vulchor: Woot!!! It's finally here!

Is Alien8n still hanging around? He wanted a copy for his daughter.
That's why I checked the thread after a little break when I saw Democracy 3 come up as I knew someone who had contributed significantly to this thread was after it. Has anyone got a gift copy covered for this just in case? My card is only $20 in the red but I shouldn't actually have a credit limit on my debit card(sometimes they get generous and allow me to overspend) and when I tried to get a more expensive game last time the charge didn't go through but every other small purchase has since.

Narcia_: Say, why do we have Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, etc ... on here? Eidos was bought by S-E, right?
avatar
CarrionCrow: Yes, they were. But it seems that while Square-Enix is A-okay with burning their flagship franchise to the ground, they have misgivings about customers playing anything from it without putting bullshit DRM on it. Because god knows I lie awake at night looking for ways to steal Final Fantasy 8....
Maybe because they revamp the older FF series with better graphics / balance and release it on smartphone?
They got to stay exclusive due to some deals?

trentonlf: Have not seen him post in awhile. I remember him talking about that last night. I can buy it and hold just in case.

vulchor: It's all good, I'll get it for him if he doesn't answer my PM back before the sales done.
Thank you both for having his back!

CarrionCrow: Enix makes me think of one thing - 7th Saga. And that game has been bugging the hell out of me with its existence for 20 years now.
avatar
Narcia_: Not a Dragon Quest fan? 7th Saga was pretty brutal. I never finished it, but I played it years ago. I don't even remember what I played it on O.o
Never really got into that series. I....think....I beat the first one a very long time ago, but it ended at that. And yeah, 7th Saga is all kinds of brutal. For the American version, they changed the rate at which XP is built up to 1/4th of the Japanese version, made the enemies level up at the standard rate so they can keep one-shotting you, put in fights where you are ridiculously outmatched and somehow managed to screw up the game so hard (the cynical side of me thinks they did this on purpose) that if you don't choose the priest as a companion, you end up with him as an unkillable adversary due to him eventually gaining a spell that restores all life, all MP, AND gives them back the cost of casting the spell, making them unbeatable.
That game is so screwed.

I PMd him but yeah think he isn't about right now and it is the ONLY game he was after for the sale.

*looks hard at Democracy 3..hmmm i love sims but.....must keep control...must only get what i want left on my nebulous list* argh haha

IAmSinistar: Thank you both for having his back!
yay :)

nishanche: I haven't played the game personally. However, it did take a long time to sell 400 copies. Enough time that people began writing fake 5 star reviews for it.

xjay73: If HMA goes at the same Keanish rate it did in Round 2, you'll be able to log in anytime within the 24-hour period after is appears in order to get it. :-P
So... I guess I can safely go eh.. ?

avatar
IAmSinistar: HMA is servicable, with decent play mechanics. And the chicken people are amusing. It just seems to lack the spark that makes it great. But it's certainly worth the price in this sale if you're a shmup fan. I'm pretty sure I paid more for it when I bought it here.
Well, yeah. Its price is my main reason in this sale.. :D
I've got so many political friends that I know I'll kick myself without a giftable copy of this. So bought.

I honestly don't know what their thinking is anymore. They put out Final Fantasy 13 without towns, for crying out loud. That was one painfully boring, dimwittedly written disaster of a game, and it had at least a 50 percent cutscene/gameplay ratio.

I'll pm the game code to him if need be, I bought a gift code of it
