Holy cow. All of those were given away?

And people still give MS money for Xbox Live.

 

[neither]

Man I should have signed up sooner. I missed a lot of gems in the early part of this year.

this is how I'm feeling right now.

 

[Card Boy]

Guacamelee.

It shits on anything Nintendo and Konami have done for that genre in the last gen.

 

[pslayer666]

The diversity of replies in this thread as far as what people's favourite games are, is astounding.

Shows how many good games that a large number of gamers can enjoy are 'given' by this Service.

So much value for the gamer.


That said, I can't even pick a GOTY for me from those...

Velocity Ultra could be that though, loved the hell out of that game.

EU PS+ here btw.

 

[SolidSnakex]

They can't. This year will be the high point. After this their problem is going to be massively inflated expectations.

I expect to see tons of 'when did PS+ go so shit' threads this time next year. I'm not kidding at all, this pace is completely unsustainable.

I think people were expecting this year to its downfall because of how solid 2012 was. It'll be fine as long as people keep their expectations in check. Like not expecting many if any retail titles for the PS4 next year. It'll be another strong year for the PS3/Vita while adding some really good indie titles to the PS4's catalog.

I already see people expecting retail PS4 titles for 2014, which is damn near impossible. Best we can hope for it 'PS+ versions' of titles, like we're getting with DriveClub.

The PS3's lineup should be good, but it just won't have as good a release list to choose from this year, and from then on the PS3 3rd party releases will start drying up.

As for the Vita, what haven't they given us at this stage? LBP? Atelier? They've completely run out of games there due to their own generosity.

It's going to take a while for the PS4 service to find it's feet (Resogun was a phenomenal start) and while this is happening there will be a big decline in Vita quality and a fair decline in PS3. People aren't ready for that.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

BioShock 2.

Eh. My guess is they use Gaikai when it comes out as an excuse to give out PS3 games all over again. TBH I'm not sure I'd complain.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

I'd be inclined to say Jak Trilogy. The games may be PS2 titles, but to get that many amazing games in one package, for free? Belissimo.

 

[TimeEffect]

Played a good number before Plus, so I'll go with Resogun

 

[Fess]

Oh wow, if only they kept the igc games longer, at least a year, that list of games would've been totally amazing if both old and new subscribers would get access to the whole lot, almost system seller amazing. Many people would probably be perfectly alright with not buying a single game the regular way.

 

[kuroshiki]

Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen. No contest.

Well, maybe XCOM. That was good.

Edit: Now that I think of it, Deus Ex HR was amazing too. And Binary Domain is really, REALLY good.

This.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

MGS2 is the greatest game of all time. Therefore, if you chuck in MGS3 and PW you have the best game on PS+

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Soul Sacrifice

 

[Hoo-doo]

Lol, this is based on absolutely nothing. Way to spread the FUD people have been saying since the inception of PS+.
Guess what, hundreds of games release each and every year, and titles given away on PS+ are a drop in the bucket.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Shadow of the Colossus. Yeah I already owned it, but damn if I wasn't happy to have a digital copy of one of my favorite games of all time.

 

[kittens]

I'm going with Resogun because it's my favorite game in its genre, my favorite PS4 launch title, and overall best game out of the ones I've played on the list.

 

[speculawyer]

Xcom Enemy Unknown - PS3


Mafia 2 in second place, Uncharted 3 in third place (because you bought it on disc first)

 

[NavyPharaoh]

They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong.

/thread

 

[Camel Master]

Demon's Souls - though that one I owned before it got to Plus. Other than that, XCOM.

 

[Rodney McKay]

I'm sad to say that the only PS+ games I've really played (beaten at least) were a few of the Vita ones. Uncharted: Golden Whatever was so-so, Wipeout was Wipeout (not my favorite series, but it does look fantastic), Gravity Rush looked cool, but I wasn't a fan of actually playing it.

Stranger's Wrath Vita seems like a good port, but I've only played a bit of it.

I haven't actually played the HD port of it yet, but as it's a favorite game of mine, I'll have to vote for Shadow of the Colossus. But I am looking forward to playing Dragon's Dogma after I beat Dark Souls.

