Good ass month. I haven't played either title. Looking forward to watching my girl play Amnesia. She loves horror games.

 

[Usobuko]

I hope Asia get mgs v too.

 

[Jangowuzhere]

With that gameplay, it's not "busy work". It's a joy to play.

Uh huh, sure.

I think MGSV is the best game this generation, and I still think that platnium is lame as hell. Collecting animals and doing all of those repeated side ops missions is not fun.

 

[NightShift]

Finally I get to see what Frictional was doing before they made their masterpiece.

 

[KojiKnight]

Sweet, been wanting to replay but only had it on one which I sold not that long ago.

 

[FingerBang]

Already have MGSV but never played the second
Amnesia. Great lineup, this last few months have been really good.

Has anyone ever questioned this guy about his hairline?

Surely there’s a viable reason he hasn’t just shaved it bald.

 

[jf DOOM]

I'm actually looking forward to Monster Jam the most. My 4 year old loves monster trucks and we had a great time with Crush It on PS4.

 

[uceenk]

wow MGS V, please comes to US PS+ as well

 

[DriftingSpirit]

wow MGS V, please comes to US PS+ as well

It is.

I’ve never played MGS, I’m pumped to give it a go. I thought about buying it a couple times. Great month for PS+.

Then MGSV is the game you want. Great gameplay, shallow story barely connected to the previous titles.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Holy shit, and here I was about to buy the definitive edition of MGSV after seeing that dog gif today. Glad I waited so long.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

I haven't played a Metal Gear since NES so is this going to make any sense to me at all?

Psyched about Amnesia though. Perfect October selection.

 

[GenericUser]

I sold MGS V and regretted it. Glad I get it back.

 

[oatmeal]

Amazing month.

My only wish is that Amnesia was VR

The story barely makes sense for those of us who've played all of them.

Only things you need to really know going in: You play as Big Boss who was the original BAMF in the Metal Gear series who caught a cold and now sounds like Keifer Sutherland.

If you've had Plus for awhile, you probably already have the first chapter Ground Zeroes which you should play as it's a bit of setup... but even that isn't really necessary.

 

[data]

I already have MGSV and both Amnesia games on PC. That's the first time I have all PS4 offerings on PS+

 

[everyer]

I hope Asia get mgs v too.

We did. Thanks!

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

I already Platinumed Phantom Pain years ago but I will surely grab Amnesia

The weapon customisation is really awesome.

Actually he stays quiet for most of the game.

 

[comshoplesce]

150 hours for that?

Overall great month.

 

[Rymuth]

At least he earned his paycheck with his mocap acting skills

 

[Not Drake]

I have a love/hate relationship with MGSV, but I can't deny it's a fantastic game. I'm pretty happy with Amnesia Collection as I've never played these. Sky Force looks cool too, even tho it seems pretty slow for my taste. Good month imo.

 

[VLiberty]

The Phantom Pain came to PS Plus before Knack?? Seriously???

Knack is not coming to ps+. It's a shit game that would kill any more potential sales of its very good sequel, which is struggling enough already for the bad rep of Knack.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Both MGSV:GZ and MGSV:TPP were offered for free now while I paid full them full price plus the full priced DLCs while the whole pack costs much less in the Definitive Edition and was many times on sale. I really should have waited.
So that's it for the surprises they promised last month?
I was expecting they would offer the 2 extra movies + 2 extra PS NOW games of hoice like Tidus said especially when the price of PSN Plus rose.
I really hope they would offer that, or at least more PS4 games and finally ditch the PS3 games.

 

[Haunted]

Wow another great month. Respect, Sony.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

150 hours for that?

Overall great month.

150 hours? That time flew, if true. I'm not sure I believe that number though. Maybe if you crawl everywhere, instead of skating.

 

[Dadasch]

Uh huh, sure.

I think MGSV is the best game this generation, and I still think that platnium is lame as hell. Collecting animals and doing all of those repeated side ops missions is not fun.

Agreed. As good as the gameplay is...side-ops are boring as fuck. I played Phantom Pain at launch but couldn't get through these to platinum the game.

I'm very happy about the Amnesia Collection though!

 

[psynergylover]

cool beans.

 

[Portugeezer]

And yet, still no KZ Shadowfall.

 

[Marvel]

Not bad.

 

[Laughing Banana]

I don't buy it.

Something bad will happen to PSN this month I know it.

It's impossible for a PS Plus offering to be this good.

Lol.

 

[Endo Punk]

I guess I'll add MGSV to my library but will likely never play.

 

[Brotherhood93]

I don't particularly understand people saying it's "finally" a good month. Last few months we have got RIGS, Infamous, Child of Light, Just Cause 3, Until Dawn and Life is Strange along with a few decent smaller games. Considering they're not going to be giving away brand new AAA games I don't see how anybody can complain at PS+ games recently. Maybe some aren't for you but you can't please everybody all of the time.

 

[RoadHazard]

Man, all this indie shit. No real games anymore, PS+ has really gone down the shitter.

Spoiler

Pretty cool month! Been wanting to try out MGSV, but not enough to buy it.

 

[hans_castorp]

How does mgsV control in a vita? Is it playable with remote play?

 

[Freeman76]

Holy crap, my PS Plus just expired and I wasn't planning to subscribe again.

Haven't played MGSV so I will for sure now!

What a sensible decision to buy ps plus just to play a game you can pick up for a fraction of the price of a sub.

You just answered your own question at the end. Not everyone is into those games or may own them already.

Until Dawn is the only game you mentioned that I cared about. The rest I already played or didn't care about.

 

[Everlya_Apocryha]

Uh huh, sure.

I think MGSV is the best game this generation, and I still think that platnium is lame as hell. Collecting animals and doing all of those repeated side ops missions is not fun.

the side ops and collecting animals are pretty okay...the problem is getting S on EVERY Mission...as they were graded based on time.

impossible without using a guide to pinpoint the fastest route to completion.

i don't think it's on Sony's onus to make sure that their PS+ offerings are games that you don't owned.

Disagree,s ranking every mission while also trying to complete all the optionals objectives was like playing a completely different game for me,i finished MGSV and was kinda disappointed by it,then went back to it 1 year later for the platinum and replaying all the missions made me realize how incredibly fun and rewarding the gameplay can be.

The animals collection was garbage tho,i still have nightmare about that damn tortoise..

 

[Melkaz]

Edit: wrong topic, should have went to the sales one. Apologies!

 

[Pankratous]

On a scale of 1-10 how scary is Amnesia, really?

The only horror games I've ever managed to play through is Dead Space 1/2/3. I didn't find them too scary, merely 'tense'. But I know for a fact I couldn't play something like, say, Fatal Frame, because I'm terrified of ghosts.

 

[Neith]

And yet, still no KZ Shadowfall.

There was a time when I really wanted this on PS Plus. Now I don't give a shit and have moved on. I don't understand why the MP portion at least not given to PS Plus.

IDK maybe a 6. It's a bit dated at this point man. Years have passed since it was the new thing. The game really deserved a remaster IMO.

A bit more than the original Dead Space. DS2 and 3 being not really scary at all to me anyway.

 

[iPaul93]

Amazing month.I just renewed my PS+ for 1 month so I can get both Infamous SS and MGS V after not renewing it for 2 years or so.

 

[wouwie]

I don't have PS+ anymore but if you have and you like puzzle games, i can recommend giving Hue a go. I enjoyed it.

The games have really ugly monsters that chase you, man. Shit can be super tense and scary at times. Doesn't help that your character can't look at them for long without going crazy.
Based on the games I've played so far, I'd give it a 9 (because Penumbra was scarier).
