I'll put a counterpoint to this, if you like zoning out to Batman when you're doing other poo poo, it's a great deal.

There's an absurd amount of challenge rooms and skins and whatever that come with the season pass (just try browsing the DLC in-game, it takes forever), but it's really kind of hit or miss if it's something you'll actually be in to.

Last page, but I'll chime in too. I got the DLC because the bundle was on sale, and i almost bought the base game for the same price earlier, so I didn't mind. There is alot of DLC, but for the base game it is better to stick with the vanilla outfit anyways, since you miss out on the progressive damage his outfit shows. Also, while the challenge rooms are great, it is annoying that there isn't a easy way to swap out skins. It would be fun to dress up differently for each challenge without having to back out to the main menu each time.

So was the discount code from Play2016 supposed to be 12 characters? Trying to redeem it on the PSN Store right now and it's giving me the "nah this isn't a long enough code to even enter into the system"

It's ten and it's supposed to go in a discount box during checkout.

Also you guys who ordered abzu and bound, you guys are like me and the system isn't showing you ordered abzu and bound despite that you did. It's a glitch.

Hit up the chat and provide them your account name and order numbers for abzu and bound. They'll get you straightened up like me.

How do you do, fellow Regis?
My Ps+ auto-renewed for a year (even though I am positive I switched auto renew off on the day that I bought it), I had no intention of renewing due to the lacklustre games the past year (only one I enjoyed was Gone Home, a game that takes 3 hours to complete).

What are my chances of getting a refund?

The Giant Bomb QL of The Bunker made it look pretty interesting. It's a British FMV adventure game that takes place 30 years after a nuclear war. You play a young man who was born in the titular bunker just as the bombs were being dropped.

I've read up on Street Fighter V and it sounds like the season pass is just "time saver" DLC for stuff you can already unlock in-game (plus a few exclusive costumes). Is that correct? Just wondering since the Deluxe version of SFV is the only one on sale right now. No problem waiting for a deal on the base game if I'm not missing out on anything important.

Season pass is the 6 dlc characters which you would have to pay for otherwise(or big grinding on fight money), a stage(guiles) and with the new patch upcoming thursday it will unlock the bulk of the colours for the characters that you normally have to grind for.

You can technically unlock the characters by playing but if you wanted to get them without buying you'd have to win something like 6000 ranked matches.

I don't have one, but assuming it's the same as other Chrome implementations, try and override the user agent:

If that works as a one-off then consider finding an extension to manage the user agent setting from the Chrome Web Store.

You get enough FM to buy a couple of characters from just doing everyone's story mode + easy survival, and this week's patch is adding daily missions that hand out FM. We don't know how much you can reliably get a day without having to farm, though.

Well, yes and no. The season pass gets you the six DLC characters (5 out now, 1 out this week) and an extra premium costume for each of them. You can technically buy all the characters with in-game money, along with non-premium costumes, stages, and colors. However, it's a big uphill grind. On your first time through the story mode, a few survival runs, character story playthroughs, you should have enough to get 1 character free.

Unfortunately, you can't repeat single player content to get money, only multiplayer. There are supposed to be daily challenges added this week to get money, otherwise you'll need to win ranked or casual matches. You'd need like 1000 victories to get each character free. I'd say if you have any interest playing the dlc characters, just get the deluxe version.

Uh considering the alternative is them just charging you for the character with no way to potentially get it for free, I think its Good, instead.
