What was the last game your parents bought for you?

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

(Or that you got as a gift on Christmas or something).

We have already discussed the first games we bought with our own money, but let's go back to the last titles that were bought for us.

I think mine was G-Lock Air Battle for the Genesis, when I was around 12-years-old.

I remember seeing it in a flea market and just begging my mom for it. It was great, and I'm thankful that she felt like buying it for me.

What about you?

 

[Cyberfriend]

It was "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" for PS2.

 

[Marisanocean]

I think maybe it's "far cry collection" from Xbox 360

 

[Cu-Neo]

Anarchy Reigns for the xbox 360. It was a birthday present

 

[jankusanagi]

Oh wow... uhm, it must have been Super Street Fighter II or Donkey Kong Country, for the SNES.

 

[99nereids]

hmmmm pretty sure it was the elder scrolls anthology collection which i did many chores for when i was 14 lol

has to be one of my favorite game related objects that i still own

 

[Cheela]

As a present that my parents chose for me: Pokémon Soul Silver. As a present that basically was: Soo what new game would you like? Fire Emblem Engage (Last Year's Birthday). I think i have cool parents :3

 

[tigg]

I got it for my birthday they year after I got the system for Xmas.

 

[Tonberry]

I thought it was much more recent, but I realize the games I've been given as a birthday present or for christmas have been from my brothers for the longest time, but I'm fairly certain the last one my parents specifically got me was Metal Gear Solid V in that special edition red PS4 console bundle for my 20th birthday back in 2015.

The game was ok I guess, but the console is probably the sexiest edition of a console I've ever laid eyes on, and it's still going strong and never got that jet engine thing so many old PS4s seemed to get.

Sonic the Hedgehog was the pack in title for the Genesis I got for my birthday. I had 2 older brothers so we had games before this but this one was bought for me, for my B-day.
My uncle was the best!
Not from my parents though, hope it still counts.

 

[bjork]

Hmm. Maybe Dig Dug Digging Strike on DS? For a good number of years, my dad would put a game in my stocking. Smurf Racer, Dog's Life, all kinds of offbeat stuff.

 

[MajesticSiN]

If I'm remembering correctly I think it was Final Fantasy 7. After that it was up to me to get more games.

 

[Fat_Wombat_55]

Long time ago now, it was either 007 or Oddworld for the OG Gameboy. I can't remember which order I received them but it was definitely one of the two back in '98 or '99

 

[YuriSukiSan]

.. Honestly? I think it was Monster Hunter Generations. I was a little old to be getting presents like that but uh, yes!

 

[Akuwiz]

Never too old for presents ?

[DoubleSunday]

the last time my parents bought me any games was a christmas so i technically got a few. But Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn always stuck out to me as the last video game they ever bought me because looking back its such a funny choice. There was no reason to buy a fire emblem game in the US in 2007. I know the only reason they bought it for me was because the cover looked like some weeb shit and i thought it was sweet that they tried to understand my interests.

I was broke and just starting college away from home with my sister who was a year ahead of me when my mom visited and surprised me with a PS3 that came with UFC Undisputed 2010. I then got her to get me MGS4 since I really wanted to play that after finishing MGS3 in highschool. I ended up having to find work and drop out for money but things worked out and i now can buy games i want never give up never back down

 

[KillerJesusXo]

30 yr old man here and last game that was bought for me by a parent I shit you not was 2 years ago when me and my dad was at walmart. I can't remember how it happened but for once mans had money and i was busting his balls and was telling him he should buy me WWE 2k22 seeing as it was on sale.

MIND YOU, I was literally just messing with him, sumbitch actually bought it for me. Didnt expect that at all

 

[Boog111]

Final Fantasy III for SNES.

 

[ZombieFish]

Halo along with my Xbox for Christmas 2001. A month later I got a job at Rhino Video Games and started blowing half of my paycheck in the store every two weeks, so no more gifts. :p

 

[Gorse]

One day, my dad randomly came home from work with a new copy of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team for me, completely unprompted. It was the only time in my life he ever bought me a game without me specifically asking for it. I’ll always have that memory associated with that game, now. It helps that it’s a great title, and it got me into the Mystery Dungeon series as a whole.

After that, I guess I just stopped asking for games entirely and started buying ‘em myself, and here we are. I don’t even buy the games, anymore!

 

[ConanTheDestroyer]

Wasn't from my parents but my sister bought me Arkham Asylum for my birthday. Unfortunately the disc ended up not working. I still have that box with the disc to this day. It was a few years later that I managed to play the game.

 

[raveci]

they usually wouldn't risk it and just give me money so i buy whatever i want, i would tediously go through everything in the store to find something worthy, and often then return it to exchange for something else, but one of these days mom just randomly showed up with heroes of might and magic 5, i was first skeptical but then repeatedly shocked to find that not only did it have the coolest cover art, it was the the best game ever, couldn't have asked for more

much later she even got into it herself and progressed way farther than i ever could, and then sought out all the older games in the series as well and churned through them in no time... guess it was meant to be...
