Almost bought Outland, glad I didn't

WildArmed4282d ago

Same. I've had the money sitting on PStore for Outland for awhile, but I was always like "I'll buy it once I finish my backlog"

My backlog saved me monies :D

Emilio_Estevez4282d ago (Edited 4282d ago )

I would never buy new games if I told myself that. My backlog just keeps expanding, I can't help it! Another new one should be here this week :) , or maybe :( - not sure which face to use.

TheLastGuardian4282d ago

I bought Outland right from the main menu of the demo and it was well worth it. One of my favorite downloadable games. Let me know if you guys (Emilio or Skv) want to play Outland co-op.

I've been wanting to try Bloodrayne: Betrayal so good thing I held off on buying it.

TooTall194282d ago

It's very tough at times.

DaReapa4281d ago

@TooTall,

Tough, but rewarding. Need more like it.

WildArmed4281d ago

It's on, gimme a few days. I tend not to even pop online these days. But then we'll co-op the whole game through.

HighScore4281d ago

I'd be down for some co-op in Outland. I'm near the end of the single player campaign, but I still have a lot to do. I lost interest, because I don't know anybody who wants to co-op, so you'd be helping a brother out! Let me know if none of the other guys want to join you.

YESSS... this definitely makes up for the WD episodes :/ which i didn't want.

WildArmed4281d ago

They are pretty good, you should give them a try regardless.

I tried the first episode, and was pleasantly surprised.

phinch4281d ago

i didnt think id like them, but honestly i cant wait for each episode now

No FanS Land4281d ago

Sometimes I found the game to be exceptionally hard, but I'm still glad I bought it, it's really awesome. Well worth the money.

Feels like a good old snes side-scrolling adventure game.

yeahokchief4281d ago (Edited 4281d ago )

You are exactly what's wrong with the gaming industry.

"glad i didn't".

Yeah you didn't support the people who made it when they needed it. SO their publisher may get some money off this deal, but the odds of a sequel are like 0 now because you didn't support it.

Keep voting with your wallet like this and all you're going to see in stores is yearly iterations of call of duty or some other godawful yearly sequel.

I bought Outland on release and it was awesome.

Also I don't like the direction video game prices have been going. Just straight up charge me $70 on release and don't play games with dlc pricing. I want a full game for my money. Stop penalizing me for buying games on release by making them free later or including the dlc in supposed "game of the year" versions. You cant have 12 game of the years in 1 year.

Everyone should embrace what THQ is doing with darksiders 2. Free 90 day DLC pass for buying the game on release. You get a full game for paying full price. You get what you pay for. no nonsense.

rjdofu4281d ago (Edited 4281d ago )

You blame him on how he spend his money? LOL
Money can be spent on other better things you know.

"Everyone should embrace what THQ is doing with darksiders 2. Free 90 day DLC pass for buying the game on release. You get a full game for paying full price. You get what you pay for. no nonsense."

Are you advertising?

yeahokchief4280d ago

hell yes i'm advertising. that's a fucking rock solid deal compared to the rest of the shit that's being pulled on us. i will advertise the fuck out of thq's fair pricing because THEY'RE DOING IT RIGHT.

Bowzabub4281d ago

I bought it, but a long time ago. No sweat, glad that more people get to enjoy it.

I was planning to buy the walking dead episodes as soon as the 3rd one came out.. Thank goodness I didn't, ps+ is amazing!!

hkgamer4281d ago

yeah rental services that support sony and developers are great.

ImpliedDeception4281d ago

Actually, I don't see an expiration date on any psn games I get thru the service...

It appears as though Walking Dead (and anything else that isn't a full fat PS3 game) is mine.

IAmLee4281d ago

At least we ain't having to pay 40 quid/60 dollars a year to play online..

JAM_brz4281d ago (Edited 4281d ago )

What a stupid comment.

I have both PS and Xbox360, and for me, pay to play online it´s a big error of Microsoft. It´s better pay and gain some games, even if it´s have a time to expire, even because in this period of time I´ve finished the games.

moparful994281d ago (Edited 4281d ago )

@ALLWRONG It never ceases to amaze me how narrow minded people can be.. Sure if I stop paying for ps+ I lose the privelege of playing my games but with the stream of new and high quality games they give me every month I would be a fool to let my subscription expire, in fact once my initial sub ended I bought TWO years worth..

So in a sense I have 24 months worth of gaming for less then a bill... If you cant wrap your mind around how brilliant of a deal this is then I feel for you.. I will have a ps+ subscription for as long as Sony remains in the console business and thats a fact.. Its not being a sheep its not being a fanboy, its simply an awesome value and I applaud Sony for doing this..

Besides honestly how is this any different then and on demand games service?? Other then the fact that I get ALOT of free content on top of games... Your only fooling yourself!

-Ghost4282d ago

Looking forward to playing Outland

bubblebeam4281d ago

Dammit. I bought it like 2 months ago for 400msp on xbox Deal Of the week. Now I feel like kicking it over. At least theres even more on offer for PS+ than just outland.

I don't mean to sound like a fanboy, so don't flame me. But PS+ is so much better than XBL (My xbox live runs out in less than a week, not renewing until Halo 4 comes out, so I'm not a sony fanboY, DONT call me one).

I'm sure I speak for most people with xbl that the deal of the weeks have been pathetic this year. A week ago it was the davinci disappearance half price? lol.

I'm only bringing Microsoft into this (it is relevant) as I wish they would give us HALF of what ps+ has given us. About a month ago I got Infamous 2, Saints Row 2 and just cause 2 for ps+ FREE!

negroguy4282d ago

So getting outland.. I saw a Kamehameha in the gameplay that's instant download.

DaReapa4282d ago

Outland has to be one of the most underrated DL titles in recent memory. If you're a PS+ member and have been on the hunt for something unique, you owe it to yourself to at least try this game.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7215h ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii17h ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast14h ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM11h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife8m ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.

Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.

Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

One example

https://youtu.be/yKUGwlFJAH...

Tacoboto2d ago

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.

Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...

CrimsonWing692d ago

Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.

This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦‍♂️

remixx1161d 18h ago

Welcome to the internet crimson

shinoff21831d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.

I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also

Also crimson.

As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself

Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp

Tacoboto1d 10h ago

You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.

And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