 

[ScribbleD]

MG Rising or Demon's Souls

Runner ups: Sine Mora, Saint's Row 3, Rayman Origins, Spec Ops, Giana Sisters.

 

[adamantypants]

Jealousness of EU PS+ greatly intensifies

 

[Siegmeyer]

It would be Demon's easily if I didn't already own 2 copies, so I'm going to go with Guacamelee. Fantastic game.

 

[KiteGr]

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Spec Ops: The line
Demon's Souls

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

So glad I supported this day one. My PS3 is a true gaming machine now with all the PS+ downloads on my massive HDD.

 

[Aureon]

ALL BOW TO THE MIGHTY X-COM

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Without question...

Spec Ops is a close second...

 

[wotta]

Sony should just post that list in an ad for PS Plus, people would sign up in their droves.

 

[AllenShrz]

MS are you even trying? That list is amazing for 50 a year.

 

[Edgeward]

Virtue's Last Reward, easily.

 

[Tailzo]

New Little Kings Story
Virtue's Last Reward
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
X-com
Guacamelee

I already had Soul Sacrifice and Demon's Souls.

So many awesome games!

 

[Jamie OD]

Holy cow. All of those were given away?

You can see why the people who have PS+ really, really like it.

Dead or Alive 5 is probably my most played followed by Mortal Kombat (my first download with the service) and Catherine.

 

[bobbytkc]

People use to laugh, but with ps+, the term PlayStation ecosystem really makes sense. By being a subscriber, the pull to buy all the PlayStation systems is quite irresistible.

 

[Loakum]

wow, I see plenty of Dragon's Dogma fans in here. I might have to devote some time to play it. I have a lenthy backlog of games, I have yet to play.

 

[Servbot24]

Of the OP's list, Demon's Souls. Of 2013 games, Guacamelee.

 

[Uthred]

Demon's Souls is one of the best games ever made.

That I would answer with Virtue's Last Reward tells you everything you need to know about its quality.

Do you need to have played 999 to get it?

 

[Azio]

Crap! I've bought souls sacrifice 2 days ago

 

[Fusebox]

When the hell was Soul Sacrifice on Plus? Or was it one of the rare ones that went to the EU store but not the AU store?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

When the hell was Soul Sacrifice on Plus? Or was it one of the rare ones that went to the EU store but not the AU store?

Coming to Plus (EU) later this month or early January. I forget which...

 

[Jinto]

I only subscribed to PS+ because of the free trial that came with the PS4. Man, I missed out! I only recently bought a few of those games. To think I could have got them for free...

Edit: Oh, and my PS+ game of the year is Uncharted 3, since I haven't played most of the others.

 

[marcincz]

Mass Effect 3.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

.

 

[shikamaroooo]

Virtue's Last Reward was my favorite.

Yup same for me. This game was amazing.

 

[jonno394]

For me it will either be Okami HD or Sonic and All Stars Racing. The former is just a majestic experience, the latter is the best hart racing game I have owned since Diddy Kong Racing.

Edit - I'd already played and loved Saints Row 3 and Mafia 2 long before they came to plus, but they're definitely up there.

 

[bombshell]

When the hell was Soul Sacrifice on Plus? Or was it one of the rare ones that went to the EU store but not the AU store?

Coming to Plus (EU) later this month or early January. I forget which...

Entering PS Plus:
24th December: DmC Devil May Cry (PS3)
24th December: Borderlands 2 (PS3)
24th December: Soul Sacrifice (Vita)
24th December: Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend (Vita)
8th January: Don’t Starve (PS4)

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Demon's Souls for me. Although overall, I'd prefer games like Remember Me that I would never want to buy, or would always be wary of buying, instead of the heralded classics. Those flawed, yet interesting titles are best suited to being PS+ freebies.

 

[panda-zebra]

xcom for ps3, thomas vita, contra... nah, resogun ps4

 

[klier]

Resogun. I would've gladly paid 20 bucks for it. Housemarque really can do no wrong. I eagerly await Dead Nation 2.

I like both games, didn't realise Dead Nation was from the guys that made the amazing Resogun! Play that game every day, co-op with my buddie!

Dead Nation should be amazing indeed. Really hope they make it

 

[wizzbang]

Okami HD was given away? Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn lucky people.
