Quantum of Phallus posted:My friend just gave me a Vita to play Persona4. I might buy one, the way you can play PS4 remotely on it is really cool. Pity only some PS3 games work though, I just assumed they all did. between cross buy and PS+ i had a ton of games i could play on the vita when i got it without having to buy anything, it ruled. it's perfect for stuff like Spelunky or Risk of Rain or Binding of Isaac or whatever

Kelp Me! posted:The PS store gave me $10 credit again for some reason, but there's nothing at that price point and I've got such a backlog that I don't want to spend actual money on more games. It expires in like a week, too... I used it for 2 hitman eps during the sale where they were $5 apiece and it was probably the best $10 i ever spent on the PS store.

The XP ones are the debased currency items but some other random pieces of junk have cool unique catalyst effects too. Kind of annoying the item descriptions for those + ones that can be used as upgrade materials don't tell you so in any way

Housh posted:ABZĂ› game worth $20? I heard you folks comparing it to Journey. Does that mean it has co-op with randoms poo poo or there is no dialogue? I think I liked it more than most people because I really like fish/sea animals and that game has the coolest portrayals of marine life I've ever seen . I can't deny that the structure felt a little stale coming off of Journey, though, especially since I had just played that for the first time a couple months before

FireMrshlBill posted:I remember people saying months ago that GameStop accepts broken DS4's (knowingly so they can refurb them, I'm not talking about being a dick and tricking them). Is that still happening? Was it ever true? They take like $5 off. I think when i did it i got $25 instead of $30. All the used controllers they buy (working ones included) go to a warehouse for parts for refurb from what I understand; they don't get put directly back on shelves

It's ok, like, I absolutely wanted more Dark Souls 3 and I got my money's worth, but yeah it's nothing mindblowing like The Old Hunters. That might have been a little underwhelming too though if it were split into two parts like they originally planned

Then I saw if I pre-order the sequel on the PS Store, it says I can get the first game as a bonus upon checking out. But there is no PS4 version of the first game in the store. you get a PS4 re-release immediately on preorder. you don't see the PS4 version of the 1st on the store because preordering the new game is the only way to get it afaik

drrockso20 posted:Okay so yesterday my step-dad switched our Internet provider(from Frontier to Spectrum) and unfortunately our Internet strength went right down the toilet, which sucks cause it wasn't very good in the first place, before I'd average 1 to 5 MBPS on download speed for my PS4(not very good admittedly but it would suffice as long as no one else was doing any streaming), now it won't even crack 100 KBPS, anyone have any good suggestions to possibly fix this before I have to spend a bunch of money on a pair of Powerline adapters, and before you ask, just using an Ethernet cord isn't an option, the Playstation and our router are on opposite sides of the house I don't know what you thought they cost but here's a pair of well-reviewed power line adapters for $22.99 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AWRUIY4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-9qMyb4VX8N5F edit: otherwise yeah the other answer is probably to buy a better router than the stock one your cable company provided you and that's gonna cost a lot more than $22

Manatee Cannon posted:nah you can enter the first one pretty early. plus if you only plan on playing the game once, you'll never go back to see the second dlc since there's no way you'd need a month to beat that game The gameplay video they released today sure makes it look like some endgame level content. It seems to start out in the weird place with all the sideways/upside down buildings you can see from the Kiln of the First Flame

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:Yeah no poo poo. I'm waiting on RE7 to get a price drop, new or used, I dont really care. I bet if I walked into a gamestop today new will be $59.99, used $54.99. I'll just buy new for $5 more. But I'm not going to buy either, so gamestop loses eitherway. $40-45 used though? I'd have no problems with it. the real advantage to buying used at gamestop is the 7 day no questions asked return policy for used games. they don't really heavily advertise it but it's totally fine to just bring it back and say "I didn't like it" or whatever and get your money back

I'm thinking on getting it on this sale but I'm wondering if any of the DLC is worth it if I plan to play the SP and maybe, maaaaaaybe a bit of MP. It's 26€ for normal and 30 for Deluxe (I know 4€ isn't much but the DLC looks like just cosmetic poo poo). DLC is 100% cosmetic (and not even in loot box form! you just buy the poo poo you want), all new maps and weapons and modes and poo poo are free for everyone on release, no strings attached. Just get the regular game and buy skins if you like it and wanna further support the devs

I played Demon's and Dark Souls a ton so I'm used to these games and I was considering getting BB to try dragging him through via co-op. I know BB is more aggressive compared to DS, but the core of the game is similar enough for me to pick up easily enough. how have you played those games a ton and not played BB? gently caress your brother, pick the game up tho

Yodzilla posted:I just wish you could skip into later dungeons without doing earlier ones. Chalice dungeon progress and items should have been per account, not per character imho. That would have been a cool way to give access to weapons that don't appear until later in the story for fresh characters.

Imagined posted:Got an email from Sony today that they're going to start charging sales tax on digital poo poo in my state now. I understand the arguments for online sales tax in cases like Amazon where they're using the state's physical infrastructure to deliver their goods while they compete with local businesses, but I don't get it for ones and zeros. On the Nintendo eshop you could just change the zip code in your account info (even if the billing address for your card was in the state that charged tax) and not worry about it. Might work on PSN

You have to do absolutely everything 100% in the game to unlock it (which is a pretty good grind) so you'll probably never want to touch it again at that point anyway . And there's narrative justification for it

It also killed how satisfying it was to open major shortcuts and how cool it felt to get the ability to fast travel to major bonfires though. It also just made me feel like I treated the games with less gravity which was something I really liked about demons and Ds1 I'm surprised there's no points in 3 where it temporarily gets disabled and you're trapped. I was really freaked out the first time when the body snatchers got me in Bloodborne and i started respawning in the jail cell and i didn't know how close the nearest bonfire was

PirateBob posted:Is the Bloodborne DLC/GOTY edition worth getting? Can't find someone selling it used in my town, but I can get the regular Bloodborne for $10. So it's between that and full price for the GOTY. How much is "full price"? The DLC is very very good & if you like the base game you'll want it; but you can buy it for $20 and you probably won't be able to do very much of the content in it until you're near the end of Bloodborne. Unless you really want everything on one disc with no downloads just pay $10 for Bloodborne; the GOTY edition doesn't come with any other extras edit: yeah I forgot that it's gone on sale down to like $8 before too. Just buy the base game and don't worry about grabbing the DLC til your character is like around level 60 or so. You can access the new areas quite a bit sooner than that but they'll be extremely difficult unless you're just really badass at the game goferchan fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Apr 17, 2017 |

Might as well if you were gonna buy Abzu honestly , it'll be cheaper. It's a fun game and it sounds ike your style from the other things you've posted about but you'll probably only play it once

Neron posted:Yeah I looked at the reviews too, was just wondering if anyone here had played it and had any opinions. Might as well try it out, the basic edition is only 5,95€. The "complete bundle" costs twice that but looking at it it only includes a few extra boards and chess sets, not sure if it's worth the extra. I've only played single player and I think I got it similarily cheap in a sale. Nice interface and lots of tutorials and options for AI difficulty and stuff. Basically just what you'd want out of a chess game. Not sure why you'd really want the skins and stuff in the "complete edition"

From what I've read it's like 20~ hours if you're doing the optional content and not just blowing through the necessary story objectives.
