Woohooo firewatch on sale finally and thumper . Happy me 😊😊😊

 

[Omegabalmung9]

Would of been awesome if they added a PS+ discount also but I'll probably be getting Life is Strange, Banner Saga 2 and Oxenfree.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Abzu

How is it, GAF?

Did you like Journey? It's a lot like that.

That said, I really enjoyed the two hours or so it took to get through it. It's gorgeous, and Austin Wintory's OST is brilliant.

 

[FTF]

Nice, getting and playing Inside asap.

 

[Demoskinos]

Meh, nothing here worth my time right now. Dishonored is slightly tempting but way too much on my plate already.

 

[dugdug]

Was waiting for $20 on The Witness, but, that'll do.

 

[ElephantEyelash]

Isn't Firewatch a couple bucks cheaper on the XBL version of this sale? Does anyone know if the performance differs greatly between the two versions?

 

[Goldenroad]

I need to play INSIDE, and would like to play Firewatch, but I've got such a backlog. Will probably just go with INSIDE, but we'll see how I'm feeling.

 

[Gator86]

Will probably pick up Inside and Firewatch. I think these are the best prices on both.

 

[Falchion]

Wish Firewatch and Abzu were $10. I've got enough games for now though so I'll hold off.

 

[Kaiken]

For the puzzle people that said The Witness was too steep in price. Do yourself a favor now! I wish I can erase my brain and play through it again.

 

[GeoramA]

Get Inside if you haven't yet. Seriously, amazing game.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I loved Journey, so thats a high bar. Does it actually meet it?

Edit: Wrong game! Oops!

 

[3rdamention]

There is that sale on Inside and Firewatch everyone was wanting/predicting.



Awesome News, I haven't purchased either.

 

[AllBusinessJr]

Interested in Inside, Firewatch and The Witness, but my black Friday backlog looms large. Will wait for further reductions in price.

 

[robotrock]

I don't think it's as cool as Journey is. Journey had that whole seamless online multiplayer thing. This doesn't have anything like that.

It's still great. Absolutely worth playing if you loved Journey.

 

[brickarts295]

Someone wants to recommend me Oxenfree? Does it have good plot twist, if so I'm down.
I'm already getting Inside and Firewatch.

 

[Callibretto]

is the witness purely a puzzle game or is there some kind of narrative that push you to keep playing?

if I never end up beating Talos Principle, would I like this game? I do enjoy Talos Principle, but the narrative in that game is so vague and abstract, it didn't really motivate me to keep playing the game to the end. maybe I'll beat it sometime, but it's not a priority in my backlog and I fear Witness will be the same.

 

[Black Republican]

finally gonna buy The Witness and Firewatch

 

[Toki767]

This sale only goes until Saturday morning...right before PSX kicks off. So I'd say prepare for another sale then.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

$24 Rez Infinite

What are you waiting for people???

For it to be 20 dollars less.

Awesome

Thanks!

I'm probably about halfway through the Witness, and all I do is look for the next puzzle. I haven't played it in a while now, It has some story elements that you pretty much discover along your puzzle journey, but nothing so far that has been memorable for me. Honestly, being a couple of months away from playing it (I will dive back in now with a PS4Pro), I dont remember a single thing about it story wise. I would say, so far in my experience, the Witness is pretty abstract as well when it comes to story.

 

[Weebos]

Probably in for Firewatch and Inside, both are still a little more than I'd like, but I want to check them out before the GOTY discussions begin in earnest.

 

[Nightmare452]

I wonder if Sony has additional plans for Uncharted 4 and that is why it hasn't been on sale. Its odd seeing it be neglected from all these deals, even the game awards one, were UC4 is a mainstay.

Oh I loved Talos Principle. But the witness has superior polish. I loved the story in talos, especially just reading the logs

Witness has no story. At all. But it doesn't need one. The enjoyment is figuring out the puzzles. They aren't obvious like talos principle but they are learned. If u like puzzle games, u have no excuse not to buy the witness

I will say, I really enjoyed exploring in the witness. I loved the different areas and finding secrets and optical illusions/perspective images. This is its strength and it stays with you

There are video files you find but they are actually not related to the game. More philosophical (some say pretentious)

 

[wenis]

Do you not own Rocket League yet?

Do you like fun?

BUY IT

I'd like to if i didnt already claim it when it was free.

 

[TheMissingLink]

Firewatch is $2 cheaper on Xbox during their sale...guess I'm going there.

Nothing for this sale! But that's okay, I have PLENTY from Black Friday

 

[Verelios]

Where are the Vita games?

#KazLaugh

 

[pager99]

No uncharted 4 wtf

 

[Tjamato88]

Definitely getting Inside with my $10 coupon from Sony Rewards.

 

[TimeEffect]

Thumper and Inside are high on my list. But the Canadian discount sucks.

Do u guys think they will go on sale/for cheaper soon enough?

 

[dickroach]

$24 Rez Infinite

What are you waiting for people???

physical version from iam8bit :\



going in for Abzu. just played Journey for the first time a couple of weeks ago and loved it.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Mortal Kombat XL-$23.99

that's a good price, tempted

 

[mauaus]

Dishonored 2 with the 20% discount, worth it at $32?

 

[robotrock]

Just noticed Thumper is $16 too. Another gem.

Also, iam8bit seems to think they'll be able to ship the Rez physical copies out on Monday.

 

[Schlorgan]

So does this mean that Sony games will be winning?

Spoiler

/S

 

[AllBusinessJr]

Dishonored 2 with the 20% discount, worth it at $32?

Absolutely.

 

[1upsuper]

Woo, finally gonna bite on The Witness.

 

[antibolo]

Do you not own Rocket League yet?

Do you like fun?

BUY IT

Not that fun if you don't care about online multiplayer.

 

[moltonasty]

Hmmm thinking of finally jumping in on KoF XIV, but I feel like I won't even have time to play it.

 

[Indelible]

I might have to get Inside at that price, seems about right.

 

[LordofPwn]

yes i knew to wait. Inside, Oxenfree, and Hyperlight Drifter will be mine! just got a Best buy rewards certificate too. PSN card here i come

 

[antibolo]

Ugh, sales that are less than 33% off in Canada are really not sales at all, since the resulting price is still higher than the true regular price...

 

[jabberwocker]

Dishonored 2 with the 20% discount, worth it at $32?

Is there another discount that is out there that I am missing? Where does the 20% come from?

 

[Cathcart]

If you haven't played the witcher 3, buy it now. I bought it on Black Friday and I can't put t down. Won't even touch final fantasy xv

You made the right choice.

 

[Slayven]

Talk me into Titanfall. I need a shooter and Infinite Warfare is not doing it for me

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Do you not own Rocket League yet?

Do you like fun?

BUY IT

1. NO

2. YES

3. NO

 

[FairXchange]

Nice, grabbed The Witness finally.
