So what is up with Neon Chrome? It was $4.49 this morning, and now it's showing up as $14.99? This error is going to be fixed before the Flash sale is over right?

I'm glad I double dipped on this (I'd already bought the PC version for full price when it came out)

The Technomancer is a good price for those wanting a classic gritty Mass Effect vibe.

I've had it since September when they finally dropped it to $40 on Best Buy. I didn't feel guilty buying it anymore because of the console tax.
If I knew I was gonna sink 200 hours in to it and counting I would have pre-ordered it

Bought Mars and Aliens pinball tables, zeno raid, qube, and skyforce. Pretty happy for the price, though I didn't want to spend anything after spending so much on golden week. Kind of glad I already own a lot of the stuff [even at higher prices] just so I didn't spend even more.
There's a lot of other great stuff I already own. Passing on stuff over $10 even if I want it due to Golden Week.
I'm really curious if anyone has played There Came an Echo? I've read reviews that seem to suggest it's cool-ish but kinda more like a tech demo... but conceptually [a tactical game with voice commands] I really want it to be great. Has anyone loved it?

You dont pay taxes on US PSN.
Which is what makes waiting for an Overwatch sale a bitch because its my prefered method of purchasing games.
Yeah. If you liked Second Son, you'll enjoy First Light.

Canadian here, so I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure PSN started charging state tax a month or two ago. I remember there being a big thread about it.

In some US states, they might be.
I bought The Order 1886 for $4 bucks and I was charged $0.00 of Tax.

Doesn't affect us Canadians as far I know, and I've bought a few games since then tax-free

Didn't we use to have taxes back in 2008-2010? I vaguely remember that being the case.

FINALLY picked up No Man's Sky on this sale, for the HDR and updates.
It looks gorgeous and I've been playing the hell out of it for probably 10 hours total since yesterday. I love it, really blown away. I'm glad I'm experiencing it with HDR and whatever improvements, but I regret giving the cold shoulder to it way back when.
Other than that, I picked up Sky Force since I've been wanting it for awhile, and it's one of the few things I didn't already own. Great little shmup with nice looks, personality and some padded play value.

It runs fine, its a 2d indie game. It's pretty fun though, but im no good at it.
Didn't have a sony console back then so I wouldn't know.
Cool looking forward to playing it

Anyone played Xcom 2 on PS4? Deluxe is 60% off.. seems like a good time to finally get it but heard mixed things about it when tbe game first launched.
It is fun and pretty difficult, I think it is much better co-op.

Axiom Verge, SOMA, or Assault Android Cactus? Which is the best value out of these games in peoples opinions?
Axiom Verge is fantastic if you are into metroidvanias, (very metroid). Soma was Ok, i got kind of bored with it later on.

Cheers, Axiom being cross-buy is a big plus.

Very interested in Kerbal until I see it has like 3/5 stars on PSN. You know the game is fucked when it has less than 4 stars on PSN store.

I believe they're referring to the fact that the console versions cost more than PC, but that seems pretty obvious, right?

I hate when DLC doesn't go on sale for games.
Extra annoying when you own the base game and a GOT edition is released that goes on sale, and yet the individual DLC STILL doesn't go on sale (or it's barely discounted).
You were fine to give it a cold shoulder on release. It's a much different game now after those two huge updates.

AAC is a top tier dual stick shooter. Extremely good.
S-Ranking the game requires devotion. It's one of the beautiful things about the game - each level is designed with the potential for a perfect combo (s-rank). It won't be easy.
Here's a hint I discovered WAY WAY too late into my platinum... switching weapons gives you a couple invulnerability frames. You're welcome.

That's the right choice. SOMA and Assault Android Cactus were ok, but they're just regular games to me compared to Axiom Verge... something really special.
Yeah, probably for the best. The ~$20 I've paid is nice too. I've just got a bleeding heart for underdogs that go through the public meat grinder.

Assault Android Cactus, especially if you're into attaining S-Ranks.

I'm seeing a few streamers who have also bought NMS in the last couple of days and they're all happy with it too. It's really nice to see the community growing. Welcome aboard.

Soma is an amazing game.
Rayman Legends - I love the art and the gameplay.
Tower of Guns - This has always interested me. Cannot say why.
Assault Android Cactus - Everybody says so.
Red Planet - Supposed to be one of the purest twin stick shooters, so may as well gove it a shot for a couple of bucks.
Slain - The art, the developer's support to improve the gameplay, and the metal focus.
Hooray! I have no self control.

Well, I rebought the order for 4.99 after having traded it in a long time ago. I gotta say, it's a lot better than I remembered it being. The game is absolutely gorgeous, I think the best looking game this gen. The gameplay is solid, but just not good enough to be memorable. I actually am really enjoying the story the second time around as well.
I really feel like this is this gen's Heavenly Sword. Such a shame we won't get to see RAD get another shot at it.
