Let me think. I completed Concrete Genie Friday night so thats another one to tick off and delete! I think I'm quite near to completing Figment now as well so I can scrap that soon too.
I also played some GTA VC on Now which was fun. In fact, it made me buy Bully and Red Dead Revolver to relive some other fond memories.
Also found time to play some Dead Cells, Driveclub and FIFA 22. I'm recovering from a burst appendix so have full excuses to not do anything else!
@nessisonett lol, no word of a lie, before I clicked on the article I said to myself "I'm just going to put Sensible World of Soccer down because it's the best game of all time" and then I saw your comment
@nomither6 it is a bunch of trash, and it's a bunch of multiplayer trash that has been given away in PS Plus, hence why I said I'd like some single player experiences for once.
Realistically I won't ever play them anyway, but would like something that is not online multiplayer for once! Just a nice story-driven, offline, solitary experience please!
I'll take:
Watch Dogs Legion (PS5) Dysmantle Riders Republic The Last Stand: Aftermath Death Stranding (not interested personally, but many would be I'm sure) FIST Cuphead Spirit Farer (sic?)
Konami, what a strange company. It's like they are actively trying to troll everyone at this point, what with the disaster of eFootball as well. I mean, did someone from their biggest rival buy them just to destroy the company, or are actual employees making all these decisions?!
I'll be honest, I just want eFootball to release properly and be good. I'm not interested in the online nonsense, I just want to play offline with all the teams available with a decent edit mode and I'll be happy.
Second on my wishlist would be a remaster of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, as the 1+2 remasters were awesome. Other than that, I'm not that bothered really. I never get new releases until a year or two later when they are sub £20 anyway.
My kids also like Moving Out (which is similar to Overcooked but moving furniture etc), Golf with your Friends, Astro's Playroom (on PS5 of course), Human Fall Flat, Bugsnax, King Oddball, Beach Buggy Racing, Castle Crashers, Broforce, Brawlout, Disney Infinity, Goat Simulator, Lego Worlds, Minecraft Dungeons, Nidhogg 2, Nippon Marathon, Plants Vs Zombies, Speed Runners, Runbow, That's You, Frantics, Chimparty, Trials Fusion and Unravel.
These games vary in quality from an adult perspective, but they love playing them. So some suggestions there for anyone who cares to take them!
Meh. Not into Rally games (although I've not played a PS5 racer yet so I'll give it a try), 100% no interest whatsoever in JPRG turn based whatever Persona is, and no interest in online co-op stuff.
Funny how some think some months are bad and some are good. It's almost like it's down to personal opinion!
Anything that doesn't involve budgety, empty online only games. Cough *Operation Tango, Hunters Arena, Knockout City, First Class Trouble, Predator etc etc etc *cough
I'll probably check this out when it's sub £15 in a year or so. I have literally ALL the other AC games to try and grind through first and that's a chore unto itself really.
@get2sammyb any news on why GTA III is streaming only on PS Now? If you can't download it, that's going to go down as well as Godfall and Mortal Shell, if not worse!
Not my type of game particularly so not overly bothered, but it is a pretty s****y move by Sony regardless. I don't know much about the game though, can I play this 'end-game' stuff by myself or is it online co-op only? If so, I won't even bother trying it to be honest.
I tried to create something back when Dreams came out but it was so convoluted and fiddly that I gave up after 5 minutes. I looked at others creations and 99% of them are just plain bad. I've barely been on Dreams since, bar the recent Halloween game which was nice.
I may now revisit it if it's easier to make things with these templates, as the idea of Dreams I really like, it was just the reality (or more my lack of skill) that I didn't like!
@TheRedComet sadly I think the numbers in which these broken games sell suggests 'we' aren't sick of it. Why anyone would want to buy a game for £55 when they know full well they can buy it for less than half that in a years time is beyond me but each to their own I guess.
Only game on there that I'd consider, and only because it's so cheap, is Jurassic World Evolution for a fiver. Anyone recommend that, or is still a waste of money even for that?
I can't play survival games, they're too stressful. I like to chill when gaming, not get all jumpy and what not. Same reason I can't play horror games as well.
