Now that online is behind a paywall they'll have more subscribers and more money to spend on even better games!

As a Canadian the price jump hurts even more. ;_;
Guess starting June of next year, that'll be it for me. Unless I stock up on PS+ cards from eBay or something.

If only... If Sony were smart, they would put some fairly recent AAA games as Plus titles on PS4 for September to convince everyone that "Hey, look, we're increasing the price, but you're also getting better value!". Even if they do backtrack a few months later and go back to giving indie games for free. Not that it's a bad thing, but you can't argue that AAA games are generally perceived to have better value.

Please, no. One of the worst games I've ever played.
I already own it too, and I kinda agree even if I liked it a bit for some things, but what is the alternative? FFXIII games?

You mean to promote FFXV? I'd go with FFX remaster, I am Setsuna (too recent, I know it's not gonna happen), FF7 or FF9 (PS3, PSOne Classics), FFT War of the Lions (PSP/Vita)... all infinitely better choices. Hell I hate FF8 with the fury of a thousand suns and I'd probably prefer that over Type 0 LOL...I already own it too, and I kinda agree even if I liked it a bit for some things, but what is the alternative?

Oh, I forgot FFX is on PS4 too. Yeah, maybe they will give that. For the other games you listed, they are too old, I doubt someone would play a PS1 title. Yes, there's the PS4 version of FFVII, but I think that will be given away when VIIR hits.

Why the fuck would they give VII away when VIIR comes out? It's a good thing you don't work in games publishing.
I assume they would have posted about it on the EU Sony blog somewhere?

I think the point of the question is that you're not supposed to be able to find out the exact number. It's a tie-breaker, closest guess wins, right?

I'm so disapointed, I just can't hide it!

I imagine someone at Sony is hurriedly scrabbling around looking for games under the carpet or something because they just accidentally put all the nailed-on Future Plus games on sale in NA.

In an hour or two, if it follows the semi-regular pattern.

I heard completely out of nowhere made up rumours that there will be AAA games this month.
If there was any month to bust out the big guns, this would be it. Even if they have no intention of keeping it up they could use an initial showing of goodwill.

Nah, just because Sony bumped up the Plus subscription price.

Just like they did a year after PS4 came out and everyone who got a subscription at launch was about to have theirs run out "Here's Injustice Ultimate edition and Infamous First Light!" then immediately back to lower budget titles.

Nice I finally get to play Journey.

Journey, great, more indie shit.
I'm pretty happy since this is a good reason to play Journey for the first time. I heard Lords of the Fallen is pretty mediocre, but it's worth a shot being free. Never played the PoP game either.
Datura seems more like an "experience" than anything else. An experience about a poisonous plant that causes intense delirium if it doesn't kill you apparently. Idk if it's going to be all that engaging without PS Move

Now the true test begins. Wish me luck, guys. So far so still unsubscribed. Let's see how my willpower holds.

Wow, never played Journey so this is great for me. Lords of the Fallen is worth a shot for free. I don't know anything about Badland but hopefully it surprises.
Another good month. I really don't know what people expect anymore.

Sorry, you can't fool the subscription system by manipulating your PS4.
I could've sworn you had 30 days or so to verify the validity of your ps+ sub.

The system is most likely designed in the opposite way. Licenses will automatically expire unless you can connect to the PSN and verify that you have an active subscription.

I imagine licenses will be set to expire on a specific date whether you're online or not, and if you manipulate the date on your PS4 then nothing will work unless you go online to re-confirm the licenses.
I doubt it's easy to trick the system.

I'm very late with this, but Rebel Galaxy is a lot of fun. It starts slow but once you get some ship upgrades and the hang of the combat, it's simple but good.
And this game goes great with the Spotify app. Nothing like flying a spaceship with 2112 or Cygnus-X1 playing in the background (the game's ST is good but it gets repetitive after a while).

I'm also late to this but you're right in everything you say. Good little game, simple for sure but great for those times when you don't really want to think too much and are happy to cruise around with whatever your music of choice may be.
Amazing really that a a two man studio [with a little out sourcing] can produce such a polished little gem. Well done Double Damage games!
Kind of liking Zombi as well from way back in the April PS+ line up, though I'm not far enough into it to really comment. Weirdly, I'm getting Souls-lite vibes from it with the having to get back to where you died to get your kit back elements as well as opening up short cuts back into key areas as you play.
So far so good. Muddy as hell but I kind of dig the subdued, paired back look, it feels like it fits the ethos of the game to a tee.
