Oh yeah, Teddy requires you to double-tap to dash and dash jumping is really important to the platforming so it kind of annoyed the gently caress out of me. Just let me hold down a button gently caress your double tap. It feels finicky if done on a stick and it is uncomfortable to do on a d-pad.

You had to double tap to dash in Circle of the Moon and you always wanted to be dashing in that game so it would be like second nature to me now.

The first was so very good, and the second was so very awful. The designers seem to understand that so I have hope, tempered with deep skepticism, that it will turn out well. Come to think of it, that's my outlook towards Gears of War, any future Halo games and most other Xbox One franchises.

It showed up super briefly last month as a PS+ freebie before being replaced by something else.

Just saw this posted on Reddit. For US users, if you grab the Amplitude demo, then the full game unlocks for free (probably a mistake).

This seems to have worked for me so far. Full game was listed as free after getting the demo, added to cart and checked out with no charge. Neat!

This happens with games that download the full version and lock you out of the non demo content. Tearaway did the same thing. You get all the data but cant access it until you pay

The demo and game look to be separate for Amplitude though? The demo isn't on the same page as the full game.

Mine showed the proper price, but had a 'download' button under it. I tried downloading it, assuming it would be the demo, but after playing it appears to be completely unlocked. I imagine I'll lose access to it next time I do the 'update content ID'. Similar to when you receive a refund from Sony on a digital title, you'd still have access to the game till the next content ID update and it realizes it's not valid anymore.

I was actually able to add it to my cart and check out with it for free so who knows if that actually gives you the license.

Dunno, Sony pretty good at letting you keep freebies like this. I still have the Warrior Orichi 3 for the Vita I got from buying a costume, or God of War 1 & 2 on the Vita for 'owning' the PS3 versions from the PS+ trials.

I'm guessing you're good, because you actually were able to put it in your cart and check-out at that price of $0. I got an error while trying to put it in my cart, and if I go to play the game from my main dashboard, it still gives me the option to buy it for $19.99. That's what I had when I got my refund for Littlebigplanet 3. It had the price to buy it, but it also had the option to play it. That worked for a couple of months, till my licenses were checked and I could no longer launch it.

On the plus side, Shutshimi is way more fun that it should be. I'm pleasantly surprised. It's not the best game ever made, but it manages to be captivating.

Yeah this happened to me as well. Was able to download the game but not "purchase" it.

Yeah sounds like it was only working like that for a split second. You need to be able to check out with it.

I think demos get added to a games main page and they're not usually separate. So hitting download on a page of a game you don't own is usually the demo.

But the demo just somehow made the price free and you need to check out so you get the license.

Only was able to find the demo on PS4 which I don't have but I figured I just have to "buy" the demo so it shouldn't matter now it says the PS3 version of the actual game is unavailable for purchase.

edit: So I dug a little and it says the reason I can't buy it on PS3 is I own it (probably from the demo) but it isn't giving me the option to download it and it doesn't show up in my download list except for on PS4 which I can't use since I only have PS3.

edit2: Not gonna complain about not being able to play a game I only maybe own because of a gently caress up though.

edit3: Now it says it's $19.99 on PS3 so I think they got everything sorted out.

I just pulled up the mobile app and it looks like it might be working. I purchased the Demo, didn't download it. Then I opened the PS4 version and there was a "download" button below add to basket. It's downloading now.

Edit: Nevermind, it's just the demo. Says purchase the full game to unlock all but the first two songs.

That Tron Runr game is 50% off (for PS+ members) in the EU now.

Also, the Valkyria Chronicles remaster thing is up on Amazon for pre-order (£20). And yeah, I know, I am a bad person for pre-ordering video games I want, but I tend to do it on Amazon for the price guarantee then cancel closer to the time if I'm unsure or change my mind.

I don't know if they do it outside of the US, but if you have Amazon Prime, it also gives you 20% off of pre-orders. I have it on order there, and my price is gonna be $24, and I think release-date delivery. Prime is cool.
