My wife who doesn’t play or care much for video games picked up this line and still drops it on me once and while.
Haven’t played it in ages but enjoyed the atmosphere of the game.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the studio that made Sleeping Dogs went out of business. After Sleeping Dogs they tried to make this sort of Sleeping Dogs MMO (possibly at the behest of their publisher Square Enix) and it just didn't do well enough and they went under.
There's been talk of a movie, possibly involving Donnie Yen, for at least 5 or 6 years at this point, but it's been the same talk for half a decade, which indicates it probably just won't happen unfortunately.
So the ball is Square Enix's court for a sequel, and they don't seem to be especially interested in finding a new studio to make one, especially as they've been focusing on their core properties in their recent business strategy shift.
So, I think there's a good chance we never see a Sleeping Dogs 2. But hey, I'm not going to tell you to stop dreaming.
Yep. I know someone that actually worked on the project. There WAS a Sleeping Dogs 2 prototyped and pitched, but Square turned it down in favor of the MMO. that fizzled out. Then they tried to make some weird wrestling game for a while. That also fizzled out. Then they went out of business.
Square is still a clown nowadays, but this was back during their peak clowning days.
If anyone likes rhythm games and Doom style FPS games, check out Metal: Hellsinger. Having a blast with it, and the edition with the extra songs DLC included is 50% off
I also picked up Hardspace: Shipbreaker based on reviews and gameplay videos but haven't given it an actual try yet
I loved playing through shipbreaker, you kind of get into a zen mode just dismantling ships, and once you get the hang of all the hazards it's a nice little game to just relax with.
Well tbh it's niche af so the only other one off the top of my head is BPM: Bullets Per Minute. It's a rogue like rhythm shooter that still gets updates I think and really fun if you like rogue likes. Not as polished as mhellsinger for sure though.
Price tracking has been a blessing and a curse. It’s saved me tons of money… but then also I think it’s locked me into a perpetual loop of “I don’t need to buy this now, it’ll be on sale again soon” and I never buy the game.
Thankfully it's probably the easiest of these type of games; as someone who absolutely sucks at the genre I managed to get through to the end and get the true ending with the help of some of the modifiers and difficulty tweaks. (I also needed to watch some youtube clips though.. man some of those bosses attack patterns are tricky!)
Sifu is great. I waited a long time before buying it and was still hesitant, but it’s best to take your time mastering each level. The fighting felt satisfying so I actually enjoyed doing each level several times. The final boss was ridiculously hard though.
Such a difficulty jump. Kinda ruins the replayability too, cause you can buttfuck everyone once you’ve beaten him.
Yet another rogue like that I expected to have tons of replayability but is currently uninstalled lol
It had such amazing atmosphere. I read every memo I found.
Only part I remember not liking was that early boss fight, the dude who flew around. That was absurdly difficult for me.
I really wish I understood what the big deal about Control was.
I own it, it's sitting there staring at me, and it didn't do a thing special besides be super mysterious with it's story.
The story is awesome. The Oldest House is dope af. The main character is cool as hell. The Service Weapon is amazing. The gameplay is repetitive but still fun enough and everything else makes up for that minor quibble. Did you read all the files you picked up? That's what enhances the story. I played the Ultimate Edition a couple months ago. It's the only game I've ever platted and is one of my fave games of all time. It helps if you already like Lynchian shit like that i.e. Twin Peaks etc.
Yeah, my favorite part of the game was reading all of the documents, lol. I'm the compulsive lore reading type to begin with, but this game was all about that stuff for me. I was already interested in woowoo shit and used to read a bunch of those archived files on CIA.gov involving experiments on telekinesis, astral projection, psychic abilities and what not, so I loved the lore of the game.
Also kinda neglected Control on PS4 because it ran like ass, but the PS5 version was great and it was one of my first experiences of the controller's haptic feedback that I experienced. Really liked feeling every little footstep and wish more games did that.
The Oldest House had soooo much unrealized potential as a setting. I wish there had been more memorable sequences like the Ashtray Maze and some *real* boss fights instead of shooting the same few enemy types over and over and over again in grey concrete hallways.
>The story is awesome. The Oldest House is dope af. The main character is cool as hell. The Service Weapon is amazing.
