Poll: Are You Happy With Your PlayStation Plus Games for October 2019?

For me, poor month. I'm not going to whinge about it though, but my reasoning is I already own TLOU on disc (which I actually haven't played so in hindsight, from an MP trophy perspective, it should be nice and active - wooo), and living in the UK I've never had any exposure to baseball so no inclination to play it MLB (I wouldn't have a clue what to do lol).

I’ve always wanted to try The Show. I’m not a huge baseball fan (they play 162 games in a season BEFORE the playoffs), but come October when the playoffs start, that’s when I begin watching.

TLoU is a great game for the 1% who haven’t played it.

Everyman his son his aunt and his dog have played the last of us but as a cricket fan who has no idea about baseball I will definitely give the show a go

Regardless if you have them or not, it’s a good value.

There's no denying that they're two high quality games, but I already have TLOU Remastered on disc and digitally, and I've no interest in Rounders, so it's not a great month for me personally.

@ShogunRok should have called this article give the show a go lol

No question the games are great but if you don't like or care about baseball like me and for some reason you haven't play TLoU which (should be a crime) I play way back on the PS3 it's not that great but I might replay TLoU

Dead chuffed, was thinking about MLB in the last sale and haven’t played TLOU on the PS4

Yes im happy i play the last of us on my ps3 back in 2013.and i don't really remember a lot from it.and i never play the dlc.and its my first time playing the ps4 version.so yeah im happy.and mlb the show 2019 is my first the show games.the last time i play a baseball game was on my psp with baseball stars 2 snk neo geo.best ⚾ baseball game i ever play.and my backlog of games is so big its crazy.i got 20 ps4 games that sealed and 18 games on psn that i need to start.and 25 games that im going to play soon.so im happy.word up son

Yes. Was going to buy the Show anyway so saves me there. No interest in playing the Last of Us though. I think it's a good one!

I’m mad because I just bought The Show full price like an idiot. Good for others plus I don’t have TLOU on PS4, couldn’t get into it on PS3. Maybe I’ll give it another go.

I’ve tried a few times but I just can’t get into baseball, despite how well received the MLB games are. I already own TLoU remastered.

I've got a copy disc of last of us. Time to own the digital version.

Probably won’t play either one, but at least I don’t own either of them, so that’s better than a lot of months.

@SaucyBrotato isn't baseball just rounders?

(i pretty sure that might trigger someone and i apologise but i'm from the UK too and i have no clue about anything baseball)

Very pumped to finally play the Last of Us

@QualityGeezer I'm considering giving it a shot myself!

@ShogunRok snap hopefully make it too first base

If you haven't played TLoU by now you should sell your consoles x)
Anyway, I'm more excited to know what games are coming to PSNOW

The Last Of Us Remastered is great but that rounders game ain't even getting added to my library. I think most American sports are pap.

Well I already have the last of us, but it would be nice to have a digital copy as I've not bought physical copies of games for a good few years. I'm not fussed about getting MBL 19. I almost never play the plus offerings as I've generally already bought the ones I want before. At least with this game I'll be able to play with my nephew when he's round. So might get some use from a game I'd otherwise never have bought

Have played and loved TLOU many moons ago and with living in the UK I have absolutely no knowledge of baseball other than a player called Babe Roof who gets name checked in various movies and I've heard of the Boston Red Socks because like my football team we share the same owners.
I appreciate though that it's the very best baseball game out there though and will make a lot of people happy.

I’m a part of that 1% that @lacerz mentioned that haven’t played TLoU and I really don’t know why since I did own the PS3.

When it comes to the MLB game, I probably won’t play it because I don’t live in the US and know nothing about Baseball.

TLoU is a triple-A game and well-deserved mega-selling hit, so it has the problem of that when being included in plus. I have the PS3 version, though it’s digital carcass is largely untouched for some random reason. So for me, having the PS4 version is good and means that I can easily play it now and ultimately on my eventual PS5.

Baseball? Nah.

I’m sure it has its’ supporters, but not me.

They aren't bad games it's just most people in Europe and especially the UK have no interest or knowledge of baseball so its seems an odd choice outside of the US, I am sure there are people who will love mlb but I can't see it being many

@FullbringIchigo You know what, I actually forgot that was a thing, as when I played it was over 35 years ago.. FeelsOldMan You're absolutely right, very similar if memory serves!

