So I guess hand of fate, organ trail, big sky, and nekoburo cats move to 'buy' pile.
Sold.
thanks for helping me dodge it!
I played the Big Sky demo and was one of the people who had issues seeing bullets, etc. but... I'll give it another spin based on your rec. I loved Oregon Trail, so maybe I'll just give Organ Trail a shot. Pure Chess.... I guess I can skip it.... i wouldn't mind having it on my vita but I don't think i'd ever choose it over something else.
Thanks for the feedback!

Still looking for feedback on:
hypervoid
cosmophony
bloxiq
2013 infected wars
super blackout
squares

When it comes to 2D games, dat OLED trumps everything else imo. So, one vote for the Vita (on which I'm playing Shovel Knight).

Got Skullgirls specifically cause the devs stated it would be crossbuy with vita. Here's hoping I don't have to wait much longer.

To all those who recommended Shovel Knight: Thank you so Much! I have been playing since i purchased it. So hard to put down. Just a well thought out game and the soundtrack and levels are so awesome. Thank you so much!

Rogue legacy and sound shapes are both fantastic both have really good cross save with the other versions of that helps. Honestly those 2 are up most of my time spent in airports since they've been released. Flower is good and super relaxing. Limbo is enjoyable in general but didn't get as into as the first 2 mentioned.

Still waiting on some impressions on Fat Princess Adventures. Think I'm in for Fibbage and Pure Pool, but I'm on the fence about FPA.
Hmmm thanks
Edit: I'm on the fence with Limbo. Think I will get the other games though

I own and have played a lot of these, so here are some recs for those that need them.
Must Own:
Crimsonland (one of the best dual stick shooters ever)
Transistor (seriously good, sort of a modern semi-action take on srpgs)
Bastion
Don't Starve
Guacamelee! Bundle Fantastico
Hotline Miami
Velocity 2x
Tokyo Jungle (Top 10 from last gen!)
Limbo
Good for the 'experience':
Sound Shapes
Flower
Recommended w/ reservations (depends on what you like):
Rainbow Moon (best with about $3 of dlc to dodge some hassle)
Dead Nation (always charge shoot your primary weapon for best results)
Luftrausers (single stage score attack shooter with thrust/gravity mechanics... it's brilliant, but ultimately you need to be into the genre)
Killallzombies -- plays a lot like Crimsonland. Not as good, but still worth checking out.
Haven't played but have heard only good things:
Badland
Hohokum
Organ Trail
Fibbage
Games everyone loves but me:
Rogue Legacy
Terraria
--------------
overall, this is a fantastic sale. I own a lot of the 'must haves' already, but $30-50 could easily give someone new to the Sony fold a year's worth of absolutely fantastic games.

Those are all really good games. Don't hesitate to purchase.

C-mon, someone help me out! How puzzle focused is Ethan Carter?? Hoping puzzles are minimal. How long is the game?
There are a few puzzles (like 4 or 5 I'd say) but they aren't very complex or anything.
The game is not very long, it shouldn't take more than 4 hours to see everything. It's worth it though, the atmosphere is top notch.
Puzzles are throughout the game, nothing taxing, mostly exploration. Game is about five-six ish hours I think? It's been a while.
Damn. Wish I saw this before picking up 5 games. Oh well, still only cost $28. Can the coupon work on pre orders.

Most of them are pretty simple. A lot of the game is exploration though.
I'd get the Vita version tbh. Visual Novels are perfect for handhelds imo. Unless you really want the higher resolution CGs.

I finally picked up Steins;Gate on Vita! Looking forward to giving it a go 
So far, I think Organ Trail will be a good investment. I had to laugh when the player named after my borderline survivalist friend died first... I genuinely hate the shooting though.
I picked up Skullgirls 2nd Encore as well. I was not the biggest fan of the original when I bought that at launch, but it has grown a lot and I gambled my $10. Thankfully, I like it now.

It depends. Vita is cross-buy and has Kratos. 3ds has 3D and Amiibo support.
On Topic: I wonder if $16 is as low as Steins Gate will go, or if it will be cheaper in the next 6 months.

Redeemable only on the PS4 console. Cannot be redeemed on the online store.
yea, that's what is says in the post you just quoted?
And for the poster above, I'm sure it will work on pre-orders but since preorders only let you do one at a time your not really taking full advantage of the 20% off entire cart (neither would be as you said your cart was only $28 that would only give you what $3-$4 off and since the code is that much you wouldn't be saving any money. I'm not sure you know how to take full advantage of those codes)

Thanks. I'm gonna' go ahead and grab it.

it doesn't work on pre-orders, they don't give you an option to put in a promo code
also for $28 the 20% off code would have saved $5.60

I thought Steins was cross save..... Damn it. I choose Life I guess.

Went back for Hotline Miami since they're all but giving it a way, only I forgot about the $5 PSN wallet minimum, so I grabbed Bastion too. Five great games for under $30, can't beat it. This probably means I'll be holding off on The Witnesss though, with Gravity Rush and Firewatch are dropping in a couple of weeks.

I didn't like Unfinished Swan, but I feel like I'm in the minority on that one.
The rest of them rank from good to great.
Rogue Legacy is probably the best game on that list.
I bought it at full price when I the PS4 launched and I was itching for games to play. Never played it. I'm such a dope.

Played Fibbage last night with my wife and 9 year old daughter. Fibbage is a bit too mature for my 9 year old daughter (one question wanted the name of a dildo in the shape of the Queen of England or something) but we had a blast. It is lots of fun.
If you have friends over, you can play up to 8 people. It is an awesome party game, dont think about it, just buy it at that price.

Hand of Fate is pretty fun and unique.
Once again, thanks
Ended up going with all the games on that list + as well as Dust
