Is Lego jurassic Park good for 20 bucks? Does it have coop and some good Lego humor?

Lego Jurassic World is amazing since it has all four movies and the ability to play as dinosaurs. also for the audio they literally just ripped clips from the movies, and Jeff Goldblum's laugh is in there. 10/10 for me. me and my wife enjoy it a lot

A gazillion things. Divinity Original Sin and Diablo III for $24 look to be the standouts. Huge list though.

I picked up Jackbox Party Pack 2. I would have picked up Divinity Original Sin, but I bought a physical copy on Monday. I didn't realize Divinity was so long, How Long to Beat shows it as ~70 hours

You can totally play the game by yourself just fine anyway, the difficulties are super easy to tailor it to yourself and how difficult you want it to be.

You most likely already know this but it's pretty much a coop game. It can get tough and hectic, making it a bit rough for people new to games. Lots of micromanaging what you need to boost and moving between stations.

This just popped up in a banner ad above, continental USA only

"RECEIVE $10 OFF WHEN YOU SPEND $59.99 OR MORE AT PLAYSTATIONSTORE USING PAYPAL."

Fine print says you have to save the offer to your PayPal account, and it's valid on purchases from February 7 to March 6. I don't know if this is only available to new PayPal accounts or for everyone.

I don't use PayPal so I can't say if it works or not.

I didn't realize this was on sale. For $2 I'll take NBA Jam and NFL Blitz. Even if I play the game for one day for a few hours, it's money well spent.

Ruggington posted:

It works well. You can see some frame drops rarely but it runs OK 99% of the time. The worst thing I've had was one fight where the frames went to a crawl for some reason because I had so much particle effects on screen, but other than that it's been an enjoyable experience.

I was hoping that was the case. I just wish there was cheap third party controllers like afterglow for the ps4, as I don't want to spend $75 on a controller thats rarely going to get used. Seems I can get controllers cheaper online though, still doesn't change the fact Canadian fun bucks are worth about as much as the monopoly money they appear to be. :canada:

I watched a review for Diablo III and it warned against pubbies as if they cheated you get hosed over too, seems really weird as I thought it was a mainly PC thing to cheat. Good to know about the warning though. I'll try to play alone, with goons or friends on the couch and avoid randoms if possible.

Well, they're on sale for $61 on Amazon.ca right now, and have been as low as $50. $75 is way too much though.

So the real thing to look out for are greater rifts. Cheaters can do super high level ones which will give you crazy paragon levels. Last patch it was real bad because XP gear was shared and a cheater would kill 1 monster and you'd gain 1000 levels before you realized what was happpening.

Since then, they at least limited gems to level 100, but they still have poo poo where legendary gems have stats like a weapon, so they'll have attack speed, more weapon damage, weapons and rings/amulets have three sockets, just shut like that.

It really disappoints me, because the console game would become my prime way to play over PC if there was a valid public game option.

All the hacked items are still coming from the PS3 version and transferred over, right? I don't get why they just won't do seasons on console already, it'd be a clean slate where all the transferred and potentially hacked stuff wouldn't be permitted. Unless I'm wrong and people have figured out how to hack the PS4 saves.

It seems they've got it on PS4 hacking now because they are modding legendary gems and getting all the wings that weren't patched into the PS3 version.

Its most like a late 90s CRPG like Baldur's Gate or Ultima or something like that, a lot of deep dialogue trees to wade through and it rewards creative use of your party's abilities and things like that that those games used to do. However unlike a lot of throwback RPGs that have come out lately it is super polished and modernized and way more playable.

Sorry if this has been asked before but how's the performance on Borderlands 2 Vita nowadays? I heard it for patched to run much better. Did it get that balance patch for the other versions a few months ago that made it less of a horrendous grind fest?
