Do you feel the same way?
It's not complete trash. But like others have said there are so many so much better ways to spend your time gaming nowadays.

On a financial level, I have no problem paying $5 for Knack. But on a philosophical level, I think I would betray my morals by not waiting for the hallowed mythical month where it appears on PS+.

You tell me I didn't build that?

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.
Had a slightly weird issue with the PS store when I was trying to download the new Diablo expansion, I want to know if there might have been a better way to do this or if this could just be the store acting completely normally. We've got two consoles, and one copy of Diablo 3 on disk. Diablo 3 is almost never on sale so we were going to get it when it next fell to ~£15, and the new full-game-plus-DLC bundle was ~£15 more than the Necromancer DLC itself. Figured this would be a good opportunity to get rid of the disk.

So I downloaded the DLC onto my flatmate's console because he wanted to try it right away, and then went to download the full game on my own console so I can try it whenever I've finished Rocket League. It finished downloading then wouldn't work. Insisted the game still needed a disk. It wasn't downloadable from the library, nor from the store page, I ended up having to uninstall the game completely and then redownload the game.

So, for future reference, before I decide on replacing any more disk games, is there a less dumb way to do this?

Installs from disc don't work with digital licenses. I'm not sure why you'd need to delete it to be able to download it digitally, though. Not sure if that's normal but I might just not be remembering.

What's the typical delay on the Horizon platinum theme? I got the trophy about 18 hours ago but no email yet. It looks like if it never shows up I can contact support and prove I got it for a code, so at what point should I give up and do that?

I got mine about 24 hours after achieving the platinum. Depends on how badly you want the theme.

I see that Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition is $12.99 CAD right now with the Mid-Year Sale, would anyone recommend it or should I just wait until Battlefront 2 (assuming it's not as terrible at launch as I heard this one was)? I played the beta ages ago but can't really remember if I liked it or not, I've mostly enjoyed DICE's recent Battlefield games if that means anything.

I enjoyed it for a couple of hours. If you think 13 bucks is worth that much, at least PS4 is the right platform for it

It was fine to dick around with as a phone game. I wouldnt dedicate couch time to it. Looks like its all that in app purchases of the phone game and thats about it. Try it for free on android first if you have ANY device.

I played it like 5 times and tried all the strategies I could and was done. But thats me I saw a guy get all the dlc and play if for 3 months. All portable mind you.

Blowin' up da moon.
This discussion is from a couple pages ago but for me Nier:Automata is a JRPG with phenomenal combat. Others see it as an ARPG with pretty good combat. Some see it as an Character Action game with too much talking and bad to middling fighting. I don't really feel any one of these opinions are wrong it just really depends on what you're there for.

If Attack on Titan was 20 dollars I'd probably purchase it. Do you have the option to remove damage numbers and stuff so my game will look more like an anime? I've not watched the anime past the tenth episode but it looks like it'd make a better video game.

If you have a PSVR, grab Battlefront immediately so you can play the X-wing mission. That's worth $10 all by itself.

Yeah, I checked out those numbers and ending up saying "why not", I figure it's something to check out (along with grabbing How to Survive 2 for $5). With that and 7 Days to Die being like, $14 a few days ago I'm pretty happy with these sales cus I love me some local co-op. Buying NieR: Automata for $60 at a local game store is pretty good considering I haven't noticed if it's on sale yet in the store.

The game has apparently changed a lot. If you like CYOA narrative games like FTL or Rimworld or Stellaris or w/e, it goes in that direction where the ways in which you can gently caress up end up doing bizarre things like resulting in the world worshiping your disease as a religion.
