PlayStation Plus Thread: Plus What? PLUS EVERYTHING!

Are you referring to golds? Most aren't like that.

Some are. Vanquish has a gold trophy for finishing it on hard. Normal is just a silver. Still, for most games completing it is enough for a gold. I've earned most of mine through regular play.

Damn... I've been gaming for nearly 20 years... played several games competitively, but I just don't really care to get platinum trophies like that.

I get so close then I usually just don't care anymore.

I'm like that myself, though I do go for a trophy if the challenge level is reasonable and I truly love the game (hence one of my few platinums in Arkham Asylum).

BTW, that PSN Profiles is an interesting site! I'd never seen it, and now I think I'll waste ten minutes perusing it!

Yeah, no trophy for beating it on God Hard unfortunately.
 
Just wasted last fifteen minutes playing around with that PSN Profiles site. Suspect it's going to become something of an addiction.

Checking my stats I've only got 15 golds and 0 platinum despite being level 11. Would blame that slightly on switching from 360 to PS3 a couple of years ago and that my girlfriend insists on having her own profile and trophy hoarding (she does have at least one platinum).

Go get Wonderbook Book of Spells, just play through the game (5-6 hours) and get an instant Platinum :)

Ha! I might be tempted to stoop that low if I didn't know that it'd get attached to her profile instead. I blame it mainly on the cheap availability of second hand games and the subsequent arrival of plus. The temptation to move to something new rather than revisiting a game to tick off trophies is too great.

Having said that, I may actually platinum Sleeping Dogs if I can keep it on my hd long enough.

This is my issue too, I have too many games currently to work my way through to consider getting platinums. I went back over Uncharted 2 for one, but other games I just play through and get what I get along the way. I did want to get the Plat for Ni No Kuni, but the post game grind for familiars and ingrediants is putting me off. I've completed all quests
(including the final final boss battle and received the Philmobile)
the only one I am missing that I could have gotten through my play through was one of Derwins go capture some familiars for me quests. I've had no luck on drops so gave up!
 
I never bother with trophies either, which is odd because I used to go nuts on Achievements (I think I'm at 79,500 on 360). I just looked and I have like 5 Golds and 1 Platinum (Walking Dead).

I guess it's probably the ease of looking at them on the 360, it's a few simple button presses and the list snaps up to view. Or anytime you get one it's instantaneous and you can hit the Guide button to read the description. On PS3 there seems to be some strange lag when it comes to the notification, and you have to go to a seperate app to see what the actual trophy was for.
 
Yeah I think the awkwardness of accessing the trophies via the actual PS3 helps dulls the hunger. Years of churning through them on the 360 before it also probably reduces the desire to build up a tally again.

Mainly though I do think it's the grinding nature of them that puts me off really going for it; when faced with the choice of visiting something for the first time or replaying the same bit of game for the 100% I know which one I'll always go for, especially when I'm getting new games to try every month with Plus.
 
The new addition is
Persona 4 Arena! Heheheh I kill me
...but isn't Uncharted 3 multiplayer already planned to be free?

maybe.. but the EU blog hasn´t written about it yet.. so changes are HIGH that it´s U3 MP that is the .. no scratch that.. they said ADDITION to the IGC..
 
I think it'll be a God of War in some fashion (Collection or otherwise). Huge promotional push for Ascension.

maybe its a mini game..? like "God of Angry birds war"..

God of War is a good guess.. strange that they haven´t released any God of War games for free with Plus, now that Ascension is coming.
 
If Uncharted 3 MP is going f2p, I imagine it'll go f2p for everyone and not just PS+.

So... wow, I have no idea what it could be. Maybe it could be NGS+ since NGS2+ is out soon?
 
When this will be updated? I want to see the whole Gamers Choice Awards discount thing. :P

What if we played the Multiplayer already? Would we need to buy that level cap unlock as well?
 
