Think I'm finally done with the sale, so posting my haul. A few things I was happy to get. A few things I didn't expect to get. Overall, eh. I always spend more than I think I will, but card money built up over months and a $20 Gaben card, so dont really care that much.

DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark

Seraph

Everspace - I bit on this even though I told myself I wasn't going to. If it doesn't blow me away I'm refunding it.  Refunded.

Streets of Fury EX - Outstanding beat em up and only $2. No online multi though. Bastards.

Lara Croft GO

OmniBus - This is destined for a bundle, but was in a Devolver pack and the only thing I needed so it was like $0.60.

Mankind Divided Season Pass

Witcher 3 Expansion Pass

Dishonored 2

NBA Playgrounds

Was tempted by Nier, but couldn't do it. That's already my #1 target for Fall/Winter. I may still get it since I refunded Everspace, but the constant back and forth is annoying. I miss the day of Steam sales being all "hell yeah Im getting it" and not looking back lol.

I definitely didn't mean to shrug it off. I checked the GS thread and saw it was pretty big returns in relatively small amount of trips, granted you luck out and find the games with the high trade in value at different stores to buy, trade in, etc.

Personally, I'm just lazy. GS around here aren't super close. Like 20-30 minutes in opposite directions, which isn't bad. Best Buys are even scarcer. And then being the lazy PC guy I've become, I'm just not super motivated to do it. At best, I'd end up with a cheap Switch and PS4, but the Switch has nothing I want to play right now and the PS4 has 1 game I want to play.

I always tell myself I'm going to do one of these GS flip things one day, but then when it comes around I just can't really get myself to leave the house.

I can't speak for anybody else here but since I avoid Gamestop like the plague I know nothing about trade-in values or GS credit or anything like that and would have no clue how to go about doing something like this even if I wanted to. It might be an easy way to get a Switch or Gabenbux for people who actually use Gamestop regularly but even though I game on various platforms (well backlog on them is more honest) I have never traded in a game in my life and as stated, have not been inside of a Gamestop in a very, very long time.

And as far as things I already have, the only newish game I have that I would let go of is Until Dawn since I have played it and it is about to be free anyway, the rest of my unwanted games are random PS3, Xbox and PS2 games that I doubt are worth crap in the first place. If I tried to do this I'd probably end up losing money instead of gaining. ::shrug::

As for the sale, I have bought more than a few games and still have card money so I might buy more before it ends, particularly maybe some dlc for games I have. Most of the games I am interested in like Berserk are too expensive to backlog even with card money. I thought about the Valve complete pack for CS:GO but at this point I doubt I would get around to playing it at all since there are so many newer shooters anyway.

I think I was more excited about my GoG haul and it was all ancient crap. lol

 
Thanks Steam.

Not much for me this time:

  • Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics
  • The Bug Butcher
  • 99 Vidas
  • Handsome Mr. Frog
  • Pharaoh Rebirth+
  • BLUE REVOLVER
  • Commander Keen Complete Pack
  • Wolf Pack
Total $22.22, I felt that was a good number to stop at (plus there's Fire Pro Wrestling next week)

I'm a big Batman nerd, so I'm always interested in Batman stories. Hey, I'm the guy who watched the theatrical version of Batman v. Superman and the extended version back-to-back to see the differences.

Meh, I didn't care much for Batman v. Superman. Affleck is a pretty good Bruce Wayne, but was a horrible Batman. Also, that movie was too damn long for its own good.

I did like the first two Tim Burton Batman movies + of course Nolan's 3 Batman movies.

I think it's underrated (I know that's not a popular opinion). I actually thought his Batman was pretty good too; the problem was that you really only saw Batman in action during the "Martha rescue" sequence. He moves surprisingly fluidly in that very bulky-looking suit.

I'm going to spoiler-tag this next bit in case there's someone out there who hasn't seen it and still desires to do so. Also, this is a long one so if you're not a fan of my walls of text, please skip.

I agree and disagree that the movie was too long. In a strict sense, it was obviously too long. The larger problem is that the narrative was attempting to accomplish too many things at once, so in a sense this is story that could have been better told over the course of two movies. The film was tasked with bringing Batman and Superman together as antagonists in this new DCEU, introducing Wonder Woman and (much more briefly) the other members of the Justice League, actually setting up the forthcoming Justice League movie, and having a confrontation between our enemies-turned-allies and a new overwhelmingly powerful threat (Doomsday). It was just too much and it was never going to work well.

The biggest downfall of any of these superhero movies is when they have either too many villains or poorly-written/acted/casted ones. BvS fell victim to both of these, in the sense that the Doomsday subplot felt forced and made remarkably little sense and the casting of Lex Luthor was frankly awful. I cannot recall a Luthor in the history of film and TV versions of Superman who was worse than Jesse Eisenberg. I feel as though this is completely Zack Snyder's fault. This also happened in Spider-Man 3, which had too many villains and was poorly-written in general terms; Tobey Maguire gets a lot of crap for that film but he was just doing what was in the script.

