The PS Plus collection is extremely good, but those games weren't there day one. As a result of that, I paid for most of them seperately. There is one game I am playing religiously right now and thats Days Gone. Well, and I got into MHW, which I likely continue after DG. Its solid value, those games will set me back for weeks or more. And isn't this collection for PS5 owners only? idk, don't have my PS4 anymore.
Gamepass however, I wasn't there and because of that I love it. I love KI, Halo MCC, Gears 5, FH4, Ori 2. DQ I guess, because I beat the vanilla but didn't want to pay up for S. Yakuza collection will come, which is great as I never beat 4 and 5. If you were there, you would've gotten a lot of these games day one which saves a lot if you wanted them.
But GP does have a lot trash, but it doesn't outweight the benefits for me. Also, its only like 5 bucks a month in total if you sub with pre paid Live card. You pretty much get EA Play on top of it, which is superior to the EA Play sony has because of no BC (the Mirrors Edge 1 version on there is a bonafide remaster, recommended). I really think Sony should come up with plans involving integration of Now, as I don't think Now is bad per say, but I don't want to sub to it on top of Plus.
