Nawid posted:The free PS+ games have hit a all time low (and I don't think the PS4 is too new excuse is valid as it isn't really that new anymore plus even the ps4 games have been better in the past. There's not much you can do with the PS3 and Vita, since nothing new is coming out for them, but i'm so glad Sony went the route of so often including brand-new indie/low-budget games with PS Plus. I play a ton of games on PS4 and the last thing I want is moldy-oldies like Killzone and Knack gifted to me. My schedule for proper gaming is pretty filled up by recent games and the winter back-log. It's nice to get a couple of games each month in a genre I may not be too into as a brief distraction and an excuse to try something different. Most of last year's games have had maybe an hour or two of playtime, with the odd stand-out like Broken Age and Rocket League. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Yoya posted:some new ps4 pre orders are hitting 84.99 on amazon.ca so that might be the new baseline msrp These days publishers often drop the price to $50 in retail sales within a month of release to combat the used game market. There is zero chance I'd spend nearly $100 (after taxes) on a new game. At least we still have PS+ and some store sales on par with the US dollar.

Policenaut posted:Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13 Oh, that's interesting. I've been keeping an eye out for a good deal on Nobunaga's Ambition. I know both of these series' are pretty deep strategy games. Is one a bit simpler than the other? I'm a bit more educated on Japanese history, but if Romance of the 3 Kingdoms is more beginner-friendly I may wait for that one.

There's a Playstation 'Essentials' (ie: "old') games sale on. Activision still trying it's damndest to get people to pay over $20 for it's lovely Spider-man game. I've been waiting for a good deal on AC: Black Flag, since I love the sailing bits and sea chanties so much. I'd quit it half-way though back in the day because the rest of the game is Assassin's Creed. It's on sale for $20 with or without the DLC.

I would have said yes but I've just learned that not only are there no new sea shanties included with the DLC, the crew on your ship in that campaign don't sing at all! Going to wait for a $10 bare-bones edition, personally.

rabidsquid posted:Yeah Persona 4 is an extremely slow starting game. It's not even a really extended tutorial, just a lot of story happens before you really get access to dungeons I'd say it's slow in general. P4 would have been twice as good if it were half the length.

CrashCat posted:gently caress yeah, getting this on my PS4 right now. Then gonna get tired of using Google Translate after like three screens Just spent an hour or so with it and it's quite nice! It has that classic Japanese RPG tutorial style that sorta assumes you don't know how to read while teaching you to play. Little icons for what you need next, pictures of the buttons you need to press to make it happen and highlighted text for keywords. If you have a basic understanding of Minecraft it's a cinch!

No Wolverine means I'm waiting for a 50% sale. Had a good time with my kids playing the previous Lego Marvel game though. The only one I've ever liked enough to give more than half an hour of my time. Sounds like the city hub is even better this time around too.

Feenix posted:Is good? People talk it up a lot so I want it but I just still don't really know what kind of game it is. To me, Gravity Rush was the best thing on the Vita by a country mile. I loved it. The flight/falling controls take some getting used to, but once you do it's exhilarating. If you aren't sure, it might be worth waiting for a sale or a demo, because some people really seem to dislike the combat, but I found it fun as hell, mainly because it's so different. A lot of strategies you might use in other action games just don't work here. It's tough at first but once you've leveled up your combat and gravity skills (both in-game and through practice) you can be a whirlwind of destruction.

I think interest in that lasted about two seconds, and now Armello is probably dead too. Ruined their chance by having to pay for it My kids and I had a really good time with Grow Home. The only reason I didn't try to 100% it after beating the campaign was because the Trophies sounded like a nightmare with those wonky controls.

Faux Mulder posted:This is true and I'm sure Firewatch, Unravel and The Witness will be cheap as poo poo before this time next year if not PS+ free games, but I prefer to buy stuff I'm really interested in on launch. It supports the devs more, both directly and through demonstration of a market to publishers and investors. Definitely. The FIFAs and the Assassin's Creeds are the ones you wait for a good sale on. Games that are obviously a labor of love are worth the extra cash (to me).

I just wish there was cheap third party controllers like afterglow for the ps4, as I don't want to spend $75 on a controller thats rarely going to get used. Seems I can get controllers cheaper online though, still doesn't change the fact Canadian fun bucks are worth about as much as the monopoly money they appear to be. Well, they're on sale for $61 on Amazon.ca right now, and have been as low as $50. $75 is way too much though.

I tried so much to love the new Divinity (especially since I backed the Kickstarter), but ended up hating it. The inventory system is beyond awful, but worse are the random difficulty spikes. I was literally digging a hole in the first city looking for a grave, and some kinda Level 9999 monster popped out and wiped my party in 2 seconds. Another time I was pushed back a few steps by a monster and my party ended up stepping on a bit of lava. Killing them all instantly. I found it slow and frustrating. The Trophies are terribly designed too.

flesh dance posted:Hi thread, I've always wanted to check out Noby Noby Boy, but never had a PS3 in my house until now. I just looked it up and it seems like growing and reporting in was a huge part of the game, is there any point to playing now that it's "complete?" I love games like that. Loved Noby Noby Boy. I'm pretty sure you can continue growing Girl, but I don't have my PS3 to check. You could try Journey, Flower and Flow. Hohokum is really great if you like that type of game too. Katamari Damacy is somethign special if you've never tried that. There are some others like DeTuned and Linger in Shadows that are pretty out there. I liked them, back when they came out, but I did a lot more drugs back then too.

I remember reading reviews that said the framerate dropped to single digits when poo poo got crazy. Maybe that was the Xbox version? Either way, $35 seems a pretty good price.

The slowness of EGttRapture is clearly engine limitations. The game does look great, but even that tiny bit of extra speed you get from holding the 'run' button causes noticeable pop-in.
