So I got a few things digitally recently...
PC DD
--
Overwatch - $30, on sale. I've been thinking of getting Blizzard's FPS ever since I built this computer earlier this year, but I didn't want to pay full price for it because I doubt it's something I'd play for a long time to make it worth that money. Well, the game is finally on sale, so I got it. I got the regular edition even though the deluxe edition has a bigger discount ($40 to $30, versus $60 to $40) because I just don't think most of that stuff sounds interesting. The game also has a free weekend going on right now, which ends in a few hours, and I tried the game yesterday; it's decently fun, good enough to get.
GalGun - $10, on sale. ... I don't know, I got this even though it sounds really dumb. 75% off is the best price this game has had so far.
3DS / Wii U DD
--
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars - $20. You get both versions of this game for one price, but so far I've only downloaded it for 3DS, which is where I plan to play the game. It's a great puzzle game, just like the last DS MvDK game but with new levels, so I like it a lot gameplay-wise -- I loved that game, it was great! However, even though one of the major focuses of this game, its online level creation and trading, is going to be shut off in Novemeber when Miiverse goes down, Nintendo is not putting this game on sale or reducing the price. Any decent company here would either reduce the price or fix the game like Mario Maker, so that the game can continue to be used without Miiverse. I've played this now, and you could do a Mario Maker-like thing I believe; strip out the comment box and such, but leave the levels. They're going to do that in Mario Maker, why can't they here as well? It wasn't worth the money, so instead they're going to tear out more than half of the game and still sell it for full price? Ugh... :bummed: And it's a real shame, because again this game's pretty fun.
