Your last three game purchases.. and were they worth it?

[York_Beckett]

Darksiders - Don't know yet, haven't had any time to play it.

Nier - Pretty awesome, actually. Didn't really have big expectations, but was pleasantly surprised.

Conker: Live and Reloaded - Took some time to get used to the control scheme, but still pretty good.

 

[Ridgemo]

Halo Reach - Yes, got more time out of this game than any other on XBox, and its the only game that i've kept playing after getting all the achievements on it.

F1 2010 - Yes, good fun F1 game.

Dead Rising 2 - Yes, enjoyed many hours slaying zombies with my friend.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Dragonball Raging Blast: Got the Limited Edition very cheaply and I've had a lot of fun with it, so it was worth it. Now I finally have my Dragonball game! Too bad Raging Blast 2 is due very soon.

Fallout New Vegas: Hell yeah it was worth it! Collector's Edition with awesome goodies.

The Force Unleashed II: Very mindless game, but quite fun if you play on easy and got level 3 powers. Other than that, nah not really. And the Limited Edition is bollocks.

Wow, I need to lay off the special editions...

 

[Kurokami]

Fallout:NV
Heavy Rain
FF13

I hate the last two.

 

[SoranMBane]

That would be Batman: Arkham Asylum, LittleBigPlanet, and Dark Void. The first two were definitely worth the money I paid for them, but the other, while it had an awesome concept, was just a mess where the story is concerned, with some nasty lag issues to sweeten the deal. For now, I'll just assume it was Capcom's fault and hope Airtight comes out with something better next time.

 

[irequirefood]

Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry 3
.hack//Quarantine

Were they worth it? Probably my best three purchases in the last year.

 

[binvjoh]

TF2: Yes
L4D 1/2 bundle: Yes
Alpha Protocol: Yes

 

[SuperNashwan]

Metro 2033 - so far, sort of. Amazing graphics but gimpy gameplay. I got it on steam for £6.50 so its 50/50 just now.

Borderlands - yes, loved it especially as got it for £6.50 on steam.
Fallout 3 - yes, loved it, especially as got the GOTY on steam for £15.00.

Did I mention I got them all cheaply on steam?

 

[Superior Mind]

Let's see... from memory I think it was Mirror's Edge, Silent Hill Homecoming and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and in this order, yes, no and yes.

Mirror's Edge got a bad wrap. Yahtzee's review of it was one time I've really disagreed with him, (most of the time I'm oblivious to the game he's reviewing.) The first thing he said about it was that it was shit and the only positive thing he sad about it was that at least it was a little different which didn't work as a positive for the funny looking kid in primary school so why should it wrk for Mirror's Edge eh? I found it to be a lot of fun. Even failing the amount of times it required you to fail made it all the more sweet when you flawlessly performed a certain section. There were times it didn't work but when it did the fun level made up for the frustration - an I found it less frustrating than most games which brings me onto...

Silent Hill Homecoming. It was cheap on Steam so I got it. As I've been fascinated with the Silent Hill mythos but arrived too late on the scene to actually play any of them, I used this as an attempt to get into it. A frustrating ball of failure. Utterly unenjoyable, annoying and no I didn't finish it, (although I might give it a shot later.) I don't use this to judge the whole Silent Hill franchise so don't worry about that, I just thought it sucked horse-balls all on its own.

As for BF:BC2 there's not much to say. It was a fun samey shooter. It finally delivered on the destructable environments that Battlefield 2 promised back in the day. The multiplayer stood up a lot better than many multiplayer shooters and its single player game didn't feel tacked on or rushed like another franchise of late that I could mention. But yeah, dust.

 

[Arisato-kun]

Devil May Cry - It's freaking Devil May Cry, of course it was worth it.

Shining Tears - It's still too early to tell.

Dragonball Z Budokai: Tenkaichi 3- Oh hell yeah.

 

[Beefjerky]

Fallout: New Vegas - Oh god no.

