The original Rayman is still great in my opinion. Good classic 2D side scrolling action.
I just paid like $25 a few weeks ago on Amazon, ugh.

Rayman 2 is absolutely amazing (in my top 10 games of all time), though the PS1 version is the gimped version.
Play it on something else if you can, though I am gonna try out the PS1 version to see how it stacks up.
Woo, buddy! So excited about all the games I bought today.
I may get the Mega Man X's, Strider 2, Klonoa, and Warriors of the Lost Empire as well before the sale ends. Will probably get at least one more before the sale ends. I love me some platformer.
What's wrong with the PS1 version of Rayman 2? I was considering it.
Just a notice to anyone filtering by system: The Vita icon does not show all of the PS1 games for some reason. I almost missed out on a few because of this.

Not the complete experience. Shortened levels (overall, to simplify the experience, or so I've heard), and some are gone entirely.
Also, not as good graphics, and the voice acting isn't as charming as the gibberish spoken in other versions (these last two points aren't as important; the main thing is that you aren't getting the complete experience).

Seriously wtf? There are a whole wack of PS classics for 99 cents.
Maybe it's a terrible sale on PS4, but I'm walking away with Fatal Frame 1,2,3 and Silent Hill for less than $5.
It's for vita/PSP; a remake of X1. It's good.
Yeah it's good. It's a remake of the original game with additional content.
You have to transfer from the PS3.
More like bayou and MGR. So really really good.

Oh shit, Norn 9 and Code Realize one sale! The Vita sale is actually pretty good.
The whole sale is good in my eyes. Lots of PS3 and Vita stuff. PS4 is slightly lacking, but it's just a Flash Sale. Those early posts had me expecting waaay worse.

Bought Silent Hill like three days ago. Goddammit.
How much content are we talking about? I like that price a lot, but I don't have a ton of time.

You'll be fine. Campaign is short enough to complete in 1 day
At that price you can't go wrong with the PS1 version. Rayman 2 is a great game either way but....
The PS2 version (Rayman 2: Revolution) has more content than the PS1 version and it looks better.

or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Realize This Assgrab is Delicious
I think this is a great sale.
Definitely picking up the Fatal Frames, Bionic Commando games, and PS4 Strider.
Is it still the case that Final Fight Double Impact and Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 have some weird server check in DRM in order to play? I remember that being that thing, only on PS3.... Kind of scary that they could shut down the server and you can't play your own game someday.

Keep in mind that Rayman 1 is one of the hardest most unforgiving platformers I've ever played.

What are people's thoughts on Alice?

Monday somewhere between noon and 5pm eastern time. I think it says 3pm eastern but you never know with Sony, store updates are all over the place. Best to buy before noon just to be safe.
Its a game that starts out really strong but gets repetitive as the game goes on. Its a very long platformer and its mechanics are repeatedly re-used. The level design is also a bit unimaginative; you are just hoping over bottomless platforms for 30-40% of the game. Sure, many platformers do this too, but its really blant in Alice and that is distracting
. I loved its combat system a lot and visually its one of the better looking third party PS3 games out there. The story is interesting as well and the fact its bundled with a port of Alice 1 does a lot to make it a really worthwhile package.
Just that Madness Returns while a good game, has issues holding it back from greatness. I pushed myself to beat the game when I got it during a good sale in 2013; never do that for most platformers
. I liked the game but have issues with it sadly.

Given what you like, but all the issues, is it worth the $1.99 to you?
I got the game for five bucks and thought it was well worth the money
! Go for it buddy XD!orthodoxy1095

In that case, I think I will. It's only two bucks, so if I hate the repetition, I guess I can always drop itI got the game for five bucks and thought it was well worth the money
I like the gameplay mechanics of alice, easy to play and some good to great puzzles.

Abyss Odyssey's not bad
Was afraid of that. I'm not home until Wednesday and can't remember my password to buy online...
Is it supposed to be any good? And is the PS4 version better than the Vita one?
