You are in for a treat. It is the best one. Would you kindly do a LTTP for us when you finish it?

Ah, ok. I assumed it was part of the sale, but if it's just a price drop then I wonder if it'll get a price drop in the UK/EU too. I guess it makes sense with the GOTY edition on the way, but sense has never been a factor when it comes to our PSN pricing (for AAA games anyway).

I played the demo and didn't spend $3 on it.
It's good for about an hour and then you realise that it's actually not very good at all, you were just addicted to unlocking stuff but now that everything's unlocked you don't actually want to play the game.

Thats a good price for Sniper Elite 3.
I liked Gone Home and Dear Esther, but thought that Everybody's Gone To The Rapture was a frustratingly tedious slog. Jim Sterling's take on it was the best -- there's just nothing to be interested in or connect yourself to. You just wander from one place to the next and listen to a dull audio drama.
Wasn't it only like $11 and now $8? $4 isn't much of a loss plus if you bought two games in that Play promotion you got a 10% discount code for the whole month of September (a month that included a better flash sale than this one). Sounds like a fair trade to me.

To have never played BioShock is to be cursed. To play BioShock for the first time is a miraculous blessing. Games have never been the same.

Does anyone know if buying a year of PS+ counts towards that 'spend $100, get $15' deal? I canceled my subscription, but I'm thinking about signing back up.
It works, but make sure you buy it with wallet funds -- that is, don't add a PS+ card directly.

Awesome! Thanks!
Agree entirely. I spent $20 on it. I don't regret it but I don't think it's a good game. I spent the same on life is strange and one episode in I'm loving it. So I guess Until Dawn is gonna be during the Halloween sale? Was really hoping for that one.

...?
Oh, I read your post as "can't buy". Oops.
Huh, that is odd. Eh, just grab the free ones if you have those consoles, I guess. Might just be a store glitch.

huh...? It's letting you get them right? It won't actually charge.

no, see, you got the giant edition already, but you can buy the vanilla version.

I....see what you did there
Me too. Unfortunately it's pretty much impossible not to get the plot twist spoiled in 2015.

Everyone's Gone To The Rapture - $8 = Hellz YEAH!. Metro Redux - $12.50 = Oh so very much worth it. All the others I already owed except White Night, which I may still buy if I see/hear good things.

I was so ready to be disappointed and then that happened.
Must be saving the survival horror stuff for a Halloween Week Sale.
It has split screen and I had a ton of fun with it during a free weekend. It's similar to Split/Second if you've played that. There might be a demo that you can try.
its awesome

Haha, I bought the "console edition" for PS4 during a sale, so it should be marked as purchased. I don't think a "giant edition" exists on PS4.
I assume it's just some licensing glitch. Thankfully I remember buying it, because it actually lets me put it in the cart.

Had to pick up Everybody's Gone To The Rapture for $8.
Also Don't Starve is awesome and well worth the $4.50 if you don't already have it!

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Meh this sale is a no go for me since I already own most of those PS Vita titles on sale.
Yeah, I already played it on PSP via retail copy when I was in high school, & while I got a free copy on Steam, I miss the portability and having an actual controller. I'm not really a PC gamer since I tend to forget that I have games on PC because I get distracted by the internet.
Oh, & for those wondering about htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary: eeeehhhhhhhh, it's rather slow & requires you to be rather precise at times. For about $5, it's alright, but I stopped playing it when I was aiming for a trophy on a slow auto-scrolling stage & you have to wait until the very damn end to attempt to get said trophy.
Still wondering about Black Rock Shooter. All I know is it's based on a redesign of Miku for a song of the same name.

Care to share some impressions after you play it? I'm still on the fence about getting that or ZHP.
Yeah I got Everybody's Gone to The Rapture for full price too. I don't mind supporting the developer but I certainly didn't care for the game.
I feel like if you are going to build a game like that you need to have every house open, and every new area should contain some unique and interesting content. If I bother to check every possible entrance to a house, it's frustrating if either all the doors are locked or I get inside and find nothing of interest or value. With such a slow movement speed it's hard not to feel penalized for exploring, particularly when it doesn't yield anything.
Not a glitch. The PS3 version at least is tied with both versions of the game. I got the PS4 version for free on PS+ and when the PS3 version launched, it came free for me.
And there is a giants edition to PS4 as well, it's called: Don't Starve: Console Edition + Reign of Giants Expansion

No Corpse Party sale is surprising. Was hoping to get the previous games before buying the new one. Will wait till Halloween for hopefully another sale.

May have to double dip on Metro Redux. Already have it for PC.
Nice. Split second was pretty fun.
Thanks for answering both of you. I'll get it now, since I think this game won't ever enter PS+.

Metro is absolutely worth it. Great little game.
Will probably get everybody gone to the rapture for 8 bucks, but I'm spending so much already in the next couple months with all the big game retail releases lol.
