Picked up Hitman 2 in CeX for the pricely sum of €1

Optimus Prime · 29-12-2013 07:38PM

Traded in GTA5 in smyths as i lost interest in it after about 6 hours play. got 32 euro for it so bought New Super Mario bros on the DS and NSMB2 on the 3DS as i never played them. Also just bought that Zelda 3ds XL off amazon, though i wont be allowed have it until march haha..

CiDeRmAn · 29-12-2013 07:44PM

I've given the idea of trading in GTAV some thought as well.
I have barely played it since I got it, putting more time into Hotline Miami and the like.
Yet it's worth a few bob in CEX....
So many decisions!
Of course, I'd probably buy it again shortly afterwards, as is the way of Ciderman

Optimus Prime · 29-12-2013 07:50PM

I played it for a few hours but i lost interest in it to be honest, I know its a good game but with two young kids i dont get to sit for ages and just play a game and ignore everything else for hours, i only get to play an hour or so at a time and you just cant get into games like this playing them here and there.

GTA V only works if you have hours and hours to sit in front of the TV. I've done some 5-7 hour stints on it (haven't gone near it in a few weeks now) and it's absolutely brilliant. If I'd the time to commit to it properly I'd have definitely finished it long ago.

It is worth finding the time for ... but if you'll likely never ever be able to find the time then yeah, trade it on while it's still valuable!

the groutch · 29-12-2013 08:54PM

surprised it's holding it's value considering there's about 5 million copies of it out there

CiDeRmAn · 29-12-2013 10:24PM

I guess there's the masses who bought it and the shadow behind that's waiting on the preowned value to drop.
Tbh, in most cases, I'm in the latter party, happy to wait for a game to become somewhat cheaper before pulling the trigger.

Atavan-Halen · 29-12-2013 11:23PM

I bought this the other day. Can't wait to have a read!

CiDeRmAn · 30-12-2013 12:31AM

I love to flick through those ticking them off "got that, got that and that"

Persona 4 is a much better game than Dragon's Crown. In fact it's a much better game than anything on sale in Gamestop at the moment. I've gotten Sarah absolutely addicted to it.

Well I do put it on almost every evening,
addicted to Persona in general really not just 4. I like it a lot but I still like P3 more

Jrpg collector, and general persona fan, 4 is fantastic, almost every ps2 rpg is better then the ones on ps3 or lack there of.....

must try dragons crown at some point thought,it looks good, a lot like odin sphere.

P.s: if I was to say dark chronicle is the best ps2 rpg would u hit me lol.
dark chronicle > persona *not by much but it wins*

CiDeRmAn · 30-12-2013 02:25AM

I have the third one for the PS2, got it some time ago, never turned it on.

I put 80 hours into it, worth it ~ ah Fuuka.
Around 60 in P4 but those hours include times I've left it on and had my dinner and stuff too

CiDeRmAn · 30-12-2013 09:08AM

I'm getting so little game time in these days.
I better be careful.
I could slip back into a "casual gamer"!
Start playing lots of EA games.
Glob help me!

CiDeRmAn · 30-12-2013 08:28PM

Went mad, spent another massive €20, in Gamestop, got Sonic & All stars racing for the Vita, Grid 2 for the 360 and Diggs Nightcrawler for the Wonderbook/PS3 (my son is enjoying Book of Spells at the mo)
Still waiting for Rayman Legends to turn up for the WiiU, seems to be sold out everywhere.

CosmicSmash · 30-12-2013 09:08PM

Christmas gets, shunned current gen offerings until they drop down to the twenty five quid mark. Did give into the temptation of Fire Emblem on the 3ds though, too many good things said about it.

It's a brilliant game. Last sun holiday I was on over the summer, I spent half my time locked away playing that

One tip - make sure to pair everyone off in battles. Nothing really tells you to do this (at the time I thought it was just a battle mechanic) but it's actually a core part of the whole thing.

STG.Otaku · 30-12-2013 10:05PM

Another GET! from last week. Stage 2 sounds great on the floorstanders with the bass cranked up!

Andrew76 · 30-12-2013 10:25PM

Progear OST? You'll have to start providing subtitles with your posts one of these days! :P

Yup! Rumour has it Capcom may be re releasing the game for their anniversary.

On 360/PS3 or newer etc?

STG.Otaku · 30-12-2013 11:11PM

Its just speculation right now but Capcom are running a poll right now on their Japanese website for customers favourite game as part of their 30th anniversary. Progear no Arashi and 1944 are currently in the lead.

Make sure to vote as it ends soon!

The OST is a rare beast so delighted to have it in my GSMOST collection.

Astro Boy on GBA is superb. Can't beat a bit of Bangai-O too!

Few bits I've gotten recently.

Couple more extension harnesses for project 'fill the Pony with PCBs'

That's room for 6 PCBs now, if I can fit the damn things in!

The game of the moment. Absolutely breath taking stuff

Posted about my new PCE RGB cable and my RGB compatible 1084s monitor, but finally got around to combining both! I don't know what it was, but ever since I got that monitor I wanted it to be a dedicated PCE one. Looks fantastic.

Not sure if I posted this before, but just saw it lying about

Soul Edge board. Or 'what a PS1 looks like as an arcade PCB'.

Namco System 11 board.

o1s1n · 31-12-2013 12:16AM

Just remembered now why I felt compelled to post a pic of that Soul Edge, if you look closely you'll see a little blob of solder and a wire on pin 4 from the right on the jamma edge. We now have the power of the block button! **** you, kick harness! :pac:

MrVestek · 31-12-2013 12:59AM

Those system 11 boards still haven't been emulated correctly. It seems ridiculous to me considering how old they are. I want Tekken Tag on my bartop dammit!

It's my favourite Fire Emblem game. Okay, okay, I've only played two of them but it's still brilliant.
Just started playing Devil Survivor Overclocked today and it has me looking forward to the the Fire Emblem-Shin Megami Tensei on Wii-U, just have to get the Wii-U first.

Atavan-Halen · 31-12-2013 11:21AM

Went ahead and treated myself to this as a Christmas pressie!

CiDeRmAn · 31-12-2013 11:43AM

Isn't it a bit Gran Turismo 5.5 ?
I only ask because the comparisons on YouTube suggest minimal improvements in handling and visuals, though the front end is much improved.
Nearly bought it myself but remembered how little play it's predecessors got.
Bought Grid 2 for a tenner instead!
