Hello there fellow gamers, i want some input as to what game to tackle next in my backlog, including PS Plus titles.
So i have recently completed ICO, and on my list i have Shadow of the Colossus, Batman Arkham Asylum, Spec Ops: The Line, Kingdoms of Amalur and Mafia 2.
Can anyone advise me on what to play next, i also recently completed Ni No Kuni so i'm not in the mood to play another long RPG, any advice would really help.
Thanks
Skip Kingdoms of Amalur, it's long and very repetitive. The lore didn't do anything for me either, but ymmv. Since you've finished Ico recently, you could continue with SOTC. Batman is also great. Spec Ops is nothing special gameplay wise, but it does a few interesting things narratively, so it might be worthwile if you're into that. Haven't played Mafia II yet myself, so i can't comment on it.

No idea. That's all it shows.

fuckin' called it, man
Is there no way to add less than $5 to my wallet?
Nope. $5 is the minimum. Maybe next gen they'll move to a Steam/iTunes/Google Play/Amazon model so items <$5 will also charge the exact amount.

Thank you for posting fellow GAFfers.
I'm in for the two Vita games. I have the Jak & Daxter Trilogy for PS3 & Vita but the framerate on the Vita is not so good. AC3 was one of the rare games I could not get into because it's not interesting at all to me.
Is Stealth Inc not cross-play or something? Would be nice to play it on Vita but guess I will only get 2 out of the 5 games this month.

Man as a new Vita owner and Plus subscriber I already have a backlog. Great service!

Actually I'm very happy about AC3.
Skipped Revelations because I'm burned out of the AC formula, but I was kinda hyped for AC3 before release due to the nature stuff. The backlash was big enough to convince me otherwise, but I was actually about to pick it up now (as it's 20 cheap).
Now I can play it w/o fearing of wasting any money ;D
Oh and always wanted to try the J&D games, though IIRC the HD port is just really the basic level of what you would expect?
Wondering if I should extend my PS+ sub with the 15 months offering even further.
Can buy a 50 PSN code on ebay for like 48,50 to save some more peanuts.
Then it's 3,23 per month.
Will anyway need PS+ for PS4 I guess (although I don't play much mp anymore...), I just don't like extending these services for so long in advance.

Hope US gets AC 3.
Anybody have an opinion of either New Little King's Story or Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz?
I read a few reviews for NLKS and it seems like most of the problems are technical. I can live with shoddy framerate and slowdowns as long as it's still relatively playable and the game itself is enjoyable. Another thing that I'm on the fence about is that EU is getting it via PS+ so it might just be better to wait.
I've never played a Monkey Ball game on the other hand and the complaints about the main portion of the game seem to be "It's more Monkey Ball" which shouldn't really be a problem for me. The Mini-games got a negative reception but I'm fine with those parts sucking.

New Little King's Story is fun to play despite framerate issues. It is a quirky little game. Framerate can be bothersome but I haven't lost a single fight because of it.

Which two of these games do you think we can look forward to?
My guess is Guacamelee and AC:Liberation.

Should I pick up AC3?

I'm excited to try AC3, I have not played an AC game since Brotherhood and after all the negative press last year never bothered with it. However, I am craving one now and feel like its a good time to try, considering I'm paying next to nothing.

I think what you mean is cross-buy. PS3 and PSV versions of Stealth Inc. for free.

I'm thinking of getting Plus for the 1st time and I'm a bit confused about the instant game collection thing.
If I subscribe now do I only get the games that are currently available or will I also get access to having all of the games that have been free to subscribers over the last 12 months or so?

I'm not sure LBP Vita is planned for the IGC. It's currently on a heavy discount, but it could still be I guess.

Higher price = better games = more subscribers = more money = better games.
Or maybe third parties branches in Europe are just smarter about advertising their stuff with PS+.
Most likely Guacamelee and Far Cry 3.
LBP Vita would make sense as a substitute for Uncharted or Gravity Rush.

Publishers can squeeze more money out of NA users than EU that's why
EU market is completely different than NA
Titles still sell here for awhile
EU has a small ass window to get it done, NA is huge in comparison for sales window
Publishers on EU side don't worry their undercutting themselves, because most titles are not selling, so an extra lump sum received is better than nothing
NA side their more cautious cause, shit sells way down the line, no need to undercut till sales are stagnant and then go for the lump sum
SCEA also doesn't try their hardest to get titles for their side, I mean store updates are still irregular, do you really think they have any backing power to go fight for the consumer against the Publisher, at least on SCEE side they do try to fight and sometimes win out due to sales getting wrecked within a month or two
