SNK gave me a free Athena Christmas theme with unique illustration, song, and icons. Thank you, SNK! If you are in EU, search for Athena DLC for KOF14, it's a pack of two PS4 themes + one costume for the game.

Kinda knew This War of Mine would be free since it just got a big update on Steam, but I still don't regret paying full price (twice) for it. Game is so good.

Jackbox Party Pack 3 has, among other things, a Quiplash version aka the best game by them, TeeKO, a game that allows you to make shirts you can literally buy, and a slasher themed trivia game with a side of loving over your friends, so it's good fun. Really excited for This War of Mine. It looks like the kind of dreadful, tonally, that I am all for.

It's too bad Jackbox 1 isn't on sale. If you don't have any Jackbox games, the Party Pack 1 is the one to get. There's a couple bad games in there, but the combination of Fibbage, Drawful, and the full version of YDKJ 2011 is good fun. I'm bummed that Pack 3 is $16 and Pack 2 is $10 in this sale. Both Pack 1 and 2 have been $5 in previous sales, even shortly after release. I was hoping to pick up Pack 3 at some point for cheap, but it seems like they're becoming less inclined to do deep discounts on those games than in previous years.

Kurtofan posted:how's the megaman legacy collection? it's pretty cheap and I've never played those games. That Mega Man collection is a proper port; an accurate and cheap way to play those games. If Mega Man is the sort of game you'd like though, that's for you to know, but seeing as you are into Donkey Kong, you'll probably like it. Start with Mega Man 2 and 3. Metal Slug is awesome but that anthology thing is poo poo because it's just an emulated PS2 title which was already known for having input lag, so it's much worse now.

It runs at 1080p/60fps like 99.9% of the time so yes.

I can really only allow myself to buy one game from this sale, and I'm deciding between Doom or Bloodborne. I don't care about length of the game, just the experience, and Doom seems like a hoot.

Doom is amazing. Bloodborne is probably my favourite game on PS4 but I'd go with DOOM unless you're a massive Souls fan.

The cost of entry in skill and time is higher with Bloodborne but the payoff is greater.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm leaning towards Doom, especially after watching some Bloodborne videos. It looks like a game I should like in theory but might end up hating in practice.

Bloodborne has points where you'll spend a few hours playing and maybe accomplish one thing that qualifies as "progress" in the traditional sense. It's very rewarding when you hit those walls and finally manage to climb over them, but it's an investment as others have said. DOOM by contrast moves really fast (literally and figuratively). Outstanding games but easy to see how a person might prefer one over the other. Source: I am currently playing Bloodborne and DOOM for the first time

I normally enjoy character action games like DMC and Ninja Gaiden, but there was just something about the old Souls games that didn't click with me. That combined with the harsh checkpoint system made it hard to bother with the effort. I really would like to get into the series though.

If you didn't like DeS or DaS you probably won't like Bloodborne. It's a little faster paced than the Souls games but not anywhere near the pace of DMC or Ninja Gaiden. The checkpoint system is basically the same as well, just replacing bonfires with lanterns.

MisterAlex posted:If you didn't like the Souls games, I really doubt you'd enjoy Bloodborne. It's the "best" in that it's a further iteration on the same style of game. If you do consider getting it, I'd really suggest borrowing or renting a copy first unless you just find a really cheap deal or something. On the other hand, I've heard a ton of anecdotes about people who didn't really get the souls games, but loved Bloodborne (and then went back and loved the rest of them too)
