Met up with an old friend yesterday and we got chatting about the Infamous series. My ex girlfriend was really into these at the time so I’ve always felt like I’d ‘played’ them in a way but he convinced me to play through them myself, so I grabbed a copy on the way home for a whopping £2.50 👍 apparently the gameplay hasn’t aged particularly well but the story is solid.

@AgentCooper I also bought Zombie Army 4 and Sniper Elite 5. Along with Zombie Army Trilogy, I think I'm pretty much set with these games. Don't know when I'll get around to them, but I might continue my playthrough of V2 in the near future since it was so much fun.

Did you buy the first inFAMOUS on PS3? That one probably hasn't aged as well as the second game but I still remember having a blast with it.

@KidRyan Nice haul! I thought about getting Bayo 3 via that deal, but I'm already swamped in games as is.

Which one you playing first?

During the weekend, I was in a mood to buy some games and wanted to get some unique titles. I decided then to go for some visual novels and by pure coincidence, all of them ended up being Japanese horror VNs, lol.

I got some PS4 games but I'd rather write one post instead of another one in the other thread about these purchases. Anyway, so I bought Death Mark and Raging Loop on PS4 as well as The Letter and Scar of the Doll on Switch. I've been eyeing the first two titles for a long time and while it would've been nice to get them on Switch, there simply weren't any in stock. So I'll have to settle with playing them through Remote Play on Vita, which is still nice. Both games look very interesting so I'm looking forward to playing them.

I haven't seen much about the latter two. I have heard praise about The Letter and it's on sale now for €10. Given that the game is 20+ hours, I think it was worth buying it. There's not much about Scar of the Doll online, but I decided to give it a chance anyway to see if it's any good.

Well, I definitely won't have a shortage of horror VNs to play lol. Which is good to know in case I get through Paranormasight and I want to play more horror VNs.

Just ordered a second-hand copy of Alpha Protocol on the PS3, hopefully this one will actually turn up 🤞

@colonelkilgore Holy heck, good luck with its platinum! Seem to remember it asking a little too much of me for me to consider earning it. Will be real interested to see what you make of the game, given the dissonance between its potential and its execution. Hope your copy arrives safe!

@RogerRoger well it’s been dispatched… which is more than happened last time 😅

I don’t know a great deal about the game tbh apart from the fact that it’s an obsidian RPG based within the world of espionage (tbh that’s all I need to know 😁). Really interested by your comment about its potential vs its execution. As the game seems to be somewhat of an enigma, maybe I’ll dust off the typewriter and write my second ever reader review. 🤓

@colonelkilgore Yeah, don't look up anything else about it, and you'll hopefully be pleasantly surprised. I've played it through quite a few times, both on PS3 and PC, and still swing wildly between a couple of different viewpoints on what to make of it. Looking forward to that review (no pressure, though)!

Just bought Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp and Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling on Switch for roughly €10 each. It's been a long time I've played anything Danganronpa so I'm actually looking forward to seeing all the characters again even if it's not a traditional Danganronpa game. I've also wanted to get Bug Fables for a long time now seeing as how it's a Paper Mario clone and for €10, I felt like it was finally time to buy it.

I also bought The Coma: Recut and The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters on Switch for roughly €3 in total earlier this week. I've been interested in checking out these games but they've always cost a bit too much for my taste. For around €1 each though, it doesn't get better than that.

@LtSarge Let me know what you think of The Coma games. I've been eyeing them an extremely long time (ever since the original launched on Steam years back), but have just never gotten around to buying them.

@Ralizah Will do! I'm honestly not expecting too much from them, but they still look like intriguing games. There aren't many 2D survival horror titles either. So hopefully I'll get some enjoyment out of them!

@LtSarge I love the art-style.

It's weird. As cheap as they've gone, and as long as I've eyed them, you would think I'd have taken the plunge by now. But I've just never been tipped over the edge, so to speak.

I didn't get on with Bug Fables, but I know a lot of people love it. Hopefully you enjoy it more than I did.

Picked up Cyberpunk 2077 on Series X since I had some rewards points built up. It cost me £4.99 in the end so I’m pretty happy with that. I’ve been waiting years to play it but have been put off with all the whohar around it. It’s looking like it’ll be my winter game unless Starfield swallows all my time.

Always had a soft spot for the RPG 'Dracula: The Resurrection'. Picked up that and both sequels for a mere 69p via the GoG sale.
