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.

Maybe try buying the PS4 version as it's cross buy.

Devil May Cry HD Collection hmmmm...
Sleepy Dogs is being considered as well.
Surprisingly lacking horror games but what the hell am I expecting for $5 or less.
 
I've heard the korra game isn't that good right?

Combat is good, albeit a bit shallow. It's a bit repetitive and simple, on the shorter side of things, but can be fun. Not a terrible game by any means, just kind of... average. It would be a B tier game back then.

It's worth a fiver, IMO, but I'm kinda liberal with my finances :D

I bought Knack. What have I done...

Not a popular opinion, I know, but I really enjoyed it. I hope you do as well.

If you haven't played Sleeping Dogs before be aware it's pretty awesome. One of the greatest surprises of the year it was released.

Will they add more games later?

How Is sleeping dogs definitive edition? I have never played any version of game...

I think I may get Sleeping Dogs because damn, I loved that game on PC.

Yeah, it's well worth the $5, have the vanilla with two of the DLC's on Steam, gonna have to pick this one up.

You won't regret this purchase Kevin, especially if you have an love for action movies or Hong Kong Cinema. It's a Kung Fu John Woo movie in a video game, with some great music and humor. Also, pork buns.

I'm grabbing Trials Fusion, The Great War, Geometry Wars 3 Evo, and Strider. About time I add these to my console library.

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.

lol, not offended =)

We all have our own opinions, and are entitled to them. It just so happens that anyone who thinks 2 is the worst Jackbox Party Pack is wrong. ;)

Seriously, though, Fibbage 2 is worth way more than $5 on its own. I haven't yet found someone who doesn't love Fibbage. Even my retired mom loves it. Quiplash XL can also be a great time. YMMV on the other games in the pack, but personally, I love Bomb Corp and don't care for the other 2.

Seems like the packs are pretty consistent at having at least two great games each. Opinions just vary on which games are great. On the rare occasion that they drop below $10, I say buy 'em all if you ever have people over (or don't mind bringing the game with you).

Will they add more games later?

No, Flash Sales go up all at once.

You have taken a wise decision!

Honestly Knack is quite good. Simple in design, but not boring or annoying. Long game too. I'm actually looking forward to 2 (at an eventual sale price).

Nothing for me from the sale. Already own everything from either PS+ offerings or previous sales. Ow well, back to my backlog.

Considering Knack because you can't beat that price unless it's a PS+ game. I really enjoyed Puppeteer from Japan Studio, but can anyone tell me how Knack compares?

Is there meant to a flash sale in the UK too?

I don't see anything that says there's a flash sale but a lot of games seem cheaper than they were in the January sale.

Looks like I chose a pretty good time to pick up a used PS4 last week. Got Infamous games + gravity rush remaster from EU sale and order from here. Persona is tempting, but switching PSN account on Vita is a nightmarish process so I guess I skip it for now at least.
 
I played Sleeping Dogs on 360 when it was free and got bored with it.

However, I'm thinking about buying it again because the same thing happened with Tomb Raider reboot. Got it on 360 for free, got bored, bought TR: DE for five bucks on PS4, and loved it completely.

thought the story for sleeping dogs was decent. at least kept my interest more than any other gta type open world game in recent memory (gtas included). Was like watching a Hong Kong cop film.
 
Speaking as someone who bought Asemblance at launch and got 100% completion: don't bother.

There are only 4 locations. The only gameplay is revisiting these locations over and over again, randomly examining arbitrary objects to find the arbitrary sequence that will trigger something new. Because you "use" objects with a "zoom in" button, there are no prompts and the next trigger could be literally anything.

It's like PT in the sense that once you're 1/3 of the way through, you run out of obvious things to do. After that, you will spend 95% of the time accomplishing nothing or starting over.

If you want to understand the story, the endings will add nothing. The final ending, which took weeks or months for people to find, is even less informative than the endings before it.

Don't expect the story to be continued episodically either - if this continues, it is supposed to be an anthology format with a bunch of unrelated stories.

Persona 3 Portable for sure, not sure if I should grab anything else tbh.
Already got GR2 and Yakuza 0 coming next week.

Hey, Sony: How 'bout doin' late Yakuza converts like myself a favor and having a $15 off $100 promotion?
Please give me a financial incentive to pre-order digital. :)
 
Skullgirls 2nd Encore and Persona 3 Portable are both tempting but with my January purchases kicking into gear today with Dragon Quest VIII 3DS and Gravity Rush 2 and Tales of Berseria and Yakuza 0 following on Tuesday, think I'mma pass this month's flash sale. :/
 
Knack got PRO enhancements correct? I think Im down for it at $5 Thinking about grabbing The Order, because I genuinely found the shooting to be great and I miss shooting the Dragoon revolver.

has Lego Batman 3's season pass been on sale? Or is it worth waiting for the Deluxe edition to go on sale again instead?

also is there any reason to pick up the Metro games separately on PS4 if you already have the bundle? Or is the only benefit being able to install them one at a time?
