I sure wish games I've wanted to play would stop going on sale. First I was gonna finish off brutal Legend, then inFamous 2, then Mirror's Edge, then some DP, now some Just Cause 2. I was also all set to restart Mass Effect 1 and go past chapter 1. What's a poor sucka to do.

That sucks to hear. I liked RE5 quite a bit, probably a lot more than you did, so maybe I'll like it with the Move better. I also have one of those Nav controllers which should make controlling a little better as well. Not sure if you played it with one of those or a DS3 in your other hand.
I didnt think RE5 was a great game, but I had a great time playing it. I played it local co-op with a buddy over a weekend when my wife and kids were out of town. It was an incredible game compared to the steaming pile known as RE6.

The move controls just seemed flat out broken when I tried to use them.

Keep funding your PSN wallet?

 
Lost planet 3.
I was confused because I have no idea where you're seeing it at 39.99. It's currently showing 13.49. I'm hoping that it'll still go down further, though, since they're not done flipping.

I only quit FF7 because I couldn't beat it even though I used a Gameshark the whole game.
I just got bored in the open-world areas before each final boss fight. I like my RPGs to be nice and linear and back then I wasn't aware of that enough to just push through right to the story stuff. Also I hated FF6's split party sections. Generally I detest any game that makes you manage a larger stable of characters than you can have in your party at once. It's just such a tedious approach unless you can completely ignore the characters you aren't playing with. Being forced to level the off-characters is infuriating in a micro-management kind of way. If you want me to play characters, make them all playable at once or simply have the party size never exceeded by the characters available at any time, IMO.

Skip BL. It sucks. Cool opening and concept, but after a few hours it's just a total borefest.

well its 8.99 at gamefly for ps3 and in stock. Sorry for the confusion I can't find the list for the sale and mobile isn't updating.
 
Yeah just tried to do the raid a few times with a full fireteam of 26's. No luck at all. It was hard enough holding all 3 points, but no way to hold them for a few minutes. The pretorious axis minotaurs just chew you up.

and vanguard/crucible 100 rank is easy, just run alot of strikes or play crucible matches. Make sure to run bounties depending what you are playing and make sure to have class/armors/weapons that need xp when you trade in those bounties to make sure ya get upgrades.

I did nothing today but die on Raid.

 
Ooh, Dark Arisen is $6.99. I know it was PS+ in November (man, am I kicking myself for missing out on that :wall:), but I think that might be a good deal. :whistle2:k

Chronicles of Mystara is $7.49, though you can only see that on the product page, not the sale page.

DA does look pretty decent. Never really see it get any attention though, so it's hard to say. I know the original game was really bad about travel, but DA added some teleport ability or something along those lines IIRC.

 
I've never bought a game from Gamefly. How are they as far as inserts/cases?
I've always gotten the case and insert but most of the games have come like someone scrapped them on the ground before putting them back in the case. I avoid them now for the most part. Others have said they get games in good shape.

Are they good about replacing damaged discs like that?

 
I thought you guys were kidding about this Fibbage game. What the hell is it?
Really smart trivia game from the You Don't Know Jack guys. One person hosts a room and other players can log in through their phone/computer browser, which makes it really good for streaming since people watching can play with you. It's tons of fun and pretty hilarious at times; you should check it out when Stotch streams it.

 
As much as is on sale, I own a lot of these through various sales and I don't think there is anything for me this week. I think I'm doing better with just buying to buy lately even at low prices. This will help me clearing out backlog as well :)

Man, I think I've waited so long on Dark Arisen that I'm just not interested anymore. What did you guys think about it? Easy to pass on?

Mystara a little too high for me.

They always come complete.

Wha...? I've never gotten any PS3 games in that condition, so maybe you just had bad experiences?

Since LP3 likely isn't a hot item, you might be able to get a replacement disc, but as I said above, I never received damaged discs, so hopefully you won't have to deal with that.

I have been a member for a year straight now and for short periods before that and have rented 106 games from them. I have also bought 26 games from them. Not a single time have I gotten a game that was scratched up on the bottom. You must have some really bad luck.

I have over 10 purchases from.gamefly and only one problem. Games complete and include any Dlc. They refunded my money For the game that didnt work and it was pretty painless. Most people that report problems are 360 owners because it's harder to scratch blu-ray.
 
Yeah that is why I said people say they have gotten games in good shape. From my experiences with them I've gotten bad discs. I'm even less particular than I used to be about condition since I don't keep much anymore but they were awful.

They must have heard you were going digital.

The games do almost always have the dings in the outer edges. I know people have big issues with that. Obviously, it must not affect the disc that much since I have not had issues.

The way they do ship the bought games frustrates me a bit, and I could see it causing scratches more than the way they ship rentals. I assume it is just quicker for them to get games out by tossing the game in a sleeve into the case. If they would take them out of the sleeve and put it on the spindle it would avoid any possible scratches on that last leg to a purchaser. I wonder if your mailman likes to drop kick those bubble envelopes or something.

Why did you dislike DD? And did you play DD or DD:DA?
I dont remember which I played. It was the free one from plus I think. It was boring and I just didnt "get it". Sometimes I play a game for an hour or two and I just dont see a reason to continue playing because I am not having fun. This was one of those games.

 
Nothing in the sales for me this week.  I'm going to the O's game tonight, if you all are still palying some Fibbage when I get back, wouldn't mind playing some.  Sounds like a fun concept.

Hope they clinch tonight. I'm more invested in the AL playoffs since the Braves have given up on this season. I've also got Steve Pearce on my fantasy team, so hopefully he keeps producing until I win my league's playoff.
