Playstation Plus

[gschwendt]

I didn't even renew my Plus
For PS3, there is very little benefit for it anymore at this point. For PS4, it's required to play online, thus they don't have to try as hard for the monthly free games.

Yeah, I'm still in the past (PS3) and I'm not playing it enough to still need Plus.

[Hank]

Haven't DL'd a free PSN game in months. It's nothing but boring platformers.
Compared to what XBL has released in the past, Sony should be ashamed of itself.

Helldivers is a great game though. We still play it from time to time.

[bdoughty]

I tried Helldivers and it is just too much for me. Love twin stick shooters but the Stratagems killed it. Out of ammo, Hit L1 plus a combo and wait 30 seconds while enemies are still running at you and forcing me to sprint around like I was on the Benny Hill show. Pass, I am too old for all that.

[Rudy]

I think Helldivers is really meant to be a coop type game. Those strategms are cool later on and are quick to learn. When playing with 2-4 people it makes it fun to revive and do that stuff.

Simply put... PS Plus is a joke. If I didn't need it for online I would cancel immediately. Xbox Gold is $10 more and 100X better in its offerings, especially with backwards compatibility.

[SmoothPancakes]

Amen. PS Plus so far is turning out to be crap. I've downloaded like two games in the last year (Rocket League and Walking Dead season two), other than, not a damn thing that interests me. Sony has had a massive hard-on for indie games, and it's making the service worthless for me other than the fact that I must have it to play online.

If it was like Plus was on PS3, just a bonus side thing, I would have cancelled my subscription a long time ago. Unfortunately they went the same route as Xbox One and made it mandatory for online play. The difference is Xbox Gold actually gives you good games.

[CLW]

LMFAO with you FUCKING RETARDS claiming Gold is a better value over PS+.

2015: PS+ gave out


$1,136.79 in games versus
$858.59 with Games with Gold.


thus far in 2016: PS+ $239.88 versus $169.92

http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PlayStation_Plus_vs._Games_with_Gold_Comparison


it's that kind of stupidity why so few people (probably between 5-10 users now) post here anymore

Hmm, well that is an interesting take. Personally I think both of them suck in regards to "free" games but the Xbox One offers much better online services for the buck. That comes from someone that has actually owned an Xbox One.

* You do know that those figures include the Vita handheld right? In many cases Vita Only games (i.e. Not cross buy) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Instant_Game_Collection_games_%28North_Ame rica%29#PlayStation_Vita) That is generally one more games per month for Sony's total. MS does not have a handheld so not a valid comparison. Maths are hard. ;)

[SmoothPancakes]

:D :D :D

I think we upset the resident Sony Cockk Gobbler Fanboy.

First, as already pointed out by bdoughty, those numbers are sorely skewed because of PS having the Vita, making most months 6 games for Sony vs. 4 games for Xbox.

Second, congrats, PSN, supposedly, wins the "money war". Guess what, I don't give a fuck "how much" I'm given money wise. All I give a fuck about is what games are offered. You can enjoy playing "Stick Your Thumb Up Your Ass 2016 Party Version" and "Another shitty looking indie game that no one has ever heard of version 75" with a $29.99 retail price. I'll enjoy Gears of War 2, Thief, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, etc.

Also, you have to own a PS4, a PS3 and a Vita to truly get all of that $1,136.79 value. I have only a PS4. So my value is more likely WELL less than half of that grand total. And I sure as fuck ain't going out and buying a PS3 and Vita just so I can get a couple more shitty free games, that I already have no interest in playing, a month from PS+. While on the other hand, if you have an Xbox One, hell, you don't even need a 360, all you need is an online account, you get ALL FOUR Games with Gold with ONE SINGLE console required to play, thanks to backwards compatibility.

But you go on swallowing that hot steamy Sony load there buddy. Gobble gobble!

[Rudy]

LOL. I don't care much for indie titles. Some are good, most are useless to me. XBox definitely has offered more Triple A titles and with BC is a lot better in that regard. Would it kill Sony to even release Knack on PS+? It would be nice to see some older AAA titles appear but that is as likely as Trump praising Obama.

