Pacman 256 (or whatever it's called) with the wee man, good for a wee break from bigger games and a fun little coop game.
Still working through GoT, about to have to clear out the Forge after saving Yuna's brother, just tidying up a few side quests and the like before doing that. Assume I'm nearing the end of Act 1 at this point but haven't really checked as don't want any spoilers.
Have been messing around with Empire of Sin as well, it's always interested me as I love this type of game but never pulled the trigger because of reviews. Happy it's on Extra so as I can give it a go, seems ok though I've not done very much at all.
Happy with Crash, especially as it's the PS4 and 5 version, means the wee man can get it as well, he's has been wanting it for a while although we are still working out way through the trilogy.
Some people get so wound up by the least of things. Imagine letting it get to you like that.
The emails are a minor annoyance. Set up a folder and with a rule that puts them in that folder. Then turn notifications off on that folder. Purge it every so often if you need to.
Amongst other thing downloaded GoT from Extra, tried it out last night and am quite enjoying it so I'll likely be playing that for what little time I have this weekend
I honestly find it baffling that there are people out there who thought they could just lay down £80/£100 a year and they would get access to an ever expanding list of games forever more.
Boggles the mind so it does.
Would be nice however if you got a bit off it if you choose to then purchase the game, much like you get with GP.
So had a proper look throught this now, Extra tier.
Downloaded GoT Demon Souls Guardians of the Galaxy Empire of Sin (more out of curiosity than anything) Stellaris (expect I won't get on with this too well as I play it on PC) Tetris Effect Terraria
On top of that we have Stray to come and there are about another dozen games that I would like to give a bash.
All the other heavy hitters I own already (Returnal, Miles Morales, Spiderman etc).
Depending on the quality added during refreshes I can see this being quite decent for the money, certainly I'm getting my money's worth as we start the service.
Was gonna get a quarterly next week when my sub runs out but might just fork out for the year and see how it goes
My PS+ is up next week's so I'll probably upgrade to extra, couple of games I've not played that I've never felt like buying but wouldn't mind giving a go.
Reckon I'll take a 3 monther then bump it back down, anything I desperately want to play I would rather purchase if I'm honest.
I'm not huge on going back to old games and if I ever get the urge I have all the old consoles so can't see me ever having a need for premium.
Only one wishlist game on sale which is Trek To Yomi but I'll pass just now, not because of the price, just got too much to play and not a lot of time to play at the minute.
I only pick up DA:I because it was something like £4 in a sale and I was looking for something to play, had a good time with it. Hand played any other DA games.
I hope not, not much of a fan of GoW (and already played it on the PSPlus Collection) the other two... All Star Brawl might be fun to play with the wee man. That's about it.
I can't decide whether I expect they will be god awful to try to push people to try one of the higher tiers of they will pull an absolute blinder to build some hype before the NA and Euro launches.
I picked up Toejam and Earl and RE3 in the sale so the plan is to finish up RE2 and start on 3, and will be playing some TJ&E online with my old man for a wee bit of nostalgia.
The kid has just picked up a PSP so no doubt there will be some time spent on that as well
Could the sports game be their delve back into golf? Get it out in March, a month or so before The Masters. Have Agusta/The Masters officially licenced, make a killing among golf gamers
@The_Moose I had never played Xcom before getting 2, that and the War of the Chosen expansion are fantastic, looooong load times on the PS4, never tried it on the PS5 though
I've hardly touched the PS5 over the past couple of weeks but FIFA will get me back too it, not bought it this year (or last) so will see what it's like. I don't expect much will have changed. Was never big on FUT so not like I've missed a season worth of fleecing.
The other games I'll probably add to my library with the intention of playing and never get round to them.
Any time I have gone back to an old game, not a remake, I never feel like the hold up.
Not interest in the top tier service at all personally, but my kid wants its.
Trying to put the stoppers on that, just bought him a second hand PS2, he already has a PS3 and he like to collect retro consoles, so hopefully this will work out cheaper as we can just pick up the games we want and not be forking out for a service that will probably be full of filler.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Essential Games for July 2022?
Happy with Crash, especially as it's the PS4 and 5 version, means the wee man can get it as well, he's has been wanting it for a while although we are still working out way through the trilogy.
That makes it a fine month for me.
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for July 2022 Announced
Happy with Crash, good it's the PS4 & 5 versions, means the wee man can get it on the PS4 as well.
MoM I had on my list of games to try on extra, not too fussed about the crossover with the potential to keep it if I down grade.
Multiplayer crap, as ever, will be ignored.
