I had $100 left of graduation money, so since my thesis came in over the weekend all nice and bound, I decided to celebrate by spending $98 on PSN, cause I saw a lot on sale I wanted.
The big items were GTA V and Bloodborne, for $40 each. I've wanted GTA V for a while and Blodborne will be my introduction to From Software games, appropriately within this month of October. I probably wouldn't have bought it with non-gifted money, but I've had my eye on it since it was the best-received PS4 exclusive, coming out a day after my birthday. And if I don't like it, I'm sure I got some Sony Rewards points for buying it via the store, so not a toal loss.
Then came the indies. I jumped on a sale for Everybody's Gone to the Rapture for $8, which I had considered pre-ordering before it came out. I enjoyed Ether One as a pure-puzzle in first person kinda game, and this looks like the same style but with a presentation style I prefer. The music in the trailer is beautiful and I'm excited to discover the mysteries in the town. It's also another one that felt perfect for Halloween season, to go along with my digital copies of Resident Evil 2: Revelations (liked it a lot more than I thought it would when I played it a while back, need to get back to it) and White Night (cool B&W noir detective game in a spooky mansion I got stuck in; I'd love to move on, as it's a really cool game).
Then, Warner Bros. had its own sale, and I was looking at Mortal Kombat X for $40 or so and Injustice: Gods Among Us for around $11, but decided Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- still has plenty of 2D fighting goodness for me to enjoy and decided on the cheapest WB game I saw on sale, LEGO Marvel Superheroes for $6.06 (I remember that specific price). I rented a Star Wars LEGO game on GCN back when and played a demo of LEGO Batman 3 on PS4 and thoguht they were ok, but figured for $6.06 it was worth seeing what everyone loves so much about these games. Let the easy trophy hunting begin!
Finally, I bought a game called Race the Sun for $3.50 because it reminded me soooo much of Corneria on the original SNES Star Fox. I'm excited that Wii U gets Star Fox One soon (forget if it's still this year or delayed until next), being that Star Fox 64 is my favorite game ever (I know it's objectively not the best game ever, I'll admit a lot of it's nostalgia), but honestly? It seemed like they were throwing non-on-rails things in there again and I just want an on-rails shooter. I think in Race the Sun there's just avoiding things, not shooting (making it more like Entwined in a way), but I just prefer it when these types of games focus on the main draw. Quality-wise, I think Star Fox has had better games than Sonic as of late, but I think both are strong when they just stick to their roots.
Anyway, GO PACK GO and here are the trailers for some of the more obscure games I mentioned if you're curious. I believe the PSN Flash Sale ends tomorrow, the 19th and the WB sale ends the 20th, so you still have time to get in on these deals.
Oh and I took a picture of the 2008 Batmobile in Arkham Knight's photo mode. I usually go easy on the extra stuff like filters and borders, but I decided what the hell this time. I want to take more pics and upload some of the film style ones I've done. Not that anyone cares, but Gotham in this game does photograph well, I can see why they added this feature. As it stands, I only need to perform 15 different moves in a combat free flow to platinum the game, not counting DLC trophies.
I wound up picking Shadow of Mordor for $11.99 and Lunar Silver Star Harmony for $6. I sold my physical copies a while back so this was a cheap way to get them back.
I might still get Shadow of Mordor if the price is similar for PS4. Guessing you got a PS3 copy?
yep. The PS4 version is $17.99
Still not bad.
star fox 64 is pretty good, man!
I bought Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. I was curious about it anyway, and I like those sorts of games, so....
Looks like you have some mad gaming to do!!!
For sure!
Woot, you got bloodborne! If you get stuck/need help let me know. Your first From game may be traumatic until you warm to it.
Will do.
Star Fox Zero is being delayed until next year. Right now I'm working on a review of the Wii U version of Race the Sun.
Yeah, I think Captain N made a post about it, I just couldn't remember.
I'm soon to play a From Software game I never played before, Otogi Myth of Demons back on the original Xbox.
I vaguely remembering hearing that title. Vaguely.
I came across two From Software games I never knew were by them before: Otogi and Lost Kingdoms. Those guys did a lot of games.
Wow there was a bunch of good stuff on sale last weekend. I should have fired up the PS4. The only thing I picked up was Motorstorm Apocalypse for $2.00 on the PS3. I liked the first one, and the RC game wasn't bad.
Lego Marvel is fun, an easy platinum (get a second controller for one trophy that needs to minifigures to stand on two switches.) There are two races where you need to cheat a little bit to give you a fighting chance.
MK X, and InJustice are good and connects with their mobile versions for special unlockables. Race the Sun is such a cool game. Its one of the few racing games I like better on the console than the handheld.
WB Sale at least I believe is going into tomorrow. And there;s stuff for PS3 Vita as well.
I may get Shadow of Mordor instead of MKX or Injustice. Like I said, GGXrd is my main 2D fighter right now and I don't really need another one for a while (maybe until SFV). Good to know Race the Sun is as fun as it looked.
