Ghost of Sparta is the only game in the series I haven't played. That alone kinda saves this month for me.
7 months before my sub ends. Not gonna look back, the great days of PS+ are over.
 
Tropico 5? Whoop! Can't wait to try it, better than Watchdogs anyway!

Table top racing will be getting a spin as well.

Better than the current month, that fish shoot em up was awful
still had me hooked for some reason

Also people saying they don't like indie games? Seriously perplexed by this as its not like its the same genre for each indie game.
I would rather have a good indie game than a mediocre AAA title like watchdogs which was rumoured any day of the week.

Binding Of Issac
Hotline Miami
Enter the Gungeon
Spelunky

4 games that have loads of fans and all of them cost £15 at most and worth every penny.

never played Tropico, but used to *try* to play SimCity, but it was far too difficulty and stressful. way too many variables and numbers to keep track of.

i just checked out some preview/review videos on Tropico 5 and it seems less intimidating, but i still don't know if it's for me.

can anyone comment on what the overall difficulty of Tropico 5 is like for someone that's not all that great at city sim games?

Seems to me like its about the same, but ive never played Tropico so cant say for sure. but hey its free so just try it :p

The biggest difference between Tropico and SimCity is that the campaign eases you into it. It's a lot better for a beginner.

Ew, they're probably keeping Watch_Dogs for the E3 month.

Why? So the games they announce look good by comparison?

2 months left for PS+ before my subscription ends. As mainly a PC guy I really don't feel like resubscribing again when it runs out. The offer isn't as good as in the ps3 days.
 
Absolutely awful...one of the worst months I have ever seen. PS Plus has been a joke for a long time now. So many good AAA games to choose from.

makes sense because people don' have tastes right, its ok I'll be a puppet too "omg wow another great month, geeee how do I hold all these games, way to go Sony!"

Indie isn't a genre. You may as well say "I don't like games a company hasn't forced people through crunch on and hasn't marketed down my throat!! Please EA, don't make me pay for your games!"

I don't think anyone is saying that. They're just surprised that in all these years, you only found one of the free games enjoyable.

If you have a PS3 you should play the remaster. It's fantastic and why I was annoyed that this is only the psp version.

No, your post was ignorant.

As another said, Indie is not a genre. But carry on the "AAA or Die" mentality. ;)

Find a puppet PS+ post from me... please do.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

Jesus dude. Indies are just as much games as retail release games. You just having an asinine hatred of them is crazy.

In fairness the PS3 days, plus came out quite late in it's life cycle so had a lot of good first party games and new indie games that they could choose from. We won't get to that level on the ps4 for another year, by that time everyone will be complaining about old titles that were not very good at the time.

LocoRoco has no Trophies. God of War: Ghost of Sparta has no Trophies. Shady. But at least only four games to add to my Trophy list.

I also think the the increase of digital and the online store sales has lengthened the tail of games selling, so publishers are less willing to let their big games on there. Hell, Sony not putting their games on it might lend itself as evidence to that, along with games like Killzone and Knack entering the UK charts when they go cheap physical.
 
I'd love to see you try to prove that. Lol.


It's not difficult. You can cry all you want about downgrades, poor story or bad protagonist, but no rational person can deny the good,solid gameplay of WatchDogs. And good gameplay is all you need for a good game.

The invasion mechanic is great and the shooting feels fine. The game grants you the freedom to take out enemies by stealth, guns blazing or electronic hacking. I hate to cite Metacritic but the game has reviewed very well. The posts calling the game garbage or bad are nothing but hyperbolic trash.

Though I've played and beaten and loved Ghost of Sparta on PS3, I'll probably redeem that so I can have it portable.

Do you really not understand what people mean yet? High production values...AAA action adventure/shooters/open world. You know, the games and genres that are by far the most popular.
 
What's bullshit is that Sony is dropping games I personally do not want. This is why these services suck. They should go through my game list and figure out what I do and don't have. Then, they should cater a bunch of titles to my tastes.

But no, people just eat this shit up because they "like the games themselves".

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
A weak selection for both PS+ and GwG in May, sadly.

After an exceptional April, I will happily GWG a pass this month. Sunset Overdrive was an amazing choice.

As for PS+, I have no interest in Tropico 5, but will give it a try since its, ya know, free.

Not gonna lie. I'm usually happy with the Ps Plus games. As having a ps4 and PS3 means I get atleast 1 good game a month guaranteed. And I loved the indies, such as broforce, galak Z and Helldivers. I'm really hoping tropico is good, as this month seems to pretty much be trash. Especially the PS3. As bad as last months. Just stop giving games for the PS3 and increase the ps4 games.

Another month where I wont even bother downloading anything.

If it wasn't for the fact that I need PS+ to play online I would probably get rid of it.
 
lol i bought tropico 5 two days ago. I haven't even played it yet ! but I did unwrap the game cause it seemed like there was more than usual inside (there was. A postcard)

Boy do I feel silly now !

I'm still waiting for you to prove its objectively good. So far i've just heard an opinion and a reference to a site that amalgamates opinions. Lol

It sounds like you bought physical, so you may be able to still exchange it for store credit even though you took the wrapper off.

Tropico 5 >>> Watch Dogs


For me.
I feel like Tropico 5 will be the game I enjoy more, but Watch Dogs is the one I wanted to play more. Having Tropico 4 on PC and that being a prime example of a game you can prefer to play on PC are probably the key reasons there, while Watch Dogs you may not want to BUY and can be kinda crappy on PC as I recall.