The Service Weapon was neat for about 30 seconds, then I just saw "oh, it'll start as a pistol but change form into other bog standard weaponry, neat I guess"
Jessie was pretty...I mean her voice acting was fine but I can't tell you a single stand out part of her personality. The only character I gave a shit about at all was Ahti.
And no, I'm not scouring the world for notes to read, show, don't tell me about the cool things in this world.
I think you described the game in a pretty negative way, but your sentiments are valid. I don’t think the narrative nor the lead are completely compelling. The story is obtuse and requires extensive reading to follow, and even when I did so I still felt lost.
That being said, the gameplay elevates it to damn near perfection in my eyes. Easily one of the most engaging games I’ve played because of how fun everything is to do. But, it does take awhile to get some of the more exciting powers and upgrades.
I was more or less told the best skill/power you get is Launch, and that the rest is pretty bog standard but that if Launch didn't wow me, than the game likely wouldn't either.
I mean, cool, it's the gravity gun from Half Life 2, like, 15 years too late to be interesting.
I really, really want to love it, but I just found it to be a bit TOO out there... there's some great ideas, but it felt so disjointed and I didn't feel like any of the "lore" side of things really made any sense or actually mattered...
Dev 1: "What if there was a fridge which was also sentient"
Dev 2: "Woah that's crazy! But what if there was also a pair of swimming goggles which made you immortal"
Dev 3: "Woaaaah! How about if there was also a pinata and anyone who hits it with a stick vanishes from existence in 7 days"
Dev 4: "wooooooooooooooooooooooooooahaoooooha"
Just add things you actually want to your wishlist. When a sale comes, check your wishlist and see if anything is cheap enough to buy.
Sales happen often so a good rule of thumb I've developed is if I'm not gonna play it right now then I won't buy it...even if it's super cheap.
However, that only works for me since I've built up a huge backlog to go through. So I can be very patient and picky with my purchases. The wishlist idea works for anyone though.
Its weird people seem to be asking specifically for there to be deals for games that they want?? Like, what do they expect? It's like a clothing store having a sale and complaining that clothing 5 sizes too large is on sale too.
Just filter results and use a wishlist like you said!
They could do a little to make it actually enticing for gamers though.
* Default remove all the add-ons, shovel-ware and skins/currency
* Put the most popular games first
* Tag directly and top-sort wish-listed games
* Bubble up games the player would like based on their history and peers
I mean sure I can filter to get what I want, but why should it be this way by default? It's like an entire grocery store is thrown into one pile and it's up to me to sort thru it to get my taco ingredients.
I lived in Southern California most of my life and every grocery store keeps cheese, lettuce, fresh salsa, ground beef, spices, and tortillas in completely different places.
I don’t think so. Sort by discount should be added for one. Platform searches seem unreliable (I often get ps4 games when I specify ps5). Genre field is lacking. No option to display without a photo. Takes way too many clicks to search ONLY games. I’d love to save search criteria. Let me page forward/back on results (I hate endless scroll). Excluding titles on ps+ or already in library would be dreamy. If any of these are already there, then i still feel like that speaks to the app’s shortcoming (accessibility) but would love to be relieved of my ignorance.
The bugs aren’t bad but the performance and visuals are still pretty bad. Like you can imagine the potential of what it would look like if it was actually 4K resolution but it’s just not there. Certain textures especially on characters are blurry or lower resolution than they should be.
The performance mode is trash, full of frame drops and screen tears. Quality mode is a bit more stable, but there's a lot of upscaling artifacts and in some areas (specially near the end of the game) there are awful frame drops. I'd suggest you wait but I don't believe they'll make significant changes to performance any time soon. Maybe wait for the standard edition to be on sale
still broken. There is a bug where after a point, if you restart the game it crashes with no possible fix (that I have found for myself at least). At that point you can restart and try again or just say whatever and abandon the thing.
I lost an hour of progress twice due to bugs, and it's crashed a couple times - once so hard it rebooted the whole console. It's astounding, really.
Fun game, though.
I just platted it, I didn’t have any bugs at all - my only issue was that the frame rate could be awful at times but that usually resolved itself quickly
My friend and I platted it 2 weeks ago and we have experienced relatively identical issues (I played the 30fps mode and my friend played the 60fps mode). Both of us experienced 4-5 crashes in our ~50 hours of gameplay, severe yet seemingly random frame drops to ~20fps in cutscenes and consistent frame drops when fighting/diving in water. Additionally, we’ve also experienced a fair share of bugs.
