Apologies to people who tried to get in PSGoons over christmas, I have been without Internet for a few weeks and couldn't add you in. If the network survives I'll get you in today or tomorrow


Man, it is the Dead Sea in those comments.

Is PSGoons a Community? I should try to join that I guess.

I wanted to get Xenogears but those graphics are just total crap, PS1 3d titles have really aged like poo poo.

Get Tomba and Suikoden 1 for things that've aged well.

Oh, and Breath of Fire 3.

Aw man it's 4? Thanks for nothing Reddit.

BoF3 is pretty, has great music, a cool catman, and a weird fairy game. It's the most anime PS1 game, and it's great.

Wow, can you believe they're remastering Vakyria Chronicles for PS4? Maybe I'll make it past that cursed tank this time...

$30 for the physical version with a special steelcase is pretty nice! Glad that they're discounting the remasters (this and Gravity Daze) recently.

Yeah, definitely either this Wednesday or Thursday.

Optimistic answer would be Crypt of the Necrodancer, but since it's being sold in Japan that's pretty unlikely.

I would love to play a simplified Diablo-like, with a Full Adult mode added where you get all the normal skill trees. All cartoon violence so you can play with a four year old.

The way I do things is play Arrival and Citadel literally after I beat the game and I dumps you back in the mp to finish up sidequests. Arrival is made to bridge ME2 and 3 while Citadel is a send off to the series and will generally leave you with a better impression of the game.

Yep, that's best. Sure, Citadel takes place before the ending of ME3, but play it afterwards as a personal goodbye. It's amazing.

Even when ps+ is subpar, you still get to keep paying the IGC. On a good month, your membership becomes more valuable. On a bad month it keeps its value.

I like Broforce though.

If I were to make guesses for upcoming months, it'd be Tales of the Borderlands and Infamous SS, aside from Indies.

Infamous 2 is so, so much better than SS. Sure, there are only the power sets, but I think the overall structure of those powers is more fun... Plus a plot that had more than a small handful of missions.

I bought Cyber Sleuth for $35 because gently caress it why not, I need another RPG to sink into.

Also everyone should buy Suikoden 2 and 3. 2 because it's one of the best RPGs ever made, and 3 because it's pretty good and $3, and buying both will hopefully lead them to finally get 4 and 5 on PSN. :argh:

What combo of things do I have to buy to make them release 5 before 4? No one needs 4.

Switch Galaxy... is that by WayForward? Any impressions?
Same for LocoRoco, is it pretty much the same for the PSP games?

The SUPER AWESOME edition of Trials is $15. That means it's Trials plus $30 of DLC. AKA, get that, it's great.

If you're not sure, get the demo of Trials Fusion. If you like that, get the game.

Also, get the demo of Rayman Legends.

Also, I know you only had $10, I'm sorry.

Oh poo poo, I might go for this. N++ still has plenty of content to satisfy my platformer needs.

I really love Trials Fusion. There's a ton of good content, and with the SUPER AWESOME edition you get every piece of "content" so there are no user-created levels that would be locked. That is, you will have everything in the game thus far.

Another sale incoming, this one "Superhero" themed.

No games listed yet, other than Injustice ($8/+$6) & Lego Marvel Avengers ($42/+$39).

I've never seen a Lego game keep its price for so long, it's kinda amazing.

Has anyone tried Moon Hunters? I backed it on KS but they haven't sent keys out yet it seems.

Just a shot in the dark, but is there any particular reason to expect there will be one of those "Spend $100, get $15" deals next month? I'm about to buy the Destiny DLC (for $30) which requires some other Destiny DLC (for $20), so that's $50 I may as well spend in September if I can get a deal. Otherwise, I spend it now because I get to play one of those DLCs early.

I'd probably buy PS+ with the other $50 and can thus feel like I'm getting a deal before the price shoots up.

Not actually an answer to your question but do you own the first two DLC's? You can't actually buy Taken King unless you own them, and thus have to buy the entire package for $60 which includes everything (even Rise of Iron).

Thanks for double checking! Yeah, I had the original season pass so it had DLC 1-2. I want to get back in with 4 (RoI), so I need to buy 3 (TTK).

OK. It might also be worth checking if you qualify for the upgrade pricing for the whole package (I think this depends on having the PS3 versions of stuff, but since they're mostly cross-buy you might); I'm pretty sure that's under $50.

Nope, unfortunately I was/am a PS4 player. Thanks again.

Technically I can save a dollar or two thanks to the preorder bonus at Amazon, of 20% off - so $48 for the complete collection at Amazon. But that's a $2 savings and you don't get the pretty-awesome Dynamic Theme.

Some of my favourite games are

- Half-Life 1,2 + episodes plus Portal 1+2
- Uncharted 1+2+3+4 and the Last of Us
- Limbo and Inside, Brothers scratched the itch of this niche as well

These might seem three or more different genres going on here, but there's a lot of commonality;

- these games are all single-player and narrative driven, and mechanically simple
- NOT open world or bloated
- however they don't go so far into the "not really a game" interactive movie idea as things like Quantic Dream/Telltale/Until Dawn
- all do environmental storytelling well and as such are very immersive
- are very "well-paced"; even the ones that are more action heavy (ie Half-Life, Uncharted) have quieter and puzzle moments so that they're not too repetitive
- the entirety of each of these games is exciting because you're always wondering what's next around the corner

What else would scratch this itch?

Tightly delivered narrative experiences. I can dig it.

The Swapper is a good environmental and haunting puzzle game.
What about character action games? Bayonetta isn't quite mechanically simple, but it has a great complexity curve. God of War works too.
Maybe the Bioshock Collection could work. The pacing isn't perfect but Bioshock 1 is a pretty great game for its majority.

So Final Fantasy XIV is $15 for the game, its expansion, and a free month.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UO4NL9Y?tag=dreldarion-20&th=1

Out of curiosity, what's actually in the package? I suppose it's a disc instead of a download code, but is the disc of any use to you if you don't have a sub? Is Heavensward something separate? I'm wondering if I can lend/sell it after my month, if I don't like it.

IMO, the games get worse as they go on, and Knight is TERRIBLE at easing you into it... it acts as if you were playing City the day before.

So play them in order. Or just play the first one.
