Journey would be ok, but it would need to come with something a bit more meaty. I guess people enjoy it, but even then it is going to be a very short ride.

Playstation Plus Thread 2: How do I hold all these games?

Knack will never not be desired. Even better will be the meltdowns from people who will miss redeeming it.

I hope we never get Knack so we can get monthly reminders of who has terrible taste on gaf.
Kinda hard to play Journey without a PS3.
That's true. Maybe they'll go the Xbox route and keep it on for a second month after, just to make sure people got it.

Because they said that the games will be announced the last wednesday of the month and will become avaliable the first tuesday of the next.

Maybe now that PS4 has a larger library they'll re-institute the semi-permanent IGC games.
As far as I know, Journey hasn't been on sale ever since I got my PS3 (June 2014), and that's what I've been waiting for. Even though I'm dying to play it, I really don't feel like paying $15 for it unless it's guaranteed the price will never go down. I've waited so much now, what difference does a few more months make?

They'll never stop whining. If it's not indies, it'll be something else.
Too many AAA games will be the next thing. Bring back indies!

At least if it is whining about Knack, I can get onboard.
And Journey has been on sale quite a few times, so no excuse not to have picked it up.
I mean come on, article was posted on Aug 26, 2013.
As far as Journey goes, for me it's another game I have, but I would love to get more people to experience it.
If it's AAA then people will complain that it's not game xyz they want or that the game is too old or that they already onw it or that it's not AAA enough.
Yup, they could give away TW3 and Bloodborne and you'd still see people complaining here.
Well yeah...of course we would. People would be pissed because they've just come out and people have paid for them.
Yeah pretty much. Fact of the matter is if it's not a brand spanking new release that's critically acclaimed like The Witcher 3 or Fallout 4 given out at it's release, there will always be whiners.
Even then people will find something wrong.

Then everyone that spend $60 on that game will be furious. That would be the point of contention. I think everyone under the sun understands that though, which is why new titles that make it to PS+ do so at that titles launch, to prevent that from occurirng.

Doubt it, It just came out the end of last year.
Probably Knack and something else.
You don't see a problem with putting a game on PS+ that has literally just been released?

I'm ok with this.
Two things hold me buying this are fps and camera so i think i should wait for plus
I meant those kind of games free at release in another crazy dimension lol.
But yeah that's the point.
There is no way PS+ can ever not have any loud whiners.
And that's ok to be fair. Can't make everyone happy, esp in the world of video games.

Don't think you'll see big EA games in PS+ anytime soon.
I can't wait for the hyperbole to come crashing down on a new set of players of Journey.
Journey is a solid game, it's very pretty but the way the titles been deified by some players as this life-changing experience where they broke down in tears as the game revealed they were playing alongside "xxxNOSCOPEKUSHxxx" through the whole game is not totally accurate for everyone. It was worth the £12 and not a penny more.
Obviously, it's everyone's opinion but I advise new players to keep their expectations in check.
That was a whole 10 months before I bought my own PS3
I wish the game was on sale again. I'd be all over it at $5.
I think not owning the console at the time is a good enough excuse.

Hope not. It would just be a kick in the balls for long term subscribers like myself.

Few hours till they reveal?

Normally it's in the next hour
Hahaha could you even see PSN ID's in that game?
I believe they only popped up during the credits as to who was your companion.
And compared to a lot of the AAA/indie stuff that tries to go for the heart strings, Journey had way more soul and emotion in comparison.
Its a £15 experience at best imo, due to the length of the game.

Can't argue that point. I find after over a year and a half of near total indie focus I'm pretty burned out on them. Having some big polished AAA games is a welcomed break from the monotony. Nothing wrong with voicing a want for the bigger experience. Nobody would get upset at someone wanting the fine dining experience after eating at family restaurants month after month.

No, but that's also nothing like comparing indie games to AAA games. A better example would be comparing a family run local restaurant to a national franchise.
I really don't get how you can get 'burned out' on something based purely on the number of people that made it.
That's the problem: indie doesn't mean that it's inferior to AAA. Indie doesn't mean shit when it comes to game's quality or genre.
And it shows when something like Rayman Legends would be welcomed while something like Velocity 2X wouldn't.
Shame on you Journey, for not being the universal experience that elevates the human psyche to a unified state of consciousness.
Ass Creed is fast food. Journey is fine dining.

Man, the word "indie" is getting annoying. I hate how it's treated a dirty word implying a game is lesser. A video game is a video game no matter the development process. Deal with it.
just quoting for embarassment sakes
and im thinking n++ will be one ,quote me on that
