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.

better to have a game that run like ass for free than paying for it

i was more offended receiving kane & lynch 2 for GWG (which runs okay but the game is ass)

Ehhhhhh... not a great month.

Freedom Cry is such a cop out to give as a PS4 game for the month. Even as far as standalone DLC goes it's short and barebones as all hell. Just Cause 3 ain't so good either, but that's mainly due to the technical issues I assume have never been fixed.

Downwell is fantastic though, I'll give the month that much. The other Vita game and the PS3 games I've never heard of but a quick googling doesn't exactly have me jumping with excitement.

I know it's probably not something most would want, but I kinda wish they'd start giving out some of those Arcade Archive titles as PS4 games occasionally. I'd play Double Dragon or Salamander for sure, but I kinda don't want to buy them myself at the same time.

Why couldn't they just give us Black Flag?

Possibly because it was already on GWG a while back. Seems like games almost never appear on Plus if MS get there first.

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.

This is so false. They openly admitted they needed to restructure their plus to make it more appealing again. Sony had very clearly gotten comfortable with the paywell being in place.

This is the first I am hearing about Freedom Cry, I just assumed it was a short story or one of those 2D games or something, didn't know it was a standalone game.

Is it any use? I loved AC4 so I'll likely give it a go.

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

Still will try out Just Cause 3 eventually.

Same. Totally forgot about that game.

Will definitely goof around with Just Cause 3 now when I wouldn't have before at least not for a long while.

Freedom Cry is good but I bought it and beat it back when it was first released. Just Cause 3 is amazing though. I have been wanting to try it out for a while now.

I hope you're not talking about that tabloid article, haha.

Dare one hope that we'll see more high profile games on plus from now on?

Either way, JC3 will definitely get a try out of these.

own JC3, great game which i managed to play most of while the updates actually fixed things and hadn't made them worse.

love AC4, but never played the stand alone expansion so i'm all over that. and i like the look of downwell.

good month. they seem to be upping their game lately.

This is Just Cause "3fps" gameplay on PS4 in normal circumstances in case anyone is wondering.

People should try it for themselves and draw their own conclusions.

Are you sure this on ps3 ? Because first of all it shows all the xbox button prompts. And this happened to be the exact mission when i said fuck it because the framerate tanked to a 15fps unplayable mess. I feel pretty good saying this is running on PC.

man this is the best month in recent memory for me. Always wanted to give Freedom Cry a try, and JC3 I've been waiting for sweet spot pricing, looks like I don't have to wait any more.

I thought I already bought Downwell. I haven't. In any case it is prefect Vita game. I don't know how much I will play Just Cause 3 with that performance but Freedom Cry I will probably finish.

I just got a wishlist alert that JC3 was on sale at Steam and thought about buying it before clicking over here.

Freedom Cry is very good. AC fans that haven't played it are in for a treat.

Just Cause 2 is what brought me into PS Plus when they started their massive games giveaway. My Plus jut expired, too, and I was needing a valid reason to reup. And I've been sorely looking for a JC3 sale. This is absolutely perfect.

This also seems like an anniversary of sorts, because iirc their first massive game giveaway with Plus started in August, too.

Cool, I'll finally get to see how shit Just Cause 3 is on the standard PS4.Can't wait...Love playing games with 20 fps.

Assassins Creed is ok I guess.
