How is JC3's performance? I head it had a lot of issues which is why I stayed clear of it.

 

[Gloggins]

PS4 games on PS+ have improved hugely this year.

PS3 though is always some weird crap I never heard of.

 

[BearPawB]

"Free" disappointment is better than paid disappointment though.

True. Maybe if I hadn’t payed full price I wouldn’t be so bitter about it

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Just Cause 3 and Assassins Creed?

Great month! For PS PLUS

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Downwell is fun but Just Cause 3 is an all around awful experience,

 

[deo]

Because they continually put out awful games and are not deserving of my hard earned pounds.

Good thing its free And ACIV is actually better than III

 

[BronsonLee]

That's a beefy damn month

 

[Cronen]

Freedom Cry is great, I highly recommend it.

 

[Brandon F]

What the hell is AC: Freedom Cry?

ACIV: Black Flag standalone DLC.

 

[Lashley]

Very good month, I'll replay JC3

 

[Gator86]

wow an AAA game...

and the greatness that is downwell

sickk

some amazing 99 cent rentals coming too

Terrific fucking month. Also i want to see all of these. Sony nailed it here. Freedom Cry is the best thing to ever come out of the trashcan water that is the AC franchise.

 

[Struct09]

Great month!

 

[Lazlo]

Looking forward to all the new complaints about JC3's framerate. It was near unplayable at times. Such a shame since I loved JC2.

 

[Alchemist]

PS+ is back

 

[WhupTroyGAF]

I bought JC3 digitally when it came out and I haven't played it yet SMH....

 

[Theslammer]

Huh, why can't I find that on PS Blog?

 

[WITHE1982]

I'm quite happy with that.

I've never played Just Cause 3 but I do like the idea of messing about in a giant sandbox. I loved ACIV but never played the DLC so that another win. Plus I've been meaning to buy Downwell for months now.

All in all it's not a bad one IMO.

 

[Mr. Phellps]

Wait, PS Latam says that the PS+ games are "Strike Vector EX & Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry". Did the frigging change the game again?

Seems so. Fucking awful.

 

[Keinning]

why would anyone bother buying AC games in any platform now


is JC3 as bad in performance for PS4 as it is for X1? if not, great month indeed

 

[perfectsil]

Good month

 

[kevin1025]

Only play Just Cause 3 if you have a Pro. On regular PS4 you'll be playing a slideshow.

 

[Vanillalite]

Need confirmation on if Downwell is cross buy... Seeing conflicting reports.

 

[Dadasch]

Is JC3 still not playable? I heard a lot of complaints over the framerate dips.

All in all a very good month.

 

[Harmen]

Hmmm, that is a good month. Was always interested in Freedom Cry and while I heard bad things about JC3 (not just performancewise), I think messing around in it every now and then will be fun.

 

[2blackcats]

PS4 games on PS+ have improved hugely this year.

PS3 though is always some weird crap I never heard of.

Super motherload is cross buy

 

[SxP]

That's pretty good, especially if Super Motherload is cross-buy as well for PS4.

 

[benzopil]

PS+ is back

I remember how a couple months ago in some thread I told people to wait, explained that PS Plus on PS3 was garbage for first few years and we started to get big games when PS3 was nearly "dead". But people replied that "you'll never see big games again, Sony doesn't care, they have to reason etc". Fun times.

 

[2blackcats]

Yes it is. I own it.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Blah - happy to see some AAA up there though.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Excellent month!

 

[Heroman]

Just cause 3, that game is unplayable in its current state.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Still no reason to re-new my sub, I see.

 

[Kyrios]

Oh shit, Freedom Cry! Looking forward to playing that. Forgot all about that standalone game.

Still will try out Just Cause 3 eventually.

 

[NightShift]

Excellent month. Both games ones that I see on sale constantly but never really have the desire to play them at that time so I don't bother. It would also be nice to have Downwell on PS4. I play it on my phone but touch screen controls aren't the best.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

There’s lot of great stuff to look forward to, but if you want something immediate, this weekend only, PlayStation Plus members can play Doom for free starting tomorrow, Thursday the 27th until the 30th. Play all weekend long, then save 50% on the full game purchase in the PlayStation Store with a PlayStation Plus exclusive discount, which is available through August 3rd.

[Vashetti]

Reminder for OCD'ers that Freedom Cry is standalone to the exact same Freedom Cry DLC for Black Flag.

So this Freedom Cry has it's own Trophy list and won't fill up the same Freedom Cry DLC list on Black Flag's.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Nice.

 

[jroc74]

An outstanding month

Even tho JC3 does have issues, it really is a good month.

Wow.

There ya go AAA fans.

lol, be quiet.

This is shocking tho. Still no Knack....

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

Nice. Both games that I've been curious to try, but never would buy.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Huh, why can't I find that on PS Blog?

[Nerokis]

Downwell + a nice, small slice of AC at its best + the opportunity to possibly play JC3 for 10 minutes makes this a very good month for me.

 

[Theslammer]

I remember how a couple months ago in some thread I told people to wait, explained that PS Plus on PS3 was garbage for first few years and we started to get big games when PS3 was nearly "dead". But people replied that "you'll never see big games again, Sony doesn't care, they have to reason etc". Fun times.

Man, with Tearaway Unfolded and Killing Floor 2, I've had a lot of fun with it this year. I still play the latter. Titan Souls was fun, but I haven't finished it.

Until Dawn, Day of the Tentacle Remastered and Life Is Strange are great, but I already owned them.

Ah, on the US link! Thanks.

 

[Equanimity]

Great month once again.

 

[Megatron]

Really good month! I didnt even know what ac freedom cry was.

 

[ginger ninja]

Fucking Disgraceful. JC3 runs like a fucking turd.

 

[Assanova]

Looks like we're finally starting to get a decent steam of good games.

 

[Savantcore]

Super motherload is cross buy

It isn't. There are two separate listings on the store which require individual purchases. Same with Level 22.

 

[Sephiroth503]

Wow, almost bought JC3 on a few occasions! Great month for me.

 

[conpfreak]

Already own Freedom Cry, great game. Spouse had Just Cause 3, but lost the physical copy so this is good news.

 

[PhantomThief]

How can they give away a game like JC3 when it runs like total ass on a base PS4?

I'm actually offended by this as a ps+ subscriber.

People saying "great games" are hopefully talking about Downwell and Freedom Cry.