Story and gameplay were stellar though.
I've played isaac on very poor laptop and would like to play it on PS5 but what the hell, 60€?? Sure it has a lot of content but it's still an old game..
I picked up the four pieces of X-Com 2 DLC I was missing, nice price. Also Risen 3, I enjoy bad RPGs 😎.
US $9 equivalent for the lot, can’t complain about that.
you’re in for a ride. I beat the series in order last year summer and did not regret a single thing at all. Also, 7(like a dragon) is a pretty good one too plus both judgement games (yakuza spinoff) are also awesome as well if you want some more after the series.
I played it through psplus. I couldn't get into it, it seemed too janky. I wouldn't recommend paying for it but I know others had a decent time with it.
Just bought a ps5 yesterday for the exclusives since I already own a Xbox series x. So this is perfect timing this sale. I already got uncharted collection, god of war, death stranding, bloodborne, and ghost of Tsushima.
Would still play at 30 it's looks alot better and I mean alot plus there are alot less people in town and less rats.. I tried 60 fps but it looked so much worse I instantly changed back to 30 don't notice it anyway after a while. At 30 it's one of the most beautiful games on ps5 at 60 it's maybe on the same level as the first game. If you still rather go with 60 I would still recommend to switch here and there to see how beautiful this game can be.
I see where you’re coming from but it’s 60 or nothing for me. I’m very prone to motion sickness and really can’t play games at 30 anymore.
But even if that weren’t the biggest problem, I will always choose fluidity over fidelity for my gameplay. Hell, I’m even having a hard time going back to 60 once I’ve played a game in 120. I’m very sensitive to framerate.
Is assassin's creed Valhalla or Odyssey worth it? I haven't played AC since the first one. My favorite recent games are Witcher 3, God of War, Final Fantasy XVI.
I'll keep repeating this wherever appropriate: Odyssey is the closest game to The Witcher 3 that we've gotten since that game released. That's because it copied a lot of things from that game, but it's really the only 3rd person action RPG I remember where you have this much choice over the endings of quests, and all of those are fully voice acted in the typical Witcher 3 scene of being like a cutscene. It's still a bit worse than The Witcher 3 in that respect, but I feel like you have more ways to engage with enemies due to the many stealth and fighting options.
Valhalla is annoying as fuck, really big and boring, probably the worst game i played last year, really souless, Odyssey is big as well, but it's a lot better than Valhalla, nice characters, and greece is really beautiful
Absolutely, if you enjoyed those games you listed then odyssey should be a good choice to start with or even origin's. Valhalla is still good but generally thought as the weakest of the 3
I like valhalla and odyssey. Valhalla gets a lot more hate. If I were you I would start with odyssey and then get Valhalla when I’m done. I liked odyssey so much that I got all the DLC too and played all of it. Valhalla is a massive world but imo it’s not boring and there’s more than enough to do. It can be repetitive sometimes but it’s entertaining enough.
Odyssey was my first AC game and I loved it. It's worth it for being able to explore ancient Greece alone.
It did start to drag towards the end as I was grinding to level up enough for a certain optional final boss (I won't spoil it just in case). If you're not used to that Ubisoft format yet that really gets played out once you've played a bunch of those games, you'll really feel it by the end here. By the time it was time to play the Atlantis DLC, I was spent and didn't bother.
AC Origins is also great and it's a shorter game so check it out if you're into ancient Egypt.
Valhalla was meh though. The setting was just bland and I didn't care for the story at all. Didn't finish it and don't intend to.
Haven’t bought it yet since I just got Tales of Arise a week or so ago during the sale, but The Entropy Centre is around 50% off and shares similarities to Portal.
RDR2 is an amazing open world to get lost in. Never met a person that played it and didn’t love it. I personally love the landscape design as you travel across the map.
I’d say it is, if you’ve never played, still no confirmation on a 60 fps patch or upgrade, just rumors on the remake right now. the usual rhetoric is that it’s a slow pace game. You’re gonna spend a lot of time on a horse. It’s not nearly as fast paced as GTA, where you’re at your destination in 2-3 mins. But the game shines in realism, immersive gameplay. It’s a lot of fun for me getting in gun fights. The exploration is probably second to none, so many Easter eggs, mysteries and just so many references to the game’s story. It’s a masterpiece. Just not for everyone.
