OK so the other day I bought the two Resident Evil films I am missing on DVD (yes I know I dislike the film franchise intensely but MILLA JOVOVICH also CHEAP FILMS. Also I haven't seen them, so I can't diss them accurately if I don't, right?
Then because the universe seemed to be throwing RE stuff at me, I ended up buying the Bradygames guide for RE6, even though I don't own it and never will. But it was £1.99 and man, I loves me some RE (also I suppose I want to know WTF is up after having seen the second animated film whose title escapes me*. There might be some bit of plot or something in there, right?)
I also bought a couple of games! For a grand total of a fiver! I got The Last Remnant (which I believe![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lassarina has played? Is it any good?) and Fable III (I am fed up of wavering over whether I should or not, so I just did).
I did start playing The Last Remnant, but I'm only about an hour in, and not so fond of it yet. Although I do like the way Rush talks to the abominably young requisite regent in this game (he's NINETEEN!) That makes me laugh. I'm not sure I get how battles work yet, but that's not a problem at the moment, although I can't read ANY text on my TV screen**, apart from the massive stuff and the subtitles. Battle commands are mostly guesswork, heh (so don't be surprised when I die horribly. Oh wait. That's normal gaming experience for me).
(Also I have gripes about the walk cycles but I am Picky McPickerson when it comes to animation).
I did actually intend to pick up a copy of Persona 4: Arena (or whatever; I'm so used to calling it P4A*** that I can't remember its proper title), but I did not see one. I was also a bit sad because Lightning Returns is a little outside of my budget right now :( (though, as I pointed out on twitter, I still haven't beaten XIII-2 yet, so there's little point in me having the sequel RIGHT NOW. Also I'm led to believe the method of playing will give me panic attacks because it's all got to be timed and so on so ultimately IDEK).
Oh and I am SO buying Dragon's Dogma next time I see it. I nearly got it the other day, but decided against it as I didn't know what it was about, and I only wanted it because I'd heard the soundtrack. But I read up about it, and actually it sounds cool, so yay! (Also pluses in its favour: huge variety of character customisation; a billion and one sidequests. Minuses: jiggle physics which probably only apply to the one gender amirite).

*That wasn't there to buy, but I don't know that I would have. I didn't enjoy it very much.
**I mostly game in my room, and I have a twelve year old CRT TV up there.
***Oh wait, or is that what we call the first anime? GODDAMNIT I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANY MORE.
