What game(s) did you buy today?

Technology and Gaming
#61

Let me guess- you got to a headquarters mission.

#62

No, I did not like the game-play style right away as I began getting further than the beginning of the second mission. It is too slow (EDIT: and too unforgiving - have to restart more often than I prefer).

#63

I guess you probably wouldn’t like the first three games- the opening bits of Double Agent were closest to Chaos Theory, my favorite game in the series. Conviction might be more your thing since it’s more supportive of combat.

#64

Thanks for the information! I’ll consider the Conviction game.

#65

I didn’t much like Double Agent either. I liked the original and chaos theory though, but double agent just didn’t sit right with me. Conviction is just a shooter xD so is black list, but they’re fun shooters.

#66

There are two versions of Double Agent, the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube version which is apparently very similar to Chaos Theory, and then the 360/PS3/PC version which is what started the move to what Splinter Cell has become.

#67

i.e. Not Splinter Cell. Blacklist was well received though, in terms of balancing the Conviction and Chaos Theory playstyles. Once it’s on a sale I’ll probably give it a play.

#68

Red Faction collection is on sale for a VERY reasonable price. 5 bucks. Is it worth getting? I’ve never played any of the red factions except the first one, which I never finished.

#69

Guerilla is ok in my book. Can’t say anything about Armageddon though, I never even finished the tutorial mission because the default fov(45) gave me nausea and the only fix around didn’t work with the latest version.

#70

Red Faction 1 is pretty good for an old shooter. Armageddon was very fun.

I’ve never played Guerrilla, but most people seem to think it’s the best of the series.

#71

Well, it’s only six bucks. I think I’ll pick it up.

#72

Perfect Dark Zero - Xbox 360, for 1.99 USD (plus tax).

#73

I got the Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons on the 3DS virtual console a couple days ago. I will be getting Oracle of Ages as soon as I finish Oracle of Seasons.

#74

Got purchased [EDIT: deleted - for me] not long ago: “Quake III: Team Arena”. Cannot wait to get my hands on it!

#75

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection for the PS3 that also comes with an artbook.
The Last of Us Remastered US version for the PS4. Because I heard the PAL version multiplayer is censored.

#76

Risen 3: Titan Lords through GamersGate.

Doesn’t unlock on Steam until the 16th for me - doesn’t bother me too much though, haven’t finished Risen 2 yet.

EDIT: for some reason it unlocked on the 14th anyway .__.

#77

I happened to find a copy of Crimson Skies on PC and Rainbow Six: Covert Ops Essentials for $5 each when I was at a used game shop buying a replacement Xbox. Crimson Skies in particular was a total steal since Amazon sells it used for nearly $40.

#78

Covert Ops Essentials yay
I got both discs in individual cases for $2 and I haven’t really played them but I know the music is perfect. Training doesn’t seem to work at all, it just crashes on startup no matter what.

#79

Borderlands 2, in STEAM, for 4.99 USD (plus tax).

#80

What the hell… FEAR 3, on the cheap for C$2.87 for boxed retail.

Anyone else play this game? What’d yuh think?
