The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

US PSN having a $0.99 sale this weekend that includes Tokyo Jungle. buy Tokyo Jungle!

I'm really tempted to get almost everything here, even double-backlogging some via multiplatform (Tales of Monkey Island, Back to the Future) or just paying the $1 for digital convenience (Tokyo Jungle). Also some curiosities like Echochrome II, Super Stardust, Crash Commando... even Jurassic Park which is supposed to be bad, but $1!

I'd say Retro/Grade is worth the $0.99 if you're in the mood for a decent though mediocre rhythm game

How is the Sam and max game?

Pretty good! Very strange opening scenes in the first episode, but it gets better.

Should've known Puppeteer would go free within six months, and before I got to play it. Oh well!
Happy about Skullgirls: Encore, I liked the PC beta I tried back in the summer.

Puppeteer is an endless tutorial :(

Sony, you'll killing me with your sales. I really gotta get that new HD soon.

Is Soulcalibur V worth five bucks?

Do not buy Chrono Trigger, it is the worst version.

I might dip on Chrono Cross, I never did play that one
I hear SCV has a very short single player mode, but $5? probably worth it

did ne1 download pes2014? and... is it running better than the 7 frames per second mine appears to be running at?

That was about what it ran off the disc last fall.

just got my code for the playstation now beta, tested it out with platformer rocketbirds

it was ok, reminded me of playing FIFA online where you have to mentally build in a little buffer time for your inputs to register. wouldn't want to play anything too twitch reliant on it though

I tried Sniper Elite on it, and it sucked; I'm afraid to see how Skullgirls would've fared. For certain games I'm sure it'd be fine though.

My girlfriend is out of town this weekend so I would like to treat myself to a PS3 game. I'm thinking The Last of Us or Dark Souls 1 or 2, with GTA V as an outside option since I'm slightly embarrassed about games that have cartoon drawings of big boobs in all the marketing material. I want my lady to think that, even though I spent the weekend in my bathrobe, smoking weed and playing video games, I did it in a way that was grim and deeply lonely, not titties and fast cars.

try ffxiii

ffxiii definitely one of the grimmest gaming experiences I've ever had, that's for sure

Last of Us imo

Perfect for an obsessive weekend delve. Not sure the weed will help though!

As much as I love Dark Souls, Last of Us might be the best bet for a weekend jam.

Haha if I said "I'm gonna play FFXIII all weekend" she'd probably call an ambulance. Nobody's stupid enough to voluntarily play FFXIII.

"FFXIII? Wait a minute, you're just waiting until I leave the house to take drugs, aren't you!"

"No, I really like the story and the linear non-branching gameplay option is really refreshing after playing the acclaimed and 17-year-old Final Fantasy Tactics repeatedly."

LOL If I had a PS3 I'd be playing Metal Gear Solid 3, cos I've only ever attempted it on emulator and it is just too slow to play at the moment.

It is funny to hear Major Tom explain things to Snake at an incredibly relaxed pace with that nice accent of his.

I went with The Last of Us. Daaaaamn.

PS3/PS4 player looking to zone out on a new game this weekend, any recs guys? I like very violent action games with RPG elements or non-JRPG RPGs with action elements.

New Wolfenstein? Watch Dogs? something else? doesn't have to be new.

(I usually play all the tentpole games-- in terms of the last 12 mos Far Cry 3, Borderlands 2, GTAV, Last of Us, Tomb Raider, GTAV, Ghosts, Mercenary Kings, Infamous Second Son, Dark Souls 2, XCOM are all accounted for).
This is crossposted to the what ru playing now thread, sorry but i simply can't take the risk

shit you DID already play tomb raider

Yeah, fun game but I only got about 10 hours out of it even with the stupid collectables. "This appears to be some kind of ancient coin! The nailpolish on it indicates it was used in an ancient jukebox!"

Sleeping Dogs?

btw, since I never post anymore and this is the PS3 thread, my last year of gaming can be summed up by the following, which I noticed last night:

I logged 12 more hours on Mercenary Kings than I did on GTAV! That blows my mind.

Played Sleeping Dogs, got bored of it once I was fully levelled up and never beat it, as often happens. You're on the right track though dudes! Keep it up!

Oh wait actually the reason I stopped playing it was I kept getting stuck coming out of the ocean on these fucking idiot rockfaces that you can't scale and are like 10 minutes on foot in either direction.

antexit what abt ass ass in screed

If you're up to date with the Arkhams then it does sound like Watch Dogs is probably what you're after, unless you want to save that for next gen (which I'm leaning towards doing).

you're long done with elder scrolls, yeah?

how about kingdoms of amalur or dungeons dogma?

or whatever the fuck those were called

Wolfenstein!

I hate Assassin's Creed. How come there is apparently no single period in all of history that people don't fucking blunder right into you when they see you walking toward them?

I am grudgingly leaning toward Watch Dogs (on PS4), which I fully expect to be another crappy Ubisoft game where I am forced to sit through 6 cumulative hours of unskippable cutscenes featuring a protagonist who looks and acts like some nerd in 1998's idea of a cool dude.

I ruined Skyrim for myself by grinding my character up to God Mode level, unfortunately. All other Elder Scrolls games are long done.

Dungeons Dogma looks cool but I think I want guns.

Is Wolfenstein actually good? Has anyone played it?

hey, dishonored!

only thing i know about Wolfenstein is this hilarious cutscene where Jimi Hendrix rails against The Man and then gives you acid

Beat Dishonored 2x. Maybe I need a life?

you need a more complex game.

Wolfenstein is pretty awesome. Not much in the way of RPG elements but top notch fps combat. Plus you can play it stealthy or play it guns blazing whatever suits you at the moment.

Wolfenstein is really, really good.

YAY! Thanks guys. Wolfenstein it is.

isnt wolfenstein set in a 60s where the nazis won?

does that means they ended up successfully killing all the jews?

and does that dampen at all the funhouse atmosphere of the world it takes place in?

The lead character is jewish, as are some NPCs, so the answer to your second question is no.
