Need For Speed Rivals Complete Edition for $9 is a steal. I might finally pick up Persona 4: Golden. I've heard good things, but have no idea what the game is.

Yeah, on PS4. Read on...

Yeah, bro, I am! A few of us picked up the free-to-play Four Kings Casino and Slots game on PS4. Looks like you can't reserve a table but if six of us show up at the same time we can grab one in their live lobby.

So I guess Dragon Age for PS4 at $14 is a great price. How hardcore of an RPG is that? Is it something a very casual guy could tackle?

Yeah, you can set the difficulty way down and not have too much a problem. The only issue I had with that game is that it turned into a "collect-a-thon", similar to Ubisoft games where you just do a bunch of fetch quests and collecting shit. It got old fast. But it's a huge game with a lot to see. Totally worth $14 if you have the time.

Would anyone be able to answer a question for me?

The only differences between Far Cry 3 and the deluxe edition that I would be interested in are:
How much more gameplay do those add, and do you feel it's worth an extra $3?

There is so much to do in Far Cry 3, I wouldn't think you would need to pay extra for a couple more missions.

Thinking about Project Cars (still amazed they used that crappy placeholder title as the game's actual name) for $12. Thought on the game? or ?

I did not enjoy Project Cars much at all. But I lean towards arcade racers.

I haven't played Project Cars but for me personally I'm sticking with Driveclub (I think you have it too). I don't play racers all that often so DC is perfect for me. Plus, I still have NFS Rivals Complete I picked up cheap. I do wish that DC had more American cars though, especially the muscle cars of the 60s/70s as those are my favorite. I'm pretty sure PC does have a few of those if that is your thing too.

Hi there,

This is the owner of SaugaGamers. We had that deal going and instead of 48 hours we ran out of stock in about 14 hours I believe. We do have it up right now for $39.99 USD which is still about $10 USD cheaper

Thought I'd reach out to the dvdtalk community and let you guys know

Regards,
Shehzan

Sorry to be slow replying.

It's my favorite PS4 game and has gotten better with each patch. I'm heavily biased as I come from a PC sim racing background though. I played a tonne of Forza, but Project Cars beats that easily for best sim racer on a console IMO.

I paid full price and I've bought all the add-ons and have no regrets.

Thanks, that's what I was guessing. Unless one of those missions was balls-out awesome, I didn't think they would be needed.

Heads-up -- Oddword : New 'n' Tasty has come out today for the Vita and is cross-buy. What's also cool is much like when they put Resogun on the Vita for Cross-Buy, they've done something with the original game so that if you had previously grabbed it as a PS Plus freebie, you can now grab it for free as a true purchase. Just add it to the cart and check out.

Yeah chuck, I had to tidy up the Cut & Paste. But it's fixed now.

I highly recommend Skullgirls 2nd Encore at that price (even if you have the previous version). It's been remastered, rebalanced and has all the DLC (which, yes, was free if you grabbed it in time before). It's playable on the PS4 with a PS3 Fightstick as well.

Hmmm, I've been wanting to check out The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

Stein's Gate is that cheap? I don't know why I keep buying Vita games when I don't even get to open them before it's dirt cheap.

Some great stuff in there too bad I own everything I would be interested in. Might grab Stein's Gate and dust off my PS3.

Reminder : Flash Sale ends tomorrow morning. I picked up a few things. I actually quite liked Fat Princess Adventures. It's a lite, family-friendly Diablo clone with local or online co-op play. It has a neat gimmick where you can change classes on the fly at numerous checkpoints. You pick up class-specific loot (which is shared) and gold (which is not) which is used for upgrades and cosmetic items for your character. I thought it was fun, even though I read it's short.
