I have this game now thanks to a Games with Gold choice a few months ago. I also put all the novels on my book list. There's still a few to be translated to English coming soon according to wiki. I forget where the game is on my list of games, but I don't think it's that long a game, so I'll be getting to it fairly shortly.
I clearly remember when it came out. I was on the fence about a day-one purchase, so I waited. Finally I have it.
New Vegas sounds pretty cool. Might have to get into that one.
I'm trying to get into the Monkey Island games. I really like them but not when the puzzles get too bizarre. Same with Grim Fandago and the upcoming Day of the Tentacle remake. I'll get these games and then curse them.
I came across two From Software games I never knew were by them before: Otogi and Lost Kingdoms. Those guys did a lot of games.
I was talking to the Gamestoper about how the Skylanders figures have taken a lot more store space over time and he asked me if I was getting into them. I said, "oh heck no!" What I meant by that was that I really want to but I can't get carried away with it. It's so easy with so many figures for that franchise, and I love the art style of them too. I could serious get crazy with that. I am going to get Skylanders at some point, but I'm going to be real careful with how many figures I get. I'm going to be very picky about them. I'm that way about amiibos right now. I only got the one I've been thinking about for months.
I played a demo of it on one of the Official Playstation Magazine's demo discs. I think I even still have it too. I had some trouble with the controls in the game. I don't know. . . I can't wait to try it again and see what is was that got me stuck. Shadow I might have played a demo of as well. Don't remember anything about it though.
Bonk is good quality platforming. I love grabbing walls with my teeth. That kid's got moxie.
I'm trading everything in after I play them this time, only, I'm wondering about these collections. I was going to keep them, but now I'm thinking of trading. It;'s going to take me a long time to get through my entire collection, and I won't have time to go back to them anyway. Plus, I can pick them up again on Amazon if I really want to.
My controller has a slight drift in the left analog stick, and when I try to navigate the menus in CAC the highlight zips across all the menu items really fast. I have to hold the stick in a position and use the d-pad to select anything. Super annoying. I really want to get a real arcade and play these games on cabinets like they were designed to be played.
I got an NES, the original type, when I started collecting in the mid 90s. I remember playing Dig Dug and Gradius. There were more, but I don't remember - probably Zelda though. Later I got a top loader (NES-101) style deck and used it mainly for Wizardry, but I pick up new games from time to time. I just saw a mint-in-box NES-101 at my retro store going for $300. I guess that model is in demand right now. I'm not giving mine up though.
