Topic: Black Friday 2023

Well, I manged to get me laptop, and upgrade both my bedroom TV and front room TV, I can't wait to play my gamed on them. Also got a few controllers for some family members for their gifts. Might pick up a few games, but I want to see first.

Well, it took nearly 2 weeks but I think I finally have my eShop splurge list sorted for the current Black Friday sales. I'll show it off once I've actually done the spending proper but if you've seen my forum posts as of late, chances are you'll probably be able to guess most of them.

also I'm going to be very annoyed if they suddenly announce that something like Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game is on sale tomorrow but I guess that's the risk I'm willing to take at this point XD

@NintendoByNature In the end, irrelevant of whether I got one I would've still prioritized potential of Switch/Switch successor releases over the other systems. Batman Arkham Trilogy describes my strategy well as I barely touched the trilogy on XB1 (played Asylum + City on 360 and a bit of Asylum on XB1) even though I own it because the Switch version was rumoured and then the rumour eventually turned out to be real.

Because I spent a lot of money the past week or so, the only Black Friday thing I got was Gris on the eShop.

Might get something on Monday, might not, there's only a handful of games I want to buy soon, and they're basically all recent games so I doubt there'd be a lot of particularly worthwhile deals.

@Grumblevolcano same. I held off buying for a switch version. I did play asylum and city on 360 though.

i got magic the gathering game nighr(5 full decks each a mono colour and it has tokens,life dice and counters too) rrp £45 i got it for £22

I use my switch for exclusives tbh or if it has no ps5/sx version) ps5 when i get one again is fornext gen stuff and exclusives xbox for 360 and exclusives

Pc/steam deck is my most under used console as pc gaming is never ever pick up n play as i'll use a steam controller plus if said game is on console why bother

Apparently stores are trying to sucker cash by claiming their prices are "lowered", when in actuality the price never changed (as the original tag is behind the Black Friday tag), at least in Target so far (and I only heard about this on TikTok); I never did any shopping that day, unless you count me getting a McDonald's meal for "Fast Food Friday".

Went and bought Sonic Origins Plus while it’s still on sale on the eShop.

Celeste has an undeserved reputation for being super hard. I mean, 100%-ing all the post-game stuff is very hard, but the actual core game itself is pretty laid back if you don't mind some deaths. Stick with it, it's a fun game even for non-platformer-experts. Plus there are tons of difficulty settings if a part is ever too hard. It's a shame the reputation keeps some people away.

Same. Very under-rated game. I am kind of curious about the main games after playing Origins, but I'm hoping there will be a game trial or demo someday. If it wasn't for Mario Wonder, Bayonetta Origins would have been in contention for my favorite game of the year.
