20% expired yesterday anyway. Don't think there's any coupons but you might have gift cards this weekend from Christmas. Or other joyous holidays that result in you getting gift cards.

Week 3 of the sale is up, it kinda sucks unless you don't already have Bloodborne or you really wanted to get the Battlefront season pass for some reason.

I actually don't have Bloodborne, AND i got a free $10 voucher yesterday.

Is the Bloodborne DLC worth spending 15 extra bucks for the complete edition?

Yep, it's a massive expansion pack and has really cool boss fights.

Old Hunters is basically a greatest hits of Bloodborne taking place in a hosed up version of an already hosed up version of Yarnham. Its story is a little more overt than the regular game, though still plenty veiled.

Everyone else touched on its other awesome parts: best bossfights, best weapons.

Oh yeah, the first boss's theme is so damned good, on par with the music for the last boss of the game. Well, depending on what ending you're after.

If you liked the first game you'll like this one. It's fan service. One of my favorite games this year and a steal at 12 bucks.

I recommend turning Runner Vision to 'Classic' mode.

Yeah, I was all set to buy it on release but now I'm probably just going to wait for a sale. $15 or even $20 and I'd have been fine but even with the new stages the game's too short for a $30 price tag imo.

Agreed 100%. In fact I pretty much made this post in another thread. The game is a bit short and I didn't like the final boss all that much but other than that it's really fun and gorgeous to look at. Not as good as Pirate's Curse and not as ambitious as the original but it's still worth the $20 imo

I clocked at 7 hours with 100%. The game feels more like a sequel to Risky's revenge with more transformations.

Headlander was brought up earlier, and I just wanna add to that discussion by saying that it is easily the best Double Fine game in that not only is the humor and weirdness of it good, but it also incorporates that into the gameplay and ends up being a really fun metroidvania.

Also if you have Bloodborne and don't have the DLC you are missing out on what is probably the best stuff from that game. I will say that the final boss of the DLC is really loving tough (but also fantastic in pretty much every way).

Also the REAL final boss is optional and hosed in a totally different way. I did the DLC the first time on NG++ so it was pretty hard and ended up summoning for that boss, and beat it with a guy that had a loving minigun which I didn't even know was a thing you could get and it ruled.

Siege is apparently the successor to Counterstrike G.O. in terms of dev mindset. It's a long term project that has gained in popularity since its messy launch.

There are goons that have said it's like CS meets The Last of Us: Factions, deliberate and very team oriented. It looks cool, but at this point I think I'd be jumping into too elite a community to have enough fun. Also, there's no way I could convince all my friends to buy it.

This guy has a cool longform review of it beyond the summer patches

R6 Siege is worth buying just for the Terrorist Hunt mode, which you can play solo or co-op against AI. Clearing a building of terrists with a mate is supremely good times, you get all the good parts of the gameplay without the need to deal with online gamers who've spent a year learning how to gently caress you.

Looking at the sales on right now, Bloodborne is $8, or $20 with the DLC, which is highly recommended. I'd also recommend Shadows of Mordor, which is $11 and a lot of fun.

Are you coming from PS3 or Xboxland or neither? Like you want PS4 exclusive or any current gen console stuff?

If you didn't have a PS3: Last of Us Remastered and Journey. And seconding Infamous Second Son.

All should be pretty cheap.

Me too. I got my PS4 over Thanksgiving. Bought a few games off the PS Store and I figured it was a "Thanks for spending $100, here is $10 on us" kind of thing.

That said, I used it to get Bloodborne. It's marked down to $7.99.

I wasn't crazy about the Dark Souls games but for that price (free) I'll give it a shot. As of right now I only have Sony exclusives.

My girlfriend and I are super into Until Dawn. Everyone get it.

I enjoyed it a lot. $60 might have been too much to ask when it came out (but that's always relative); however, it's basically a playable horror B-movie, and as long as you don't take it more seriously than the game does, I think it does pretty well. plus it actually does a neat thing with the motion control/lightbar, and how many games can really say that?
