Do the Jackboxes have online multiplayer, or local only?

The Jackbox games (except for YDKJ in Pack 1) are all played over the Internet using your phone/tablet. That being said, the screen displaying prompts/options/answers is only in one place. So you could technically play with other people online, but only one person would have the full experience. Share Play might fix this problem but I've never tried it.

I *think* the general consensus is that the second Jackbox is the weakest offering the three games.

Speak for yourself...Pack 2 beats Pack 1 by a mile for me. The combination of Fibbage 2, Quiplash XL and Bomb Corp. is very difficult to beat.

There isn't any upgrade to Tomb Raider if you already have it on PC right?


$5 for Knack? yeah I'm in.

 

[BumRush]

Grabbed P3P. At 5 bucks, it's definitely worth finally giving Persona a fair shot I think.

2 > 3 (the T-Shirt game saves this one) > 1

 

[yyr]

what is the difference between Metro Last Light complete and Redux?

Redux refers to the enhanced versions available on PS4/XB1.

Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux are the enhanced versions of Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light. "Metro Redux" is a pack containing both Redux titles (oddly enough, it is not part of this sale).

2 > 3 (the T-Shirt game saves this one) > 1

You don't like Trivia Murder Party?

 

[Aselith]

How populated is Payday 2 on PS4?

Edit: Nm, it's only the base game without all the expansions lmao NOOOOOOOOOOOPE

 

[TapeDispenser1000]

Looks like I'm finally going to play Bastion.

 

[3rdamention]

Nice, gonna pick up Monopoly Plus. Should be good fun with friends for $2.99

Can anybody recommend one of the Jackbox games, I don't think I need both of them. Which is the better one?

I am also on the board with 3 > 1 > 2. I really like Jackbox Party 1 & 3 the best. But they are all great. If you ever have family or friends over, you must have these games.



They are so much fun, and sometimes can be kinda "naughty" which is pretty awesome. My wife and I play it with our 2 daughters and 2 nieces. My 2 nieces loved it so much, I bought them all 3 games for Christmas.

 

[FlashFlooder]

Watch next month's PS4 Plus games be Knack and The Order. Just watch.

 

[AndyD]

Those are some great selections. Finally went for Knack.

 

[Mayor_McCheeze]

So Knack is pretty badass. Been playing with the wife on couch co-op.

Absolutely worth $5.

 

[Tsunamo]

$5 for Knack is a steal.

Spoiler

And yet it's still not on PS+

 

[fernoca]

Looking for help on this question. I'm tempted to buy the Lego Marvel Super Heroes game on PSN, but I already own the physical version. I want to do this because my son loves to play the Lego game, and I hate having to keep swapping discs so often.

Just want to know if it will be a fresh install next to the already installed game or will it just activate the digital license and I'll be able to keep my saves/progress with the Lego games.

Your saves and progress will work, but you will have to download the digital version. You can't just use the disc install.

Yep. You need to delete the disc installation and download the entire game.

OMG nothing for me

 

[kingbean]

Finally got SF 2 HD Remix. I know it's got problems but for like 2 bucks I couldn't keep stalling.

Went ahead and got the extra colors for 3rd strike while I was at it too.

All these posts about Knack are kinda making me want to check it out and hearing that it got a pro patch makes me even more curious to try it. Hmm...

 

[i-Jest]

I might just bite on Breath of Fire IV..

 

[NeoCross]

Good thing I held off on buying Child of Light this week. Now at $5 it is mine.

 

[KanameYuuki]

I have like 7 bucks on my account from previous sales, I'm so unsure if I should get saints row 4 or knack instead.

 

[Spinluck]

I'm still sad that Awesomenauts is dead.

What a fantastic MOBA

 

[echoshifting]

Nice, I've been itching for a flash sale. Picked up a few I've been wanting for awhile

Sleeping Dogs looks really good at that price, tempted to nab that too

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Can anyone confirm if the Mutant Mudds Double Pack is cross buy? 2 SKUs up in store, one for Vita, one for PS4, both same price, neither mention "Purchasing this content entitles you to both the PS4™ system and “PS Vita” system versions!"

