It's been on sale numerous times in the past, at least for NA

 

Never seen those one on PSstore Canada

 

The deals were always on the standard game that drops usually to 19,99$CAN and the Deluxe Edition to 29,99$ CAN 

And when those deals are going on, the Season Pass stays 39,99$ , witch is ridiculous.

 

I'll definitely keep an eye on it now .

 

Btw: cool USA site to track the price drops ! I wonder if there is a Canadian version? 

[Undead Wolf]

The only game I'm even remotely interested in is Mafia 3, but that's a mediocre game at best, and it also has a bunch of paid DLC you need for the 100%..... Yeah, I think I'll pass. Very bad lineup in my opinion - one of the worst in recent memory.

There is a region chooser in the upper right corner of the site.

Are Mafia III trophies still glitchy as of latest update (patch 1.07)? If they aren't, I'll consider the plat.

Yeah you can select Canada , I'm in Canada and use that site, the default is just the US site. The site offers notifications if you signup for it as well so you can have an e-mail sent when something on psn store goes on sale

going to get "here they lie". Though Mafia 3 gameplay footage I saw left me with a bad taste in my mouth (plus the glitches). Though Bound by flame seems okay though should I go for it?

Knowledge is Power may be the secret best offering on the list. Mafia III is a hot mess from what I've seen on release and beyond, but will definitely expand its audience via Plus. Draw Slasher may be one of the most amazing picks I've seen PS team make; you don't really want to touch PS3 port of Serious Sam, it's by far the worst version of an already middling part of the series.

[Katt]

I wanted to play Mafia III, so I'll just shut up.

Weak games for Vita tho. Draw Slasher has been on sale several times for almost nothing (PS+: $0.29)

[K_Groove_NL]

Hmm, still no reason to renew my PLUS sub. Maybe the line up will be better next month (I hope)

 

Till then, Project DIVA X's grindfest & DJMAX's missions will keep me busy for while

[Intoner_Zero]

Probably going to get Bound By Flame and Here They Lie. Still have Mafia 3 in its plastic, lel.

[Dantes_994]

Honest to god I almost bought Dead by Daylight a few weeks back

Same!! Bought it for 10$ last year around Black friday from Gamestop new. Lol

Dead by Daylight is a damn good game. Toxic community, but good game. You will have to invest a lot of time into it to get the platinum trophy, though.

[Zolkovo]

For those of you in the UK who may be considering the Mafia 3 DLC, you can get the deluxe edition (all DLC included) as a physical copy brand new and sealed for £11.99 on ebay. Season pass is £24.99 on PSN. Works out a lot cheaper. I've also seen it at GAME and ShopTo for £9.99 in the past.

Mafia 3 isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

 

The biggest gripe with the game is the sheer repetitiveness of it. You have to make two playthroughs, one where you spare your underbosses and one where you kill everyone but one.

 

The issue is, you have to collect these chips and wiretap junction boxes. You're going to be doing this for hours since if you don't wiretap, Lincoln Clay automatically kills the boss you're trying to hire. If you don't backup your saves then you may fuck yourself and require another playthrough.

 

In the DLC the mine trophy is known to glitch, but I had problems with another trophy which forced me to play Mafia 3 offline and delete some of my save files.

 

If you people enjoy open world games then I will suggest giving Mafia 3 a try. Just be prepared to do a lot of repetitive crap due to the nature of the trophies. I loved the setting, the characters and the 1960s soundtrack.

 

Mafia 3 is a 6 or 7 out of 10. It's nothing great. Though I would of preferred Watch Dogs or Watch Dogs 2 to make onto Playstation Plus.

Nice to see another relatively big title in the lineup. It's just too bad that it's one that I've already played.

[Super-Fly Spider-Guy]

Decent enough list this month, for a change.

 

Mafia 3, decent. Nearly bought it a hundred times, been 15 for months new so make of that what you will.

Serious Sam, never played that one but love the series so I'm down.

Knowledge is Power, could be fun, I like trivia games. 9 bucks physical anywhere here though, so make of that.

Draw Slasher, kinda fun, but been on sale for under a buck countless times.

 

No idea about the rest, but I'm happy with those so far.

The thing is, why Space Hulk? Isn’t that like a dead game? Can anyone elaborate on Space Hulk?

How much content does the base game have? There's a TON of DLC, and I'm guessing none of those will be included in the PlayStation Plus download. Is the DLC worth it? I'm a huge horror fan, but not really a multiplayer gamer. This seems fun though.

 

The base game, the Special Edition, has 6 killers and 7 survivors. And nope, only the base game is offered for free to PS+ members.

 

Speaking of DLC, it’s worth it. I personally like playing Michael Myers, Leatherface, the Huntress and the Clown. Ironically, the Huntress has probably the most frustrating of the grindiest trophies  ( Skilled Huntress) in the game, and Michael Myers has the most challenging one ( Evil Incarnate) yet the most satisfying trophy I’ve got after the Platinum. I can’t really name specific survivors since they all play the same way but their unique perks differentiate them from others.

 

If you like the game enough, I recommend of buying them all, so you’ll be able to progress on all DLCs while going after the Platinum. I tell you, by going after all DLCs and the Platinum, they’ll distract you from the grinding 500 sacrifices and the level cap Prestige III Level 50 for a character. I’ve gotten the 500 sacrifices on the latest DLC. Just keep those in mind:

• Of all the DLCs, The Lullaby for the Dark and the Curtain Call chapters are the free DLCs. The Lullaby for the Dark is displayed as “DLC” and it’ll unlock the Huntress and David King as soon owned. The Clown and Kate Dawson are integrated in the latest major update and you can either unlock them over time with 9000 Iridescent Shards each, or simply pay them as DLC pack or with the paid Auric Cells currency.
• All DLC trophies can be done with all survivors and killers, the expection of the trophies linked to specific characters. BUT as far as I know, you must own the DLCs in order to progress and unlock their trophies, same for The Lullaby for the Dark but it’s free and you need to ‘install’ it. The only DLC that you don’t need to own for unlocking trophies is recently the Curtain Call one, of course you get to unlock the Clown and Kate for their respective trophies.

I hope I cleared information for you!

Looking forward to playing Mafia III once I finish up on that last Mafia II DLC that I started ages ago.

 

Will add Dead By Daylight to my library but that's one for the backlog.

 

Definitely want to play Draw Slasher.

 

Will add all the other games to my download list as well.
