So what about Junes? When is Terraria going to show up as free?

I think all of the other PS+ games are already available. Like Trine 2.

Only 3 of the 6 June PS+ games are available now. Rest are coming next few Tuesdays. Still have Mutant Mudds, Terraria and Sly 4 coming, definitely not all the rest out already.

Get something cool from the RPG sale. Buy Ni No Kuni for $5 and spend the money you saved getting a new harddrive so you don't complain about the game size. Also, why are 2.5" HDs so expensive, I got a 1 TB like a year ago for $50 and now 500 GB are that price, 1 TB are closer to $80!

So I'm kind of curious about Soul Sacrifice Delta. Although I Platinumed Soul Sacrifice, the combat system had several issues that wore down on my enjoyment near the end - mostly due to the (in)effectiveness of melee offerings and the resulting lack of variety in combat that resulted from it end-game.

Does Delta do much to address the above? If I got bored of Soul Sacrifice, will Delta offer enough to get me interested again? (like combat changes, notable content additions, ect)

The gameplay mechanics have been rebalanced. Throw offerings can't be spammed anymore, blankets take much longer for inflicting status, and almost everyone uses melee online now.

All of the ones I listed and everything up to the bees are new archfiends. There are a couple that aren't on the website.

Edit: The lizard people in SSD have completely replaced the sorcerer assassins in SS, so that doesn't really count either.

Didn't you have 2 build in the vanilla version? And yes Delta make melee combat useful. Personally I now I go into battle with a melee weapon then a throw spell.

Lost planet 1 and 2 are good games, played a lot of LP2, but they are games that are way more fun with friends online. Not too sure if there is some players online.

Thanks guys. I'll sift through the OT and check out impressions just to be sure.
Also considering picking up Toukiden if my progress will carry over to Toukiden Extreme (assuming it gets localized).

Fucking board of directors in Football Manager annoying the shit out of me with their budget adjustment bullshit. Got 14 million and can't get a 5 million deal through because I can't adjust the budgets? Stupid game.

edit: deal was cancelled and I had to renegotiate it. Payed 1.5 million more and the wage is 800.000 higher and the board was fine with it...

.....you can attach external HDD to PS3 to play games from?

Nah, but you can replace the internal harddrive, that's why I specified 2.5" (laptop size, works with PS3). It's crazy to me that people are still using PS3 with 20-40 GB harddrives when you can so easily change it with a 500 GB - 1 TB, especially with all the huge size PS+ games we get. Also replacing internal doesn't void your warranty or anything and you can back everything up to an external drive, put it on the new drive and everything is as you left it. Long but very easy process.

They should make a game called Shahid Manager where you try to get games on Vita, LOLOLOLOL.

Toukiden acquired! I've been jonesing a good hunting action (is that really the genre name?) game on Vita. I tried to love Soul Sacrifice but I hate limited-use items and it just wasn't clicking.

Debating on Ni No Kuni - not even for the price, as that's impulse-buy turf, but just knowing I'll almost never have any chance of finishing it. It might be worth five bones just to see it in motion, though. Is it turn-based or active? What's the closest analogue in terms of other JRPGs?

I can't remember if Toukiden has limited use weapons... in the sense that they degrade over time and you have to use items to make them "sharp" again (like Monster Hunter)...

But if it does, it's the same concept.

Awwww yiss... just took out boss 2 in Nekomata in Fury mode. One more to go.

I usually dislike games with limitations in time and items too, but there are so many ways to replenish the spells in SS that it never bothered me. I can't recommend buying the original even at its current sale price now that Delta is out though.

I didn't like Ni no Kuni much, but $5 seems like a fair price for the Ghibli involvement alone. The battle system is active. There should be a demo that you can try out on PSN.

Thanks!

I love me some Kisuke.
So when I decided a bit ago to change my Strider avatar because people couldn't handle my disliking the new game when I had an avatar of the main character, I went looking for some way cool Muramasa fan arts. ^_^
I wish I had the patience to remove the whitespace. Maybe sometime soon.

The other one I have is really cool too.

You should see if you can make your avatar have a transparent background.

Not perfect, but I had time. =)
 
I'd genuinely buy this Game Dev Story spinoff.

The strategy would be to aim really low with £0.50 iPhone ports, then slowly work your way up through indie darlings like Minecraft and Binding Of Isaac, then eventually if you do really well, Red Dead: Tales, Bully: Field Trip Edition, and Elder Scrolls: Quests.
 
GAH! I'm on the fence about Ni No Kuni... But the backlog is SOOO deep... What are the odds this ends up on PS+? Should I just shut up and swallow the fiver because it's awesome and I might get around to it eventually?

I want to get Ni No Kuni, but I live in a six person household with a data cap so it would probably never be downloaded without maxing us out.

Still thinking of buying it to have it just in case lol.

Good enough for me.
I shall wear it proudly.

Thank you.


I thought it looked impressive, but it's not a game I'm going to give $20 before it's completed based on concept alone.

Dude, support the devs. It's Studio Ghibli for crying out loud! :p

I'm thinking of lowering my amount now... now that the PS4 goal is not being hit... and there's no Vita version in sight
 
I want to thank whoever recommended me to buy Parasite Eve for my Vita a month back.

The games atmosphere is eerie. Love it, I don't think I would be able to stomach this as a kid. I was huge baby growing up.

So glad I held off on Mutant Mudds and Terraria on Vita. Had a feeling they were heading to Plus.
Those were both games I've always wanted to play, but never anywhere near enough to want to pay. I love PS+. I think I actually buy more games because of it. It's devalued the time/price equation so much that I just buy things. I play them for 2 hours. And I'm done. Weird.

Metal Gear Ground Zeroes for $20
I've had it all spoiled for me essentially but I gotta do it. Especially since I have this really nice $10 off coupon it's effectively $10. Which means I'll skip Tales of Graces f and just wait for the next time it's on sale. And the Atelier game I've just decided to skip and make myself like Totori.

I was thinking that too but after I sold off Killzone : Shadowfall I don't have any more physical PS4 games. Add that to the fact that I own all Metal Gear Solid games physically, I need this. I need it physically. Then there's the fact that I own all of them at least 2 times over (All of them except MGS4 and MGS1 I actually own 3 times over), I might have to double up digitally one of these days. I'm gonna have to dip down again on MGS:HD Vita physical too.

Yes. I'm one of the reasons Kojima is fucking rich and also a mainiac. Wonder how I compared to Suppadoopa and Final Fantasy owning.

STAGE ONE, get three highly requested indie games ported to Vita.
"Hi, we'd like you to port this game to Vita"
"What's a Vita? Goodbye"

The waiting on plus continues
Only for games I was never ever going to buy in the first place. Mutant Mudd always looked like a generic 2-D indie platformer. And I already bought Terraria for PS3 and hated it. I'M LEGIT !!
I'd get it for $10
The only other MGS : HD Vita copies in my area are used. No more new copies =[. I'll have to pick it up at a buy 2 get 1 free used thing someday. Though, it was always supposed to be that and GZ so now I need to find a different game for backlog stuffing.

hahaha man I didn't think about it this way at all. I guess the only way I'm like this is for the Uncharted series.
