2K16 for free is the best PS+ title in forever, I'm pumped. I've been considering buying it since it came out and haven't for whatever reason. It paid off!

I've got to remind myself to do this - in 2K14 I made myself plus like another 6 inches of height and I was still shortest guy on the court.

Time for my 2K2 7 foot afro-ed white guy with max stats to make his marvelous return.

Except for 2K16, the Japanese PS+ selection for this month is completely different from the western one. Some of the games have been on the western service before, but two notable ones weren't: Psycho Break (The Evil Within) for PS3 and PS4, and the Vita Umihara Kawase game.

Man, Evil Within would be a rad game to get with ps+. I don't want to pay money for it but I've always been curious. Not gonna hold my breathe for it in the west but it'd be cool.

I bought it for $15 on sale at Target once and felt it was worth about that. I didn't bother finishing it. It could've benefitted from a few more months in development, less/no bullshit deaths, and the batshit nonsensical plot I guess I could take or leave. It wasn't bad. Kind of on par with a bad Silent Hill game.

Good news: Persona 5 now has a release date in English, and it looks like the PS3 version is still coming for those who care.

Bad news: It's February 14, 2017.

Also World of Final Fantasy is releasing October 25th 2016, and Horizon: Zero Dawn February 28 2017.

It says only 13 tracks in that version, so you'll probably be making up the price in dlc unless you really just like India.

Is NBA 2K16 the one that's basically an RPG wrapped around a sports game because whatever game that is sounded interesting

The only problem I have playing 2K16 as a single player RPG in MyGM mode is that after a couple of seasons it ends up being pretty trivial to get a team entirely of all-stars and amass about half the first round in draft picks every year. I think my 2024 Bulls team went 80-2 (simulating all games)with 18 out of the first 20 draft picks for example.

That being said, 2K16 is a great game, and you have to play through the Spike Lee story because the last cutscene is amazingly awful.

It's funny that I'd probably be less annoyed about the Persona thing if they didn't just constantly insist it'd be out this year in the west like they did last year. On the one hand fool me once and all that bullshit but on the other hand, christ, just don't say anything definitive about the release date until you know you idiots.

Until Dawn is $19.99 at Best Buy right now.
Same as on the PSN, but it's a disc you can sell/trade/lend, and GCU brings the price to $15.99.

Same story with Bloodborne, too.
Oh, and also The Last of Us Remastered. :v:

I don't think anyone with a realistic grasp of how localisation stuff works expected it to land any earlier than the end of 2016, and February is only a couple of months off that. It's not exactly a huge delay.

You're "right" given what is likely Atlus' workflow, but plenty of companies manage day-and-date releases in several languages at launch by having a development workflow allowing the translators to work on it before launch. Skyrim had that including every single book in the game for like 7 languages at least.

The reason is because Atlus are small and Persona 5 isn't going to sell that much, unlike Bethesda and Skyrim.

I'm not saying it's a surprise or even that bug big if a delay. It's just been already so delayed and having been constantly assured that it was definitely coming ominous 2016 after constantly being assured it was coming in 2015 makes the whole thing just kinda suck

Also I suspect there's a lot more localization work needed for a game that's so idiosyncratically Japanese. Skyrim's fantasy setting is a lot more universal.
