[EU] PSN Black Friday sale extravaganza - Great prices!

It may go down £5-10 more, but that's a small price to pay to play the game a month early - it's absolutely worth it.

Thanks and yeah you're right, the price to pay is small.
I was just considering waiting because I need to dedicate more time to BF1.

Got a couple more days to decide anyhow.

As a single player only guy, without ps plus, can I still enjoy Starwars battlefront ultimate edition? Is it enough single player content? Like horde mode, bot matches etc? No Campaign right?

If you love Star Wars you will definitely get some 10 or so hours enjoyment out of the single player modes. Maybe more but it will feel a little "hollow" after a while.

Imo the meat of the game and more fun you could have is online, especially since you have the season pass, the new stuff added has been pretty good.

You think TF2 will be on sale again during Christmas?
I'm tempted to pull the trigger at £35 but it's a wee bit less on Amazon currently (but would prefer a digital version).

Sorry, I was referencing retail sales. I definitely think Titanfall 2, Mafia 3 and Watch Dogs 2 will all be sub-£20 in a couple of months. No idea if/when they'll show up in sale on PSN again though.

So about Muramasa. I already own the basic version. The version on sale includes the four dlc packs for 8 euro, which is cheaper than buying the DLC packs together (11.25). What I want to know is if my old save will be compatible with the complete edition. Sometimes complete editions are registered as separate games with their own trophies and everything (like Witcher 3).

I bought it and it just is the standard game + the 4 dlc downloads in your dl list. No separate complete edition

It's such a sad state to enter a sale and own everything that's even remotly interesting. I have a problem. :(

Really tempted to grab Hitman at that price. I'm more of a disc guy but that's damn cheap. Does anyone know if the game will be getting a platinum?

Probably not happening. The good news is you can get more points from the first season than from a standard platinum game.

You should definitely get the digital version. The boxed version is most likely going to launch at £40-45 and won't see a price drop to £25 for at least 4-5 months. By then season two should start and you will miss out on a whole bunch of live content like Elusive targets which is where the game really shines IMO.

Yeah, I don't think we've ever had a flash sale on the EU store?

I'm new to PS Store sales so I didn't know (only got into it due to selling my launch PS4 and getting a Pro).

Debating on whether I should buy Batman Arkham Knight... already own it on PC (including season pass) though.

Tempted by XCOM2 and Hitman.

How bad is XCOM 2 on consoles? I read about awful load times towards the end of the game but what about the rest? Is it a competent port?

Hitman was praised a lot but I never played the other games and after Mankind Divided and Dishonored 2 I'm afraid I'm going to be burnt out by another stealth game

Nah it won't. Devs decided for whatever reason not to add one from the start. Watch them do it for season 2 lol.

There is a chance the physical copy might have a platinum though, if it means that much to you.
 
I'm kinda bummed out, I bought a PS4 Pro today and got 3 months of PS+ for free. Was planning on using it to buy Ratchet & Clank and Gravity Rush, which were pretty cheap... until yesterday. Now the discounts on them are gone.

E: On the other hand I did get a 750Gb SSD for 130€ to put in said PS4 Pro, so Black Friday's still a win in my book :)

Don't worry too much. I'd wager they'll both get a price drop in the New Year sales too.
 
For Hitman, if I buy the intro episode first, and the upgrade pack after, do I still get that extra bonus content "The Sarajevo Six"? If not, is that content actually worth it?
 
Yay finally bought a PS4 now on black friday for 230 Euro..chepeast I could find in Sweden..

Picking up the following 3 games to start with on PSN

Need for speed
MTGSV Definitive edition
Killzone shadow fall

PS4 has been out for 3 years now and those are the games you start with? Scrap NFS and Killzone.

Nice, 3 decent games to get you started and there's plenty more in the catalogue to catch up on!

As for Battlefront, I can't recommend it for single player only however there is some 'missions' to run and earn stars with enemy wave based rounds. I haven't played it in a while so something new maybe added but unsure about a bot mode. I suppose for how cheap it is now it's worth a look but no there's no campaign like a single player story to follow with chapters etc.

I ended up pulling the trigger (lol) because I couldn't be bothered waiting till January and I doubt the price will drop anytime soon.

All I'm after now is Aragami and Kholat cheap and I'll be happy.

Homefront at that price is awfully tempting, mind.
 
