Dang, Mad Max for €18 (with Plus) is about the price point I've been waiting for. It's been on sale a lot lately, but always for about twice that.

It's fun as long as you don't try and 100% it. One story mission has some really bad RNG bullshit though.

It seems like some weeks when there's just crummy deals, Sony busts out a Flash Sale on the weekend.

Here's hoping for something like that.

Is Dynasty Warriors 8 worth €20? I've never played a Warriors game outside of Hyrule Warriors Legends, I was thinking of checking out some of the games on PS4/Vita because I enjoy HWL.

I mean it sucks to have a few weeks of bad sales but like 5 or 6 new games worth playing at a wide range of price points came out in the last few weeks. This isn't really a time where you should be lacking games to play so :shrug:

I took austin walker's rec to get samurai warriors 4 empires and if you want a warriors game with no plot or whatever to get int the way of your conquest and you also don't want to spend hours in menus playing nobunaga's ambition but still want to feel like a shogun strategy badass, this is the game for you!

also you can make a character that kills people with guitar solos

Given my account being recently absconded I don't know if I'd make that pledge myself, but it is very much a step in the right direction.

Also considering they already have an error in that it's showing up for some users and hasn't been rolled out, I'd say there's good reason to hesitate even if they do get this working.

thats how firmware preview programs work

Sony is making a long-awaited effort to shore up security on the PlayStation Network — the company is planning to add two-factor authentication to the service, Sony confirmed to Polygon today.

"In order to further safeguard our users and their accounts, we are preparing to offer a 2-step verification feature," a Sony representative said.

The spokesperson did not offer a time frame at this point, saying only that "more details will be shared at a later date." Sony updated the PS3's firmware to version 4.80 yesterday, and users noticed that if they entered incorrect login information, the system mentioned two-step verification — which isn't currently available on PlayStation Network accounts.

No, however you can't completely ignore the side missions because they're tied to upgrades which you'll need to have a chance in the story missions, probably the worst part about it. It's not even close to 75% though.

Huge EU sale, some 170ish games for PS4, PS3 and Vita. Includes good poo poo like Firewatch and Life is Strange. The latest Senran Kagura is only on sale for Vita, not for PS4 for some reason; most other multiplats are on sale on all platforms.

Alien Isolation collection is kind of perfect for me at $20. Looks like the sale lasts until the beginning of May so I can wait to see if there's a US sale this weekend. Otherwise dusting off my UK account!

Pyre is a new game by the Bastion and Transistor devs, due out next year, but given their track record and such it'll probably be good with a great soundtrack.

This looks gorgeous; not sure about the actual gameplay on display. 3 vs 3 arena-style matches with cover? I dunno...

Multiple news sources are reporting that an HBONow app is now available on XboxOne and 360. What are the chances that this will pop up on PS4 anytime soon? It's getting really old hooking my laptop up to my TV every time--would love to be able to watch it through a PS4 app.

Total guess on my part, I'm guessing it's in the works (and would probably land very soon with Game of Thrones starting on Sunday) or Xbox would would have likely made a statement harping on their exclusivity of it in the console space.

I'm hoping it hits too because I think the geoblock will be easiest to work around on PS4 :ninja:.
