Both games are self contained with only some references and characters returning from the first one.

How is Gat Outta Hell? I really liked SR4.
Is it a decent length?

Buy dirt rally folks - best racer of the gen thus far.
Absolutely not - basically runs just like the ps2 version did, frame rate is sub 30 frequently.

Awesome, thanks!
Damn, I could have swore it was 60 on the PS2. Thanks though, saved me $5.

That's cool man. I appreciate your service
I just don't want to see all your good deals before finding out they're not for me.

Dark cloud looks good, any tips on those two games?
Most of them have had week 1 discounts anyway. Primal's 25% off this week, for instance. I'm not sweating much over paying $2-3 more to get them much earlier. The frequent sales are easing the lack of cross-buy with the PS3 versions.
Same question. I never Played Dark Cloud or its sequel. Should I play the first game or skip straight to the second?
I bought Okage Day 1, and I didn't have PS+. I love that game, though, so I don't really care.
I may bite on Parappa, though.
The first game is okay. Charming launch-era game that introduced the basics of village and weapon building. Dark Cloud 2 takes the interesting novel concepts of 1 and really fleshes them out and makes them fun, along with introducing a slew of new mechanics and minigames. Having played 1 for~70 hours and 2 for ~150, I'd say skip to 2. If you don't enjoy 2, you most certainly won't enjoy 1, and they aren't connected story-wise so no risk there.
As for whether you'll like DC2, if you like a game that has a lot of different smaller things to do while you're progressing, you'll love it. It has photo collection mode, it has a detailed city (village) building aspect, complicated weapon evolution/crafting, fishing minigames and then your own fish farm where you can raise your fish with stat building and even breeding, to the eventual goal of racing your fish. And after beating a level, you can play golf on the level.
One of my favorite PS2 games.

So, this super bundle they're offering with Saint's Row and Metro Redux.
Having never played a Saint's Row game before, is this bundle worth it for me or should I just get the Metro bundle?
Kind of weird that only the DLC for SR4 is available on PS4 and not SR4 itself.
Edit: Oh shit wait, Re-Relected is a remaster of SR4 plus all the DLC, and then Gat Outta Hell is new DLC? Holy shit.
Ok so rephrasing the question slightly, do I need to have played the other Saint's Row games to enjoy SR4? That is a hell of a deal, 3 full games for $22 plus all DLC and expansions? Damn.

Thanks for the detailed writeup! Will definitely get Dark Cloud 2 now.
They quote events from the other 3 games in it but i felt like it didn't matter much, and not knowing the characters wont be a problem either, i personally would say it does not matter and you can just go ahead and have fun, the Story doesn't really matter anyway. But be warned the port is fucking awful, one of the worst i've played on Ps4.
Maybe wait for a second opinion on that "Do i need to know the old games", because maybe i'm alone thinking that way.

not sure if i should try Risen 3.
it's only 10 bucks, and i've been pining for some SP action RPG stuff lately.

Saints Row Re-elected is a piece of shit. Stay away, not worth going through this shitty port.

I think I'll save my wallet money for a potential E3 sale. I already have enough PS2 Classics with just the GTA Trilogy and Rogue Galaxy.

Bought metro redux for PS4. I highly doubt I will play it but it seems like a steal at that price.

Might be down for Bully, though I feel like it was a few bucks cheaper the last time it was on sale.

No. Saints Row 4 on PS4 is a garbage piece of shit port that should be avoided. Do not buy it.
I haven't heard about any problems with Metro games though, but didn't play them myself.

Thanks for the heads up.
Ah fuck it, buying it. It looked smooth enough from the videos.
Huh, played SR4 on PS4 and it was completely fine.

I've had SR4 on PS4 for a long time and played it to completion and I never noticed anything wrong with it.
I didn't know it had this kind of reputation.

same here. i had some random crashes early on in the game but otherwise it's solid, runs well, looks fine. i don't see any reason to judge it harshly.

"runs well" = has an inconsistent frame rate throughout the entire game, 20-60 fps. Lots of screen tearing - there is a v-sync option in the menu that does literally nothing at all. Also freezes the PS4 occasionally so hard you have to cut the power (hold power button for 10 seconds)
"looks fine" = last gen textures, no anisotropic filtering, no anti aliasing (even last gen versions had anti aliasing), terrible draw distance. Would be fine if it also ran at 60 fps with all the ugliness but see above.
Might get Risen 3 at that price to play later...
Yep,more Two Worlds then Sacred though...and I didnt play 3 but loved the first and 2 was okay but I never finished.

Wow yikes thanks for the impressions y'all, looks like I'll stick with Metro.

I mean, for $3 more, you may as well throw SR4 in there.
It...looks better than the PS3 version I played before? I was able to complete it?
I also lost whatever clothes were in my wardrobe at random and had to hard boot my system about half a dozen times.
But yeah, High Voltage did a number on that port. Got the impression from some Volition folks I emailed that they weren't too happy about it, but fixing it would be up to High Voltage and Deep Silver, and, well.
If you don't have any other way of playing it, it's...mostly functional, and still a good game. But, woof.
I actually beat it this year. Great game.

It's actually much more than $3 more to add them together. Getting the Metro Redux bundle is $12 but getting the Metro Redux / Saint's Row bundle is $22. Unless there's something I'm missing or misunderstanding what you meant?
Oh wait did you mean Metro Redux + Gat out of Hell is only $3 cheaper than the bundle? That would make sense. I have a PS3 so I could play it on there I just figured this would be the most convenient and inexpensive way to play everything. Plus then I wouldn't need to set my PS3 back up again.
HMMMMM

This is a typo right? Would be crazy if they secretly dropped Modern Warfare on PS4 like that, especially considering Remastered comes out this year.