UK PS3 store (I know..) has a giant Black Friday up to 60% off sign but when I click it just says 'this content cannot be selected at this time' wtf? Has been like that for hours at least.

Well to "defend" this :) I am very well aware of the ps4 library, but:

*Need for speed was my "Most wanted" game, just pure fun. 15 euro

*Im a Huge killzone fan, I know this campaign is not rated high, but again the IP combined with those Graphics at a bargain cost of 8 euro

*MtgsV definitive edition,15 euro, my favorit franchise. I know the story might be meh but the gameplay is pure awesomeness, and the ost.

Very happy to start of with these. Of Course Bloodborne goty, witcher 3 goty, gtaV, tf2 Will have to be purchased once these go below 20 euro :p
 
I got NFS most wanted for 4£ on ps3.

Bargain at that price and I was blown away with the throaty roar of EVERY engine in every car in the game. Sublime stuff. Apart from that I might get the ratchet trilogy, any impressions.ofhiw well they hold up, I think bluepoint did the remasters??

Very solid port.

Great Adventure/platformer/shooter games.
 
I've bought Tearaway Unfolded and Muramasa Rebirth Complete. Also got Mad Max, Shadow of Mordor GotY and Darksiders 2 from US PSN (which had much better deals). Still in two minds whether to get Godzilla, mainly because my son likes the character and we often play fight as Godzilla & King Ghidorah so I think he'd like the game.

Sold some physical games for £150 and spent the £150 on PSN credit. Going mostly digital from this point on. Grabbed GTA V with 3.5m, Uncharted 4, Infamous and Battlefront Ultimate Edition. All games I owned physically but no more disc swapping! Grabbed Skyrim, Ark and ReCore on Xbox as well. Good sales this year.

I'm mostly digital but I don't play multiplayer games much so it puts me off buying the likes of Uncharted 4 digitally when it's the same cost used on disc and I can sell it on when I finish the story.

i really wanted godzilla, but i ended up seeing gameplay vids and.... it looks really bad unfortunately.

That list is far more damaging to me than the original Black Friday sale.

I know Slain for PS Vita has only been recently put up, but I thought it was meant to be crossbuy...

Also seems like only PS4 games are on sale in this update, that is slightly disappointing...

I just checked up on that. It's supposed to be cross buy but the listing on the store is wrong. You're supposed to get the Vita version as well when it's fixed. No guarantee but that's what the dev on twitter says

I'll end up taking the bite anyway... AU$9 is a great price, plus I'll end up picking up the physical version I'm sure of it when it releases next year.
 
Gemini Heroes Reborn is worth €5. It is not fantastic, has some dumb AI, and probably could have done with more development time, but it has great ideas. Fantastic ideas. It is made by the people who worked on both Psi-Ops and Stranglehold in a previous life.

It is much better than a game connected to that shitshow should be.

If you dont trust me on that, here are four other good really cheap games from the list...

Assault Android Cactus (€7) - Best twin stick shooter in years
Assemblance (€5) - Play this without reading a word about it!
Lichtspear (€4) - Simple idea done very well with great presentation
Tharis (€5) - This is a game that hates you, and you will love it cause it hates you

I command thee to buy Resogun, INSIDE, Machinarium, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, Unravel and Bound!

I'm about to try The Witness.

Shit shit shit..

That list is more ruthless than the other!

I think I may grab the witness.

Soma I already have.

Is hard reset any good?

I'll create new thread.
 
Ah come on, I'd stopped. I'D STOPPED!!!!

My sentiment exactly. I've already bought 5 games from the Black Friday sales! I'm now adding:

Slain
Steamworld Heist
Lichtspeer
Assemblance (£18.76 total)

Also considering:

Assault Android Cactus
Rocketbirds 2: Evolution

I'm interested in The Witness but I'm not getting it right now.

I wasn't prepared for this. Better than the bloody normal BF sale!
 
The Black Friday sale should last until midnight tonight right ? I'm still debating picking up Odin Sphere.

If you are talking about the PS4 version, it seems like a game that is now getting reduced during every main PSN sale - and is getting a bit cheaper each time. If you want to wait, it will probably go sub-€20 during the Christmas sales at this rate.

I am indeed, and hmm - I was under the impression it rarely goes on sale, but if that's the case I'll wait, thank you :)

I haven't touched a single game I've picked up on sale in the past 2 months.. and I've picked up quite a few, it's a sickness !

I might still pick up Guilty Gear Xrd if it's on sale when I get back from work :p
