like broforce and galak-z isnt a bad month. it might be a month that some people dont like because of bad taste in games, but its not a month of sony throwing any old poo poo up out of laziness, they're both very well received games.

People will complain unless the entire ps+ lineup is full retail releases, and even if they did that after 2-3 months people would be complaining about the quality of those too.

I think ps+ gives about it's price's worth of entertainment back every year. Last year was definitely one thanks to Rocket League. Some months I don't even bother to install any of the games, some months I find a hidden gem, overall it's all good.

If anything that's even more of a reason to get mad. Two interesting games that get shelved for a joke of a game that you've seen most of in five minutes.

The level of hyperbole in here is reaching amazing levels. Next you'll all be saying I asked for everyone to get free PS4s and a blowjob.

In a way it's even amusing that we get poo poo that would have been at home in a crappy Groupees bundle alongside the couple of good offerings each month. Better than being expected to pay full price to try that trash.

It'd be nice to get some old game from a big publisher that I might have missed but that's really the publishers' fault for holding out instead of Sony.

You have to go to https://gw.sega.jp/gw/create/create1.jsp?product_name=pso2&siteno=P0&p_siteno=P00010 and set up a SEGA ID as well. You don't need Plus though. Good luck.

I've been lucky so far on that front. Neither of my local providers (TWC, U-Verse) places any caps on their Internet service around here. Probably because we're fortunate enough to have two options—competition is good for consumers.

The best solution in Canada for TV right now seems to be OTA antenna + buy season passes for the shows you care about which are unavailable there on the iTunes store or whatever, although you'll have to :filez: or do VPN shenanigans for certain things if you have a set mind about them, like new HBO programs, BBC programs, and sports (dedicated apps and/or VPN + NOW TV from the UK depending on the sports you want, although if you need persistent access and not just every 4 years when the world cup is on you might be better getting an actual TV sports package if a dedicated yearly subscription app isn't available).

At least there are new entrants now like shomi and Crave TV, sad though they may be.

Yeah, I actually ended up with an OTA antenna already, because the most basic Comcast package downgrades even the local channels from HD to SD and then expects you to pay a $10 monthly HD fee and rent a $10 monthly HD cable box to get them back, even though you can just grab them out of the air in HD. It's stupid as poo poo, but it's all those little charges that add up to them justifying $100+ cable bundle packages that don't even have the traditionally 'premium' channels on them.

I wouldn't even have the dumb basic TV level but they hosed with the pricing so that if you don't take that you only save like $5, and if you do take it you can at least stream a few shows off their site. :shrug:

That can't be true because I would love an actual Contra clone but people just keep making bad Megaman or Metroid rip offs.

Wasn't STFU a Contract clone? Personally I hate the true contract controls and those games would be 100 better as a side scrolling twin stick shooter.

katkillad2 posted:

I beg to differ as well. I can get where people have a bone for Rocket League but I didn't think it was amazong. The ball physics are super slow like the entire game is played in slow motion and it annoys me.

Helldivers was a real good PS+ game to get. I'd rate it higher than Rocket League. If someone wasn't a fan of sports game, rocket league isn't that interesting. There were 4 months of adventure games as well that were all good, minus only first episode of Kings Quest and not full game.

No, actually, it's a puzzle game that just happens to look like a side-scrolling 2D shooter.

I like the concept, just the shooting could benefit from modern twin stick aiming. It's nowhere near perfect as it can easily be improved upon to make it perfect.

That's why I'm asking, if it has all the dlc then there's no reason for me to spend an extra $5 on the mega bundle.