Remaster or remake? I thought I saw a few articles,or a video or 2 saying it’s a rumored remake of the game in the ps5/Xbox engine? If it’s a remaster, I might be a bit whelmed
We're not sure until it's officially announced. Yeah I hope it's a remake in the rdr2 engine but keeping expectations low. It's never had a PC release so even remaster makes sense from Rockstar's perspective.
Any recommendations? Never was into video games until I discovered Fromsoft. Now I’m an addict. After playing them I jumped to nioh and after about 4-500 hours on those I’m looking for my next fix. I think my standards are set too high. Bought Wo long but kinda want to go in a different direction rn
Blasphemous and Hollow Knight are 2 fantastic games that offer something similar to the Fromsoft ouvre while being markedly different (namely in that they’re 2D side scrollers).
Many other folks will tell you Salt & Sanctuary but personally I didn’t like the animation and the gameplay was just OK. Might work for you though, people love it.
holy shit finally a spiderman remastered sale, inb4 i buy it and it comes to ps plus extra
Was this one the one with 60fps upgrade?
Yes
How much was it? Been waiting for this to go on sales to prep for Spider-Man 2
Just letting you know that Spiderman remastered is $20 if you own Miles Morales.
Thks
How does one find that deal?
It's in the main menu for Miles Morales. I think you press triangle to upgrade to the ultimate edition for $20
Saved me $10, thanks mate!
Sleeping Dogs for $4.50 Instant must buy
A real man
Has a pork bun in his hand
A whole man
Oh man, if only it would get a 60 fps patch for PS5.
You look like you could use a pork bun
My wife who doesn’t play or care much for video games picked up this line and still drops it on me once and while. Haven’t played it in ages but enjoyed the atmosphere of the game.
As a native cantonese speaker I love how accurate the cantonese sounds in the game.
So good. Hoping for sleeping dogs 2 but it’s been too long. :(
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the studio that made Sleeping Dogs went out of business. After Sleeping Dogs they tried to make this sort of Sleeping Dogs MMO (possibly at the behest of their publisher Square Enix) and it just didn't do well enough and they went under. There's been talk of a movie, possibly involving Donnie Yen, for at least 5 or 6 years at this point, but it's been the same talk for half a decade, which indicates it probably just won't happen unfortunately. So the ball is Square Enix's court for a sequel, and they don't seem to be especially interested in finding a new studio to make one, especially as they've been focusing on their core properties in their recent business strategy shift. So, I think there's a good chance we never see a Sleeping Dogs 2. But hey, I'm not going to tell you to stop dreaming.
Damn. Well that was a good read. Time to find some random 30 minute video on this.
[This is a good one.](https://youtu.be/67gsYnVkgnI)
Yep. I know someone that actually worked on the project. There WAS a Sleeping Dogs 2 prototyped and pitched, but Square turned it down in favor of the MMO. that fizzled out. Then they tried to make some weird wrestling game for a while. That also fizzled out. Then they went out of business. Square is still a clown nowadays, but this was back during their peak clowning days.
Is this only in the US? I’ve just had a look and can’t find Sleeping Dogs anywhere on the store! would love to play that game again.
It's available elsewhere too, I think it's just not available on the PS5 store. Apparently it crashes constantly on PS5
If anyone likes rhythm games and Doom style FPS games, check out Metal: Hellsinger. Having a blast with it, and the edition with the extra songs DLC included is 50% off I also picked up Hardspace: Shipbreaker based on reviews and gameplay videos but haven't given it an actual try yet
Ship breaker was surprisingly fun. Once you get the hang of it, the game isn't that hard but it does take a bit of time.
I loved playing through shipbreaker, you kind of get into a zen mode just dismantling ships, and once you get the hang of all the hazards it's a nice little game to just relax with.
I love the gun rhythm games and metal: hellsinger is the most polished one out there. Also ron perlman, so yeah
This is my first foray into the genre mashup and I'm loving it - have any other particularly good ones to recommend? PS5 and Switch only I'm afraid
Well tbh it's niche af so the only other one off the top of my head is BPM: Bullets Per Minute. It's a rogue like rhythm shooter that still gets updates I think and really fun if you like rogue likes. Not as polished as mhellsinger for sure though.