Happy enough with the month.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for July 2022 Leaked Early
Crash is a solid pick if true, me and the wee man will no doubt have some fun with that.
MoM I can get through Extra but in all honesty I'm not fussed if there is overlap, not like I'm missing out there.
As always, anything multiplayer ain't for me so that will be left well alone.
Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Premium Has Turned My Email Inbox into a Nightmare
@zupertramp can you stop replying to me, you're filling up my inbox with pointless notifications.
And I'm not working hard to do anything, I'm just sat here enjoying my afternoon.
Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Premium Has Turned My Email Inbox into a Nightmare
@zupertramp I'm sure more than my bank offer that service, probably most do these days.
Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Premium Has Turned My Email Inbox into a Nightmare
@lacerz and there is that.
If you know how to set up filters correctly it really is amazing what they can do. Genius you could say.
Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Premium Has Turned My Email Inbox into a Nightmare
@zupertramp my online banking takes care of that for me, little things called notifications when I spend.
Genius right enough
Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Premium Has Turned My Email Inbox into a Nightmare
@get2sammyb oh I know the article is in jest, some of the comments here though... Maybe not so much

Awaits people moaning they shouldn't need to
Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Premium Has Turned My Email Inbox into a Nightmare
PlayStation - Thank You For Your Article.

Enjoy!
Re: PSA: PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Removed from the Service Aren't Yours to Keep
I honestly find it baffling that there are people out there who thought they could just lay down £80/£100 a year and they would get access to an ever expanding list of games forever more.
Boggles the mind so it does.
Would be nice however if you got a bit off it if you choose to then purchase the game, much like you get with GP.
Re: Poll: Which PS Plus Tier Are You Subscribed To?
Extra here. Happy with that, premium would be a waste for me regardless of the catalogue
Re: PS Store Weekend Sale Live Now, PS5 Exclusives Included
Yeah if I'm buying a game day one I know it's gonna be cheaper down the line... But I want it day one.
Wouldn't say I've been screwed over. If it went half price in the 1st few days yeah...
Your head needs a wobble if you think your being screwed over... Don't like the price? Wait for a drop.
Simple stuff.
Re: PS Store Weekend Sale Live Now, PS5 Exclusives Included
@Gloamin 100 times this, great game and for under £20 it's a steal.
I'll need to do another play through at some point soon... After the glut of games from the new plus
Re: PS Plus Extra Members Get Deliver Us the Moon PS5 Version Today
It's maybe not one that I would have bought unless it was on sale, but now, I'll be sure to give it a bash
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Now Live in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand
So had a proper look throught this now, Extra tier.
Downloaded
GoT
Demon Souls
Guardians of the Galaxy
Empire of Sin (more out of curiosity than anything)
Stellaris (expect I won't get on with this too well as I play it on PC)
Tetris Effect
Terraria
On top of that we have Stray to come and there are about another dozen games that I would like to give a bash.
All the other heavy hitters I own already (Returnal, Miles Morales, Spiderman etc).
Depending on the quality added during refreshes I can see this being quite decent for the money, certainly I'm getting my money's worth as we start the service.
Was gonna get a quarterly next week when my sub runs out but might just fork out for the year and see how it goes
Not bad from Sony though IMO.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Now Live in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand
Upgraded to Extra last night and had a quick look through, seen what looked like a lot of PS4 games listed as Premium.
I'm gonna assume as it was so late my brain was tired and I was missing something obvious.
Can't even remember which ones neither.
I'll have a look once the kids leave for school, check it out properly
Re: Gran Turismo 7 Patch 1.17 Adds Three Cars, a Track, and Menus
Nice update, been a wee while since I've picked this up but a few new menus will get me back into it
Re: Reminder: PS Plus Extra, Premium Roll Out Across Europe Tomorrow
My PS+ is up next week's so I'll probably upgrade to extra, couple of games I've not played that I've never felt like buying but wouldn't mind giving a go.

Re: PS Store Mid-Year Deals Sale Includes 600+ PS5, PS4 Game Discounts
Only one wishlist game on sale which is Trek To Yomi but I'll pass just now, not because of the price, just got too much to play and not a lot of time to play at the minute.
Re: Call of the Wild: The Angler Is the Open World Fishing Game You Never Knew You Wanted
This is the sort of game I have no interest in but can see myself picking up on sale for a laugh and getting hooked...
I'll get my coat.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 431
Shredders Revenge with the kid, done a couple of levels already but not had a huge amount of time so gonna get stuck in this weekend.
RE2 PS5 edition will be getting fired up as well.
Have a good one!
