Really though SF5 is a dissapointment. The actual versus mode fighting stuff is fun when it works but right now the servers are dead (Expected I guess) and there is practically nothing to do offline

Well, specifically, and insanely, you can do the single player stuff while the servers are down but you won't unlock anything by doing it because all that information is stored server side. Anything you do offline you will have to redo online later when the servers are working.

Honestly just thinking of waiting until the summer to really start digging in to SFV. Like it seems dumb when I paid money but man they shipped this thing even more incomplete than Splatoon. It doesn't help that I finally got around to starting Sleeping Dogs which right now seems like a WAY better use of my time.

Would say this means a flash sale, but we just had one last week. Rockstar and Atlus (which of course are on sale this week) feel like they should just permanently drop the prices on their stuff at this point.

Something that is on sale will inherently get more attention than something that is merely low price. That is why Atlus does that. It keeps putting niche games in the eyes of people browsing the weekly deals.

The Division Season Pass was put up

quote:

Tom Clancy's The Division Season Pass grants you access to all three major expansions over the course of a year, an array of exclusive gear and day 1 customization options, as well as special perks each month just for Season Pass ownersall at one great price.
Each expansion builds on The Division, continuing your agents journey with new content, gear and gameplay as you fight to take back New York:
Expansion I: Underground
Expansion II: Survival
Expansion III: Last Stand
With the Season Pass, your Agent will stand out from the rest. On Day 1, youll unlock the exclusive Sawed-off Shotgun, a unique salvaged sidearm customized for short-range destruction. You will also receive a set of exclusive outfits and weapon skins.
In addition, Season Pass owners gain the benefit of special monthly perks, including exclusive content drops and events. More details coming soon!

We'll see how good/bad the content is. The second DLC is supposed to make the entire map a Dark Zone, which could be cool.

But good news is that the season pass DLC price is no more expensive than the gold edition premium. So I can get the standard edition and wait to see details on the DLC later. Only difference is getting it as Amazon 20% off through gold edition preorder, so saving $8 on it at a gamble of preordering...

Give me your friend's BURGERS and SANDWICHES, I'll put out the fire.

Speaking of dlc, Fallout 4 has announced it's dlc and is raising the price of it's season pass from 29.99 to 49.99 but if you have purchased the seasonpass before the price hike then you still get all the content.

So if anyones interested, it's still listed as 30 bucks on PSN

Ah cool. Two packs that should have been in the game and an actual DLC.

Edit:
I also laugh because I remember Skyrim was supposed to have more DLCs but they were cut in the end. Here is hoping people who buy the season pass for $50 get more than the $40 of DLC shown.

Yeah, and I swore I learned my lesson, but I had enough fun with The Division so far that it's making me consider being that stupid again. Especially if I can save $20 with this Amazon nonsense.

... then again I preordered MGS5 as well after promising I would never preorder anymore as well :doh:

For something like Dark Souls , coming back to it after a half year makes me so rusty I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself, doing a second playthrough isn't quite fun for me.

For bethesda games it comes down to memory size and constant huge dlc releases will kill my storage. I'm way better off waiting two years for the complete edition.

I'm about done with WB games season passes after Batman. I am waiting for Witcher 3 complete and will admit I have Mortal Kombat XL on preorder.

It would be nice if Rainbow Moon was retroactively cross buy from the PS3 version.

PS4 version has no cross-buy offer. There is an "upgrade" PS4 version for $7.49 if you own the PS3 and/or Vita versions.


Japan store:
PS2 Archive game Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter is now available for 1,234. This is for PS3 and not PS4.

I don't believe Japan has PS2-on-PS4 games yet, right?

Vita demo for the beat-em-up Uppers is now up. A bunch of people in the Vita thread were talking about this. Also, if machine translator is right, it includes a discount ticket that lowers the price of the download version from 6,458 to 5,958 for around the first 3 weeks of release.

I find myself considering the division despite not being excited about it only because I have $150 in psn cards and there is jack poo poo else to buy for a long time. Watch Dogs was a turd too but I almost platinum'd it due to the similar release time.

I love almost all Clancy games, tried rs siege recently and love it but I'm so so bad.

They are doing a second open beta? That's pretty ballsy given the lukewarm reception to the first. I guess to capture people that didn't get to try it the first time around (like myself)

Technically the first one was closed, it's just Nvidia was giving away so many free keys it might as well have been open :shrug:

So this time around is probably the one where they really attempt to build hype.
