And once again, we're at a seasonal holiday, and Square has its "surprise box" event. This time it's 6.5€.

 

I was just looking to buy one of their FF4/5/6 rereleases, but one of them might just be in the box. I presume FFVII might be in it, as that one will be re-rereleased in a year anyway. But then again, FF was never in a bundle... ever :p

 

Choices. Knowing that I will know the contents regardless of the purchase, I'll probably end up getting it. Last time I got Life is Strange ep1, which I actually played, and Just Cause 2, which isn't for me. But I might play the other games somewhere in the future so it wasn't a bad deal per se. This being said, they don't shy away from offering the same game in their bundles (Just Cause 2 for instance). It's not mentioned, so let that be a warning. :p

 

"Previous bundles:

 

2015 (Easter)

 

Life Is Strange - Episode 1

Just Cause Collection

Hitman Absolution Elite Edition

Deus Ex Game of the Year Edition

 

2014

 

Thief – The Master Thief Edition

The Last Remnant

Murdered: Soul Suspect

Lara Croft: Guardian of Light

Deus Ex – The Fall

Nosgoth Founders – Warlord Pack

 

2013

 

Tomb Raider

Just Cause 2

Hitman: Blood Money

Dungeon Siege 3"

Thinking about going back and finishing GTA 5. I really enjoy the game, but lost interest about half way through the story mode. I've heard the ending is really good. Any thoughts?

 

Doing the same thing atm, but very slowly. I'm at 35% or something. I always go back to randomly cruising. :p

Game of Thrones was simply an amazing experience. Telltale excells at telling stories in their own unique way while also having the flavor of whichever series they are tackling. I'm salivating for Season 2 already. I really got sad when Rodrik died, since I wanted to have him kill Ludd and/or Gryff, but I guess that having Asher survive was the best option, since he had just gotten back to Ironrath.

 

I also finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune days ago, as a part of the Nathan Drake Collection. An amazing game as well, but the shooting was a little off for this one. I know they fixed it for Among Thieves and Drake's Deception, so now I'm on my comfort zone playing AT.

I really got sad when Spiderman died, since I wanted to have him kill a puppy and/or an orphan, but I guess that having Bruce Wayne survive was the best option, since he had just gotten back to Ironrath.

 

Just be weary that if you white out spoilers, they still show up in the email notifications if anyone reads them. I have already finished the game but if I hadn't, i would be mighty mad right now.

 

I know it wasn't intentional but just be careful cos spoilers are the devil brah :p

How can I have spoilers not show up at all here, then?

That, i don't know. I would suggest maybe not being so specific of key plotlines on a public forum. Maybe something like "Man, i was so sad about the end of episode 4. I really wanted revenge." I dunno man.

 

I hope I'm not coming across as a dickhead...not my intention at all. Just wasn't sure if you were aware that what you wrote actually showed up and trying to do my part to prevent spoilers

I don't know what the policy is for spoilers here, as Greydog games aren't exactly spoiler-full. :p

 

Episodic games that are still 'running' are obviously a no-go, but I don't see any other problems. A week after release seems fair, but the problem is that this topic is so general you might bump into stuff without warning. I'd just put a SPOILER/FALLOUT4, for instance.

Eventually, the bundle contained Thief, Lara Croft Temple of Osiris and FFXIII. A good deal on paper, but I'd loved any other FF game more. But it could've been way worse. :p

 

Anybody want Ep1 for Life is Strange? Or a FFXIV code?

 

I want the Life is Strange episode.

I would like to get the FFXIV code for a friend that can't but it, thank you.

I hope you understand that I'd rather give it away to an actual user instead of someone who just made an account and hasn't posted anything. :D (unless you are LuRking)

 

Besides, it apparently comes with just 30 days, so anyone is better off trying the demo untill the level cap is reached, or it'd be a waste of gametime.

I understand you man, but I'm desperately trying to get 1 for my friend, not for me. I joined 2 raffles yesterday and didn't win any of them =(, here is my reddit profile so you can see it https://www.reddit.com/user/Lucking2008/

I am debating on getting Play Station 4 or XBOX One. Does anyone have any insight on which is better?

 

I know PS4 has slightly better graphics but that does not matter that much to me and I really do not care about exclusive games (I have never been a fan of Halo). As long as the next GTA and Elder Scrolls games come out for both I am happy.

 

I am not biased towards either company as I own XBOX (Which no longer works), XBOX 360 (Which no longer works), Play Station, and Play Station 2 (Which no longer works.). On a side note my Sega Genesis still works perfectly despite in coming out in the early 90's. I will admit I am a bit leery about buying another XBOX system simply because I am on my ninth or tenth 360 (I have honestly lost count) and I am very bitter over the amount of money I have had to shell out to get them fixed.

 

That being said I have not heard anything like that about the new system so I am willing to give them a clean slate.