 

[Cotrip]

Asemblance worth the $3.99? It has some mixed reviews from what I've seen.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

hell of a sale but nothing for me. gravity rush 2!

Save ur money for rayman legends instead
It goes on sale regularly

 

[wenis]

still don't want Knack... bought a bunch of other stuff tho and picked up Stardew Valley because why not.

 

[PurpleMoustache]

It's interesting. It's also unfinishable if you don't look things up. For the price, it's definitely worth it. It's a 2 hour experiment by some ex-Bungie and other people inspired heavily by PT's looping hallway (no jumpscares or horror elements, however). They claim that it's the first episode in something larger, but we've yet to hear what that is.

 

[Justified]

No VR games is wack.

The only compatible one I see is Catlateral Damage

So you could technically play with other people online, but only one person would have the full experience. Share Play might fix this problem but I've never tried it.

You can get around this by having one person stream it off their system. The later packs have options to increase timers to account for stream delay that make it work pretty well.

3 > 1 > 2, for my money.

 

[Khrysler Jerikho]

Getting that Skullgirls, finally

That looks cool, think I'll try it.

And that game is terrible, don't buy that

 

[toythatkills]

Sorry for your loss.

Considering Jackbox, but not sure I'd ever get a "party" going for it, it'd be two-player at best 99.9% of the time so I dunno how it'd hold up.

 

[Justified]

Is Trivial Pursuit Live still plague with problems?

For instance playing online if someone lets the timer run out, it freezes the game forcing you to quit

And that game is terrible, don't buy that

Thanks for the protip

That's the impression I got from the podcasts I've listened to but I haven't had a chance to try out either of the first two, which I've purchased. Sorry if I offended you.

 

[MaKTaiL]

If you get both Metro titles separately you don't get the "Metro Redux" pack which is exactly the same except you get to choose which game you wanna play on a title screen. PSN is wierd.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

Should I even bother with the Order? Kind of tempted.

For $5 I say go for it. you won't be disappointed.

 

[Electret]

How are Jackbox and Trivial Pursuit for social games/entertainment for guests?

 

[LectureMaster]

The Wolf Among Us! Finally getting it!

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Injustice for 5 is really tempting but I will go for the retail version once I see it at 10.

Maybe I'll go with Limbo.

 

[ultron87]

How are Jackbox and Trivial Pursuit for social games/entertainment for guests?

I haven't played Trivial Pursuit, but Jackbox is my favorite thing for party games. It uses cell phones for controllers so it is incredibly easy and approachable even for people that don't usually play games. It plays up to 8 as well, which is great.

 

[Trojan]

For $5, I have no reason not to finally play The Order. Mustaches and 21:9 cropping will be a part of my weekend.

 

[WordAssassin]

Did Psychonauts get fixed? I remember some grumbling about the port when it first came out.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

As long as it is legit good looking I'll play it just to see the tech behind it. I got duped with Driveclub, which is a massive eyesore during gameplay most of the time, so I'm hoping The Order is truly nice. At least DC has good gameplay, lol.

Any idea if $5 digital PSN codes exist anywhere?

I think the cheapest is a $10 code.

Don't believe the Gaf meme. Knack is shit tier. People are just tired of fighting the meme. If those are your choices get Saints Row 4. It comes with Gat out of Hell too, right?

 

[TrojanBlade]

Thanks Trump!!!

Spoiler

too soon?

Some good stuff here ... wanted to play TO1886 and Knack

 

[ChazAshley]

Sooo..... Trying to purchase Journey for PS3 - but it's coming up as Free as the price and when I try to download it, it says I'm not authorized to do so. Anybody else having this issue? Is it because I once downloaded Journey as a PS+ free game - but since my PS+ expired it's going all wonky? Would like to support them even though I beat the game already.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

Today's already kinda started shit. I cpuld use thief and sleeping dogs for five bucks each

 

[MekaDragon]

No The Last of Us

45€ priced in Europe...

I've heard the korra game isn't that good right?

 

[MillionStabs]

I've heard the korra game isn't that good right?

It's got good combat, but it's a little repetitive and short.
