thanks, think i'll bite. always liked how battlefield took a semi-realistic approach to their campaigns while cod goes bat shit crazy over the top. i appreciate both approaches just never got around to buying bf4 since it was a broken mess. but 5 bucks is hard to pass up. i just spent 20 on advanced warfare for just the single player. waiting on blops 3 (my favorite campaigns of all shooters, but here bad things about 3) to hit 20 next.

worth it even without the dlc? heard the last one is kind of an epilogue of sorts?
Im actually not a fan of the campaigns, I wish they didnt make them and put more focus on the amazing multi. I only just played it so i could finally delete the ~70gb off my hdd. BF3s was actually not that bad, a few really good missions. BF4 though was lame, the conflict was pretty hollow and and it just kind of... ends.

Agree with this. Felt a little grindy to me. Didn't finish it, but may one day. I've seen my sons play through and beat it multiple times. They loved it, and still sometimes play it. They're 15 and 11. I know my oldest really enjoyed the previous games. They both liked First Light as well.
The world does seem a little lifeless, but it's fun traversing it. And it's cool seeing the real-world landmarks since I've been to Seattle a couple of times.
At this price--unless you're really hurting for money--it's an easy buy.

Just as a heads up, they never fixed the save bug. So back it up often otherwise you might try to load up a saved game only to be met with ♫ Turn around ♫. Sucks having to start over again when you're already 5 hours in.

Other than it being the typical weekend of the month to expect one... not yet. I just poked around the site and didn't see anything that would indicate a flash sale. I'm still hopeful though.
That's the reason I hated BF4 when it launched. It's STILL not patched though? Fuck off, EA.
That depends. Which do you like more? Victorian Era London or pirates? I adored Syndicate. IMO, it's the best in the series. Black Flag isn't much of an AC game but it's the best damn pirate game out there next to AC Rogue (which is the same game but a Templar and in NY).

The time they usually put the flash sale up is around 3pm-4pm est.
truthfully, the assasin stuff was always my least favorite part of these games, it was all the other shit that I really got a kick out of it
Black Flag it is

So no flash sale this week huh?
Seems unlikely at this point.

Doesn't seem like it.
Just know that the on foot combat is awful, and there's a ton of it
I loved it. It's a fun ass game with some cool ideas.
Absolutely worth $10. The way the game changes in the second half is pretty sweet.
The on-foot controls and missions in general are just dire. All the ship/pirate stuff is so god damned good, though. It's 50/50 frustration and bliss.

Yup. I don't want to come off as a Syndicate shill in this thread, but the improvements made in that game easily place it above prior entries.
As fun as the ship-to-ship combat is, it's just not worth slogging through Black Flag's shitty missions to play them (and if ship combat's your thing, AC Rogue and games like Rebel Galaxy arguably do it better, with far less/zero tailing missions).
I think a few others have asked it, but - how did Need for Speed 2015 wind up panning out? Is it worth getting for a casual racing fan? Anything in it I wouldn't get from already owning The Crew and Driveclub?

Picked up Inquisition - for $8 I couldn't say no.
Still playing through Blood and Wine, so not sure when I'll get to it, but it's there when I do.

Some decent prices but overall nothing for me
Same here, not interested in any of those games.

There was an update months ago. I hadn't noticed that sound issue but really, it's the Megaman games, they run fine from what I played.
It's a good Orc Slaying Simulator.
That's about the most positive thing people would ever say about it nowadays.

Tales of zestiria or destiny taken king?

Which would unprefer
A jrpg with good gameplay but generic anime themes
Or a shootet that has an online focus

Tomb Raider, The Order, BF4 and BFH for ~$20. Don't mind if I do

Does buying a PS+ subscription using wallet funds count towards the "Spend $100"?
Was in the same boat, so I used metacritic as the deciding factor. Nfs is in the 60s, Rivals in the 80s. Made the choice easy.
Also picked up BF4, man the audio in that game is aces. Every shot fired packs some serious punch.

Bought Omega Quintet for $5.99.
I mean at that price, you can't possibly go wrong, right?

thanks for the warning. i was afraid of that. i haven't started playing it yet but when i do i will quicksave often (at least i presume that is what you mean by back it up often).

Yes, as long as you aren't using PS Plus cards you buy in the store...If you use your wallet or PSN Gift cards, it will count

Ugh, seriously? I've heard a lot of bad things about it but most people said that the gameplay is fun. So, I at least should be able to enjoy that aspect of it, right?
toythatkills

I barely even got to the gameplay. The opening hour of the game is Metal Gear Solid-like in how long it spends in cut-scenes that could take fifteen seconds, and between those and the parts in which I did actually take control the game made me feel so fucking uncomfortable that I ended up just deleting it.
If you're into this kind of thing then you'll probably get more enjoyment from it, but I'm a grown man and was looking for an RPG and I couldn't overlook how gross it is outside of the RPG mechanics.

Trackmania turbo when thst goes on sale
Psn has a wishlist function dontcha know~
Yes anything you buy from us psn will count towards the promo
U spent usd 50 for a year of plus? Usd 50 to go~
Congrats on wasting usd 20 on mediocre games :vTomb Raider, The Order, BF4 and BFH for ~$20. Don't mind if I do
Cool, thanks. I usually bought ps+ cards on sale but lacking money when they were going for $40 a couple times.

PS+ is available for $40 so often that I'm not sure it's worth paying $50 for it in order to get a $15 credit on a $100 spend.
confirming this, I bought 2 years of plus (99.98) and the rep said I had to buy more.
I had already bought the ps 50 cards off ebay for 36 bucks, so after the credit, it will come to about 30 bucks a year for plus; as good as the black friday deal years back.

Okay, that sounds pretty bad. I'm okay with fan service to a point, but we'll see how this turns out.
