PlayStation Plus Thread: Plus What? PLUS EVERYTHING!

Downloaded RE2&3, now downloading Sly Raccoon HD and Trine 2, all for the princely sum of nothing. Will buy Journey at the weekend. Really happy with PS+, I just hope it won't become mandatory on the PS4, as that could take away the incentive for anyone to give us these amazing deals

What will I miss by playing Trine 2 before Trine?

Already broke my "no more games until my backlog is really small" rule when I bought my Vita, but I'm really tempted :(
GoW: OC for less than the price of one of the 2 games is a great deal. Infamous: FoB too.

Uhh, Infamous Festival of Blood is $9.99 normally.

Sorry for the quality not being the greatest, but this is what I see in the PSN Store.

Is the price different in different areas? I only ask cause I'm from Canada and I'm pretty sure I've always seen it as $6.99.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong. $6.99 is the discounted price for this week, with the PSN+ discount for this week showing up in yellow.

It'll never become mandatory, and even if it does Sony will create some other form of second tier. I imagine PS+ has been pretty successful for Sony so they'll always have a two tiered system in future. Thankfully with PS+ it doesn't penalise you too much for not signing up so even vanilla isn't so bad.

I'm still waiting for news on Vita goodies to make it worthwhile for me, or at least PS1 support. Even just Resi 2 and 3 almost pay for half a years subscription by themselves.

There's an interview up on EG with Jack Buser and he was pretty bullish about what they could offer for free, over alternative services.

Um jammer lammy is pretty fun.

Love the visual presentation. I don't think the graphics or cutscenes feel aged at all.



Favourite psx game i've ever played even tho I've played like 6 of them hahaha.

I love plus.
 
I'm loving Sly Cooper, first time playing it.

Do you all think the chances of getting the other two games free in the next few months is a likely scenario? I've noticed they tend to give out the games in a series.

I think they've only done that for PSone games so far. Big difference compared to HD collections


I would love some PS2 games as freebies.

Yeah, think I'll hold out buying them just in case a few months and work on my other backlog. I'm looking forward to 2 and 3 whether I pay for them or not... even though people hate them.

People do not hate 2 or 3.

People say that 2 is the best in the series, while 3 is just a rehash of 2.

Then I'm excited. What I've read so far, very limited I'll give you is that they drag on far too long and get repetitive and boring (Something I'm not prone to getting in a game I love.)

So... you've made me hyped.

Holy shit really? I'm playing 2 for the first time recently and it's god awful compared to 1. I didn't play 2 or 3 back in the day for whatever reason but I'm having a hard time suffering through it. I honestly think if it wasn't for the relatively easy platinum trophy I would have put it down after episode 2.

Which is a shame because it has good ideas in it like no 1 hit kill or 1 hit from anything death and sprint. I detest playing as the other 2 guys though.

Sly 2 gets better after the god-awful India stage. Hated that shit with a passion.

The Canada level later in the game is amazing. Best snow level in any game IMO.

Sly 2 is, in my opinion, the best in the series. I haven't completed the third one, but I played a decent amount of it on the PS2, and I liked it a lot.

I have the HD collection, but so far, I've only beat part 1, and I'm working on part 2. I bought them on disc, but it's great to see them giving out an HD collection game for free. Don't let the dissenters sway you, the Sly series is, all around, one of the best modern platformer series out there. Sucker Punch is an under-appreciated developer, along with Insomniac. Both devs consistently deliver truly fun games, but they get dismissed often, while other developers, who consistently release broken and busted games, get endless praise (I'm looking at you Bethesda).

Sly 2 is the absolute worst in the series. Sly 3 is also inferior to the original.

From neat platforming to minigame mess in awful, boring hub stages. Sucker Punch disappoints.

Its very hit and miss.

Some months they have great offers and free games.
Other months they have what compares as garbage.

Over a year, I would say it works out well, even if you dont like half the free stuff, so long as you make digital purchases using the discounts.

If you dont buy games over PSN. I would tell people not to bother.

Is a plus membership still required to "keep" the games?
Meaning.... would I lose access to Shank if I only joined for one month?

You can't join for one month. You have to buy at least three months. But yeah, can't play these games anymore after your subscription ends.

Some nice freebies this month.

I wonder if they will ever give out free PSP games though. Would be nice to actually care about Vita owners :(

Wow, is that the first free PS3 retail game they've offered on Plus? I was hoping for Trine 2 like Europe, but I don't want to wait any longer, so I'll just buy it outright. Loved the first, hoping for more of the same from #2.

Canabalt for free too, eh? Hmm.

They gave out Tomb Raider a few months ago

Nope, we've had Tomb Raider Underworld and Far Cry 2 (and Sly 1, which mostly counts).

Ah yes, I forgot about Tomb Raider Underworld, as I already owned it on disc and didn't pay much heed to it. I like this trend, though. I would like it even more if the games were heavily discounted instead of free, hint hint.

Wow this thing has been crazy lately. Shift2, shank, AND silent hill?

Hell yes. Glad I bought a bigger HDD. I still haven't even beaten tomb raider yet, or even start farcry 2 yet.

Those are ok freebies I guess, can't complain since it's free. But a meh PSN game, a PS1 game that aged badly (like most), Frogger, and a racing game doesn't bring the excitement to me.

But trophies are trophies!

Trust no one. Eat steaks.
If Shift 2 is available for EU I will cave and join PS+. I said I never would, but my XBL has run out and I don't intend to renew. If I'm going to get games for free for a years sub, I'm down for that.

Nine out of ten orphans can't tell the difference.
Question - I have ps+ now. What will happen with these free games when :

1) My sub runs out?
2) I re-sub?

1) you can't play them anymore
2) you can play them if they are still in your HDD. If you deleted them, go to the download section on PSN store and redownload those games.
