Enter the dragon and Robocop 4K blue rays.

 

[DrFigs]

Bought a box set of Lord of the Rings books 17-ish bucks. Never read them before.

Couldn't find a ps portal

 

[Party McHardy]

My backlog kept me in check this time, I got a couple indies that have been on my list for a while but that’s it. Feels good.

 

[TransTrender]

Nothing really.
Before Black Friday I got myself a 65" Samsung S90C to replace my older Samsung in the master. I also got the SteelSeries - Arctis Nova Pro to replace my old Arctis Pros but they were complete shit with terrible WiFi signal breakdowns and buzzing when BT and ANC are turned on. Replaced those with the Turtle Beach - Stealth Pro and they are awesome.

As far as Video Game deals themselves: Nothing. Not a single game on my physical media 'watch list' went on sale this year between the PS5 and the Switch.
Getting a little nervous about the state of physical game media going forward.

[IFireflyl]

I got two 4TB Samsung 990 Pro NVME drives, an RGB dodecahedron thing that's pretty cool looking decor, some metal D&D dice, a Lytmi Fantasy 3 Pro along with a pair of Lytmi LED Light Bars and a 16.5' Lytmi LED Strip starter kit, and, for the big boy...

A 77" Samsung S90C QD-OLED TV and the Samsung HW-Q990C sound bar with wireless rear speakers.

 

[Trunx81]

Got a Xbox Series S with Fifa 23 and a 15€ gift card. Does anyone know where to insert the disc? And is it backwards compatible?

 

[coffinbirth]

I bought up a bunch of old BC games on Xbox. Between that and physical, I think I about have them all now. Still a few that haven't gone on sale that I've noticed.

I tend to buy physically used from pawn shops and GameFly, so I've been getting better than Black Friday prices within a month or two of release for the better part of 10 years now.

Also got;

 

[tkscz]

Got my kid's Christmas gifts, an Xbox Series S (he wanted the series S so not a word out of any of you) and a Quest 2.

[twilo99]

Tetris Effect connected is $20 on xbox , redeemed some ms rewards points and got it. I thought it will eventually make it back onto gamepass but no luck so..

Some new bathroom rugs. Oh, the excitement!

I thought about picking up a Quest 2 for 250, but I don't think I'm ready to dive into VR. I have enough isolating hobbies as it is.

Were those switch games the $40 digital deals? I've been looking for decent priced physical switch games and not seeing much out there

 

[HerpDerpstreit]

Got a Legion Go 1TB for $600. Twas an open item at MicroCenter so not really a Black Friday deal.

 

[Phase]

I only bought Ara Fell and Age of Decadence. Both looked very interesting.

 

[yet_another_alt]

Legion Go 1TB
Dave the Diver
Grim Dawn Definitive Edition
Crusader Kings 3 Royal Edition + rest of the DLC

I'm debating grabbing Tetris Effect but $20 for Tetris feels steep.

 

[diffusionx]

RE4R PS5
Jedi Survivor PS5
Jagged Alliance 3 on Steam
Ultrawings 2 and Red Matter 2 on Meta

Legion Go 1TB
Dave the Diver
Grim Dawn Definitive Edition
Crusader Kings 3 Royal Edition + rest of the DLC

I'm debating grabbing Tetris Effect but $20 for Tetris feels steep.

It's worth it in VR.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

I bought Arkham Knight for 4 bux. Need something for between now and February.

I do have to say, those of you buying a ton of games - do you actually expect to finish them all?

 

[yet_another_alt]

It's worth it in VR.

It's definitely something I've thought about. Chances are a Quest 3 is my next big videogame related purchase.

if you are going to get a Quest 3 then you should wait and get the Meta native version imo.

 

[gothmog]

Were there any Quest 3 deals?

 

[Durin]

Great taste dude! What are you gonna play/watch first?

Well the first Switch game I already started playing is Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Haven't played a Kirby game in forever, much less one in 3d, and the reviews made it look great. To get the best use of the OLED though, I've also been playing through the last game on my PC backlog, the Dead Space Remake....which given the contrast heavy lighting in HDR looks like a completely different game vs. on my older IPS LED. Just night and day better and I never want to go back to anything less again.

