Zimbra Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ni No Kuni looks great, but I have 0 desire to ever play another non-portable JRPG. That being said: why the hell isn't Dragon Quest 8 a PS2 Classic by now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Might have to grab Need For Speed Most Wanted for Vita this week. $5? It's gotta be worth that. The console one was real fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Did anybody play Brothers? I just beat it, took about 3 hours or so, but (spoiler for the ending) The makers of the game were NOT nice to the little boy. What a depressing start, middle AND ending. That aside, it's actually a fun little timewaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 What's the general consensus on Tomb Raider? I've never played a single game in the series. This is despite the first six games in the series being made by a firm in my small home town of Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I was never a fan of the series, but I bought it cheap on Black Friday and loved it. It's kind of a hodge-podge of elements from other games, but all those elements fit together very well and make for a fun, if not "great," game.

Tabe Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 That's a pretty good summary. The new Tomb Raider is really pretty and it's a lot of fun. It's not great, the plot is a mess, and you'll get tired of hearing Lara's sexual grunts every time she gets hurt, but it's a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assfax Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 New one is a combination of Uncharted, the new Batman games collectables and pointless combat. Old ones are 3D Prince of Persia style deals with pointless combat and fucking amazing huge levels. TR anniversary and Underworld kick the shit out of automatic garbage. If you get it and play it, you will beat it. It's one of those new easy games where you can't get stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Uncharted/Arkham hodge-podge is a fair comparison. I personally really enjoy the game. No, it's not as good as Uncharted, but I love any game that let's me use a bow and arrow, and I legit love exploring the levels for all the treasure and upgrade parts. Easily my favorite TR game since I've hated every other game in the series. Oh, and I haven't gotten tired of her grunts yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 So, finally pulling the trigger on PS+, and upgrading my HDD from 250GB to 750GB, so, besides Uncharted III and going back and getting GTAIV for $2, what else should I be looking for? Also, what exactly does the cloud save do? Like, can I go through the upgrade without needing the extra HDD to back it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 The cloud save is great in case you end up with a situation like mine, where my PS3 died and I had to start from scratch. Get all of the Uncharted games if you haven't played them. I'm not sure what's on sale right now, so I'll have to check in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Also, what exactly does the cloud save do? Like, can I go through the upgrade without needing the extra HDD to back it up? Cloud save is for game saves only, not game data. You still need the extra HDD if you don't feel like downloading and reinstalling all your games. Right now it looks like the free games are: Tomb Raider Remember Me Payday 2 Brothers Bioshock Infinite Dyad Borderlands 2 Binary Domain ibb obb Uncharted 3 Little Big Planet Karting Xcom At least that's the list that was posted on March 3rd. Most should still be available. There's a LOT to like in that list. Pretty much all of it, in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I didn't care for Binary Domain at all. Felt really clunky and the camera was a disaster. I think Metro: Last Night is still free. I have it, but will likely never play it after finding out it's another first-person style game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I just installed my PS4 HDD into my PS3 and went crazy downloading all the PS+ free games I've "purchased" since joining the service. There are too many options, I don't know where to start. Hotline Miami controls are lightning quick, don't know if I can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Never mind that shit, Miami Hotline was really enjoyable once I realized it was okay to die many times over. And that soundtrack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Koch Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 IIRC you get a trophy for dying a certain number of times. It's a fun game but the controls make it very frustrating at times. Also the enemy AI is pretty random so it's hard to plan out your attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Ok, was XCom any good? I'm thinking of grabbing that incase it expires next month, but with my new massive backlog, I wonder if its worth getting around to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 XCOM will be up until E3; it was announced at the same time as Uncharted 3 and LBP Racing when Infamous 2, Ratchet, etc. came down (at E3 2013). It's a really good game, but if you're not into that kind of turn-based squad tac stuff there's nothing in it that will convert you to a fan.

Big Fresh Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 XCOM is amazing. At a price of free, you'd be a fool to not try it, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Kind of nuts that Driveclub still doesn't have a release date when it was supposed to be a day one freebie. Just based on the fact it's due the same day as the next PS4 freebie goes up, and so far all those games have been free at launch rather than older titles, I am predicting Merc Kings for April (though that's also a heavy dose of wishful thinking.)