Agreed Rudy. Knack and 1-2 of the other day 1 release games would be a nice way to appease the fans. CLW can say what he wants but it's not just two people on this site disappointed by PS Plus. Pretty much any forum you go to re: PS you will find some venom.

[JBHuskers]

Rumor mill says that May will be Watch Dogs and Tetris Ultimate. Already played Watch Dogs but this would be a setup up in quality of games. Still think Sony needs to throw some of their older titles out there. At least they are trying.

MS is taking shots at them in commercials with their new price drop saying they have the top 10 best selling games in the world all on XB1.

Tropico 5... AWESOME!!!!! Been waiting to pick up this game and now it's going to be for free. Nice!

[SmoothPancakes]

Sony FINALLY stepped their game up this month. Downloaded both Table Top Racing and Tropico 5 on Tuesday afternoon. Played TTR a little bit, fun little game as a time waster. Put already probably 12 hours into Tropico 5 solely in Sandbox Mode. Haven't done the other modes yet, but I'll definitely be playing the hell out of it. Always a great game.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, I truly never understood the life or death Sony hard-on he had. It's like his entire life savings and pension are invested in Sony stock or something. I mean, goddamn, Sony fanboys probably distance themselves from him. He takes the whole fanboy shit to overkill levels.

I personally enjoy both companies. I owned a PlayStation, a PS2, now a PS4, I owned an original Xbox and still own a Xbox 360, along with my Xbox One. Both consoles have fun exclusives, they both have their own perks. They both also have their own share of both positives and negatives.

I'm perfectly fine and happy with both consoles. But for him, fuck me, it was getting fucking stupid how personal he seemed to be taking the whole retarded "console wars" bullshit. And honestly, not to be a dick, but I really can't say I've missed his constant Sony blowjobs and blind MS/Xbox bashing since he left.

[jaymo76]

Yeah we need another guys night of that. However, really think you should try Table Top. It's a lot of fun.

[Escobar]

I downloaded Table Top Racers. It reminds me of an old RC Racing game on the Gamecube? Can't really remember the name or the system I played it on (it was 10 or more years ago), but I feel like it plays exactly like that game w/o the powerups.

[gigemaggs99]

Did CLW really leave or is his busy with work?

On a different note, I would like to give a plug for Playstation Vue. We cut the cable last fall, got rid of cable and enjoyed the heck out of college football and NFL. We got most if not all the NFL games via an HD T.V. antenna. We used slingbox with ESPN and the SEC network for the rest of the college football games that weren't on via the antenna.

So fast forward to this spring and I'm wanting to watch some hockey. (by the way we got rid of sling t.v. once college football was over, no contracts, pay by the month, great service). So NHL is on NBC maybe once a weekend, usually on Sunday. The rest of the hockey games are on NBCSN, CNBC, USA, which we couldn't get NBCSN without a cable subscription. To get the cable package that allowed use to get NBCSN we'd have to get the super duper $80+ package.

I bought the $44/month Playstation Vue Elite Slim which has all the sports channels you could ask for AND NBCSN. It also always me to access NBC Live Extra via my tablet or PC. I've been able to watch EVERY NHL hockey play-off game.

I'm not saying PS4 is better than XBOX1, just saying this Playstation Vue is a great alternative to cable. It works on both my PS3 and PS4 so my wife can watch different shows if she's not into that nights hockey game.

We still use the Xbox1 for Hulu+ and netflix so both machines are great, I've just been really impressed with Playstation Vue. The other nice things is once hockey is over there are no cancellation fees.

[JBHuskers]

NFL Network and History are the big things missing for me on Vue, otherwise I'd jump.

[skipwondah33]

Finally downloaded Table Top Racing and Tropico.

TTR reminds me of Micro Machines a little bit. Definitely enjoy it, nearly up to getting a top level car midway through the 3rd Cup.

Haven't started Tropico yet

Yeah I really like TTR. It's a blast. I just wish there was more variety in the number of tracks and vehicles. Maybe it will get some DLC love?

[gigemaggs99]

I've put quite a bit of time into TTR too, it's a great game.

Been playing some BFH, PSU has been able to join us. I sent CLW a message asking if he'd like to join us but he said he doesn't have it. He did say if anyone has the Uncharted 4 he's been playing it a lot and wouldn't mind joining some people on there. (I don't have that game).

