God of War Ragnarok (PS5) - $35 from Amazon: Yes, I’m super late to this one but I’m glad I got it. Playing it now and it’s incredible.

Hogwarts Legacy (PS5) $30 from Target: i’m a big Harry Potter fan, so hopefully this one will be good.

The Last of Us Part I (PS5) $40 from Target: I know this one is not really a great deal, but I gave my remaster PS4 copy away, and I want to replay the first game. Might as well.

I was hoping for a Forbidden West Complete Edition deal…but ai guess there won’t be one this year.

1. Hogwarts Legacy ps5, $40 - this game is amazing and I'm meh on potter.
2. Against the storm PC, $20 - Cool city builder roguelike
3. High Rise City PC, $23 - supply chain city builder, good compliment to skylines 2 (which I got a few weeks ago).
4. Gothic 2 switch, $23 - pre-order sale comes out next week.
5. Pinball fx core tables, Ps5 - $3

If this counts getting Xbox series X, $450 as a gift (I didn't buy it) Couldn't think of something to ask for xmas/birthday gift and this fit the bill of being under $500. Also since the rumor of no disc drive on the revision I wanted to make sure I get this as I never owned an Xbox. There are 360 and xb games I never played as well as ps3 Era multiplats that aren't on ps4/5.

Series s would of been fine until I read they are delisting games I want like bad company games, splinter cell, mirrors edge, etc... So at least with a disc drive I can still by those 360 era disc's.

You don't have to justify getting an X. Phil worked his magic on you, happens to the best of us. The gold conversion trick, while neutered, still provides a large discount.

 

[Florin4k4]

[KillaJamm]

Street Fighter 6 for £24, always been a Mortal Kombat guy but I'm really enjoying it so far.
Forspoken for £10, still in the packaging just going to keep it till I finish up on what I'm playing at the moment.
Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC for £10.
The Chant for £6
And picked Red Dead Redemption 2 on PlayStation for £16, I already own and completed it on my Xbox but fancy finally doing a second play through trying to get the platinum.

When you start forspoken, go into the options first, a lot fo staff that you can change to make traversal and combat better, try some stuff to see what is better for you.

[Quezacolt]

Red Dead Redemption for Switch
Robocop
Super Mario Wonder - This one was 38€ because of black friday, had to get it right away

 

[Fart Knight]

Some games on Steam. For my Oled Deck

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Final Fantasy XVI digital for ps5 47,99 euro…. Loved the demo

 

[Yerd]

What SVS sub did you get?

Micro
Already have the sb1000 that I love.

Cool, thanks for the info. I’ll have to keep my eyes open on future deals. Looks like Amazon is sold out.

Pretty sure its still up on samsung's site.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Celeste (Switch) - 4€
Technical top Patagonia - 80€ (not on sale)
SIS Nutrition gels for running - approx. 90€, but the sale was half off so that 90€ gets you a lot

 

[midnightAI]

A new phone (not as good as the free XBox Series S on black Friday 3 years ago, Bose Quiet comfort earphones this time) and a leaf rake

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

I already bought too many games this year and my backlog is too big. I won't be buying any more games or gaming hardware till next year.


I did take advantage of the Black Friday sales going on in the Market Place for MS Flight Sim and I ended up buying a bunch of planes and a helo. I bought the F-15, Su-57, Eurofighter Typhoon, MIG 29, F-14 Tomcat, and AH64D Apache . I had a lot of fun flying them in VR and I'd say it's money well spent for me at least.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

• 13th gen direct die water block from EK
• Noctua 140 mm fans (3x)
• Super Mario Wonder (as of now is my GOTY)
• Remnant 2 for PC

 

[Roman Empire]

Surprisingly not much of anything game related. Just bought The Crew Motorfest on sale. That 40% off with the Year 1 season pass made the wait worth it.

A heavy discount for a game that isn't 3 months old that I was already interested into? Say no more.

The player population seems health enough, and this is the first time I enjoy the handling from a game of this series. So I think this was a good investment, even the smaller map appeals to me compared to The Crew 1 and 2.

Nice. I picked up an SVS SB2000 Pro earlier in the year.

Okay mate thanks for the heads up, anything is particular you would recommend changing?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

The only thing I picked up for myself was a couple of 4k's. I got Highlander and BR 2049. I did just get some new speakers and a subwoofer for my pc setup so I couldn't justify anything more for myself.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

This year sucked.

• P5R - $25 (Best deal but same as last year and I already own it, bought so my SO can play it on Switch)
• DK:TF - $30 (already own on Wii-U used and cheap but I’m a Switch slut and don’t even feel good bc the deal wasn’t good)
• A $9 68w USB-C/A charger on Woot
• A $15 USB-C HDMI adapter not on sale but I needed a multi monitor workaround for my shitty TB3 dock and Apple refuses to support MST on Macs.

