What's new

Video Game Thread

I picked up both tales games. Theyve never gone under 40 for some reason. I figured this was my only chance

Xillia was pretty good. Graces was really "meh"... the combat system was good, but the game never made me care about the characters at all.

Honestly, Vesperia is still my favorite one. Too bad it's only on 360 (at least in the US). Symphonia is #2 for me, thankfully they did that HD re-release recently for PS3.
 
What is that expansion for symphonia? Would it be cool to just get the game alone rather than getting the bundle.

Yeah, the HD re-release has both Symphonia games, but from everything I hear, the second one (2008 game for the Wii) really isn't very good. So I think you'd be fine just getting the first one. Problem there is that it's only on Gamecube. If you don't have a Gamecube, the PS3 bundled re-release is your only option -- and both games are on the same disc. The game was also released on PS2, but I believe that was Japan-only.
 
Possible PS4+Vita bundles revealed:

The supposed Best Buy Bundle of $560 for a PS4, Vita, and Borderlands 2 on Vita isn't bad, although the savings aren't really all that huge. A PS4 goes for $400, and the Vita+Borderlands 2 bundle is $200, so you'd only be saving $40. Still, it's something. And there's nothing official yet... this may all be a hoax, and on the other hand, there may be more and better deals announced at E3. We'll just have to wait and see.

In other news, it's been announced that Dark Souls 2 will get three DLC expansions priced at $10 a pop:

On the one hand, yay for more Souls content. On the other hand, I can't help but feel that From Software is joining the ranks of the "ordinary" developers who exploit their players with this kind of DLC. $30 is half again the price of the original game. Who wants to bet it won't add up to be half again as much content?
 
Waiting for the Steam Summer Sale. Anyone know when it starts? I know it should be within the next 2 weeks.
 
Alan Wake is good. Did you guys ever play that one? The story doesn't make any sense to me, but whatever, it's still fun feeling like your lost in the middle of the woods.
