mckmas8808 - ok, I guess they really are invested in the catalogue versions of PS+. Only way I can rationalize the price increase for essential and the shit they keep including with it is that they want to kill essential. This is gross.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Damn, trying to one up Games with Gold I see.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Got powerwash sim for the Quest 3. The best way to play this 'game'.
Does the psvr2 get this for ps+?

 

[Carmen Winstead]

How the fuck do you raise your prices and offer worse games at the same time?

 

[Mossybrew]

Well, these aren't mind blowing but I will actually check out all three games on offer for once.

 

[GymWolf]

How the fuck do you raise your prices and offer worse games at the same time?

P.s. have you played pw simulator? It's by far the best powerwash simulator on the market

 

[Haint]

It's Games with Gold all over again to push people to the premium tier, I'll never resub this shit again after that price hike.

 

[scydrex]

Happy new year from Sony! Direct to the garbage.

 

[Punished Miku]

Sable is very chill, but I loved it. Ended up buying it when it left GP. The art style was one of the first I had seen that was pushing the textureless cell shade look similar to Hi-Fi Rush. OST is also by Japanese Breakfast, who is great.

Powerwash Simulator is pretty fun as well. Just a chill podcast game to play. Had some comedic DLC as well.

 

[BlueLyria]

Ultra high quality

 

[phaedrus]

 

[Badlucktroll]

those games are stupid……

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Powerwash Simulator is amazing. Such a chill game.

 

[Codes 208]

Better than last month’s at least. PWS is a good game to just mentally check-out to.

 

[Flutta]

 

[Nankatsu]

Lego seems like a fun racing game, but let me guess, tons of lego pieces and models locked behind micro transactions, no?

 

[mckmas8808]

mckmas8808 - ok, I guess they really are invested in the catalogue versions of PS+. Only way I can rationalize the price increase for essential and the shit they keep including with it is that they want to kill essential. This is gross.

Ewww.....funny that it's the same thing MS did with Games for Gold. This is nasty work by Sony. And still no VR games.

 

[NickFire]

I was too harsh. Another toy car racing game to go with Hot Wheels sounds so much better than GT7 and VR2 already purchased. And who doesn't love some good old simulated power washing?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Sable has an amazing soundtrack so give it a shot just for that. That said, i wish they would do a physical release; it would be an insta buy from me.

 

[KimDongHwan]

It's Games with Gold all over again to push people to the premium tier, I'll never resub this shit again after that price hike.

I would have loved not to pre-purchase like 2 years worth of PS Plus Premium for the same reason, now I cant "unsubscribe". I think they know how many people did the same thing so people are stuck until their subscription ends.

I had so much hope about the PS Classics, thought they were going all in given the price, bring back all the classics and third parties. But... here we are with like the fifth Worms game.

 

[LordCBH]

Lmao this month is actual garbage.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

“This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service”

 

[BennyBlanco]

 

[Interfectum]

Market Leader Sony flexing.

 

[Camreezie]

Dogshit month, actually embarassing

 

[jshackles]

I love powerwash simulator, it goes in some very unexpected directions

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Lmao what is this shit

 

[ManaByte]

Damn, trying to one up Games with Gold I see.

Lego 2K Drive is AWESOME and I almost bought it in the Black Friday Sale.

THE GAME IS DIDDY KONG RACING!

 

[Quantum253]

Except when they say "value-added benefits" they mean there's value in making executives/shareholders happy!
I might check out PS washer, but if I'm going to simulate pressure washing, I should probably just take the surface cleaner/SH mixture out and clean my driveway

 

[Punished Miku]

“This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service”

Don't forget the Gollum trial.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I almost bought it

Imagine paying a company to provide you with games you already determined are not worth buying.

 

[adamosmaki]

money well spent

 

[Mownoc]

Very nice for me! Been waiting on Lego since it launched.

 

[Ar¢tos]

My ps+ is running out in 20 days and I'm definitely not renewing!
Not for content of this "quality".

 

[onnextflix5]

Well they don’t have games with gold to compete with anymore, so yeh don’t expect much from now on. I Don’t care about these subs anymore, I just buy the games I’m interested in.

 

[CatLady]

So glad Xbox rolled Games with Gold into Game Pass Core instead of embarrassing us every month with games like these.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

They will always have cloud saves and online attached to these subs cause they know no one would have them otherwise tbh. This works for both Sony and MS (even tho i think cloud saves aren't attached to any subscription with Xbox i think?)

 

[R6Rider]

Happy Holidays LMAO

 

[Aion002]

I was one of the "lucky ones" to get the "discount" for the ps plus premium 12 month extension...

 

[JaksGhost]

2K Drive - Released May 16th, 2023 - Current PSN Price: $60 (PS4) / $70 (PS4/PS5)
Powerwash Simulator - Released January 31st, 2023 - Current PSN Price: $24.99
Sable - Released November 29th, 2022 (PS5 Only) - Current PSN Price: $24.99

 

[systemr123]

“This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service”

They are very enabled, they just won't continue to bring high-quality games. It's a choice . Have to be honest here, these are some Gamepass level games. Hopefully next month is better because this list of games is honestly pretty shameful after a 30% sub price increase.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

This is literally MS/Xbox levels of garbage.

lol, no way I'm subscribing again to this trash

 

[engstra]

Powerwash Simulator and Sable are both games I have had on my list. I think those are the types of games the service should be offering. Cool and somewhat looked over titles. The Lego game is not for me though.

 

[MAtgS]

Lego Drive was a game I was on the fence about buying so it's nice to get it as a PS+ title instead. And Power wash is pretty popular, right? Seems like a decent month to me.

 

[Shaukdotdj]

Yeah that's a terrible lineup for December. Imagine being someone who got a new PS5 for Black Friday or those opening one later this month for Christmas and this is what's on offer as your introduction to PS+ as a service.
Also still not a single psvr2 game on the service at any tier to date. I remember feeling like I needed to get a psvr1 back in the day when they started throwing vr titles into the mix. I feel there's no FOMO for psvr2 because they haven't used the same strategy to exploit the value conscious.

 

[DeepEnigma]

33% more for this shite?

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Will definitely try Sable.

 

[JaksGhost]

For the people that are dissatisfied what titles would make you think the value was there? I'm trying to see who's based in reality.

 

[adamsapple]

Sable is decent. The rest, no comment. They're not doing a good job justifying the price increase so far.
