Gravity Rush remastered is a cool 12 bucks now on the PS Store as part of the Golden Week sales, if you're like me and was waiting for a price drop.

Is picking up Yakuza Kiwami as part of the same sale (18 bucks) AND getting Yakuza 0 a good idea? If so, is there any order I should play them in?

Hell yeah. Play Y0 then Kiwami, Y0 is a great entry point and they added stuff in the remake referencing Y0. Y0 was my first Yakuza game and I'm playing Kiwami now and i'm hooked

I'm thinking about using my 20% discount code on FFXV Royal Edition since it's on sale this week. Is the base game itself worth the price, as well as all the season pass content?

Without question. The base game alone will last you eons if you get into it. And I personally think it's a very fun game.

Take me to your Shida

FFXV is very good even without the expansions plus you get all the stuff they added to the base game because they were pretty much forced to launch it unfinished.

I feel like the one person who thinks the game couldn't be made as it is without open world. Backup, Back Down is the obvious one, but other missions like the one where you are intercepting people as they are being transported are others.

I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much without the opportunity to just go do something else, and stumble into other things to do. There are sections of terrain that are obviously meant to guide and restrict you so it wouldn't work as a just cause sort of open world. The only thing I really wanted after beating MGSV (until Kojima left) was the other games remade in the engine, didn't really expect a clean resolution since the entire game exists to fill in a plot hole.

Super late to the party but I just picked up MGSV on sale. It's....interesting. Everything has this weird almost-but-not-quite metal gear vibe. I never thought I'd miss David hayter as Snake so much. Combined with the fact that Snake barely says anything, it feels like a tv show where they replaced one of the characters half way through and just hope nobody notices.

Also found it really funny how you're THE Big Boss, but you spend the first few hours getting bossed around and not saying anything about it.

I would not watch or read anything about MGSV if you can avoid it!!!!

Licensing I guess.

FWIW if you download them on the profile they're redeemed under you can still play them just fine on your regular one. I've got games from 3 different regions and I only ever play them on my normal U.K. account.

It’s worth it to beat the average of 11.53 and save 30 bucks off Yakuza 0 and also get some other stuff.

my favorite little thing in GoW is that there's a toggle for turning of button mash QTEs and just making you hold a button instead. nice!

GoW is extremely fair all around and caters to however you want to experience the game. It’s a very refreshing approach. It never holds your hand but also never insults the player or tries to waste your time for the sake of the “real experience”.

Well, except the stupid nornir chests.
But yes, it has good settings. You can change button layouts, customize the HUD, sound settings, gameplay, etc. All fairly common stuff for AAA games, but I think it still is one of those things that get overlooked a lot. Maybe i'm a weirdo who cares about that, but if you expect me to spend tens of hours on your game you should throw in some options so i can tailor it a bit to my liking and comfort.

Burnout Paradise Remastered is on sale, so I bought it. Should you buy it if you have a PC that run that version? Probably not. The remaster does include all of Paradise's DLC, which you can't get on PC, but the remaster is half-assed. It's just an up-res, and a different color filter on base PS4. Zero quality-of-life tweaks were made, not even fast travel to a garage.

Paradise holds up well. I appreciate the depth of the world more now, given the technical constraints of open-world games a decade ago. And the multiplayer loop when you have a good lobby, going from event to event, is still so much fun.

Still I'm sad after finishing Paradise, because there won't be another game like it. Arcade racers are on life support, and Criterion has been gutted into an EA support studio.

I think FFXV sucks and you should get a different JRPG instead. The story's a mess and requires you to watch movies to get important plot points, the characters barely have any personality and the combat is only serviceable to annoying.

Yeah, FFXV is a lot of fun, and the new content ranges from 'pretty okay' to 'really good'.

I was thinking since the beginning "drat these controls are almost the same as dark souls I wish I could swap x and o." Didn't even bother to check until 20 hours in, and sure enough you can just play with Dark Souls controls. Wish I had thought to check before getting used to x as dodge.

Meaning you have the newest firmware on a USB stick that you downloaded on a PC and you're trying to use it to set up the PS4?
