Hmm, I don't think I get Vanquish.

I'm just dodging like crazy from cover to cover, while holding down L1 to get bullet time when I land. If robots in sight, shoot, if not, dodge. It doesn't feel right, though, like I'm missing something. I'm fairly sure the boost is supposed to be used more, but I just end up with a lot of angry robots around me when I use it. Well, apart form boosting from cover to cover.

There has to be a better way to play it, I just have no idea how. Still manged to clear Act 1 on normal, somehow, but I'm fairly sure there's a way to do a lot more damage than I do, because those Jellyfish things in the escort mission were nearly impossible to kill before they reached the escorted. Which was bad. I also have no idea on how much damage Sam takes. Would it have killed Platinum to put a life gauge somewhere?

Pretty game, though.

Was that from this week's store publish or next week? Anything you buy with plus on discount we keep when we don't have plus anymore right? I might buy that as I'm an honorary EU PS+ member for this month. I've never tried the thing but heard GREAT things. 67% off is hard to pass up. :)

Edit: Actually I read that wrong...it's more than 67% off with Plus. Score! :)

Part of Euro 12 deals of Xmas and yeah anything you buy is yours to keep forever. The only thing that expires with your sub is the free games and dlc.

I wish I was in the US now. :/

I'm actually in the EU but I'm a US PS+ member. Thanks to Amazon (and my former AMEX credit card), I was able to subscribe to US PS+ without paying premium fees for PSN cards.
If you can (and aren't already a EU PS+ member), you should use Amazon to buy a US 50$ PSN code and subscribe to PS+ using that.

fuckin' called it, man
When I bought that 3 month PS+ card a few months ago it was either that or 20 playstation dollars to buy AE.

I made the right decision.

Fair warning for anyone who is downloading AE and playing SF4 for the first time, if you're going to play online, play in ranked and sort by "same skill." People have been playing this game for quite some time and almost all players in endless lobbies are pretty skilled at this point.

Hmmm... I'm torn on SSFIV. This gives me the chance to have it on the PS3 in addition to the Xbox 360 for free, which is kinda nice. On the other hand, it still feels like Europe keeps getting the better end of these deals when it comes to the free games (in terms of what games I personally want).

EU got more recent games, but I'm actually happier with the US selection.

Only games I regret not having are:
- Mortal Kombat Vita
- Stranger's Wrath
- Dead Space 2
- Crysis 2

On the other hand, I'm glad I've got these:
- Quantum Conundrum
- Walking Dead E1&2
- KoF 13
- SFIV: AE
- Trine 2
- WipeOut 2048
- Jet Set Radio

Wish Trine 2 would go up again.

Rochard is the type of Plus freebie I love: a good under-the-radar game that many people won't even try unless it's free. Which is why I can't get too upset when SCEA doesn't offer as many big retail games as SCEE does.

Wow, AE!? I always hated being 'behind' because I never wanted to pony up more money for an update, now I can get back into the game!

With the announcement of Dark Souls 2, what are the odds that Dark Souls shows up as a free game? Demon Souls servers are no longer running, right?

Any way for int'l people to buy PSN EU cards? Amazon UK works good with international debit cards? Interested in that Sleeping Dogs...

i bought sfiv and ssfiv at launch, but held out on AE....i WIN capcom
oh god i lose so bad. still haven't broken down and bought umvc3 though, felt way too burned from buying mvc3 at launch

december has certainly been less troll-y for the US than november was, even though i loved getting KOF. i'm interested to see if they'll keep up for the remainder of december or drop the bomb on us with PAIN
