[pokel122]

so... no new classic games at all?
Premium on another shitty month i guess.
Miss the insane amount of games ps now had, way better than premium.

 

[R6Rider]

Bugsnax lives on.

 

[jaysius]

Bugsnax?!?!

That was "free" to PS+ subs on LAUNCH of the PS5, I know it was ONLY the PS5 version, I guess that was the game all that time only "giving" PS5 versions NOT PS4 versions, now they can give BOTH and pretend like it's something new.

Uno and Monopoly games??? ROFL!!!

 

[skit_data]

They need to step up their game on the Classics side because right now it's a pretty big disappointment.

 

[ManaByte]

We've had what? 1 or 2 games added to classics since launch?

 

[legacy24]

weak sauce

 

[adamsapple]

Fuck yeah Monopoly Madness !

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Awesome list full of AAA. I know all these titles. Trials of Mana and Metro Exodus are a big get.

PS+ the best deal in gaming.

 

[ManaByte]

Does the PS4 Uno support the camera?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Awesome list full of AAA. I know all these titles. Trials of Mana and Metro Exodus are a big get.

PS+ the best deal in gaming.

And it's not even close.

 

[R6Rider]

How is Trials of Mana?

Almost bought it for my Switch, but decided against it at launch.

 

[Punished Miku]

They didn't list in the OP but Premium tier is undergoing a name change this month to Non-Essential Tier.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

See? Arent sub plans great? Looking at your post history, you ragged on Game Pass in the past. Now that PS+ games are ramping up you suddenly love sub plans.

[Fbh]

Meh month to be honest. But base Ps+ was fantastic so not complaining.

Bugsnax?!?!

That was "free" to PS+ subs on LAUNCH of the PS5, I know it was ONLY the PS5 version, I guess that was the game all that time only "giving" PS5 versions NOT PS4 versions, now they can give BOTH and pretend like it's something new.

Uno and Monopoly games??? ROFL!!!

Regular ps+ games can only be claimed during the month they are free. Meaning that anyone who didn't own a Ps5 during its launch month, which at this point is the vast majority of Ps5 owners, didn't get "free" access to it

 

[Magic Carpet]

I was just complaining how Ghost Recon keeps showing up on the xbox Gold thread. And here it is again.
Is this game really that good that it has to be everywhere? Gold, Plus, Gamepass, Extra, Epic Store.
I need tongs to remove Ghost Recon from it being jammed down my throat everwhere all the time, last year too.
Ghost REEEeeeecon

 

[drganon]

How is Trials of Mana?

Almost bought it for my Switch, but decided against it at launch.

I assume we're talking about the remake. It's a really fun action jrpg. I platinumed it a while back.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

See? Arent sub plans great?

I never said otherwise. I'm subscribed to PS+ since the beginning. I have many games on Vita and PS3. That sub was always great.

 

[TGO]

Well that's just pathetic

 

[R6Rider]

I assume we're talking about the remake. It's a really fun action jrpg. I platinumed it a while back.

Yup, the remake.

 

[Banjo64]

Well that's just pathetic

 

[DeepEnigma]

Where are the classics for the tier I don't sub to?

 

[ManaByte]

Yup, the remake.

Square never released the 2D Trials of Mana outside of the Switch collection.

 

[Chukhopops]

Trials of Mana is pretty great especially if you've played the original SNES game.

Bugsnax is terrible honestly. Not even worth a download.

 

[Captain Toad]

Trials of Mana is a good get. But, why the hell are they ignoring PS1, PS2 and PSP.

It's like they're going out of their way to sell the cheaper Extra Tier and convincing people not to get Premium.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Trials of Mana is pretty great especially if you've played the original SNES game.

Bugsnax is terrible honestly. Not even worth a download.

Wrong, Bugsnax is legit a nice little game.

[Hugare]

Laughed pretty hard at Uno and Monopoly

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Are they expecting the Premium's biggest thing to be trials or something? lmao

I don't get them...Extra is by far the best value. If i didn't have Premium until late next year i'd be subscribed to Extra only tbh.

