People Will Like You If You're Too Stingy, Steve (Game Deals thread)

[zborgerd]

This game appears to have tanked as a result of the negative reviews. I like Suda games so I picked it up for $20 a while back. No complaints. At $10, even better.

An LE for $10 kind of says all you need to know about a game.

Gotta be a pretty junky LE to fall that low outside of an auction.

[Lord of Pirates]

lol that's funny.

And yes, I honestly don't get what's the deal @_@ the crazy part is that this wasn't the case up until some years ago. Once upon a time you could buy online from US locations and product shipping was charged like regular US shipments. Amazon used to give us free shipping on orders over $25 and everything, I have no idea what caused this change. And it's ridiculous that people can bypass this shipping issue by just mailing it yet retailers and postal services don't seem to comprehend that. I mean we can mail to the US just fine lol it's not international or anything ^^".

It's amazingly dumb with any retailer or person using USPS, sometimes their online calculator tries to tell me that PR is international though, maybe that has something to do with it? In similar stupidity, eBay allows sellers to exclude PO boxes even when they're using USPS as the carrier.

doubt anyone cares, but:
$10 Bioshock Infinite XBOX

$8 Deadspace 3 LE XBOX

was gonna list Killer is Dead too, but I'm fashionably days late and beaten to it.

It looks like the LE sku is out of their system, so if you go pick one up there the LE should ring up at $10 too.

Edit: Whats the deal with first print copies vs not? Not really into Suda games.

There's no LE of Killer Is Dead. Unless there's been a reprint, ALL Killer Is Deads are the boxed sets with soundtrack and art book. I don't think it was the reviews that are causing the game's price to plummet, but what it was released against and its relative obscurity. I'm guessing a metric spit-ton were manufactured since @ 3 months after its release, it was going on sale for $20 and right now stores are still trying to dump inventory.

The game's actually pretty good. Way weird too. One of the better Suda games (which isn't saying a whole lot)

I've seen lots of just the game floating around, so I'm guessing there was another print run.

Sometimes I feel, I am pretty much a gameing store, and I'll trade away videogames for one that interests me the most.

Yea Killer follows the classic first print vs re release model. They did later put it out without the goodies.

Also its Suda, as soon as I see his name I say instant buy and throw out any reviews out the window. I loved Shadows, Lollipop, Killer 7, No More, etc. He has yet to fail me, and the little of Killer is Dead that I played I liked. I mean look if you don't like Pulp Fiction you probably won't like any of Tarintino's movies, same with Suda. He has his style and brings it to every game.

Only criticism I launch at thim is the new ps4 game looks bad, but who knows he might come through in the end.

I couldn't get into Killer 7 on Gamecube when I tried it out. Didn't understand the combat system, but it was really brief when I tried it. I'll have to get back into it (if that ever happens!)

Pretty much how I feel about Suda as well. I was hooked after Killer 7 and have been picking up his games ever since. The only localized Grasshopper physical media games I don't have are Diabolical Pitch and Samurai Champloo. Samurai Champloo had decent review scores for a licensed game, and it's cheap, so I may pick it up.
