Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
Are those Rockstar and GTA collections "for Vita" just buying all the PSP games under one umbrella transaction, or are they actual single-download games that have access to all 3 games?

If you feel like the Ratchet and Clank games are for you and haven't gotten them all yet there are a number of good offerings there. Worth noting that Into the Nexus also comes with Quest For Booty for free, unless they changed that in the last month.

Full Frontal Assault is probably what you're thinking of. It isn't outright bad like A4O though, just different. It is real short when it comes to the single player though, and I have no idea about it's online. I'd say it's worth checking out for $3, especially when you also get Deadlocked with it for free.

That said, if you only want the core games, here's what you buy:

- Ratchet & Clank Collection
- R&C Future: Tools of Destruction
- R&C Future: A Crack in Time
- R&C Into the Nexus (Comes with Quest for Booty)

Just $15 gets you the whole core series. A drat good deal if you ask me. And Full Frontal Assault is the only side game you need to buy if you buy any of them since it comes with Deadlocked. Don't play All 4 One.

Size Matters was alright for what it was. Secret Agent Clank was just bad though.

Being that it's marked as "Purchased" for me and I only previously purchased the games individually leads me to believe it's one umbrella transaction for 3 distinct downloads.

Thanks for the advice. Turned out I got home and found out all I didn't have was Collection (because I had them on PS2) and the FFA/Deadlocked combo so I filled that out real cheap

honestly, Quest For Booty is okay as a free add on with Into The Nexus, but I'd have been just as okay not playing it after I finished, and I can't imagine paying anything for it. it's just missing a lot of stuff that makes the series good.

Is Bodycount just bad and racist or amusingly bad and racist? I see it on sale in the PAL zone.

The store page says it does which is amusing since Into the Nexus costs $3 and Quest for Booty as a stand alone costs $4.50...


There's nothing like hitting the confirm purchase button and a minute later you get the message that the store is undergoing maintenance. I really don't get how Sony's online store can be so comically terrible...

I'm fairly sure Bodycount had/has a demo if it's still up there. It's incredibly bland and controls like poo poo though. I think the Turning Point devs made it.

It's a shame since it's really well produced but it's missing all those things that made R&C games such fun to replay. Secrets, weapon upgrade ridiculousness, and a new game+ mode. I'm not sure if that stuff got cut or it was never in the plan but that game just feels so disappointing for how little more it needs to be really good.

WTF is that Neverwinter game and why does it have two separate DLC that are $75 and $50? I looked at the description of the $75 one and it sure doesn't look like it has $75 worth of content in it.

ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

The difficulty settings on Furi are pretty crummy. I got stuck on that third boss so I figured I'd turn down the difficulty to see more of the game. I was hoping that turning it down to easy would let me take a few extra hits or cause the boss to take fewer hits to get through each phase.

Well, instead it limits the third boss to just the first phase. You fight through the shields and then the fight ends there. Really underwhelming experience. In addition, if you want to retry the third boss on normal you have to restart the entire game and play up to that point again. Beating it on easy overwrites the old save on normal.

i kind of like that though. i hate when turning up the difficulty only adds some hp to enemies and leaves everything else the same.

there should probably be some warning about lowering the difficulty being permanent on that save

Yeah it says "warning the game is gonna be easier and you can't go back to normal" but I wanted to give a heads up that it removes all but the first phase of the fight (at least for boss 3). It removes a majority of the actual game. Will take the thread's advice and git gud or die tryin.

The devs attitude is very anti noob. Im surprised they let their hardcore 25 dollar game go free to scrubs on ps+ but i guess the accountants saw that the game was gonna be doa without a lot of good will and buzz behind it.

i think a lot of indie games are starting to price themselves with the idea that most of their sales are going to come during sales at like 70% off so they are going to 20+ instead of 10 or 15.

I bought Assault Android Cactus and while it is very smooth it's missing..."something"? I can't describe it but I'm in zone 3 and the game is well made but I'm not sure I'm having fun. I love twin stick shooters too but I can't help but thinking Geometry Wars 3, Nuclear Throne or even Helldivers is more entertaining.

Very minority opinion since goons rave over the game

It's enjoying at max firepower + accelerate power-up and wish that's the default speed rather than having to work for it.

It's s yearly thing Sony does to highlight one indie game a week for four weeks. You get escalating money back depending on how many you preorder. Every game except for maybe one or two has become a PS+ title a couple months later.
