When I saw that TLoU2 was added to PS Now I thought maybe it would be a better financial move to just join Now for 3 months for roughly the same price as buying the game and then I’d have the chance to play other games. I’ve not seriously considered joining Now before. I looked over the list of all games on Now and honestly there’s just nothing I’m seeing that I really want to play that I don’t already own or have access to through PS+. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of really good PS3 games on the service, but I’ve mostly played all of those. So I think I’ll just stick with the old fashioned way of buying games. 😄 I don’t know.

@Th3solution Welcome to the world of game services! The way you felt right now is the same feeling I had when I started using Game Pass. There were a couple of games I was already interested in playing so I might as well just pay for a month of GP and play all of them to save myself money. As a bonus, there are dozens of other games I can check out to see if they're any good. The best thing about this approach is that you get to discover so many games that you would've never considered playing before. Granted, I'm not that familiar with PS Now's library of games but I'm sure it will expand even more in the future. That's why I tend to not buy that many games these days because there's a high probability they will be added to a service in the future. At that point, it's much cheaper to just buy a month for a low price, play all the games you're interested in and then wait until more games that you're interested in are added and then buy another month. This is pretty much my approach to gaming nowadays: buy physical games that I'm really interested in and every now and then buy a month of Game Pass (or in your case, PS Now) and play everything I'm interested in and then go through my backlog while I wait for more titles to be added to the service. It's honestly the best of both worlds if you play a lot of games. If you only play one game at a time then maybe it'd be better to just buy that game and take your time with it. For now, maybe it'd be for the best to just wait for more games to be added and see if you change your mind.
@Th3solution The best thing about Now is being able to try random crap you wouldn’t ever buy outright. Me and my brother play Don Bradman Cricket 14 through streaming as a party game because neither of us really understand the controls or cricket which makes it rather chaotic. And my mum spent over an hour playing Farming Simulator before realising that there were about 12 tutorials still left. It just eliminates a lot of the ‘what if’ when it comes to buying games and I’ve bought other entries in series outright because I enjoyed what I played on Now.
@Th3solution Further to what @nessisonett says, I also find it useful try out games I would never usually bother with. And there have been a few games which I had almost bought before they came to the service, only to play them and find out I didn’t like them. It has also curbed me buying games all the time in sales, as I usually just see what is in my libraries instead. Think i paid 35 quid for a year last time I renewed, for that price it is a no brainer for me.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Not really.
I already knew My Universe games by Microids are mediocre games, when i saw who was the developer of My Universe games especially the games that made by Magic Pockets (Jake Power games on NDS, Imagine series on NDS, My Universe School Teacher)
But at least the games offered something different since the games are about common things in public such as playing as teacher or be a designer despite the games are lack of proper presentation (mediocre design looking, mediocre body gesture, mediocre music, mediocre activities)
Why do i like to play those mediocre games ?
Because it's better for me to play unpopular and non hyper violent games + being different than being too edgy like hardcore gamers with all the adult stuffs in their brain. I don't want to be a human like that.
@Anti-Matter There’s some sort of strangely interesting life message there. Like being a monk and warding off buxom babes in order to read some boring ass Bible passages. Stick to your morals while having probably less fun. That’s basically life.

The reason i rated my Top 3 PS4 games above 90 score because i can make a beautiful 3D world.
I can shape beautiful 3D world with Minecraft style for Portal Knights and Dragon Quest Builders 2 with some specific blocks + fancy stuffs + natural stuffs, while for The Sims 4 it was classic Barbie playhouse simulator like The Sims 1 which i can design my own house with specific furnitures and i really like the inclusion of six pack slider for The Sims 4 so i can create a lot of handsome muscular dudes. Those games were like exceeding my expectations, i could experimenting with new design anytime. And thus i gave them score between 90 - 100.
About Portal Knights, after i bought the DLC (new planet, new jobs, new character design as furfolks, new stuffs) the game was even more interesting as i can pet or take cute animals from a lot of variety as my companion (which i can make a little zoo from idea with those cute animals) or i can ride on them. Also, i can create another character as furfolks and assign them with new job (but i still prefer old job as ranger as i prefer bow and arrow as weapon).
The world size area in Portal Knights was limited by 128 x 128 blocks for small world or 256 x 256 blocks for large world (i have measured the world area size by put a lot of blocks until the edge of world corner) but with those size, it was quite easy for me to shape my own world as shaping one world with all stuffs will take ton of hours.
The world of Portal Knights are varied from beautiful grassy area to black forest type to autumn forest type to spooky forest type, even the space style with surface like on the moon and some space plants.
For character design, they look cute with Chibi style and their gibberish sounds like My Sims.
Portal Knights was very medieval looking so it lack of very modern looking furnitures but the stuffs still look great.
I still have to learn a lot of sculpting the world in Portal Knights as it was looks easy to think about but in reality it was pretty overwhelming if you start to design your world with no plan at all. It always have some plans to put this stuff over here, other stuffs over there, thinking about the blocks to be used, thinking about altitude and height, etc.
I played Portal Knights PS4 alone as i didn't subscribe for PS NOW $60 so i always play with single screen on my TV.
Portal Knights is such a great game but still lack of advanced tools like on Dragon Quest Builders 2 so it can shape the world quickly but the fact of world size limit by 128 x128 blocks or 256 x 256 blocks are the advantages to shape the world easier than the gigantic size of world in Dragon Quest Builders 2.(It was really great to have gigantic world size but it was also very overwhelming to shape all considering of the world size). But overall Portal Knights is one recommended game to play if you tired with all blocky stuffs from Minecraft.
@lolwhatno
Well...
Last time i rarely played my Portal Knights due to not purchased the DLC yet for more interesting contents.
Now i have purchased the DLC (cost $ 9.99 for new job and new character model + another $ 9.99 for new world and new stuffs) and i will return to play Portal Knights again.
Also, in Portal Knights your gameplay accumulation will be recorded from one character you used. Everytime you have accumulated 24 hours gameplay, it will be displayed as 1d (1 day) in Portal Knights so i have accumulated 3d and some hours and that means i have accumulated for 3 x 24 hours = 72 hours + several hours displayed. Your gameplay accumulation will be displayed in this format: x days + x hours + x minutes.
But pardon me, right now i still have Ni no Kuni PS3 to be played while brainstorming about some ideas to sculpt my worlds in Portal Knights. 😅
