I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
Haven't tried Yakuza 5 yet since I'm currently absorbed in Bloodborne but I loved 3 and 4. I'm honestly shocked that they actually gave out a Yakuza game, given the quality of the rest of the recent PS+ lineup. Once I'm done with Bloodborne, looks like I'll be firing up the ol' PS3 for awhile.

There's so much content in Yakuza 5, its insane, and its only like 1GB more than Yakuza 4 which is weird I don't know how they did that.

4 also had a substantial and optional "previously on..." video archive. Plus the script itself was very friendly both to a newbie to the series and to the culture. It was often strange but they explain as you go.

Like the acting, writing, gameplay, is so so so good. It's one of the funniest games I've ever played. The localisation team did an amazing job with the humour.

I am DYING for the new stuff to get localised for PS4.
Did you guys see the remake of Yakuza 1?

They give out really good PS3 games usually. If you have a PS3 you don't need PS+ to play online so they have to give away games people actually want.

The problem is my PS3 is in a box somewhere and I'm at a point in my life where hooking up another device to my TV is not worth the free game

Yep I got that from Plus too, and they put Yakuza Dead Souls on sale dirt cheap at one point so I got that too. Now the only problem is I didn't leave any disk space

The disk space problem is real. Yakuza 5 doesn't leave room on my drive for anything else.

In addition to the need-to-delete-a-ton-of-poo poo issue, for some reason also my ps3's wifi just crawls, so I'm going to have to drag out a long cat5 cable to get this downloaded :sweatdrop:

I had that too, it's probably the store more than anything. The 12Gb of Yakuza 5 took so long to download it was crazy. I think the wireless cards in playstations just sucks overall.

Yeah, the wifi just sucks balls on PS3's, you should always being using a wired connection when possible.

Wasn't it 22gb? That'd explain it taking longer than 12gb should. Or is that only in Europe?

Also even with my old baller wired internet that could download COD games in like 30 minutes, PS3 games seemed like they were capped at 1MBS or something. They take forever

even wired it takes way loving longer than anything else I've downloaded, inculding PS4 games. Probably they just go cheap on the server bandwidth for the poors or something :smith:

Oh maybe I read it wrong. I could have sworn it was 12.
Unfortunately my games setup is up in an attic that I can't really run a lan cable to. I tried one of those extenders that use your power lines but it didn't really help much for the PS4 at all, doubt it'd do much for the 3 either.

I have my 2012 MacBook right beside it and it can pull down stuff at double the speed easily :qq:

There's also the fact that a download is followed by a full decompress/install, which on its own takes a few hours for a 22 gig game after it's been fully downloaded.

If I never had PS+ with my PS3 (was stolen before that service launched iirc) but now I have a PS4 and am using the same account, is there a way to "claim" these free games without having a working PS3 setup?

I've wanted to go back for some games on disc anyways, so if Yakuza 5 is that awesome then maybe this is the month to try and find a working BC 60GB fatty.

Awesome!

You can't claim anything from past months, but can get Yakuza 5 since it's this month. Use the webstore.

PS+ game drop day the servers are always garbage, on top of the wireless being slower than usual on PS3/PS4/Vita, on top of the actual PSN servers just being bad.

I used to think it was my internet then I got better internet and it still downloads a good 90% slower than Steam frequently. It should not take 3 hours to download 1 GB (vita)
