We all love to play games, but some "spoiled brats" really need to step back and take a good look at themselves. The same idiots would do the same thing if the game was released on time with bugs in it. Good luck to Sean Murray and his team; hope it all works out.
Good for you for giving such an honest review. Bethesda have been guilty in the past of doing this, and it's not acceptable to ask punters to pay for something that doesn't run acceptably, again!
Here we go, Bungie putting the Destiny fans through the wringer again to squeeze more ££££ out of them. All of this content should have come in a couple of DLCs, and they should have cost about £15 each. Complete BS.
I gave up just before TTK, and don't think I will be tempted back. Just can't swallow the pricing model. Will be pretty much steering clear of Bungie because of that.
You're right, It's fairly poor to be honest. I was looking forward to this one, but having had 4 or 5 goes, I don't feel the need to do it again. Shame.
Some good stuff on there if you don't have it already. Sadly I have all the ones that I would want from that selection. Still, it bodes well for next sale time.
I voted for prize draws, purely because I'm not interested in the other 2. I just renewed my PS+ for another year, mainly because of online gaming; which we used to get free on ps3. I've pretty much given up on the free games. I think what Sony are doing is very cynical.
Not for me Bungie I'm afraid. I quit just before TTK, as I thought they were ripping the p*ss out of their customer base. Too much other stuff on the horizon to get back into Destiny now.
LOL trophies! I can't remember when I last looked at mine. I just buy a game, play on normal level, finish it, buy another game etc. I guess I have lots of bronze ones
Remastering a game that was so flawed in the first place doesn't seem a wise move really. As you say, it's lazy. With the AAA game releases starting to stack up for PS4, I can't see why many folks will choose this one?
Looks like fun. I've never played any R&C games before, and because I have pretty much decided to give The Division a miss, this is looking very tempting right now
I just ran it on Windows 10 laptop with a 2.2Ghz (not i5) chip and it ran fine. Played Smite ok on it. Only tried on default res though. All good so far. My Mrs can watch the telly again
Have upgraded my HDD to 2TB, so I just download the free games anyway, and delete the ones I know I wont play, after I have tried them out. I know that I will be playing Zombi for sure though.
Not being a Souls fan, and not being ready to bite on The Division, it would have been a quiet month for me. Except that I'm addicted to Smite, and spend every waking hour on it. Aaaaaaarrrgg!
Nah, I will wait for PS5. Trouble is, that it will be pushed back because of the PS4.5, and we will be looking at at least another 5 years. The only way that I might buy one is if my current PS4 stopped working in the meantime.
Wasn't all that impressed when I heard about Dead Star, but haven't played Zombi, so am pleased with that; it's certainly better than the usual pedestrian offerings from PS+. Well done Sony.
I think that if they could provide one AAA game per quarter, it would keep most subscribers happy. Some of the indie games are pretty good, I seem to have missed out on Rocket League , but it needs a little more meat on the bone. I will never agree with the idea of charging for PS+ just to have access to online games; but since I have little choice, it would be nice to squeeze a bit more out of them.
Like a lot of games, the idea of it was a lot more exciting than the reality. I didn't bite and am quite glad at the moment. I bit with Destiny and sank a lot of hours into it, but abandoned it over the TTK pricing issue. That has taught me to wait it out and see. So far, the story seems to be that the end game isn't up to much, so I will look at it again in a few months.
@thatguyEZ, I can see your point, but I would say that when I bought PS+ the games were good enough to tempt me in on the basis that I hoped to get at least a few more of the same quality. Also, as I play online games a lot, I have no choice, unlike on PS3. Anyway, I have to have it to play online, so I guess the games are just a bonus (or not) nowadays.
Thanks for the great review. I have to say that I'm still not tempted yet. Common sense says that, after the Destiny experience, it's worth waiting until Ubisoft sort a few things out and make the side mission stuff more appealing with updates (hopefully). I will give it a few months, since there is lots of good stuff to play at the moment. I am spending way too much time on Smite
@AlexStinton Thanks. The model is an interesting one; as players can play for free in perpetuity? SMITE for example, I have been playing the beta, and it seems that you don't need anything like 70+ gods to have all the bases covered, I have 11 so far including the starter ones, and seem able to cope ok. I suppose the idea is that players get bored with the same dozen gods and either stop playing or buy the pack. I wonder how this will work out for Hi-Rez?
The attraction of Destiny has long worn off on me; mainly due to them ripping off vanilla players with TTK, which is where I got out. The only thing I miss is the PVP, but SMITE just came out for PS4; and it's free, so that's that sorted. Don't think I would invest in Destiny 2, especially if they have the same pricing strategy; I just believe that Bungie are taking gaming in the wrong direction by doing this.
Played Fallout 4 through once, started a 2nd go but couldn't be bothered and left it half done. Don't think DLC is a priority at the moment with so many good games coming up.
Sorry to hear that there is no really good armour type gear to trawl for, as this was one of the attractions of Destiny for me, and I would like to have seen it here. That maybe a deal breaker for me, as I'm still on the fence about The Division. Hmm....

