Latest Gaming Purchase

[Moonface]

Sell it. Nintendo Switch systems surprisingly keep their value. I see used ones (non-OLED) selling for $250-$275 all of the time, so I'm going to try to sell mine for $250 ($300 bundled with my Pro Controller) to cover some of the cost of my upgrade.

Ah. Have you got the OLED yet or did you order it and thus waiting for delivery?

ALL OF THE GAMES!

...Okay, not literally all the games, but, like, so many games. Let me explain.

So, Humble Bundle has a monthly subscription service: Humble Choice. If you are subscribed by the end of the month, you get a crapton of games (between, 8 and 14) FOR FREE! And not, like, crappy games or just indies, either. I've gotten CoD: WWII, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Battletech, Hellblade, and all sorts of crazy stuff! The problem is I haven't been redeeming my monthly games (which, by the way, the unlocks are permanent; even if you don't redeem them, like, 4 years later, you can just go into your keys and entitlements, and BAM!), so I have a MASSIVE BACKLOG! How big? Uh, I started subbing on September 2018! WHOOPS!

BTW, is anyone interested in a copy of Sniper Elite, Monster Prom, Little Nightmares, or You Don't Know Jack Vol. 1-4 (the old ones, not the reboot)? I already have all these games, so I have a key for each of them just lying around.

@Maniakkid25: Speaking of Humble Bundle, did you see the Resident Evil bundle they've got going on right now?

I also assume that redemption backlog is why I recently saw Civ 6, BPM and Phantom Doctrine enter your recently played on Steam the other day, or is that from something else?

[Maniakkid25]

Not Phantom Doctrine specifically (that was a weird kerfuffle of trying to download a free DLC), as I already owned it, but yes!

I have seen the bundle. There are two reasons I have no plans to buy it.

1. I own all the games in that bundle (across multiple systems, mind) except for Resident Evil Remake and RE7, and the only one I'm certain I could handle is REmake.

2. I just do not have the cash to spare right now.

[Moonface]

@Maniakkid25: Ah. Well, if you only want the REmake you could just drop the $1 for the first Bundle tier since it's in that one and just leave RE7 out.

Which Sniper Elite is it? The first one?
As for my interest, I have some for Little Nightmares but I don't know if my laptop can run that game or not so I'd have to find out. If anyone else comes along asking for it though feel free to give it to them though.

[Maniakkid25]

Yup, it is Sniper Elite number 1. Also, 1 buck for REmake is actually a decent price. I will think about it, definitely. Edit: thought about it. Decided on the 10 dollar pack, and got RE Revelations 2 Deluxe. So now I'm sitting on keys to RE5 Gold, RE6, and RE Revelations 1. Those are also on the table for anyone to take.

I purchased the Bioshock Collection on PSN yesterday since it's going for $10 right now instead of the usual $50. I did get the games via PS+ but that requires me to keep an active subscription to play them, whereas now I can at least play them whenever I want to.

Splatoon 3. Actually playing it this time!

Just purchased PGA TOUR 2K23 Tiger Woods Edition for Xbox. I really enjoyed playing this series and a kid and am glad it has revived, featuring Tiger Woods, of course. I enjoy golfing too, so looking forward to binge playing over the next several days.

I just looked up the series to see when the last game was and the history of that series is an interesting look with how it changed names and hands three times in the last decade. Any reason you didn't get 2K21 though? I'm curious since that game came out before this one but it sounds like you haven't bought any of them in a while.

Crusader Kings III

As an avid fan of Crusader Kings II, I've been wanting this one for a while - and now, thanks to a generous birthday gift from a couple of friends, I finally have it . I'm not fully into it yet - there are quite a lot of mechanics that are changed from Crusader Kings II - but I expect I'll rather enjoy this game once I've found my way around it .

[Dragon Lord]

Been a bit, but some of my more recent purchases have been...

DIsgaea 6 Complete - Limited Edition (PS5)
The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Zero - Limited Edition (PS4)

And then "pre-ordered" a couple of games through Limited Run Games:

Crystal Ortha (PS4)
Crystal Ortha (PS5)
Eldest Souls (PS4)
Eldest Souls (PS5)

[Moonface]

Technically it was for Shira for her birthday but since I bought it, I recently got it Stray digitally on PS5. I did want to try and get a physical copy but nowhere around here had one, but on the bright side the digital version was 20% off on PSN.

Last game purchased was Call of Duty Modern Warfare II for Xbox. I am really enjoying the game and looking forward to binge playing this weekend!
