August 2012 pickups

[AO007]

You're probaly best off waiting until TLS appreciates in value and sell it for a profit. It's honestly not that great. 

Not a bad by any means, and it's not as overrated as the piece of trash known as Xenoblade "Final Fantasy 12 In Disguise" Chronicles.

[Superchop]

What!?!?  I actually loved playing Xenoblade lol, except for the sidequests and I also have that game sealed on my gaming shelf...

I played a bit of TLS a few months back (PAL release) and it wasn't so bad...I just didn't continue playing cause at that time the NA version was already announced and I didn't want to have a PAL save file but have the NTSC version of the game on hand.

Something I got annoyed with Xenoblade...started playing the PAL version and after getting 20-30 hrs in....they announce the NA release.  I didn't feel like restarting so I just finished playing it...

I've just about finished XC and have about 15 hours into TLS. I really love  both titles, very solid RPGs- some of the best in this generation of consoles IMO.

So I wasn't the only one who couldn't manage to finish Xenoblade. Maybe I was expecting too much but it bored me to hell....

Ugh, this thread is going to make me get the pile together and make my stomach hurt when i see it all together and the money i spent. Sad thing is, I still have a ton of stuff that I plan to get this month

Boring is an understatement. :/

It saddens me that it's getting 9-10 reviews, while something like NSMB2 is getting the shaft.

Wow, really? I'm about 88 hours in and don't see the finish line, but I am still enjoying the hell out of it. I couldn't tell you the last time I enjoyed a Mario game for that long. If you combine the two Galaxy games, it might come close, but certainly not the NSMB games. I'm hoping that'll change with the Wii U version, which I think looks more promising.

This is what I know for certain I bought this month (had extra paycheck so went a little crazy) Sadly, I know this isnt all of it for every time I go look I find more, so maybe more pics inc lol

[Superchop]

I was about to pick up NeverDead this month also, Best Buy was having a sale on the game for 10 bucks...but after reading it's reviews I decided against it.

Although earlier this month or late last month (I can't remember) I did pick up

Gears of War 3
Resistance 3
Assassins Creed: Revelations
Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City

All 4 of them for 50 bucks since 2 of them were on sale for 10 bucks and the other 2 were 15

I need some advice. I bought a copy of Uninvited for $12 (great price!) but it has a torn sticker on the label itself.

Anyone know how I can safely remove the sticker crap without damaging the label under it?

Here's a photo.

I did pick up racoon city last month when they had that deal, thats where I got neverdead from. I had a bit of credit from some trade ins so even after the crap reviews I figured I would give the suda 51 game a chance for 10$

Yeah, for the price I was heavily considering it, even tried to talk my brother into buying it so then I can just borrow it...but he wasn't too interested in it either.  :\  If not for The Last Story being released that week I would've gotten it.

[madrocsz]

Ugh,just reminded me I have to pick up last story and new super Mario 2 for 3ds. Least they have been paid off and worry discount. Last story only been pushed back a few months lol

[wiggy]

There's no game on the planet that I could spend 88+ hours on. That would take me about 3 years of playing at the rate that I even plop down in front of a system at this point. 40 is like my absolute max. After that, it would just get shelved.

All of those games are crap, unfortunately. Don't let the media fool you into thinking otherwise.