I know it existed for the longest for alot of ISP's they just didn't specifically spell it out until they started charging for it.

Mine has a limit before I am charge for additional usage. Have no idea what it is as I never reach it.

Can see why they do it now though with all of the streaming and use of bandwidth these days.

My internet only costs me $40 a month (which is like $30 US lol) and I get 150 GB download. No restriction on uploads and free downloads between 2 am and 8 am. It's $0.50 per GB if I go over. I can pay $50 a month to get 400 GB and I think there may be an unlimited amount after that. For us we've been close to 150 GB a couple times so I may consider jumping up to 400 GB as the kids seem to be watching a lot of videos lately.

[bdoughty]

Even my tiny little cable company does not have caps/throttling and we are just a bunch of small towns. We only have a max 50mbps dl speed but that is more than enough for my needs.

[skipwondah33]

Finally got 2K installed. That was the longest install I've had to date. Download didn't take much time, but the install was forever.

Played a few games. Game is decent, already some things I find annoying but solid game. Soundtrack is very solid

[JBHuskers]

The Spike Lee thing RUINED MyPlayer, and if you look around at reviews on the net, that is the consensus. The cutscenes were PAINFULLY long. Thankfully after your rookie year it goes back to regular MyPlayer, and the addition of doing stuff on off days is really cool.

As for Gone Home, if you like those roam around exploring, looking for clue games like Ether One or Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, you'll like this one. It even has a lesbian love story in it!

[skipwondah33]

I don't really play the MyPlayer type stuff. Only if bored out of my mind.

In the Online games I've played, I see that pumpfake pass, pumpfake pass, pumpfake...get the defender to jump then draw a foul is the go to offensive method. Atleast the spam the steal button seems to be toned down. I didn't buy 2K15 so it may have been then.

[Rudy]

The stealing in NBA 2k16 was very high on default imo. Way higher than Live.

Here’s the full line-up of July’s free games, including titles for PS3 and Vita owners:

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, PS4
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, PS3

Ultratron, PS Vita, PS3, PS4

Rebel Galaxy is okay if you're into space-type games. It's RPG-like where you have to travel to other planets and collect goods to take back to a space station and there are some top down ship battles in space as well.

Tricky Towers looks fun though.

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, PS4
The Deadly Tower of Monsters, PS4

Excited to try both of those games. Both have great reviews and are quite interesting.

[bdoughty]

Bought Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture when it came out. Beautiful game until you are in motion. Since there is absolutely nothing going on in the game, outside of you walking and searching for interactions. This should have been 60fps lock. In many cases it could not hold 30fps. Hopefully they fixed it or it is better than launch. It is also the game that turned me off of walking simulators. Just do not have the patience anymore, I am sure some of you will enjoy it.

[JBHuskers]

I enjoyed Everybody's Gone To The Rapture. I have Letter Quest as well and it's a fun word game.

Pumped BMX looks like Joe Danger and Trials had a baby. Might fun.

Don't Die, Mr. Robot! (PS Vita, cross buy with PS4)

[steelerfan]

Looks good to me. 👍

[CLW]

Until Dawn is OUTSTANDING. IMHO its the best "choice" based game that I have played to date. They absolutely NAILED teen slasher tropes and I really want/need to go back and play through it again to get the Platinum.

[souljahbill]

If you watch Game of Thrones, the Telltale game fits into the tv show lore amazingly well and features voice work from many prominent characters. No brainer if you're into the show.

That's You! (shown at PlayStation's E3 pre-show) is free to PS+ members, normally $20. The phone app is also now available for free.

Damn, I already own Until Dawn. Got it super cheap during the black Friday sales on PSN or something, though haven't actually gotten around to diving into it yet.

I think I am the same way. $10 through Amazon, IIRC.

[steelerfan]

I've played the first 4 or 5 chapters of Until Dawn over the last couple of days. Fantastic game. If you are a horror fan or a fan of Heavy Rain (best game on PS3, IMO) then you will not be disappointed.

Yeah, I forget exactly when I got it, but it was too good of a price to pass up at the time. It's on my list of games to dive into after I get through beating Horizon Zero Dawn.

