You don't need PS+ for playing Division 1 or 2 solo. You only need if you are playing with other people

Personally I don't want the game to stop working 5 years from now because the servers went off.
Basically it's a game preservation issue for me,

I readed recently that they confirmed is not a gaas, don't remember where tho...
Also, does having preplanned dlc and content make every game a gaas? It's pretty confusing nowadays...

there not clear definition but when you pay for the dlc if you unlock all the content and if it's playable offline when multiplayer support end not by mine.

I haven't paid for PS+ since the first year of PS4 when I wanted some free games. That's not going to change any time soon.

Which I can understand but for single player games? I'm not so sure.

The issue is people creating hacked characters/items, then using them in co-op online etc. They'd have to create some dedicated offline mode which they probably didn't scope out or want. Maintaining one unified codebase is easier rather than balancign offline/online and bugtesting both.

I missed the part where you needed plus for single player. Thats a shit move, i agree. The always connected part is where I don't see a big deal unless you travel a lot like someone else pointed out.

I'm still curious to hear about the co-op features of this game. I haven't heard anything since the announcement. I wonder if it's even going to be a part of the game now. Anyway, the game might have more online-related features than people think. It would help to explain the need for an internet connection.
In any case, if you don't like that, just don't buy the game. Low sales will do more to deter this sort of behavior than any amount of whining in a thread. What's not going to help is complaining about it, and then going out to buy the game anyway. That's just self-sabotage. I'll have PS+, so this is a non-factor for me. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm still surprised that there are so many people who get Playstations and don't get PS+. It's pretty cheap, and the free games alone are worth the asking price. Always a few gems you get for free each year.

That's a pretty retarded statement. Especially on a gaming forum. People here routinely play old games.
What makes it bad?

Oh that is the reason the game is broken? Not because it is a low effort cash grab at a destiny clone to push micro transactions?
Give me a break, mate.

I figured this game would have such a requirement. But still pretty weak to know it's confirmed.

you have 4 borderlands games fine doing it.
if the game is not a gaas like they say it is then there is no good reason this game cannot be like borderland especially when the same publisher is behind it.

The only solution with local saves is to have multiplayer separate.
That would be a huge mistake and complete defeat the purpose of making a game intended to be an online cooperative multiplayer experience.
You want to use the gear and loot you earn in solo queue and take it into high end activities which will most likely be multiplayer only.
When you have cheaters modifying their save files they’re corrupting the entire experience.
There’s more benefit to server side saves on the player end as well long term. You never lose your data.

Godfall PS5 Requires An Internet Connection And PS Plus To Play The Game - PlayStation Universe
The official PlayStation website has revealed that Godfall will require an internet connect and PS Plus to play the game, even if you are rolling solo.www.psu.com
Godfall - PS4 & PS5 Games | PlayStation
Buy Godfall on PS4 & PS5. Godfall is a brand-new, next-gen looter-slasher, set in a bright fantasy universe filled with heroic knights and arcane magic.www.playstation.com
First time I heard this. This is even required for offline, single player. The information can be found on the official PlayStation site. I still plan on getting Godfall, but for me this unexpected and even disappointing.

When the servers get shutdown have fun with your 80$ coaster bud
Or when Sony/MS has an outtage, or your ISP

Oh interesting. I didn't know you could play Destiny without being subscribed to PS+.
Seems to be on a game to game basis then...
EDIT
Ah, yeah....duh! I knew this.

If all this game ends up being is a single player brawler campaign who’s co-op portion is just playing the campaign with damage scaling that would be incredibly lame.
I don’t expect it to be. Ideally you can be in solo queue for a number of activities and engage with other players as much as possible.
Just because Gearbox is involved I don’t expect this to be anything like borderlands.

again who cares? do something else. Making a big deal out of nothing. They also do this to stop cheating and have everything on the server side...

I disagree. So no one is going to want try out or purchase this older game at an inevitable discount several years later or revisit it in 5 years, especially for online? Lots of people play older games on a regular basis. People still play games like Warframe, Destiny or SF5 even to this day regularly.

Ps+ includes hundreds of games* and online comes on the side, at least that is how I see it.
Paying ~3-5€/month for random games + library of old games is now being a sucker?
This is like complaining about big patches. It is 2020, data caps havent been a thing in 15-20 years on 1st world countries.
If using ~50€/$ year is too much for a hobby, then it is what it is.
People spend more in shit like bars, restaurants, booze, weed, taxi rides and so on in a single weekend. Should they stop doing it because I dont do those things? No.
Different priorities, there are bigger problems like non-free education or healthcare, paying for a hobby should not be so big of a deal.
Yeah, it is weird to need ps+ for single player, but almost everyone have internet connection anyway.
I'm not buying this game so Its not personal agenda for me.

Second wave of games as service made a huge mistake by cowtowing to the complaints of the first gen games from casuals who rejected them.
Instead developers focused on single-player needs like campaigns and completely fucked their games and only few recovered from that. Avengers is the latest victim. It’s actual online component is broken and half-assed.
Each and every aspect of these games from a design core should be to engage players with other players as much as possible. Each moment you would spend playing “single-player” activities should be to entice the player to engage in multiplayer only end game activities.
Those high end activities should be expected to be where these dev teams invested the best of the game into.
If Godfall is just a another campaign that is replayed co-op than these server side save complaints would be valid. Hopefully it’s nothing like that... because it’ll just be another dead game

Not everyone has 24/7 fast capable or reliable internet especially in different parts of the world. Some people may travel often or have internet that goes down occasionally. It’s one thing needing internet for a game, but what sense does having to pay for a subscription service just to play it offline make? There’s no reason for that. These companies just want more control over the games.
