You know it won't go away if you let it lapse? You'll just have to resubscribe to play it again. Also, it's hopefully coming to PC soon.

What's the point if you can't play Vanquish at any time?
Also Demon's Souls.

Yeah, the golden age of free games was back when Sony was a) lagging behind the 360 and looking for a quick, easy value add and b) not charging for MP. Neither of those are true any more so they've cut back.

It also helped that the free games program was started in the middle of the PS3's lifespan so they already had a large library to pick from.

The Bioshock Collection is one of the worst ports I've ever played. If you make too many different saves you will literally 'run out' of save space, you can't even overwrite a save because they get bigger the further you are in the game.

I don't know, "the longer you play it the worse it gets" sounds like they captured the spirit if the original games pretty well

Why would you use multiple saves for bioshock there aren't any choices to make?

It's a janky 10 year old game so I make lots of different saves just in case. Turned out it was a good idea because I forgot you shouldn't kill Cohen as soon as possible because you miss out on some stuff later (and a trophy).

Uhh yes Dark Souls is still good, I would say that it probably is considered by most who have played them all to be the "best" Dark Souls game (this is not to start a debate I realize people have favorites of all 3). The level design is constantly lauded and for good reason, the game definitely is a bit dated now and if you've played some of the newer ones you may sorely miss some of the fast animations but Dark Souls is still a fantastic game even to go thru for your first time. Up thru O&S it's some of the best of that style gaming ever made, it kind of plateaus there and doesn't finish as strongly but it's worth completing for sure.

So I had a few € on my account and got the season pass for Alienation because I'm enjoying the game a lot but I don't see the actual content (weapons, armor colors and such) activated, is it a bug or something? I'm playing a map right now and see if a level up unfucks this.

I played DS1,2,3 basically back to back on PC and 3 might have been my favourite. If you have a co-op buddy it's super easy to co-op since it has a password system that just scales the co-op person down so they can join you regardless of level.

Ps plus games are trash tier junk that regularly goes on sale on steam for like 5 bucks. Do your friends constantly mock you for playing weird, lovely games on your ps4 cuz lol at the tone of your post

Yeah, it's been a while since I bothered with any of the PS+ games that were on offer.

It tends to be a mixture of garbage I don't want and the aforementioned cheapo games I already bought on PSN/STEAM sales if I was even vaguely interested in them.

3 is great. Just played it for a second time with all the DLC and it my favorite one by a long shot unless you count Bloodborne. The series has barely changed since Demons Souls aside from some minor QOL improvements and much better graphics and combat. They haven't become trivially easy after getting successful if that's what you mean.

Really, the only reason arguments over which souls is best get so irate is that the differences between them are so minor. All of them are basically the same game and all of them are good.

Guess this makes us lovely gamers eh? I think adults would refer to this as "valuing your free time"

I thought it might be the opposite, that they have become too hard after all mainstream reviews talked up the difficulty.

They've stayed pretty consistent. I'd say 2 and 3 start off slightly easier than the rest but ramp up where 1 and BB and DS1 throw you against a brick wall at the beginning. After a bit they are all about the same.

Scorps
Feb 24, 2008

Oh, lighten up Mr. Dooms-and-Gloom, "embezzle" is metal.
I think that the base game of 3 is possibly the "easiest" of the 3 but it's just because you can be a little more aggressive without punishment if you do it right. I played 3 for the first Souls game ever (I imagine to most people the first one they play would be the "hardest" until they learn some of the formula for success) and I still think 3 is the easiest after completing all of them. Part of it is just how easy it is to link rolls together in 3, it's much more fluid and you can get away with a lot by dodging constantly.

I haven't beaten any of the DLC for 3 but I have heard that it is good and adds a couple of extremely difficult bosses.
