I'm so tempted by Destiny the Taken King but i still feel the burn of playing the original release and I just don't have the time for raids.

Not actually that important
Uhm it's the current game of the week? At least in Poland. Something like 20€ iirc.

Oh shit you're right! €25! Not bad... €20 would 've been the sweet spot considering for €32 I can get it physical which I prefer... uhmm, decisions

Either way thanks a bunch!

I know this sounds weird but I really know nothing about Wolfenstein.

Is The Old Blood a DLC for New Order or is it a second game in the series? And do I need to play New Order before The Old Blood to understand the story? Last question is which one is better?

Was getting caught part of your plan?

Old Blood is DLC standalone thtat's set before TNO but you can play both whichever order you choose

That's what I was thinking....but I dunno.. I'm tempted still.....especially for the graphics.

If you're even slightly interested in the setting of the game I'd say buy for the virtual tourism if not anything else. But that's just me. Apparently there are people here who think it's the same as a 2D side scroller so maybe I'm just going crazy.

Old Blood is an expansion it's events take place before TNO.
You can play either of them in any order but TNO is generally the better game from what I'm seeing here.

Some thoughts on games people are asking about:


Wolfenstein: The New Order
A truly fun fps -- it's takes itself just seriously enough to have an engaging story, while letting you dual wield rocket launchers and laser rifles. It's fantastic in a way few games are -- the kind that remind you games are meant to be fun.

Darksiders 2 --
It felt like it didn't understand what made the first great (much like Red Faction Armageddon). Too much distance to run, too much... non-game. Really hard to describe, but I didn't last long playing it and I know I'm not alone. Some love it though. For me, it felt like a slog (much like Dragon Age: Inquisition, but in a different way).


The Order
For $10?!?!? The hate surrounding this game is so fucking ridiculous.

This, basically. For $10 it's a great popcorn game. Some really cool weapons, great graphics, very cool steampunk universe, and some great characters. Sure, some of the combat feels uninspired here and there, and it feels 'short' (there aren't any 'filler' battles)... but all in all? A very enjoyable experience. I can understand not liking it (clearly, there is no game that someone doesn't hate) but I'll never understand the hate storm this game got leading up to, and then during, release. It may not be the best game ever, but it's far superior to many games that weren't torn apart at launch.
 
guys, just a question. im thinking of getting elders scrolls online but there are 3 versions listed on PSN. the standard one, imperial edition and premium ed. unfortunately, they dont properly explain the differences between the versions over there. if any of you are into the game can you suggest which version i should go for?

Of course it's not the same as a 2D side scroller; the 2D side scroller I mentioned plays better :V

Really if you want Virtual Tourism of a Victorian London-like setting there's A. Creed Syndicate.

I feel the same way for the most part. I consider The Order: 1886 to basically be a sci-fi period movie where you play the action scenes. Going in with that sort of mindset, it's a very good time.

Telltale's Minecraft is onna have the FASTEST release of episodes a TT game's ever had at this point.
We're already at Ep. 3 but I got the game for under $4 over at GOG.com via a pricing error :X

*Poorly received
That's what you mean right?

Finally been waiting for Axiom Verge.

Also seems that it's not listed in the sale, AeternoBlade Platinum Bundle, 50% off, so $10. Have been interested, now seemed like the time. Passed in the 3DS and Vita versions.
 
Grabbed Order and Wolfenstein.

I was going to get Witcher too but then I remembered my massive backlog and would rather pick it up next year at a cheaper price when I have time to actually play it.

edit: whoops, that was fast

I see you fixed it.

Nope. Not on Vita.

I am still salty they left the shitty translation intact on Vita and released it only on PS4.


I looked around and decided to get it on Vita. From what I found, it is a solid port on Vita + it is cheaper. There is also ad-hoc multiplayer and it is almost identical content wise.

It also plays much more smoothly on the PS4. That alone makes it a way better game to me. Well, that and the MUCH improved non-Googled translation.

Bought Onechanbara Z2. Used previous $15 coupon + $6 balance in PSN + discount 10% .
Oh well, hopefully I got some time to play it before next year JRPG avalanche.
 
For how long will the witcher III window be open? If it's available for $25/- on PSN till EOD 27th, I'd just return the physical copy that I picked up at Best Buy.
