PS+ : December Edition Thread | Our wallet may not cry but our backlogs will

Bioshock 2 was solid but Minerva's Den is where it's at. Arguably better than Bioshock 1, lengthy, and cheap. Everyone should buy that after downloading BS2.

Oh god...Bioshock 2? I bought that for $10 in 2010. Good job SCEA. Now cue that that one apologist who claims that the difference between the SCEA and SCEE offerings is mainly due to the tastes of the gamer. lol

The real issue I see in these threads is that games for SCEE receive almost universal praise and those for SCEA are polarizing.

Is it the game choices themselves relative to the audience? Is it simply a vocal, entitled SCEA population? What's the dynamic going on here?

So EU is getting rid of the big 1st party games soon (Infamous 2, LBP2). What are they replacing them with?


It makes me wonder if SCEA plans to do the same? If they did I assume one of the games might be Motorstorm: Apocalypse (or atleast I hope it is).
They're not, they're getting replace in June, not January.

Also lol at people being angry about Bioshock 2. It's a great game, and you'll be getting more games in the next weeks.

Well, shit. I just bought Arkham City GOTY on Steam for five quid. Spoiler: Most of the full games available on PS+ are or have been dirt cheap at some point.

They're pretty high profile titles. I'm not too sure that they will switch them out, but if they do it have to be something that will attract new PS+ members.
My guess would be that Uncharted 2, Warhawk, GTA 4, Hot Pursuit and Bioshock 2 are likely candidates.

Indeed, which is why I always find it strange people cheer those on. I'm looking forward to all those small downloadable games that will never go cheap.

bioshock 2 seems like a solid addition (though i bought it at launch and haven't played it since finishing it), i'm interested to see what the rest of december brings.

Haha so we get BioShock 2, let me guess all the DLC stays at regular price

Unfuckingbelievable

Amazing

So if I DL Batman AC from Yurop, I have to get Harley Quinn's DLC from EU store correct?
Can I use my NA Saves? (I mean it's Digital Release + From another region, it really feels highly unlikely, but hopefully it works or has worked)
 
I would rather have Bioshock personally, because I played through it when it came out for Xbox 360, and would love to play through the superior edition on the PS3.

That guy is so much worse than the people who claim that if they already own a game, it's a bad offering.

"They gave us Uncharted 2? The best game of the generation? LOL! I bought that already how dumb can they be lololol."

They don't personally check YOUR gaming history, dude. You're not that important.

No idea what is going on, but clearly SCEA is getting Shit on constantly..... We finally got RE5, but just do a comparison of the AAA games and it's not even close, NA is a second thought to SCEE. Where is that NEOGAF SCEA community guy that lurks these forums? It's funny he never shows up in these threads to feed us the normal corporate side-step buull crap; EDIT for JVM:
I'm really jeleous of SCEE games selections and would love for the wonderful gentleman from SCEA to stop by this thread and explain the rational of giving us crap one again this month <Thank you for RE5 though a couple months after SCEE offered it though>

So is everyone complaining just because Sony has only announced one weeks worth of plus content instead of the whole months worth?

Come on, dude. You don't have to call people names. Surely we're above that.

Don't get me wrong BioShock 2 is delicious, people should try it out

It isn't a title that was screaming to be played right now (after what the EU is offering, this shit feels wrong)

Most have retail copies collecting dust because it's so fucking cheap to get and have it in their backlogs

Then you have ancient MP, which most likely is dead, yes new influx of people will come, but for how long?

Then no heavily discount on the DLC, at least Bundle the complete package ala Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

Well, in my experience pansies are actually tough plants. They are the only ones that used to bloom in the middle of winter and hold up under the (modest) snow we received.

Bioshock 2? Man, I really wish my month code worked instead of me having to buy a year, PSRS continues to fail outside of the one month where it was decent (last month since it had Uncharted/Gravity Rush/JSR and King of Cloonies 13) :/

Though, that Rockstar Games collection discount is nice... I guess... (if it was more than 10%, I'd buy it so hard, too bad SCEA... too bad.)

There he is. lol

Again, the fact that I own the game is irrelevant. The fact that the game could be had for $10 or less over the past two years is relevant though.

But keep up the good work in these threads though. I get more entertainment from reading your posts than I do from from SCEA.

It felt like Bioshock 1.5

I thought Bioshock was terrible - that's the only reason i would be disappointed in B2.

Fortunately i live in Europe so will be too busy playing Arkham City/Vanquish to care...

Also most likely the next 2 week releases = PSN Games

I think Scott and Double Dragon have been up for a while, they most likely will be replaced with 2 new PSN no?

Ok, I will!

Pay me $4 a month then.

I'm so angry that this $4 a month service is offering me a $10 game (for only its first week), even though I hoarded a bunch of codes from a giveaway I exploited, and have access to the "superior" EU service, again, through codes! I'm SO MAD! The online community is dead, and sure this will make that a non-issue derp, but not for long enough!... WHATEVER THAT TIME FRAME IS! CANYOUGUYSBELIEVE THAT THE DLC ISN'T BEING DISCOUNTED! CALL MY LAWYER!

... by the way, I'm going to buy some Batman DLC. Can I play that on my NA account?

Bioshock 2 ? Nice. Loved the first but I initially wanted to skip it and play Infinite instead, but I can't say no to "free" Bioshock 2 :)

Umm... why did you quote the wrong dude?

Listen I paid 2 years ahead for this service, I only got 2 years free taking me to 2017

Get off your little high horse

I have the right to be pissed

My account + store is already fucked up as it is, then SCEA doesn't even try to match at least title for title

I didn't quote the wrong dude. He asked me to keep up my good work, so I did so, by performing an impression I had at first thought was better left on the table. I can't disappoint my fans though.

You have the "right" to be pissed. I have the "right" to mock you.

You've been saying EU is better for like five months now. Why not just make the switch permanent?
