8Ovechkin8 262 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 WTF I just noticed the price change today. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! We play 560 for a new system then are expected to pay ~ 1/6th of the console's price to use it? That's such crap.

Sandro 251 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) WTF I just noticed the price change today. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! We play 560 for a new system then are expected to pay ~ 1/6th of the console's price to use it? That's such crap. Yep, we're getting fucked in the ass again. Happened a few years ago, the dollar is shit so prices get jacked up. Even when it returns to normal it'll take a few months for new games to be $59.99 again. I'm basically going digital or waiting for used/on sale copies right now, with the taxes it'd cost me around $79 for a new game. Fuck that noise. EDIT: I found this site through NeoGAF, dunno how good it is but everything is priced normally: https://www.videogamesplus.ca/ Edited April 19, 2014 by Sandro Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/1549-official-videogame-thread/page/15/#findComment-64442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Ovechkin8 262 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) That's painful. Considering the majority of gaming customers are mid wealth families, how are people suppose to afford such an expensive hobby. Like shit I consider myself humbly a higher than average category and I'm even struggling to figure out how I'll be able to afford this stuff if I decide to buy during boxing day.

Like shit I consider myself humbly a higher than average category and I'm even struggling to figure out how I'll be able to afford this stuff if I decide to buy during boxing day. My family is pretty well off but I don't like asking for any money. Because I'm trying to do all this online media stuff and don't earn a lot of money for myself, I don't get to buy games very often. :/ Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/1549-official-videogame-thread/page/15/#findComment-64448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandro 251 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 I wouldn't worry about it too much. If trends keep up, hold out for a couple weeks and you should be able to find used copies of games for $40. The shitty thing for me personally is I would really like to go digital and while most games are still regular price ($59.99 or lower), Sony has bumped all their games $10. Not to mention it takes forever for digital prices to come down on the PS Store. But if anyone's curious about Watch Dogs, Amazon.ca has it for $49.49 with free shipping right now. I'm on the fence about the game but I'm tempted to order it because it's $20 off and if the game sucks I can just not open it and return it haha.

Higgins 3,618 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm not worried, it just sucks to lose the extra 11 dollars that could be used on DLC or whatnot. For me to buy digital it would have to be a lot cheaper because, no trade in value and my internet speeds are 3rd world lol Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/1549-official-videogame-thread/page/15/#findComment-64522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger downside is I don't have a physical box which I really like to have, but the ease of just flipping through games on the home screen without having to switch out discs is soooooooo nice.

Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I know we all get on Kesler for his Competitive COD stuff but: WHOLE-LEE FUCK does CLG's series against TSM leave me so disappointed. You win game 1 by playing your game and forcing rotations, you throw game 2 after taking a lead by once again forcing rotations and winning the objective game, but then you get caught at fucking baron WHICH YOU KNOW TSM HAS LIGHTED UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE because they've spent the past 10 minutes making sure they were winning the vision control there and then LINK GETS CAUGHT and every single CLG fan knows that that's GG for the entire series. Game 3 was lost at the picks and bans plain and simple. Nien cannot 1v1 Dyrus basically no matter the match up and Link had a pretty bad game and series after getting caught in game 2. Rush Hour was Rush Hour but you can't really carry the game as Cait/Ali against all the engage TSM had. Nien had to get fat and that didn't even come close to happening. First game was all like: 2nd game was going well, Xpecial catches, Link. I'm thinking, "Good play, they'll only get one." BUT THEN DOUBLELIFT GOES FULL DOUBLELIFT AND NIEN DOES I HAVE NO IDEA: Game 2 ends. Whatever. They know what's worked for them all season and how they beat TSM in Game 1. They'll go back to that. Let's all calm down. Then picks and bans happened: And then the monstrosity that was Game 3 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/1549-official-videogame-thread/page/15/#findComment-64793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanesEuntDomus 442 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Gotta watch some more destiny material, I really loved the first presentation but haven't followed it much since I thought it was an XBox inclusive until if found out I was wrong about that just recently I finally got Dark Souls 2 by the way, really enjoying it so far although I have only played a little further than the first boss so far (that weird last giant or how he is called).

Sandro 251 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Bungie made a pretty big deal about going independent, it's definitely not Xbone exclusive. It's got exclusive content on PS3/PS4 actually.

Sandro 251 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare just leaked. Graphics look pretty good, Sledgehammer Games is developing and has the chance to make a game that is to the PS4/XBO as COD4 was the PS3/360. But 90% of the reason for my hype is KEVIN MOTHER FUCKIN' SPACEY. http://www.destructoid.com/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-leaked-see-the-first-video-and-images-274126.phtml Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/1549-official-videogame-thread/page/15/#findComment-68482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanesEuntDomus 442 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Dark Souls 2 is so much fun, loving the game so far after I put 20+ hours into it last week And @Sandro, yeah Kevin Spacey can make pretty much everything good and that trailer does indeed look fun, but I'm just too bored by the CoD gameplay and the crowd of people its multiplayer attracts to really consider buying a game from this series for full proce anymore...

Devise 4,475 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I reserve judgement. I skipped Ghosts but I generally end up picking a CoD up when it's cheap, I'm stressed, and I also buy a bottle of scotch. The amount of time I spend with them has gotten shorter and shorter though. I played so much CoD4 when that MP really was invented and the hybrid RPG mechanics were first infused. I played tons of MW2 as well. But as people have stated they tread so much of the same ground that I really have to be in that mood to play it. The gaming sector has changed so much since then that the concept of having to pay for a multiplayer experience is something that just isn't what it used to be. You can get tons of free to play FPS on Steam that actually perform and play relatively easily. To be honest I'm far more excited for Destiny than anything CoD does. On the topic of DS2 Romanes I still haven't gotten it. I'm playing through the rest of my file on Dark Souls that I never finished but got through a lot of. Stuck on the Anor Londo dual boss that is giving me fits. What build are you using in DS2?

Stuck on the Anor Londo dual boss that is giving me fits. What build are you using in DS2? Almost 100% agreed with your post. I kind of dislike the CoD series for what it represents, but I still find myself picking up about every second game of the series when it's down to about 20 €, primarily for the multiplayer, although just like you I noticed that I spend less and less time in them with each game. Skipped Ghosts as well, but going by my steam stats the trend is pretty clear: MW 2 - 133 hours, BO1 - 74 hours, BO2 - 48 hours and so far I didn't have any motivation to get Ghosts. I'm not really using any guides for my DS2 build or anything, so there are probably a ton of things I could do better. Right now I'm using a sword and shield combo with a longsword+fire and a 100% shield. Since the shield is pretty heavy and I'm also using a heavy armor I had to put a lot of points into vitality to get my equipment load up. I'm around Lvl. 100 now and have both Strength and Vitality in the 30-35 range and Dexterity at 25. It's working pretty well so far, although I am not quite sure if I should try and level up a different weapon because I found the longsword so early in the game. It is by far my best weapon at the moment since I have it at +7 I think but I don't know how well it will hold up later in the game so I will probably have to look into this a bit soon. I never got through DS1 as well, I'd say I played about a third of it until I lost interest, don't really know why. Which build are you using?
