What games is everyone hoping to get that deep, fat Black Friday discount this year? Mine is below:
Street Fighter 6
Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon
Ghostrunner 2
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Sonic Superstars
Lords of The Fallen remake
Dark Pictures Anthology The Devil In Me
Mortal Kombat 1
BloodPuppetX
21-Oct-2023(#2)Sonic like last year. (Still haven't beaten the first world in Frontiers.) Besides that, I'll just grab whatever gets a steep discount that looks interesting to me.
SupremeSarna
21-Oct-2023(#3)Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Cereza and the Lost Demon
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
Fire Emblem Engage
Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Bootcamp
Metroid Prime Remastered
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
Any of those would be nice for me.
BloodPuppetX
21-Oct-2023(#4)How cheap do you want Cereza? It's already $30 on Woot.
Orlandu
21-Oct-2023(#5)I'd like to see Diablo 4 at 30ish
Bleed_DukeBlue
* 21-Oct-2023(#7)GameFly had it for $29.99 last I checked (used disc but new case).

21-Oct-2023(#8)I'd like to see the PC versions of these games on sale:
Spiderman Remastered
Spiderman Miles Morales
Final Fantasy 7R Intergrade
Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion
Baldur's Gate 3
I feel like all except BG3 are due to go below $30.

I don't think I've had $1400 to my name in ten years. -,-

What are you running now? I built a PC off of used parts for about $360. Nothing special, but has room to grow. Had to do some deals to put it all together, but that's part of the fun for me.

23-Oct-2023(#19)Can't seem to justify buying one since I own two 1080p and two 4k tvs. So much wasted money......
Orlandu
23-Oct-2023(#20)If not for the burn in risk I'd already have one. I know people like to pretend it isn't an issue, but it is when you live with someone who falls asleep with the roku home screen on.

23-Oct-2023(#24)Yeah I think the burn in protection just burns all the other pixels to even them out. You eventually get a dimmer TV. Direct sunlight and heat are enemies of the panel.

An i7-3770k. I'm not trying to build a top of the line system, but the CPU I've got is extremely old already.
I've looked at local Facebook sellers but they're all idiots that try to hawk eight year old HP prebuilts as gamer systems... so. Yeah. Sorry for the OT. :p

I didn't have much luck on FB marketplace, got most of my parts on OfferUp. Did a quick check around Calexico and found this:
https://offerup.co/SKXZfS398Db. If you could talk him down to about $400, you'd have something that will last you for a while for a great price.

* 24-Oct-2023(#27)There's really only one game I'm looking to get at the moment: Mario Bros. Wonder.
But with the release date being so close to Black Friday, I don't expect the game to be given a discount. Bundled with a console though? I could see that maybe happening. Though I don't think Nintendo would need to make a console bundle in order to push sales of Mario Wonder. With the game being released close to the holiday season, it will probably be a big seller anyway.
Orlandu
24-Oct-2023(#28)Your best bet would probably be a discounted gift card for a store that sells it or maybe on of those oddball qvc 30 off of 60 coupons.

Interesting. You might be onto something. Thanks for the suggestion.

I bet Amazon has a very limited lightning deal of Wonder for $45. Very very limited. Instantly full waitlist.

There's a wait list for the lighting deals? I didn't know that. Good to know. Thanks.

Extremely good lightning deals will fill up fast. Say 10,000 available. So after it reaches the 10k limit, a few thousand past go into waitlist. It’s expected some people will decide to pass after accepting or their cart will timeout. It then hits those in the waitlist.
Orlandu
28-Oct-2023(#36)Most of the good lightning deals either go 3..2...1...join wait-list or an immediate wait-list full.

Interesting. I didn't know that's how it worked. Good to know.

if you're already in the maybe column on FF XVI I'd say skip it. Other than the Kaiju-like boss battles, the monster hunter-lite hunts, and ninja & knight mini bosses it's pretty average. Doesn't do anything new and a lot of the story beats are familiar, especially if you've already watched Game of Thrones and Attack on Titan. The game feels like pressing a few buttons, cutscene, rinse, and repeat (which most games really are, but you really feel it with this one in particular). And it also was kinda weird that added a female character that looked like Zidane (FFIX) was a grown adult woman
wait until it's $20

* 7-Nov-2023(#45)My best friend said Walmart was running an early sale this week.
I actually went there yesterday and they had tons of 4K TVs for like... 200 bucks.
sefjwm
24-Nov-2023(#49)They sometimes will run the same sale as competitors and people refer to it as price match. I believe there is also a link on items to report to them that someone else is having a sale.
Overall the game deals for physical have been pretty meh this year. Some decent prices in the Sony digital sale though.