Lets go, blue jays!!!! Always wanted an MLB game, and only last week was tempted to buy TLOU Remastered so im delighted 🙂

If you haven't for some reason played TLOU by now, you're in for a treat (picked it up for $5)

Absolutely no interest in baseball so that is a hard pass.

Baseball isn't popular anywhere except North America so the rest of the world is limited to one game they most likely have played but i get why they chose it considering the hype around TLOU Part 2

For those mildly interested in The Show, but not overly familiar with baseball, might I recommend the following movies:

The Natural
Field of Dreams
A League of their Own
and, of course, Major League

I'm happy Harper isn't making the playoffs and will likely finish in 4th and possibly under .500, so good timing on the photo after the 5 game sweep.

It'd have been fine if Sony would give up a third game after gutting PS+. One game is niche and the other everyone and their mother have played. Poor month, though LOU fits for October admittedly

I've had TLOU since launch and have no interest in Baseball so not for me this month. Then again I have too many games to play so its unlikely I'll be playing any ps plus games for quite some time no matter what we are given

I own TLOU PS3 and the TLOU Remastered PS4 on physical disc. I purchased MLB 15 the Show Anniversary edition, think I played 3 innings stopped to play another day that still hasn't happened. I just never been into sports.

Bad choice already own the last of us like probably everyone else. And Scotland don't do baseball. But I'm more likely to break my controller than play it 😂 😂

@Neolit Mexico and Cuba are both in North America.

@Ryall Cuba is not in NA, it's an island nation...

If I didn't have Last of Us Remastered (as well as the PS3 version), my answers would be a bit different but I had to put 'Neither to be Honest' because Baseball has no appeal at all. Can't say I am looking forward to getting a game I already have and beaten but that's hardly the fault of the game or the calibre of the offering.

If you haven't bought Last of Us yet, firstly, what's wrong with you and secondly, get it if you can!!!

@supergurr there are fans of baseball in the uk. I'm one of them since the days of ichiro, randy Johnson, A rod, I rod (catcher for the rangers), the rocket Roger clemens. It was around the same time the HR record was under Siege from 2 or 3 players. I think it was McGwire who did it and later was ruled to have used steroids. There was also 3 mlb games between the red sox and Yankees in London the summer just gone. The first was a belter.

@themcnoisy
I am glad there is a fan base and I will give the game a try, I would of thought NFL or NBA would be more popular though but I have heard good things about mlb

@supergurr I bought the show 18 and had a great couple of weeks playing it. Polished and a very good package. As a Newby look up some tips on what control methods to use, as there are 3 or 4 distinct ways to play as a Batter, pitcher and in the field. Other than the online stuff (which I didn't enjoy tbh) the single player component is extremely generous in comparison to most other sports games these days with skeletal sp modes. These are all fully fleshed out - Career modes, manager modes, make a superstar all without microtransactions and stuff which is only used online. Its about as fun to play as the bigs 2 last gen but with a load more realism, depth and extra minigames.

For me, great month. Always wanted to play The Last of Us but I never had a PS3 and never got around to picking it up on my PS4 Pro... so yeah I'm pretty hyped. Also, MLB The Show will be fun to try. Not particularly thrilled to play it but interested.

Just wish I didn't have such a big backlog lol.

Its crap every month theres a game that's already available on playstation now which I'm a member of then theres a indie or sports game that are just terrible I mean how old is the last of us I mean if you dont already own it or havent played it already where have you been i just think we should get newer titles

If I were to rank sports in the U.S., it would be:
1) National Collegiate Athletic Association - football (NCAA)
2) National Football League (NFL)
3) National Basketball Association (NBA)
4) National Collegiate Athletic Association - basketball (NCAA)
5) Major League Baseball (MLB)
6) National Hockey League (NHL)
7) Major League Soccer (MLS)

4 and 5 could be swapped, but it's close. Soccer (football) becomes a thing during the World Cup.