 

[Garibaldi]

Games (All PC):

• Bramble
• Olli Olli World Rad Edition
• Risk of Rain Returns
• Blasphemous
• Ghost Recon Wildlands Ultimate
• Ghost Recon Breakpoint Ultimate
• Talos Principle Series
• Slay the Princess

Hardware:

Also got a new vaccum (Shark Stratos 860 Pet Pro) as the current Dyson we have is absolutely useless now we have a big dog that moults all over

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Got the G915 Logitec G Lightspeed keyboard for $200 (down from $245; I needed a new keyboard badly).
Kingdom Hearts II.8 for $42 from EGS
Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line for $59.99 (down from $99).

That's pretty much it, I think that's enough for one year lol.

Thanks for the reminder on Theatrhythm, I always forget to snag that when there are sales.

 

[Thabass]

Thanks for the reminder on Theatrhythm, I always forget to snag that when there are sales.

I was waiting for almost a full year for that Premium to go on sale. Finally got it.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I was waiting for almost a full year for that Premium to go on sale. Finally got it.

I thought it only came with the song packs for you also get the individual music singles. Well worth the cost imo.

 

[angrod14]

Super Mario Odyssey, Luigi's Mansion 3, Switch Pro Controller, WD_Black SN850P 2TB, Apple TV 4K and Homepod (2nd Gen).

 

[Krieger]

• Mac Mini M2 docking station for 55€ (50% off)
• One Piece Film Red 4k pre-order for 28€ (20% off)

 

[Fabieter]

I'm on the fence about buying FF16 for $35. The horrible image quality and unstable framerate is preventing me from doing so.

Combat is super stable. The IQ could be better tho but do it.

 

[Archaic101]

I grabbed Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania for PS5 for $20...and that's literally it (already had Spiderman 2 and Starfield). Still pretty happy with my haul, though.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I bought it.

 

[cireza]

Picked a Cowabunga Collection Limited on Xbox. Quite happy with the deal. Will put this under the Christmas Tree.

 

[kurisu_1974]

Impulse bought this Atari / MyArcade Gamestation Plus.

It takes roms using the SD card slot but it'll need to be hacked to really do what I want.

 

[Gambit2483]

Picked a Cowabunga Collection Limited on Xbox. Quite happy with the deal. Will put this under the Christmas Tree.

Xbox games probably had some of the best/lowest priced deals I've seen this Black Friday.

If you're an Xbro, you have no excuse to not actually buy games this holiday

 

[Shakka43]

Mostly Steam Deck centered, some are double dips.

 

[GymWolf]

Okay mate thanks for the heads up, anything is particular you would recommend changing?

Go into the topic of the demo here on gaf (it should be not hard to find on google), read that one, i think on page 3 there are some of my advices.

 

[cireza]

Xbox players buy games you know

 

[brian0057]

A couple of cutting boards for my kitchen and a fridge.

 

[Yerd]

If you liked mutant year zero, this is unmissable.

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I did like Mutant, and it's not my typical game style. I will be checking this out now.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Picked up Octopath Traveler 2 for $30 on PS5 at Amazon.

 

[GymWolf]

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I did like Mutant, and it's not my typical game style. I will be checking this out now.

Mutant was my first game in the genre so i understand the feeling.

This one is basically an improved, bigger sequel but in another universe.

I love how they make these games because it's not just rigid missions on a list ala xcom, the game is basically an isometric adventure until you enter combat, and you can still kill single enemies in stealth to not have too many of them when you actually enter the battle, their style is pretty unique and the only way i could play and enjoy an xcom type of game.

This one also has a very decent lore and worldbuilding and the graphic are still ace for an isometric indie.

It's 14 euros on cdkeys, you can't go wrong.

Got one of those for half price. It’s massive but works well for me as I hate dual monitors and ultrawides.

One big downside is no headphone jack on the back. It’s only on the front. I usually run a headphone/aux out from my monitor to my speakers since I have multiple computers on one monitor.


Also got a 2tb Wd black pcie4 for $89

 

[Mister Wolf]

Picked up Judgement and Lost Judgement on Steam.

 

[winjer]

If you liked mutant year zero, this is unmissable.

I played that a few months ago. Not a as terrible as Corruption 2029, when compared to Mutant Year Zero, it was quite the disappointment.
And consider that Mutant Year Zero has a 90% user score on Steam. Nut Miasma Chronicles is at a 78%.

 

[ikbalCO]

I'm on the fence about buying FF16 for $35. The horrible image quality and unstable framerate is preventing me from doing so.

Do it.

You won’t regret it.

The first 10 hour alone is worth the 35 dollars.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Used the Epic coupon to get Alan Wake II for $35.

That's it for me.

 

[CGNoire]

Tobii eye tracker 5 20% off

Had a trackIR 5 but I'm so fucking tired of the clip jank and the pro clip broke, and it's wired, etc.

What are you playing with it?

Edit: ok nevermind..read your response above.
