Armello looks amazing, and has a near perfect score on steam. It should win. I hate this already Zombie viking might be legitimately good, but I feel people are only gonna vote for it cause "Zombies". I'd rather Sony chose honestly this is just gonna piss me off when what I want loses.

But what if it was going up against Knack?

This. Shit like this would make me unsub.
Yup, I just checked that game out and I think it looks awful. Like a bad 2D hack & slash that only has it's art going for it.
Grow Home and Armello are such better choices.
Thankfully this isn't a real vote yet, but I can already see the general public voting for that game because "lol zombies".

I just googled it after reading your post and wow it looks fun. A shame it probably won't win.
I hope that Sony forces people to view a trailer for each of the games up for voting, otherwise the winner will just be the one that people recognize first.
Never heard of Armello until this thread and it does look good. But ZV is not just Zombies, it comes from the makers of another very good and very funny game, so it does have potential as well. It does need a better name though.
Right, at this rate I'd rather not know. I don't know how smart it is to surface something that inherently leaves a percentage of people disappointed. Ignorance is bliss.

Knack is not a terrible game cmon. It could have been tweaked (random treasures, other Knacks only unlock at certain status of gems, disappearing enemies, a bit more variety) and polished more.
It got slammed in reviews but I am fairly confident they never played coop, played other Knack versions, or the time trials, or played on Hard at any point.
It's not a 10/10 but it's not a 3/10 either. I would have given it a 6.5 or 7 (as a launch game). It was certainly better than Ryse imo.
I platinumed it and my son is still playing it years later on a weekly basis. He only ever plays LEGO games like that.

I support this!!! Awesome idea
I am all for this honestly.
People complain about the games for gold and PS+ offerings every month anyway. Let the gamers decide. Of course you won't get what you want all the time but it's nice the other games will be offered with discounts so if you're that interested you can still get it.
Hopefully with something like this game gifting becomes and option in the future.

Surely it can't be any worse than the selection we've been getting. Maybe no more boring indie games.
The only decent games from PS+ since PS4 came out have been Resogun, Rocket League, and First Light.
If Sony hadn't require PS+ for online then I wouldn't have bothered subscribing.

Even bad games will have some people who like it, kids particularly. In those cases, its better for those that want the bad game to buy it themselves, so the rest of us dont have a slot wasted on it.

Most people have poor taste. I don't like this idea one bit.

Most people are terrible when it comes to voting in things like this. Just look at like every Steam sale with user voting ever. Noooooo.

Terrible idea. Providing three choices will create a lot of situations where most people are unhappy since their game didn't get voted in and the plus discount won't alleviate that. They've previously had votes for sales in the past and I remember I would be salty when the item I voted for that never went on sale before lost the vote to games that went on sale every two months.

If this happens, watch how gamers will vote for the worst game. Every single time.
I can understand people being tired of zombies (I am myself to a certain degree), but Zombie Vikings is not a zombie game in the traditional sense. The game isn't about killing zombies, but playing as zombies. That are pretty much human. And definitely vikings.
Don't like this, maybe for one of the games, but not all.
People have shit taste, they'd sooner take a garbage-bin retail title like AC:Black Flag over any truly promising indie title anyday of the week. The known franchises would get votes, the unknown but potentially amazing games get ignored.

Can't be worst then the selection so far. Only a few diamonds in the list so far for me.

I need Knack to come to PS+ already
Not because I want to play it, but so that others can, and realize it's not a bad game. Play on hard people - infinitely more rewarding and enjoyable that way.
I foresee a lot more shooters coming to PS+ in the future

Is it bad that this was my first thought? :lol

It is only for 1 out of the 6 it appears, with the two that didn't win to get a discount that month.
This is great! I highly doubt that Sony will put any retail games in the running but at least we won't get anymore shovelware like Woah Dave.
I hope Grow Home wins. That game looks awesome. The nice thing is, if it doesn't win, I can buy it on sale and not worry about it popping up o PS+ the next month. I wonder if losing titles can ever pop up again in the future though.

Now their deals will say "let us do this big voting campaign, and if it wins we'll pay you for it to be the free game, if not it'll be at a discount with extra publicity". Pretty simple, no?
...
Ugh.
I don't like any of this. Everyone who doesn't win, loses. Unless this PS+ discount is insane. I doubt the voting pool actually knows what game they'd like to play beyond the title and an image. Literally judging games by their cover. Heck, I bet a majority of the voters won't even download the game they voted for.

Interesting tidbit. I just checked Armellos Kickstarter page and they announce that the game is coming to PS4 in september. Which would make sense for this to be included in the next update or something and for people to vote for septembers games

I really enjoyed Grow Home. Great surprise and spent wayyyyy too long playing that game to be fair.

Given how steam sale voting ends every single time i never want people to have the ability to vote for anything.
It would be cool if the 2 that didnt win were like 50% off or something

Would be interesting if they do it for PSN Day 1 titles.

Grow Home is 8$ on Steam.
Armello is 25$
Zombie Viking should be near SITTM 10-20$
I can't vote for Grow Home on principle alone.

I think it's a really good idea for devs. People will essentially be marketing for them by campaigning (lightly) for the game they want to win and that'll increase sales a good amount I think for them when they get put on sale compared to just putting them on sale normally. Especially for indie type games that don't really have any advertising budget to speak of.

Halo?
You have to close the quote tags multiple times. I put an example in email tags for you. Quote to see.

Didn't they say that the ones not picked will get a discount that month too? It wouldn't be so bad if we get the option to pay what Sony was gonna pay them to have it as a plus title.
