NA PSN PAX Sale ( it's better the flash sale )

How is Darkest Dungeon on PS4?

I bought this game during the Totally Digital Sale last month, it IS cross buy with Vita.



It is pretty much the only game I have played since I bought it. I just passed Day 100 and It is totally digital crack. I cannot stop playing. It is hard to pick up at first (the very initial learning curve takes a bit of time to understand the games mechanics), since some things aren't exactly obvious, so I did some googling like "Tips for Beginners Darkest Dungeon"



I have never looked back. It is hard, it is depressing, it is exciting, it is fun!


PROTIP: Never get attached to a single member of your party. They are meant to be used up and discarded if they dont die first!
 
Hmm, Slain is 4.49, which means I need to buy something else to make it worthwhile.

Let's see, what's this Neighborhorde for $2...

Neighborhorde is a couch co-op shoot ’em up where you and your team of friends use toys as weapons and game-changing superpowers to try to survive the attacks of evil robots and zombie Abe Lincolns.

IN.

Nex Machina is also on sale. I wasnt sure about buying it but after playing it for 30 minutes, let me tell you its absolutely essential for fans of twinstick shmups.

Finished Steins;Gate (Vita) recently, been looking for a sale on Steins;Gate 0 for some time now, and only saw the PS4 version, but now that the Vita version on sale, it is now in my library.


How is Final Fantasy Type-0? I've been on the fence for that game for a long time. I'm a fan of FF, but not sure how this is + I'm burning a backlog. What say ye, GAF?

What if I played and despised Demons/Dark Souls? That's why I haven't played it yet.

Depends on what you despised about them I guess.

Bloodborne is built on the same basic framework but at the same time has quite a bit of its own.

The game itself feels more horror and the world feels closer to Vampire Hunter D than Berserk. The combat is more in your face since shields aren't a thing in the game and it's more about dodging. The life regain system also favors more aggressive play.

Oh and you parry using guns.

An insane amount of great games!

Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0, Crypt of the Necrodancer, all the Final Fantasy games, Xcom 2, Shadow of Mordor, Parasite Eve I & II, Valiant Hearts, Transistor, Bastion, Bloodborne, Catherine, Valkyria Chronicles, Persona 4 DAN...

I'd be so bankrupt right now if I had to choose.

I hated Demons/Dark Souls when I first played them too.

Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time.
 
Was shocked to see Bloodborne so low, but for some reason even though I have $15 in my wallet I STILL don't really feel like getting it. Without the DLC especially makes me not want it.
 
I want Bloodborne digitally, especially since I can trade in my physical copy to Amazon for $11. Will all my saves work on the digital version? Same thing with the DLC?
 
.....so why is Bloodborne headlining a PAX Sale?..... hype in 3...2... 1....

Don't do this to me..

Saw this and the Ubisoft sale earlier, but already spent $160 this month, just the other day I bought GG Rev2 and God Wars.
Now there's like 5-6 titles on sale that I want :S

My gaming time is limited and my backlog is huge, so what I hated about them was the time-consuming backtracking, re-fighting enemies, and loss of progress/souls upon death. I've always assumed Bloodborne had the same approach to the punishment of poor players.

It does. If you really don't like Souls games, you aren't going to like Bloodborne. (I love them, but they clearly aren't for everybody).

I'm half tempted to pick up 3rd Birthday just to experience that trainwreck.
Decent deals on Steins;Gate if you haven't bought/played them. 0 for those who really enjoyed the original and
you can tolerate 30 hours of a self-loathing Okabe

Probably in for Oxenfree.

Both of those games are awful to be honest.
Truth.

Anywho, how's the Ys series? I've heard good things. Which one can I start with?
Ys is a great series. The only one on sale right now is Celceta, which isn't my favourite, but it's still a pretty fun little game. The best ones are Oath in Felghana and Origin.

How is Slain?

Is it a Metroidvania-style game?

If I liked Axiom Verge, would I like this?
It's not Metroidvania: it's far closer to Classicvania, with a bit of Ghouls N Ghosts. It's a great game on its own though.

How is Final Fantasy Type-0? I've been on the fence for that game for a long time. I'm a fan of FF, but not sure how this is + I'm burning a backlog. What say ye, GAF?
100% avoid. It's honestly one of my most hated games ever, and I played it for free (borrowed my friend's).

Why isn't Dragon's Crown on PS4? So lame.
Because it's not a PS4 game...?

I was going to get Thumper on the Switch but I guess I might as well get it on the PS4 instead with the sale. If I ever get a PSVR, it'll be nice to have the game for that too.
 
I see, thanks. I want to pick up both FF8 and FF9 but I'm hoping Square can one day port them, with all the added features of FF7 PS4, onto the PS4.

I think the PC versions of VIII and IX have those improvements. But yeah, a PS4 port of those seems like such a no-brainer I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.
