I see they're trying to keep ps+ game genres varied.

I guess its hard to pick between helping people discover games vs picking out popular games.

Like NBA 2k16 still being high selling means that while its cool (i have no interest in basketball games) the people who wanted it probably swarmed it.

But yeah they'll offer more games as the systems life goes on and ps3 and vita stuff vanish slowly.

I'm not a fan of sports games in the least, but if NBA is at least decent (which is sounds like it is) it will make me happy. It's nice that they're dropping a sports game for people finally.

Gone Home looks neat, which also makes it not as bad.

Yeah, I've spoken to several RPG publishers and RPGs tend to continue to sell (relatively) well over their entire lifetime, especially in the digital era where they can frequently continue to sell without additional printings. They never sell multi-millions or whatever but they're a reliable income source.

This one I've actually heard good things about, and Disgaea. Everything else sounds like ports of older games.

I guess that answers the question of why no free RPGs.

Nintendo games enjoy the long sales tails too (hence not many price decreases on nintendo games(

But I think part of it is, rpgs are kind of.... timeless? There's no multiplayer to pile in on early, rpgs tend to be played by more patient people and they're fine to buy anytime, and they tend to provide tons of hours of gameplay, as long as you're willing to put in effort to get into it.

Is Digimon any good if I was going in with zero knowledge of previous anime series, card games, or wherever the license originally comes from?

Yeah it's really easy to get into. And it can be addicting. I only knew like 10 of the possible digimon evolutions, which is fine, since it was fun seeing what they evolve into,

It's seriously a really solid game. Like the second best thing to persona on the vita. It'll keep you busy for 80+ hours, especially if you wanna do postgame stuff.

Even as someone who played a bunch of those old isometric RPGs on PC years ago I couldn't stand Wasteland 2.

As for NBA 2k16 being a PS+ game, it is/was on sale over the weekend so doesn't that kind of take it out of consideration? I thought they said something a while back about avoiding those situations so people don't feel like they got cheated.

In fact, I'd say it's more likely than not to be a PS+ game if it was recently on sale, going by recent months.

Will it automatically download onto my PS4 if I have the season pass, or do I need to specifically push buttons?

Probably not with the season pass since you usually still have to physically claim the DLC even though it shows up for 'free'.

I bought The Witcher 3 season pass, immediately claimed the two DLCs it covers, and Blood and Wine started automatically for me, but I did have to turn my ps4 on.

On another note, my ps4 has started having problems connecting to my wifi network. More than just poor connection speeds, it actually won't connect at all. I've found the solution is to change the channel of my WiFi network and it will connect again, but it's happened twice now. Is this a sign the wifi in the ps4 is getting ready to shot the bed?

I know, the wifi card in the ps4 is poo poo and I'd be better off hard wiring it... But I'd rather not have to run Ethernet through my attic from one end of my house to the other. It is TYooL 2016 after all.
