Is next gen Alien Isolation any different from the previous gen's version? I really enjoyed it on the 360, I wonder if the graphics jump is worth getting it again. Does the Alien behave any differently or is the visual appearance the only difference?

Why does golden sale seemingly translate to anime sale?
Because Anime is Golden

Is this Golden Week sale on the EU store too? I only see the Spring Savings sale there. e: Oh wait, is it the "Save 70% on PS3/Vita games" sale?

Edit: also I was in Japan not long ago and visited Nakano Broadway where the game takes place, was pretty surreal wandering around getting flashbacks to a loving digimon game lol.

Holy poo poo, that's why Nakano seemed so drat familiar when I was there a month ago.

So I'm eyeing Digimon pretty hard in this sale. Is it particularly grindy?
It can be if you play on Hard, though you can powerlevel one of your dudes with the others to work them through evolutions toward becoming a tiny god. Some bosses will really eat your lunch if you're not powerful on Hard.

Normal you can probably do whatever

Digital Foundry did a comparison of all 5 versions, quite technically orientated and focused on the graphics. It's basically the same game on both console generations, graphics and loading times aside, as I understand.

Oh, Thursday? OK.

Hmmmm if those are the PS4 games then I don't think I am going to complain this month. Feels strange, man.

Oh, you can still totally complain if you wanna. iirc that version of Tetris is awful. I don't know if they fixed it but I seem to remember it having really bad framerate problems and being an all round pile when it first came out.

I'm always impressed that Ubisoft managed to release a version of Tetris in 2015 that doesn't have a stable framerate.

I normally make a point of at least adding every PS+ game to my library even if I don't want to play them but in this case I doubt I'll even bother.

Maybe Tropico will be fun though?

Same for LocoRoco, is it pretty much the same for the PSP games?

How is Tropico on consoles? I can't imagine playing a city sim with a controller.

Also, I already own half of this stuff, and the other half is pretty lame, but whatever. Maybe there'll be a nice sale in May.

Obligatory reminder: BC Rearmed 2 is one of two Capcom games which require persistent PSN connectivity because it was released back when you could activate 5 PS3's to an account and that was Capcom's way to counteract the rampant account sharing going on.

Yep, that totally sucks. (Final Fight Double Impact is the other, for the curious.)

It does make it a perfect candidate for PS+, though.

It's also on PSNow which is, frankly, perfect for it given that restriction.

Tropico games are a great city builder where you are building a dictatorship in a small island nation. If you don't disable it, you can have peasants revolt and try to form a army to take you down, or you just get them killed by the secret police. Never played it on a console, but the PC is very fun and chill.

Okay so in light of the unironic disappointment over the worst tetris ever and one of the most derided AAA releases of this console generation, what are the worst possible leaked games that people could get excited for and then disappointed to not receive? No Knack jokes, please.

Tetris Ultimate kinda sucked anyway from what I played of it, the controls felt really weird. I'd look into Puyo Puyo Tetris instead if you can find it for cheap.

Eh, it's just nice to have a version of Tetris on console for some local multiplayer. Last generation it was "Tetris Splash" for me, which was kind of lame but did the job. Tetris Ultimate, by all indications, doesn't seem worth the money. But it's the only one available and I'm not shelling out for an import copy of Puyo Puyo Tetris.

But anyway, it's not worth discussing anymore since those leaked games weren't real. Sorry to start a derail here. I'll try to get excited about Table Top Racing: World Tour :v:
