Well this is an underwhelming flash sale

Seems like someone says this whenever AAA games go on deep discount. I'll take this kind of sale any day.

edit: also holy poo poo Kings Quest is still in development? I gave up on that ages ago.

Well they've got Tokyo Ghost Hunters marked down. Is that any good? I've heard it's mediocre but just how mediocre is it?

There's some stuff from my wish list on there, of course the sale will be over before I find out I didn't get any of them :smith:

Lol that they think the Marvel Ultimate Alliance bundle is worth $60 retail and $40 separately tho

Wow, this is the worst flash sale they've had in a long time. That could have been part of the normal weekly sale. I expected a lot better for the Christmas flash sale.

Don't take this as gospel because it's also going by hearsay, but I was under the impression a lot of the issues were things that were there to begin with.

Also this flash sale is garbo and I'd rather have a bunch of slightly older but still quality games on sale for cheap than new games that are still priced at a decent chunk of change.

Kind of. Kings Quest just finished. All the episodes are out.l

I'm tempted to grab WoFF but I know the disc will be cheaper on Amazon soon enough.

Did someone at Sony gently caress up, or does this flash sale seriously not have PS+ discounts on top of the normal discount? I don't think I've ever seen them do that before.

Slain is decent if you're after an old school hardcore Castlevania type game, but it goes a bit too hard on 'haha this is going to kill you a lot' stuff, whereas the games it's emulating seemed more tough but fair.

You have a better chance of Sony finally giving up and just putting PS1 games on PS4 than Konami actually giving a poo poo.

Man, the PSP had some cool games that no one played because they were on the PSP. It's worse that he companies that made them (especially Capcom) took them flipping as a sign to never try again. What I wouldn't give for them to finally make Mega Man Powered Up 2 or at least just a port of Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins.

Yes? More so if you liked the older computer games. It's got charm but it's not great. I paid full price and my wife loved playing through it, but I can't say that everyone will have the same experience.

On the other hand, the company behind it has done some lovely poo poo, like taking the money they got to do a Homestuck game and spending it on King's Quest instead, or something to that effect.

I too paid full price and enjoyed the old school adventure game goodness. It's like comfort food. If you have ever played and enjoyed the old games, you will absolutely get a kick out of these.

On the other hand If you've not played the originals I'd recommend watching some YouTube of them before you pull the trigger.

Does the reboot also have thousands of ways to die, or did they realize how terrible that was in the old ones?

Nahh it's more modern in the sense that you can't really lose the game. You just won't progress any further until you solve the puzzles. It's nothing groundbreaking at all but the story is charming enough and I never felt like it was a waste of money.

Who's dumb rear end idea was it to only allow you to restore your save game data if the game is installed on the PS4?

My ps+ expires tomorrow, so of course I'd install my new hard drive and only back up my saves to the cloud. I'm now installing every game I ever owned just so I can restore save files.
