Not the best. Are they gonna do a Black Friday kinda sale does anyone know??

Also on a side note, how come Xbox doesn't have a similar weekly topic for its sales or am I just missing it ?

I think Sony is more regular with their sales than MS or Ninty, but I could be mistaken. Plus, the PS4 is the more popular console so I guess that might explain it?

Not great on any platform. I might be interested in Wolfenstein if the discount was deep enough, but it probably won't be.

I'm guessing, as someone who wants to get into Dark Souls/Bloodborne, and having €20 on my account already, the extra €5 for Dark Souls II is a no-brainer? Or should I get the Bloodborne GOTY edition?

Played the entire series from Demon's to Bloodborne. Go for Bloodborne please, DS2 is the worst by a very, very significant margin. Would be sad if you dropped things because of that.

Tracks are free for everyone. So only new tours (with trophies), new cars and liveries.

Everyone that has the full game that is. PS+ edition users are limited to tracks in India. However, they do get to race on tracks from other countries in the free DLC tours. The same goes for season pass cars.

Really can't decide if I want to bother with DS2

DS was my first souls game and I really enjoyed it. However I like bloodborne way more.

For comparisons sake I completed dark souls through to NG+ defeating O&S. Where as I have a char on NG+++ on bloodborne as well as a couple of chars at various points on NG.

I don't think I can go back to a shield and I'm not sure I will enjoy shieldless in DS anywhere near as much as in bloodborne (although I might). It's slower pace is also putting me off a bit. Maybe just wait for DS3.

Saying that it's only £20 lol.

Plenty of people seem to do it but I should treat it (rightly so) as a slightly different style of game.

I would just buy it for when I'm in the mood but I kinda swore to not do that so I dont ever end up in backlog hell again.

On the other hand there really isn't to much out for the next few months I'm concerned about. I have bloodborne DLC, I'm getting until dawn for my birthday and the order for Xmas. Both those and bloodborne DLC arnt long. I have destiny as a filler game (only been playing just over a week solo and already 40 so its a game to play when I'm in the mood).

So really I will prob have time to play it this year.....

*reads the above* I'm clearly trying to convince my self to buy it right?


Edit.....
Yeah I bought it lol. Maybe play it in december for some Xmas fun.

Dark Souls 2 introduced power stances which in other words is new movesets for compatible weapons when dual wielding. My second DaS2 playthrough on the PS3 version was done dual wielding two katanas with special properties and the damage can get pretty ridiculous. It was also a lot more fun than turtling. I don't think I've parried more than twice in that game and a vast majority of the shields don't have 100% physical block either.

So they definitely discourage turtling in that game. However they also made rolldodging pretty busted and it's pretty much impossible to dodge stuff with 100% certainty. Hitboxes and i-frames are just busted.

Anyway, shields are not mandatory, dual wielding rocks but it is pretty difficult.

Cool thanks for the info. Will give duel wielding a go when I get to it.

Damn, that Arkham Knight season pass isn't quite at the price where I would actually feel okay spending money on it. Not far off though.

Until Dawn (and other PS4 games) is rumored to get a retail RRP drop to 20,95€ during all of December in Germany at least. Maybe this is also true for other countires (If it's true at all)

Seems I won't be getting Dark Souls 2 again. Even with the new price, it's not a good idea to rebuy it when I already have the platinum. I was somehow expecting to get an additional ps+ discount on top of the listed price. Still, finally got Grim Fandango and the Driveclub season pass (annoyingly, you gotta manually find and click to "purchase" each of the tours?) I ended up with over 35 emails from Sony thanking me for my purchases...

They're in the Digital Discounts section. SOMA's in there too.

Good to see some DLC go on sale. I think I'll get the Driveclub season pass, as I've been holding out on getting it for ages, as well as the last two Dragon Age Inquisition story DLCs.

Also, I'll repeat it here since SCEE doesn't seem to read or bother with the comments anymore: Why the fuck has Hotline Miami 2 been removed from the NZ store?

Very much disagree.

Dark Souls II on PS4 is a very fine game indeed, and offers excellent value for money especially at the discounted price.

The additional areas and the re jigged placement of enemies really elevate the game from the vanilla release, as do the numerous tweaks and bug-fixes that have been folded-in.

Terrific game, severely underrated around these parts.

Just grabbed both the Rocket League DLCs.

Nice to see Costume Quest 2 on sale finally almost three weeks after Halloween has finished.

Just picked up Dark Souls II and Far Cry 4. Went with the basic version of FC4 as I don't know anything about the season pass and most likely won't ever get that far lol.

As for DSII I'm worried that having played Demon's, Dark (twice) and Bloodborne (recently, my GotY) that there's no way it can live up to those. Also worried about the 60fps fucking with my head, when I'm so used to 30fps for these games.

So in 2014 Costume Quest 2 wasn't released until after Halloween in the EU, then in 2015 Costume Quest 2 didn't go on sale until after Halloween...

Are they crazy?
