What was in the E3 Experience digital goodie bag? I fell asleep and didn't feel like going to the theatre.

$10 PSN, a theme for Horizon: Zero Dawn, for some reason a code for the 2014 TMNT movie and some stuff for Paragon I believe it was the cheapest pack.

It's a lot of fun, but it doesn't really feel too engaging until you unlock 6trax FX, but it also stops pulling its punches and goes straight for the jugular on that mode too. I would've liked it better if they had difficulty a separate option from mode, but it's still really fun and worth the purchase if you like music games.

How was the DLC in Shadow of Mordor? I bought it at launch, platinumed it in a couple weeks and sold it. $12 CAD for the GotY edition is kind of tempting if the DLC is any good.

Muck. Just get the base game.

In his case, he already played the game. So skip it. The dlc is not worth the time from what I hear. Just an excuse to sell a season pass.

Outside of Tomb Raider are there any games on sale that I should absolutely pick up?

e: I already own Shadow of Mordor and Dragon Age if anyone was going to suggest those. They were very fun.

I platinumed the base game back when it was new. It was a lot of fun, but I don't think I'd want to replay the base game if the DLC is crap.

Thanks all! Maybe I'll grab Tomb Raider instead.

I thought the battlefield 4 campaign was pretty terrible and would not buy it to play the campaign. The multiplayer is great though and tons of people still play, but I know you wanted single player feedback.

I haven't played hardline.

Hardline's single player is pretty stupid. Partway through the game you stop being a cop but still can "arrest" people.

Glad I never sold my regular version of Mordor to get the GotY Edition, as it sounds like the season pass wasn't worth it.

Speaking of GotY, I asked last page but is it better to get just get the Dragon Age Inquisition GotY next time it ever goes on sale or just get the base game for $6 from the sale? I never heard much opinions on the dlcs for that game, so I am not figuring it had anything amazing like Shadowbroker in ME2 or the Citadel one for ME3.

Awesome!

Its worth 6 its just a weird game with a mess of incongruent design decisions, lots of worthless activities to grind out currency to buy more story mission access (of which there are only 12 or so) , and lame characters for the most part.

I personally would just play more witcher but if you havent tried it out 6bucks is a great price for all the (boring) content

Someone said the DLC isn't worth it but couldn't find the quote. I've never played the DLC so can't comment.

Any idea if/when the E3 sale is hitting the UK/Irl store???


Oh to the guy asking, the BF4 single player is awful and definitely not worth buying if you only intend to play the campaign. The MP is amazing though and I don't know why they bother making SP for BF...

As a Tales fan, I'd say to hold off for the next set of eventual games or only play this if you have already played through the PS3 offerings.

It's clunky, the pacing is all over the place for both combat and story, the camera is poo poo, and it uses a vastly different system for leveling where it's ultra dependant on your gear.

Edit: VVV :rolleye:

Turns out AC4 is only $9 with PSPlus so that seems well worth putting up with Ubisoft's usual problems if I get a good pirate game.

Also Rayman Legends is super cheap. I've had my eye on it forever since I want a fun co-op game to play with my girlfriend. It looks really cute from all the screenshots :3:

This. I've never played a Rayman until I picked it up last sale, and I'm smitten with it. You get your money's worth at full price, IMO.

I just started on the Origins levels and I'm digging them more than the Legends levels. They seem to have more flavor.

Too bad I bought Overwatch on Sunday, because if I had waited I might have considered grabbing a couple games for a rainy day to round out the remaining $40.

Oh well, nothing wrong with not spending an additional $40!

It's definitely worth $12 if you enjoy Ubisoft open world games. It's a 7/10 game with a crappy story but some interesting ideas and variable execution. The driving takes a little bit to get used to - you will absolutely hate it at first - but when you get the hang of it you might enjoy driving some of the heavier vehicles and causing mayhem. The online invasion mode was awesome closer to launch, though it's probably not that active at this point.

Don't pay for the version that has the DLC.
