Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for July 2019?

I've got both games.

I may give Horizon Chase Turbo a try, but most likely I'll jump into my backlog this month.

July???
I haven't been happy with the selection for the past 4 months...
All those games I either own or have no interest in...

Poor car game...I feel like people are saying it's crap just because it's alongside PES.

Got FIFA, not interested in PES.

Watched a video of Horizon... my word, what utter garbage. Doesn't even look as good as the retro games it supposedly pays homage to.

@AdamNovice It's clearly an incredibly popular topic. Not sure what else we should be doing.

I love footy and PES is arguably the best footy game. It's all good.

Also, it's coming home. Come on the Lionesses.

@AdamNovice telling people they will hate them in the box before even opening the article as well this site is going OTT with it.

@ShogunRok Yeah, I think that increased coverage of a subject that people feel passionately about (within reason of course) can be good for bringing attention to issues that need to be changed. I’m sure Sony and other companies watch for trends in the media and hopefully react accordingly. I know that Sony has their blog and people are lighting it up, but every little bit helps. I like also how you tried the approach through the other poll/article of proposing possible solutions to the perception of decreasing value of PS Plus.

Ive actually played more ps plus games released in 2019 than i have in any year i care to remember...and i have every ps plus game released so far. Not saying that i think its been a stellar year (particularly since vita was dropped) but most of the best titles from previous years i already owned by virtue of them being stronger titles that i was more likely to pick up at launch

No, I don't like both games.

May check out HCT but I've played enough of pes 2019 already. Plus there's a lite version released every year for free. Includes myclub and online games I believe 🤔 so yeah, not worth it. If they'd released it closer to the original release date (as part of plus) then it'd be worth it.

Yes! Very excited to try both!

@Neolit I agree with you playa.i don't have no Soccer game.so I'm happy I will get this game.plus my backlog is really long.i just bout 3 ps4 games.and I got 20 ps4 games I still didn't play.i still didn't beat borderlands handsome collection yet.so it's all gravy.word up son

I'll add both to my library and i will download Horizon Chase Turbo been forgetting to buy that game. Also offtopic i just picked up dreams creater beta and i was wondering can i play the games people that been making ? Because i stink at creating stuff.

well i'm not interested in any of them but i'm sure some people are but i'm not happy or angry about it either way and besides not everything has to appeal to everyone

they don't appeal to me so C'est la vie

@WillMerfi a lot of the ones complaining that this is the WORST. MONTH. EVER. are the same ones who redeem every game and stack their subs out to 2025. PS+ has something like 36 million subs and rising. Nobody's putting the wallet away yet.

I'll probably at least try Horizon. Won't even bothered redeeming the soccer game.

Very unexcited for both, though.

I’m interested in trying Horizon Chase Turbo. The racing genre is one of my least played but I’m like, looking to expand my horizons maaan.

I just got F12019... so can care less about HCT.

But been meaning to try PES for some time. I am happy with that.

Horizon Chase Turbo is great for me really, though I couldn't care less about soccer so that really isn't a game I am even slightly interested in playing. The thing is I still haven't played games that I have received from Plus even a year ago as I just don't have the time so not getting must play games every month doesn't concern me. The sales more than make up for it.

@ShogunRok @get2sammyb @AdamNovice were these poll articles not posted prior to the price increase/games drop? (I've been linked over to this site from Nintendo life and been visiting for a good few months).

I quite like these articles, just to find out what push square and the readers think of the line up. The fact remains that ps plus has decreased in value but this article doesn't comment on it as far as I can tell, it's just a generic poll.

Thought I'd throw my two cents in so the authors don't get too disheartened!

On topic: I don't like football but will try the racing game. I've been trying to play/complete/delete ps plus games for ages to make space on my hard drive so I will at least have to give PES a go. The only football game I like is FIFA 2000 on ps1 for some reason (probably because it's more arcadey). I once played 90 minute match with a friend at 1 in the morning and our scores were like 30-27 (they would've been higher but we kept falling asleep at random intervals because we were so drunk and tired!)

@Paranoimia It's really good fun. I have it on Switch and played it to death. Pure arcade racing joy

I'm okay with the increased articles this week dating back to the EU store/blog debate. For one thing,having polls on ps plus suggestions etc. have been far more interactive & positive than anything that has occurred officially.
I think it was a point @get2sammyb has touched on before-where is the social interaction from Sony's social media? They don't reply on the blog anymore, they don't interact on the EU twitter to any general store enquires, other than to silently repost ones like the ps plus selections when they're getting slammed.
There's an increasing focus on store services-even things like having a more straightforward "Steam style", no questions asked digital refund policy. They cannot just rest on their laurels & regard the staus quo of the past 10 years will continue to work unchanged.

Yeah, I'm fairly happy to be honest. I've not properly got into a Pro Evo game since Pro Evo 4, so I'm a bit worried about the impact it could have on my social life, but other than that I'm all good.

Looking at the bigger picture, though, they could do with adding another game. I think the more months that pass without Sony responding to the criticism, the worse they will look.

@Gremio108 Yeah PES can take over your gaming life, I've spent way over 100 hours in the game. But that was mostly in MyClub and as the football season is over, I'm not sure how much that mode is being supported now.

Will download Horizon Chase Turbo, I do like arcade racers and almost bought it quite recently.

Pes2019 Is always a day one purchase for me. Im happy more people are gonna be able to at least try it, but personally this month brings nothing for me.

It's a year old annual franchise sports game, it's not bad (I love PES) but its obsolete and a mobile game. The poll results sum it up. It's also right to cover it and allow people to voice opinion on what they have spent their money. Well played pushsquare.com for covering it

Neither happy or ticked off, just indifferent. This isn't 'best month evaarrr!' but it's not 'zomg this is horrendous, worst month in history, PS4 is dead, go to hell Sony!' bad like a lot of people playing the fool are saying either. Horizon Chase Turbo seems interesting, but it wasn't $20 interesting to me, now that it's on PS Plus I'll check it out. I do think Sony should overhaul the program a bit when we get to next gen but that's still at least close to a year and a half away. For now a minor adjustment like adding a third game, maybe a VR compatible one, would be the best course of action.

But to the topic at hand and all the crying I've seen... There have been far, far worse months than this. And I'm pretty critical of Sony so if I'm not getting bothered then it's a fact some people are way, way overreacting.

@Paranoimia well I’ve been playing games for over 30 years and can safely say it’s one of the best racing games I’ve ever played. Maybe you should actually play it before passing judgement.

@darthstuey Nah, I've been playing games over 40 years and I know what I like and what I don't. I'm good, thanks. 👍

@Paranoimia crikey- I actually did the maths and it’s 35 years for me. 😱 seriously though if you like racing games then you will love this- it’s in my top 5 games released this year. However, if you don’t like them probably best to avoid.
Do you still have your old systems?

@darthstuey It was probably wrong of me to say the game is "garbage" as I haven't played it, but it's not something which appeals to me at all. I do like racing games, but I'm not a fan of retro-style stuff at all, so it's not a good combo for me.

I no longer have my old systems, mostly for that very reason. I still have some of the games, but most were sold on eBay a good few years ago. The oldest system I currently own is an original PSP.

If you're particularly interested in my likes/dislikes in terms of gaming, or the systems I've owned over the years, have a look here:

Looks like PES has been swapped out for Detroit Become Human. Didn't even realise it had been changed until I had a look there!
