Shilling for Sony: PS+ less bad than usual this month, maybe.

[archnemesis]

All the store.playstation.com links seem to be down for me. True for anyone else? 

Both https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/ and https://store.playstation.com/ are available from Sweden.

Thanks. Yeah, both of those give me a "400: Bad request" return. 

[chronovore]

I can still purchase through the store on PS4, but I'm beginning to wonder if the US website store isn't being region-locked for some reason…

[archnemesis]

Shouldn't it be a 403 Forbidden then? I can access the US store, but it redirects me to my own region.

[demi]

I played Abzu

Abzu fucking sucks

More indie shit

[Positive Touch]

play borderlands

all of you fucking play borderlands so we can talk about it it's a good game dammit

[demi]

I played it on Xbox, it was ok

[Positive Touch]

I can accept that answer

[chronovore]

Shouldn't it be a 403 Forbidden then? I can access the US store, but it redirects me to my own region.

Huh. That makes more sense. And, considering it's Sony, it would make more sense if there were just a proper "You can't do that from where you are" message. 

[archnemesis]

I finished Type:Rider last night. Learning more about typography was fun. The game itself wasn't.

[Dickie Dee]

Is The Order worth it even for just $3?

I know it's short and content starved, but is what actually is there any good? Would I enjoy the little time I play through it? Seems like a decent value proposition if so

(also, is this the catch-all thread for PSN sales too?)

[archnemesis]

I paid full price for it and I don't regret it. The gameplay might be bland, but it is worth to play through for the pretty visuals and decent story.

This is on sale for $20 on PSN right now. I love Warhammer as a setting, I enjoy tactical RPGs, but it looks like I'd have to play it on babby difficulty.

Anyone here have an opinion on this?

What did you like about it? I haven't played it yet.

[demi]

Until Dawn rules. Ez Plat too with a guide

[Sho Nuff]

Oh man this Until Dawn game is pretty boss, can't wait to get all these shithead teenagers murdered

[Bebpo]

It's a fun game.

There's a trophy for that (but you need to be somewhat specific to pull it off I think)

[demi]

August PS+:
PS4: Just Cause 3, Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry
PS3: Super Motherload, Snake Ball
Vita: Downwell, Level 22

[Bebpo]

Japan PS+ got the Nier1 concert. Best thing I've gotten from that!

[Let's Cyber]

Freedom Cry is about as good as a fun size bite of AC can be. The enjoyable ship combat of IV with a lot of the fat cut out (no dumbass present day stuff). The plot is pretty heavy but it is a good contrast from the main game.

For some reason I have the stupid version which requires AC IV so I'll download this to get the standalone.

[Positive Touch]

hell yeah i always wanted to play r-type dimensions

[Let's Cyber]

Bound has some interesting visuals but the controls really put me off. It's a tough game to recommend even as a free download.

[chronovore]

Is it just me, or is that a garbage lineup?

[Raist]

Well they just dropped Infamous and MGSV. See you in 2019 for Knack

[Cerveza mas fina]

Is it just me, or is that a garbage lineup?

Nope, its shit.

[bluemax]

I think I got Ragdoll Kungfu for free super early on in the PS3's life.

[chronovore]

Well they just dropped Infamous and MGSV. See you in 2019 for Knack

Yeah, fair enough! I will be easily playing those through February!

[Clockwork5]

Stop with the VR games!  If i wanted to vomit, I would just drink some shitty micro brew pale ale.

[Sho Nuff]

It's pretty dumb to be including VR games considering how small the install base is AND the high attach rate -- most PSVR owners already own that stuff

Certainly the idea is that PSPlus users think "Huh, I've got a half dozen VR games - maybe I'll grab one!"

Apparently allows you to "trade" trophies as points for $ to spend on movie rentals, apps, PS+ subs etc.

Its not really worth it.

December PS+

That’s You! (PS Plus bonus – PlayLink)
Xblaze Lost: Memories (PS3)
Syberia Collection (PS3)
Forma 8 (PS Vita & PS4)
Wanted Corp (PS Vita)

[archnemesis]

Yawn. The Syberia games are good. I don’t know if they’re a good fit for a console. Point and click adventures generally work better with a mouse or a touchscreen.

[Let's Cyber]

I never did beat Darksiders 2 on 360 so I'm down to give it another shot.
