Keep bustin'
Between general married adult life... and like, just having games on other consoles/PC to play, I never actually play all the PS+ games from a given month. So I've always got games from the "good" months still backed up to play, which I need a subscription to do, so keeping my PS+ subscription is good in my book. And I only have a PS3!

It does happen since the whole level is simulated all the time in Spelunky, e.g. you can throw a rock, set off a dart trap off-screen and the dart will traverse the entire level until it hits something. Normally enemy projectiles have a limited range, though, and things like dart or crush traps only activate when something moves in a certain radius which is less than the screen size.

Yeah, that's a big difference i've found in Galak-Z (played it on PC): Due to the way combat is balanced, and the camera is set, most of the shots will be coming at you off-screen in it. You'll have a general indication of the rough direction due to the enemy arrows, but dim purple arrows on a black background mean it's easy to not clearly see them, and the arrows are super inaccurate as well.

You're not lying. My roommate and I decided to give it a go today, and it was a blast. The only problem was that the game apparently likes to briefly pause controller input from time to time, and that's pretty annoying since it usually means one or both of us get killed.

Yeah that little pause is annoying. It seems to happen 5-10 seconds into a level.

I'm playing it mostly couch coop with my 10 year old. He loves the style and we have a lot of laughs playing it. Good bonding time. Plus, I get to explain who all of the Bros are lol.

It isn't dumb. I started the game, and then we turned on a second controller. My roommate selected his own login, and his progress was tracked and stored to his own account. His earned trophies apply to his PSN account rather than mine or nobody's. Also, for games like Helldivers where there's account-based DLC, visiting a friend's home and signing in with my account grants access to my purchased add-ons.

I meant the guest thing, it makes sense if the other person has an account for the reasons you said. I'd just like to have two controllers using the same account. It'd make using Remote Play as just a remote screen, and using the connected DS4 as the controller, nice and easy too.

Is there somewhere that sells Canadian PSN wallet cards with online delivery and no markup? PSN decided to stop accepting my credit card today for no particular reason.

I don't think so for online delivery, but try buying your item(s) or funding your wallet through your console instead of the webstore and see if that works.

No luck on console, the web store, or SEN account management. The best part is that even if I deleted my credit card and added paypal it would still say my credit card information is incorrect.

They do not. I have a sneaking suspicion it's to discourage massive poaching by U.S. buyers since the tanked Canadian Dollar makes quite a few titles significantly cheaper when you factor in the exchange rate.

My girlfriend dislikes video games but she rather enjoys the screaming narrator and all the playable little guys in Broforce. All in all it was a pretty fun time burning through it in like a day.

The last bro I got was either Highlander or Raiden just before the final boss, did I miss any? And why on earth did they throw in Raiden when every other bro is an action movie character (Mortal Kombat the movie hardly counts)?

I sat down and put an hour or so into Broforce today and two things stand out:

1) holy poo poo that controller problem. In the level where you start by getting shelled from above, the controller bug really fucks you.

2)Broforce is really loving fun, like REALLY fun.

March was absolutely a great ps+ month for Broforce alone

Has anyone had any luck playing online? Both times I tried the level loaded and the camera went wonky, and all the vehicle and enemy sprites dropped through the floor?

Can't be that, its been that way since the Cdn dollar was higher/at par.

I'd just buy cards at eb games unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

I couldn't get it to work myself, but there's a bunch of Euro people claiming they can buy Minecraft PS4 for 4 instead of full price by using this link on the web store. It's the update package in case you owned Minecraft on PS3 or Vita, but as it turns out, it seems to activate just fine even if you don't own either of those. Again, couldn't get it to work myself but it may just be the PSN store being poo poo and not allowing me to buy anything in the first place.

Worked for me. Redirected me to the UK store and is now installed. Cost £4.49. Thanks for the heads up!

Usually goons are quick to post here or in the video games deals thread when a random PS+ deal comes up. I think you're gonna have to pay full price for now. It's only around Black Friday and Christmas that the cards always go on sale, usually up to ten bux off.

There was one a few weeks back on eBay as well, and I've noticed they pop up from time to time. $40 is the best you're going to find from what I've seen.

And as always, importing a PS Plus code from Canada is always an option as long as the dollar is in your favor. They cost $50 in both countries and Canada's dollar costs 25% less than the US dollar right now, so that's a pretty good savings. PS Plus cards from either country can work in either country. PSN funds cards, however, are country-locked.

This sale is just weird.

Unity and Syndicate are the same price.

Black Flag is cheaper for the PS4 version than the PS3 version. :psyduck:

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is also 34% off, although an important note is that the Vita version is blocked on the PSTV (I tested both the English and Japanese versions) so bear that in mind.

Xbox has a spring sale kicking off in 2 weeks so it's possible PSN has something similar lined up for the not-too-distant future.

Considering the price for Syndicate and Black Flag, they are telling you to get those and ignore the rest. Both are great games by the way, even if Assassin Creed fatigue is a real problem.
