Reddit reviews Dark Souls III - PlayStation 4 Standard Edition

dark souls 3 $19.99 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z9LUFHS/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=32YPD95LCDG71&coliid=I1U20Q9GFRE77U&th=1

I'm not seeing it for any of the games I'm planning to get. Am I missing something?

Dark Souls 3

Horizon: Zero Dawn

Doom

Nier:Automata

Do you think they'll put up an online code option, so that people can dodge the shipping cost? (and preload so they're ready to go ASAP...)
I see there's an online code option for the PC version, but that's for April 12 which obviously we don't care about.

Possible alternative; it says "out of stock" but that may be because the game isn't out yet.

Failing that, there's still the option of just buying PSN credits and using the store from the PS4. (5k Yen
+
3k Yen)
I believe people have been doing this with PSN credits from PlayAsia already.

> If you just Google any game's prices, the PC version is almost always cheaper.

Really?

I can go on an on. This notion that PC games are cheaper than consoles hasn't been true for at least two years now. Not only do new games go on sale for just as cheap, if not cheaper, they are on sale more consistently, and you can also buy used versions for even cheaper.

Yes, Steam sales can be good but they are only a few times a year and those same holidays have many console games dropping just as much.

Here you go

This deal is also available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z9LUFHS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_GHerxb8RHE4WK

You can buy it brand new at most bring and mortar stores for $40. My local store sells it for $37.
You can also buy it used on amazon for $20 or less

Try going to a camp, or do some volunteer work, you'll meet a lot of people doing that and it will shine in your college application. Apply to a job some place that you like, that way you'll be able to earn some cash. If you haven't been to drivers ed, you should apply. Hit the gym again. There's so many things you can do.

If you're not interested in any of that, here

> If you want to connect your Wii Mote to your PlayStation 4, there's simply no way of doing so while on PC you can very easily hook it up through Bluetooth [...] So no, consoles don't have as many controller options as PC

That's a bit of a stretch, but even with that in mind...

> Want Wii-style motion controls? Been around since the PS3.

I should've clarified: you may not get the exact same options for controllers on PlayStation, but you'll pretty much get the same kind of variety. For example, you could only use the Thrustmaster TS-PC Racer on PC, but on PS4, you could use the Thrustmaster T300 or TG, the latter being based on the TS-PC and T300. Even if you don't get the same specific options, you pretty much get the same variety.

> I don't know if you're even aware of this yourself, but you cherrypicked four games to support your argument [...] Just now, there's a Bandai Namco sale and Dark Souls 3 is $30 as opposed to the "inferior" PS4 version which costs $60.

It may cost $60 on PSN (where I assume you're getting the number from), but if I wanted the PS4 version of Dark Souls 3, I could get it for $40... for the Complete Edition, but I could also get the Standard Edition for $20. Both Physical.

I didn't Specifically go out of my way to choose these games, I just went with the first games that came to mind. But if you really don't believe me, let's go to the Steam front page and I'll just compare the first discounted game I see on the front page.

The Division, a game that came out recently going for only $20 for Steam? That's not bad.

In fact, if we look on Amazon for a New PS4 copy, it's $24 for a disc, maybe you were right... For a new copy.

If we look for used copies, We can get the game for as low as $12 for a PS4 disc. Now, even if you're thinking "Oh, well that just means you have to deal with someone's disc, they could've damaged it," here's the thing:

1. I specifically chose "Like New," which products are only specifically listed under if they have no defects, and are only really put here if, at most, the box has been opened.
   
2. The disc is installed to the PS4's hard drive upon the first insertion, after that you just need it so the system can verify that you still own the game. So? The disc doesn't need to be read to play the game, so scratches won't get in the way.
   
3. Games are on Blu Ray discs, which are far stronger than the DVDs they used to be on.
   
   Need I say more?

   > This analogy is fine except you didn't mention anywhere that you don't get to choose your two additional (they're not free, you pay for them) meals every month, so if you're not interested in pizza and in one specific month they have free pizza then you don't get the additional meal that you paid for.
   
   This is true, but let's be fair, you get 2 new choices every month, per system. Even if you only own one system, chances are you'll get enough good options to make up for the $60. EDIT: Forgot to say, even if you don't like the Pizza, the other meal might be a steak dinner that you'd fancy.
   
   But even if you don't want to count the free games, don't forget the part about the part where I said "Exclusive/Extended discounts, especially during the weekly/seasonal sales (though you don’t need PS Plus to get sales, PS Plus members get to enjoy the best sales)."
   
   Now, you may be thinking "wait, weren't you just talking about how Digital games are more expensive?" Well that's the thing, these discounts can be amazing, and occur weekly, which I would say means they "occur very often."
   
   For example, remember when I mentioned DiRT Rally? That game was discounted for PS Plus members. How much? Well, I bought it for $18, which is even cheaper than you can get it on Amazon. Even if you want to mention that it has previously been discounted on steam for a similar amount (which it was), both sales happened for a week, and right now, they're both $60 digitally (but, again, cheaper physical disc).
   
   The discounts and the free games can near-guarantee that the annual fee will balance out, and again, it is not guaranteed to be more expensive to game on console.
   
   _
   
   > The weekly free Steam games are free, the games you get for paying a service are not free
   
   Ignoring the fact that I haven't heard about "weekly free Steam games," keep in mind:
   
   > even if you want to talk about Steam Summer Sales, what about the PSN summer sale, or again, disc sale discounts?
   
   Steam isn't the only one with sales, and PSN also has free games (that you don't need PS Plus for). Again, you don't need PS Plus for sales, PS Plus just gets you more sales.

   > pragmatically those systems are going to break down. Don't think there exists statistics for this, but my own PS2 and PS3 both had to be replaced during their own generations. If they were PCs, I could simply swap out the faulty parts for way cheaper than buying new PCs.
   
   ...Which costs money. I'll say it again:
   
   > You don’t need to replace your entire system to spend a lot of money on hardware.
   
   Just as easily as someone could say they needed to replace their PS2, someone could just as easily need to replace one of the many parts in their PC, which can often cost more than a PlayStation.

If this is used, my bad, but I didn't see it specified so I assumed it meant new

Dark Souls 3 is also on sale
