damn, that was the only thing I was looking to buy too.
Any word on if they'll do a physical version? I know those smaller teams tend to do one after

Nice. $40 would be great.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
I think so, it has slightly different hollowing and is now the roughest of the trilogy with the first game being remastered, but it is definitely dark souls, just the least inspired of the 3. Still fun overall.

Thanks, I need a souls fix until elden ring. It's either this one or ashen. Don't really like the art style of ashen though.

PS+ expires in January, perfect timing for that.
I’m also interested in Sackboy: A Big Adventure if it’s a good discount.

I’m looking out for Sackboy ($30 is my limit for that) and the Ghost Director’s cut add on ($15, $20 at a push). Bought Guardians of the Galaxy on Xbox tonight.

What time is it?
It's the worst Souls game by FROM but still enjoyable and better than the majority of the knockoffs. If you haven't played NIOH/2, give those a go too.

Thanks man, I've played and beat both the nioh games. Love them

Just delete games / use an external USB HDD.

I think DS2 would be considered a better game if the other ones didn't exist, but compared to the other FROM games, it's not great. Bosses are not memorable at all, but there's come good areas to explore.

Ashen is pretty good, but much, much shorter. Also, you're probably not likely to get many people phasing in to help in Ashen now that you're so far outside the launch window. It was a pretty cool feature that other players would randomly take the place of your NPC companions.

Why is Nioh listed under 1st party? Team Ninja isn't owned by Sony. Those games were just published by Sony

1st party = PlayStation games published by Sony
3rd party = PlayStation games not published by Sony

Um, no, a 1st party game is one that is developed by an in house studio. Everything else on the list is a 1st party game, not Nioh 1&2. A game published by a platform holder but developed by an outside studio is generally called a 2nd party game. Koei Tecmo owns Team Ninja. Nioh is a 2nd party franchise.

Nope.
Here's Sony's financial statements. No such thing as a 2nd party game.
"Physical Software is revenue from first party game software for PlayStation® consoles sold on discs to retailers and royalties from third party software sold on
discs."
"Digital Software is revenue from full game downloads of both first and third party titles sold via the PlayStation Store."
And here's Insomniac explaining it years ago (before they were owned by Sony.)
Learn the correct industry terms:
1st party game = PlayStation game published by Sony
1st party game = PlayStation game not published by Sony
Internal developer = developer of 1st party game owned by Sony
External developer = developer of 1st party game not owned by Sony
And Sony doesn't own Kojima Productions or Sumo Digital, either.

Lol they literally also talked about 2nd party games being exactly what I said. "Outside studio" doing games for a 1st party publisher. Also, that's not Insomniac games saying that, it's a PR person running a Twitter account. 2nd party is a term in gaming. Don't care what one Twitter account said. I hate Greg Miller, but he's right that 2nd party means what I said it does.
Game Freak and Nintendo are one of the best examples out there with Pokémon. Bluepoint used to be 2nd party too.
Undead Labs used to be as well.
Twitter isn't a place to do research

Yes it is, I skipped DS2 for a long time because people said it was ”bad”. Its ”feels” different (animations are wierd compared to 1&3) but I still hold it above DS3 in many aspects.
It’s still one hell of a game, in some apects its the best one(powerstancing, bonfire ascetics, etc.). Its a long game as well and it’s harder than 1 and 3 IMO. SotFS Edition has all the DLCs and they are really, really good. Don’t skip it because people say it’s bad. It really isn’t. Its a bit different but I really really like it.

Well...I think they also mean in the event its now owned by them or something.
Stuff like Sly Cooper, Uncharted, Ratchet and many more have been made by "outside studios" before and I doubt Sony doesn't see those as not first party games or something odd like that. Its semantics and for the most part, first party to businesses simply means we own the thing or made by us or published by us etc.

Agreed. Its why I don't listen to people over such hyperbole, everything to them is either the greatest game of all time, or the worst game in history.

Price drops be like: "we're dropping from 'horrendously overpriced' to 'what used to be normal, but still too expensive'"
Maybe it's time I picked up some outdoor hobby instead...

Even a lesser Dark Souls game is still miles above most other triple-A games. You should absolutely check it out.

Discounts are live, lots of 30% off BS, I remember 3-4 years ago BF sales on PSN had 50% off as the standard (there are a handful of these to be fair). Already decided I'll drop $100 on stuff from my Wishlist, looks like it's going to be Guardians, Persona 5 Strikers and maybe Sackboy, still undecided there.
It's a no-brainer if you love Souls. Lots of hot takes when it comes to Dark Souls 2, Miyazaki not directing it often cited as a reason why it's a weaker entry (weakest to many though I've seen numerous people refer to it as their favourite). Even if we go ahead and call it the "weakest" it's still better than 95% of the games that come to market, the DLC areas in particular are fantastic, buy it

1st party sales on black friday are basically what we should be paying for the games on day one, lmao.
some 3rd party deals are tempting though.

Honestly it's starting to make sense to either pre-order physical games (at least in my country there's discounts close to 20€ for ps5 preorders) or wait a year a half to buy 1st part games.
One thing's for sure: thank god i didn't go digital-only PS5 this gen.