Re: Round Up: Overwatch PS4 Reviews Are Ridiculously Positive
So be it. It's a bit pricey in it's current form though.
Re: Talking Point: What June PlayStation Plus Free Games Do You Want?
Gonna say what I said Last month; Dishonored. If I keep saying it, I might be right at some stage

Re: Hands On: Fallout 4: Far Harbor's Frame Rate Is Unacceptable on PS4
Why do hey keep doing this?The Skyrim DLC springs to mind here. Do they not even test the stuff they release?
Re: Review: Shadow of the Beast (PS4)
Pre ordered this, so glad to hear it's ok.

Re: Dishonored 2 Gets Stabby This November on PS4
I liked Dishonored, and will playing 2 for sure. There is a lot of other stuff out, or coming between now and then though, so it might have to wait.
Re: Your Free PS4 PlayStation Plus Games Include Tropico 5, Table Top Racing
Good stuff this month. I was predicting Dishonored, but Tropico 5 will do nicely.
Re: Talking Point: What May PlayStation Plus Freebies Do You Want?
Not really bothered, unless it's Ratchet & Clank or Uncharted 4
I reckon it will be Dishonored though...just saying!

Re: Site News: Push Square Readers Select the 64 Greatest PlayStation Games of All Time
No Oblivion or Skyrim? No Diablo III? Have to say I'm surprised.
Re: First Impressions: Furi Is a PS4 Indie You Shouldn't Ignore
This looks good to me. I already have my eye on Shadow of the Beast, so this might go on my wish list as well.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 112
Starting to sound like a broken record here. Smite and Diablo III. Might give Zombi a go as well if I have time.
Re: Wow, Ratchet & Clank PS4 Looks Seriously Sensational
Looks like fun. I've never played any R&C games before, and because I have pretty much decided to give The Division a miss, this is looking very tempting right now
Re: The Battleborn Open Beta Is Up and Running on PS4
^^ that's really tragic. Not a good start then! I might have a go, but I'm already playing Smite a lot, so might just stick with that?
Re: Bethesda's Already Hyping Its E3 2016 Showing
Skyrim came out in 2010, no way is it too early for ES6. I want more and I want it now; well, soon.
Re: Guide: How to Use PS4 Remote Play on Your PC, Mac

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 111
Same as last weekend; Smite and Diablo III.Seriously loving Smite, just wish I was better at it

Re: Bungie Is Making Some Good Changes to Destiny in the April Update
You know that Marlon Brando film where he says "I could have been a contender". That's Destiny.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy an Upgraded PS4K?

Re: Shadow of the Beast Finally Skewers a PS4 Release Date
I'm up for it. Looks pretty good, and decent price.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Easter Edition 4
Smite. Need to finish The Last of Us Remastered, and have recently (finally) got a copy of Diablo III to get stuck into. Busy weekend.

Re: Talking Point: What April PlayStation Plus Freebies Do You Want?
Darksiders II, or Lords of the Fallen. I just nabbed AC Black Flag for £12.50 from PS Store, so not that one, nooooooooo!

Re: Live: Watch Us Put Epic Games' PS4 MOBA Paragon Through Its Paces
Looks good. When does it release as a free game?
Re: Rumour: Sony's Building a Supercharged PS4 Console
Hope this doesn't happen. PS4 should stay current for new games until PS5 is released; I will certainly feel cheated if Sony do this.
