Anyone else gotten their 15 sony bux for spending 100 yet? I am worried that they are going to try to cheat me out of it since the fist 50 of my 100 was psn auto-renewing the day the deal started.

No, but there's still a few more hours to go in the day. We should be receiving it some time today supposedly.

I think so - it's a good fighting game, and you get some Virtua Fighter characters also (Akira, Pai, Sarah are there for certain, but I think there were 4 total, just can't remember the last one - Jacky, maybe?) who have their moves implemented quite fluidly into the DoA controls - sadly, I think it's the closest we're getting to VF on the PS4, but I hope I'm wrong.

Go to the notification, open it up and press X. It takes you to the PSN store so it can add the $15 to your wallet.

Also borderlands handsome collection seems like a good deal at 15 bucks. I've never played it.

If you want a whole lot of videogame for not a lot of money $15 for the Handsome Collection is a pretty good deal because that's Borderlands 2, the Pre-Sequel and all of both games' DLC.

I thought it looked neat and sounded cool but there's only 3 'tracks' and you have to play the same song four times a row to unlock the next. By the time I finished the first four levels I felt pretty much done.

Furi is actually pretty rad and I typically turn my nose up at indie games. Turns my PS4 fans into drone propellers for seemingly no good reason though.

Word of advice, the DLC areas are all unlocked via the fast travel system so be careful because you can accidentally go to one and they're mainly meant to be played after you finished the main story. They also don't break down what point goes to what DLC so you'll have to look that up.

I wish it didn't have the walking segments that you can't skip have no gameplay and barely any narration, but the bosses are very fun to fight

If you press the X button, he'll walk without you having to hold the controller. That makes it a lot more bearable.

alternatively, it's another wonky hard to control physics 'game' like Surgeon Simulator so the bundle makes sense. They're both throwaway but fun for one sitting if you like that kind of thing

Oh I said I'd report back on Energy Hook. Well it's not very good. It's got extremely fast movement but it's not fluid at all and the camera can't keep up so you're just flying off the screen and it's hard to reign yourself in. The menus and presentation is very budget but it was made by one guy so that's not too damning. There was one moment where I chained together an insane wall run swing combo and hit huge points and popped like 6 trophies and felt like a badass but it also felt almost lucky and I have had no way to recreate that. Ah well. Big bummer

All the guy had to do was recreate New York and let us be able to swing around it. No jetpack combo wall-running time attack bullshit, just swinging around taking in the sights.

The Furi soundtrack is pretty rad, this was my favorite track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CGMk_roNaE

As far as the game goes, I really enjoy satisfying bosses in things like Bloodborne, Dark Souls and Monster Hunter but for whatever reason it's not clicking with me in Furi.

How scary is Soma? I get scared at games easy and was pretty grossed out by the RE7 demo. I can play the Silent Hill games ok but jump scare games, no way

I've looked and there's been complaints that it's not scary but the monster designs are terrifying even though there's no fighting, so I don't know?? :ohdear:

I just want a good contemplative story and not be making GBS threads my pants every 5 minutes

The monster stuff isn't really that heavy so you should be okay. The game is more about existential horror than jump scares.

How scary do you find the bottom of the ocean? There's lots of dark ocean floor stuff. I loved that, my favorite part of the game's atmosphere. The monsters are more irritating than anything else.
