8 Yakuza games coming to PS+ in 2022 (August 2022 Games for PS+ Extra confirmed)

I have concerns with demos. You could see these manifest in ways not foreseen. Bloated tutorials and deceptive big budget openings with the rest of the game lagging.

Or imagine it was an arcade game where it throws all of itself at you within the first 5 mins of gameplay.

I’m not so crazy about such standards. Sounds nice on paper but I expect lots of baggage.

I think you overestimate how much devs care, if anything they'll try to give a better impression of their game early on. Not bad for me because if a game doesn't hook me up in the beginning odds are I'll drop it completely anyway.

I always enjoyed demos, loved the demo discs back in the day, I think it promotes quality and if anything it's a risk the devs are taking not the player.

I also know from my experience with Gamepass that it ends up being a big library of demos, I keep changing from game to game trying to find something special and I don't end up playing anything. If I play something truly great that requires me to pay to keep playing odds are I'll pay.

I had zero expectations of liking FFVIIR until I played the demo for example then I was hooked. I would've never bought Cyberpunk if I had played a demo first. In the ideal world every game would have a demo available.

I legitimately had a phase in the middle there where I tried to use it, but alas it just isn't the same thing.

That and we get licenses for office suite stuff via work now so that's cool.

Yeah, that's why I tossed in the "for what I need it for". I get it's not for everyone, and businesses do heavily utilize some Office features. But for the simple end user looking for a good word processor to write or who just needs the more basic features of an office suite, it's always my go-to recommendation.

This is one of those situations where I'm happy for those who get to play this series, but don't care about this news as I own the whole series and played em years ago lol


I hope many have a great time with them, one of the most underrated series in gaming imho.

I know the order talk has 99.9% already occurred a dozen times, will still say it anyway...

Start with Zero, then remake 1 and 2 lol

Ideally that’s what Extra should be tho. If you’re there from the launch of these games more than likely most of its library will not appeal to you because the games that do you’ve already played.

Ideally it’s a supplemental service for those who are either a) more casual b) those who only really just or play a handful of games a year.

There are trends in the multiplayer space. Most players have their “main game” that they play day in and day out for sometimes years on end. This is a perfect option for those who always lag behind.

Overall I think Extra is pretty solid. These games still need to make money to continue to be made. So a retail run, and whatever that means in this day and age, is still necessary. If they exhaust their sales potential or flop; then they can find their way to Extra.

For me personally. I’ve gotten way cheaper as a gamer. It takes me ages to finish a game, and everything is bloated to 100 hours plus these days. So no reason for the day one… it’ll drop 30 percent in the first two months anyway and I’ll still have barely touched it.
