Playstation Network PLAY Almost Gets It Right

Getting a free game is always nice, but at the cost of $60 for four games needed to get that free game, it isn't entirely worth it. Playstation Network PLAY offers gamers the chance to get PAYDAY: The Heist for free upon the purchase of 4 other games, but a better offer could've been made.

PLAY gives you a discount for preordering and there is nothing wrong with that. The third DeathSpank game, The Bacoming is on that list so I am more than happy.

banjadude5396d ago

Yeah, I immediately got Deathspank too. Too bad they didn't add Journey (considering that is a hotly anticipated PSN title)!

SwampCroc5397d ago (Edited 5397d ago )

I believe it was discounted if you're PS+ from $14.99 to $11.99..

so yeah that is some sort of break..

However the author of this article does have a valid point... It's a cool idea and peaks my interest but it is rather pricey...

He mentioned an alternative way of possibly adding a discount of PayDay: The Heist with each game and if you purchase all 4 than you get it for free.

the numbers are perfect....

4 Games = 1 Free..

or 14.99/(25% off PayDay: The Heist) for each individual game.

so I would say just add a 25% discount to each individual offered game...

and let the people choose which ones they want...

in the end some people might still download all 4 games and get PayDay: The Heist for free..

but let's say they only buy 1 game... and they get 25% off PayDay: The Heist.... Sony will still be selling the game instead of giving it away for "free"...

so essentially there are ways Sony could tighten up this package and make it more appealing..

and everyone can come out of the situation with what they want.

It is a cool idea. Sadly the only game i really want is Third Strike, i will be getting PayDay when it hits the store though

SwampCroc5397d ago

yeah PayDay is an immediate buy for me

hazelamy5396d ago

the bit that seems stupid to me is that you have to pay for these games weeks before you'll actually get them.
and up to nearly two months in one case.

there is zero need to preorder downloadable games, what are we supposed to buy early to make sure they don't sell out?

if you paid for the games, and then got them there and then it wouldn't be so bad, but as it is, it's just ridiculous.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5824d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905824d ago (Edited 5824d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5824d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5824d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495824d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5824d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5824d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
