Cris Tales (PS4)
Cris Tales (PS5)
Hades (PS4)
Hades (PS5)

Best Buy has each of these on sale for $20 for Black Friday, so I figured I'd go ahead and pick each one of them up. Getting both versions of Cris Tales for the normal price of one of them is really nice. As for the reason I'm picking them up on both PS4 and PS5: Separate trophy lists.


RE: Latest Gaming Purchase - Moonface - Nov 22nd, 2021

Speaking of Black Friday deals, I picked up these yesterday from Target:
  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PS5)
  • Demon's Souls (PS5)
  • Resident Evil Village (PS5)
  • Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut (PS5)
Got the whole lot for roughly $170. I don't have a PS5 yet but I'm not going to pass up on good deals for the games just because I don't have a way to play them yet. Tongue

Both very good games! I was tempted to pick up a physical Hades myself but I think I'll be fine with digital for now.

A Hat in Time (PS4)

Couldn't wait for @Karo to give me a gift card for it so I just bought it myself instead, although she is getting me the DLC. ^_^

Hey I did a thing!

Honestly I helped you pick a better PC than mine lmao. Congrats!


RE: Latest Gaming Purchase - Cory - Dec 6th, 2021

I purchased Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Black Ops - Cold War on PC because they were half-off for the Black Friday sale. Now I'm going to sell my Modern Warfare and Black Ops - Cold War PS4 games on eBay eventually since I purchased them on my preferred device.


RE: Latest Gaming Purchase - Moonface - Dec 23rd, 2021

I wasn't going to post what I last got because of spoiling @ShiraNoMai's Christmas gift, but I'll put it in a spoiler tag and she can just not open it. Tongue

The Sims 3.

I've been playing The Sims 4 for a while now - but, I've heard that its predecessor is better in some areas - such as having more customisation options. That sounds appealing to me - so, I've bought it to give it a go Smile .

256 GB Samsung EVO MicroSD card

Ran out of room on my Switch, haha. Looked up what SD cards are good and the Samsung EVO was pretty much the top rated every time, and I saw the 256GB one was on sale on Amazon for $27 (normally $40), so I was like hell yeah I'll jump all over that. Normally I'd always go for the largest size available - 512 GB in this case - but I don't see myself ever filling up that large of a card on the Switch. 256 GB should be more than enough to last me the rest of the life of my Switch.

Subnautica: Below Zero (which was a gift for one of my long-time friends).

The last game I bought for myself was still The Sims 3 - but, I still haven't played that Tongue . Been finishing off some other games first!


RE: Latest Gaming Purchase - Moonface - Jan 3rd, 2022

Have you played the original Subnautica @Kyng?


RE: Latest Gaming Purchase - Dragon Lord - Jan 3rd, 2022

Not any games, but bought some items related to gaming:


Amazon Basics High-Speed HDMI Cable (18 Gbps, 4K/60Hz) for my PC
Zeskit Maya 8K 48Gbps Certified Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable for my PS5
Cat8 Ethernet Cable for my PC

Just some accessories for my gaming. Got an HDMI cable for my PS5 that can handle games being played in 4K/120hz. Not sure if any of the PS5 games I currently have output that, but I figured it'd be nice to have it for when I can play any games that can.

Amazon Basics HDMI cables have insanely high reviews, so figured that'd be good enough for my PC for now. Ethernet cable also had insanely good reviews, so figured it'd be a good one to have for the PC. Definitely want to make sure I have that baby hooked up with ethernet rather than running on wifi.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Bundle (Steam)

Okay, this time I actually bought it. Now that I have a nice computer with a nice sized monitor to enjoy the games, haha. I'm sure my laptop could have handled them, but this is gonna be much more enjoyable than playing them on that thing.

No, I haven't. (In fact, I haven't played this one either: I don't have a copy of my own! The only one I've bought was the one I got as a gift for Osprey Tongue ).

As for the question in the topic title, my latest purchase is Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. Once again, this was a gift: it's not the kind of thing I'd be likely to play myself!!!
