Rocket League is amazing. I'm assuming anyone at least not interested in trying hasn't played it or know what it is. It's legit great. The beta they ran a couple of months ago killed it, it was a blast.

Geometry Wars isn't my kind of game so looks like another month of shit. I hope Rocket League doesn't suck as bad as the others.
Are you joking?

From the day you started posting here you've been coming across like a grade-a Sony shill, your comments often don't read like an opinion but like absolute statements. And that's bad for everyone involved. Maybe work a little on how you present your 'opinions' and people might stop calling you out.
Also I started paying for PS+ because of the games when there wasn't paid multiplayer on PS3, as did many others. Also Styx is excellent as is Geometry Wars but I own them already so nothing interesting yet again, maybe Rain on PS3 but the reviews weren't so great afair.

Maybe stop name calling and I will take you serious, until then there is an ignore option.thanks. Everything someone posts is an opinion, are you one of those that needs a disclaimer after every post saying it is an opinion?
Was expecting just indie games, was hoping it wasn't just indie games. Not surprised, but disappointed. Almost all of the indie games on PS+ have been pretty bad.
True, but it's pretty safe that the retail PS4 game you purchased won't be showing up on PS+. It's the indie show on PS4.

Rocket League? Holy shit, I was gonna buy it anyway.
I wonder is Geometry Wars is Cross buy? Methinks I could get that on PS4 also when I download on Vita.

I know GAF loves the indie fodder but I can't help but be disappointed yet again. XBOX Live Gold gets AC4, PS+ Japan gets Guilty Gear Xrd and Arkham Origins and we get this....
It really feels like a slap in the face to NA and EU. Is it too much to ask for even one decent retail PS3 game?
And please don't say we got the PS+ version of DriveClub cause that was supposed to come out almost two years ago.

Every one of these threads seems to devolve into a pissing match between Games with Gold and PS+.
In terms of 'complimentary' games, the two aren't even comparable.
Games with Gold (Xbox One)
Number of games: 18 total - 2 retail, 16 digital
Average review score: 72
Total Value: $308.82
PS+ (PS4)
Number of games: 50 total - 2 retail, 48 digital
Average review score: 77
Total Value: $765.01
Not to mention that Games with Gold has had several multi-month titles like Crimson Dragon (3 months), Pool Nation FX (3 months), and Worms Battlegrounds (3 months) whereas PS+ hasn't had a multi-month offering since Resogun during the first 6 months of release - which, by the way, Games with Gold offered zero games during.
So get outta here with that BS that offering a 22 month old yearly franchise iteration somehow not only making up for having Pool Nation FX three months in a row, but also compensates for having 30 less games and $450 less worth of titles to the comparable service.

Everyone just needs to give Rocket League a try. I am pumped for the population, was worried I would end up just playing against the super good people after the dust settled post launch.

Are you waiting for the Metacritic score before you make your verdict on it?

You wrote, and I quote, "the games are in fact free". In fact. Yeah, I kinda need a disclaimer after something like that. Also people have basically told you what I've told you in a nicer way but it apparently doesn't stick.

So you just base your opinions off scores on an aggregate review site or have you actually played the games?

I don't even
Agree on Ass. Creed and Rayman, but they do have to try and appeal to mainstream tastes with PS+, and oddities like DanganRonpa are a bit niche in terms of appeal compared more generic shooter, puzzle, platform and racing games. Sure, we know they are great, but I'm not sure people outside of games forums are actually interested in them.
As for Persona, it's one of the best-selling games on the system. Why give away a game that the highest portion of your userbase has already got, when you can give away ones that practically nobody bought? I'm not saying I don't want great games or that a mix of high-budget and low-budget wouldn't be cool, but I do find it mystifying when people cling on for years waiting for a game to be in PS+ when it's been on sale several times. If anyone wanted to play it, they've had plenty of opportunity to buy it cheap.
I like being given the stuff like Mousecraft that I was never going to pay a tenner for. All the decent, big Vita games I'm interested in I probably have already.
Using metacritic as a actual barometer of quality. Lol, come the fuck on.
Geometry Wars isn't my kind of game so looks like another month of shit. I hope Rocket League doesn't suck as bad as the others.

Oh no! I said something slightly negative about Sony's service I have to pay for.

People? No they haven't and again, do you need a disclaimer after every post stating this is someones opinion? lol by default it is.

Got nothing to do with saying something negative, plus has disappointed me too, just your comment was irrelevant, no one cares if you are going to sub or not nor does it have anything to do with the thread. Oh no I called you out.

I am glad that I don't put on blinders and base all of my decisions on a metacritic number. Not that games in the 70s are bad anyway.
Wow. This thread has devolved into the worst part of every month.

Metacritic should not be used to judge how good a game is.
If you've read the posts here about Styx, you'll learn it excels in gameplay, being closer to old school stealth games. So if you are interested in a stealth game that doesn't hold your hand, def. give it a try.
Seriously though, assuming you have unlimited bandwidth, download the games and try them for yourself, you never know if you'll end up liking them.
What do you mean we? Is this now a poll?

Rocket being free is great. Would never have tried it otherwise.
As for the rest, yeah, it doesn't look super great, so I'm not surprised people are upset.
Having said that, I ALWAYS play every ps plus game. I don't give a flying fuck what meta critic says. A 6/10 to someone can be an 8/10 to me.
Found some real gems in there. Dust: an elesyian tale is probably in my top 10 indie games of all time, and I would have never tried that without plus.

Only in the sense that people come out of the woodworks to staunchly defend Sony when other posters find the lineup disappointing.
Called me out? Lol...as if anyone else's comments are more or less important in a thread such as this. I'm free to say I feel disappointed with the games on offer.

Apparently, it isn't cross buy. Which I'm shocked and very disappointed about.
Apparently so!

To be fair if I get at least one good game out of it, it's worth £5. Rocket League seems to be getting a lot of buzz, hopefully we can get a GAF community together for it

I'd rather have them do free indies since I buy all the retails games I want that come out. Rocket League looks really cool. The service is so damn cheap that I don't really care what games we get. We barely pay anything for it.