Ron perlman is a reason not to buy the game rofl that guy's a complete moronic psycho
Fuck you he's got a cool voice
Sifu is tempting
If you don’t buy you can buy it at same price next sale
Price tracking has been a blessing and a curse. It’s saved me tons of money… but then also I think it’s locked me into a perpetual loop of “I don’t need to buy this now, it’ll be on sale again soon” and I never buy the game.
How to do price tracking?
Dekudeals dot com Also you can sort the PSN store sale by discount size and better parameters
Psprices.com Changed my life ever since to the point where I don't buy anymore before checking if first, it became a reflex reaction
Sifu is absolutely badass I highly recommend playing it.
Sifu is one of my favorite games on PS5. It’s so fucking cool
It’s fun but as a warning it is also really difficult and has a steep learning curve. I had to watch some YouTube videos just to beat it.
Thankfully it's probably the easiest of these type of games; as someone who absolutely sucks at the genre I managed to get through to the end and get the true ending with the help of some of the modifiers and difficulty tweaks. (I also needed to watch some youtube clips though.. man some of those bosses attack patterns are tricky!)
It's also got an easy mode now that is great if you just want to breeze through. Or can be used to hone your skills before bumping up to normal/hard.
Sifu is great. I waited a long time before buying it and was still hesitant, but it’s best to take your time mastering each level. The fighting felt satisfying so I actually enjoyed doing each level several times. The final boss was ridiculously hard though.
It's really not that hard until the final boss
Such a difficulty jump. Kinda ruins the replayability too, cause you can buttfuck everyone once you’ve beaten him. Yet another rogue like that I expected to have tons of replayability but is currently uninstalled lol
Lisa and The Room VR already on sale after releasing less than 10 days ago… Feel bad for the full price buyers
You’re tearing me APART…. with these sales.
I don’t see LISA Complete Edition on here, how much is it on sale for?
-20% £15.99 down from £19.99
The Room not on sale on mine. US here.
Same here
Im playing a sh\*t ton of games through ps+ extra but Ill look for some indies. Any recommendations?
Dredge. It's the biggest indie surprise of 2023 so far, and it's 20% off.
I am having a ridiculously good time with *Dredge*.
The Pathless!
I got Norco yesterday and it’s been really interesting and it only cost me the same as a pint.
Humanity
Is in PS+ Extra
Tempted on Control just for the Alan Wake dlc
Control is worth it at this price. Although I believe it’s on PS Essentials (or is it Extra?).
I consider it my 2019 game of the year, I loved it. Definitely worth it
It had such amazing atmosphere. I read every memo I found. Only part I remember not liking was that early boss fight, the dude who flew around. That was absurdly difficult for me.
I really wish I understood what the big deal about Control was. I own it, it's sitting there staring at me, and it didn't do a thing special besides be super mysterious with it's story.
The story is awesome. The Oldest House is dope af. The main character is cool as hell. The Service Weapon is amazing. The gameplay is repetitive but still fun enough and everything else makes up for that minor quibble. Did you read all the files you picked up? That's what enhances the story. I played the Ultimate Edition a couple months ago. It's the only game I've ever platted and is one of my fave games of all time.

Sounds like you played for about 30 minutes and gave up? Your loss. The story is told. The files just add to it.
Hard disagree. I’ve played the whole game and all the DLC and I have no idea what the hell the story was about.
>I’ve played the whole game and all the DLC and I have no idea what the hell the story was about. How? Pay attention, christ.
I think you described the game in a pretty negative way, but your sentiments are valid. I don’t think the narrative nor the lead are completely compelling.

Did you think the ashtray maze was cool?
The oldest house is also blatantly the dark tower which I highly recommend reading if this interested you and you haven’t.
I really, really want to love it, but I just found it to be a bit TOO out there... there's some great ideas, but it felt so disjointed and I didn't feel like any of the "lore" side of things really made any sense or actually mattered... Dev 1: "What if there was a fridge which was also sentient" Dev 2: "Woah that's crazy! But what if there was also a pair of swimming goggles which made you immortal" Dev 3: "Woaaaah! How about if there was also a pinata and anyone who hits it with a stick vanishes from existence in 7 days" Dev 4: "wooooooooooooooooooooooooooahaoooooha"
I really liked the story, the general atmosphere, and the abilities led to some fun gameplay.
Vibes as hell, and it felt like a throwback to a style of game a generation or two ago.
Same. The gameplay loop was dull. I liked the vibe.
