Playstation Plus Thread 2: How do I hold all these games?
- Thread starter Canis lupus
- Start date
Just tried Proteus on my Vita. Loved the look but yeah, this is definitely not for me.
Question for those who are enjoying it though - How much would you have been prepared to pay for it? It's £10 here in the UK if you don't have Plus, which just seems way overpriced to me for what it is.

Re: Proteus.
I'm an arty kind of person, so I appreciate that someone attempts to create a "game" like Proteus. In the end, though, I didn't think there was enough to explore and I didn't think the art was enough to carry it.
More watercolour doodle than Rembrandt masterpiece, IMO, but I appreciate the attempt.

Damn it, I should pay more attention to those sales blog posts. I only read the PS4 ps+ august offerings post and bought Octodad a few days before it went half price now 
At least I noticed just in time that Ground Zeroes is also down to 15... I ordered it today via amazon and barely managed to cancel it :lol
I was saved by randomly scrolling through the PS4's What's New feed... I guess those little advertisements have their uses... I'm feeling like a dirty uninformed casual gamer

That's a good idea. Though I would wonder how that'd work. They couldn't let people have access to all of the games that had previously been on PS+ over the years or some people would just wait or let their PS+ accounts lapse or something before subscribing again at some point. It would be kind of cool if they had some kind of Vault thing where if you wanted you could pass on one or more of the month's offerings and unlock something from the past that you weren't around to claim instead.
I've been subscribed since pretty much the year they started so it wouldn't be a big deal for me. But great for those who are LTTP.
EDIT: I guess I kinda misread that. I kinda wouldn't want that if it took up a slot for a new game we haven't gotten yet. But if they just had like one slot extra to put old offerings every month that people who didn't claim those could grab, that'd be nice.

I am thinking I might start Crysis 3 tomorrow, how does it compare to the second game? I thought Crysis 2 was pretty good but felt like it went too long. If it's something I can whip through in 6 hours or so I'll probably go for it.
Nah, it doesn't. I don't think Wrong Number is going to have it either, AFAIK.

I REALLY hope there is a seperate trophy list for the PS4 version. Would be soooooo nice and so much fun.
So since this month is in full swing this won't be a plus game/ take up a slot for next month? It will just show up in the next three updates and we can just play it for free?

When it launches, if you hav le it on PS3/V, you will get it free on PS4.
I'm probably in the minority, but i really like Metrico so far. It has some fun puzzles and i like the whole idea of playing with bars and graphs.
Also, i "played" Proteus yesterday and had one playthrough. It's something different for sure, not really a game, but more like a tech demo minus the tech lol. I wouldn't really call it a bad PS+ title either, because i'm actually glad i got it for free through PS+ instead of paying for it.
On the PS4 i tried FEZ, which i played for the first time and i really like it so far. Will definitely continue playing it. Not sure about Road not Taken, though. I really like the art style, but i wasn't really hooked to the gameplay. Maybe i have to play it more.
Other than that it was another good month for me. Not great, but good.

Untrue, but GAFhivemind
What hivemind? I'm playing it now and it's terrible.
I played an hour of Crysis 2 from the EA humble bundle and that was awful enough to know that I shouldn't even waste the bandwidth downloading this game.
Played a ton of Dragon's Crown co-op with the wife all weekend, soooo much fun. We'll be at this one for a while!

The mechanics can be fine with the game still being bad, though. Level/mission design, enemy AI, etc. Tomb Raider (2013) is a good example of a game that's competently programmed with fluid mechanics that is just a completely vapid gameplay experience.
Note: I didn't play Crysis 3, I'm just speaking generally.

Not on Europe, unfortunately...
Hotline Miami was in EU PS+ already.
Unfortunately the german version is borked. No way to install the game. Always poping up an PSN errorcode. At least this is how it was a month ago. Don't know i f they have fixed it yet.

April 2014.
I wasn't talking about Hotline Miami. I meant Dragon's Crown.
Americans are claiming they got the Vita AND PS3 versions. In EU we only got the Vita version.
Me playing Fez
I just keep entering to doors and reaching new areas while getting cubes.
Really? Fez is a great game and not hard to understand at all.
Pay attention to the areas thumbnail images while standing at a door, and check the map with Select.
I think he means that the map is huge and many doors seemingly enter a new "world" rather than a tiny room as in the intro level.
Really wanted to love Road Not Taken for the awesome artstyle but man that game is just not doing it for me. I really think they made a mistake with the whole energy thing. Personally, I feel they should have made the combos more integral to the core gameplay than energy. The energy just introduces frustration.

Proteus is crap. There's nothing there. It looks cool though.
Journey does the art game much better.

Me too. I thought it was going to be a good month.
Dragon's Crown is not really my thing. Crysis 3 is borderline unplayable. Fez quickly lost its charm with a poor map/navigation system and some overly complicated puzzles. Proteus is pretty much just a relaxation tool.
US or EU?
I think it'd be weird for them to give us AC4 in the US without first giving us AC3. Not that I would mind given I dislike everything about AC3, but, yeah.
They also seem to have a habit of giving us big games months after they come to EU+. I am actually surprised we haven't had AC3 yet.

They already gave out Assassin's Creed 3 last year for plus in September.
As far Black Flag for this year I bet they'll probably give out the PS3 version for free on PSN+ and probably do a PSN+ sale for the PS4 version.
edit: Forgot it was a Euro only thing.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Still waiting on Far Cry 3 to come to US +

Man, Metrico is such a video game. I was literally spinning my Vita around upside down and trying to play at the same time.

Dragon's Crown is awesome. Been playing it both on PS3 and Vita.
My only complaint is that there can be significant slowdown on the Vita version when shit hits the fan. Also half the time I can't tell what the hell is happening.
Really fun though.

Yeah I've been playing the hell out of the game, it's not what I expected at all going in. Looks like an innocent brawler on the outset but it's far closer to an action rpg all things considered. Especially late game when you start worrying about loot and setting up different gear sets and making sure your character is specced correctly. The endless dungeon is awesome.
I kinda just flopped back and forth between the two versions myself. I hate the controls on the ps3 version (using runes suck and the cooking game is annoying on controller) but the camera seems more zoomed out or something on the vita version which I don't like at all (and like you say the framerate goes to crap when there is a lot of action on the vita).

After I accepted that Crysis 3 was the main PS3 game this month, I downloaded it and played it. It didn't bored me that much as when I played the first time, but the MP is what I liked a lot.
There's not too many people playing it, and will surely die quick, so if you wanna give it a try, do it now!
