It's random but usually Every few months. I'd wait at least until the flash sale (which will probably be next weekend) before buying something

RE4 is probably not going on sale for a while its one of those games that people will always be willing to pay for

Hasn't it already been on sale? I thought had.

These children have taught me how to believe.
RE4 has been on sale a few times, i'm pretty sure. I know it's been in a few humble bundles and steam sales on PC, so to see it on sale on consoles isn't that far of a stretch.

I'm pretty sure the first time re6 went on sale on psn, it was exactly 16 dollars too. And it took maybe 2 months to get to that point. It hasn't gone lower yet.


So might as well buy from Amazon. It won't be cheaper until next year, probably.

Almost positive this is why the coupon expires by October. I mean at least give it until the end of the year.

They were probably too scared of people doing it by the millions for call of duty/Battlefield/whatever else comes out in November.

Yeah it also expires the week before DQ Builders and Tomb Raider come out too, so there's a lack of big name titles that I could find interest in before it shits out. Hopefully Necropolis will get a PS4 release in September and I'll just use it on the game on release day.

I just realized I never got Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls 3 + Season pass would be $68 after the discount, but that game is old enough that I'm sure it'll be discounted soon anyway :/

Dark souls 3 will probably be in a sale in September. Most likely just the basic edition. See if it doesn't come out in a sale while you have the coupon and you can get the season pass on top.

TOKYO / LONDON / LOS ANGELES (Aug. 15, 2016) – To deliver the iconic FINAL FANTASY experience to audiences around the world, SQUARE ENIX® today announced that the global release date for FINAL FANTASY® XV will be November 29, 2016.

This release date will allow the development teams time to further polish and conduct quality testing so that the reality of the game can match the expectations of both the fans and the creative teams.

“From the moment we joined this project, our vision was to create a level of freedom and realism previously unseen in the series. Regrettably, we need a little bit more time to deliver on this vision and are confident that this new release date will help us achieve this,” said Hajime Tabata the game director. “As the director and lead of this project, I wish to personally apologize for the additional wait. As a team, we want FINAL FANTASY XV to achieve a level of perfection that our fans deserve. We kindly ask for your understanding.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wepgwx_9kto

quote:

Summary of the Tabata statement from the video:

- FFXV went gold the other day, and that was planned to be the version they ship on Sept 30.
- That version of the game will be playable at Gamescom, and they are cutting a 30 minute gameplay video to be released on Aug 16 showcasing the performance of that version.
- They planned a massive Day One Patch for the game which would further polish the game and fix lingering issues.
- But they have decided that instead of pressing the current gold master and delivering a day one patch, they will instead wait and use that completed version as the final gold master.
- Hence the game will be delayed to Nov 29, but they will be adding even more stuff on top of the planned fixes of the day one patch.

tl;dr - The game is delayed because they believe not everyone has internet connectivity and they don't want them to be left out of the perfect FFXV experience when the game ships to stores.

Man, I was looking forward to taking a three day weekend to just play the hell out of the game since it had a weird Friday release but now it comes out on a Tuesday like normal :(

They gonna add the season pass on the disc too, since not everyone has internet and we wouldn't want to deprive them of the full final fantasy experience?

PS4 firmware 4.00 should be coming soon, bringing FOLDERS!

Also, not related to the 4.00 firmware, today-ish Australia-New Zealand should be getting 2FA, and the other regions should be getting it next week. Only SMS authentication right now but better than the nothing of before. PS3 and I guess PSP (and maybe Vita?) won't directly support 2FA and use a randomized device code instead.

Nah dawg, that's the fuller FFXV experience, not the full FFX experience. Fuller costs extra.

Yeah but I would only get to play the game on the last day which is silly.

Also it would be a six or seven day weekend because that's the Tuesday after thanksgiving so I won't have work the previous Thursday/Friday.

I just took a four day weekend to watch TI6 and it was pretty great, I feel like that confirms that a six or seven day weekend would be even better.

But I'd still only get one or two days of that to play XV :(

I took days off for FF13's launch. And while I didn't/don't hate that game, it is still a black mark on my record.

Oooooooooooh!

While I like the premise of XV (guy road trip), the engine that they're using seems pretty unoptimized and choppy. I feel like DigitalFoundry is going to tear the game's performance apart. Also, the battle system is still looking unsatisfying, like you're just flailing around while holding down the attack button. A lot of the time in the gameplay videos, the camera is awkwardly moving around and the characters just look confused while they're fighting.

I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

Same.

I took off two weeks. Granted, it was the first and only time I'll ever take that much time off again, but still.

Least I won an FFXIII faceplate for my now-gone 360 at the launch event I went to.
