that no one receives anything unless they've beaten dark souls.

My eldest son took the challenge. He beat Carpa Demon last night.... He loves it.

😄

Got a new copy of Soul Reaver for my DC. Gonna start that after I finish the Ratchet and Clank reboot :-)

Pre-ordered Resident Evil Village Deluxe Edition and Mass Effect Trilogy Legendary Edition today. Both for the Xbox One.

Disco Elysium The Final Cut. Played it for like an 1.30h and just can't keep on playing. The game is boring af. Not too sure where those 10/10 are coming from.

I thought you're an elite PC player? Why don't you play Soul Reaver on PC?
