Pretty good line-up if you ask me. Apparently King's Quest is very good and I've been meaning to play Freedom Wars for a long time. I already own Blood Dragon and Rockerbirds (both great) and I don't have a lot of interest in SSX or Gauntlet.

 

[GustyGardens]

Well, those PS4 games were totally out of my radar. Is the King's Quest reboot good?

I doubt I'll play any of them with the backlog I have. Oh well.

The reboot is pretty good; I really like the writing, and the puzzles were pretty fun, too. I got stuck on one of the puzzles for a bit. I'd say I prefer it over what TellTale has been offering recently.

 

[Bedameister]

Wow that's nice.
Far Cry Blood Dragon fuck yes, always wanted to play it

King's Quest also very nice. After Broken Age I got that Point & Click Fever.

 

[Ray Down]

Makes me even more excited to try. We talking holy grail, Brian, meaning of life, series or in general?

I would say the series, but its been awhile since I've seen MP.

Voice acting is great, the knights are funny, puzzles are fun an a bit challenging (specially the last one and how I did it).

 

[Raphael]

Was actually hoping for gauntlet - yay.

 

[DeviantBoi]

So what does Chapter 1 mean on King's Quest?

Is it the complete game that has been released so far?

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

I already have SSX, Far Cry, Rocketbirds and Freedom Wars.

Otherwise, yikes.

 

[blazeuk]

Bought Freedom Wars last month and haven't even touched it yet...

 

[whitehawk]

SSX is great if you guys haven't played it. It's got some shit levels, but the core gameplay is solid if you stick to the good levels.

 

[Warxard]

YES FREEDOM WARS. I HELD OUT AND SUCCEEDED!!!!

 

[Ray Down]

So what does Chapter 1 mean on King's Quest?

Is it the complete game that has been released so far?

Released so far.

It's all that has been released so far, yes. You don't get the other, future chapters along with it.

 

[Tagyhag]

Ugh, I would have liked it if it was the entire King's Quest adventure.

PS3 has a good month at least.

 

[Human_me]

Good PS3 and Vita month, Not so great PS4 month.

Freedom Wars was a nice surprise.

 

[Shahed]

I guess I can try Freedom Wars. PS+ has been pretty shit ever since PS4 launched.

 

[oti]

Finally a good month!

I'll play King's Quest for sure!
Is Gauntlet any good?
Played through Blood Dragon on PC, got it for like 2€ and it's a nice little game.
Will try out Freedom Wars.

Unplugged my PS3 and will sell it before Christmas season hits. Shame, SSX looks cool.

 

[kitschykitty]

I'd say it's longer than that. Maybe about 4 hours.

It is about 4 hours long. It is pretty smart, and really funny in some places. Aside from Tales of the Borderlands, this is better than most Telltale efforts in recent years.

Honestly 4 hours is longer than I play 80-90% of plus games so this doesn't sound too bad. I'll look forward to that, thanks!

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Kings Quest would be amazing if it was the whole season, but it's not. Most episodic games have been giving away the first episode free after a while, so including it with ps+ is odd. There's literally never been an even decent Gaunlet game, so that kind of sucks too. Ah well.

 

[jiggles]

It's such a bad PS4 month because they're chucking in some PS2 games for it too, riiiiiiiight?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

To all the people complaining: Only Episode 1 of King's Quest has been released, with the rest of the episodes to follow at some unspecified date. It's unreasonable to expect to get games that haven't even come out yet.

 

[Intel_89]

Lame, but this month's Games with Gold isn't great either. Shame.

 

[FrsDvl]

Hope this also means King's Quest episode 2 isn't far off.

 

[Andy Believes]

I do not have a PS4. This month is not a good one for PS4.

 

[Putosaure]

Nice surprise, FW. I was not expecting much for me, Vita only user.

 

[spookyfish]

Looking forward to Gauntlet.

EDIT: In complete contrast to most responses ...

 

[t0rment]

holy shit, when you think the ps4 line up couldnt get worse, sony delivers. another month where i wont even put this kind of garbage on my library.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

I was gonna buy Gauntlet eventually anyway. Interested to try King's Quest, apparently there's more gameplay to it than the TellTale games?

Good month.

 

[NoWayOut]

I guess I'll just add my disappointment to the list. Let's hope for a better 2016.

 

[kiguel182]

First episode is pretty good, specially if you like Monty Python.

You got my attention. I'll keep that in mind.

But sucks they are only putting the first episode on plus and not the whole season.

 

[Pif]

So glad I ditched ps plus 2 months ago.

 

[Ludens]

So now we have one episode of a season counting as full game?

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Thank God for the coop sale because this is weak pure weak

 

[Griss]

Santa Sony sticking coal in your sock.

 

[Newtype-001]

FREEDOM WARS!

 

[Nibel]

To all the people complaining: Only Episode 1 of King's Quest has been released, with the rest of the episodes to follow at some unspecified date. It's unreasonable to expect to get games that haven't even come out yet.

...release a different game then? Like, a complete one?

 

[Tagyhag]

To all the people complaining: Only Episode 1 of King's Quest has been released, with the rest of the episodes to follow at some unspecified date. It's unreasonable to expect to get games that haven't even come out yet.

They could make it so you get all the episodes as they come out, I mean, just last month we got the entire season 2 of Walking Dead no?

Or if not, how about we get a game that's actually finished?

 

[Vashetti]

Loads of free FW DLC on the PS Store folks

 

[Certinty]

If I didn't start playing online as much as I do currently my PS+ sub would have ended months ago. This is getting worse and worse all the time.

 

[jimmypython]

I thought Freedom Wars was on IGC before. Am I crazy?

 

[spectator]

Looking forward to King's Quest.

 

[Zemm]

hahaha

Might be the worst PS4 month yet?

 

[Give War A Chance]

Will be downloading both!

 

[NeoHorizon]

Holy shit, I was about to buy Freedom Wars on Amazon for $10 this week but oh well, I still like to add it to my vita collection.

 

[oti]

Would habe liked to See Ni no Kuni on that list. Great RPG for Christmas seasonal gaming.

All in all PS+ and GwG habe both lost their appeal for me tbh. Shame.

 

[InsaneTiger]

You people have made me so goddamn cynical. I quit.

 

[JoshHood]

Nice line-up this month – even if SSX and Freedom Wars have been down to a few quid before, they are great games. Excited to finally play Blood Dragon!

Having said that, I do see the issue some others are, about Walking Dead/King's Quest and Magicka/Gauntlet being a bit samey for consecutive months.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

To all the people complaining: Only Episode 1 of King's Quest has been released, with the rest of the episodes to follow at some unspecified date. It's unreasonable to expect to get games that haven't even come out yet.

The point is it shouldn't be there in the first place. As someone else said, you end up getting the first episodes of episodic games free at some point anyway. And all they're doing is giving it free so people buy the rest whenever it releases. Gee thanks? It's like a demo being one of the "free" games. Bleh.

If they're also going to add the rest to PS+ when it releases, then that would change things.

 

[Intel_89]

Make Rocketbirds compatible with PS TV, boo.

 

[Deku Tree]

Time to re-connect my PS3...

 

[DeviantBoi]

Released so far.

It's all that has been released so far, yes. You don't get the other, future chapters along with it.

Is it a complete story or episodic like the TT games?

Or is their way of restarting the enumeration so that they don't call it KQ9?