I think if anybody could have made a movie with this much going on work, it should have been Snyder, whose adaptation of Watchmen was pretty great. In the end, though, he did not succeed. There are other things I could pick apart, like the weird dream sequence with Batman and Superman in the desert, Superman seemingly talking to the ghost of his father, and the exact nature of Luthor's plan, but the film did have good parts. I thought the main cast did a great job and there were some good character moments: Martha Kent telling her adopted son that he owed humans nothing, the scene with Bruce and Alfred at the ruins of Wayne Manor, the opening scenes in Gotham with Bruce running toward the devastation. Overall the movie needed to be tighter and it would have been very good. Because of the various problems with the script, casting, and overall objectives of the film, it was merely okay.

 
Okay, so I emailed Indie Gala about not being able to buy the Die Young Deluxe with ZGold.  They linked me to Die Young on the store and I bought it and no Downward key so I emailed them and they just emailed me a Downward key.  So it looks like they are honoring it in a roundabout way, which is nice.

Surprisingly, IG has a solid rep as a dev/pub for me.  Blockstorm is a great game.  

 
Speaking of batman...i'm playing arkham origins right now, it's fine. It seems like it has a poor reputation but if you like arkham city you should like this, it's basically arkham city 2.0,  although there are some bits where it's choppy/glitchy (this doesn't impact it too much though). That said I'm playing on PS3 so not sure if there is a significant difference in performance between platforms. It's definitely worth the 5 bucks it's on sale for all the time.

Origin got its rep on a rough start but when I played it a last year it was a pretty amazing game, truth be told. I liked allot of what was added and whatnot. I also liked that NPC conversations did repeat endlessly like in City.

Saw this in my queue this morning... and its not on fox's wish list so I figured I should point it out for when it does release.

Thanks, Humble has actually been promoting it and selling it for a while now, but no reviews so no clue if it's any good:

I just beat this over the weekend and started the Cold, Cold Heart DLC. If you get to the end credits, there's some good audio if you let them run. The guy that does the Joker's voice is so good and there's some bridge-building between the end of the game and Arkham Asylum.

Fun game, though...I'm with you on it just being more of the same but that's plenty for me since I enjoyed the previous ones so much. Arkham Knight will be next!

This is me.

I tried to flip something to gamestop once. It didn't turn out. I got a few dollars more in credit than I spent on the game. Not sure if the trade in value changed, the promotion just expired, or I did something wrong.

But Tim Burton only did two Batman movies :booty:

Since people are talking BvS.

My biggest problems were it tried to do too much and I felt the initial advertising was misleading. I only watched the first trailer (I tend to avoid trailers because they spoil so much) but I assumed they were going with a "Superman is corrupted, which I assumed would be because of red kryptonite (going by Smallville), and Batman has to bring him to his senses" story.

A million dollars, a beautiful wife, and a beautiful mistress.

Like now, people were talking about getting tons of credit for things.

Someone mentioned getting $20+ for a game that I remembered seeing at a pawn shop a few days earlier.

I went back to the pawn shop and paid $4-5 for the game at the pawn shop and got like $6-7 in credit at Gamestop.

Based on all the threads, the greedy and stupid have emerged, so they expect to buy in once for less than $100 and somehow make a grand in 'free money". (Sigh. Poor gamestop employees. Their next week is probably going to be a shitshow of slimy bastards.)

Corporate or the customers... It's always a shitshow of slimy bastards for them.
 
Pretty sure I'm done with the sale so here is my haul:

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Kingdom Rush Frontiers

Total War Warhammer: King and the Warlord

Total War Warhammer: Beastmen

Total War Warhammer: Realm of the Wood Elves

Halo Spartan Strike

Hard West: Scars of Freedom

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Commandos Pack

Cost me in total $45.48 although $30 something of it was steam wallet.  Bought as many dlc as games, am tempted on a few other things but I will hold off until bundles or winter.  Of these games the only one I've played some of is Kingdom Rush Frontiers, really good tower defense game (this and its prequel) if you like that sort of thing.

My alt just lost market access because my last purchase with it was a year ago today. Does that matter if I'm just going to take all the cards for my main, or is it going to flag them as unmarketable?

No, it just means that you need to trade your cards to your main to sell them. I've been doing that for the last few years

I don't typically lapse into comic fanboy hate, but I REALLY hate Gotham.

It tries to play up grimdark grim and gritty movie/80-90's Batman with lots of moralizing about the line and all of that, at the same time dialing up the camp to a level equal to or greater than 60's Batman with all of the various one-note villians- burning through source material like they're a kid trapped in a room full of candy and told they're only allowed access to that room for a half hour.

As such, it's awful, and I can't imagine what audience it appeals to.

Garfield Kart is truly awful. Unless you're just buying it for the +1, I strongly suggest you play that for a bit while you're still in the refund window just to see how bad it is.

Took this one from group three. Group one and two were already redeemed, and I already owned group four's game.

Thanks.
