IIRC, it is a four person coop horde mode. Class based I think. It can be standalone or DLC. I bought it a year after release and finding full matches was spotty then. But it was a shit ton of fun when I got a full match. Regular Killzone multiplayer was slightly better, but different.

It's a really bad horde mode dlc only. This is coming from someone who loves horde modes.

Definitely in for Ratchet and Clank.
I've been looking into Malicious Fallen, but I haven't been able to find a completely clear answer. This has all the content from the other games, and hence can be played even if I haven't played the others right?
Also tempted to get Witch and the Hundred Knight. I really like the style. Is the game play at least bearable?

It was the first game I bought on the Vita. Personally it did not capture the essence of Uncharted at all. It was like someone put together a game around a set of Vita features and key Uncharted elements. Killzone Mercenary on the other hand delivered something unique and the best Killzone game since 2.

$40 for Far Cry 4 Gold Edition, Mad Max and Shadow of the Beast is damn good for me.

Are more titles being added?
TLoU Remastered would be cool. Never played it, but don't want to turn on my PS3 ever again.

It is probably my favorite indie game of the last few years. It's definitely worth the sale price.

Gladiator Begins is a PSP gem that still plays great.

thoughts on littlebigplanet3?
still have nostalgia thinking back on the first game , its charm and music. I did not like 2 at all. Felt too gimmicky.

I've tried all the LPB games because I want to like them, but I just can't. There's some creative levels being made, but I something just feels missing.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
It's also all new trophies, though.

I've heard great things so I'd say yes. I'm picking it up as well.
Not on sale but would you guys go with Little Nightmares or What Remains of Edith Finch?

Also NAtURAL DOCtRINE... I remember looking at this one before... any redeeming qualities? It looks like a better Valkyria game than the one that releases todayEdit: looks fun for $5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKJn0-UKkHo But I would prefer vita version...and that is the only version NOT on sale... :/
Many people hate this game. I think it's the best SRPG ever made, and it's my favorite vita game. It's very much a love it or hate it game [and i love it so much i don't mind writing up a new essay on it every time it comes up for sale and someone asks]. If you like tactical mechanics and complex moves, it might be your jam.
First off, it plays nothing like a traditional SRPG, and if you play it like one you'll die quickly and the game will seem unfair because you won't understand why your characters get pummeled into mush when you do standard SRPG mechanics like trying to bait one enemy at a time, etc. You can't overpower the game by creating a super OP warrior, or anything like that, you just need to learn the systems.
The key factor in the game are two techniques called linking and chaining. Effectively, if one of your characters does something near another character with a complementary action, that 2nd char can 'chain' and perform an action too. This means a single 'turn' can look almost like a football play with lots of actions, plus visual modifiers for all sorts of tactical considerations [you gain variable modifiers for flanking, distance, terrain, and all sorts of other things]. It is literally tactical bliss for me. The turns look crazy to a newcomer, but once it clicks it all makes sense.
One thing that many reviewers [and people who only touched it and gave up on it] misunderstand is how to properly chain/link. Even though you have the option to, never [unless absolute emergency] chain a player who still has a turn that round [it uses up their turn]. Instead, plan it out so you're constantly chaining only chars who already moved that round. So A moves. Then B moves, chains A. Then C moves and chains A and B. So, with a team of 5, your last character can cause your 4 other characters to have an extra move [and your first moved char might have performed 5 actions] if planned well. If you do not take advantage of this system, combo-ing in increasingly wild moves each turn throughout a round, you will not survive. Lots of reviewers were clearly chaining chars that hadn't moved yet that round, critically injuring their ability to win [instead of getting bonus action/moves, they were effectively losing actions/moves].
Another reason some reviewers couldn't handle it is that the AI is really solid. You might be fighting 10 lowly goblin grunts, but those grunts -do- know how to chain/link really well. So all of a sudden that character you left undefended [traditional SRPG baiting does not work] will get gang stomped as they get pummeled by a swarm of goblins [that first goblin alone will get chained by all those other nearby goblins, getting a ton of attacks in a single round].
Because the game stomps you for not understanding it completely, it got a lot of dings for being overtly difficult. That's half true -- sure, you need to learn a new combat system, but once you do, the game is very fair. You end up moving much more 'realistically' than other srpgs, keeping a tight formation, playing into your other characters powers and skill countdowns, never over extending.
There's also a really solid MP version of the game, but since it's likely hard to find an opponent nowadays I won't go into depth on it.
TLDR -- if you like hardcore tactical/strategic games with complex systems and turns that look like awesome football plays full of flanking and other considerations, jump on it. If the above doesn't sound like your thing, it isn't.
My thoughts exactly, finally going to pick this one up.

Mad Max it is. I'm a sucker for clearing out camps.
Definitely lots of good stuff in here. Wish I'd held off on a few things prior, because they're cheaper now than when I bought them, but that's the gamble.
The one thing that grinds my gears is that the Driveclub Bikes standalone is on sale, but if you already supported Driveclub and purchased it early, you don't get a discount on the same content as an add-on. Just can't justify buying that stuff for $15 to futz around with it.

In for Resogun for sure! Surprised I still don't have it. Knack is a toss up at this point..
Saw that and was tempted but I'm going to wait for FFXII.

Well, it's a good value for playtime compared to dollars but it's honestly not worth the time with the amount of good stuff already out. I felt that even when I played it more than a year ago too.

It's a very short action game, just a series of boss fights, designed for replaying. The controls are unique and you should expect the game to give you utterly dismal rankings until you get used to them.
It's also Mega Man-ish - you want to beat the bosses in a particular order.

Get tales of berseria instead when it's on sale.
It was on sale several times in fact,maybe 2-3 times last year,you should add it to your wishlist as soon as possible to remind you when it goes on sale.

I was in the mood for a decent hack and slash to play while listening to podcasts, surprised to see diablo 3 is still so expensive! Dat Blizzard Tax I guess
If you can play the PS2 or even the Japanese PS2, do it. Best one is JPN one.
