I bought a PS4 on the latest Black Friday sale and got a few games (Bloodborne, Journey and the Laura Croft co-op game, in addition to Battlefront that came with the system). Anything else I should get? I'd like some co-op games that I can play with my wife, she really liked Halo 4 when we had on the X360.

This one is probably a dumb question, but how often do AAA titles go on sale? Any chance to see a significant drop in the price of, say, Black Ops 3 or Arkham Knight?

EDF 4.1 is a ton of fun couch co-op

That's not why people hated DA2 after DA:O. The combat in DA2 was much worse, replacing the tactical combat where positioning was important with waves of monsters spawning.

Nobody hated going from a country in DA:O to a city in DA2 because they were RPG hipsters or forgot how much detail was in it. They hated it because DA2 had a really short development cycle, leading to a lack of detail. Maps were reused over and over for sidequests.

You really should not question the validity of criticisms of a game you have not even played.

In DA2 enemies literally just fell out of the sky during fights, and pretty often they had them spawn in your back lines just because. It was awful.

I'd be happy for P3 FES on PS4, but I dunno if I can go back to not controlling my party members fully.

While watching Mitsuru cast Marin Karin repeatedly on everything, even if you are going to die, is sort of annoying, P3 FES is actually trivially easy with full party control.

Not having party control really isn't that big of a deal and I think the game is too easy with it

Every copy of BoF III should be thrown into an active volcano as far as I'm concerned. It's almost Kafkaesque how much tedious, diverting busywork that game heaps on you.

This is going to sound like a hot take but over the past few years I've come to realize that this is almost every single ps1 and earlier era RPG, and a lot of ps2 era RPGs actually too

I've been having issues trying to download and install Helldivers for PS3, and it's driving me nuts. The download keeps corrupting, but I'm not using my wireless and everything else (read: everything I've downloaded previously, last month) has been downloading just fine. I'm hoping it's some kind of PSN issue and will try again tomorrow... but man I was hoping to try that game out tonight :/

I even went through and restored file system through safe mode just in case it really was my PS3. But after 3 downloads and having a bandwidth cap, I don't want to infinitely keep trying it. Anyone else having issues? I noticed I was having issues staying signed in earlier today too.

It'd be weird if the ethernet port was dying or something, this is the kind of thing I'd be able to chalk up to bad wifi if I had been using it.

Are you downloading in the background or leaving it on the download screen?

I don't see what the problem is with wanting better from PS+ and I say this as someone who hasn't minded what they've released so far. As it is right now it's just Indie Game Subscription. It's not one thing or the other. It's not either Indie games or lovely launch titles. There should be a mix between retail and indie though, and that's certainly not the case. Right now, once my sub is up I can't think of a reason to continue it.

The problem is it's the least interesting possible poo poo to read and there's absolutely no discussion to take place about it. Nobody cares if some other person doesn't want to subscribe to ps+ or what it will take to get them to, unless that person explicitly works for Sony on ps+ new subscriptions and retention rates.

I think everybody wants good games, and I doubt a single person has ever said "whoa this random goon is happy they didn't resubscribe to ps+? poo poo I am glad I found out!"

With PS+ devolving into an indy game subscription service you'd have to be out of your mind to actually pay for pretty much any independent title that gets published on PSN. Seems like it's just a matter of time till whatever it is ends up on Plus.

If your time has no value this is true, but otherwise I think you should buy poo poo when you want to play it and have time.

Since when does the PSN store charge tax? I wasn't charged tax when I got Salt and Sanctuary, and now I'm being charged tax for Alienation. The total is under $20 so it's OK, but if it was $20 then tax I'd have to buy even more prepaid cards. I don't want to keep a card on my account with what I hear about Sony and their don't give a poo poo if you're hacked attitude.

Did you move recently? Some states charge tax for online purchases. About six or seven years ago when I was living in Michigan I was being charged tax on PSN purchases when I wasn't supposed to be and they actually refunded my account a shitload of money from a bunch of previous purchases eventually. If you haven't moved you might want to contact support.

Suikoden 2 for $3 might be the best deal ever. Never got 3, but I think it's supposed to be good, too.

Too bad they didn't put GGXrd and Blazblue on deep sale again, now that I can actually use my PS3 stick on my PS4 :-(

Suikoden 3 is not a bad game, but it is very old rpg design and the game is VERY SLOW. I can't get over the pacing, dialogue, and combat all being glacial.

When PS+ started to become a serious thing, those initial seven retail games or whatever to me were the best because it was a huge deal. Also I think one of them was Saint's Row 2 and that game loving ruled.

I love BoI but I guess I somehow missed that the expansion actually came out on PS4 finally. I decided to check Steam to see what it cost and I see I never bought Rebirth on PC. There's a helpful bundle of Rebirth + Afterbirth that you can buy and save 0 cents! Oh hell yeah baby!

Yeah...it's not that bad though because it's still a relatively cheap game for the countless hours I've sunk into it and the expansion is really great so I can't complain.

Oh yeah, considering the hours I've gotten out of Isaac I absolutely don't mind popping down $25 for that stuff, although I'll probably just check it out on PS4 first for whatever Afterbirth costs on psn
