For 10,000 credits?

Deal.

Any Sony sactioned ps4 or ps4 bundle under $399 counts. Temporary price cuts count too, but only if they last a significant time and aren't like a one day sale.

I don't think that's the case outside of vita tv.

I have like 5 devices hooked up to my tv that can play netflix. Heck the tv itself can play netflix.

Bloodborne on Amazon around the world:

US: 24, 32 (The Order: 150)
UK: 17, 118 (The Order: 19)
Germany: 11, 29, 64, 135 (The Order: 15 (PS4 bundle), 63)
France: 28, 99 (The Order: 23)
Spain: 12, 15, 189 (The Order: 208, Uncharted 4: 11 for some reason)
Italy: 4, 16 (The Order: 14)
Canada: 12, 21 (The Order: 258)
Japan: 8, 88 (The Order: 261)

What can we gather from this? Bloodborne is starting to gain traction around the world (in part due to Sony setting their advertisement into gear, the BB TV commercial has almost 1.5 million views on Youtube for example), France really needs to get their priorities straight and due to The Orders mediocre reception we might actually see something unlikely (or I would have called it unlikely about a month ago) happen and see BB outsell the Order, which, if we are to believe the apparent general consensus online that PS4 owners have been disappointed time and again by the exclusives and are all starving for a good one to come out, should be the thing that's going to happen anyway. That is of course unless BB completely fails to live up to expectations.

Why do you care about what other PS4 owners appreciate or not?

Why did you proclaim to start boycotting games with certain critic scores?

Because I don't want to support gaming fascism.

Not that that particular point of the stance matters much, as it's what I generally already have done for many years. The only difference is now there won't be occasional exceptions. In 2015 the only one i'm truly skipping is MGS5, as otherwise i'd not be interested in the other "probably acclaimed" titles to begin with. I'll still be playing my favorite games.

"Gaming Fascism"...give me a break.

Let me tell you what's really going on here, you're still throwing a hissy fit about The Orders reception from both critcs and actually a lot of normal players as well because you're the one that cares way too dang much about what other people appreciate or not.
You're just mad that you didn't get to prove "all the haters wrong" with the Order 1886 like you decided you're going to do months ago, when you decided that it was going to be the greatest game ever. For months you've been aggressively and childishly defending the Order and now you're sulking because you don't have the world agreeing with you.

I don't even know what the heck you want from me, so I want Bloodborne to do well, what's it to you? Or do you think that I mean that I want to see the Order fail, cause I don't. I want The Order to do well enough at least to warrant a sequel, so that RAD get to improve on the game, you on the other hand have openly stated before that you want Bloodborne to fail, indicating again that it's you that actually cares about what other PS4 owners appreciate or not.

In summary: Get over yourself.

[Rorono]

Give you a break why? It's an accurate assessment of what reviewers have been doing. It's a fascist conglomerate.

And you're the one talking about what disappoints other people or what they appreciate, for the sake of what, internet wars/arguments? Enjoy a game or don't. For me, I stand to gain personally if Bloodborne doesn't sell well enough as Sony might not waste more money on FROM. It's got nothing to do with what others appreciate or not, but what I appreciate. It could have a 10 meta and user score, as long as it still doesn't sell well enough, it suits me just fine. Because others liking it doesn't change what I like. So if I want Bloodborne to fail and something else to succeed it's because if what I appreciate, not what others think. It's all about me, selfishness and everything.

[DerNebel]

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

You boycotting games because others liked them be they critics or not is beyond retarded, you're not proving a point here, you're just fighting an imaginary system that you created in your head.

I can just tell you one thing: Grow up.

Oh and btw. for someone who says that what others like doesn't influence what he likes you're ridiculously defensive on reddit.

Boycotting what? I already said I don't have to boycott most games because I don't like them to begin with. Bloodborne doesn't look good, so whether others like it or not has no bearing, i'm not getting it either way. The same goes for most highly rated games that usually are not any good.
As for the rest it's not an imaginary system at all, if I want to stop the onslaught of open world and/or online-centric garbage then i'm not gonna half dog it by making exceptions, I'd like to still be playing games a few years from now, not be forced to sit it out because nobody makes good games anymore.

^^ guys can we cut it off please?

If you don't have to boycott them, why did you make that proclamation? You're not stopping shame, you're just doing what everybody else is doing as well, which is buying games they like, but you decided that you are a special snowflake that has to call not buying games he doesn't like a freaking "boycott" and that's actually close minded enough to want all games he doesn't enjoy to go away, because he feels he's the centre of the world.
