I cant find that deal ?

The Console with the Assassins Creed and Watch dogs bundle are priced at over 400 Euro, but click into them, go to special offers and hit the check mark for Uncharted and the whole thing is then reduced to the prices I mentioned!


Looking at it though there does not seem to be stock of the uncharted game at the moment... anyone have experience of dealing with Argos for these kinds of things? Would they be willing to sub in a different game maybe?

Having just been to two different Argoses (Argosi?) in Dublin city centre I can confirm that you cannot sub in a different game to replace uncharted. (Just thought I'd chance my arm). One store confirmed it will be a while before they get more stock.

Thats really weird and/or annoying. You can't reserve it at that price because theres no Uncharted in stock
And if you try at a store that does have the 2 it stays at the higher price....actually no it doesnt. Im just being dumb

Great job. I just reserved one of the 500gb ones in Clonmel. I have a seagate 1tb 7200 drive to put in .

Thanks for posting it up.

500gb PS4 with Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Watchdogs, and the Uncharted Collection for EUR 349.99 in Argos.

1TB version of that deal is EUR 379.99

Can't seem to view on Argos webpage! Must be heavy traffic for such a good deal!

While I'd consider myself a gamer, I don't know if I have the necassary skill and patience to play this for long. Is it really as hard as is reported?

I gave up on Bloodborne very early, which is essentially the same series as Dark Souls, having never played any of them before. I don't want to put you off getting it, but these games really aren't for everyone. At least for €20, if you don't like it you can still get a fairly good price for it in CEX.

Bloodborne is a walk in the park compared to the Souls trio.

Is that the regular version or Scholar of the First Sin? If it isn't SotFS I'd give it a pass tbh, it won't run as well or look as nice and you won't get all the DLC as standard.

Same series but the combat is pretty different, Bloodborne expects players to be a lot more aggressive and agile in their play by comparison to traditional Souls.

Exactly the reason I tried Bloodborne first. Knew I'd be wasting my money on Dark Souls, at least I had a fighting chance with Bloodborne. Love the style and setting of Bloodborne, just not the gameplay and difficulty. I'm not a huge fan of games that are hard just for the sake of it, because less patient gamers like myself don't have a chance to finish and enjoy them, since there aren't lower difficulty levels (which is fine btw, it's a decent selling point for the serious gamers).

There's no non-SofS edition for PS4 so no need to worry there!

As for whether one should take the gamble? Be aware that DS2 is fairly generally regarded as the weakest in the Souls series. 'Weakest' in this sense still means a regularly brilliant game that is rarely less than totally compulsive, and only really suffers in comparison to its predecessors and successor. I'd definitely recommend Dark Souls or Bloodborne over it, though.

The series is challenging, and takes patience, but in another way its difficulty can be somewhat overstated. Yes, you'll die a lot, but IMO most players are unlikely to come up across the sort of barriers you find in, say, a really fiendish 2D shooter where there all but the best players will find themselves plateauing. The Souls games are surmountable - it will take you time and require commitment, but you'll get there. The elaborate systems are in many ways designed to help, not hinder you, and almost every challenge has a clear, consistent rule set (there's a few cheap tricks in all the games, but not that many :pac:). Yes, some people will find it is simply not for them, but there's countless reasons why the games are held in such high esteem, and the challenge is but one - there's so much more to take from a Souls game than that.

little of topic but price related. I was about to enter the PS4 realm and buy the console finally, when I walked into gamestop and saw MGS5 for €75 new and 60 preowned!!!!!!!!!! then a rcent COD title for €70!!!! Seen some unknown titles for 20-40 range, but any title I heard of was in €60 range!!!

Ignore gamestop. Robbing bastards.

Thanks for advice, just checked out argos and MGS5 is 61 and smyths is 65. I'll probably wait now until after xmas to pick it up to see if I can get a better deal.

ZeitgeistGlee

I actually found DaS2 the easiest of the three that I've played, then again I didn't learn how to use visceral attacks in Bloodborne until I fought

The Cainhurst Hunter

and they do make the game a fair bit easier in fairness I suppose.

€52 from Amazon (check "Other Sellers" at the side) if you take super saver delivery and are prepared to wait the few days to get it.

Gamestop expensive? That's a shock. Plenty of cheaper places to buy games if you shop around.

Never buy games from gamestop, I have never once found them to be cheaper on any title.

Argos always best on new releases in my experience

20th anniversary controller €60 in Argos.

http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/3256040/c_1/1|category_root|Video+games|14419738/c_2/3|19780877|PS4|37328275/c_3/4|cat_37328275|PS4+controllers+and+steering+wheel|37328627.htm

I thought the scratch pad was supposed to have the little PS symbols on it ...or was that just the controller with the limited edition console ?


Anyone else know of any deals for controllers around ? .


edit...same price in Smyths.

tkd93

Lots of places are selling a 1tb with uncharted Collection, new assassins creed and watch dogs for 400.

For that PS4 offer, are Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs on disk or download codes?

Assassins Creed is a physical copy and Watch Dogs is a digital download.

CastorTroy

Ok. Was just thinking could buy and trade in to cex. Watch Dogs isn't worth too much anyway but AC is worth about €38 or £32 cash
