With the 10% off code this weekend, thinking of getting one of the following:

Soldner X-2
Damascus Gear
Wipeout 2048 DLC
Wild Arms XF

Basically Damascus Gear is the unknown quantity here, but also the one that appeals to me the most conceptually. I've heard complaints, but as long as it's not so broken that you can't S-rank missions, I think I'm up for it.

definite YES to Soldner X-2

I'll probably be the only one to suggest it, but I'd get Wipeout 2048 DLC. Chances are the price will never go down, 10% off code is a very good way to get it cheaper than it usually is.

Monster Hunter doesn't really have a story worth paying attention to, especially not before 4. The game however gets stronger and stronger as it goes along. Better rewards, tougher fights. The way they power up monsters in high and G rank especially is genius. Not just more HP and more damage out but faster, smarter, less predictable, multiple extra attacks.

As I see it a lot of people that play games seems to constantly look for "the holy grale" (that one game that they can play forever), I am not one of those people and that is ok.

I have enjoyed batman on the vita and I found both freedom wars and soul sacrifice to be a really good first try at something new for the hunting genre. I also bought the order 1886 bundle and liked the game. right now I am having a lot of fun with Knack through remote play.

Are these the best games I have ever played, of course not but as with movies I sometimes like to watch drama and other times I'd like to sit down and watch an action movie or a really stupid comedy.

I enjoy most games, this is because I know that I won't be playing my last game for a long time and the best games are the ones that I haven't played yet :)

Soldner X-2 is excellent.
Wipeout 2048 dlc is a great idea, assuming you like Wipeout.
I have yet to play WAXF -- it's in my backlog though, and i've heard really god things about it.

In other news, Bloodborne is mine. Continuing my week of unintended expenses, I couldn't find my giftcard that should have covered it, so ended up spending $60 I shouldn't have. But whatever. it's mf'ing Bloodborne, and I'm a Souls fanatic.... I should already have owned it.

Damascus gear is by far much better than i expected. There is some exaggerated bad reviews about the game . But its actually a very good mecha hack and slash. More important than that is that is a fun game.

The one thing that makes me hesitate here is that Wipeout 2048 is stressful to play for me, and I'm terrible at it. I don't think anyone should be playing this badly at this point - I have 921 laps logged, with 0% perfect laps (I know for a fact that there was only one perfect, ever).

I have heard that the Wipeout HD DLC is much easier, which would be a very good reason to get it and play that instead.

HD and fury are easier for sure and looks great on the vita screen also the campaigns are full with different zone tipes and everything. Fury is more of a battle oriented campaign. HD is more like the pure and pulse games. So the variety is great. I highly recommend getting the dlc, is like getting 2 new wipeouts and add them to the 2048 campaign. You will enjoy very much HD the only detail I don't like is having the same music for all 3 games but wipeout 2048 has a very good ost anyway.

Good to know, thanks. Plus I just realized that I'm completely bogged down with ship unlocks since single-player doesn't give enough XP to unlock everything. It will be good to not have to worry about that.

I'm actually planning to get the physical game to replace my PS+ copy. Has anyone ever tried manually copying a game save from a backup of a digital game to a backup of a physical copy of the same game?

No, I did not do any streaming and had no downloads going on.

teflontactics said:
The issue is that they cap downloads at 4MB/s and their servers are only good for that speed; they need to upgrade their service to a few times its current capacity if they want to cap it at 4 as you have to adjust for high traffic.




Even if you maxed out the PSN's downspeed (~4096KB/s), you're still going to have to wait around 2h and 10 minutes, so 20 hours isn't a far stretch as it means you're downloading at 400KB/s or so.
Click to expand...
400kb/s is very dissapointing on a PS4 connected with ethernet to a 100mb/s internet connection. I did test my download speed and found no problems there. So the problem lies with Sonys shitty servers.

Gravity Rush DLC is great, well worth it.

Guacamelee is also very good, but it's designed for people that beat the game and are looking for an extra challenge.

Hmm, the releases of Bloodborne and Type-0 are really making me giddy to buy a PS4... then I remember due to some serious money issues I had to sell my PS3 and that because of the shit ton of JRPG released on it and MGS4 I must also buy a PS3.
I think I will faint.

I'll try to test it later but I'm fairly sure I get far better speeds on a much worse internet connection. I suppose it could be a regional issue, but couldn't something else be at fault? I'm not an expert on networks, but something just seems off there.

I played the living daylights out of Dynasty Warriors Next and loved it. There's some unnecessary touch minigames, but they didn't get in the way too much. It wasn't as well received (in part due to touch battles), but that didn't stop me from having a blast.

I'm currently playing Warriors Orichi 3 (alongside Oreshika and Bloodborne). It's also really good. A bit less tactical (you insta-switch with other captains, but aren't sending them out to take bases independently). i'm not as obsessed as i was with DWN, though. maybe that'll come with time. i do like the overall conceit of the game, though (changing history and rescuing teammates from dead timelimes).

There is no chance for Dark Souls to be part of April's PS+ because there's no digital version of the game on PSN at all. Only Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2. So if you want to play the first game you're safe, but will also have to find a physical copy. I'll warn you now, if you play DkS 1 on PS3, when you get to the bottom of Blighttown or Anor Londo ruins, you will have to deal with 15 FPS slideshows. Every other part of the game runs fine, just be ready for those two areas and don't think the whole game will be that bad hah.