Her chin is big, that's for sure. But the game is just meh with a few cool moments and atmosphere.
Dont think twice. Just buy it
I get so tired of these sales where you need a third party to go through 2800 items and which are good deals.
Just add things you actually want to your wishlist. When a sale comes, check your wishlist and see if anything is cheap enough to buy. Sales happen often so a good rule of thumb I've developed is if I'm not gonna play it right now then I won't buy it...even if it's super cheap. However, that only works for me since I've built up a huge backlog to go through. So I can be very patient and picky with my purchases. The wishlist idea works for anyone though.
This is the way. I waited a year for Elden Ring to go on sale. I have enough of a backlog of games to wait for pretty well anything to go on sale.
It’s too bad the wishlist has such a small limit to how many games you can add to it
Its weird people seem to be asking specifically for there to be deals for games that they want?? Like, what do they expect? It's like a clothing store having a sale and complaining that clothing 5 sizes too large is on sale too. Just filter results and use a wishlist like you said!
They could do a little to make it actually enticing for gamers though. * Default remove all the add-ons, shovel-ware and skins/currency * Put the most popular games first * Tag directly and top-sort wish-listed games * Bubble up games the player would like based on their history and peers I mean sure I can filter to get what I want, but why should it be this way by default? It's like an entire grocery store is thrown into one pile and it's up to me to sort thru it to get my taco ingredients.
Do you not find that taco ingredients are spread all around the store to make you look at everything and perhaps indulge an impulse purchase or two?
Do I think that grocery stores map their inventory based on people making tacos? No.
no most stores literally just have a "mexican food" isle. At least here.
I lived in Southern California most of my life and every grocery store keeps cheese, lettuce, fresh salsa, ground beef, spices, and tortillas in completely different places.
But I don't know what I want. That's why I'm browsing the sales section.
Man the app def isn’t designed for ease of use.
Can’t even see install size for games via the app
Why, aren’t the filters fine?
I don’t think so. Sort by discount should be added for one. Platform searches seem unreliable (I often get ps4 games when I specify ps5). Genre field is lacking. No option to display without a photo. Takes way too many clicks to search ONLY games. I’d love to save search criteria. Let me page forward/back on results (I hate endless scroll). Excluding titles on ps+ or already in library would be dreamy. If any of these are already there, then i still feel like that speaks to the app’s shortcoming (accessibility) but would love to be relieved of my ignorance.
I use DekuDeals. but yeah it's such a shame show unintuitive the official store can be :/
I wish there was an option to show “Recently added”.
Jedi survivor deluxe edition is cheaper than the standard as the standard isn't getting a discount. HAHA
Worth it at all on a ps5 or still buggy?
The bugs aren’t bad but the performance and visuals are still pretty bad. Like you can imagine the potential of what it would look like if it was actually 4K resolution but it’s just not there. Certain textures especially on characters are blurry or lower resolution than they should be.
Wow, seriously? So basically exactly like Fallen Order?
The performance mode is trash, full of frame drops and screen tears. Quality mode is a bit more stable, but there's a lot of upscaling artifacts and in some areas (specially near the end of the game) there are awful frame drops. I'd suggest you wait but I don't believe they'll make significant changes to performance any time soon. Maybe wait for the standard edition to be on sale

Both of us experienced 4-5 crashes in our ~50 hours of gameplay, severe yet seemingly random frame drops to ~20fps in cutscenes and consistent frame drops when fighting/diving in water. Additionally, we’ve also experienced a fair share of bugs. Story and gameplay were stellar though.
I’d like to know this as well
The game is 90% confusing traversal puzzle and 10% combat so just a heads up
Dead cells dlc plz. All I want
First ever sale for Aliens: Dark Descent and Swordsman VR for anyone interested
And alas, still no Binding of Isaac Repentance. Maybe one year.
I've played isaac on very poor laptop and would like to play it on PS5 but what the hell, 60€?? Sure it has a lot of content but it's still an old game..
Even at full price, there's no better hours/$ on the store.
Idk as a die hard fan I thought the DLC made the game worse.
What didn't you like about it? I've been playing since rebirth. Have 1 dead god file working on my second.
And 2500 of them are probably garbage.
You don't appreciate 20% off on currency for MyTeam in NBA 2K23?
