Huge Mid-Year Deals Sale Starts Today on NA, EU PlayStation Store

I have a 230 game backlog and it's because of things like this.

I got a physical copy of Dishonoured 2 for £5 brand new, years ago. I wonder what went wrong to devalue the game so badly.

Zero Escape The Nonary Games is £15 if for some reason you haven't played those. Two games with great stories and puzzles. Cannot recommend enough.

@elvisfan1 I feel ya...
First world problems, but problems nonetheless.

I took a look and, thankfully, nothing for me Still got TLoU2 and Modern Warfare to finish so I'm good.

With this along with the Steam summer sale that's expected to pop up tomorrow, my wallet is going to suffer.

@Matroska I wonder too... it's somewhat insulting. Maybe they just want a lot more people to have it and be aware of Arkane's excellence. For example, I only got to know Dishonored from Xbox 360's free monthly games.

Well, maybe I'll finally get Fallout4/Skyrim bundle for my PS4pro.
Played hundreds of hours on pc previously.

I looked. Got diasapointed (many games previously had deeper discounts or were uninspiring/ i already owned them) then ordered the art book for horizon zero dawn that i'd been eyeing up for a while instead

Man, these PS store sales are becoming an addiction! Love it though!

Mmmm tempted by Terminator Resistance but wary......any good anyone ?

Elite Dangerous for £8 is a steal. Especially with its huge expansion coming soon.

@Arugula I've been on the fence about that game too. How heavily stealth focused is it? I'm not a huge fan of stealth but love Terminator.

Don't get me wrong though, I understand that in reality a battle against Terminators would include a LOT of stealth! Just not really my thing in games.

£3.99 for Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood is an absolute bargain. Highly recommended to all.

Two-point Hospital not too bad a price, Ghostbusters remaster & Trine 4 are at prices I wish I'd bought 'em at! But there's a number of indies I've had wishlisted/jotted down that have either not had a sale in ages eg: Cursed Castilla,Super Hydorah, or never had a sale I'm aware of...Timespinner,Chasm,Blazing Chrome,Castle Crashers Remastered,Battle Princess Madelyn,Fight'N'Rage. Fair number of those released 2019 or earlier & have all had sales on Switch,Steam,etc. Some smaller indies have said Sony heavily curates its sales & its difficult to apply for discounts, though some still seem to manage it,even if randomly...frustrating to constantly be on the outer when you own a console on the largest platform repeatedly miss out though. :-/

@Arugula ooh ok sold. Thanks !

Anything a bit lighthearted? After TLOU2, I need a bit of levity.
(Although I really wanted to play it again as soon as it ended, I think it will be a different experience with full knowledge of the storyline, but I'm gonna wait a week or so.)

I got Seasons after Fall and Get Even... Smaller titles I have had my eyes on for a while 🙂

@grahamd I wrote some thoughts on the game recently after picking it up in a sale earlier this year;

tl;dr It's a fun improvement on Tropico 5 but with plenty of the same flaws.

Jurassic World Evolution is good fun for a chilled out strategy/simulation game.

Surviving Mars is also in the sale and enjoyable but brutal as one mistake can utterly ruin your play through. The "mysteries" are a neat feature that make each play different and the Green Planet DLC, which allows you to terraform Mars, makes the game even more fun and gives it more of an end point.

@Adol_Xin Both games are on psnow?

No Double Dragon and Kunio-Kun collection. Nothing for me then.

Hey! No Vita sales AGAIN? Boooo!!!!

Mega Man Zero collection is 25% off. I think that's the first time that's been on sale.

Onrush is not underrated. Just saying. 😂

Nothing from this particular sale, but I did pick up both Castlevania collections at $5 a pop.

@Rash tbh that would have been one for the "Remasters and Retro" deals (wasn't in there either tho' a couple of the individual games were).

@topic, hmm, Shin Sakura Taisen deluxe edition slightly discounted (i.e. 50p less than the regular edition), that's a possible. Also tempted by the DMC bundle in the "retro" sale (don't think the Steam version ever goes on sale).

@Starkei man up son.

@Thrillho hey thanks for mentioning those 4 games, I have an eye on all 4 of them (but I don't have a lot of time to game). Which of them did you enjoy the most? I read your great T6 review, I have T5 and really liked it, but I may want to try something else if T6 is more of the same. Cheers!

@Bioth Jurassic World costs so little I’d say it’s definitely worth a go, especially if you’ve played Tropico 5 (that has started to come up in sales regularly too now).

There’s only a handful of levels in JW so you spend lots of time on the parks before jumping to another level. They each have their own quirks to mix it up. The tasks you get during levels are mostly interesting to do as well, and I liked the aspect of taking time to design a cool enclosure with monorails, viewing platforms etc.

My biggest gripe was that the layout of levels could limit what you could do quite a bit but it’s not a huge frustration.

And just to say, Surviving Mars is good but tough. I’ve only had successful runs when starting in a resource rich area and having the setting that gives double factory output for the same resource input. If you like hardcore sims than give it a go but it’s another one that comes up in sales regularly now.

@Thrillho Thanks!

@East76landS Yes, boss.

@Starkei No problem, there's too many pussies around today as it is.

@dancingstar93 It's in the mid year US sales now, just hasn't been on sale here yet.
