So I have had 10 bucks sitting in my PS4's wallet for a very, very long time now and I decided I'd spend it. I'm currently thinking of 2 games;

Dark Souls II: Scholar Of The First Sin


Gal*Gunvolt Burst


Other options are welcome too.

I usually have some sort of leanings or opinions on questions like these, but you got me completely unsure. I did hear ds2 was less well received than the other ds games.

Went through all the games from free to 10$ for ps4 on the playstation store.
Didn't find a single interesting one. Nor did I find Dark Souls II there?

I did learn that the store is very slow and finicky though.
And full of shovelware. ,)

I'm touched by your commitment! :)

Something that I failed to mention in my post is that I'm a customer of the EU store, I guess I shouldn't have used the word "bucks", my bad.

For any future viewings of the store, you might find this site useful;
https://psprices.com/

A lot quicker than the actual store and it shows price histories and such.

That's why I'm hesitant of buying Dark Souls 2.

I pretty much completed all SoulsBorne games, but Dark Souls 2 is the only one I quit on half way through.

Pro's for Dark Souls 2;
- The game will probably last me a week or 3

Cons for Dark Souls 2;
- I didn't really enjoy my first time with the game

Pro's for Gal Gunvolt Burst;
- It's a Mega Man esque game that I haven't played yet; ergo something new to play

Cons for Gal Gunvolt Burst;
- I'd probably blast through it in one evening.

I love Mega Man style games a bit more then most people, but I am weary of anything that has Beck in it.

I say Dark Souls, if you care about the opinions of others.
I liked Mighty No.9 quite a bit so Beck and his brothers/sisters being in the game is a plus for me actually :p

But you say Dark Souls eh? *noted*

Went through all games up to 10 euro. Again nothing really interesting sadly.
Though Mahjong and Tetris are always good for some quick & easy fun.

Does it have to be something on the PS4?
Well, the money is already in my PlayStation account's wallet ( left overs from a gifted 20€ gift card ).

I guess that you could suggest PSP or PS3 games as well, although my PS3 broke a long time ago.

Dark Souls II.

Leaning towards this choice now as well, looked up some game play footage of Gal Gunvolt Burst and it really looks like something one'd clear in an hour and a half :eek:

Edit: And then I came across this video...