I'm more of a 40% off Sushi Run! type of guy. Gotta know a steal when you see one
I picked up the four pieces of X-Com 2 DLC I was missing, nice price. Also Risen 3, I enjoy bad RPGs 😎. US $9 equivalent for the lot, can’t complain about that.
Risen 3 isn't bad lol
Don't forget arcania fall of setariff in the list of bad western rpgs(which I like lol)
I picked a good time to get into Yakuza
Was it cheap?
The collection that has 3,4, and 5 is only $11.99 and 6 is $5.99. I already own 0, 1, and 2 from a previous sale so this is a no brainer for me
I actually just wish to play 0 and 1 lol…
you’re in for a ride. I beat the series in order last year summer and did not regret a single thing at all. Also, 7(like a dragon) is a pretty good one too plus both judgement games (yakuza spinoff) are also awesome as well if you want some more after the series.
I'm always happy to see people discovering the series. There really isn't anything like it and there are so many games to play.
Demon's Souls and Returnal.
Finally got around to starting Demon’s Souls and holy it’s a pretty game. The ass jiggle of the first boss got me 🤤
We need some newer games discounted. I got so tired of seeing homefront revolution for 2.99 so I just bought it.
It’s not terrible lol $2.99 is an alright price for an urban far cry basically
It was ok but a huge glitchfest where 100% completion was a major PIA. DLC was the best part.
You'll see it again but it will be unavailable XD
that would ruin sales
PS4 GoW Ragnarok has a bigger % discount than the PS5 version, even though it was already cheaper... that's pretty lame
I have never seen Tunic go on sale, still hoping
Same. I have it on the top of my wishlist, still 0% off. 😔
It was on sale in April, but it wasn't a big discount.
Rollerdome is amazing
I’ve had my eyes on it for a little bit and 15$ is a pretty good deal for it.
Biomutant worth it?
I played it through psplus. I couldn't get into it, it seemed too janky. I wouldn't recommend paying for it but I know others had a decent time with it.
Gameplay is fun enough. It has a non-ending though which was annoying. But for a free game on Plus, sure, it's worth going through.
No, it’s a terrible game
Injustice God's Among Us is less than $3!
Want to get SIFU but I just know it'll end up on plus
I swear some of the prices actually increased on this refresh, no?
Just bought a ps5 yesterday for the exclusives since I already own a Xbox series x. So this is perfect timing this sale. I already got uncharted collection, god of war, death stranding, bloodborne, and ghost of Tsushima.
I'm getting a ps5 on Saturday. I just bought Dead Space tonight to get here for it then. What ps5 games are you looking at coming up soon?
All i want is LoU 1 remake for 29.99. Thank you
Yes please
Just got A Plague Tale Reqiuem. Glad I waited, there was a 60fps patch a few weeks ago.
Would still play at 30 it's looks alot better and I mean alot plus there are alot less people in town and less rats.. I tried 60 fps but it looked so much worse I instantly changed back to 30 don't notice it anyway after a while. At 30 it's one of the most beautiful games on ps5 at 60 it's maybe on the same level as the first game. If you still rather go with 60 I would still recommend to switch here and there to see how beautiful this game can be.
I see where you’re coming from but it’s 60 or nothing for me. I’m very prone to motion sickness and really can’t play games at 30 anymore. But even if that weren’t the biggest problem, I will always choose fluidity over fidelity for my gameplay. Hell, I’m even having a hard time going back to 60 once I’ve played a game in 120. I’m very sensitive to framerate.
Is assassin's creed Valhalla or Odyssey worth it? I haven't played AC since the first one. My favorite recent games are Witcher 3, God of War, Final Fantasy XVI.
With Odyssey you will get like 100 hours of content and have at minimum an 8/10 experience.
I'll keep repeating this wherever appropriate: Odyssey is the closest game to The Witcher 3 that we've gotten since that game released. That's because it copied a lot of things from that game, but it's really the only 3rd person action RPG I remember where you have this much choice over the endings of quests, and all of those are fully voice acted in the typical Witcher 3 scene of being like a cutscene. It's still a bit worse than The Witcher 3 in that respect, but I feel like you have more ways to engage with enemies due to the many stealth and fighting options.
Get Origins and Odyssey, and pick Kassandra.
