I need that 10% discount sony, I need to get my alchemy on.

They begin again

Got a few questions about DCU on the PS4. Does the dlc/currency/etc go on sale often and what is/what isn't worth it? Also, has the game changed much in the last 8 months or so? I tried it before and liked it, MMOs on consoles are nice, but I remember it being a bit janky and having a somewhat rough framerate. I've been suddenly hit with a wave of Batman/DC addiction and it sounds like something I'd like to try out again.

Really just assume I'm a brand new player trying to figure out how to get the most out of starting out.

Wait, all of the Atelier games go on a sale fairly often, I've gotten all the Arland Plus ones that way - which is good, because I can't really seem to finish them and will probably buy Ayesha Plus of a sale too.

That US store sale is awesome. I was going to get Disgaea 4 but decided to hold out for the first sale of January just in case and my patience got rewarded big time. Wow!

That us a pretty excellent sale. It's also the first time I've seen P4G for below $20.

That's definitely the price I was waiting on for a digital Disgaea 4. Might pick up NFS: Rivals for $12 since every other racing game on PS4 last year turned out to be a bust for me.

I wish we had an idea about that discount coupon. I could pick up a few things today and pre-order Grim Fandango all at once.

Well, the $10 price will finally get me to bite on Tactics Ogre. I couldn't justify $20 for it, as good as it is, but $10 is a no-brainer. Gonna get Brandish for sure, and if that 10% off code ever shows I'll consider Ayesha as well.

Isn't that up to the four week after release? Although it's unlikely that it'll go on sale during that period anyway, that's true.

How is FFIX on PS3? It's probably my favorite FF, and I haven't played it in at least ten years. Might be worth dusting off the PS3 for.

It's the one that holds up best from the PSX days. Runs fine on PS3/Vita

Friendly reminder that if you have both a PS3 and a PS4 and are looking to get FF14, buy it for PS3 and just do the free upgrade to PS4 since it's far cheaper.

you launch it on ps3, and theres a link on the logon page to upgrade to ps4

you cant play it on ps3 anymore unless you buy another ps3 license, but who cares. the ps4 version runs awesome. it's basically PC ultra mode with slightly longer load times

edit: also vita remote play is awesome with it.

It looks like that lovely Fat Princess f2p match 3 game came out on mobile, it doesn't seem all great BUT if you get far enough in it you get a free copy of the PS3 version so if your willing to put in some time you can get a pretty good game that I'm not sure anyone actually plays anymore.

Yeah, they usually say it's just for the first week and then leave it up for a month, but is anyone here willing to risk missing out on the free swimsuits and dresses?!

Yeah basically. It's super painless. The downside is you have to launch it from PS3 first and activate it before you can get it for PS4, you can't just buy it on PS3 and immediately upgrade.

The good thing is AFAIK you don't have to update the game fully, just enough to log in and activate it. But you still have to download a few gigs before you can get to that point.

For a mere $20 you can own the two greatest games ever made (Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 The Golden) on the Vita. Not bad.

Yeah it's good. I love them both. LUCT is more deep than KOL. The only downside is you can't turn people into weapons. Which sucks, that was awesome. There's no emblems either.

You actually CAN turn people into weapons, but not until the postgame. You don't get to break the game in half with an early snap. Anyway, LUCT is better in almost every way than Knight of Lodis. Absolutely buy it.

LUCT is very, very good. I liked it better than Knights of Lodis, but that might just come down to personal preference. It's similar to Tactics in that there are some mechanics that you might want to choose to ignore unless you want to utterly break the game in half.

Consoles have text input systems, you can also usually plug in keyboards. The PS4 has a big touchpad on it that functions like a mouse.

You can get a USB keyboard pretty cheap and most work with Sony's poo poo. I got a ten dollar one with huge keys meant for old people from the Dollar Store and I never looked back.

Knight of Lodis isn't anywhere in the same category as Let Us Cling Together. LUCT is so good. Everything about LUCT is fantastic. Everyone needs to own this game. :argh:

Your avatar/title combo warms my heart and brightens my day. (but yeah some of these are kind of garbage. Wasn't Tearaway like seven bucks last year?)

Also I'm guessing Chronophantasma isn't cross-buy?
