Halloween, for most of us gamers its just another holiday where bad movies are shown on cable. Forget that and forget handing out some candy. Lock yourself in a dark room and join Goozernation on a quest to play some of the scariest games ever. It’s going to be hard to make a top 10 list about this. Where do I start? Silent Hill 1? Resident Evil 3? What about Siren and Fatal Frame? The list could go on and on.
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
Kind of a goody story...
On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.
Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.
So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.
Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.
No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"
I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.
Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.
Gee...
Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.
Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.
When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.
But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.
Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?
Nameer from eXputer: "Dead Space 2 is a sequel that delivers such a feast that by the time you're done, you're not only full but also satisfied."
Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection
thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.
I'd love to go through Dead Space 1 again to celebrate Halloween but I know I couldn't do so without getting a little depressed over the direction the franchise is taking. When the game first came out, I fell in love. It gave me the classic Resident Evil feel that I had been missing for so long. Then the second one came out and while still good, it was more action and less horror than its predecessor. Now with the third installment we seem to have even more focus on action, massive amounts of ammunition, and co-op among other fright-killers.
I hate to keep rambling on but GAH! It really irritates me when the potential for excellence is sacrificed to "appeal to a wider audience."
alan wake? you cant be serious :D
I love Dead Space 1&2 but they are not scary.
I'd go for Codemned or Amnesia.
Speaking of Codemned, where is 3? I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I know this will sound strange, but in my personal opinion, the 3rd act of Uncharted was the horror game of the generation.
Yeah, I know, it's not a horror game, but from "Unwelcome Guests" onward through the next few chapters the game managed to be terrifying without relying on either jump scares or bad controls. It was just atmospherically frightening, something that most other games just don't do nowadays.
In fact, it was this section of Uncharted that gives me confidence that The Last of Us will live up to expectations.
