Which one is recommended... Wolfenstein Old Blood or New Order??? Only want to get one or the other... Thanks in advance for some insight!

Old Blood is shorter, but get both.
Be forwarned that there is nudity in TNO, but you can skip those cutscenes, otherwise it is deserving of goty 2014.
Even for $10 it's not worth it.
I got bored by the time I got like 3/4 of the game through and traded it off.
There are better linear action shooting games on PS4 anyways.
Order may LOOK good, but it's gameplay and pacing are just dull and uninspired.

I'd go The New Order, it edges out Old Blood very slightly for me. You can't really go wrong with either, but if it were my choice, New Order all the way. It was a lot more interesting and fun, and a longer game (if that counts for anything)!
It's basically the gaming equivalent of

Yep. I'd say it's even worth the $20 it was before the deal.

Old Blood is terrible, in my opinion. I couldn't even bother to get past the introductory "stealthy" sequence where you're limited to a melee weapon and have to either avoid or sneak-attack a bunch of super-nazis, all packed into a narrow hallway with very few places to hide.
Felt more like I had to puzzle out the route instead of going in guns blazing (which is how New Order was) so I figured if the intro could miss the mark so bad compared to the previous title, it wasn't worth investing time into the rest of the game.
Maybe they mean it's not worth the time.
I played it through once during the course of several lunchbreaks, but not sure I would ever be in the mood to play it again, even at a $10 steal.
It's technically and visually stunning, but that's about it...
For me, it's less about "hate" and more about "indifference".
if the story was good, i would say it's worth checking out at higher prices but man, they really dropped the ball on it.
You can get a good month of play out of it without it feeling boring/repetitive. But after that, it feels like the same old Destiny and a slog to play. So I wouldn't buy it if you want long term play out of it. Haven't felt the need to log in since mid October and running the raid 2 times but I did have lots of fun the first 2 weeks or so.
What about Godzilla? Seems like the kind of game that would be fun for that price.
Does J-star Victory have any good single player component? No interest in playing fighters online other than Smash.

Look if you want a good linear shooting game on the PS4 that's cheap right now, go grab Metal Slug 3
It's a good port, offers replayability and has 2 player co-op.
Also has fantastic soundtrack and best English ever

It WAS on sale a few weeks ago, but hey you got a 10% discount code, go relive the good old days.

You didn't even play it...
Other than that I haven't either. But competing son..
I actually really enjoyed the gunplay in the game. I think it mostly boils down to the setting more than anything else. If you dig the setting or the idea behind the setting then it can be a nice (also gorgeous) trip of virtual tourism. If it doesn't suit you setting wise then you'll tire of it. But fur someone to tell you it's not worth $10 if you even having just a passing interest in the game just seems petty to me.

Kinda thinking about Shadow of Mordor. I seem to remember it getting decent reviews on release, but how did it hold up after the honeymoon period?

Getting an error every time I try to check out. Fix your store Sony.

Godzilla is a simple action game, and if you like kaiju or godzilla movies in general you will like it more. It's also great for kids to play, I mean who DOESN'T want to play as a giant monster stomping on tanks, destroying buildings and burning things?
You also get to play as King Ghidorah and Jet Jaguar, whose mother never loved him
Batman combat is too shallow to base an entire game around and the open-world is just Ubisoft tower-climbing collectathon bullshit.
Nemesis system is fun, if you haven't already mastered Batman combat.
Had it happen about ten times in a row over 15 minutes then it went through finally. The beowulf game gear cluster is melting with the load.
awesome game and the different ways you can kill guys is always satisfying. def worth playing.
J-Star has a pretty crazy adventure mode that can be a lot of fun if your into Shonen Jump characters. You basically captain a pirate ship and sail around recruiting crew mates and fighting others. Lots of fun references, dude missions and character mash ups. There's also different arcs you can play which basically amount to different stories with different lead characters. You can get a pretty good idea of it from this. If that looks fun to you if say definitely grab it for the price.

This is not even remotely similar to the Order and you damn well know it. Third person shooters do not equate to side scrolling shoot em ups. Nor does the pixel art equate to 3D rendering. I mean seriously? These two games offer completely different things.
Yeah, the New Order is the superior value for the money since it's about the same price as the add-on (Old Blood) for twice the campaign content. On How long to beat, the average length of TNO (combined) is 14 hours vs 7 for TOB. Players also seems to somewhat dislike the challenge arenas in TOB.
Godzilla has some of the worst controls and graphics I have ever seen in a game. I highly recommend you check out some videos before you plop down the money for it.
Wait. Does the ps4 version have extra content I am unaware of? I thought the PC version was the same?

For those that are fans of otome games and have played Amnesia: Memories, do you think I should pick it up? I love visual novels but I've never played an otome game before. I'm certainly not against the idea, though. Are the characters likeable and is the plot at least decent?

They're still both linear shooting games though, which is why I brought it up :X
I would've mentioned Shadow Warrior but it's not discounted, and well that's more of a First Person Action game if not a shooter
There's nothing wrong with the controls or graphics. You're controlling a giant monster, why does it need to move like your average human protag video game character.
The game has black and white option mode for dat authentic 60s Godzilla feel too
Hey the models are pretty damn nice for the monsters. The controls are old school tank controls though, so if you arent used to em, then that could be a breaker.

It's a good Orc Slaying simulator but outside that it's...passable.
I dislike tank controls for the most part, but Godzilla's weren't an issue.

Linear is not the same as 2D side scroller dude. The Order combat takes place in three dimensions. You're being purposefully obtuse.

The graphics (outside of character models) and effects are seriously horrendous looking. If that doesn't bother you that's fine but there is no way somebody can argue that it is a good looking game. If you buy this game it's not gonna be for the graphics.
The controls are incredibly cumbersome and the move sets for each playable mobster are very very limited. You can argue that monsters should feel cumbersome and unwieldy to control but that doesn't make the process of attempting to exert that control any more fun or less frustrating.
The monster models look decent yes but literally everything else does not. Look at the ground, the buildings and the explosion effects.

I spent so long trying to get Sony's crappy site to redeem my game card codes without erroring out that I did indeed forget to use the coupon code. Sigh.
Where? Haven't had time to go through ads and the ones I did check didn't have digital codes.

Buy both
On the first question I think it's pretty fun. You can se my other post earlier talking about the campaign for a look at why.
As far as local multiplayer goes Yes it does
I hope you like it!

By linear I mean straight forward without any alt. paths to progress a game.
The Order is linear, you are set only on the path which the developers made to progress any area of the game. Hence why I use the term.
SOme SFX for kaiju attacks are intended to resemble their movie counterparts, for example Godzilla '14's atomic breath effects are different to how Classic Godzilla's is. etc.
Even still graphics aren't that bad, but yeah one is getting this fort the gameplay and the fanservice.
Limited movesets is in various AAA action games anyways, this isn't a Platinum action game, the simple combat is likely so that those not used to a lot of action games can get into it with ease.
From the viewpoint of a kaiju, it doesn't matter what it looks like; what it looks like AFTER you stomp is all that matters :V

Is it possible to use the 10% code twice? Or is there another? I have to go back for more!
No, but Amazon has a 10% off code for PSN games as well. May have to wait and see if they price match any of these deals tomorrow.
