Please, please, pretty-pretty please feel free to post impressions & thoughts about Soul-Hackers...if & when you get around to playing the game...

DoDonPachi Resurrection - Deluxe Edition arrived today! This is the first and perhaps only [EU] game I'll ever have, ha. So now I have 360 games from NA, JP and EU. I think this is the last game I'll be getting this week, but damn for only Tuesday I've snagged over 25 games. I think that would make this my best week ever.

Just got my Mugen Souls LE from NISA. Took a bit longer to get shipped due to a problem with my paypal account, but that got fixed right away.

Are you going to be playing it soon...or is it "into the backlog"?!

[jobocan]

I started playing it, not sure if it's gonna end up in the backlog soon or not
The combat slightly confuses me, I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but it seems fun so far.

[disgaeniac]

Yeah - I've heard that it has some confusing elements to its gameplay & mechanics.

I've noticed that there's several "Helpful Hints"/"Explanation" types of threads on the MS board at G*FAQ's if you haven't checked it out yet...

[jobocan]

I may do that... Like, I'm not sure if I should be trying to moe kill everything to get more peons, or if I should just plain kill everything.

Nice haul!

There are some game in that list that I've been meaning to get for a while too and hopefully will snag them soonish.

Yep!

Very nice PS2 haul, indeed

Speaking of burning-through some B-Day cash - I just came home with:

1).  The Last Story (Wii/NA) sealed, box-set,
2).  Phantasy Star Portable (PSP/NA) "Gamestop-New", and
3).  Harvest Moon 3D: A Tale of 2 Towns (3DS/NA) "Gamestop-New"

(3.5).  As I was leaving, I jokingly told my friend working at GS that today was my B-Day -and- did he have any cool (and *Free*) swag to hook a friend up with...

...Also left w/ a pretty cool "Pre-order Only, Assassin's Creed 3" poster 

-never hurts to try

Nice!  I always hate to bug the GS employees about that stuff, but it's good that you try.  You never know.  Otherwise, who knows how much I would've paid for the Xenoblade artbook had I not gone around to different stores and asked.

I just stopped by GS today to check on whether they got their shipment of the Harvest Moon game yet (released early).  I recieved the one with the giant 12" cow from Natsume the other day and picked up Hotel Dusk (black label) today for under $5.  If you haven't played it yet, that's a good price from Gamestop!  It's $15 new and only $5 used after a price drop.  I already have a copy but the one in the store was in good condition and a friend of mine doesn't own it yet.

[disgaeniac]

Yeah - Chris (the guy that was working today), is the only one there that I'm that friendly with/would even ask about that kind of stuff.

(In return, though -to be fair- I make it a point to order *ALL* of my pre-orders via him (and *only* him)...since (iirc), the amount of hours that they get to work is (at least somewhat) based on their # of pre-orders & I always fill-out the "Customer-Experience" Surveys for him w/ all "10's".

Interestingly enough, he told me while I was browsing, that Best Buy is currently the better place to shop for some new games, as they're doing a B1G1 free on their new games

He also told me that he just found out that 'his' store is currently "ranked" at # 44 (out of *ALL* of the American) GS stores...I'm not sure how many there are...but I think that it's safe to assume that being at # 44 would have to be pretty, damned good!
- Never really would have thought that they'd be that far up there...

*Loving* the Costume Quest avatar...did ya' finish/like it?!

Considering that 90% of GS employees treat their customers like it's such a hardship wait on them. Or straight up despise most of their customers/ have a ill-placed superiority complex and think they know more about gaming because they work at a GS. I'm not surprised.  I only go to GameStop on the rare occasion that I need to, or they have a pre-order offer that is too good to pass up. But I hate being hounded about pre-ordering crap and I hate getting shit for cancelling if the need to arises.

Hell, go into a GS and as about Akai Katana or some non mainstream game. I went into the one by my house and asked about Deathsmiles, Otomedus Excellent and Akai Katana around the time each were released and they looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. Unless it's branded Madden, Halo, CoD, God of War, etc. They don't know wtf you're talking about.
