Dammit Sony.

It looks like guacamelee is cross platform play but not cross-buy. meaning that your save will work between ps3 and vita but you have to purchase the game separately for both platforms. There is a bundle that includes both but it is $19.99.

I think I am reading that right.

It's Cross-Buy dude. Why do you think I mentioned it in the OP? >__>

Thinking of getting guacameelee is it hard??

It's not very hard but there is one area that's totally frustarting, especially on the Vita.
...but get it cuz it takes place in Mexico and you play as Luchadore.

these damn flash sales lol

doesn't seem like there's anything here for me (which I don't already own), but some good stuff nonetheless
 
So those of you who have played both how does ArcaniA compare to similar stuff like say Risen or Two Worlds 2?

As someone who doesn't mind that style of game I'm interested.
I'd say do it. I completed ArcaniA on the 360 and I had an enjoyable romp. But like you - by the sounds of it - I love me a Euro Jank RPG.

It's not really a good game at all when you step back from it, laughably bad occasionally and probably still has the achievement bug that stopped me getting the full 1000 on 360. But you know what, I'm pretty much a PlayStation gamer now and for $5 I'm going to grab this with my US account just cause I remember the good times with this game. Plus this has the expansion so there's that as well.

One thing though, it's not a patch on Risen. Risen is a genuine great game, even the 360 version. It's not far off Two Worlds 2 though.

Hard mode is a very good challenge. Normal mode isn't a cakewalk, especially on some of the bosses. If you are going for the Platinum, there are some definitely some anger inducing moments.

If you like Metroidvania games, you can't go wrong.
 
Sony's going crazy with sales lately. I see three games up there I want. It sucks being jobless and broke. I really don't even have a dollar to my name right now.
 
Does Datura require Move?

I don't think Move is mandatory, but it plays pretty badly on the controller. If I remember correctly you move and look both on the right stick, and It never felt comfortable. It's an interesting game though, for sure. Extremely fucking surreal and weird, but in a good way. I really liked it.
 
I'm loving these sales. I remember buying a PS3 Slim and it just being used for MGS4 then collecting dust for like 2 years. For the past year and some change though it's been my #1 console and it keeps getting better. Especially for someone like me who doesn't play every big game the week it comes out. I'm going to run out of HDD space soon... really wish they'd go ahead and allow USB storage.

I'm definitely going to buy RDR and Max Payne 3. The song in the commercial alone had me and all the complaints from super soft woe is me games press talking about Max being a scumbag who's hard to root for has me sold on him being the type of character I find most interesting in movies. I might buy LA Noire if there is a cross platform save editor so I can put my halfway played 360 save on the PS3 like I did for Borderlands 2.

If there was a way to gift games, I'd buy you one. I was in your situation not too long ago.
