Oh Downwell! I might renew.

For a game that can be had for under 5 bucks lol?

Not really sure what all the excitement is about. Freedom Cry is meh and JC3 is straight up garbage on PS4 and not really much better on PC.

Downwell is cool but heh I already supported the devs on Steam.

Everyone complains about PS Plus through many awesome indie games and the occasional 1st party title and now all the sudden Downwell, a game that can be had for like 3 bucks on Steam at times, is an amazing month and Just Cause 3 is a celebration lol?

People are crazy I think.

Having free stuff is cool, yo.

Also, people have different taste.

It's a good month, "Stop liking what I like" etc etc

"Heh" aren't you a stand up guy. Downloading it via plus is also supporting the devs.

Still a good month. Don't let it affect your wellbeing that other People are happy.

JC3 is great for me and PS4 Pro since I’ve been dying to get it on sale once we found out boost made helps it so much

Many quotes

The point is people whine and cry, whine and cry, over and over every single month when they don't get their game.

It's just a bit silly that this is a month people are somehow excited for. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that this was affecting my wellbeing in any way. Seems you're reaching there.

I am happy if you are happy. I don't really care as I said PS Plus is for online to me. I just found it really strange is all. PS Plus has been very solid to me even though I own half of the games on Steam. Still very good selections 3/4 of the year. I don't have any problems with these ones either. It all seems like a normal month to me.

Already played the hell out of JC3 but i'm pretty excited about trying Downwell. First time in a while PS+ been decent, personally.
 
Someone please help me!
I bought a 12 months Plus and entered the code. It accepted the code and then wanted my account password again. When I entered password, it said something like server timeout and after that, I can't use that code again. My account is still non-Plus and when I want to use the code, is says "This prepaid card has already been redeemed."
What should I do? Is there any e-mail to ask this from Sony?

What happens if you log out and back in again?

Yes, you can contact Sony support on the site and explain, am sure they will followup. :)

I tried logging out, but my account is still normal and code isn't working. :(
Do you have a link or e-mail? The only place I found is here and it seems nobody answers.

ill check out downwell but other than that this month is pretty poor. Freedom Cry is only a couple hours long but its decent. Just Cause is too broken to be worth free.

PS4:
Just Cause 3 (PS4)
Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry (PS4)
Always wanted to try JC series, I heard this is the worst but it's free...
I don't know if I will even download AC.


PSVITA:
Downwell (PS Vita) + PS4 crossbuy
Level 22 (PS Vita)

Thx god I didn't bought downwell until now!
I like the graphic of Level22, I will try it.

PS3:
Super Motherload (PS3)
Snake Ball (PS3)

PS3 no more for me, not going to take it out for these anyway....

So-so month for me. Mostly bad I would say.
 
At this point I wish they'd just stop offering PS3 games and just offer a PSVR game.

Or even some movies.

PS3 games have hit bottom of the barrel.

I just traded in JC3 as I couldn't finish it. The performance isn't terrible with the pro but it still slows down a lot when you chain link explosions, which is kinda the point of the game.

Maybe I'm getting old but continually blowing up the same stuff didn't do it for me. It's a good game to play with a podcast on, and in small bursts.

And it's AAA retail, so all the whiners should stop complaining because last time it was the "stupid indie shovelware" complaint.

Okay month. I liked past two Just Cause games so I'll try this one. Performance was discouraging enough for me to pick it up, but this coming with a PS+ sub and possible Boost Mode improvements make it acceptable. I've played Freedom Cry already and quite liked it. AC4 formula blended with smaller scope works very well imo.

Downwell for Vita is fantastic. I have the game on Steam, my android phone and Vita and mixing portability and physical buttons made the Vita version the most enjoyable for me. Give it a download if you have the handheld. Level 22 looks nice visually so I'll probably try it.

It seems like it's another consecutive passable month. PS+ is finally pushing the right buttons for me.

Very happy with this month - I got shot of JC3 physical ages ago, but I was having a good enough time with it, despite it tanking in places...closest thing I have to Mercenaries...

Never got round to Freedom Cry but I loved ACIV so I'm down for some more piratical action.

Downwell looks like a game the Spectrum used to dream of having...

Hated Just Cause 3 with a passion because of is atrocious performance issues, ruined any chance of potential fun. I won't be missing my PS+ when it runs out in September, but I'll be a sucker and resubscribe if I can get it for $35 again.

I have never ever tried renting a Movie on consoles,mostly because I have a Movie Network package with my satellite provider(yeah they come 6 months after the DVD release but I dont care) but for a buck or so,I might try Logan or Kong...if you can run Netflix at 1080p with no buffering whatsoever,movies are good I guess...? (unless its the 720p versions...? )

And JC 3 is pretty cool,will try it for sure.

Is this supposed to be an example of how bad it was? This looks fine to me. Yeah there are some stutters when the camera circles around the helicopter, it's a demanding game. This is still totally within my range of 'acceptable performance'. The idea that people can say a game "doesn't work" or is "a disaster" when others would think it's just fine is bizarre.

If you reduced all the visuals just so that the moments where a ton of shit is happening were smoother I think you'd actual hurt the game, as most of the time the game runs fine and the visuals are a huge part of what makes the game so good (it looks great).

But I never see eye to eye with the framerate police and am a fervent defender of 30fps in favour of better visuals so I don't expect too many to agree with me.

Look at 1:30. This is what people call broken.

That video posted above is actually an example of when it runs on the good side.
 
The hyperbole is real, played jc3 unpatched on a base ps4 just fine. Offcourse theres slowdown thats the kind of game it is.
In any case, couldn't care less, bought the discounted season pass and have a pro so im set

What do you want, content worth 50bucks every month of the games you enjoy??

Cry me a river ffs

Dude, there is no hyperbole. On launch it was already constantly dropping to 22-24fps on a base PS4. This is verified by Digital Foundry.

After all the patches, the game runs even worse.

Stop defending a broken game and yelling "Hyperbole!" When the game is clearly terrible performance wise.

People defending this practice of pushing DLC to sale while the base gake is broken as fuck, is in my mind truly insane. I know you've paid momey for it so you feel some need to defend it, but wow.
