My purchases in the past few days

Just stuff I purchased in the past few days.

Dragon's Dogma:

Paid: $60

Wrote a blog about it already but I'll give much better and thorough impressions when I'm done. I'm at the last mission but I still have sidequests to do.

Oh, and of course the price drops to $50 a week later. Although this game has been so fun that I don't regret paying that extra $10.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning:

Paid: $40

I wasn't thrilled with the demo but I was interested in another open world WRPG to tide me over until I have school again. I'm hoping the full game will entice me more. I would have had it Thursday since I've been purchasing my Amazon stuff over my dad's Amazon Prime account but I accidentally sent it to his apartment in New York City. So now he has to send it down to me.

Mortal Kombat Vita:

Paid: $40

First off, fuck this game. Not the game itself, but here's what it is. I figure "What the hell, I'll pay $40 for it" since I heard good things about it and I've been mindlessly beating on Mortal Kombat without even trying it. So I pay $40. Next day it's on sale for $20 on Gamestop and Amazon. Day after that it's $10 on Gamestop. Seriously, fuck you.

But yeah, I'm eager to try it. I've heard good things about the reboot and the Vita version has gotten some good praise as well. Graphics seemed kinda shitty but apparently there's tons of content and the game runs smooth as a baby's bottom.

EDIT: Oh yeah this was shipped with KoA so it's also "in transit"

The Witcher 2 (Xbox 360):

Paid: $40

I've been very curious about this one since it's been getting amazing reviews and apparently it's one of the best PC-to-Xbox 360 ports around (unlike some other WRPGs COUGH DRAGON AGE SERIES COUGH). Should be getting this by Monday. I'm tempted to buy the first Witcher for the PC but I don't feel like spending $10.

EDIT: Should be here by Monday.

Assorted Magic cards:

There's been some sales at Star City Games so I figured I'd pick up some things while cheap. Got Chandras and Frost Titans for pretty good prices.
  • Chandra Nalaar (LRW) x2: $1/ea. Only own the Firebrand and while she's not a fantastic Planeswalker, she's nice to have. Plus I love her artwork.
  • Frost Titan (M11) x2: $1/ea. Already own 2 of them so I wanted to round off my collection. They're usually more game winners for my U/W Control.
  • Goblin Arsonist (M12) x4: $.15/ea. I had 8 of them before but I must've given them away or traded them off. I wanted a budget 1-drop for Goblins and I've found Arsonist to be fun to play with. Already have two Goblin Guides and Lackeys are just too expensive.
  • Goblin Chieftain (M12) x3: $1/ea. I already own 1 and I felt like rounding off my collection. Ever since Krenko was announced for M13 I've been dying to play with Goblins.
  • Krenko's Command (M13) x4: I like it more than Dragon Fodder and it's a nice little token pooper for Goblins.
  • Krenko, Mob Boss (M13) x2: Like I mentioned, Krenko has peaked my interest in Goblins and I really want to toy with him.
  • Ulvenwald Tracker (AVR) x4: Sounds like a fun removal card that I'm planning to play with in my green ramp. I can pretty much roll over anything with him once I have some Eldrazi out there. Even then, he seems like he'll come in handy.
Persona 3 Portable

Paid: $10

It was on sale on the PSN Store so I figured I'd nab it for my Vita. Played a bit of it on the PSP but kinda lost interest. Won't say the game is OMIGOD AMAZING like everyone says but it's alright if you're in a turn based RPG mode. It was either this or Crimson Gem Saga.

$10 on Gamestop.com? That offer already end? I have a few games left I could trade in to snag it.

It's not $10 anymore but it's still $20 brand new. Hell it's half as much as the Komplete Kollection and it has even more content.
 
Kingdoms of Amalur is such a great game, the demo didn't even come close to representing the full game. I definitely don't think you'll be disappointed with it.

I stopped playing after a HDD accident but I think I might have to install it and play it again.

Also, did you buy it for 360 or PC?
 
Complete opposite feeling of Supr for KoA. The demo perfectly represented the game. It showed exactly what the combat was like for every class, and basically what it was GOING to be like the entire game...a boring button masher.
Has a fuckton of quests though, it's like an offline MMO.
Character building is middle of the road. Non-combat building is trash, combat building is decent, but if you stick strictly to one tree you'll get bored very fast.
Not a terrible game, but I dropped it pretty fast.
 
[quote name='Icealote' timestamp='1341827920'] So will you be writing a little piece of Persona 3 in your PSP list? [/quote]

I thought it was already on their? It's been a while since I updated it though.

Xbox 360.
 
Nah no Persona part where you talked about your opinions on it. I did like how you mentioned The Warriors game. Damn that game was fun but wtf on the level where you had to defeat that one boss in the warehouse burning =.=