I watched John Wick 4 last night to try out movies, and that also looked incredible. Everything just pops, the motion is so smooth, and even SDR content like Kirby looks great.

Were those switch games the $40 digital deals? I've been looking for decent priced physical switch games and not seeing much out there

I saw some similar deals on digital for a few, but when it comes to Switch games I like owning the cute cartridges, so they're all retail. To be fair though, Mario Wonder I got on Ebay new/sealed, Fire Emblem: Three Houses was Ebay pre-owned, and Kirby was pre-owned at Gamestop all with with boxes in nice condition. The other Switch games were new on sale during Black Friday at Best Buy.

 

[EDMIX]

RoboCop on $40 on Steam (might be same price on PSN) Who the fuck let this game look this fucking good? Holy shit!!! They nail the look and feel of the city.

Eastward also only $12!

 

[ShakenG]

No games but i did get Sony A5000 Soundbar for $1100 Aus. Saved $300.
Sounds ridiculous.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I picked up MK1 for $40 on PS5 from Walmart. They didn’t have me at launch and the whole DLC Fatality thing was sad. I am still a MK fan and $40 seemed like a decent price. I played it for a bit. It’s not blowing my mind, but it looks cool. The loading screen for the menu is

 

[Icymanipulator]

MK1 and a bunch of stuff from Victorias Secret

 

[coffinbirth]

Yer guitar is backwards bro.

This damn sinister hand...

 

[yet_another_alt]

I bought Arkham Knight for 4 bux. Need something for between now and February.

I do have to say, those of you buying a ton of games - do you actually expect to finish them all?

I used to buy only like 4 games a year but handheld PCs have changed that. The Deck has helped me clear a ton of my backlog. I look forward to my Legion Go arriving since I have quite a few games that aren't compatible with the Deck that I expect a Windows based device will fix.

if you are going to get a Quest 3 then you should wait and get the Meta native version imo.

The thing is getting the PC version means I have access to it on more devices including a future VR headset.

Were there any Quest 3 deals?

Didn't find any. Too new I guess. Best was regular price on Newegg but it came with a $25 Meta gift card which wasn't a huge enough deal for me.

 

[Gudji]

EDIT: Wrong thread pardon me.

 

[kunonabi]

Dirty Dancing 4K
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within 4K
Disney's Cinderella 4K(the original)

Bought most of my discounted games before BF but I might to try to get marvel ultimate alliance 3 off the eshop.

 

[Kupfer]

Not gaming related but
2 x 20.000 mah powerbanks
Mantis X10 ELITE

 

[haxan7]

I ordered a 77 inch C2 and received a C3. Didn't that happen to someone else here also? Maybe the retailer (third party seller on Walmart) ran out of C2s and used a C3 to fulfill the order.

I paid $2000.

 

[diffusionx]

The thing is getting the PC version means I have access to it on more devices including a future VR headset.

totally, i just found once I got a quest 3 the standalone mode is just way more convenient and my preferred way to play, as expected. I have TEC on Steam and was thinking about the native version lmao.

 

[Gambit2483]

Does Cyber Monday also counts as BF haul? If so, I will add to the pile the two copies of Atelier Ryza 1 and 2 for the Switch that I've ordered earlier today.

I've always wondered, do these games play like the "Tales of" series?

 

[LavitzSlambert]

EDIT: Wrong thread pardon me.

Firesale behavior without firesale prices. Absolutely no brains by anyone in upper mismanagement.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I've always wondered, do these games play like the "Tales of" series?

So the Atelier games are mostly known for having a cozy atmosphere, as each game's main narrative focuses on things like alchemy, friendship, and personal growth. While both series are JRPGs I would say that the main difference between Tales and Atelier lies in the combat which in Atelier Ryza trilogy is turn-based (there's also a strong emphasis on crafting/alchemy).

If you have any passing interest into these types of games I'd recommend watching a couple of Atelier reviews from Ircha gaming. She does a pretty good job at highlighting all the parts that make atelier games fun to play (or not if you're not into "cozy" games). XD
