Got steins, Max and batman. Great sale.
I said fuck it and ended up getting both. XCOM is just a fantastic game with tons of replay and the port is good enough for a handheld version. This will be my first Civ Rev game but it looked fun enough and the Vita severely lacks games in the genre.
Regardless, for $8 each there's not much to lose. Even if Civ sucks I still paid less than the full price of XCOM to get both games.
Oh, and while XCOM is a beefy 2.2GB, CivRev2 comes in under 500MB. That made it a lot easier to pull the trigger.
Has the coupon code expired? Just added two $50 cards in my cart and can't get it to work. Thanks.
I bought it for $30 last week and I like it. The opening isn't as hype as AC, imo, but the game is really fun and I am enjoying this story more. There are a lot of batmobile segments but I already knew that going in and I find them pretty fun.
My biggest complaint is that there are less "dungeons". When Batman went open world with AC, we got "dungeons" like Penguin's building, Joker's building, etc. These "dungeons" are where you would get your predator sections and Asylum style puzzles/gadget-use. I am about a third through AK and I have only seen one dungeon. I feel that this one is more outdoor and I miss the dungeons.
The open world is really fun to get around though - with the batmobile or without. It's easily the best in the series in that regard.
The gadget system is kind of like previous games but you start off with stuff like the line launcher and the remote batarang. I find myself using them less than in oast games but I am still relatively early.
The story is one of the best aspects so far - definitely Rocksteady's best, imo.
For reference, so far my overall game ranking is AC>AK>AO>AA and my story ranking is AO>AK>AA>AC.
TL;DR: Buy it.

Yup, I think it expires. Couldn't checkout with the coupon as well.

Gameplay wise it was the best batman for me. At this price it's a steal.

Very worth $11.
A summer themed code expires in a day WHAT!?! Is there another one.
Yeah, I was suprised to see some of the prices besting Steam's.
So everyone says. I picked up the PS4 version last time it was 3.75. Can't complain about the price but I couldn't get into it. Didn't grab me like S1 of TWD.
That TT Batman game looks awesome, though.
It really is a good game. It's a shame it can't seem to shake the launch stigma. There are some design issues and not everyone likes the tank stuff, but people act like it's a crime against humanity.

Surprised Muramasa's DLC isn't on sale yet. Is any of it worth getting in particular?
The VN is even better. Better art, more story, everything.

I'd say it's worth $4 if your interested, but yeah, it's not perfect or anything. There is a demo. I enjoyed it, though put it down... but i liked it enough that i haven't deleted it and want to go back.

Grabbed The Swindle and it's hard as balls. It has that one more run effect and gives you the desire to progress though.
Also grabbed Mcdroid for $2 because tower defence is lacking on PS4 and it looked interesting.

I want Xrd vanilla for the story mode, but I kind of want the physical edition. Did it get a manual?
Also still wondering about the Muramasa DLC.

Finally got it in this sale, and it's been awesome so far. So far Arkham City has the better story, but everything else is top-tier.
And the Batmobile is great

Wish I wasn't broke right now 
This.
Coming from someone who isnt a fan of TellTale Games, Tales From Borderlands was amazing!
Also, any feedback on Steins:Gate?

You won't regret it, one of my favortie games last year. Played Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, thought they were ok but nothing special. Tales From Borderlands story/tone is leaps and bounds better imo

Batmobile really is great....for a while. It gets used way too much as the game goes on, and the same commentary from enemies during tank battles becomes really annoying. That said, the rest of the gameplay is very good, and had they trimmed down the batmobile combat it would have been better than AC.

Yeah, the Batmobile itself is great, the way it controls and it handles, how it feels like supercar tank, how seamless the shift between battle and driving modes, how it's integrated into combat and how you can launch from or dive into it so smoothly
The over-reliance on tank battles isn't great.
But I actually am really liking the Riddler challenges
Definitely pick it up if you're into precision-based, hard puzzle-like challenges. Towerfall singleplayer is amazing.

Only got XCOM (Vita) and Lego Jurassic World (PS4). Still sitting here mulling over Arkham Knight. I've already played it and sold it back for like $40. Kind of want to have it just in case the mood strikes me to play it again, but then I've got so many other games to play.

If you 'loved' the previous 2 it's a no brainier.

I wish you wouldn't have said anything. Tempting to grab it.
Edit: I have Arkham Asylum and I think the one after free from PS+ but I haven't finished either yet.
Yep, it's really cool. Second favorite TT game behind Wolf Among Us. I loved what they did with each episode's intro.
It's a great deal, for sure, but you shouldn't buy it just to buy it if you haven't even finished the previous, superior entries. It will go on sale again, the Arkham games have been dirt cheap in sales quite often and both Asylum and City have been Plus games. Maybe by the time you finish the first two it'll be free!
Maybe? I didn't particularly care for episode one. Felt like bad fan-fiction (which I guess it is?).
BUT, Episode One is completely free, so you can try it and judge for yourself!

Batman is really damn good. It's more of a "Batman Simulator" than I was expecting, which is a good thing.
All the hate on the Batmobile is overblown. It handles OK once you get some practice (i'm around 8 hours in) and the way they use it for puzzles in the main missions can be pretty clever.

Here's my summary from this sale, all for PS Vita:
Steins;Gate $11.99 (heard good things about it, love novels on portable)
The Wolf Among Us $7.49 (never played it, hope it is good as I really like TT games)
XBlaze Lost: Memories$11.99 (another novel)
BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma EXTEND$11.99 (completing my BB collection on Vita)
The Walking Dead: Season Two $5.99 (replaying it; have it on PS3)
LEGO Jurassic World $7.99 (shot in the dark - no idea how this plays)
Atomic Ninjas $2.49 (same as above, just going in blind and seeing if it is fun)
Please Sony, keep adding strong PS Vita lineups in the next sales. I'm doing my part.
Edit: already owned Soul Sacrifice Delta, Zero Escape VLR, Muramasa Rebirth; I recommend them all to whoever is on the fence.

If I remember right it did. Can't remember exactly since I got the collectors edition with the artbook and what not so I did not really look at the other stuff. I'm like 80% sure it did though...
So...
VLR or Stiens gate.
Never finished 999 or made it out of the first room in the opening for even more details lol. But all the praise has me interested.