Next month:
Don Bradman Kricket and NHL19

@TowaHerschel7 It is an island nation just off the south coast of Florida. It’s in North America the same way Madagascar is in Africa, Britain is in Europe and Japan is in Asia.

@lacerz Thankfully, I am of that 1%.

Only recently got a PS4 (for Spider-Man) and TLOU was on my list of games to get when I eventually got one so very pleased. Probably will give The Show a play but not a sports game fan so not expecting much

I already have TLoU on disk, interested in the extra content that's coming with this edition though. Not really interested in Baseball and have enough other games to keep me busy.

Not bothered haven't renewed don't plan too just got Spyro Trilogy for £17 off store on top of my current single player games I have a good few months. Just need god of war now since on PS essentials

I dislike sports games. But with that said, I do have a guilty pleasure of picking up The Show XXXX always about 2 years older than the current title and play it for a couple weeks. To find myself with The Show 2019 already and at no cost to me, this is a real boon and me literally saving money. And to play the current year's title in the current year? I've never done this...!

here is another page for you whiners to moan about it some more lol Looking forward to trying MLB & giving the last of us 2 another blast.

When I first played TLOU late in 2013 I thought what's wrong with me for playing this so late haha

MLB The Show 19 have this casino gambling in it with these card packs. so i am nover gonna touch that, and ltou remastered i already own. so i cant say i am happy with this month, its a loss for me.

@Frigate
I was all for PES. I already had Detroit. Similar to most the sentiment about baseball on this site, soccer (football) does't have a large following here until the World Cup, and then it's typically the women that get the attention. Point being, it's not something I would purchase, but would give a go if free.

@Ryall @TowaHerschel7
From Wikipedia:

The Caribbean is a region of the Americas that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands and the surrounding coasts. The region is southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and the North American mainland, east of Central America, and north of South America.

Notable Caribbean islands are Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic (don't drink the alcohol), Jamaica, Saint Martin, and the British Virgin Islands.

The States get a lot of baseball players from the region. It's a popular sport there.

I live in Europe I don't want a baseball game. If America wants to force it's sports on Europe, will American plus subscribers receive a cricket game? How about giving them PES?

No one outside the U.S wants MLB..ever.

You got it bang on; I have played TLOU and I don't like baseball

@Arucrazi

I do

I completed TLOU remastered on PlayStation Now and I loved it. Then it was kinda forgotten about until they announced the release date for TLOU2. At which point I thought f##k it I’m gonna buy it and play the game again, then it was leaked to be October ps+ title and well that sealed the deal. I’m glad it’s free this coming month, the best free game period on ps+. I’m not interested in the other game I hate sport games in general, but I do enjoy driving games. I used to love the original NFS games but EA has destroyed them recently, with most of them falling way short of racers like DIRT and The Crew. Looking forward to February. Does anyone think TLOU2 will be the last major game released solely for the PS4? Prior to the PS5 release date?

@Arucrazi I completely agree with you on this point. I recently emailed Sony about why they feel the need to put American sport games to the European players, I’ve also raised it with EA, because EA access is full of American sports, baseball, hockey, basketball, and I believe in targeting the correct audience with these games. FPS are multi national as we all play them but American sports appeal mainly to an American audience, in the same way as Japanese games appeal more to those in the country that lives on anime and manga. I’m sure that Sony and EA could add titles that would appeal more to us in the future, though I think we’d be mad to wait for them to do so. Great that I see others support my theory, and I’m with you all the way on this.

Sports games should not be allowed on Plus.

Alot of people (myself included) don't even touch them.

They drop in value ever year, you can buy old ones for almost nothing.

Already own disc for TLOU, but I'll add the digital version to my library.

So basically, this month is a total wash...

Yep. Very happy. I only got about half way through TLOU and now my ex has it. I've been waiting for it to come to PS Plus. I'll have a go of a baseball game too. MLB is not something I'd buy, and pleasant surprises are part of the appeal of PS Plus.

Funny enough I was thinking about checking game stop for a used MLB the show 19 just last night. This article has made my night!

Well I brought TLOU on disk a few months back but gave it to a friend before I played it so am looking forward to that. As for the show I'm from UK so have no interest in baseball but will be giving it a go at some point I'm sure never know it might be fun and kill a few hours
