Is there likely to be any more PSN sales between now and Christmas or is what's up, it? I could possibly throw a 20% code out there because I don't think I'm going to use mine.

The holiday sale this week is just week 1, I think there will be 4 weeks maybe?

It says 'Holiday Sale Week One' on the banner but some of the stuff on there says it's discounted through like 1/9, which makes me wonder if it'll just add more stuff in the next couple weeks?

20% code expires on 12/25 though, so I hope some good poo poo goes on sale this week. Like, I wanna try Dragon's Dogma after goons sang its praises but I don't want to $25 try it, you know?

Man, if anthem turns out to be even a mediocre exosuit game I'll probably buy it because mech games don't scratch the same itch.

The suit is just a thing to customize your space marine barbie doll as usual, preferably by spending real money. You can fly and go underwater but otherwise it's Destiny.

It may very well be. I was commenting on the frantic tone of people's posts not the actual game.


I've only played the first one, but I feel like at least in regards to shooting, it has less to do with Dice and more to do with Star Wars. Shooting usually feels great in their games but I think Battlefront suffered from having to stay true to the source material, and pew pew isn't particularly satisfying compared to the guns of modern games.

Not to be contrary for contrariness sake, but I really can't stand the way shooting feels in any of the DICE games for some reason. I much prefer the way it feels in CoD and Destiny, and it makes it extremely difficult for me to enjoy other shooters. The fact that even the lightsaber heroes control like poo poo is just more icing on the cake. The only mode that feels halfway good control wise is the spaceship one.

Imo DICE shooting is an acquired taste. Something like COD is immediately satisfying where in Battlefield you kind of have to practice with guns to some degree, and there's all sorts of crazy variables coming in to play. I wouldn't want all games to have shooting like Battlefield but I'm glad that it exists and I think it works the best for giant open maps. But yeah, I can pick up something like Titanfall or COD and I'm immediately having a good time shooting whit, whereas with DICE games I always have to slog through a few hours of misery before it starts to feel like second nature.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Even with Destiny 1/2's weird-rear end development and the way they turned out, at least Bungie has really good, satisfying console shooting mechanics to carry them to a halfway fun game. After playing The Division and Andromeda I can't fathom Bioware's Destiny being any fun to play as a shooter.

Horizon chat. Always bothered me that nobody thinks Aloy is a witch for controlling machines. You show up to a new tribe and leave a mount that literally kills people in the middle of town. Nobody bats an eye.

I'm looking to buy a high octane action game in the next weeks of sale to balance the JRPG-ness of Persona5 and FFXV, what would be recommended?

Already have Titanfall 2 and DOOM on PC.

I have it! It's a good recommendation but it's also pretty stressful and I took a little break to play other things, but will definitely come back.




nachos posted:

I also have FURI on PC and if it's an indie game like Nex Machina I'll probably prefer to get it there too, better sales and prices.

I think I should specify the request, it should be either a console exclusive or high-end multiplat that my crappy PC can't run.
