I bought a couple of games last week, and they arrived today.
The reason for buying them was that I managed to snag them at a really good price, compared to what they sell at over here in CEX.
I have been a huge Dynasty Warriors fan since playing DW4, which in my opinion is the best game in the series, followed closely by DW5.
This spin off is very similar to Dynasty Warriors, however, it substitutes Humans for Gundam mechs. My only experience with this game, and Gundam, in general, is a demo of this I downloaded on the Xbox 360 around the time it released.
I remember enjoying it, but because my town didn't have a very large game shop, there were many games like this I never got a chance to buy.
For example, we had 2 movie rental shops back then, Xtra-Vision, and Movie Magic, and they both mainly sold and rented films, and each had a very small game section.
So, finding anything out of the ordinary was pretty rare back then.
I loved this game and played it countless times when it first released; however, I never played any of the DLC for it, so having this with everything included is great, and I'm looking forward to a fresh replay.
This is, in my opinion, the only good Dragon Age game.
Dragon Age 2 was okay, but it was very small in scope.
Dragon Age: Inquisition was very large in scope, but felt almost too big. While I did enjoy it, it didn't really grab me as Origins did.
Dragon Age: Veilguard is the newest one, and I haven't played it, so I don't have a formed opinion about it.
Origins was released at a time when BioWare was at the top of its game, and it shows in the writing and world design of this game.
I played this game in a friend's house when I was a kid, and as much as I thought it was a cool game, I never owned a copy or played it properly, because I just never came across it.
I own and have completed nearly every AAA Star Wars game made. This elusive title has always been on my list, and now I have finally tracked it down.
It's not an overly rare or expensive game, but for me, I prefer to only pick up stuff in bundles or buy them individually when I see them for a really good price.
Buying and Selling
When I first got into buying and selling games, my intention wasn't to start collecting, but this little hobby of mine has resulted in me having a really kickass collection.
My methodology is to buy bundles, keep the ones I want, and sell the ones I don't, in order to earn back my money, to put back into buying bundles.
The reason I focus primarily on games is the fact that I love games, and if they don't sell or whatever, I get to keep them.
In the last 2 years, I have come across and played some great titles that I probably never would have looked at twice had I seen them in a shop, which has made the entire thing a really cool experience.
In a future post, I'd love to do a walk-through of my entire collection, stack by stack, and talk about some of my favourite ones.