I play games but I never bother to earn trophies, if I get a trophy for how I play fine but I don't honestly care, I've also had a 360 off and on since launch and my gamerscore is only 8k

I don't even average 3 posts a day on GAF according to my profile so it's not like I live on here or post a ton

Even if you don't actively seek out trophies, it's really weird to have played 136 games and only getting 5 gold trophies. A lot of games have gold trophies just for doing story stuff. :P

I think the winners will be announced on the blog before the update.
Though expect Grace Chen to mess up the tallying =V.
 
Hey guys, I just bought a Vita. My PS3 is banned from PSN but Plus even for the Vita alone sounds like too good of a deal to pass up. If I buy a Plus card and activate it before March 4, do I get the three bonus months, or do I have to buy my pass online through Sony to get the bonus?

I would be happy with a GoW game, I don't have any experience with that series at all, and I have no interest in Ascension. Sony, if you're listening~ ;)

I don't think it will be though, I would be (pleasantly) surprised if it was a game from a major series. Not sure what to expect, and that's quite nice!

PSN March savings: Get $10 back in April for EVERY $50 you spend starting later today through March: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/02/26/psn-march-savings-get-10-for-every-50-spent/

This deal is great but I only want to renew my PS+ subscription and it's 49.99$, not 50$ :/
Goddammit !

EDIT: They said in the article that you can buy a PS+ 12 months membership and get the cash back, but someone in the comments says that he was missing 1 cent on a similar offer and he didn't get the cash back.
As I thought it would be.
 
Apologies. I haven't gotten a Vita yet and didn't even consider that aspect. It just seems like people complain a lot about a service that really delivers more than it costs, in my opinion. Didn't mean to direct it specifically at you.

Oh no problem!

But I have one more question: Isn't it fraud to use network account from the region that you don't live? I mean it, we have to put our addresses there, so, we have to lie... right?
 
If you buy a 50 cent item with a new sub you get $10 back? Shit, AND you get the bonus 3 months through March 4!

Yes, and I also got the 10$ credit from PSN.
But I currently have 30.03$ in my wallet. If I want to buy a 0.50$ item, I need to add 25$ in my wallet using Paypal (if it works, since I'm outside US). I can't add a custom amount :/
 
So no free PS3 game this week thanks to a free PS Vita game? The value of PS+ for non-Vita US customers is seriously eroding.
Fuck the Vita.

I have PS+ just for my Vita, I don't own a PS3 ...... but you don't hear us bitching about only getting PS3 games ..... I know the last 2 weeks of the month are usually for PS Vita games or games you can play on both ..... I'm happy with my 1 Vita game a month, still well worth the $50 PS+ price

You say fraud, I say brightening the lives of some British McDonald's employees by putting their store on SCEE's mailing list. *shrug*

Cool, I guess I am buying Bio Shock Infinite and Gow: Ascension from the store (I was debating it but for $50 day 1 how could I refuse?! That's old NewEgg shit right there. And I'm getting 15 months of ps plus for $30 through the cash back PSN gave me through the announcement and this offer ($30 bucks is what they deserve for the service being so unbalanced at times). So $130 bucks for two retail games and 15 months of plus (I think I'm covered well into the second year of ps4). SONY WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD TO ME!!!

Hahah I'm not against it, since all my online accounts are from countries that I don't live =P
I'm just curious, because you know, here we aren't very strict when it comes to... law, so, I'm asking if people from other countries that usually are more strict think that way.

I mean it, for us is only natural since it didn't have Live BR when I bought my X360, BR PSN when I bought my PS3, we don't have Nintendo Network now... so...

Also, there are cases like 3DS eshop that a regular title is 39.90 dolars in US and CND and in BR eshop it costs 75 dolars. So... i don't have to tell you which account I have, do I?
 
Could be one of the God of War Collections?

Would make sense as one of them is remote play compatible too? Not that it means anything, but a nice way to tease the feature for the PS4's release.
