So if you're a member of Sony Rewards and completely forgot about it like I did you may want to check your email. I had spent enough on PSN for a gift card, apparently. The points expire, so it may be worth it to check into it.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
That video explains the price and the lot, under any other publisher it'd been a $60 with shoehorned DLC. Onto the shoppinglist.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I'm gonna wait for reviews on HELLBLADE but the concept sounds interesting and I'm surprised it's ready to go in August.

Looks like persona, but girls only. Also running on Koei's janky rear end engine that they use for everything.

I loved Heavenly Sword, Enslaved was.... okay...ish. I hated DMC with every fiber of my being. I might pick the game up at half price if the reviews are positive.

From what I've read, Hellblade is more focused on the story and presentation than the combat system. You don't level up or unlock new moves or w/e, it's just there to serve the rest of the experience. It sounds like they're leaning on their strengths here. The project sounds risky and ambitious so I'm holding out for reviews too, but the concept has me really intrigued. I hope they achieve what they're trying to do with it.

Do you think Heavenly Sword holds up today? I haven't had a PS3 until this year and I'm kinda curious.

I didn't like the core design. If you render a space in the full 3d and let me aim in there let me explore is in the way I want to. They hybrid was weird. Wasn't too bad though.

Not really, no. But I do think it's pretty entertaining. The game is very linear and short, but that was kind of the point. It's probably the one game I've played that has come the closest to being a movie, in terms of pacing and length. Also, Andy Serkis is absolutely wonderful as the main villlain. This cannot be overstated. I think most of the actors do a decent job - the bad guys are these really weird, over-the-top saturday cartoon villains and really entertaining in their haminess, but Serkis is in another league. I could replay the game just to watch him chew up the scenery.

The gameplay itself is flashy but pretty shallow. Don't expect DMC, or even God of War here. But the animations are top-notch for their time and there are some neat setpieces. Do NOT try to unlock everything if you value your sanity. I have no idea how I managed it back in the day.

If you're interested, by all means get it for cheap. If nothing else get it for Serkis and the historical value.

It's also a rare example of a fantasy setting that isn't just medieval Europe with magic.

Counterpoint: the dlc is quite good and adds a new weapon, which you don't have to wait till the dlc to use.

Edit: In addition to the new weapon, it's an additional endgame area.

IIRC it's like a 6-10 hour campaign and that's it. That's why they're pricing it at $30.

i just realized we are days from e3 and sony hasnt said any 1st party games have slipped their announced year like they always do ahead of time (uncharted/hzd) but then realized the only huge sony game left thats actually announced for 2017 is uncharted4.5

Imo they already killed this year so the rest is gravy but we are potentially gonna get another year like this in 2018 if gow, spiderman, daysgone, all launch and are solid titles
