So a question regarding DLC bought on international accounts - I bought Rainbow 6 Siege digitally from Amazon and redeemed it on my US accont, and if I want to buy the DLC, will it work if I buy it on my primary Australian account?

The game version you got is north american so the dlc will have to be as well, your australian account almost certainly won't work.

No Man's Sky is showing up as CAN$59.99 on the Canadian PS Store (accessed through PS4), which would be about a $35 savings including taxes. The problem is the link is dead right now. If you want it digital keep F5ing and hopefully you can get in at a discount.

I'm hoping these release dates are wrong?

Resident Evil sale is kinda poop. Bought RE2 though because at $1.49, why not, and then I don't have to deal with discs (oh the burden)

Thanks for this, I literally dusted my vita off. Re2 and 3 for 3 bux is a nobrainer

So would purchasing the US version of the DLC work on the AU account? The last time I tried was with Battlefield Premium which didn't work as it's on a per-account basis, but Siege is just map packs and junk right?

No. You have to use a US account to buy the DLC from the US store, as your copy of the game is the US copy. Once that's done though you can still play and access it from your AU account as long as that US account is still on your PS4.

I have Siege gold and don't recommend it. The grinding is far easier than I expected and you don't get anything but free operators and skins.

I've had it for a month, have everyone/most gun mods unlocked, and could easily buy the next round of dlc operators by the time it comes out.

Hey, PS+ for vita has been great for me.

Feenix posted:

It is worth noting that a lot of the previews mention the performance is not so great" on PS4. Hopefully that gets shored up.

That's unfortunate. I had hopes this would be a selling point for PSVR, but that requires 90+ FPS to be acceptable. If the game ran smooth 60fps I would see it possible, but if the PS4 has performance issues...

There was the same comments between Firewatch and The Witness. Firewatch wasn't able to hut 60fps but The Witness stayed Pegged at 60fps with similar art styles.

I'm really disappointed that Broforce wasn't a cross buy for vita. I'll probably never play it. If I'm firing up my PS4, it's not to play side scrolling indies 90% of the time. Although I did play OlliOlli2 on the PS4 last night for the daily grind.

I played some of that there Broforce earlier and thought it was cheesy good times. A brief dabble with Galak-Z makes me want to play more of that too. So, good month? Yeah, good month.

Only if they release Trinity Universe first so they know what it's like going from a 5/10 game to a 2/10 watered down version of the previous. :v:

They should port it to PS4 with no improvements, not even to framerate, then release it as a day 1 PS+ title. "There's your free full retail game, are you happy?"

Now you permanently lose shares every time you think about the Vita and in order to heal you have to win a round of Keno which slowly plays out after each enemy attack.

I'm really surprised by how much I like it too. I give every free game a shot, but most I delete within an hour.
I like the strategic element of morphing the environment for an advantage.
I'm an 80s child too, so the theme that many would just see as a meme or whatever has a tinge of nostalgia to me.

I went from really enjoying Galak Z to despising it and deleting it in record time. It's just a constant battle against the controls, and wiping your progress on death is just a loving waste of the player's time.

I was really into it, then I beat the first season and it restarted me in the second season with nothing. That really soured me on it. That's not how roguelikes are supposed to work, 17BIT!

I beat it the other day and I found the controls really good. They have a learning curve to them, but if you surpass that they afford tons of precision and neat maneuvers. My real issue with the game is the difficulty. Towards the end the enemies just get tons of health and do more damage. They aren't any different and each season resets your progress.

Seriously, the worst thing about it is that it's a roguelike. I really hate how careful you need to be to conserve health. I actually want to go back to play more since it just feels good to play, but the thought of those dmg sponge enemies that require environmental hazards to kill just pisses me off.

I like roguelikes and feel qualified to say that it's a bad roguelike.

Edit: It's a shame too. The setting and presentation are great, and in concept the systems are really good. It just doesn't bring together its shooter and roguelike aspects at all.

If they stripped out the roguelike aspect and made your upgrades persist throughout the game it would be a great game. It's a shame. I really really liked their skulls tactics game from a while back.