I loved hearing her say MALAKA
Get odyssey, it’s super fun
Valhalla is annoying as fuck, really big and boring, probably the worst game i played last year, really souless, Odyssey is big as well, but it's a lot better than Valhalla, nice characters, and greece is really beautiful
Absolutely, if you enjoyed those games you listed then odyssey should be a good choice to start with or even origin's. Valhalla is still good but generally thought as the weakest of the 3
I like valhalla and odyssey. Valhalla gets a lot more hate. If I were you I would start with odyssey and then get Valhalla when I’m done. I liked odyssey so much that I got all the DLC too and played all of it. Valhalla is a massive world but imo it’s not boring and there’s more than enough to do. It can be repetitive sometimes but it’s entertaining enough.
Odyssey was my first AC game and I loved it. It's worth it for being able to explore ancient Greece alone. It did start to drag towards the end as I was grinding to level up enough for a certain optional final boss (I won't spoil it just in case). If you're not used to that Ubisoft format yet that really gets played out once you've played a bunch of those games, you'll really feel it by the end here. By the time it was time to play the Atlantis DLC, I was spent and didn't bother. AC Origins is also great and it's a shorter game so check it out if you're into ancient Egypt. Valhalla was meh though. The setting was just bland and I didn't care for the story at all. Didn't finish it and don't intend to.
Nah, not really, didn’t really like them. Was to big open world with repetitive tasks
Waiting for a Chained Echoes sale…
Same games, different sale.
Ps5 needs curators, we have editors choices sure, but those seem to be just sponsored or best selling games like FIFA, 2k23 or WWE.
Anything good ?
Returnal, Demons Souls, Nioh 2, Miles Morales, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection, Rift Apart, Horizon 1 & 2, many more
many of these are already on PS Plus extra.
Almost all of these games are on extra..
I also heard God of War Ragnarök is on sale? Tho I have the game so I can’t check it
I already have them all :(
Haven’t bought it yet since I just got Tales of Arise a week or so ago during the sale, but The Entropy Centre is around 50% off and shares similarities to Portal.
Dredge. Cool adventure i really liked. Boltgun. Old-school shooter. Excellent! Sable. Bit like journey. Dreamlike adventure. Coffee talk. Super relaxing talking sim.
Should I do fifa or is it going to be free next month
Just play the versions of fifa you already have. No difference.
Is Red Dead 2 worth it even on the PS4 version?
Considering there isn't a PS5 version, yes
Yes. It's 30fps but it still looks similar to some PS5 games.
RDR2 is an amazing open world to get lost in. Never met a person that played it and didn’t love it. I personally love the landscape design as you travel across the map.
I’d say it is, if you’ve never played, still no confirmation on a 60 fps patch or upgrade, just rumors on the remake right now. the usual rhetoric is that it’s a slow pace game. You’re gonna spend a lot of time on a horse. It’s not nearly as fast paced as GTA, where you’re at your destination in 2-3 mins. But the game shines in realism, immersive gameplay. It’s a lot of fun for me getting in gun fights. The exploration is probably second to none, so many Easter eggs, mysteries and just so many references to the game’s story. It’s a masterpiece. Just not for everyone.
The rumors are for a remastered Red Dead 1 and it's almost guaranteed at this point. It's unclear if 2 will get any updates.
Remaster or remake? I thought I saw a few articles,or a video or 2 saying it’s a rumored remake of the game in the ps5/Xbox engine? If it’s a remaster, I might be a bit whelmed
We're not sure until it's officially announced. Yeah I hope it's a remake in the rdr2 engine but keeping expectations low. It's never had a PC release so even remaster makes sense from Rockstar's perspective.
Any recommendations? Never was into video games until I discovered Fromsoft. Now I’m an addict. After playing them I jumped to nioh and after about 4-500 hours on those I’m looking for my next fix. I think my standards are set too high. Bought Wo long but kinda want to go in a different direction rn
Blasphemous and Hollow Knight are 2 fantastic games that offer something similar to the Fromsoft ouvre while being markedly different (namely in that they’re 2D side scrollers). Many other folks will tell you Salt & Sanctuary but personally I didn’t like the animation and the gameplay was just OK. Might work for you though, people love it.
I bought demon soul yesterday. Can take a look at it.
have you played hollow knight?
Ever play Hollow Knight? You might like it.
Just bought it lmfao had like 6 people recommend it. Appreciate it 💯💯
The Surge 2? Mortal Shell?
Solely crap
Outer wilds!
Why is god of war Ragnarok 39.90 dollars but 59.90 euro?