Medal of Honor - Nope.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 - Hahahaha... No.

I'll just go back to playing Minecraft.

 

[Aesthetical Quietus]

GTA IV (360) - [Played it on PC, enjoyed it immensely, bought the expansions for 360 then the original.] Hell yes it was worth it, love this game.

Saints Row (360) - Yes, but partly no. I played SR2 (PC) first, enjoyed that greatly and wanted to know a little bit of the backstory plus I was having problems since it was having a minor disagreement with Windows 7, by which I mean that it had 3 states it would alternate between, crashing instantly on launch, crashing during title screens, crashing once into the game. So I hunted down the first one. It's good fun but the amount of polish it lacks over it's brother is harsh. So a note to anyone who is thinking of playing SR2 without playing SR, do yourself a favour and do SR first. You'll enjoy the upgrades they make

Medal of Honor (PC) - Yes and mostly No. I enjoyed it thoroughly while it was going. I imagine this is what it must be like to be on the end of pre-mature ejaculation. Just starts getting good then it's all over and your left wondering what happened and whether you need to see the doctor. [Read this as I finished the campaign in 5 hours on hard, and I don't play multi player. That and the lighting is brilliant but absolutely brutal on the eyes.

 

[DoctorObviously]

These come all from Steam.
Frontlines: FOW: Worse than I expected.
Alien vs Predator (2010): I also expected more out of this.
Dragon Age: Origins: This game is just bullshit. What was Bioware thinking, and, for that matter, the critics? (FLAMESHIELD ACTIVATED!)

Not from Steam.
StarCraft II: Suprisingly good. Not fantastic, but very good.

 

[tzimize]

Hum...

Enslaved: Very much so, played the demo (a perfect demo) and decided to buy it. Great game. Not finished it yet, but will finish it this weekend.

Naruto UNS 2: Sure, gotten lots of playtime out of it only by playnig the decent campaign, looking forward to wiping the floor with some friends of mine.

Not sure what I bought before that. Could have been AC2, if so: Sure, solving it for the second time.

 

[Caliostro]

Bought all 3 of them on Friday.

- Bioshock for 5? - Totally worth it.
- Dawn of War II and Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising - 15? bucks for both - I can't stop playing it. You make the math.

If you consider both DoW IIs as one, then last one was... Borderlands I think. For 5 or 10?. Totally worth it too.

I do my research before I buy stuff, therefore I'm rarely disappointed.

 

[Polyg0n]

Stalker: SoC and CoP were on a bundle sale for 8? combined and they were definately worth it.

Before them I got the L4D and L4D2 bundle for 15? I think and they're fun too.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Scribblenauts - I felt like this could be so much more, but as of now, I'm just kind of disappointed. I should've waited for super scribblenauts and bought that instead.

Star Wars: Force Unleashed - It was not a bad game, but the story and characters were outright ridiculous and the combat got a bit repetitive, and quick-time-events, even though implented half-decently, got on my nerves after a while. Still worth it, seeing as it rekindled my interest in star wars and had a lot of mindlessly fun bits (when I was not being stunlocked down bottomless pits or blasted by snipers that can see me even behind cover).

Blazblue - I'll be honest. I had high expectations for this game, and while it is one of the better fighters I've played in a while, it doesn't feel right for me, I suppose. Still, I don't exactly regret the purchase.

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

World of warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Expansion - Yes, great content for an already amazingly fun game.

Team Fortress 2: Bought this around two years ago and I still play it to this date.

Halo Reach: Worst Halo FPS yet, next to halo 2 PC.

 

[GeneticallyModifiedDucks]

Persona 3 Portable
Starcraft 2
Bayonetta

Were they worth it? For the most part, yes.

 

[ilikepie59]

Assassin's Creed 2 - totally worth it
NBA 2K11 - totally not worth it
Minecraft - fantastic but will probably damage my ATAR score (so a bit of "worth it/ not worth it")
