Your post was worded so HELPFULLY and not in the least bit SARCASTICALLY that it would be rude not to thank you.

Your initial post was done so CLEVERLY and not in the least bit LAZILY that it would be rude to be sarcastic. :mrgreen:

A huge mistake. If I'd posted it before, then Harry would have spent half an hour searching every single entertainment retailer's website in order to zing me, and left empty-handed. I'd never have known this personally, but the world would have been quietly pleased with itself.

Bah humbug.

God damn, stop bickering.

How about DMC4 on PC, amazing port, one of the first of Capcom's new PC line up and they shipped about 5 copies, and Capcom Japan wouldn't let Capcom America put it up on digital distribution at launch.

Ooooh. Thanks for the link. That's going to be really useful in future!

(And shows my point, actually. Aside from the new deliveries to Amazon and Play, everywhere else is out of stock...)

Now, if anyone can find the wireless buzzers for the same kind of price as HMV had them a couple of weeks ago (£18 - sadly they went back up last week), then we've got ourselves a sale!

I'm annoyed about Buzz, you know. I saw the game plus buzzers in HMV for a total of £42 a fortnight ago and decided to sleep on the decision to buy it. When I went back a few days later, the buzzers were back up to £34.99 and the game was sold out. :cry:

Don't forget good old http://billybargain.co.uk Billy himself used to post on old GR's bargains thread.

THIS, and it's only just come out on steam. I LOVE the graphics test options that capcom put in their PC games, it makes setting the...settings much easier, and it is indeed an amazing port, unlike RE4 :fp:

Guitar Hero III for the PC, it got reviewed in PCGamer, but I have never seen a copy anywhere.

Symphony of the Night on Playstation :fp:

Every Warriors game this generation
Samurai Warriors 2 on the 360 :fp:

Battle Fantasia
XBox KOF ports :fp:

I get the feeling Blazblue and Way of the Samurai 3 will be on this list as well :fp:

If I break down and get a PS3 for some reason, Way of the Samurai will probably be it.

GC's Harvest Moon.

I had that, never finished it because nothing really happens and stupidly traded it in without checking how much it was worth :fp:

I loved the first two. (The first, admittedly, more than the second. The valley is much prettier than the town, for all that the second game is a lot more polished.) There's something about the way they play out that reminds me of an 8-bit game, in the best possible way.

If It's coming to the 360 as well, colour me happy. It wasn't, last I checked.

Turns out she is. :mrgreen:

Rocket: Robot on Wheels and Body Harvest.

I had a copy of both, but only through seeing them once, and buying them straight away. Both superb games, overlooked and undershipped.

I was also going to mention Tales of Symphonia. Shadow of the Colossus is another.

Both Frequency and Amplitude as well. Moral of this thread; a lot of the great games don't reach as many people as they could/should.

I couldn't find a copy of Resident Evil 4 when it first shipped on Gamecube a few years back. I was told by my local indie shop that he asked for it every week and couldn't get any copies at all.
