If you don't already like Neptunia, I'd suggest waiting for it to go cheaper. It's not horrible, but it's about as barebones mechanically as an SRPG can get.

About time Frozen Synapse Vita was on sale, was disappointed with how things are handled.
It was released on Vita first, then PS3. Not cross buy as I found out when they gave PS3 version on Plus. Think I'll buy it and Jamestown+ for 8.80.
Wish they would've put Frozen Synapse on PS4 as well considering it was released just a few months back.

I have a problem. I own every vita game in this sale but the more expensive Hyperdimension Neptunia games and Switch Galaxy Ultra.
I seem to remember people taking issue with SGU -- that it wasn't as good as the PSM version for some reason. Is it 'bad'? Or just 'not as good' but still worth playing?
Absolutely.
Borderlands 1 is a bit bland... it's like they had a great idea for a game, but forgot to add the 'soul'. Sort of like the first Assassin's Creed, maybe.
Borderlands 2 really fleshed everything out and it was a fantastic, fantastic experience. Playable solo, but really shines coop (I coop'd with randoms but befriended a few and started playing with them regularly).
My only debate is whether to get it for PS4 when I already plat'd it on ps3.

IIRC BL Handsome collection doesn't include 1. Just 2, pre-sequel and all DLC.

You got a lot of great stuff man
! Another World is (I believe) cross-buy, so you have that for PS3 and Vita too.
Heard good things about the Mass Effect series, so hope you enjoy them
.Own ReBirth 1 and Lumines: ES, so I can say that both are well worth it. The former will give you a lot of hours of fun JRPG action while the latter is one of the best puzzle games on the Vita. Don't own ReBirth 2 yet, but its core gameplay is lifted from ReBirth 1, so it should be very enjoyable

Thanks! I loved Another World on PC but never quite finished it, I hope to finish it on PS4 this time! Mass Effect games I played on 360 but I have been really wanting to replay them again, I figured now was the time. Lumines I've been wanting to play for ages but it seemed to never go on sale! The Re;Birth games are the ones I knew the least about (outside of playing the first game on PC for an hour), so I'm looking forward to diving into those. This has been a really good flash sale!

Available in Canada as well..albeit prices are a bit higher I think.
Fate told me to not get it.
The Playstation giveth, and the Playstation taketh away.
Is the Borderlands 2 in The Handsome Collection a different set of trophies to the PS3/Vita version of the game?
I started it on Vita and after a while couldn't handle it, it's sitting on my PS3 to finish but I haven't been able to motivate myself to pick it up.
Also Frozen Synapse Prime on Vita, thoughts?

I might get Lumines if the price is right. Thanks OP.
Well poop.
If they were the same I think I'd buy it right away.... Now I'm super conflicted!
I guess I could buy the PS3 version of the Pre-sequel, but I own a PS4!!
$8.10 if that interests you.
I'm still salty the game didn't have a full trophy set!

Pick-ups: Alien Breed, Runner 2, Soldner-X 2, Another World, Stardrone Extreme
All on Vita, only slightly over $10. Not bad.

Also about Borderlands 2... I own the PS Plus 'base version' without any DLC on the PS3. The DLCs are like 9,99 which is pretty expensive.
If I get Bordelands 2 Vita version, will I get all the DLC unlocked on the PS3 version too? Might be cheaper than buying all DLC.
I really wanted to complete everything on PS3, but the PS3 DLC price is costing the same if not more than this discounted PS4 version!

i think flashback was cheaper in a flash sale before , i seem to have grabbed it then sigh i wish that game would have gotten a patch that allowed the classic version to be played in full screen.

There's no crossbuy between any of the Borderlands games. Only cross save and the trophies on the PS3 and vita versions are shared. Ps4 is separate. So buying the Vita version won't get you the dlc in the other versions.
The PS4 version has Borderlands 2 and the PreSquel abd all of the dlc for both. It's a great deal.

I've heard good and bad things about the combat in resonance of fate and I'm not sure about it. I'm down for either that or Teslagrad but I'm not sure if I'll be able to click with the combat in RoF
It boots into a screen where you choose one or the other, and from there the trophy list of the one you picked is added to your profile. I haven't gotten to Pre-Sequel yet so haven't gone to it yet, and only have Borderlands 2 on my trophy list!
Well that makes it interesting again!
Now do I want to spend $30 on The Pre-sequel....
I just read it has a bloody 4 player co-op trophy... who thinks this shit is a good idea!
EDIT - With The Order, Batman Arkham Knight, and multiple other backlog games I'm thinking I should probably wait for a better deal.
Definitely. Only thing missing are the advanced PhysX effects exclusive in the PC versions. You get an insane package for $30, especially if you haven't played either game.

Sold. Thanks gaf. I gotta wait 3 hours to play it.
For the price I would say wait. The Order, Batman and other games will keep you busy, by fall it'll be dropping lower I imagine!
Is BL hard at all to play? Or is it kinda like Diablo where it's easy and all about loot collecting?

Finally picking up Jamestown+ after all this time.
Frozen Synapse Prime, for PS Vita and PS3, was $4.80 on the May 15 flash sale.

Worth stating -- if you own a vita, get TxK at that price. It's amazing.
FS is a fantastic tactical game. You plot out your squads moves and watch them unfold in real time. Really solid game, pretty much created the genre that now has others like Breach & Clear and Door Kickers.
Definitely worth it if you like tactics.

It's not cross buy thought, although I have the PS3 version due to Plus, I can buy the vita one right now. Or was there a separate bundle?
Wow... Some of you guys are really weird about trophies
I like using trophies to motivate me to actually finish games.
So having unfinished games that I never intend to play on there would bug me.
Weird for some I guess, but it's what I enjoy.

Thanks! After checking out some vids I'll probably end up picking it up. Wish they would throw Gradius V on as a PS2 Classic.

OP really oughta update with prices if they're going to claim the thread.
What do you do if you think a game is going to be awesome but sucks? I don't worry about that, just plat the ones I like (or am so far invested in, nothing else makes sense).

How's Revengence compared to Vanquish? Vanquish never clicked with me.
I generally try to work out if I'm going to like a game in advance before I commit to it.
Even if my first impressions of a game are rough I do my best to stick it out and play it through. There have been games I didn't enjoy at first that I ended up really liking as a result! The Evil Within is a good example.
There are some I've ditched. Like Killzone Shadowfall, I didn't enjoy the multiplayer so I gave up trying to 100% that. And Disgaea 3 burnt me out with the number of mechanics it had, so while I finished the first playthrough I gave up the end game grind.
