Few more physicals I was meaning on picking up sooner or later once they went on a decent sale.

Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon - €30 | Sidenote: Danjin44 I'm finally snagging this one up since I've found it with a 50% discount. Was this your 2023 GOTY? Or was it Zelda TotK? Really can't remember.

Digimon Survive - €15

Evil West - €15

03/01 - NSO + Expansion Pack 12 Month Membership. £25.35 from Shopto.

19/02 - 1100 Rocket League Credits. £7.99 from the eShop.

21/02 - BioShock: The Collection. £7.99 from the eShop.

26/02 - Stardew Valley. £5.49 from the eShop.

Probably the least I’ve spent on gaming at this stage in the year since I started full time employment at the age of 17 (14 years ago).

It’s by design.

Tackled some amazing games in my back log. Going to play some more amazing games from now until the end of the year: Pokémon Platinum, Black/White 1 & 2, Portal 2, Divinity 2 Original Sin, Hallow Knight, A Link to the Past and Minish Cap in my backlog.

Spending and shopping less, playing more. It’s great.

I used to think £39.99 was rich for XBL in the 360 era.

I essentially still view this as a £150 a year tax by Xbox and Sony to use online, albeit now with some games thrown in.

Still think Sony’s model with the PS3 was the best we’ve ever seen. Free online but the games on Plus were so good I wanted to subscribe. That’s the difference.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Spent €100 for a year of PS+ Extra and also snagged a couple of physicals.

A Space For The Unbound (Switch pre-order) - €40

Prey (Xbox One) - €12

It can be a bit misleading I guess. I spent £92 but that's for 3 years core which converts to 2yr gamepass.

Sony is just yearly.

Regardless of the talk of gamepass it keeps pushing games to me. Like I got to play Dead Island 2 the other day, fully completed on co-op with a mate. Never would have bought it and won't really recommend it but there's usually something to play. Meanwhile I then only spend less on games I actually want. Can't decide if its good or not really

Just ordered 4 games from the same seller and all games are being packaged individually (4 boxes with 1 game each). I know these systems are mostly automated in large web shops but this seems like a massive waste of everything.

Anyways, they'll arrive tomorrow:

I do plan on playing all of them... eventually. But besides that, I just enjoy collecting physical games for my systems (NSW/PS5/XSX).

 

[Sleepwalker]

Actually not much this year so far

130 cad for FFVII rebirth deluxe edition on disc + 2 steelbooks
60 cad Yoshi's crafted world
60 cad Pokemon Legend Arceus
80 cad Paper Mario the thousand year door + gamecube slip cover
111 cad on Pokemon Scarlet + DLC (in cart)

$12 1 month of plus cause it just expired and I wanna play 2k24 online.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Trails through Daybreak - $65
Another month of GameFly - $25

 

[EruditeHobo]

So far:
- Tekken 8
- Helldivers II
- FF7 Rebirth

Planning on getting through FF7R before getting Unicorn Overlord.
Will probably wait for Stellar Blade, not feeling the need to get it close to release.
Won't be long before I finally dive in to Spider-Man 2, though.

I have failed. I didn't even start FF7R yet, nor buy Unicorn Overlord.

I did get Shadow of the Erdtree though and will probably spend 150 hours playing it. So this will wrap up a big chunk of my gaming summer.

Also got the Metal Slug Collection on PSN! Great stuff.

Next purchase: No idea, right now... probably Unicorn. Also hoping for a Silksong surprise 2024 announcement!
