Missed it, weird how this one is so active and the EU one isn't.
I'm about to indulge gonna pick up
Braid
Tokyo Jungle
Super Star Dust
CTR
Red Faction 2
Tales of Monkey Island
Is Crash Team Racing worth it? I remember it being highly regarded when it came out..... but I might drop it since I already have Sonic and All stars
Hows RF 2, I never played the OG ones but I love volitions Saints Row games and the geo mod is intriguing any help/ input would be appreciated

I really wish this crash team racing sale was part of some clever prehype of a new CTR to be announced at E3. My inner kart racer fanboy really wishes for a Sumo developed Crash Team Racing.

Did Tokyo Jungle (since everyone seems to be saying good things about it), PvZ (lost count now of how many versions of this game I own), Braid (not sure why -- I'm fairly certain I won't care for it), Retro City Rampage (though I really want the 3DS version), and the Back to the Future bundle (which I already own on Steam, but I figure my wife will enjoy playing it on our HDTV).
For $5, not a bad haul. Hope Sony does this as a regular thing.

So.. I guess I would be making a pretty cheap bet by buying the Crash/Spyro games with only a Vita / Future PS4? If I knew for sure they'd never become playable I wouldn't buy them.

Downloaded all the Crash games (should have just done 3 and Kart, don't like playing with D-pad) and have a question. I installed the games but the install license or whatever still shows up separately from the game on the XMB and won't go away. If I go to delete it says it will delete the installed game too. How do I get rid of those.
Sam & Max followed by BttF. Keep in mind that this is actually Season 3 and it's highly recommended to play the previous two seasons, available on other platforms.

My haul:
Tokyo Jungle (I did it for you, GAF)
Gotham City Imposters
Jurassic Park: The Game (don't care if it sucks, it was $0.99)
Back to the Future
Tales of Monkey Island
Really wish we would have gotten the EU sale, as I just bought a PS3 for Persona 5 and would have loved to pick up Ni No Kuni and Tales of Xillia. PS+ and this sale are treating me good, though.
I downloaded the demo at 4:30 AM (I'm Central Time), and got into a match immediately. I was surprised. Might have been other demo users, but there were a few high-leveled people in the lobby.

You can delete them, the game stays. (I have no clue why there's a warning saying otherwise)
Been playing BttF since this sale started and am up to Episode 4. Thus far, I would pick Monkey Island ahead of it(only played half of the season on PC years ago). BttF is alright, but a pretty weak adventure game and a somewhat bland continuation of the movie franchise, though many would disagree I think. I do hear it ends really well, but I've been liking it slightly less each chapter. Might feel differently after the last two conclude though if it picks back up.
Have not tried SaM yet, but I bought all four seasons during this sale. I mean really, it's less than $5 for all of them.
JP sounds like it is worth a buck just to see how awful it is given how reviled it was from reviews and players when it released. I am actually excited to experience it for that reason alone at this price.

I can now finally weigh in on the debate.
Spyro 3 > Gex 2.

What time is it?
After loving the original, I thought RF2 was disappointing. Geomod is more of neat gimmick in the first two games than in the later Red Factions. RF2's campaign was also incredibly short if my memory serves.

Spyro 2 or 3? Been wracking my brain over this. Can only get one.
Also, in regards to ashtar, the first red faction is, by far, the better game! The geomod tech, story and gameplay is fully realised. So much better than the half baked sequel in my opinion.

Why can't I get CTR to install?

Scroll down in your game list. It should be there. I wondered the same thing because the install bubble would'nt delete like when you install other games, but the game should be there in your list when scroll down.

couldn't decide on an adventure game ( particularly because I've tried some Telltale demos and abhor them. telltale gameplay shits on adventure genre imo, but that's for another thread)
got Crash 2 and Tokyo Jungle. Think I'm good.

Just bought five games for a little over $5 with tax. And now I probably won't play any of these for months. Gives me steam sales vibes

Just bought red faction 2 - loved the original, have wanted to pick up the sequel. I'm a physical copy type of person on console, but I've been curious how well the ps2 classics work - $.99 was too good to pass up.

I just got 20 games. In addition to downloading 6 free games cause of ps plus. 26 games in one day... idk how I'll get around to playing all these haha
is there no way to play with crash on the analog sticks? My hand cramps up after about 1 level using the dpad
Yeah I know, I hate that shit. I just downloaded Crash 2 & 3 today and it' a pain.
Crash 3 supports it. Crash 2... I dunno, best hope is probably getting a controller with a D-Pad you like I guess. DS4s are PS1 game compatible as I recall so there's that.
Yeah Crash 2 definitely does not as that's the one I played.

So I ended up getting not just Tokyo Jungle like I planned, but also all 4 Crash games and all 3 Spyro games.

When Vikings attack! is actually a fun game, its got a nice colorful single player mode that's pretty much you running around gathering townspeople ala wonderful101 and chunking(throwing) stuff you find around the city at invading vikings who ..I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit with its boss battles and special characters, its got a lot of "levels" as well, its a nice chill game between the brutal tokyo jungle playthroughs..don't sleep.

This sale is the first time I've gone into the PS3's store in a long time. It's just awful. Everything is slow as molasses.
Kind of funny as Crash 2 came just after the Analog Controller hit.
But adoption of that initially was kind of crappy, and it wasn't uncommon to just remap the D-Pad to it more or less, it's part of why Gex aged badly. I don't think I even saw the Analog Controller THAT often, it just got replaced by the DualShock instead.
Yeah, the first iteration was terrible, the second was actually really good. This is... maybe not as bad as the first, but absolutely inferior to the second. I guess they wanted the PS3/PS4 to share the store disregarding that you should stick with what works, especially if your new thing runs like crap on the old system. But I guess people have gotten infuriatingly tolerant of subpar performance in everything.

Ive gotten used to it, you can also use your browser, its definitely built for ps4, its very fast and smooth on that console.

I wasn't really expecting the level design of Tokyo Jungle to be what it is... I thought it was a more open game.

I never played but isn't survival more open?

Yeah on PS4 it's awesome. The PS3 one though... There was sometimes 2-3 seconds worth of delay between pressing a button and having it register.

i have a noob-ish question. if i buy stuff through the ps3 can i download and play on the psp (for the games compatible with the psp)?
Yes you can transfer your content over via USB if you want to, or you can buy on the PS3 and download on the PSP.
Sony's been weird and kind of idiotic with their branding unification efforts. See also the blue bars on PS3 games and the fact the disc art styles are exactly the same. They might be backpedaling from that if some of the recently released covers aren't out of date, but it seems absolutely insane to do that if they're not actually fully unified platforms like iOS hardware.
