    I sacrifice socialising and take aways to own stuff like this :cool:


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I've got one of those!
    Of course you have all the games they gave away as well, yes?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    It does indeed, I checked. And a digital download of donkey kong country returns :D

    I'd give up fast food for something like that, but socializing? Naaah! How much was it? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    The console plus Pokemon Black, white 2, mario kart 3DS, and Pokemon Y, for €210. So I can sell all that.

    Oh, you think the Ambassador Certificate is your ally, but you merely adopted the 3D. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the cert until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Another ambassador owner here, €300 for the launch model 3DS. We should have been sent physical gold plated ambassador certs!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    I did buy it at launch, €300 including pilotwings from HMV. I was able to return it when I realised I had nothing to play on it :pac:


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I bought it at launch , stayed in love until I sold it to finance a 3DS XL but not before transferring my goodies across.
    I then missed it too much and picked up a Zelda themed 3DS to replace the original one.

    Hmm, I can't ban someone on this forum, sure I can't?
    Bugger!

    Ok, I didn't know it would bother me so much after selling it, then I just needed it again!!
    Now I've three systems capable of running 3DS games!
    By next year I'll have two more!

    Being a Nintendo fan, it's getting expensive and tiring!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    I upgraded mine to an XL and haven't sold the original yet. :(
    It's CIB, and if I'd sold it when I upgraded, I'd have gotten a lot more for it. :(

    Might as well hang onto it so, if you aren't big on hanging onto it maybe some youngster would appreciate the gift, a 3DS and a copy of Super Mario 3D Land would make anyone's day!

    Why did you miss the 3DS after getting the XL? Was it or something about the system you preferred?

    I own the following
    Game and Watch
    Gameboy
    Gameboy pocket
    Gameboy Color
    Gameboy Light
    Gameboy Advance
    Gameboy Advance SP
    Gameboy Advance SP ags101
    Gameboy Micro
    Pokemon Mini
    DS
    DS lite
    DSi
    DSiXL

    The only one missing was the original 3DS that I had bought at launch and sold recently to fund my 3DS XL.
    I realised my error and picked up a replacement last month.

    Just took delivery yesterday of Scribblenauts Unmasked for the WiiU.
    It only came out in the US and Australia, and Oz is a PAL region so safe to import.
    Safe to say this is a very rare PAL title!
    Anyway, that's part of my sons Xmas pressie sorted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,394 ✭✭✭Pac1Man


    Would ebay be the best bet for something like that?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    So, Bayonetta 2 has been marked as shipped.
    Can't wait!
    Come on Parcel Motel, don't bugger this up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Why why WHY did I go SuperSaver?
    still have an order for Hyrule Warriors put in at the weekend that hasn't shipped. I'm sure whatever I'm saving in delivery I'm spending on blood pressure pills from the constant refreshes of the Order Status screen. So *this* is what Witch Time feels like...

    It should get to PM by tomorrow morning, checked in sometime that day, sent down south that night. Hopefully.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    I set mine to expidited delivery, to pm, as it was pretty cheap when using the NI address. No dispatch mail yet through...

    Just checked my order, seems it's being sent straight to my anti-wife finding out location, otherwise known as work!
    Hopefully the lovely girl herself will be waiting for me on the desk when I get in on Saturday.

    I've always found super saver times the exact same as regular post times. I actually got Watchdogs for the PS4 delivered for release day, using super saver.

    Just noticed Bayonetta 2 checked in to PM just before 3pm. So should have it early tomorrow morning. Happy days.

    Mine was signed for earlier, with the printed name "Pacel Motel"

    Anyway, listed as in transit to motel since 13:50.


  • Registered Users Posts: 108 ✭✭Aidonin


    Arrived at parcel motel at antrim depot at 10:30 this morning, and still not checked in on my account. Should I be worried :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy

    I'm really happy for you all, you bar stewards.

    Anyone played both 1 & 2 yet? Should newbies start on the new one or the remake? I have till maybe Tuesday to decide
    :'(

    As a newb, I'm playing 1 first, so then I won't have anything spoiled story wise by 2, and I can appreciate the changes they've made too.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,729 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    I see no reason not to play the first first if you haven't already. The refinements to the new one aren't game changing, but they're subtle enough that going backwards might be a bit jarring. Mostly, though, it is still and always will be a masterpiece (as is the second, based on the first few hours), and better to play them in the order intended :) You aren't playing them for the story though :pac:


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I arrived in work yesterday expecting my Bayonetta package and instead find it still undelivered, meaning it'll be Tuesday before I have it.
    Not only that but I'm on a weeks leave after today, meaning I'll have to travel back into work to collect it :(

    Kinda in the same boat but just have Tuesday off....still killing me though.

    Picked Up Final Fantasy Curtain Call for 3DS in CeX a couple of days ago, good fun so far.

    Not bad for €25 too.

    Took your advice and started playing Bayonetta first. Great game and the combat is superb. But one thing that annoys me is the amount of quick time events during some of the cinematics - every few minutes there some sequence that requires a single button press, time it wrong and instant death. Rinse and repeat til you get it right. :mad: The only complaint I have so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,191 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Anyone know if the ones in Argos tomorrow are first print seeing as it is advertised as one and two together?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio

    You can get 1 and 2 together without it being First Print. Almost zero chance of getting the First Print edition now I would say. 1 and 2 together is just the special edition.

    I haven't played it since release (although I played it a lot then!) but the QTEs never bothered me much in Bayonetta. It managed a good mix I felt, given how much of the insanity was fully playable (unlike, say, the utter junk that is Azura's Wrath).

    You will be glad to hear, though, QTEs are disposed of near entirely in the sequel, barring the returning prompts for torture attacks and finishing moves :)

    Ah good to hear. I don't mind the ones for torture or finishing as they're expected (and produce fun results!). Did you replay chapters much to get better medals/rewards? I'm only at Chapter IV and pretty average with the medals so far. That weapons dude went and fashioned a cool looking sword for me but it didn't appear in the list to buy for some reason.

    It must have been great fun working on that game thinking up crazy ass move sets.
