Ah well I'm still looking forward to Gauntlet!
Switch Back 9
a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Dammit, I really want to play Blood Dragon but I only have a PS4. Ain't that some shit.
The classic KQ games were an evolution of text adventures, and then became point and click adventures later on. KQ8 is a weird action-adventure aberration that killed the series and everyone tries to forget it happened.
This one is more of a pre-TWD Telltale style point and click; you've got the freedom to move around the world at will and there are actual puzzles to solve, but they never get too complex or obtuse.

SSX's quality fluctuates, but when it's good it's fucking fantastic. Stick to pitless trick slopes.
Yeah, never heard good things about KQ8 (never played much of it).
Few puzzles sounds good. Really looking forward to this game. And you say the story in each episode (so far) is complete?
Thanks for your answer.

King's Quest being just the first episode is disappointing. And apparently PS+ subscribers will miss out on the "epilogue" since that's exclusive to the "complete season pass" which can't be purchased once you have 'buy' the first episode.
Blood Dragon is cool, I'm guessing it's in anticipation for Primal.
Apparently no split-screen for SSX which is probably the only reason I would have played it.
Heard good things about Freedom Wars.
Not sure about the Gauntlet.
Hoped Rocketbirds is cross-buy so I can play co-op on PS3 but alas its not.

Hopefully this will help boost sales of upcoming KQ episodes. First one was great and deserves more attention.
It's the meatiest adventure game episode I've played.
Also, I fully expect the epilogue to become available for purchase to everyone at some point.

Really? This is way too crappy :|

I was initially a bit annoyed I already bought KQ, and so recently too, but then I remembered that game is an absolute joy and I'm very happy to have given them money for it. Disappointing to see it on PS+ so soon though - probably indicates sales weren't so hot. I hope a lot of people give it a try, it's fun and charming through and through.

I'm not that surprised since KQ series is not known to younger players and the complete season was way more expensive than other episodic games released in the recent years (Telltale's games, Resident Evil Revelations 2, Life is Strange etc.).
Also it sucks about the epilogue. Kinda ruined my plans of buying an ep2-5 season pass sometime in the future.

Weakest PS4 month for me so far. But I'll give King's Quest a go down the line.
I'm not a fan of the big recent focus on co-op games. I don't have any friends so they do nothing for me.

Okay, this sucks. I might just pass on it and buy the complete edition now/when it's on offer, or wait for the inevitible physical disc.
Honestly I might cancel and just buy month-by-month when games I want come out, just for multiplayer. My budget is extremely tight and there hasn't been a Plus game that excited me for MANY months. I've been waiting for Killzone for an eternity, and I could have bought it quite a few times over with my PS Plus money.....

Not a terrible month for me, but I'm not super picky since I just pay for the MP and rarely get around to PS+ games anyway given my backlog of AAA stuff.
Gauntlet could be fun with friends, Kings Quest looks mildly interesting, and I've wanted to check out Freedom Wars on Vita.

The way the series is structured is that an elderly King Graham is telling his granddaughter stories of his past, each one from a different time in his life. So by necessity, each chapter is self contained. There's a little bit of overarching story in the "present day" that does end on a cliffhanger, but unless things change significantly in later episodes, those parts are a very small percentage of the overall run time.

Nearly 30 is still young.
But the age thing isn't the key factor here, it's more of a question what types of games you grew up playing. Me and some of my friends owned an Amiga or a PC back then. We've finished tons of point&click adventures and all of us played at least a few of Sierra's Quest games. In my case the sentiment wasn't enough and a large part of that was the high price.
Not uk yet it seems
Edit: wrong
search was showing gauntlet as £15, product details show it as free now

I can't buy or download Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken (PS Vita).
Page says: "Not available for purchase".
When I click "more information" it says I already own it.
I think it's because I already bought it for PS3 (there's another page/link for the Vita game that says I need to pay for the game (I guess at a reduced price because I already bought the PS3-version)).
Anyone else with this problem?

Disappointing games for PS4 for me, same as last month. Oh well, there've been some great months so far this year, I guess I was just hoping for something better for the Christmas season, maybe the Playstation Experience will surprise us with something nice.
Thank goodness for Rocket League, still playing that daily!

I'm glad I didn't buy gauntlet now, I will be interested to finally give it a try
And by give it a try I mean add it to my ps4 library and probably never play it hahaha

I posted something similar to the following in the GWG thread:
As a newbie PS4 owner who previously only had an XBone, I kept hearing from "over the fence" that Plus freebies were much better than GWG.
This is the first month I have access to both and I think GWG is actually better. A new indie, an older AAA and three 360 games playable through BC.
I know this is opinions etc., but I was under the impression Plus would be showering us with triple AAA goodies, the way people were talking.

Nope, unless indie games are your thing and you don't have a PC where you have likely already played them all GWG pretty much craps all over ps+ from what I've seen and I've has plus since the ps4 launched gracing us with paid multiplayer lol

Indie games isnt a genre and ps+ games have been great. a lot of fun titles
Sniffynose
Member
Lol I don't want to get into the debate there's enough threads on it but anyone with a PC has basically zero need for PS+ offerings unless you own a PS3 and sometimes Vita. Let's just say for some of us we are just paying for multiplayer.

Why not? You can buy all 5 on the store. I feel like this is giving away 1 part of a game which is dumb

Right and not everyone plays games on a pc.

They did the same with the telltale games, it's lame.
Right which is why before I said if you didn't already have a PC or play them there it might be good. We are going in circles now lols
telltale gave for free borderlands and game of thrones ep 1 and its not part of ps plus.
So its kind of a shitty move to gave one episode a slot in ps plus.
But good months nonetheless, and i will play king quest and the season pass or a physical release at the end.
Will borderlands get a physical release?

You pretty much gotta go in order. I got season 1 free on xbox one and 2 free on PS4 so at least between the two systems I can play *sigh*

Well...just glad I got in on PS+ early when Sony was desperate to bolster users. My ps3 and vita libraries are amazing and acquired for basically nothing.
Definitely not renewing
