Hell yeah! Can't wait to play it then.

Edit: I love the Amazon.co.jp review for it that says: 'the artist for this game draws porn. This game is for moe pigs!'

Edit2: And yet Common Sense Media gave it a glowing review with full points for 'positive message' and 'good role model' and only 2 marks in the 'sex' category. :psyduck:

People who posts reviews on Amazon.jp are insane.

That's said Platcha's outfits alone deserve more than 2 points in 'sex'.

They're just giving the people what they want. Remember we chose Grow Home instead of Armello.

Hm. I may as well bite the bullet on that one, 30 clams for witcher seems like an amazing deal. Or would it be better to wait for a sale on the complete edition? I just realized that was the complete edition. Thanks for being bad mobile psn.

Armello was a board game ish strategy title we didn't get on Plus. It had about 23k users on Steam in the last two weeks compared to Grow Home's 5k or so, though roughly twice as many people own Grow Home. A long tail game is always going to lose out with USA console players because of our emphasis on up-front plays. I would assume for Plus we get low replay value games that attract more downloads, because more downloads is seen as more successful.

On the other hand we got Rocket League and that has had ridiculous longevity so it's not an immutable rule or something. And for what it's worth Grow Home reviewed quite a bit better all around so it wasn't really the "wrong" choice.

Im 2/3rds through and its not as good imo. Its sequelitis pretty much. Theres more of everything to do in terms of collection but the core gameplay is worse. Encounters are shorter and easier, dialog and va is awful and lara never ever stops talking through the whole game, the open maps are just littered with pointless crap to grab, you are forced to walk slow or limp for long periods constantly for story purposes, etc.

The battle arenas in the first were just better and more challenging and it had the perfect amount of exploration. The only really big improvement in rise is that there are way fewer qte's.

Like i'm over half way through the game on a hard difficulty and im having encounters with 2 enemies still.

Yeah, I don't know what it is about the game, but it just hasn't been grabbing me like the first one did. It's not bad at all, but it just doesn't have the same magic for whatever reason.

It started out as $30, then they boosted the price to $50 because they were adding more "content".

As much as I love fallout, I guess I will wait for the inevitable discount special goty that has all dlc + the game for pennies. Definitely gonna grab Witcher though. That's loving stupid from a business standpoint. God Bethesda is being bad with this.

I'm guessing the plot veers into stupidity after the initial bombing + waking up from cryo? I got to play it for a bit on a friend's console and then got to the part with power armor near the start. Then I used said armor to punch out the deathclaw.

Normally Bethesda writing just makes me roll my eyes, but 4 was the first one that actually made me turn off the game for six months and eventually come back to it. At least having a mod that lets me see what dialogue I'm actually picking helps me feel a little bit more in control, but the fact that there's only one way for the Kellogg confrontation to go is just Not Fallout to me.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
The day Sony puts Knack up as a PS+ freebie is the day I purchase a PS5.

Also, in FFXV DLC codes, SE support sent me and what appears to be everyone else who completed the Roadtrip promotion a new set of codes. The system works!

Betheda's fallout obsession with parents and children is such a pile of crap for the sort of story telling that should be happening in a fallout game about emerging into a new and foreign world and even though i'm a life long east coaster, the whole point of the series meshes with the wide open wastes and spirit of opportunity of the west so much better than dc/boston city scapes

I recall the game, the DLCs or expansions or whatever, and the Complete Edition being on sale during the Black Friday sale or Flash Sale, whichever one it was.

Think it was the Black Friday sale.

Well, I was able to redeem the code I got from Amazon, but not the codes I got from the Roadtrip promotion. The email I got says I can redeem the codes immediately, but no dice. I got two Roadtrip-unlocking codes from Amazon for some reason; I used one and gave the other to a goon. I hope that's not the problem, but it never gave me an error along the way and I don't think it would give the same DLC codes for two different Roadtrip codes. Lots of codes in this problem.

I sent an email to SquareEnix's support to see if they can assist. Not getting the DLC isn't going to be a gamebreaker, but I jumped through the hoops and now I want my treat. I had a similar problem with a promotion Amazon was running with Final Fantasy XIV but never followed up with it.

Hey bro they sent me extra codes (sans the chocobo) and I was able to redeem them fine. Either use the website or the psn and I can give you my extras if you need it
