Ni No Kuni 2 is tempting me pretty hard because of that 20 percent off coupon, but I have FC5 and Y6 coming out in the next month. How long is NNK2 supposed to end up being? Those two games plus finishing FFXV is a lot of long games, but if it’s on the shorter end, I might pick it up as a palate cleanser.

I’m signed up for Sony rewards, too. The only coupon I got was the one the goon linked earlier for watching the ads.

You may need to do it with a web browser, but go to your account management stuff and there should be something for opting in to emails.

Apparently if you change your email address (you can change it back later) you kick Sony in the pants about it and they start sending you emails again. Just in general anything that affects your account in a big way like that seems to do it. When I had to deactivate 2FA to get back into my own account, I started getting emails again.

OK! I am doing the last few for the moment. I do not want to overload the mods, so all up to my post here will be in the queue, then I will request any more after this point at another junction :)

Also I found the best new avatar and just had to apply it 10 days early!

Bloodborne tag would be pretty cool thanks man.

Same, but I'll probably skip FC5 until it's on sale.

Please don't give me a gang tag as I find it unfair to my favorite video games to give just one game a tag on my avatar. And on that note

I’ve been a big ol’ Far Cry fan since the beginning. Skipped Primal, though. If they rereleased FC2 and tuned up the fast travel, respawning checkpoints (though I didn’t run into that too much) and malaria I’d buy it in a second. Stuff like the weapon degradation led to all sorts of cool “oh gently caress!” moments where I had to think fast to find a new gun or avoid the rocket that just landed at my feet. Did play that on PC, though, where the save system was way less onerous.

I just want to second this as it's what I wound up doing and now I get the weekly update emails that include the occasional coupon.

Does Sennheiser make good stuff in reasonable price ranges? I eventually plan on upgrading from a USB headset to Sennheiser headphones + USB mic but I am not looking to drop the price of a 1070 for it.

I second the recommendation for the HyperX Clouds. They're real comfortable, sound quality is good, and it's nice being able to disconnect the mic and use it as a pair of headphones without a bunch of extra baggage.

Yeah, I have the pc360 which when new were around $250 but I caught them on sale for half that. The new version is also down around 100. https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-360-Special-Gaming-Headset/dp/B01LDTRJG4 Note this model is open cup so people around you will hear what you do, but ears don't get as hot over long periods. They have closed cup ones for similar prices too.

Plugged into the controller they work great. I have a big head and most headphones squeeze too much and these have been good, though do sometimes wish they were wireless. On a PC with a headphone amp they sound wonderful.

Though with an adapter like I posted you can use any old PC headset through the controller so it opens up a ton of options.
