Good selection, I was hoping that with the merger of Plus and Now the double dipping across tiers would end. But I guess too much cost/effort for Sony.
Oh yeah and Motorstorm. Streaming yes, but will love to try that out again. Such a great series! Split/second I missed out on that first time around, was looking online for a copy. But now it's just there.
It's pretty good for me as a long term PS+ subscriber and having recently got PS Now at 50% off. Loads of games in there for me, maybe 20 that I'll play or at least try. If the content added is reasonable I'll stick with PS+++. The catalogue seems messy though. I've been through a couple of times to browse then I read that a certain game is on the service. Did I miss it or was it hidden in some way? Needs more and better quality PSP, PS1, 2&3 games especially in Europe. Maybe an option to search by platform to help find older gems? But so far an improvement for me.
Quite a bit of my wishlist is on sale, but with PS+++ arriving tomorrow I'm waiting on Returnal and anything else in there before I buy anything else for a while.
Looks beautiful, but honestly platforming is poor at times, riding on a mount and getting stuck on the slightest slope or terrain. Getting attacked and having to spend dodge, jump anything at I can't see for to scenery blocking everything.
Seriously not a 10 for me by a big margin. Missions etc are good and like the scope of side quests and collectables. But some gameplay improvements needed to basic functions.
Bought the PS4 disc for just over £50. Upgraded to PS5. Everyone I start up the PS5 it starts to try and install the PS4 version. Delete icon and repeat/rinse. I wish I'd paid the extra £10 I can afford it and my OCD would be better.
Point is Sony dropped the upgrade fee for the hard core that visit and complain on gaming sites not for the Joe public everyday consumer. But their upgrade path is awful, clunky and from what I hear from Xboxland vastly inferior.
Planet Coaster is a good game (already got it), UFC not my thing but seems to have reviewed ok and is less than 2 years old, so looking good even if nothing new to me, but the crap around Tiny Tina (dlc and the full version had been on ps+ before) and the gate keeping of PS5 versions Vs cross gen is just crap. Must do better.
I've got the Roller coaster game, not interested in sports or fighting games, but the Tiny Tina is a dlc standalone spin off? That's pretty cheap Vs PS+ of old. Each month there's some caveat or oddity, like when we got the 'special' version of Godfall.
So I buy the cheaper PS4 version physically and then upgrade for free to post the full fat PS5 version. That's dumb. So many people are going to over pay without knowing.
Come on, this is a dumb poll it depends on the game. Skyrim is a game I've sunk over a hundred hours multiple times. But then there's smaller shorter games (Cat Quest, Journey). There are games that go on too long (Ghost of Tsushima and many open world games). There is no ideal size for a game.
I didn't think it was that outstanding tbh. Certainly not as good as previous RE games let alone the best overall game for the last year. Still, you know what they say about opinions...
6 games for me from Jan to Oct. Not great. Some good games I've already played as well. For the first time since launch I am questioning if PS+ is worth it for me. It's always been up and down and you have to take the gift months and the 'bad' months as a while, but not looking the best value for me for some time now.
I tried the demo earlier today. Was hoping it's be good, but found it quite boring. It may get better, but if I can't be bothered to play the demo you're not selling me on the full game. Shame as I wanted to like this.
Does the SSD allow fast loading of levels? Yes. See the PS5 Ghost of Tsushima video of fast travel. Is this guy right that R&C Rift Apart may use the SSD but technically it could be done by other clever means? Yes. He's got a point. It's used as a gimmick in R&C but overall it's not like it's actually adding anything. So back off internet reaction force. The man's not slamming on R&C, he's calmly making a technical point.
I had a recurring issue with the sound going really weird when using the official PS5 headset. That stopped with the last patch when they removed the 3D support. Hopefully all fixed now.
Big meh from me. Already played a Plague's Tail and zero interest in the other two. But that's how it goes. Previous months have been pretty good for me, so no biggie.
Solid enough and polished as a expected from a R&C game. I found a lot of the weapons disappointing and samey in comparison to previous games. Even the Ryno was a bit meh.
Reading the latest blurb from EA the deluxe edition has pitcoin currency... I'm reserving judgement until we hear more, but EA being EA I've gone from very interested to cautious.
Having not played this on PS4 I had to check what version I had downloaded. Doesn't look very spangly and so far I'm not sure I've noticed anything beyond the odd rumble from the controller.
I'm not even going to bother. My life is busy enough without having to be restricted in this way. Awful idea for anyone with jobs, non gaming partners or kids. Thanks for nothing Capcom.
I'm amazed at the rave reviews now I'm finally playing the game. With no nostalgia to fall back on, I have to agree with most of the points.
The characters are annoying. Gameplay is ok, but there's a lot of doing nothing but walking about aimlessly. Textures can be awful quality on occasion. It's not a good game. Puzzles if you can call them that are dull.
The bit with Don Cornflakes or whatever his name is, is cringey and even if that's in the original game (I can only assume it is) is just too rapey for me.
I'm going to finish it just because I feel I should, but as a fan of JRPGs that somehow missed this first time around this is disappointing and if it didn't have the name would not have been so well received. Terrible, dull, clunky.
@Vladspartan thanks problem with planning to play with people is I can't guarantee when I'll get around to playing it and even then with family life it's not straightforward. Will give it a go with randoms. Thanks for the offer.
Final Fantasy VIII remake and Marquette. Win win. Already played Farpoint, it's....ok. Not interested in the other game. Overall it's a very good month of PS+
The title of the article was clear what it was about. So don't click on it if you don't want to read more. It's not clickbait.
It's like opening a Dark Souls article and complaining about it being about Dark Souls because you have no interest the game. Just read something else you ducknuggets.
I downloaded it, saw there was a bit of a mixed feeling about it edging towards negative so deleted it. That said I'm more a SP game with the odd dabble online, so not the target audience.
I went with good. Games wise, it looks ok long term, but not clear what we are getting at launch (not much it seems). But saved by the PS+ Collection and that price point. Game on for next gen - Sony ain'y messing that's for sure.
