I am actually happy with both PS4 plus games

Edit: but that's because my standards have fallen so low, in the past I had months where the ps+ game was something I played for months after like Sleeping Dogs

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!

I remember buying Alundra back when it did come out, it came with a rad map and everything. It has a sequel but you're best off pretending it doesn't.

Fun fact, Alundra was the first game made by Matrix Software who nowadays are mostly infamous for their average-to-terrible mobile and DS ports of Final Fantasy games. They peaked real early.

Get used to bosses taking a million hits to kill, it's the worst thing about the game. Amazingly it's actually toned down from the original Japanese release, they had even more health.

you said you'd rather have solid indie games and i just said you're more likely to get a Whoa Dave than a Rocket League.

to be fair that's a little cruel, it's probably less than half of the indie games that are stinkers (depending how you define indie) but there's very frequently some real duds that would be a better slot for even a mediocre game :shrug:

not like it matters, I would keep buying Plus anyway

they should give out real, solid, disc based games because we the consumers demand it. they're just setting themselves up to be the next microsoft in the next hardware cycle because sony execs are myopic idiots

ps+ on ps3 didnt give out any retail games until 4 years after the consoles release (cos it didnt exist). the vita got them within the first year because it was DOA and they needed to give it a boost. the ps4 is the fastest selling console ever and destroying this gen. there has never been any reason to expect retail ps4 titles until a while after launch unless the console cratered.

I Would Still Prefer These Games To lovely Retail Launch Titles Thanks.

what if games better than knack existed and they give those out. these are some I could come up with that are lovely or old enough to be freebies instead of tower of guns or whoa dave, if sony gave half a gently caress:

USF IV
Dark souls 2
Rayman whatever it was
Wolfenstein
FFX
Xrd sign base game
second son
borderlands collection
one of the dozens of ubisoft open world games, although i wouldnt even wish this on my enemies
god of war 3 wow this got really dire
uhhh saints row i guess
DMC ugh

... and many other half assed remasters and half baked ps4 titles that have defined this generation. not that these games are good, but theres actually an audience for them instead of the maybe 17 people who played aaru's awakening.

It would have enraged all the people that just bought it seeing as it's less than a month old though.

Also it's not like Broforce and Galak-z are badly regarded bottom of the pile indie games.

I dunno whenever this comes up people talk like Sony just doesn't bother asking or whatever and not that getting a publisher to give away a game for free on a service that most of the people that own the system have is pretty much saying "I think this will make less in total sales in the next year or so than whatever amount Sony is offering". Most would rather just put it on Sale.

I'd be really happy if the gave The Last of Us: Remastered as a PS+ title. It's getting to be cheap is you want a key, which go for $10-$15 online now if you look. They still sell regularly for $20-$30. I'd buy the game but I have a feeling it will be a PS+ game one day.

Nah, just playing online games on my PC instead for a while and doing other things like going to the pub with friends. The PS4 sits there collecting dust till I snag something new to play/a PS+ lineup appeals to me enough to resub.

Hey Yech I got a question and I think I've seen you dig up similar things before. Can you check to see if Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours is cross buy? Because Sony's web store says it's PS4/Vita cross buy when I've never heard of it being so.

It's not, I have the PS4 version but it still wants me to buy the Vita one.

I'll never forget the time someone asked him something and then proceed to reply in gratitude with a three panel photography comic of drinking juice with a mask on and then raising a "Thanks Yechezkel" card. And then Yechezkel replied in kind with his own orange juice, mask, and "No problem" card. Glorious.

I don't see what the problem is with wanting better from PS+ and I say this as someone who hasn't minded what they've released so far. As it is right now it's just Indie Game Subscription. It's not one thing or the other. It's not either Indie games or lovely launch titles. There should be a mix between retail and indie though, and that's certainly not the case. Right now, once my sub is up I can't think of a reason to continue it.

The problem is it's the least interesting possible poo poo to read and there's absolutely no discussion to take place about it. Nobody cares if some other person doesn't want to subscribe to ps+ or what it will take to get them to, unless that person explicitly works for Sony on ps+ new subscriptions and retention rates.

I think everybody wants good games, and I doubt a single person has ever said "whoa this random goon is happy they didn't resubscribe to ps+? poo poo I am glad I found out!"

There's nothing wrong with wanting it to be better but every month it's the same parade of people acting like a lineup of decent indie games is a personal slap in the face and acting like Sony are just deliberately holding back the good games. It just gets tiresome.
