Another massive month.

At this rate I might never buy another game again lol. (Well, except the AAA first party bangers)

 

[nongkris]

Sony giving away their PS5 games too early. But better than a PC port so I won't complain. I'll finally be able to play watch dogs.

 

[Nhomnhom]

I've said it sometime ago PS+ Extra is just the best service at this point. Lack of day 1 games don't matter when your old games are newer and better than the competition "new games".

These games are being included on these services way too soon, I don't think Sony has learned it's lesson from Nintendo on how to not devalue your game. At this point you need to be really thirsty for a game to get it day 1.

The combination of raising prices to $70 and including all games on these service so soon is an absolute killer combination. The more you wait for a discount the closer you are to it being included on PS+. At this point it's day one or wait till it's on the service when it comes to Sony games, no in between. Physical copy in case I want to sell it later.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

It's like they don't want people to buy their games anymore. I already played Ratchet twice but I might play it again. I sold my copy.

 

[Nhomnhom]

More Bethesda games, what is actually going on?

 

[Gods&Monsters]

Buried in Premium there's the Ghostbusters remastered on PS4. I need to play that again.

And it's all the Tomb Raider games not just the first one like on the image. It's too much

 

[Ezekiel]

If I'm not mistaken, Tomb Raider 1 (PS3 version) was a PS+ game at some point. TR 2 and 3 were on PS+ too before the new tiers were added.

Still very nice that the whole collection is there for those who haven't played them. Great games.

Too early? Ratchet came out in 2021? Horizon was last year? I think if they were not trying to sell DLC game would not be on the service so early for Horizon.

 

[Nhomnhom]

Sony bet on older but better / more important games is so much better for a service like this.

Xbox puts way too much emphasis on indies and day 1 flops that everyone could see coming. The vast majority of indies appeal to almost no one and they require a much better process of curation. Flopped games add zero value regardless if it was included day 1 or not.

 

[KnittedKnight]

Tomb Raider DE could get an influx of new players... may allow me to get the plat after I laid off on it for years. Good month but I got most of that already.

 

[Bryank75]

I have most of those, anything I really want I'm pretty sure.

Here is DCGuy's video.... he is pretty happy with it.

 

[Nhomnhom]

If Sony isn't working hard to have native PS3 retro on PS5 they are beyond stupid. That would be such a massive win for everyone. So many great games are stuck on PS3. They are still using PS3 hardware on their serves in 2023, that is just bush-league.

I also wonder if what we are seeing now is Sony leveraging the fact that they have the much bigger service to just bury Gamepass like they did with Gold.

I have most of those, anything I really want I'm pretty sure.

Here is DCGuy's video.... he is pretty happy with it.

Dude already opens talking nonsense, PS+ has the quantity and the quality in it's favor.

 

[MScarpa]

Fantastic set of games. Especially for those who haven't played some of these

 

[anonpuffs]

awww man, they might actually finally get me to upgrade. wtf

 

[Gods&Monsters]

I'm looking at the comments elsewhere and some people just can't bring themself to admit PS+ Extra is better than GP. They've been conditioned by the media because of the "Day 1" but their Day 1 are all trash.

56 Meta for Redfall
60 for Ravenlok
62 for Benedict Fox

Sony first-party is unbeatable no matter how many games they dump on GP.

 

[voke]

lmao Sony lapping up gamepass with old content. Day 1 gamepass was nothing but a buzzword for deprived subscribers. Sony is now in a position where they can release 1-2 year old AAA games on PS+ and still exceed both the quality and quantity of GP.

common sony W

Notice just how much the media gives no credit to the quality of PS+. It exposes how manipulative and abusive of their position the gaming media is (a good lesson to learn for life).

When has the media ever criticized MS for hiding numbers, for the trash that is Games with Gold, called them anti-consumer for establishing paid online, pointed out the hypocrisy of their cross-play stance, complained about all the fake trailers Xbox produced in recent years, brought attention to how incredibly bad Phil's track-record of producing games is, had issues with how awful the Series S is or how the Series X fails to live up to expectations. I would legit like to know about a single good website that covers games reliably, calling things like they are. Sony wouldn't get away with any of it as they get held accountable for much smaller mistakes.

 

[Box]

At this point we pretty much have every Syphon Filter game, i guess Resistance Retribution is next since Sony Bend worked on that

 

[Yobo]

I've had PS Plus Extra and gotten some great games out of it. More than I have time to play

My issue with these services is that I am more time poor than money poor. It's probably a better investment to just buy the games I want

For me a universal demo system would be better
