PSN Store Updates: Thread 02

[Paddy]

So many items in that sale. Although its great for PSN users I wish they'd take a break with the sales. I can barely keep up with all these offers.

Might nab some of the PSP discounts later. Nice to have some of those games in digital form for the VITA, looking nice and vibrant on the OLED screen for sure.

Stop stealing from wallet already SONY!

Guess ill finally dip with Ni no Kuni as I never got round to buying it.

A joke (turkeys hate farms, because we eats them for our din-dins), or do the residents of Turkey the country disapprove of... something?

[Dogg Thang]

Turkey has two farmer's revolutions in its history and the last one in 1927 was a particularly bloody affair but it's only in recent years that the country seems to have got more sensitive about it. The last few Harvest Moon games ran into trouble, being deemed insensitive especially as the design of one of the main characters in one of them was said to resemble hero/monster (depending on what side you fall on) Karakurt Cerci which is kind of ridiculous given that Natsume likely has no interest in Turkish history. Nevertheless it was an odd coincidence that one of the picture frames in a house in the game contained the message "Rise up working brothers" in Turkish so who knows...

[Asura]

Gonna ask here and try to save a thread - is Sonic Unleashed as bad as people say?

I ask because I know the Werehog stuff is meant to be like a **** God of War, but I really enjoyed the Unleashed level in Generations (Rooftop Run). I've never seen it so cheap.

Now, y'see, you're joking, but if Stephen Fry said this I'd probably believe him for a moment before thinking about it.

Asura, the Sonic levels are some of the best I've ever played (especially when you max out his speed in the game). If it helps look at some speed runs of stages on Youtube to understand better. The werehog stages are a drag and don't contrast well with the much speedier and vibrant Sonic stages. The game might have been better had SEGA just done 12-14 zones of high-speed Sonic action tbh.

If you're willing to battle through the slower werehog sections then fair enough go ahead and buy it. Or you could get Sonic Generations which has a much better balance between the stages in my experience.

What proportion of the game is Werehog?

If it's 50/50, I'll probably not bother.

You had me going there, 100%, until this last line!

[Paddy]

It is roughly 50/50 Asura (you play each area as regular Sonic and his werehog variant). My friend summed it up well with his main issue with the game when he used to work on a games magazine. He said something along the lines of "why would I play 45-50 mins of slow DMC-style brawling to then bother with 5-10 mins of exhilirating Sonic gameplay?". I couldn't really provide a counter arguement to that.

That said, if you still want to play it and work through the slower parts of the game (the werehog stages and collecting emblems in-game) then the regular Sonic levels are an absolute delight. Again have a peak on Youtube and that'll show you what you need to know.

[Asura]

Just wanted to post that if you're thinking of getting Final Fantasy X/2 on PS3 via PSN, the game is 23gb, but you'll need FORTY SIX GIG free to download the thing.

I wanted to download it tonight and I've had to practically bleach my freaking console to get it to happen. I'm not impressed at all, considering that the instant it finishes downloading it'll shrink to 23gb again and I'll have to redownload Zone of Enders and half a dozen other games.

[buster_broon]

Its the same with every download I'm afraid

You need the space to download it and Install it and its always been the way

[wakka]

This is why I end up spending a not inconsiderable amount of money on storage for my systems. You can never have too much these days (especially on PlayStation gear due to Plus).

[VR46]

True, but you can always delete PS+ stuff and redownload it easily, no point having it sitting on your hard drive for months without being touched - for example.
