So my birthday was last month and one of my presents was Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, which my mother bought me off Amazon. Unfortunately, she was sold a PEGI copy of the game, which apparently was region locked or just plain didn't like my PS3. We went to the local EB to get a new copy, but all local outlets were apparently sold out. I did, however, discover that I have at least sixty dollars worth of trade-in credit that I can spend at any time. I purchased Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires, a game I used to own, in place of the Gundam title (the sixty bucks was left over).
My mother is on holidays and we're planning on having a day out, and there's an EB near where we're having lunch. We're planning to pop over after and browse, and I've got a few ideas to potentially spend my credit on...
1) Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, if they now have it in. Assuming my mother doesn't repurchase it herself.
2) Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations. I have all the other games in the series except this instalment, and it was something that I had on my birthday wishlist, but with faded interest at the time. I'm not sure if I should go get it now, or if I should wait until either the next instalment or until it drops in price.
3) Dragon's Dogma. I've enjoyed the demo of the game and it does look somewhat fun, but I've heard several detracting factors (like pawns never STFUing, long travel time, etc) and I keep losing interest when watching Youtube playthroughs of the game (which I consider a bad sign). Also, I have an unofficial policy of boycotting Capcom games for their nickel-and-diming ways (not that any of the game's DLC looks worth it). Still, I'm willing to give it a chance...
4) Pre-order Darksiders II. I've criticized the original game a lot, mainly for ripping off Zelda (which I've stopped caring about by now), but this game... I dunno, it really catches my eye. I've watched a full playthrough of the original, so I'm not out of the loop, and the preorder bonuses sound worth of a preorder, especially since it'll be on credit.
5) Or maybe get something else and/or at another time, using the credit for something I really want, like one of next year's releases (not much of personal interest coming out this year save AC3, which is in the "wait until Christmas" period).
So what do you guys recommend?
