and ended up with quite an abundance of games. I picked up Beyond Two Souls which I've been wanting to play for like ever. I got Sleeping Dogs because it's just an amazing game and I wanted to own it. I broke down and decided to jump into the Batman games by picking up Arkham City, which is actually pretty good. Seeing as it's been ages since I've actually played an rpg I picked up Tales of Xillia, which has been fun so far. Being a KH fan when I saw 1.5 on sale I had to grab it, just disappointed that 358/2 Days is cutscenes only *sniff*. The games I've yet to play or know about are Dishonored, Dues Ex: Human Revolution, and Mass Effect 3. I've heard of ME just never really got around to playing it so yeah I'll be starting out jumping straight into 3 whenever I get around to it. Aside from games I also picked up a cool new set of ifrogz headphones because I'm cheap like that, and a not so cool but I'm too lazy to take it back new ps3 controller. So it's safe to say the once massive hole that was growing in my gamer soul is abundantly filled for now. (I guess this could be like a holiday haul type thread from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint.) -Shiranui
Hitting up sales is what turned me broke v: The Mass Effect series is great despite some of the controversy over the ending. However, I would highly highly recommend that you play the first two games first. Mass Effect 2 you can jump into without having played the first (though you'll still be missing out on things), but the neat thing about Mass Effect is that your actions in the first two games affect the universe in the third. You can grab the trilogy collection for around $30 these days I believe.
I lucked out somehow and managed to hold onto a bit of money >.< Yeah, I thought the first two games would have come in handy but I didn't see the other two when I was shopping >.> I might wait and pick them up later. I should be preoccupied with the other games until school starts back up in the spring. How'd I know out of all the peeples on here I was going to get a Misty reply? Must have been the mass effect bait I set >:3 -Shiranui
Yeah, I almost never pick up Director's Cuts. I actually believe I've never owned a Director's Cut. Meh. I can kind of understand your gif about Beyond Two Souls ... not what I expected. The storyline is somewhat decent ... or would be if it wasn't for the Haruhi Suzumiya kind of order >.> It's one of those "when I have nothing better to do" games. So at least I'll always have something to do ... I guess. -Shiranui
It's not just the order of events. It's the writing itself, the illusion of choice, the inclusion of seemingly meaningless events, etc. I wrote more about it in this thread.
