worst month in the 13 months ive been a subscriber.
I'm not usually one to complain about Plus offerings, but this is not a good month for me.

they got me used to getting good stuff every month, PS4 offers are a polar opposite and it actually is getting worse, should be other way around I think
if I didn't get this year's games I wouldn't even notice that I'm missing something

I will give them credit for one thing only: They said it was an ecletic month and they nailed it.
Also a month where many people are going out on holidays and they give out 5 games for the Vita. If they did it on purpose, kudos to them.
Negative interest in shooters, doubly so for multiplayer, not even gonna download it.

Terrible, terrible month.
How does Crysis 3 run? I'm expecting 15 or so FPS.Am I right?

And the sony guys went on to hype on twitter? I can understand the kind of games we are getting for ps4 but for ps3?
Seems like the days of saints row 3 and bf3 and other great games are gone

I've become desensitized to having a huge backlog because of PS Plus...

Five? So all but Crysis are cross buy?
Man I really need to stop buying games on sale. Would have been nice to have hated Fez without wasting money on it.
Guess you better get a Vita.

Only Proteus and FEZ it seems.
You know PS Vita is the best served platform on PS+ due to cross buy, right?
Road Not Taken is too
Edit: but apparently Vita version won't be immediatly available

Old game that has been in a million bundles. I doubt it was hard getting that on PS+ IGC, simple filler for the list, nothing more.
Well, it was supposed to be cross-buy at some point

Cross buy isn't mentioned in that post though.

Just stop with the Lego games. They are rushed, shitty 3DS ports. I'll give Road Not Taken a chance and I've never played Fez (but I'll probably play that on my Vita). Not heard of Metrico but I'll download it and see if it's any good.
I can't believe Proteus is in there though. That 'game' is awful. I know it's about exploration and I was all for giving it a shot but my word is it dull.

I'm definitely not an "indie-hater" but Proteus is a game that is interesting for maybe 15 minutes, and that's it. The price that is normally charged for that game is absurd.
EDIT: Also, another curve studio game. Buying any of their games seems like a really stupid decision at this point.

I'm adopting a never buy any vita games policy. Every game i've ever paid money for has wound up on PS+. Bought Muramasa on sale for $6 or something and it was free the next month.
I've had mine for a year now and the only thing I've paid money for was Muramasa full price for $25. But it was for my wife, so that's okay.
Yeah, honestly Sony got me real good with the vita (or maybe I got them real good). I got mine in the AC bundle and I haven't bought a single game for it since then lol. And yet somehow through PS+ alone it's became my most played non-PC gaming device in that time. Feels like they give away 90% of the best vita games, about the only games I feel like I need to buy for it are some of the more niche Japanese games.

The only two hames I have bought for it this year are FFX HD and DW8 which I got on a deal of the week. I get the rest from PS+ and when games are cross buy from PS3/4 PS+. I only buy games that I am sure won't be free (or at least free for a good while) and PS1/PSP games.

Even worse than expected.
I'm really regreating about buying an entire year of PSN+. If I could, I would cancel the subscription right now... But I will only loose the money I've paid.
It's a shame how good it was and how bad is becoming

There's usually only one, maybe two, games a month I'll actually play and enjoy. But for $30 a year, that's still an amazing deal in my eyes.

Pretty weak month for me (N America) but I would be excited for Fez and Dragon's Crown if I didn't have them. Fez especially was a modern masterpiece to me, absolutely fell in love with it. It's much more of a puzzle game than platformer (especially considering
). Also, don't be deterred if you heard about "crazy obtuse puzzles," it's entirely possible, and a lot more fun, to 100% the game without walkthroughs. The only really crazy stuff is a small handful of optional post-postgame content.
Crysis 3 will probably be like Dead Space 3: a bigger release I never picked up because it wasn't that appealing. It will be okay for a few hours until I remember why I didn't buy it before. Watched trailers for Road Not Taken and Metrico but have no idea what they are about. Proteus will be a fun, small game for a few hours.
Considering the PS4 offers, I'm starting to question pre-ordering Rogue Legacy. It's been an absolute blast so far, but if it's free in a couple months... oh well.
in NG+ you can fly

30?? More like 50
I bought it at 40 but, at least for that half year, Strider doesn't worth these 20
The PS3 games it's normal to become worse because there are no major releases now, but the PS4 lineup for PSN+ is terrible.
Last year PSN+ offered good games every month for less than 4/month.
Now PSN+ is only for online gaming plus a free games that you could buy in some humble bundle for less than 1... But you don't buy them because doesn't even interest you
I am pretty happy with the choices this month, Dragon's Crown, Metrico and Road Not Taken being the ones I'm looking forward to, with a passing interest in Crysis 3. But the Fez inclusion really dampens things. It's a great game, and I'm glad more will play it, but if you buy a game and then two months later it's on PS+, it really sours wanting to buy future download-only games.

I've found this years offerings to be SOOOO much more better than last. And we are getting more stuff all around if your invested in all the Sony systems.

They aren't going to put fucking full retail games on PS+ for a console that's still kinda new. Deal with it.
I bet Sony are wishing they didn't launch the IGC with PS4 and instead waited like they did with Vita. Nothing but "INDIE TRASH WAAAHHHH" complainers.

Yeah, this is the big catch-22 with PS+. You feel like you hit the jackpot when the announced games are ones you wanted but never bought, then you feel like a sucker when you already have everything that interests you. I loved Fez so much I'm still happy to have bought it, but the PS4 offers especially need to focus more on (1) launch retail releases and (2) day-of-release titles like Outlast, Don't Starve, and Road Not Taken. Both options will help reduce buyer's remorse.

So we will get both version of Dragon's Crown huh?
Q: Dragon’s Crown isn’t cross-buy
A: You’re correct, it isn’t cross-buy, but I’ve been told Plus members will receive both versions. ^_^
Q: Please tell me we get Fez for PS3 and Vita as well.
A: You do
Q: People really? They are obviously typos because Crysis 3 is only on PS3 and Dragons Crown isn’t Cross buy. Use some sense.
A: Crysis 3 was a formatting issue, but Plus users will receive both the PS3 and PS Vita versions of Dragon’s Crown

I'm already so disapointed with PS Plus.
Suscribed in March, it was awesome! I had Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Tomb Raider, Payday 2, Xcom, Stealth Inc., Remember Me, and then Batman AC. Even some games I already had, but it was great to share with a friend some of them knowing I have it in my account.
But ever since then is just excitement to see what is coming and.. it's fucking nothing. Quality is so low, I can't believe it.