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (PS4) - Brilliant Beat-'Em-Up Is Best in Co-Op
Just downloaded, waiting on the wee man to get in from school to crack on.
Nice to get a couple of quid discount as well.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (PS4) - Brilliant Beat-'Em-Up Is Best in Co-Op
Looking forward to this, loved the TMNT games as a kid and looking forward to a play through with the wee man
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Is a Year Old
I loved it, great game, would have maybe liked a little longer but in reality it was probably a good length.
Might give it another play through sometime over the summer.
Re: Isometric 1920s Shooter Enemy of the State Coming to PS5 in, Um, 2024
Sounds like something that would be of interest. Defo one to keep any eye out for.
Re: Poll: Will You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?
Completed it on PS3 and again when the Remaster came out in PS4.
That's plenty.
Re: Casey Jones Joins the Roster in TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Launching 16th June on PS4
Day one. And I'm buying a pizza. Maybe two.
Re: Rumour: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Eats Pizza and Parties to PS4 Very Soon
@get2sammyb for sure
Re: Rumour: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Eats Pizza and Parties to PS4 Very Soon
Can't wait, been looking forward to this and the Cowabunga collection.
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 PS5 Versions Probably Out Next Week
I am yet to actually finish 2 and still have 3 to start, so I think I'll just wait and play through them both with the patch
Re: Rock That Resident Evil 4 Remake Style IRL with Leon's Actual Jacket
Is that all?
In that case, I'll take two please.
Re: Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Is the Official Name of BioWare's Fourth Entry
I only pick up DA:I because it was something like £4 in a sale and I was looking for something to play, had a good time with it. Hand played any other DA games.
Will probably look to pick this up at some point
Re: Days of Play 2022: The Best Discounts on PS5, PS4 Games and Accessories
Picked myself up a Nova Pink dual sense for £45 last week, nothing games wise taking my I terest though.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Games for June 2022 Might Have Leaked
I hope not, not much of a fan of GoW (and already played it on the PSPlus Collection) the other two... All Star Brawl might be fun to play with the wee man. That's about it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 428
Got a 2nd Dual Sense on Amazon with a few quid off the other day so been playing a bit of resogun multiplayer with the wee man.
Other than that we have cracked out the old mega drive and have been playing some classic sonic.
Tomorrow I plan to start on the RE3 Remake
Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for PS5, PS4 in June 2022 Do You Want?
I can't decide whether I expect they will be god awful to try to push people to try one of the higher tiers of they will pull an absolute blinder to build some hype before the NA and Euro launches.
Probably just be meh...
Re: PS Plus Games for Asia Officially Confirmed
If we get that list here there are a few games on the extra list I have never bothered to buy but would take a few months sub to play through them.
Premium or whatever it's called list is of no interest, got my old consoles if I ever want to go down that route
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 427
@gollumb82 we have just got a PS2 as well
We got an HDMI adapter for it and it works well enough
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 427
I picked up Toejam and Earl and RE3 in the sale so the plan is to finish up RE2 and start on 3, and will be playing some TJ&E online with my old man for a wee bit of nostalgia.
The kid has just picked up a PSP so no doubt there will be some time spent on that as well
Re: Two New PS Store Sales Live Now, 250+ PS5, PS4 Games Discounted
Think I'm gonna pick up Toejam & Earl Back In The Groove.
That will probably be it, tempted by RE3 but I, need to go back and finish up RE2
Re: Mini Review: Unpacking (PS5) - Making Chores Fun
I'm tempted. Might pick it up over the weekend
Re: EA's Lineup for 2023 Includes an Unannounced Remake, a 'Major IP', and More
Could the sports game be their delve back into golf? Get it out in March, a month or so before The Masters. Have Agusta/The Masters officially licenced, make a killing among golf gamers

Re: PS Store Extended Play Sale Flogs Pricey PS5, PS4 Ultimate Editions
Empire of Sin is one that I am I interested in but some of the reviews put me off.
Think it needs to be a little lower for me to take the plunge
Re: Mini Review: This War of Mine: Final Cut (PS5) - Sombre Survival Hits Hard
@GMaster7 Frostpunk is fantastic, defo worth a go.
I have this on my mobile, it's fine for me in short bursts. Not exactly light hearted but a a decent enough game
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for May 2022?
I've hardly touched the PS5 over the past couple of weeks but FIFA will get me back too it, not bought it this year (or last) so will see what it's like. I don't expect much will have changed. Was never big on FUT so not like I've missed a season worth of fleecing.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus Premium's PS1, PS2, PSP Games Have Started to Leak