Super Motherload is a decent indie game and I'm VERY excited for Just Cause 3. Been watching the price on Amazon for some time. Never pulled the trigger.

IIRC, it's the (or some of the) DLC from Black Flag. The name caught me off-guard at first too, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

It was DLC for Black Flag staring Adewalè (Edward's first mate). I liked it as it very close to home. Adewalè was tasked with freeing slaves in Haiti.

Quiet month this month as Infamous was one of my first games I bought when I got my PS4 a couple years back. Though I have been tempted to go back and play Infamous again since it's been at least two years since I last fired it up.

Yeah definitely not one of their best offerings.

Damn, another game I already have. Though my copy of MGS V is a physical disc, so if I were feeling productive, I could sell my physical copy and just use the free PS Plus copy.

I've never played Amnesia and know nothing about it, but apparently it's supposed to be scary as shit or something. I keep seeing it being called the gold standard of horror games and not for the faint of heart, etc, in reviews.

One scary (bad) thing about the game is the trailer that Sony released for it. Still waiting to be scared in a video game, might give this a shot. I think the Clickers from TLOU was the most tense I have been in a game.

I don't get the Knack hate either from the gaming community. Its a solid cartoon platformer with a nice kid friendly pixar movie story.

They also just announced starting March 2019 only PS4 games will be offered.

This is one of their better months in a while. I already have Bloodborne but don't have R&C.

[JBHuskers]

Mighty No. 9, Claire and Bombing Busters all support Sony’s Cross Buy feature on PS4, meaning PS4 owners will get access to five games next month.

[Rudy]

Great month for me! Finally check out Bloodborne. Never played it or Dark Souls. Looked hard and maybe not for me. But free is definitely for me lol

R&C is OUTSTANDING it was beautiful (before the Pro upgrades) - I cannot imagine how good it looks on my OLED Pro setup. With Bloodborne also to the lineup I think that will make me pass on Witcher as my backlog is just too large to justify sinking 100+ hours into a single game (especially if that game isn't right up my wheel house)

[cdj]

January PS+ titles:

Steep (PS4)
Portal Knights (PS4)
Zone of the Enders HD Collection (PS3)
Amplitude (PS3)
Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion (PS Vita & PS4)
Super Mutant Alien Assault (PS Vita)

Given that Steep has a lot of DLC add-ons, making the core game free is a logical move.

[cdj]

In February, PS+ members go from 10 GB storage to 100 GB.


Feb. PS+ game list:
Hitman (The Complete First Season), PS4
For Honor, PS4
Divekick, PS3 (Cross-Buy with PS Vita)
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, PS3
Gunhouse, PS Vita (Cross-Buy with PS4)
Rogue Aces, PS Vita (Cross-Buy with PS4)

[Rudy]

For Honor free is a fantastic offer. Just too bad I’ve never been able to find an online match the last few months. Me and my son tried every once in awhile and the multiplayer matching was horrendous. Sit for 5 minutes and I would just quit.

[JBHuskers]

Hitman is GREAT, I put so many hours into both that game and the sequel that I got for Christmas.

[cdj]

March PS+ titles:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
The Witness

[Rudy]

Pretty good month. The Witness is supposed to be a good puzzle game.

Yep it is, got it on sale a while back. Kinda like the Talos Principle.

PES being swapped out for Detroit: Become Human Digital Deluxe Edition (Detroit: Become Human + Heavy Rain).

Maybe next month for PES? :(

[Rudy]

Detroit is such a good game. One of the best ever for ps4. Everyone should play the first chapter to see if they like it. That 10 minutes will decide it for you.

The other characters start out a bit slower but it really is a great game. One of the best ever on ps4 imo.

[cdj]

There is speculation that August's PS+ titles will be Star Wars Battlefront II and EA SPORTS UFC 3.

[Rudy]

I’d try out UFC. Kids already have SW although they barely played it.

[Escobar]

I bought UFC when it was $15 or $20 so I could play against some friends. It's a cool game for a while.

[cdj]

August PS+ titles:

- WipEout Omega Collection
- Sniper Elite 4

October PS+ titles announced:

MLB The Show 19

[Rudy]

I already have TLOU bit that is a great month. Getting MLB free is a steal even though I’m sick of that game.
