No, there's very little substance to it. $10-and-below material, if that.

I mean it's better than $40 but it's still a game that's a poor shadow of its obvious influence and can't even get Chrono Trigger's simple combat right.

i took a gamble on nioh deluxe edition having decent dlc with my holiday psn card haul today.

hopefully they continue to channel fromsoft when they get around to making the 3 promised story dlcs but KT usually has lame dlc so who knows if the 20 extra dollars it cost will be worth it. :pray:

Yeah, gameplay-wise it's pretty much Bayonetta. You can tell overall it was a rush job but it's still fun as hell.

devestation is good but its obviously a budget title the combat is taken right out of bayo with a few tweaks so you'll probably like it but its scope is very narrow.

I got Little Big Planet 2 for my wife and I to play. A few questions:

Is the normal game itself fun? Or was this more popular due to the user made content?
And the servers are still up and stuff right? I can still download all the user made stuff?
And if that's still possible is there a list of 'must play' user levels?

Speaking from my PS3 experience, I thought the campaign was pretty fun and charming although I liked LBP1's campaign more. It's certainly a fun game to couch play with. Counterpoint, it wasn't rare to read others didn't like LBP1 or LBP2's campaigns so YMMV but I thought they were very well done and LBP1's music in particular was great.

I'm feeling pretty sure that the created level servers are working but it might be tricky to sort the wheat from the chaff. When I played it originally I relied on websites like http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?117-LBP2-Everything-Else-LittleBigPlanet-2 or similar for recommended levels. I would youtube or google up a must play list and see what's out there, and follow other levels by those creators. That's probably going to net you the most fun. There were some extremely dedicated creators who squeezed everything out of LBP2.

If you've played the old Odin Sphere the new one is like night and day with combat alone.

To wit, it's VERY good at its combat mechanics. Fighting in it may be even more satisfying than Bayo 2, just from how visceral the combat feels. Attacks feel heavy, transform attacks have this crunchy sound effect, and smashing up Constructicons and sword-fighting Starscream is incredibly fun.

There's even a lot of various boss battles! Mostly duels, but they definitely try their best to fit as much content and character as they could, and it sets up an even cooler sequel that will likely never be.

In general Sony have been really been skimping on the Vita and PS3 sales for months now. This should be the time they're trying to wring the last money they can get out of last gen so it's annoying that nothing on there is ever on sale.

Yeah, as somebody who just got a PS3 and Vita within the past year to save some cash, these past two months of sales have been a pretty depressing trend

Pretty sure they want you to abandon the PS3, and have calculated exactly the pressure to apply, sales-wise.

I just got a PS3 in October and got a ton of PS1 games and stuff like the Jak collection for a song in the sales leading up to Black Friday but the sales that seemed like they should be larger events have been terrible. It's weird.

Pretty much this. There've been some good sales on PS1 games, though nothing quite equaling that one insane flash sale where everything was a dollar from a couple years ago.
