What's some other cheap niche games to add to reach $25 fss?

I hope these continue to drop. I still need to get Totori on the cheap, and wouldn't mind the Hyperdimensions either. Not a priority, but something cheap would be nice.

If you're a fan of Fate/Stay Night, I'd recommend getting it just on principle.

It's really a love-it-or-hate-it kind of game. Most people complain about the battle system, which is very much like playing rock-paper-scissors, though enemies do have patterns you can easily memorize.

For about $9, I'd say it's definitely worth picking up. As for the Limited Edition... Ehhh. It's nothing special really. The artbook is pretty skimpy and the soundtrack is only 10 tracks long. (The music is pretty good, though)

I never played Fate/Stay Night, and I think I only saw like 2 episodes of the show. Thanks for the input on the LE though. Comparing what you and slidecage both said to what I've seen around the internet, it doesn't seem worth it. Did buy the game though, along with Gungnir. Still haven't replaced my broken 1000 though, so I can't play it yet

It's true that you'll love it or hate it.

At first I played it for maybe two hours, decided I hated it and quit playing. Came back to it a couple months later and I was hooked. Not sure what happened there

Amazon has new copies of Apollo Justice in stock for $29.99. There were 4 left when I bought it. Good luck!

Got 1 of those 2 for myself. Thx!

i got fate le day one and played it around 5 hours and did not build up my person right and had to go back and redo it...i think i put around 30 hours into it ...now starting to wonder why i even got it again cause the more i think of it the more i sort of got bored with it after the first playthough

also there is no that many endings as one might think (at least not that major of a difference

you start with 3 people to pick from i think a knight an archer (not sure) or a mage)


there are 7 days on DAY 4 or 5 you have to pick to save A or B and that is the only change in the game

so

say you pick Knight

DAY 1 Boss A
Day 2 BOSS B
Day 3 BOSS C
DAY 4 BOSS D
DAY 5-1 BOSS E
Day 6 BOSS F
Day 7 BOSS G

if you pick the other path

Day 1 boss A
day 2 Boss B
Day 3 Boss c
Day 4 Boss d
Day 5-2 Boss G
Day 6 Boss f
Day 7 BOss E

see it just means you fight boss E and F on different days not that big of a difference

you can grind the hell out of the game as well and your going to need to grind like crazy if you want to use the MAGE cause by day 4 your going to be way under leveled if you dont

I found
Knight way easy (played on both paths)
ARcher or whatever it was never played
Mage Way hard (gave up on day 4)

Like i said i think i put around 25 to 30 hours into it... I will just keep it sealed when im bored and no longer have gamefly and need something to play

and hell 8 bucks is just like buying a bad lunch

Damn I thought Ar Tonelico Qoga was rare. Bought it for $40 a bit while ago, still haven't played it. Oh well at least mine is the premium edition even though I could care less about the artbook and cd.

Cool, glad I was able to help at least 1 CAG

Damn, I thought Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Chests were rare, cause vanilla BL2s are still available!

The big question I'm still asking myself is why was I up at 4am and checking CAG and buying games. Probably not the wisest idea to be buying games while semi-asleep...one of these days I might come home to find 100 copies of the crappy Dead Space 2 CE sitting on my doorstep that I thought was a good deal while sleep-shopping online after reading a CAG notification email

Was waiting for a good price on Meruru (thought I would be waiting a few more months for it to be $20 on Gamefly, but this works). Meets my $20 1990 dollars and under requirement.

Ha, I know what you mean. If I wasn't studying for a professional license exam, I'd have been asleep at 2 or something. Had to take a break from the boredom and just lucked out. The one good thing I did a while ago was make a huge list of the games I'm interested in and the lowest prices they've ever been new/used anywhere I could find. Whenever I see something interesting, I just open the list. Usually it gets rejected then and there, so I know I only buy games that are: 1) a great/the best deal, 2) have become hard to find so old prices don't apply, or 3) just something I really feel like buying

Smart plan and I should do the same. I can't tell you how many times I've jumped on a great Steam deal only to (fortunately) have Steam tell me I already had the game in my library. I finally catalogued my physical games (well, almost all of them) so that's helped avoid buying the same game more than once.

You helped me too, checked my phone on the way into work!

Had to get the Gungnir for $14.99 on Amazon and now the Meruru on Newegg...cool deals this week!

Apollo Justice back in stock for $29.99 at Amazon again. 15 copies this time!

Really wish they'd find a stack of Justice For All or the Miles Edgeworth game. Hopefully I'll manage to spot it again if they do.

Sometimes not being able to sleep really pays off.
