I havent played Amnesia but i think soma is damn good
its also more pshychological thriller then horror id say
Alright
It's scifi too, yes? Could be a big positive.

Alright
Yeah its very scifi
Def reccomend it for 5 bucks man The wording in the blog seems to suggest for the next 5-6 weeks there will change around the digital only titles
Hopefully we get another 'weekend' sale, but who knows.
I don't get what you mean by this. Are we going to start seeing a shift in the line up every week for the next 5-6 weeks instead of the usual sales that lasted 2 weeks?
--
Is Alienation similar to Helldivers?
thats what im thinking yes. Otherwise I dont see why they would mention 6 week digital event.

If you are looking for a horror game and don't care for stories, then probably don't get it. If you love Sci-Fi with horror elements and one of the best gaming sci-fi stories in a long, long time (My opinion), then buy this game straight away. Without trying to spoil anything, this game will make you question what makes you you!
Can't recommend it enough

Other than Mirror's Edge Catalyst being Deal of the Week, not clear what else is new if any.

I bought SOMA last week and, after a slow start, I'm really starting to enjoy it. I do have a few questions for those that have played it:
Do the enemy encounters get any more interesting? So far I just seem to get trapped in small spaces with the Robots that seem easy enough to outrun, which appears to be the only option since I can't really hide from them.
Is the story generally considered to be pretty good? I just
left Lamda and found out about Catherine and the Ark.
Yeah its very scifi
I will buy it later today
Yeah it doesn't look like they've added anything else, weird
Urghh.. cant wait till the digital sale ends, finishing 24th August.. lame.
The ps3/vita sale ends next week, so i think there might be a seperate sale then.
From what I can see even worth mentioning besides mirrors edge,
Contrast, Steinsgate are now on sale.

I waited until Firewatch got its first patch and I found the performance to be fine. I think the complaints came from people playing the unpatched version in the first couple of weeks. Really well acted game, just make sure you do not read anything about the story before you go into it.
I enjoyed Everybody's Gone to Rapture, its a beautiful game, music in particular was fantastic. However I will say I do not think it lived up to the hype it was getting around release.
I picked up The Banner Saga and Soma in the sale. So far played BS, great looking game, love the art style, but the combat (3 hours played) is too basic to keep my interest, will continue playing for the story.

Seems about right, these deals usually last two weeks with a reminder in the deal of the week post.
That Mirror's Edge pricing is good though. I'm tempted, but I've still got Doom, Ray Gigant and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth to finish, and Valkyria Chronicles Remastered to play. And I'm pretty sure that the majority of GAF would pick and finish any of those games ahead of Mirror's Edge Catalyst.
Well, I bought it and played up to the first enemy encounter yesterday. That was apparently enough for me to get quite vivid dreams about the monsters :lol I'd say that's a good signYeah its very scifi

Did SOMA's price go up on any other stores? It was NZ$8.35 last week but now it's NZ$12.95.

Yes to both questions! There are some horrifying enemy encounters by the end that are kind of puzzles to outmanoeuvre. The story goes in some really interesting places, and the game has a fantastic ending, which is hard to do satisfyingly with this type of genre.

Bloodborne DLC on sale too?

Nope. The GOTY (game + DLC) is 44,99€ but that's not really a deal when the DLC itself is 19,99€ already
As usual DLC sales on PSN only happen once in a blue moon
This seems fine. Hopefully that list didn't include the deal of the week - I want to blow some of my wallet funds.

Worth noting: These deals all run for 4 weeks, which is unusual. Maybe the store team is going on a summer break
Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition is on sale for 42% discount, 314,10 sek in Sweden. That includes the game and all DLC.
I have only the vanilla edition on disc. If I get the DLC The Following, will I get the visual upgrades gameplay enhancements and tweaks for the main game as well?

They're not going to ever put the portable version of Persona 3 on sale, are they?

I still don't have Bloodborne. I don't know if I should wait until the GOTY edition goes on sale someday.

Also, how well is GTAV still selling that they're considering 45 euro to be a sale? I mean, holy hell.

That's a great price for Severed @ 9,99 or £8. It's a really great genre mash-up (first person Metroid-esque) with fantastic art and a really easy Platinum if that kind of things interests you.
Bloodborne GotY has been on sale on PSN at least twice for £25, so I would suggest holding out if you can.
You will get the visual enhancements if you download the most up-to-date patch. No need to buy The Following. Also, as someone who really didn't like the DLC, I would recommend you wait for a sale on it.

Rockstar games almost never go on sale. GTA is a big enough title where plenty of people keep throwing 60 at it, even newer players.
Definitely this. It may sound very tempting at this price but the GOTY edition has dropped in price twice in the last 3-4 months.

Amazing price, but unsurprisingly no stores near me at all have it in stock.
I guess this is their Summer Sale. In previous years they also added a batch of new games to this sale after a week or two.Worth noting: These deals all run for 4 weeks, which is unusual. Maybe the store team is going on a summer break

£17 and at my local here in Essex, I'm happy to pick up and post if you wanted it.
I noticed that myself lol

Thank you kindly for the offer, but I already have a digital copy (bought for £25 back in February, I think), so I don't really need another.
Whereabouts in Essex are you? My in-laws live near Southend. I'm down in Kent but we're at their place every month or so.
