    You can have UK PS+ but will lose access to your Irish PS+ games after a while.

    Nice one, cd keys 24% off probably worth buying from there to keep all the old stuff

    Press start 28%! Sweet

    Ran into the same press-start issue recently, very bad customer service from them. Had used them many times before hassle free but will be trying to avoid from here on in.

    Playing the witness, I've no idea what I'm at and some of the concepts for the solutions mean nothing to me at all. I don't even know of there's a story I'm just assuming there is one somewhere.

    Still though, I'll dip in and out from time to time.

    I got to a part where you have to touch black dots and white dots and then I hated myself and I quit. People have too much faith in these indie darlings. It's a slight case of Emperor's new clothes.

    I think so, couldn't do it though. Life's too short.

    Its a puzzle game. Don't knock it cos you don't like the genre.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,585 ✭✭✭Jerichoholic


    I don't think I hate it, I just think it's vastly overrated just like Braid was.

    25% off PS+ until March 26th.

    https://store.playstation.com/en-ie/product/IP9102-NPIA90006_01-PSPLUSSUBS12MDIS?smcid=pdc%3Aen-ie%3Apdc-buy-playstation-store%3Abuttonrow-shop-now%3Anull%3A

    Still €2 more than Press Start, though you can get a €50 top up for €44 on Press Start or €45 on CD Keys and use that to get the sub and still have €5 psn credit.

    Sigh, of course it is... At least this bs should go away in a couple of years as the EU are looking to prevent offers like this only applying to new customers.

    Went to renew with that offer today only to find this nonsense. My subscription expires the week after this offer ends so it's a lose-lose situation. Pretty annoyed with it.

    Just seen Smyths are doing 1yr ps plus for 44.99 digital codes. Might be worth checking out for people that are looking for a deal.

    Where do folks buy their dollars?

    Physical greenback? Bank or withdrawl while in airport.

    Does that offer stack?

    You can make multiple purchases and the subscription will stack.

    Thanks for the heads up, amazingly my subscription ran out yesterday.

    Edit: I don't like the way they turn back on automatic renewal after resubscribing.

    Conan Exiles and The Surge are next month's games.
    I have neither, nor any interest in either tbh

    That is an absolutely terrible month.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,792 ✭✭✭coolisin


    Two games that look sh1t, please tell me otherwise!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,742 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    I nearly picked up Conan last week, thankfully I didn't. I'll give it a spin, looks like an alright hack n slash. The Surge I've avoided as it's supposedly futuristic Souls-like, but I'll give it a go. Reviews don't indicate it's as hard/frustrating as the Souls series, so might stick with it.

    Not a great month, but at least I don't have both games again!

    On a side note, is there a proper genre name for the die/repeat games, I hate referencing the Souls series when talking about games of this difficulty.

    Edit: I thought Exiles was a hack n slash, and while it does appear to be similar, it seems to be more a survival game. Interesting...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,502 ✭✭✭Niska


    Have neither, so good for me.

    Enjoyed the Surge demo, but not enough t opurchase it.

    Have considered picking up Conan a few times, but one look at my backlog dissuaded me. SO also good.

    I've seen a few Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice previews / reviews refer to the genre as Soulsbourne, so moving on from Soulslike or Souls clone. Soulsclone?

    But, yeah, we no longer call FPSes Doom clones, so a neutral genre name may be needed. Action RPG+ ?

    RRPG? - Resurrection RPG

    Yeah, Diablo and PoE would agree.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,539 ✭✭✭The Specialist


    2 games I have zero interest in even for free. I wish they’d put a PSVR title in every 2nd month, can’t understand why they don’t.

    Had no intention of ever buying Conan but hey I've paid for plus already and it has nudity (well for us degenerate Europeans at least)
