Raziel Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Tokyo Jungle looks way too fun to pass up for a dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I ended up getting quite a bit during the sale. I already had Tokyo Jungle (yet I haven't played it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 man. I had incredibly fond memories of Gex 2: Enter the Gecko from the PS1 days. I expected the 90s pop culture snark to grate, 15 years later, and I expected the graphics to be a little unfortunate (as any 3D PS1 game does if it's not super stylized/simplistic like Jumping Flash). I didn't expect motion sickness, a problem I can't remember ever having with a game before. Glad I only paid a buck for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Motion sickness is a companion for me with nearly every non-sports game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I ended up getting quite a bit during the sale. I already had Tokyo Jungle (yet I haven't played it). I knew trying to fight a Hippo with a Pomeranian was a bad idea, but I'll be damned if I wasn't going to try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assfax Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Oh, now Crash Bandicoot works on Vita? After the goddamn sale where everybody was like "well I'd get Crash Bandicoot but it doesn't work on vita". BULL SHIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Tokyo Jungle was worth the dollar. It is fun. I need to unlock the bigger animals though, now that I'm getting the hang of hunting. Grazers are a pain in the ass with toxicity and regions running out of food if you advance a generation in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Koch Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 There's a free Soul Calibur game up. No reviews that I can find, but it's a 3.8 GB download so I'm assuming it's a pretty full game but makes you grind/pay to improve your character.

Raziel Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Know what you shouldn't do in Tokyo Jungle, go to the territory that the Event log just said A Dinosaur has woken up in... when you're a Deer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Koch Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I can barely fight a cat with my pomeranian, I can't imagine taking on any bigger animals. The servers for the Soul Calibur game are borked right now, so I wouldn't bother downloading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well, I always wanted to give PES a try. Yeah, that was my exact thought on seeing the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Koch Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 PES is good if you like soccer games. The gameplay is deeper than FIFA so it isn't quite as easy to pick up right away, the graphics/sound aren't the best either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 At first glance, this seemed like the weakest lineup in a while, but I've mellowed a little over the course of the day. I heard Puppeteer was short but quite a bit of fun, Skullgirls was a perfectly acceptable indie fighter (I felt like I got my five bucks' worth but was glad I didn't pay more), and Limbo is pretty excellent. Stick It might not be my first choice for a PS4 game, but I think it'll be at least a year before we get anything other than a B+-tier indie title or something from Housemarque as the game of the month. ("You were hoping we'd give you Transistor? HA! Enjoy Stick Figure Rochambeau 2015!") Surge isn't something I know anything about, but as a free puzzle game for Vita I can pretty much guarantee I'll be playing it on my bus commute for a while.

sydneybrown Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I can barely fight a cat with my pomeranian, I can't imagine taking on any bigger animals. My pomeranian took out a wolf. I was so thrilled by my kill that I didn't even mind when an alligator leaped on screen and ate me two seconds afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Enh, maybe I'm being too easy on it, but if I get two games I will put at least.four hours into, I usually feel.I.got.my four bucks worth. Puppeteer was something I legit.want.to play. Limbo is something I know is good. I am content and will look for silver linings on the rest.

Neil Koch Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The servers for the Soul Calibur game are borked right now, so I wouldn't bother downloading it.I played for about a hour or so tonight. It's good besides too much loading. Basically you get points to do quests. Each quest is a set of matches and at the end you get XP and new items. If you get beat or run out of points, you have to use items to play on. The game gives you a couple of free ones but others you have to wait a day or buy from the PSN store.The big new things are you get stones to craft items and weapons to make them more powerful and give them elemental attributes. Of course you can pay to get good items instead of grinding for stones. Also you use other people's characters as allies, basically you pick one from a random (?) list before each quest. You can tag them in for 20 seconds or so after a meter is full. You only have one life bar to get through each quest, so using the ally will help extend that. If people use your character, you get perks. You can select from Mitsurugi, Sophitia and Siegfried. I think more characters are unlocked on quests but I haven't gotten any.
