I thought it was fantastic. Beautiful, engaging story. Its probably my favorite walking simulator, and I'm a big fan of most of the genre.

Loved it, very hard to recommend though without having an idea of someone's tastes. It is essentially the best visual radio drama ever made.

Looks like I'm finally getting Life is Strange.

It's not that short, I'd say about 8 hours for one play through, and you will probably want to play it multiple times. Also it's great to play with friends or significant other around.

Yeah it's around 8 hours long, that said it's fantastic. I bought it full price digital (the only game I've ever done that for) and had no regrets
I also replayed it straight after finishing it which is something I never do.
Eventually you'll need to pick up both cause they both seem to be incredible. For now it depends on your mood: sci-fi horror or metroidvania/2D platformer? Enjoy

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
Oh thank you Video Game Gods for this sale (and Neogaf for informing me)! I've been hmmm and hawwwing trying to decide whether to use the $20 PSN card I was given for Tales from the Borderlands or Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, and now I can get both and still have money left over. And people say procrastination is a bad thing!

Hmmm has anybody tried Among the Sleep? The Trailer looks really interesting, but I'd like to hear some opinions.

I have a feeling Banner Saga will be cheaper soon since it's only 30% off, but that is the only game pushing me over $100 for the deal. I have most of the retail games on disc already.
$50 PS+
Axiom Verge $11.99
Soma - $16.49
Life is Strange - $10
Guns, Gore & Cannoli - $4.99
= 93.45. I could add a filler game like Hotline Miami 2 but then I'm only buying stuff I won't play for a long time to hit $100. Was going to get Among the Sleep but I heard it's super short and meh.

I bought Taco Master for $1.49 because it's Greg Miller's Game of the Year. Can't go wrong with that!
Was he serious about it, or it is it a joke? Yeah, it's cheap, but to me it looks like cheap shovelware.
He was joking. He did enjoy it enough because of the easy platinum but his GotY was MGSV.

Decided to preorder the digital deluxe version of Uncharted 4 for 79.99 since no retail version includes the single player dlc. Also picked up Axiom Verge and Banner Saga to push me over $100.
Funded my wallet by buying PSN cards from a gas station using my Chase Freedom card, so that adds another 5% back in points.

I'm about 4 or 5 hours into Banner Saga, and honestly I wouldn't recommend it on PS4. The controls in battle are awful, some of the text is really small, and I've had a couple glitches in battle where I've had to reload.
The game is good but it's really meant to be played on a tablet or PC.

Just be aware that the store updates at very random times. Usually around noon, but sometimes sooner or later.
This sale went up really early last Tuesday, so yeah. Id buy what I want at least by the end of today to be safe.

I think I prefer Life is Strange over Until Dawn, but all of these are great. Amazing year for what I would call adventure games!

Store updates have been really early for almost a month now, so yeah, definitely buy sooner rather than later.

Just finished Life is Strange chapter 1...does the game get any better?
I'm not a big fan of the game but try episode 2 episode 1 is mostly set-up.
I can't say whether you'll like it more but that seem s to be where some people get into it.

Not really.

I'd say it really gets good towards the end of episode 3, though some really good stuff happens at the tail end of episode 2. Most of episodes 1 and 2 feel like setup and filler, but for good reason.
AmuroChan

Yes, eps 3-5 are great.
yeah, by the end of episode 2 you will "get" the game

I bit on Black Ops 3. Any of you guys out there playing it?

I bought Life Is Strange and Until Dawn during the sale, no regrets so far. I just finished episode 1 of Life Is Strange and started episode 2. It's a pretty cool game! Haven't tried Until Dawn yet but I hear it's great as well.

Man, Banner Saga looks great, but I don't think I can handle an SRPG right now so I picked up Hitman GO to maybe be a little faster and easier for me.

Accidentally bought the PS3 version of Life is strange, so I had to chat with support about getting a refund to purchase the PS4 version.
They MIGHT do it as a one time courtesy, blah blah.... Still waiting for the refund to show up. I chatted within minutes of making the purchase and never Even downloaded it to my PS3.
Their customer service really sucks.

The community thread for the game is still chugging along so you should be good for gaffers to play with.

I picked up Project Cars and Banner Saga. Along with the cheap Rise of the Tomb Raider sale on Friday, I'll be set with games for a while

Just got Bloodborne for $22.39. I was going to get Until Dawn too, but I've read that once you beat the 2 scenarios there's not much reason to replay, so I'll pick that up physical at some point. FINALLY Bloodborne!

That's kind of one gripe of mine with Sony/Playstation, last gen when I was on 360 Microsoft was always super swift and easy about mistakes I made, refunded them readily when they could have just said it was my fault.
