Topic: Recent Retro/Misc Gaming Purchases? (Not PS4/PS5)

@SteveButler2210: Just checked out those photos in the link you sent, looks awesome, I've instantly decided when my girlfriend and I eventually move in together I'm getting me one of those rather than a tv looks just simply perfect for watching movies or playing games great move my friend!

@Quintumply: @Hego: just bust out the measuring tape and it turns out my initial calculations were way off... Instead of 80", I'm actually getting a 98" screen out of it! Definitely the way forward

Not sure if it's been mentioned but witcher 3 is on Amazon uk for less than £25 if any is interested 😃

Picked up Castlevania: Rondo of Blood on the Wii VC last night. I have been in a Castlevania mood lately but wanted something new and this was the only one I never played which is odd cause its sequel Symphony of the Night is my favorite Castlevania.

Picked up Disgaea 4 for vita in the recent sale have Disgaea 1-4 now so won't be stuck for something to play anytime soon!

I recently bought Tales of Zestiria, Metal Gear Solid 5, Driveclub and Black Ops 3, so I dont think i will run out of things to play for quite some time - I need a vacation !!! LOL

I ordered these three games for $60.11 from eBay recently, hopefully I'll get around to playing them eventually.

Eternal Sonata (PS3) - $17.99 New
Killer is Dead (PS3) - $12.12 New
Tales of Xillia 2 (PS3) - $30.00 New

My last day one purchase of 2015....

@Hego: Nice one Hego, I love d5 if you haven't noticed already.

Just bought Transformers devastation for £19.99 brand new from Game!!! I literally squeeled like a toddler looking at a Frozen Christmas calender. I turned to my wife and the game ban was lifted (mustn't of made it clear I wanted this game) what a result.

@Gamer83: Great trio of purchases. Keep them mint for the future pal they should hold their value.

@themcnoisy: Your post genuinely made me smile can't beat getting the game ban lifted!

Just ordered a PS4 bundle that came with Uncharted Collection, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, and Final Fantasy Type-0 HD for less than $400 on Amazon! I just had to pull the trigger on this deal.

I recently bought these four games for $80.98 total. I look forward to playing the Dragon Age series eventually.

Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition (PS3) - $21.40 New
Dragon Age II (PS3) - $18.98 New
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (PS3) - $19.90 New

Traded in Fallout against two games I've been wanting to try for a while, Borderlands Handsome Jack Collection and The Order 1886

My last 3 games have been

Rise of the Tomb Raider - Brilliant - taken me as long to 100% the campaign on 'Normal' difficulty as it did for me to 100% the Uncharted Collection on Crushing. Its not that its more challenging but does have 'more to it' and I did spend time hunting and gathering resources to upgrade my gear too.

Star Wars: Battlefront - I am a Star Wars and FPS fan but I must say overall this is very disappointing. Itt looks fantastic but the game-play is so basic and shallow and lacks a lot of the content of its predecessor as well as other FPS games.

Rare Replay - It was only £10.85 and contains many of the Rare/Ultima games I grew up on. Can't say much else about it yet as I haven't even put the disc in yet...

I ordered these six games on Amazon recently for $101 total , I now own all of the "main" PS3 games I was interested in having .

All that's left are "filler" games now, which I'll take my time collecting.

Assassin's Creed Rogue: Limited Edition (PS3) - $14.25 New
Dark Souls II (PS3) - $14.95 New
Drakengard 3 (PS3) - $18.99 New
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (PS3) - $15.98 New
Saints Row IV: National Treasure Edition (PS3) - $20.99 New
Ultra Street Fighter IV (PS3) - $15.84 New

@ToddlerNaruto: Now it's time for you to get a PS4

@Tasuki: I won't be buying a PS4 until they release the newer & lighter slim model with 1TB+ HDD space in the U.S.

And even then, most likely stall until Black Friday 2016 or Cyber Monday 2016 weeks for sales.

My PS3 backlog is still ridiculously huge, so I've got PLENTY of games to keep me busy.

Most recent purchases from the past four weeks due to sales:

Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition; Picked this up cheap in the Black Friday deals, a very good and huge game which I been after for a while. Started it last week and impressions are good so far (still on Act 1) with hours disappearing when I continue from where I left off

The Witcher 3 Day One Edition: Cheap Black Friday deal couldn't really say no

Uncaharted The Nathan Drake Collection: Saw this cheap on Thegamecollection website not played any of the games before again couldn't say no.

With work and family commitments I'd say I pretty much got the rest of this year and the most of next year sewn up gaming wise!
