Incoming Flash PSN Sale for July 18-20? Sci-Fi themed

Judging from the amount of games I have already "purchased" in this sale (got for free through PS Plus), I wouldn't want to get any other games, because these are the prime candidates for being free PS Plus games.

More games come out than can ever be on ps+. Get the games you want; don't worry about whether they might be on ps+ in 6 months or something. You'll miss out on plenty of games you want to play that way. Worst case, it's on ps+.... big deal?
 
Do you guys think someone who LOVED Resogun will like Geo Wars 3? The things that give me pause...I don't like that it is played on smaller objects/surfaces instead of full levels like Resogun, the enemies look far less interesting, and it's not nearly as impressive visually.

Agreed. Besides, your kinda only renting the game if it is free on PS+ since you need a subscription. At least when you buy the game, you "own" a licence of the game and you could still play it if you don't subscribe to PS+.

I just realized the version of Ar No Surge that's on sale is the PS3 version, not the Vita one. Maximum disappointment.

Do you like dual stick shooters? Crimsonland, Super Stardust, etc? If so, Geo Wars 3 is worth checking out. It's a solid game, overall.

Levels in GW3 vary wildly, from 'small' surfaces to various geometric shapes that are fully transferable.

Worth a shot, imo.
 
I'm tempted to get the Borderlands Handsome Collection, but I think I can hold out for $20 or less. I played Borderlands 2 on PC already, but didn't really touch of any of the DLC.

Just the extra mappacks. Not the nostromo addon
Thanks, figures, the only frickin one I actually want. I'd love to buy this digitally, not a fan of discs anymore, but I can't find an option online that's as cheap as the disc with the Nostromo dlc that I can go buy at wal-mart. >.<

I have Borderlands 2 so I was wondering which one I should get. Borderlands GOTY or Pre Sequel. In terms of quality, which is better?
 
Picked up the Handsome Collection, even though I sold all my copies of Borderlands a long time ago. It's such a great co-op shooter! I hope there are still people playing it online...

Is Borderlands 1 worth playing or should I jump right into Borderlands 2 ?

It's 6 CAD. I'm really tempted ... Is it a mainly co-op game or is it still enjoyable in single player ?

borderlands 2 is better in every way and is also a more single player friendly game. There is barely any story in the first one, so you can start on the second easily. Aside from the optional raid boss, the game doesn't suffer from being played alone.

I played them both solo and had a great time. Borderlands 2 is probably the better choice, but 1 is definitely worth playing as well.

Oh there's no story ? So I don't need to play 1 to understand what's going in 2 ?

And btw If I find a friend to play with online, can I play the whole campaign in co-op ?
 
There is story, but you can summarize it in about a minute, which Borderlands 2 does at the beginning of it. Borderlands 2 on the other hand has a ton of dialogue and characters and a great main antagonist. The actual plot is alright too. The humor is divisive though. You might laugh your ass off or cringe your ass off. Hard to say.

And you can play the entire game with friends.

I'll just play the second game then.

Thank you !!

Okay I forgot to ask this, which is more couch co op and single player friendly Borderlands or the Pre Sequel?

It sucks that Hyperdimension is only six bucks yet I only have a Playstation tv and no Vita because for some reason they made all compatible but the first.
 
Man that's twenty quid for the Borderlands collection - if only Pitchford had been behaving himself recently - I could have been tempted into buying yet another game but I'll stay strong.

Also to anyone who doesn't own them - I will kill your dicks if you don't buy Bulletstorm and Resonance of Fate at those incredible prices.

Went back and bought Starwahl, primarily to play with my seven year old niece, but I will probably clock a lot of solo hours, simple but addictive.
 
It's like they wanna tie the Vita to the PS4 but not the PS4 to the Vita.
Yeah, it just sucks having to kind of got back and forth. You would think they would have this stuff figured out 2 years into the ps4's life cycle.

I will definitely probably end up buying a maybe 10$ worth of games here! These are still pretty great deals. Not as amazing ad the dollar deals that we got last year, but still gets me to slap down on some games.

Is the humor in the Pre-sequel a lot like 2? I didn't hate the humor in 2 but it did get obnoxious after 10 or so hours.

If only Ar Nosurge Vita were on there.

Still, lots of great stuff at great prices. Everyone should buy Resonance of Fate and Deus EX HR.