@Stocksy I know right?! How is it even a scandal (other than the fact he was married)? Man and Woman consensually text each other rude stuff. Why was he even apologising. It's embarrassing for him and his wife, but shouldn't be a huge story IMO.
@Bleachedsmiles if you would have told me that as well I would have been amazed. Unfortunately the reality is, for me at least, it's just too damn fiddly to make anything worthwhile. Obviously that's not the case for countless other people but I've tried and failed and never gone back to it.
Besides, most of the content in it is a 'try for 2 minutes and forget about it' kind of thing anyway IMO.
@hypnotoad if you search PS5 on Tesco website it will bring up the games. Both R&C and FC6 state the price with or without clubcard. Also, AC Valhalla is £22, Sackboy is £30 and, crazily seeing as it only came out a couple of weeks ago, Riders Republic is £29!
@huyi nah, will be a year at most I reckon. Especially with the way these have been panned in the media. The PS2 ones recently withdrawn from the store were always about £15 for the trilogy in sales, so these will be eventually.
I never buy games, even the big AAA's, until they are under £20 as I can wait. I'm not that bothered getting stuff day one as there are millions of other games out there.
This is great and all, but I can't see it's possible to exercise that well with that massive PSVR stuck on your head. Even more so because it's not wireless.
I'm glad GTA3 is coming to PS Now next month. I can at least try that and see what I think before buying them. If I like the look and feel of it then I will probably purchase them although it will likely be further down the line when they're half the price.
Some great music missing from these games now so if I bought them now it would be too fresh in my memory and would bug me. If I get them in a year or so hopefully I will have forgotten by then!
@Saucymonk You're either young or have no taste in music because there are some amazing songs that have been cut from these games. I suggest you give them a listen and broaden your musical horizons.
I have a hacked PS4 which is gathering dust under my bed. Can't be bothered with the faff to be honest. I have a PS5 but would have no real desire to hack it as that generally means you can't use it online.
I fear the worst, certainly with regards soundtracks. There has to be a reason it's not been mentioned, as Rockstar surely know how important it is to these games. It would have been mentioned in the schpiel, or those trailers.
Be ready for disappointment people. I'm still kind of excited about these though. Not £55 excited, but probably more £25-30 excited sometime down the line.
GTA 3 is my least favourite of the trilogy so bit gutted that's the one we get on Now. On the plus side, at least I can play that and then buy the other two individually at a lower cost in the future!
The thing that is frustrating is, the gameplay itself (more so after todays patch) isn't horrendous. I could certainly try and get used to it over time. The REAL frustrating and, frankly, baffling element to this is they are still persisting with 9 teams and 5 minute matches in offline mode. That was fine for a week or two, but to expect people to continue with that until now Spring 2022 is ridiculous. If they just opened up the full game it would certainly make me play it rather than delete it which I;ll end up doing out of boredom. Even if the game was brilliant, that lack of choice would still make it dull after a short while.
Not in to online gaming. If there was a decent offline or local mode I may have given it a crack with my kids but as there isn't (or I couldn't find one) I swiftly deleted it, never to be seen again. Same with that Among Us clone we got last week.
Why can't we have single player games on Plus? All we ever seem to get now are these online ones?
For the life of me I still can't understand why they are persisting with the 9 teams, 5 minute game version? What's point? Just release all the teams already? I'd happily play it and try it out more than I did if I could play as different teams and for 10 minutes.
Well, technically speaking, GTA V is the best but my favourite is Vice City. Whether that's nostalgia talking I'll find out once the trilogy is in a sale in a years time!
I enjoyed the demo enough but did come away from it thinking this is basically Steep but they've added mountain biking as well. Are there any other events exclusive to this that aren't in Steep? If not, I'd rather just play Steep (unless this turns up on Plus or Now at some point).
Knockout City is average. The Among Us clone, no thanks. The Knight game looks as old as it is. Don't own PSVR so couldn't care less about those games.

Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for February 2022 Do You Want?
@nomither6
Knockout City
Operation Tango
First Class Trouble
Hell Let Loose
Predator Hunting Grounds
Hunters Arena Legends
It's fair to say all of those games are essentially online multiplayer experiences with no campaign or single player stuff worth playing, is it not?
