Full Lineup

Broforce, PS4
Flame Over, PS Vita
Galak-Z, PS4
The Last Guy, PS3
Reality Fighters, PS Vita
Super Stardust HD, PS3

I don't get what you're all complaining about. Broforce and Galak-Z are a great combo.

Galakz is simply not enjoyable by the wide majority of people who will play it. You have to work to get anywhere in it and theres only one real mission type so its boring as gently caress on top of being frustrating

Broforce was supposed to be an extra freebie on top of the usual 2 games like grow home was afaik so it being the only other game is a real surprise

Bad month.

Grabbed rocket league, its alot of fun. I can see why people get so hooked on it. Too bad the player base seems a little small. Though I can still find games easy enough.

There's like 80-100k people on any given time I play?

Honestly this is the best month of PS+ I can remember. I don't mind paying for the service at all but I rarely ever actually play the games. This month I'll definitely try them both.

e: TBOI month was best actually

I gave my brother my PS3 for Xmas in 2014 to make sure I got some more work done, but I kept my PS+ because I wanted a fat stack of PS4 games for when I eventually buy one (Bloodborne almost broke me, but I'm holding out for Kingdom Hearts III & FFXV) and even though I have a 1 year gift card I haven't felt any need to resub since Oct' 15 when it lapsed. Axiom Verge is the only game in the last 6 months that appeals to me and it isn't even exclusive.

They could seriously give away The Order or Knack at this point and I still wouldn't resub, I honestly can't think of what they could drop that would get me to pop my code in (maybe TLoU Remastered... Eh I'd bite the bullet for the full Second Son)

Why is that a bad thing? There are a ton of PS+ games that hit that mark including big budget ones. The "work to get anywhere" thing at least.

yeah. maybe it clicks with some people and they'll call me crazy but its a learning curve unlike anythng i've ever played for such boring mission design and poorly implemented rogue lite progression. having put in the time to beat the first 2 chapters i wish i didn't

Yeah I'll probably enjoy those briefly with a twinge of guilt knowing I might have bought them. I know I was falling for some of the hype about Galak-Z before it finally came out and the buzz was nearly imperceptible.

I would have thought the other turds in the combo would make those two look fantastic but somehow it just drives the overall perception down.

I was half expecting it would be a PS+ freebie this month after it was down to 7 bucks the other day. Speaking of Knack, where that one terrible picture of it dancing over some picture of Mario or something?

I'm not interested in knack. And Helldivers is a great game and was a nice free $20 game this month. Magicka, Gauntlet, TWD2, Grim Fandango... all good titles since October.

I'm just sad we didn't get Assault Android Cactus. But it will go on a 50% off sale in a few months.

No because if you purchase them by having a plus subscription, you'd still own them if it lapses. Getting free plus games is a bit more ephemeral.

he said he felt guilty, not that he wished he had a permanent license. no one should feel guilty about getting a game on plus instead of full price because they pay for plus and sony pays the devs and 20 million downloads at whatever low rate beats the usual trickle at full price that a year old indie game gets anyway.

Sony reads this thread and the PS Blog comment section. Knack will be the free game at E3 this year when they announce Knack 2. PS+ sales skyrocket. PS4 sales quadruple.

I wouldn't have paid money for it, but I'll take it as a free title. A lot of PS+ titles are ones I was on the fence about and end up getting them for free. Rocket League was one title I would have never bought on my own.

The only ones I bought before PS+ were Guacamelee and Helldivers. I was going to buy OlliOlli2 day one but got that for free. Magicka 2 is OK but getting it for free is nice.

I got 2 years for $40 because Newegg screwed up and sent me 2 cards with my single order. Either way, $40 deals for PS+ are super common.

Throw in a 25 cent avatar maybe? I think some of the cheapest stuff is sill a quarter.

If you're trying to reach 100 dollars, most people are okay being a penny or two under but I'd be safe and just get an avatar.

bought volume and alundra the other day.

volume is ok. idk. nothing special really. its seems solidly made and does what it sets out to do but its not really that interesting.

Alundra is loving amazing. idk how i missed this game 20 years ago. I beat the first dungeon and other than the slime boss requiring a few dozen too many hits to kill for my tastes it was epic as gently caress. did they ever make a sequel? who owns the rights? Get on it sony!

There's an Alundra 2 and while it's pretty good it's nowhere near the emotional punch in the dick that the first one is.
