Awful. I wouldn't recommend it even if it was free. IMO it's just not worth the time.

Be honest... Did you EVER pay 49.99 for PS+ before? And if not, why are you complaining about 60 dollars when you are likely to find it on sale for around 40?
Shouldn't you be complaining that your otherwise 30-35 dollar sales are now going to be 40-45?
Also... 10 dollars. You will have to settle for 10 fewer jr bacon cheeseburgers off the dollar menu. Adulting is rough.

I'm happy about Journey, because I still haven't played it, but the others aren't all that interesting. Datura seems like it could be okay, but is Move only?

That's alright I guess. Already got Lords of the fallen and journey though. Vita VN is nice though I have that on PC too. Lol this whole month I basically own.
Really wish it was the PoP HD collection got PS3. That wouldve made the month for me.
Journey's nice since I have the physical copy and can show it to friends on my PS4 now. And I'm already playing through Amnesia, but it's cool to see a VN being given out.
The others seem ok but Badland's really ehhh. I played through some on my phone, and it just seemed overly simple and not very fun.

How did you get a free PS+ sub?

Anyone know if Lords of the Fallen was patched to be better optimized? Last time I saw footage of it was when the game launched and it looked rough.

It's pretty decent and it looks surprisingly good. And it does one thing better than Bloodborne: they've patched in a CA on/off option in the menu! (and framepacing is rightl.

And I was going to buy Journey the next time it went on sale. Guess I don't have to now!

Honestly with the increase in price of $10 I expected a lot from this month to make the pil easier to swallow but I'm not impressed at all.
Vita is all but dead so I would love to see some quality Vita games offered. As for PS4, now would've been a good time to throw us Watch_Dogs with the sequel coming out soon. Lords of the Fallen looks like garbage from what I've seen.

I thought by the the end of 2016 we'd finally be past the 'but ps+ games aren't free!' ridiculousness.

Sony's PS+ offerings since the launch of the PS4 have just been embarrassing. I too was expecting a bit more from them with the price hike this month, but I honestly don't know why. Sony gonna Sony I guess.
GwG is just killing it, especially with the 360 bc games.

The Best month since I started using PSN Plus. Now if only Sony allowed to play PS3 games on PS4 (just like Microsoft allow Xbox 360 retro compatibilty on Xbox One) and not be forced to buy their remastered editions or subsribe to PS Now. And to not forget to play PS1 games since the PS4 is the only PlayStation that can't play them.
I hope they announce that on the PS Meeting (at least for Neo if they want to push more people to get it).

Datura could be a really nice PS VR game if Sony reworks it.

What good is $1,000 worth of games that you have no interest in 95% of the time?

Tricky towers was an awesome get this last month. So damn fun against friends.
As much as I liked Mirror's Edge, an 8 year old game is hardly what I would call killing it.

Journey is a great experience. I dont think I will ever play it again but I am happy more will.
Lords of the Fallen would have been a terrible PS+ game during the PS3 era but right now ts totally a step up from previous PS4 offerings. I think I will give the game another shot now.

Meh, Journey's great but I already have it. Lords of Fallen is REALLY mediocre, but I heard good things about Forgotten Sands

Niiiice, haven't played Journey on PS4 yet.
Different strokes for different folks I guess. I've been loving the output from PS+

Really looking forward to playing lords of the fallen.

Ya. I don't like the output so I will not renew when it expiry this mth. Still since it end on the 13 or 14,I can still try one of the games.

Yay a retail game! Lords of the Fallen! Something worthy.
So if you would own every game on PSN every month would be shitty? Great logic!

I totally acknowledge that this is personal opinion, but it's pretty scary still: there hasn't been a single PS+ game I've played all the way through and enjoyed in ALL of 2016. The games have just been duds for me. Zombi was the one I enjoyed most but I still quit halfway through because I found it became frustrating. I was looking forward to trying Gat out of Hell, but thought it was awful. Journey for next month is a great game but it's SO old and I've already played it.
By contrast, there are many games from 2014 and 2015 that I finished and considered worthwhile: Resogun, Outlast, Infamous First Light, Guacamelee, Counterspy, Valiant Hearts, Stick it to the Man, Rocket League, etc.
Surely I can't be the only one who thinks PS+ on PS4 has actually gotten worse this year?? Ahhhh.
How about any of the following?
SOMA, Rayman Legends, Child of Light, Zombie Vikings, Until Dawn, Killzone, The Order 1886, Shadow of Mordor, Alien Isolation, The Evil Within, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, God of War 3 Remastered, etc.

Not really.
Man. Lords of the Fallen is just awful. It's truly the worst current gen game I've played. Probably of recent memory, too, it's just abysmal. And I bought it in the recent sale, too.
The gameplay is SO slow and unresponsive. The characters control like if the Fatty from Dark Souls wielding a Kirkhammer two-handed and Marcus Fenix from Gears of War had made a child, and if all of their limbs were removed. It's seriously the worst.

it isn't the best giveaway cause a lot of people already own or played journey. Decently getting old now.
Maybe I don't own Prince and that will be ok to try. Maybe I would feel good about it if I didn't own it I admit.
Still waiting for more ps4 AAA games to take up one of the slots more normally though.
Seems like they are being cautions in doing it more often for some reason. Maybe next year will get more of that, for sure in two years?
PS3 use to kill it with ps3 titles month after month

Well, since online play on PS3, PSP, and Vita is free, Sony had to give consumers an incentive to subscribe.
Their PS+ strategy was brilliant and should have been seen coming from a mile away. Once they conditioned users to pony up $50 per year for the service, it was easy to transition it to an Xbox Live-type model. And now that you're locked in to paying for online play, they have far less of a reason to entice you with free software. And even less so now that they're the market leader.
