Inside, Momodora, and Virginia are only a couple of hours each. Single sitting or weekend gamesI'm currently looking at INSIDE, Owlboy, Momodora, Virginia and Kero Blaster.
They all look great, but I don't think I'd have time for them all.

inside you can finish in one sitting and it's really good
Dusk Golem

If it means anything, INSIDE and Virginia, I love them both but they're both pretty short, INSIDE is only about 3-5 hours long, and Virginia only about 2-3 hours long. I would recommend them both easily, though!I'm currently looking at INSIDE, Owlboy, Momodora, Virginia and Kero Blaster.

Ive considered hitman several times but the fact the game is always online and who knows what will happen to the game when squenix drops it concerns me. They are not quite konami level but squenix commitment seems unlikely.

It's not always online, you can play offline (and now you can even save your unlocks, I believe)
Well that is good to hear. I see so many people gushing about INSIDE.
pretty much any LEGO game

You do realize it'll be several years before this happens, right?
It's been incredibly successful for them.
A second season is pretty much confirmed, and it's going to use the same executable, so the game is not going to go offline any time soon (even Absolution servers are still up to this day). They have also been improving the offline mode, I don't doubt we will see them patching it up for complete offline play if the servers close down one day.

No but it looks like they increase the amount spent needed for the next one to compensate. I bought Arkham Knight at the start of the sale but refunded it to buy the premium version. I didn't lose any cards but I didn't get any when I bought the premium this morning when I probably should have as it was $9.99.

I wasnt aware offline unlocks were possible now. Maybe I should play the whole series in my backlog first though.

I've gotten the same Holiday sale card all 4 days.
It was worse before the August election update when a few were unsolvable without outright guessing.
So what you're telling me is I should buy it when I get home from work tomorrow?
Does Berseria come out soon?
I would mention Nier, but it's not a JRPG and it doesn't have a release date.
fuck off, what? no thats...no. no.
Are all of them fixed? That shit puts me off the game completely.
well yes, except for what I just said >_>
Just bought Blazblue Chronophantasma for 9 euros. Last Blazblue(and fighting game in general)I played was Continuum Shift EX on vita and I sucked pretty bad at it. Mainly bought it for single player content (Story mode, abyss, arcade, etc) and some local with my siblings, 9 euros is quite a bit for me since I'm still only a poor student so I hope I won't regret it lol.
its very good. kinda short tho. well not that short, its like 6 hours long, more if youre into collectibles and shit.
Same card, singular? You know you can get 3 per day, right?
That list of games you liked is pretty varied, if you go into Ys open-minded (As in, not expecting to be turned off by some weaboo moe crap- because there's not really any of that present despite surface-level appearances) I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. They are some seriously quality games. I liken them to what SEGA's take on 2D Zelda would have looked like back in the day. Similar formula but faster paced and a bit harder.

I've just been voting and getting the one a day, and all of those 4 have been the same, how do you get the other 2?
Still holding strong at the top of my GOTY list, mechanically it's very solid and the atmosphere / world / art / soundtrack are essentially made for me.
1 for voting and 2 by viewing the discovery queue.
Crud, thought it was 1 for queue 1 for vote. Poot.
Go through the queue twice.
Merry Christmas GAF! Other than recovering from a stomach bug and chasing twin toddlers around the house it was a pretty fun day
Happy holidays everyone!
Nice giveaway, Bernardo's post made me want to get Hitman, lol.

I need opinions on
Gloria Victis
Planetary Annihilation
Castle Crashers(I loved the game on ps3 but I wonder how the community is for the game since I would like to coop with someone)

Hm...somewhere in between? I think it is worth it at this price, though. I'd say there is a good chance it winds up in my top 10 and I liked it better than Pony Island, as far as games that kind of mess with your expectations.
Now let me tell you about another game. Have you ever wanted to run really fast and jump through a waterfall hiding a cave opening over a beautiful green forest? Then Valley might be the game for you.

Aside from Final Fantasy, I Am Setsuna is the most recent, I think. The only other one coming to mind is The Last Remnant, which is years old.

I'd totally recommend The Long Dark, especially for only $10. As it stands, its pretty much just the sandbox mode and the Challenge mode which is basically the sandbox plus some kind of objective. I haven't played many other survival games so I can't say how similar it is to anything else, but the game has a definite sense of style and atmosphere that is top notch. What I appreciate most is how you don't really have any crazy zombies or hostile people in it- your survival is basically just surviving in the cold, the occassional wolf or bear attack and managing your hunger, fatigue, gear and so on. You'll probably die a ton early on in the sandbox mode but the permadeath is what makes that so much fun, especially when you get a good run going , surviving a little longer each time, exploring more of the environments. In the sandbox mode you definitely need to set little goals for yourself or else I could definitely see anyone getting bored pretty quick. The challenge mode gives you a little more focus, like trying to get to a mountaintop to fire a rescue flare in 2 days. And not having a map or compass makes navigating and exploring an actual challenge but also pretty rewarding.
The game has some rough edges and the developers have been working on the single player mode for a while now but what is there in the sandbox mode is pretty fun if you're into basically playing a game version of Survivorman

If you like those two games, try Rust and Ark. Online survival games with some of the best crafting mechanics in the genre. Highly addicting and a lot of good modded servers.
Sorry for the questions but how is Dark Siders? It's better than 2?
Subnautica is a fun exploring/building game. The story isn't much yet (although I haven't played since the last big update which supposedly added more). It's a fun game and worth the sale price.
Note that it is a dog performance wise. I have an i5 6600K/1060 GTX 6GB and it gets laggy once in a while. It is playable but not technically polished.
I really liked 2 as it happens, but the original is a good Zelda-like.
So Trails in the Sky was removed from psn? Is there a Steam group for people who own games removed from psn?
I really do NOT like Minecraft. I'm pretty new to these kind of games. It's actually Astroneer that finally made it click for me. I like it but, like I said, not much content yet. Definitely up for something more of a challenge but not crazy.
Guess a few more gaffer opinions wouldn't hurt.
I actually have tried them. Not my thing.
Both Trails in the Sky games are still up on NA PSN. Maybe a regional thing?
I'm two hours in and I find the game to be dreadfully dull. It's just a bunch of bad adventure game puzzles in an RPG Maker engine with a layer of "meta-ness" on top of it. v(o_o)vI'll add this to this post on this page. I recommend more of you checkout OneShot:

NitroRad (Video Review)
This game did release before Undertale, but this remake is coming after. I also will throw out there the original has stuck with me even these years later, so has my personal recommendation as well. It never got the traction it should of gotten back when it released the freeware version originally, hoping with the game now being over twice as long with a lot of new stuff it might finally get the attention it deserves
Maybe things take off once I solve this next puzzle? But I've been saying that to myself at every puzzle so far, and now I'm a couple minutes from being unable to return it and I've spent the last ten minutes re-searching every building for anything that could solve my current puzzle, and doing that fucking suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
The building is nothing like Minecraft. You scavenge to build a base and expand it. The main exploring is to find supplies to build better weapons and gear and eventually your bases. There are some nasty alien fish you need to fight (and collect).
The building part of the game is you finding the materials to add on to your base. Adding on is simply selecting the item and positioning it. It isn't block by block and you can't dig.
Long Dark probably has more replay-ability, while Subnautica is great.
Coming from a guy where minecraft puts me to sleep -.-
ARk/Rust is...typical of that genre.
