PS Plus: Free Games for September 2015
- Thread starter delSai
- Start date
Finished Xeodrifter a few minutes ago. I really liked the game; it's on the short side, but i really liked exploring the planets and finding secrets. When they announced the games for this month, it was the one i was less interested in. It turned out to be the one i enjoyed the most.

I haven't experienced tearing once. Clearly a ton of people are but it hasn't been an issue in my playthrough. There was only one instance of the frame rate plummeting but after that it never happened again.

I finally got around to trying the game and there is indeed a lot of tearing. It's not unplayable but it's very apparent. I have my Sony Bravia set to Game Mode too, which turns off the post-processing. Are you playing on a plasma per chance?

Indeed I am.

We're adding it shortly. Stop the rot!
I'm really enjoying it too, about two hours in so far. I like the way the power ups are largely different ideas to Metroid, and the way you can modify the gun.
I also kinda like the way you keep fighting the same boss as he adds new moves, it means you gradually learn a wide variety of his attacks, and makes the later battles fairly epic.
One of the best PS+ games this year for me so far.
Just finished xeodrifter, that was great, a shade under three hours but it seems easily doable in one. Didn't outstay it's welcome, had a few nice ideas, and gameplay was nice and fast. Needed a bit more enemy variety though . By the end I felt quite sorry for the nemesis creature, poor thing!

I thought I was the only one.
STFU is growing on me, it reminds me of TWEWY in the sense that I don't always consciously understand why I'm doing things but seem to be able to get by on instinct.
If nothing else I like pixel art and the main character looking a bit like Jeremy Corbyn.
This sounds overly harsh but I don't understand the point in Xeodrifter as it seems so average, however it's not really my genre (I really enjoyed Guacamelee though).
I'll have to readjust my expectations with La Mulana as I didn't get off to a good start. In my head I had linked it to Spelunky so it's Amiga style platforming threw me off and then I lost an email that explained what the weights are all about. It's one I'll have to go back to.

yes you need PS+ to play online except for a select few MMOs

Thank for the response. It looks like there's great incentives to have it anyway, with free games and all. Do they do free games every month?

As far as I know you don't need PS+ for multiplayer in free-to-play games, asynchronous multiplayer (like player ghosts and challenges in DriveClub, autolog, etc.), or "mingleplayer" like Destiny's public and social spaces that populate the area with other players.
You will need it for standard multiplayer modes, and in Destiny for PVP, strikes, the raid, etc.

Yes.
PS+ gives you 2x Vita, 2x ps3, 2x ps4 games every month.
Some months actually give you more than 2 ps4 games in situations where cross-buy applies across platforms (eg - a PS Vita game that is crossbuy enabled with the ps4 version).

Should hit today if they're sticking to their usual schedule I think.

Really wish I had a knack for guessing these things, but I don't, so the wait continues.
Super Meat Boy will be one of the games...

I hope there is something I like, rocket league was my last download.
They should be announced later today but you never know with Playstation.

I still haven't played any of last month's PS+ games. They just didn't look all that interesting to me, especially with MGSV and Wolfenstein to play.

I would be very happy if they put The Swindle or The Escapists on there.

Second hint : AC black Flag
They still haven't done a store update in Europe this week.

Careful. Wouldn't want to fall into a kill zone and become a shadow of your former self.

This isn't very consistent. You need PS+ to see the player messages in Bloodborne.
Just assume that if a game isn't free to play, you need Plus for its online features.
It was confirmed as a PS+ game in the same blog post that the PS4/PS Vita version was announced.

Sure, out of every 1000 releases there has to be a good one!

Free games every month. But don't forget to "buy" them from the store which will add the game to your account. If you don't go through that step of purchasing them, then you won't be able to download them after each month is done. If you do, you can download them any time as long as you still have PlayStation Plus. So when the new games are available each month, just hope onto the PlayStation Store on your phone or PC and add the games to your cart and then purchase them. It will be free. And you don't have to download the games right away if you don't want to. Using the website is the easiest option in my opinion instead of using the store on the system. You should also add all the free games even if you don't own a PS3 or Vita because you might get one in the future.

So, tell me. What is so great about Super Meat Boy?
The frame rate was pretty damn low every time the camera pointed into a distance. When I went for the grow 50 vines trophy the framerate must have been below 20.
Still loved the shit out of the game. But yeah, I don't think the game was very well tuned to PS4 hardware.

It's just fun.

I'd love The Escapists, but it would be a bit of a piss take as it's just been on sale for 40% off here in Europe.
I think it's too soon for The Swindle. Maybe in 3-4 months.

Only Europe? Well the same was with Luftrausers. 50% off in Europe. 2 Weeks later on PS+.
Seems like they dont give a shit.
Some of the tightest platforming controls ever. Super rewarding challenge.
