New Loot! #46 - The "I'm Obsessed" Edition

The series in which I list what I've purchased recently...or what I've purchased that I've neglected to share with you lovely, lovely readers. 'Cause I haven't posted in a while...

So many games, so little time. Here's the latest...


***I'm Obsessed***
New Loot!


Divinity II: Director's Cut (PC)—
This was cheap. I mean, really cheap. It was part of a "Divine" bundle on Steam. Sounds interesting; I'm willing to give it a try.

Beyond Divinity (PC)—
This was part of a bundle on Steam. Three games for $3. Can't beat that.

Divine Divinity (PC)—
Part of the aforementioned bundle.



Bayonetta (PC)—
Considering my less than glowing review of this 360 game, it's probably strange that I went and bought it for PC huh? Yeah, I'm weird that way. lol

Tales of Berseria (PC)—
I always knew I was going to get this, ever since I played the demo. The price dropped low enough for me to justify the purchase.

Fable: The Lost Chapters (PC)—
I have this for Xbox, and it will play on the 360, but it's really glitchy. And for some reason, despite having the Anniversary edition, I wanted this one.



Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force (PC)—
...and a crap-ton of DLC. I have FFF, but havne't finished it. I'm given to understnad ADF is more or less an "extended" edition of that.

That's all for now. Sorry for the HUGE time gap between posts. Depression sucks. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.


Until next time...

New Loot! #45 - "Yet More RPGs...and then some" Edition

The blog series in which I let you know the latest gaming stuff I've acquired. 


***New Loot!***
"Yet More RPGs...and then some" Edition

Two Worlds (PC)—
Honestly, I think the only reason I bought this was the $1 sale price on GOG. And they gave me another game free just for spending the money. That was a bonus.

Rebel Galaxy (PC)—
This one was free when I bought Two Worlds. That's why I have it now.

Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness (PS4)—
So, yeah, I have the other Star Ocean games, and even though I've never finished one of them, I still bought this. I've started playing it and so far, it's cute.


Bayonetta Bloody Fate (Blu-ray)—
I played the first game and thought it was funny, if a little too much aimed at male players. Figured I oughtta at least give the movie a view, just to see. It's ok.

Fairy Fencer F (PC)—
It was on sale and seemed right up my alley. Only a few hours of gameplay in and I'm totally NOT regretting the purchase. Oh, the toilet humor....


Mount & Blade (PC)—
Another game with a description that appealed to me and a low enough price tag that I decided to take a chance. We'll see. I also grabbed Warband, With Fire and Sword, and some DLC while I was at it.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing I, II, & III; Final Cut (PC)—
I have a weird interest in Van Helsing, though this game actually appealed to me because it reminds me of Victor Vran. Not sure which game came first, but I've played VV, so...

RPG Maker VX Ace (PC)—
...and VX, XP, MV, 2000, and 2003, plus a crap-ton of DLC. Yeah, it was a package deal, and yeah, not a game. Really cute, though, and I figured I'd put my writing "talent" to good use.

Antagonist, Echoes of Aetheria, Last Word, Pale Echoes, Remnants of Isolation, and Skyborn (PC)—
These all came with the RPG Maker deal, and they were all made using that software, or so I'm given to understand.

Oddworld: New N Tasty (PC)—
A remake (not remaster) of the original Abe's Odyssee. I remember enjoying the original (yeah, I'm super old), so yeah, I grabbed this when the price was something I could handle.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age Collector's Edition (PS4)—
Squeenix sent me an email saying this CE was on sale... $80 off the retail. Still a pricey collection, but I didn't have the re-release yet and I've been eyeballing this collection for a long time. I've played enough of it to realize how much more I like the XII moogles as opposed to the 'white ball of fluff' moogles they use now. And Balthier has replaced Cloud as my FF crush...but I have a feeling that will change again when the FFVII REMAKE comes out.


Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector's Edition (PS4)—
I have a thing for collector's editions. It doesn't even have to be for a game I'd play. If they come with a figure, all the better. This one does.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Gold Edition—
Not a game this time, at least, this set doesn't actually come with a copy anyway. But that's OK; I already have this game for PC. This little set has an artbook, a map, and a funny little big-headed Lara Croft figure. I just can't say no to neat figures from video games...especially when they're on sale.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (PC)—
I've wanted this for years. I followed the development like the very best of gaming stalkers. I considered buying it right off the bat, but I couldn't handle $30 at the time. I saw it was available on GOG and knew I'd buy it from them. (I do like the idea that I can play a game without internet and I can transfer it to a non-internet PC without people thinking I'm doing something nefarious with it.) The Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale put it just within my price range.

Might & Magic 1-6 (PC)—
I'm not sure how I'll like these, but they were on sale on GOG for a whopping $2.49 for all six games. Hard to turn that down...

Gotten anything new lately? Tell us about it in the comments! ♥


Until next time...

Movie Monday (#23) - Slaughtering the Overseer (Torchlight)


I played Torchlight years ago on my 360 and I really enjoyed it. So when GOG put the PC edition on sale for $3, I grabbed it. It's as fun as I remember, but a gamepad is not supported. That's a little weird for me. lol

Yeah, so this is me, awkwardly killing the Overseer, one of the first bosses you come up against in this game. Check it out. ▼

—DLC Review— Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep (Borderlands 2)

Borderlands games are known for humor, bright colors, loot, and DLC that's almost as fun as the game itself. Each DLC is like a game of its own, thus worth a review of its own.

—Game Review— Borderlands 2

My brother got hubby and I into Borderlands 2. It was funny, 'cause none of us in a million years would have given this game a chance. Wanna know why?

The cover art.

We're not shoot-'em-up gamers, not really, so the image of a human-like creature blowing his brains out was not appealing. We assumed it was not a game for us. In fact, I never even gave the game a second glance and had no idea what game my brother was talking about when he mentioned it. (He opted to try it out 'cause Microsoft had it pretty cheap in the Xbox Live Marketplace.) 

Needless to say, we were hooked. The humor is stupid enough to please our redneck personalities. But I'll get more into that in the review itself. ☺

—Game Review— Borderlands

Ah, Borderlands. The game of a million lame—and not so lame—jests. My brother got my hubby into Borderlands 2, who in turn got me into B2 and naturally, we wanted to check out the original. Hubby, of course, opted to buy the Game of the Year Edition and get all the DLC. Yay him. Then I went and bought it for PC, 'cause...REASONS.☺
