NA PSN Sale - VR+Rockstar+Anime

I recommend Pirate Warriors 3. Bought it for a similar price last year without knowing what One Piece was, and now it's one of my favorite series. Might have to buy the season pass.

I don't recommend Burning Blood for anything more than $20 tho
Yep. One Piece Pirate Warrior games are one of the top Musou games even if your not a fan of the anime the game is perfect for One Piece everything moulded together perfectly it's made for each other.. and also again your right about Burning Blood that game is terrible and a disappointment

I have never watched more than two minutes of One Piece and really don't care to ever watch/read it. But PW3 is one of the best musou games I've played.
 
Some clarification on the Sword Art stuff.

Hollow Fragment at $5 is a steal. The amount of content and gameplay systems are top notch. I put a ton of time in to the Vita version and the PS4 version has better graphics and uses the better translation. The really important thing here is that the gameplay is really, really deep and quite excellent.

Lost Song is ok but much simpler in execution than Hollow Fragment. You can fly but overall the combat loses a ton of nuance and is the worse for it.

I have not played Hollow Realization but intend to at some point in the future once I clear the backlog a little bit.
 
How is Hollow Fragment? I heard from the import thread that it was OK but I do remember hearing that the translation was a mess and the game could get repetitive.

Also what kind of flop anime sale from BAMCO without Zestiria? a mess.
 
What's Pinball like in VR? I just picked up that game and several tables on steam last month but haven't really played them yet. I wonder if it's too late to refund and pick this up instead for VR....?

I love it! To me it really does feel like having an actual pinball table in my living room, finally. Well, close enough.

I just googled it, from what I gather it doesn't have any Star wars or Marvel tables as yet? Any word on those coming? Because that would more or less drive me to double dip...

It's awesome - you really get a feel for the lay of the tables, where the ramps go and such, and as others have said, the minimal movement means it's clean and comfortable as can be. Highly recommended. Base set of tables is really good, but the Paranormal one in the Season Pass is one of my favourite tables in the series. The rest are pretty good too, to be fair, although I couldn't really get my head around BioLab.

As for the weird naming, I think it might be to do with DLC not working between the two games. Zen Pinball 2 tables work across PS3, PS4 and Vita versions which is awesome, but sticking with the Zen name for the VR game might have given the impression that would be the case here, which sadly it isn't.

In other news, any PSVR owner who ever plans on bringing out the headset in a social situation NEEDS Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes. Biggest hit with my crowd since Rock Band, although that does now mean I end up lugging my console and headset to any gaming get-together. Print out the manual for maximum shenanigans. Pro tip: don't staple it - it's far better to be able to dish out individual pages for optimal multitasking.
 
I feel I should point out that Battlefront comes with a VR mission, so if anyone with a PSVR might consider factoring that in their purchase decision.
 
What's the point of having project diva on sale when future tone exists. Nothing i don't already have oh well maybe next week.

I mean, at this point, I would never recommend any of the other released Project Diva games over Future Tone if one doesn't already have that. However, PDX does have the benefit of being more concert-focused in feel, so it's actually the game I'd probably most suggest buying at this point after Future Tone, due to it doing something a little different.

I'm still peeved hollow fragment on the vita got the short end of the stick and never got any retranslation update. But $5, fine. I might get the ps4 version too.
 
Anyone play Windlands?

The game looks innocent, but I imagine it's an absolutely bonkers feeling swinging around like that.

Is it decent?
 
How is 100 ft golf? I need something to fill my Mario gold void.

Does Bound here come with the VR mode included? Or Thumper for that matter?
Bound VR mode was a title update and Thumper was VR from launch, so yes to both I believe. Thumper is pretty much essential and Bound I thought was really beautiful and interesting, if a little wobbly in terms of control.

It's... okay. Better without VR though, fwiw. No sub for Mario or Hot Shots, though.

Another consideration is difficulty. I don't have the game yet but everything I've heard suggests Future Tone is significantly more difficult, so Diva X might be better for a first-timer.

At these prices, Hollow Fragment and Lost Song might just be in 'fuck it, why not?' territory for me. Though with the spring releases coming at us fast, I might not have time to play them till summer. They're not likely to get cheaper though. Unless they go PS+

Hmm, I don't know that I'd say that. Easy is still stupid easy so far as I'm concerned, medium is still about what it was before, and there's way more songs to choose from if certain ones are too hard for you.
 
Namco anime sale, no Jojo, what the fuck?

Sort of tempted to pick up Thumper, but I'm not going to play it right away and $4 isn't that big of a deal.
 
I would have liked for Job Simulater to have been on sale. It was the best demo I played but, like a lot of VR stuff, I hear it's super short (at 2 hours ish) and is too much at $40 CDN for me to spend while I have a backlog. The minute it's like even 20% off it'll be my excuse to grab it (even if $25 is more what I'd like to spend/feel the left I is worth).
 
How's Battlefront for $10? I'm not a huge multiplayer shooter guy so I'm not sure it'd have legs for me but how is it for a casual experience?