 

[anthony2690]

Isn't bugsnaxx already on the service? I thought it came out for free near the launch off the ps5 (I could be wrong though)

& More people will get to experience Yakuza with minimal entree fee, I hope the series gains more fans

 

[adamsapple]

t. Gamepass connoisseur

Bugsnax is a perfect sub service game if we're being real.

 

[MikeM]

And it's not even close.

I have both and both are great values for what you pay for

 

[Magic Carpet]

Uno and Monopoly should stay on the service permenantly. I'm suprised that Consoles don't champion more simple games like, Reversai, Checkers, Chess, Backgammon, Cards of all kinds. old school board games that you can just online hookup with anyone anywhere around the world and play at anytime.

 

[Bragr]

The lack of new stuff feels cheap compared to Game Pass.

And it looks like they are on the same train Nintendo is on when it comes to classic titles, taking forever to get anything decent.

Googling it, Bugsnax was free for PS5 at launch for a month or two. And thats it.

There we go then!

 

[LectureMaster]

Metro Exodus is great value.

 

[solidus12]

Might not renew my premium subscription since it's a joke.
The classics game list is abysmal, where are the PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 games?

 

[Chukhopops]

Wrong, Bugsnax is legit a nice little game.

t. Gamepass connoisseur

I tried it on GP, wanted to like it but hated it because of the capture gameplay and the dialogue bored me to death.

I guess if you have the sub you only have some bandwidth to lose.

 

[casablanca]

Rubbish list but kinda happy with Mana, it looks awful but I'm nostalgic.
I'll give it a try.

 

[Jormatar]

PS Plus Essential and Extra have been killing it since the release.

 

[ReBurn]

The good news is I still have quite a bit of stuff from initial launch of the new tiers to play through.

It was on PS+ for a month at launch. But like all, PS+ Essential games, if you weren't around to claim them that month, they're gone.

 

[anthony2690]

Awesome list full of AAA. I know all these titles. Trials of Mana and Metro Exodus are a big get.

PS+ the best deal in gaming.

A trial of metro exodus is a big get.... okay then.
On the plus side if you decide you'd like the own it and playthrough the game, it frequently drops to £8 with all expansions every other week.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Outside of Premium, this new PS+ has hit the ground running and is good value. The games Sony have added makes it excellent value without them taking a financial hit by including their own games on day one. I'm not a fan of subscriptions, but Sony has hit the sweet spot with extra.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Where does it say it's a trial? Trials of Mana is the game title.

 

[StormCell]

On the plus side if you decide you'd like the own it and playthrough the game, it frequently drops to £8 with all expansions every other week.

Is it a trial or is it the full game? It reads as though it's the full game, and if I'm not mistaken this game has already dropped to below $15 on sale before... I bought it for like $12 months ago.

Also, GAF, isn't Wildlands supposed to be a really good game? Kind of having trouble getting into it. The driving feels subpar, and the missions are all kinda bland so far.

 

[Captain Toad]

Well, that's an issue with these rental services. I see people freaking out all the time, that a huge 100 hour game becomes available with their service.

Yet, they are paying $15 a month and that game could easily take a month to finish and is frequently on sale for as low as $5 - to keep. They just never bothered buying it, because it wasn't worth even that $5 to them, but now that they've already paid, it seems like a great deal.

 

[R6Rider]

Also, GAF, isn't Wildlands supposed to be a really good game? Kind of having trouble getting into it. The driving feels subpar, and the missions are all kinda bland so far.

Eh, it can be fun in co-op, but it's another case of Ubisoft fucking up a series. GR Wildlands and Breakpoint aren't even proper GR games.

I prefer Wildlands over Breakpoint though.

 

[NickFire]

PS Plus Essential and Extra have been killing it since the release.

I can't speak much for extra since I haven't upgraded it. But you're spitting truth about essential. They really stepped up their game the past couple months.
