So does Just Cause 3 still run like ass on PS4?

Yes, I would like to know this too. Although I did ask in another topic maybe a month ago, and the answer was a yes back then, so I doubt anything has changed.

I don't own it, but the last I've seen from GAF was when the "JC3 runs like utter shit" (Paraphrased) topic was bumped about a month ago with a patch, followed by a digital foundry video saying that it, basically, runs worse than at launch. Reports to the contrary would have its own topic (or even an article on Eurogamer) so...probably pass.
They're still releasing DLC though!
Speaking of how games run, how was Spiderman for the Vita? Got the craving for a Spider-Man game to last me until the Insomniac game comes out.

On a thriller night!
Unfortunately the framerate is still really inconsistent.
I actually got enticed into purchasing the XLversion in a previous sale, as Just Cause 3 tends to go on sale regularly.
My only hope at this stage is that they release a Pro patch.
There's a really good game in there but it's not playable in my opinion in it's current state.
I have to say that I'm really loving the regular PSN sales we tend to have, the one thing I'd love to have though is a refund policy like steam where we're given a limited time to try a game and return it should we not like it, it runs terribly or whatever else.
It's not fair that consumers are sometimes stuck with broken games, the positive is that it would also increase sales as there are certain games I've been tempted by but always cautious incase I don't like them.

It's a shame the game's still a mess, I really enjoyed Just Cause 2. Goofy fun blowing stuff up and all.

If there was ever any game worth its price, it's The Witness.
There's probably more, but yeah, this game was even worth its original price when it launched. Just plain beautiful.

Just went through... only four games I don't own, with one of those (Stardust) of interest to me, Anyone played Primal Carnage -- is it worthwhile?
Also, most if not all of these games have been deeply discounted before, and it might be cheaper to wait for them to be on sale again. For instance, Soma is £24 here, but it's been as cheap as £5 previously.
Seems like a good price to buy this. I only have an EU Vita TV though. Does it work on that?

Bugger, that reminds me that I forgot to buy Banner Saga before the sale ended :-(

Got Bound and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, I know little to nothing about either of them so this should be fun!

Anything new going up or being added today? Edit - just seen your post, Bishop. Never mind.
I've not played it but always assumed it was a typical Activision hash job to a system that doesn't have the power to do the job properly without serious optimisation.
Yes, I would love a 2 hour refund option like Steam - I would definitely try my hand at games which show up in sales that I'm on the fence about, like first example Just Cause 3, Mad Max, Metal Gear Solid V, The Witness and Street Fighter V, all of which have been in sales recently but I'm still not keen on getting digital games as there is no recompense if you don't like it or it's busted in most cases.

I shouldn't have bought Firewatch. That was a mistake.
On the other hand, Hyper Light Drifter is all kinds of ace. (I don't think it's on sale anymore though.)

Everywhere but PSN seems to suggest that the premium version is the game + season pass, as you thought. Pretty crap that the page description doesn't mention it.
Triggerhappytel

Looks like it includes the season pass.

Actually, buy this game even if you have played it on the PS2, even if you hated it, because it's literally an entirely new game and an amazing one at that. I can't stop playing, it's eye-poppingly beautiful, the story is every bit as good, and now it's infinitely more fun to play.

Do how does Odin Sphere compare to Dragon's Crown? It looked fairly similar from the video I watched on PSN.
Dragons Crown is more akin to genres like Golden Axe with constrained fighting areas and an emphasis on multiplayer/coop, whereas Odin Sphere Remake is more fast-paced and focused on the singleplayer and its narrative.
Odin Sphere is a lot more narrative focused than Dragon's Crown. The tone is a lot darker, more steeped in misery as opposed to DC's funny tongue-in-cheek 'story'
Honestly, tho, it's a lot closer to Muramasa than Dragon's Crown.
Triggerhappytel
Member
Oh cool, that sounds neat. I really enjoyed Dragon's Crown and Muramasa (probably Muramasa slightly more). Although in all honesty I probably won't get Odin Sphere now as I've got a huge backlog and I've little time for games at the moment.
Glass Rebel
Member
There are similarities in gameplay but Odin Sphere is single-player only and has a stronger focus on story. Great performance on the Vita as well, compared to Dragon's Crown which has a fair bit of slowdown.

Hopefully there's a Halloween sale in a couple of days - I'm hoping for Resident Evil 5 (and maybe 6) and The Evil Within 4.
EDIT - and I wouldn't mind picking up The Organ Trail and Neverending Nightmares on my Vita.

I would definitely buy Resi 4 again, but I don't think it'll show up. It feels too soon.
i fully expect every RE game to be on sale.
Hopefully in a couple of days we get a Halloween one
