NA/SA PSN Critics' Choice Sale begins 2/5
- Thread starter Captain of Outer Space
- Start date
This is also an issue on the base PS4. (On top of a lot of other performance issues on base PS4)
it's wild though. Out of pause it'll briefly come to a damn near complete stand still
Yeah, I couldn't understand it but could count on it to happen every time.
Not buying Control until it's $20.
CTR and DoA6 are tempting, but as a matter of principle I really hate games at $24 and just wait until they're $20 so we'll see. Really annoying when you buy PSN credit in $20 increments.
Need for Speed Payback for $6 is so cheap I could just throw it on there...

Only one specific room tanked the FPS. Plus everytime you exit the pause menu theres stutter for a couple of seconds. Besides that it's great.
This feels like any other of the dozen sales that have been happening back to back lately. Kinda had to chuckle at it being called Critic's Choice.
Its not much but the Jedi Fallen order Deluxe Edition is the deal of the week at $52.49
Hitman 2 season pass has 2 big new maps, right? That's probably worth it. I'm not interested in the Sniper stuff.

Me too. Anyone know if Deluxe Edition includes future updates? I'm a little unclear on how it's going to work since I know there are some more updates coming.
It really never does eh. I am glad I got it last year when it went for $49.99 CAD (Hard Copy). That is a steal for a game that never goes on sale
Kind of weird but that all products show the "% off" tag.
Tempted to grab the Control Season Pass for that price BUT the damn thing has been on sale constantly and nothing has come out for it yet. I might wait to see how good the first DLC is before I buy it the next time it's on sale and probably even lower than $15...

Yeah, I don't see a reason to grab it until something is out since it can always get cheaper.
Deluxe includes the first season pass. The second season pass has to be bought separately.
Also, the game is most definitely worth it at that price.
Is Days Gone decent? I know it had terrible reviews, but the setting seems very interesting to me.

Deal of the Week is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Edition:

Ok. Well If I get to play as 2B I guess it's still worth a buy.
I don't see anything really that stands out to me. I suppose Superhot, Sea of Solitude, Need For Speed Payback, and ME: Andromeda on the cheap. But all those games are usually on sale for the same prices eventually. The Hitman 2 Expansion Pass also looks tempting. Otherwise, I think the sale that just ended was much better.
How close of an approximation to classic Blitz is Mutant League Football? Does it have the same feel?
As someone who didn't expect much from it and waited for it to be on sale, I'd say it was more than decent. The setting was definitely the best part. I really enjoyed the open world and the emergent gameplay I experienced in it. The world always felt dangerous and alive. I ended up enjoying the characters and overall story despite the fact that I think the general biker aesthetic is kind of lame. I will say the pacing of the main story was really off and it was too long. I took a break from the game at a certain point because it was dragging. Still I finished it and I did like the high points. Looking forward to a sequel.
Both are good options but SFV is the safer choice cause it has a much higher playerbase + crossplay meaning finding people of your skill level should never be a problem.
Soul Calibur 6 has better single player content though (IMO)
I dont think its advertised in the sale but a bunch of the SIMS 4 add on are on sale until 3/4 to go along with The Sims 4 added to PlayStation Plus
I think he'll be playing single player only so SC IV sounds like a better choice.
Tempted to get a digital copy of SCVI. I want to play it more, but my PS4 is fussy about discs and swapping is a pain.
Days Gone is absolutely worth $20 if you like open world games. I was pleasantly surprised by both the story and gameplay.
If you like open world games, it's absolutely decent. I put in several hours of it myself but dropped it. It got repetitive and boring for me. But it should be said I'm also not much of an open world person anymore.
I had my problems with it (lots of filler in terms of quest design, never thought they nailed the horde mechanics in a satisfying way, and the story is pretty up and down) but it checks a lot of the same boxes as most UBI style open world games. If that's remotely your jam you could do a lot worse for $20.

I really enjoyed it. Beautiful Graphically. Really nice story, if a little over simplified on the emotional themes it tries to cover. Probably about 5-6 hours to complete the main story. Thought the platforming/interaction with the world was a lot better than I was expecting. The combat later in the game is very simple, but still relatively fun. Thought it was worth the game at full price, definitely worth it on sale.
I thought the exact same about NFS Rivals 3 or 4 years ago and played it for less than an hour...
Does this run okay on a base PS4? I heard stuff at launch about it struggling on the older hardware. I've been hoping for a Stadia release but I really want to play it.

I was having more fun with it than expected when I gave it a real shot last year. It fell by the wayside because I hit a planet that I didn't really enjoy, and the game crashed a couple times on it (PC).
Things are still caching right at go live, so you need to give it some time before they appear 100% correctly.
I played through it on a PS4 slim in December. Personally there were only 2-3 sections where a lot of things in the environment were being destroyed that the frame rate tanked. If you're highly sensitive to that, maybe avoid but it didn't detract from my experience.
