D2 appeals to me. I'm cheap enough to wait for it to go on sale. Black Friday holds a definite $30 purchase of Battlefailed 5 and a potential D2 if it's available at that price coz I loved the first one.

In other news, Free Overwatch weekend November 18-20.

I hate complaining about this every single time, but what is the point of selling hard copy PC games when they are 25gb+ in size and only comes with one installation disk. For Christ's sake.

EDIT:
Literally received just then:


I know that PCMR wankers have a thorn up their asses about superior Emulation, but I think it's cool that Nintendo had a neat idea about reviving some old classics. And $90au for a nice looking thing on your desk that plays Kirby, Zelda and Final Fantasy is pretty darn cool. Plus having store credit lessens the cost of buying a stupid novelty.

they're selling for $600 on eBay already
people are fucking ridiculous

[ThorZ]

Got mine coming on saturday! also just got Dishonoured 2 so im hoping its going to be awesome like the first one

[Andrew]

Dishonored 2 is pretty darn rad. I've only played an hour and a half-ish and am enjoying playing the usual Ghost/Non-Lethal wankery.

There's actually an option where you can play through without using the Powers, but Blink is such a great game mechanic that I don't know why you wouldn't want to use it.

I'm in a similar boat; I liked the first Dishonored enough to want to play the second, but not enough to pay full price for the second.

I really want to get Watch Dogs 2 but I have to fix my computer first.
Hopefully the reviews don't show that it sucks (or do, I got Watch Dogs for something like $10 less than a year after it came out).

[odontophobia]

Anybody playing either of the new final fantasy titles?

World of final fantasy, realize xv isn't out yet. Just looking for some first hand experience.

[snipelfritz]

Still looking forward to Breath of the Wild. Man, I fucking love Zelda.

+1 gonna get a switch for the first console since GameCube.

Scratch that, gonna flip it and buy pedals.

But it doesn't have Blaster Master.

Man, aside from a couple of Voice Actors not reprising their roles, Dishonored 2 is great. Really, really amazing level designs. I'm genuinely pleased that I avoided the press release info and trailers because there's some bat shit insane things that goes on. The Non lethal 'Assassinations' are a fucktonne more morbid and evil than just killing them.

[ThorZ]

gonna play though as non lethal with one character and then play though killing using the other one i reckon. So far so good for me although somtimes i want to knock out all the guards non lethal style but then find its probably gonna take too long or be nearly impossible

[space6oy]

i preordered dishonored 2 and picked it up thursday and still haven't played it yet thanks to feeling guilty about not finishing my second time through the last of us. trying to asap...


i hadn't heard about the NES, that's fucking awesome!

But it doesn't have Blaster Master.

also doesn't have solar jetman. that game is an awesome bitch. i never made it past level 4.

[UglyCasanova]

Fudge. I didn't know Dishonored 2 was out. The first one was one of the best games I've ever played.
