Sounds bonkers. My kind of thing. Might have to grab it if I ever see the price on it dip a little bit.
Could get it for about £23 on PS4, but I fancy the Switch version. Cheapest I've seen is £39.99 at Grainger Games.

I feel it important to stress at this point that there was a re-release of Fate/stay night that cut those parts out

Who's going to want to buy that?
Note to self, track down a copy of the original version with an English translation. It's totally just for the plot to prepare for the Switch game.

Oh my God, that dialogue! Amazing scenes.

Fate has a huge following now, right? I imagine a lot of its fans find the hilarious origins of the series quite embarrassing. If I were going to play it I would definitely get the full version though, sounds much funnier.

For the record I want to state that - with the exception of playing Katawa Shoujo ironically when it was a huge meme about 5 years ago - I actually tend to avoid lewd anime stuff. I might be a weeaboo but I'm not a pervert.
It's Rightey and Laga you want to watch out for.

Do we have anyone working at Game anymore on here? I know we used to, would be genuinely interested to hear their thoughts, mainly why Game has Console Pod that are never switched on NATIONWIDE.

Also because the pads have been battered to death by a constant stream of children.

One of my best memories of GAME is playing CoD2 on 360 pod and enjoying it, it almost sold the consoles ability to me.
That was a long, long time ago in an age far gone.

The generational leap isn't there any more. I think pods are a waste of time.

Those COD2 Xbox 360 demo pods sure helped sell a lot of Samsung HD TVs.

I remember having the same experience, hard to believe that was 12 years ago!

Err... I used to manage a GAME store . Worked there for 10 years. But as a civilian, I'd point out that my local GAME's demo pods are always on.

Incidentally, I think Ashley's interest in GAME has more to do with their esports and events businesses than the high street portfolio.
