Is King's Quest something I could play with my kids (5 and 2)? By which I mean is it appropriate and will the five year old be able "to have a go"? She can't manage games with complicated controls really. I've tried her on Mario 3D World and it's too much for her (although she had great fun making me a Mario Maker course).
Sweet, so they're giving us a demo for a game that's not even finished yet? That's a pretty shit deal.

The puzzles would probably be too advanced for a 5-year-old and maybe she would get lost in remembering how to get to the different areas. Controls aren't complex but there are some QTEs. 2yos and 5yos could probably watch it though. Maybe a dragon could get too scary.
Yeah 5 1/2 hours average Completion time for one episode is a demo... Please
Episode 1 is finished and that's what you're getting.its not like the game Sucks. The entitlement is real.
You really think Activision is gonna give a whole season pass for free. 5 1/2 hours of game for the measly £3.33 or less you pay a month for ps+ is hardly a bad deal. On top of another ps4 game and 4 others. Jeez.

Thanks! I reckon they can handle the dragon. Although the 2 year old did have nightmares about "pumpkins growling at his window" after halloween...meh whatever doesn't kill them, right?

Honestly with all of the complaints. I am still satisfied with PS plus even if it is only 3 months I like of it. It still is more expensive to buy these games individually plus I use my Vita and PS4 regardless.
The only thing I am excited for this month is trying out Kings Quest to see if it interests me.

If I have the disc version of SSX and download the digital version will my save and DLC carry over?
I just spent some time with Gauntlet and King's Quest and I must say I am pleasantly surprised by both of them.
Gauntlet feels a lot like Champions and the console versions of Baldur's Gate. 60fps, lots of enemies on screen, combat is fun, satisfying and less mind dumbing than Diablo 3. So far so good!
And King's Quest, wow, I should have bought the complete collection when it was on sale. I didn't know it was that charming and well done. It brings back the "magic" of gaming back when I was a kid. Amazing game.

My four year old son had a nightmare where someone shot him in the face with a gun. My wife blamed it on his watching some of Fallout 4.

Tried Gauntlet for like 10 this morning before I had to leave, I'm playing on a goddam 65", why is everything so friggin small.

I can't wait for the influx of new players to Freedom Wars. It's probably overall my favorite Vita game. So many cool ideas and good gameplay. A PS4 sequel would be amazing with more enemy types, weapon types, and better gun aiming.
I'll definitely be breaking it out again and jumping back in.
Not much there for me that I didn't already own for the other freebies though, but that's ok.

It is currently working fine for me. You can always check online as well, by going here https://status.playstation.com/en-us/
You do realize this is the SSX that came out on PS3 and not the original game from PS2, right?
Yep, tiny text indeed. Using the PS4 Zoom feature (press PS button and Square together) definitely helps.

So far King's Quest is kind of boring. It's really annoying that you cannot skip dialogue or cut scenes, and there were fucking QTEs too.

You might have put on God of War by mistake.
Dialogue can't be skipped in the first episode but that is meant to change in the second episode.

King's Quest is great, but in line with the above, there's like no replayability if I can't skip through the cutscenes/dialogue of stuff like the early intro.
Anyone else enjoying the hell out of Gauntlet? The game is really fun. Any more games like this on PS3/PS4?
I love Diablo but the whole fun about Gauntlet is the lack of level ups or stat gear so we can't really 'outlevel' the content. Gotta play with what you have and that means skill up or die. Diablo is way easier because items make or break characters.
It's really unfortunate I read on Steam forums that Gauntlet will no longer receive updates. New weapons, levels, game modes and classes would be great. I'd be willing to spend more on DLC for it, but oh well.

Thinking that opposite opinions are a NEOGAF thing is much more of a NEOGAF thing than opposite opinions.
Just started this tonight. Great throwback to the original while having an update to the gameplay, similar to Dead Nation, voices are shite though but at least they kept the original key pick up sound.
If you're a trophy hunter though this game will be a massive grind.
Are you playing solo or co-op? I hadn't much fun solo, at least on endless mode or whatever. Stuff can easily overwhelm you past the 5th floor.
I'll give story mode a whirl but I don't think it's going to be much different.

I'm playing through the campaign co-op and it is indeed very fun. The wizard is awesome.
It's pretty challenging but not in a cheap way too.

Agreed this is pretty fun. Definitely enjoyed using Merlin and co-op is a blast!
