PSN Holiday Sale (NA) Week 2

I did some quick googling, doesn't look like Digital Foundry or anyone did a comparison of the two versions. I'd just be curious why you'd pick it up in the first place if you've already played it on PC, as far as I know that version isn't limited to 30 fps.

I have not played it on PC, any friends who would co-op with me have already done so - and cannot stop screaming praises of this game.

My only computer is a MBP, so the PC version is non-starter for me.

ETA: But thank you, didn't think to check DF, I just stuck with professor Google which was coming up largely empty - except for articles about the consoles running at 30 fps to accommodate local co-op.
 
Fuck.

Is ESO online worth it or not for 24 bucks?

I really really want to get into an MMO right now, and mmorpg says its the best mmo of 2015.

Or should I finally try out FF14? I have the PS4 version, I have just never tried it.
 
Is the Wild Run expansion or Season Pass discounted, or just the base game?

Just looks like the base game unfortunately. Wild Run is still ringing up at 24.99.

Ah okay, yeah that makes sense. I'd go with the cheaper version if everything else is equal.

FFXIV: ARR and its expansion are better. Unless you don't like the FF universe.
 
Think I'm going to go with:

Armored Core
Brandish
Shadow Tower

That Star Wars Bundle from GameDealDaily is tempting too though I remember hating Bounty Hunter when I played it on the GameCube.

I just double dipped on the Talos Principle when BestBuy had it on sale recently. It's a fantastic game but the PS4 has some really annoying frame rate issues.

I bought Galak-Z at launch and really didn't care for how the progression was structured. Jamestown+ is great and has a ton of content, can't recommend enough.
 
Some of you people are ridiculously entitled. Just how cheap does something have to be for you to be willing to support the people who work hard on your entertainment? You can't afford lunch? I'm starting to believe deep discounts on digital and programs like ps plus really are devaluing the software industry. Not sure if you guys realize this but if you keep waiting for even deeper discounts or for games to go free (talkin' about mobile here, too) then there won't be anyone to make cool games... and I've also been spoiled rotten by Vita cross-buy, I'll admit. But you can't be too bitter when a game isn't, it's kind of unprecedented to begin with and it always makes me wonder how the Vita "has no games"... it has so many games, and you can play on PS4 at home on Vita on the go, picking up where you left off for no extra charge. That's pretty great. As a PS4/Vita owner and a Wii U/3DS owner I can truly say I get far more entertainment, value and enjoyment from the former pair. Ahem. /rant

I'm grabbing:

The Talos Principle
Curses n Chaos
Galak-Z
Jamestown+
Rock Brothers DX

Considering Divinity OS, depends on if my friend wants to get in on it too. Already a lot of games on that list and I'm still elbows-deep in Fallout 4 and eyeballs-deep in my Gear VR.

Soap box approved!

I don't think Sony gets enough credit for cross-buy. People were jerking off about xbox 360 backwards compat but nobody ever says anything about Cross-buy (Or shareplay for that matter) I have played so many games across PS3/Vita/PS4 and only paid for one copy of it (Or free off PS+).
 
Anyone who picked up Shadow Tower and wants to play it on a Vita with somewhat modern controls, this is how I set mine up:

Attack buttons:

L1= Square
R1=Triangle

(L1 is the left hand, R1 is the right hand)

Movement and camera:

Left thumbstick up= Pad up
Left thumbstick down= Pad down
Left thumbstick left= L1
Left thumbstick right= R1
Right thumbstick up= L2
Right thumbstick down= R2
Right thumbstick left= Pad left
Right thumbstick right= Pad right

You also have to disable the rear touchscreen (simply touch the areas that are assigned to buttons and click "do not use"

I left the other two buttons (cross and circle) as default.
 
Definitely picking up Rock Boshers and Shadow Tower.
Depending on what the sale price winds up being, I might pick up TorqueL. Looks kinda neat
 
So I played five minutes of Armored Core and HOLY SHIT THESE CONTROLS ARE TERRIBLE.

It's funny how From's title card was exactly the same as now.

GIF still applies even when list is out

Edit: Unless you don't have Guilty Gear, you should definitely get that
 
$10 for the PS3 version of The Last Of Us?

Sorry, not waiting to get a PS4, I'm jumping as is :lol

(also, this was as good as any moment to renew my PS+ sub.)
 
Wait....so these arent the up-res versions like Twisted Metal and War of the Monsters that came out last week?

They are the PS3 versions, the PS2 Classics ones. The PS4 versions are exclusive to the Battlefront PS4 bundle for now, though codes are floating around at the moment, and they'll likely release on PSN in the next month or so.
 
Ubi ever fix tetris on the ps4?

I nearly impulse bought it. I mean, it's Tetris, how could it go wrong? Then checked for reviews and read that the PS4 version suffers crippling slowdown. How in fuck's name is such a thing possible?

I don't know firsthand but Ubisoft patched the game during the summer so this may be fixed!
 
Jesus did Battlefront just bomb? I'd be pissed if I bought the game at launch if they are basically selling the game with season pass for 30 bucks more.

Somewhat but EA has to capitalize on the movie's hype/momentum right now. It makes perfect sense that it would go on sale this week. The game plus DLC after the 20% off coupon is a pretty good deal.

There's a coupon?

Also, it looks like the Ultimate Edition isn't even being sold in Canada... oh well, that makes the decision easier. lol

Value of games in general seems a lot more fluid than it was in the past, a price drop like this isn't necessary indicative of a game bombing. It's buyer beware when you buy at launch so I hope people are actually playing these games when they buy them and not just throwing them on their backlog.

Yep, the era of buying day 1 just to sit on it is over. If you pay 60 bucks on release day and you ain't poppin' that mother in as soon as you get home and cruising through it in a week or two, you're a sucker.
