the Amazon deal bundle Ratchet and Clank was a standard retail copy, if I recall correctly, with a sticker over the UPC - this version is literally bundled in the box with a specially printed copy that had not for sale on the portion of the box where the UPS is on a retail copy.
The thing about calling this game a survival horror is a bit off; in terms of analogy, I would compare your standard survival horror to Fragile Dream as one that pairs up hardcore pornography to arthouse flick with nudity - your typical survival is about blasting weird things and all actiony...
I would say keeping the DQV for $40 is probably a very good idea; like another poster said, I have also tried hitting numerous BB in searching for the ephemeral DQV in BB, and of the 20 BBs (I kid you not, literally 20) the best answer I got was "the computer shows me that we have 137 copies in...
it's not so much of an epic ending nor is it something to the effect that'll achieve catharsis towards the end of the series.
Here's my take on Rumbling Hearts (KimiNozo)The premise is you have a basic love triangle setting, something rather atypical to romantic dramas happens fairly early on...
S-E is about as much of a greedy game company as any other out there; however, one thing to note is that DQV wasn't a huge seller, and chances are they won't reprint. In my case, I am still searching for a copy-anybody think they can help me pick up a copy?
except dragon quest v is so darn difficult to find, and most people are selling it at a premium, i.e. 40-50, which is new release price and more...would love to get a hold of a copy though
diverging from the typical gameday rant of gutted copies; I do agree that most of the time, the customer would actually ask for a copy of the game from the associates rather than digging through the shelves. The only people I know browsing through shelves are the game-addicts (including myself)...
my take is that they are gambling on the fact having the hints at nudity would get more prepubescent boys buying the game and maybe get some older audience rather than having a NA rating (or whatever that is intended for adult only) and lose out the kiddies with their money and not getting a...
I agree with you 100%-the best example speaking to that is Amazon matched Walmart's deal. Also, you can always take it back given that it is within 1 month of your purchasing when it went bad-it'd be hard imagine Walmart wouldn't let you exchange for a new one
