Theyre the same game
It al comes down to which system u play more on
It's more of a matter of wasting time than money. IMO it's not worth your time.
Is it expensive or hard to put on?

2TB drives that fit into the PS4 normally seem to be inbetween $75 to $100.
And replacing it is really easy on PS4. It's right underneath the top cover.
If I managed to change the HDD, anybody can. Open lid, unscrew one screw, replace HDD, screw back on, close lid. 2 minutes if you are as incompetent with electronics as I am.
Mordor and AC: S play fairly similarly. Both are great but I wouldn't get them both unless you want burnout. If you're picking one of the two go with Mordor.

Remember that there's pretty much a guaranteed flash sale this coming Friday as well.
Thank you!
Last question is hardline or battlefield 4 better? They are so cheap and about the same price
Edit: are we thinking the flash sale might be better than this??
For SP, go Hardline. For Multiplayer, go 4.
Anyone have any opinions on MGS V as someone who knows next to nothing about the franchise?
I wouldn't really care about the story or not understanding it to be honest, i hear good things about the gameplay in regards to being able to play it stealthily but also going in guns blazing as well if you so choose.
Also, does the $15 credit also include PS+ subs? I think i need to re-up next month anyway

Was AC unity ever fixed to not be a lagging bug fest? I grabbed syndicate and loved black flag, but skipped unity

Rayman legends
Megaman legacy off the top of my head
The only list those games you mentioned should be on is the 'you seriously want to spenf money on these games?' List
Though to be fair more doors is a good orc slaying simulator
I mean I hear they are good games, and I wouldn't necessarily buy them as you mentioned for regular price
But these are great prices
Good and cheap

Eh id say ur money is best spent else where
A cheap game need not necessarily be good
For example if u want a good fps single player campaign there is doom 2016
Yeah it isnt on sale but u can combine it with this promo to save off a little for future purchases
MGS V was the first and only MGS game I ever played.
Story is horrid, after the first few cutscenes, I just skipped the rest.
Gameplay is awesome. I really enjoyed the way you can approach missions from so many angles - choosing a starting point, companion (horse, dog, sniper, mech), stealth or guns blazing, do side objectives or not...
Side missions are plenty fun as well, but tend to get too repetitive.
However, the game is just way too long, and by the time I finished about half (with a big boss fight), I was so tired of it, and the missions in the next part tend to become very repetitive, so I gave up.
But overall, I strongly recommend it as a MGS noob, one of the best open world games I've played.

MGS5 is a great third person shooter with a ton of content, but a light story. I think it's a positive that you don't care about the series' story. Cutscenes are few, but to fans they're nonsensical and out of character. To someone who doesn't care I imagine they're just cutscenes that show cool shit.
80% of the game is third person shooting/stealth and the other 20% is building your base by sending out soldiers on missions and unlocking new weapons/gear and upgrading old ones.
I bought it day one and still hop on to play it every other day or so for a bit. It's just really fun.

I'd go BF4. It's got great mulitplayer. Single player is fine.
TR is good... feels like an Uncharted take on TR, but lacks any significant tombs to raid and just misses the mark in a couple ways [some mechanics, like crafting, also feel completely unfinished like they ran out of time].
Dragon Age Inq should be a great game, but they overdid the collectables and crafting so it feels like you're clicking right stick every 3 seconds to 'pulse' to see herbs and shit, and so instead of just going 100 feet to your destination you're constantly zigzagging around picking up crap you don't even know if you need.
Combat is also borked and you end up just spamming x to attack. There are mechanics to set up your team, but as soon as battle starts they tend to break formation so it's pointless to waste time setting anything up. It's a big step back from Origins combat imo.
You'd like either, I think, but go with Rivals.
Rivals is sort of a mashup of Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted (I've plat'd all 3). You have all the 'weapons' and race styles of HP, but in an open world very similar to MW. It's a solid game, and you will definitely have your fill of police car chases.
I haven't played much of NFS yet, but I really like it too.
It's not really vague if you just assume it'll be on that day, and it's a bonus if you get it early. Generally, they wait till last minute, people freak out for no reason, and then everything shows up on time.
The Order is short, and I'd say it's well worth the time invested. At this price, it's an easy pickup despite it's shortcomings.
Mordor is worth playing at that price for the nemesis system alone, if you like 'assassination' type missions in games in general.
If so, you should get AC Rogue. It's the same game but you play as a Templar instead and it's in New York/Northern America.

looking for some feedback.
I already picked up Rainbow Six Siege, Black Flag, and NFS so I've spent about $50.
I would like to get to $100, between this sale, -maybe- any sales next week [bought tuesday before promo ends], and, worst case, full price games on my wishlist.
from this sale I'm considering
Battlefield Hardline $5
Destiny TK $30 (don't know if i have the time for this)
Alien Isolation $11 (played the first little bit til alien showed up, sold because i wasn't in love, but kind of want to give it another chance based on the love it gets)
Omega Quintet - $4... it's $4.
Lego Marvel Vita - $5 -- have this on ps4, is vita version different to justify?
Child of Light vita - $4.5
is there anything above I should just plain out remove and not get? is isolation worth another shot for $11?
i also could grab stuff on sale next week.
and then there are some full price games i could always get -- severed, risk of rain, etc -- but buying games full price to qualify for $15 off isn't really my thing, since i likely won't get to them for awhile.

Spent a hunnet, when do I see my fiteen?
The Lego games on Vita/3DS are cut-down versions of the regular games - among other things, there's no open world. Since the games get pretty cheap on other platforms, that might not be the best idea.

hey guys sony wont let me add my credit card. if i use prepaid cards from amazon to make up the $100 would i still get the $15 back?
!!!!PSA!!!! FOR THOSE CONSIDERING FALLOUT 4 !!!!PSA!!!!
If you don't mind physical, Meijer stores have the disc version of Fallout 4 ON SALE for $19.99 as of today!
...sorry for those of you that already bought it this week.
Other games for $20 as well, like AC Syndicate.
Also note the buy 1 get 1 10% off on game store cards and the $15 off Dualshock 4 deal. Great sale!
If you still haven't spent the $100 to get $15 back you could save another $5 by getting 2x $50 cards.
Yes, as long as you spend $100 in the store Sony doesn't care how the funds are added.

I had the same issue like a month ago, it solved itself magically yet keeps hitting random people all the time.
PSN cards will work fine since they add to your wallet first then get spent. I had to use them too before in order to buy things when Sony decided ALL my credit cards and PayPal was not good out of nowhere.

I think I'm gonna pick up BF4 (again), but I'm getting cold feet with Dragon Age Inquisition, Tomb Raider, and The Order 1886...
Picked up Akiba's Trip. So far I'm not sure if I like the combat (it feels heavy/slow but the stripping mechanic is fun). The localization is superb though, and I love the setting. The load times aren't so bad either.
Undecided if I should get Child of Light and La-Mulana since I own them on Steam already.

Of those I strongly recommend Tomb Raider. The other two will be on sale again and aren't all that great anyway. Well, DA is middling and The Order isn't worth your time.
having quite a bit of this double-dip dilemma
PS4 is plugged nicely to the big screen. PC has a more private comfort :/

Hardline is supposed to be pretty good, BF4 still has a bug that deletes your save. It happened to me twice.
Still, for less than $10 just buy both.
