Videogame Deals
Re: Videogame Deals
EDIT: ooh, it's back up to £80. I'll leave this here in case it drops again. January sale price released too early maybe?
This rather insane deal on both South Park games on Xbox One - £4! - is brought to you by The Computer Game Show's Discord community:

Re: Videogame Deals
Damn that would have been a great deal! Although surely a mistake rather than a premature January sale price at £4!

Re: Videogame Deals
HUGE PSN sales happening right now
I thought I'd get the opinion of the one or the other local shoot 'em up expert on Raiden V before buying it. Is it worth it for a casual fan of the genre like myself, or is it aimed at the hardcore pixel-perfect purists? Is it heavy on questionable fan-service?
Re: Videogame Deals
Colossal PSN deals on, yeah. I've still not played RE7 so thinking I might have a punt at £15.
GT Sport is also a monster, getting better and better, and just had a big single player update today, plus new cars and a couple of tracks. It's the best driving game of this or last generation, as far as I'm concerned.

I would say Raiden V is a solid shooter, but to the casual fan... hmm... I would recommend Raiden IV over this (if you were going the Raiden route).
It's difficulty has less to do with complex bullet patterns (and they do get more complex as the game goes along), and more to do with the fact that those bullets don't always stand out against the background. The art-style is great (with some really impressive boss designs), but sometimes everything tends to blend together.
So yeah, Raiden V: hardcore crowd more than casual.

Re: Videogame Deals
Actually, I did end up finding your other post shortly after writing mine. So thanks for the (double) feedback!
My issue is that I tend to buy a lot of shmups because they, on paper at least, sound like they're totally up my alley, but I usually end up hitting a brick wall halfway through and losing interest shortly afterwards.
I'll think about it. The idea of a full-fledged title as opposed to an arcade one does sound enticing...

Re: Videogame Deals
Cheers for the Nex Machina tip, I actually picked it up a week or so back. Well worth it at full price. Great game.
Re: Videogame Deals
I paid full-price for the disc-based version a while ago, and from a price-point it's at a good price now. And realistically, sales happen all the time on PSN, so take you time. That sales circle is reliably constant.KSubzero1000 wrote: ↑December 22nd, 2017, 10:02 pm Actually, I did end up finding your other post shortly after writing mine.

Re: Videogame Deals
Ah, nice! I was beginning to wonder if I hadn't in fact confused you with someone else.
You'd think so, but I've been waiting for the BoI DLC to go on sale for months now, and still nothing!Joshihatsumitsu wrote: ↑December 23rd, 2017, 12:36 am And realistically, sales happen all the time on PSN, so take you time. That sales circle is reliably constant.
I think I might give Raiden V a chance. Even if IV is better, I'd rather not play this type of game on a 360 or PS3 controller if I can help it.
Re: Videogame Deals
I’ve just got my completion percentage for the year above 70%, so I’m not buying a damn thing till Jan 1.

Re: Videogame Deals
I keep missing Hellblade being on sale. Maybe I should just buy it and play it.

Re: Videogame Deals
PSN doing a bunch of PS4 games for £15.99 at the moment, including Hellblade and Odin Sphere.
Said I’d get Hellblade next time it was on sale, and I have done so.

Re: Videogame Deals
Incidentally, both the TrueAchievements and TrueTrophies sites have a weekly post about what’s gone on sale that week, they have an automated thing that scrapes the store listings rather than going by what is posted on the company blogs.
