Is Shenmue 3 any good? I played the first 2 originally on dreamcast. The 3rd one seems to have gotten mixed reviews.

I thought it was awesome. Not worth a 19 year wait and dated in some areas(maybe on purpose) but I still can't believe it's only $4 for everything.

Are there any real cheap games in this sale that count as a “full game purchase”?

Woof!

I take back my previous Frisky compliment.

Got Calisto Protocol from gamefly rental.. trying so hard to get into it. But combat is just killing it for me. Wander into a room... roll the dice on who I'm gonna swing at in a horde and who's gonna kill me from another side. Atmosphere and graphics are cool, but just not scratching that dead space itch yet

That’s what I heard. It’s the gameplay that ruins it. Sound design, graphics and all that is good though

Any paid game counts.

I actually love the gameplay in Callisto Protocol. Dodging takes practice but it’s a fun system IMO. Also need to be sure to use stealth. There are times when if you walk into an area, you get swarmed. Crouch and move slowly in the same area and breeze through while taking out a few enemies with a stab from behind along the way.

I think the problem with a lot of players is that they are wanting to play it like a standard action game when it’s a different animal. One of my favorite games of 2022.

I can't believe that Shenmu 3 with all its DLC is only $3.99. I bought it at full price physical at launch and then bought the DLC whenever they went on sale I think for like $5 or $7 or something. Haven't even played the DLC yet. Four bucks for that game and all the DLC is an absolute steal.

I saw it on sale and it's mildly tempting for such a low price but Shenmue 1 was one of my most tedious Platinums ever. I can appreciate that it laid the groundwork for things like the Yazuka series but man, was it a chore to play. I've heard 3's Plat is even worse...

If you thought 1 and 2 were tedious, 3 is even worse.  I get they tried to keep the same feel of the old games, but they made design choices that made things even more sluggish.  And this is coming from someone who replayed 1 and 2 before 3 and still enjoyed them.  My biggest issue was their new "stamina" system where they basically just made your stamina and your health the same thing.  And if you decided to run anywhere, your stamina would go down (to a point, not enough to kill you) and you would have to eat food to refill it.  So going anywhere meant you had to sacrifice health for speed, you're forced to either walk everywhere slowly or make sure you had enough food on you or were at least near food to buy.  Made the game so annoying.  Not to mention they basically padded the story by making you do the same things twice, just in different locations.

I mean, if you really want to play it, $4 is a great price.  I bought the base game on or near release then bought all the DLC later for super cheap, but I don't know if I'll ever go back to play any of it.

goldeneye64 showed me that Costco has PlayStation Gift Cards $100 worth for $80 now too if you are a Costco member. Get those 3000 deals for even a little bit cheaper.

Going to buy Ender Lilies. Think I will wait on Salt and Sacrifice considering the Ok reviews. Price will probably come down even further.

Played further into Calisto Protocol, finally into it. But combat is still meh. Not a stealth game when you sneak around and monsters pop out of vents on all sides. Need a dang dodge roll for this melee game.

Big update for TMNT Shredder's Revenge:

Yeah the focus on melee combat would be fine if the combat didn't completely suck. Just so much potential wasted.

you seen that shredders revenge psn store cover image? yeesh who's preschooler ruined it lol

Is Valkyrie Elysium worth $30 (or worth $45 for Lenneth also?)? I know it's not near the same as VP2 was on PS2 but curious if it's worth buying while half price

Sounds like it's a pretty generic action RPG. Might be worth $30 but not particularly memorable.

For anyone familiar with how Family accounts work on PSN.  If I buy something on a child account, it will only be available to that child account?  So, I should always buy from the Main/Parent account so every child account will have access to it?

Seems like it since GameStop only sells pre owned. Sucks cuz I was waiting for it to drop to rebuy it since I traded it back for $50+ last year

I seen some garbage looking games when I put the lowest price on top in the sales. 9c game, 24c games thought Sony was getting rid of them. I know I'm being rude about them without playing them but dam "lady in a leotard with a gun" like WTF. Anyways "I am the hero" for $2 heard was good but gets boring I might pick anyway though just for sidescroller beat'em up.

They've stopped approving new ones. They aren't going to remove existing ones, and they're still going to allow ones to release later if they've already been approved. I believe they have made existing ones harder to find in the store, though.

I was thinking about that same thing.

There needs to be a sorting filter "Hide games that suck"

I would also like a filter for "Hide games that I'm not interested in" but that might be asking for too much

Still available through the Square Enix website for 69 but retailers seem to have quit carrying the ps5 version in favor of the ps4 version.

As long as it's your home console, yes buy it on your account then everyone on that console can play the game.

I dont recommended using a child account. I made that mistake and now my teenager can't buy resident evil on their own account
