Buyer's remorse for me as I picked it up the other week at BB to get the GC offer. Looks like the SEGA games are dropping in price with Bayonetta recently and Yakuza 3 the other week.

Right at the price I was willing to pay - thanks!

 

[horriblehager]

Buy it and take back to bb

I wish my $25 Amazon gift card came yesterday, then I would've been able to pick this up for only $5 and wouldn't have to worry if I hated the game.

humm... holding out for the magical 20 price point.

*sighs*

Paid 39 like 2 weeks or so ago, and it just keeps dropping.

yup, same. I'll bite on the 20 FFXIII for now.

 

[Jiggaloj]

I bought this full price and it was worth every penny. Anybody thinking of getting this, should get it now.

 

[pdjones]

Sort of tempting, but the game is like 32.99 on ps3 at Amazon normally so this isn't really that much of a deal.

 

[FlyingMonkey9]

very mixed reviews on this one...probably only for hardcore JRPG guys

 

[Magikarp830]

It's a Sega game - I'm thinking $20 is inevitable...

If I knew I'd play it within 6 months, I'd bite. But with the backlog, I can guarantee I won't get to it for 2-3 years, at least! And that's me being optimistic...

It is nice to know that this game is already on sale for $29.98. I'll pick it up once it hits $20, which I'm hoping might be around BF (Black Friday).

Thanks for the post, OP!

It is DOTD so it will go back up tomorrow

for future ref, is the ps3 version > 360?

according to the jp site, they are technically almost the same, same sub-HD resolution, same AA

except 360 has more DoF effect

Didn't realize this was the DOTD. I just saw it in my "Recommended For You" area and was surprised by the price drop.

More DoF effect!?!? Yesss! That's one of the top three things I look at when deciding on whether to purchase a game or not.

 

[~Spirit-of~]

I bit.

I need more needlessly silly JRPGs in my diet.

 

[DeathBringer]

Uhh It's a great game.

 

[Gamehead]

When this is $20-25 I will get it. Why did FFXIII go on sale before this?

Because RoF is the better game.

I was just about to mention this myself. I was about to buy the game when Mitnosi mentioned the low price a 3rd party seller had 2-3 weeks ago, but things came up and I couldn't bite.

From what I've seen, if you're a classic JRPG fan, this game is better than FFXIII (though I like FFXIII, it could have been A LOT more).

This is a great price, but I don't know if I should still bite. Usually this means that within one month the game will fall to $30 staple price, and a bit later, the game can be had for even cheaper. I do have an ample (extremely ample) backlog and I could wait....but then again, some of these niche Sega titles seem to sell out retail before they reach the $20 mark (VC and a few others being the exception).

So what is this? I hate 'Tales' style Japanese battle systems...is that what this is?
