I love PlayStation Plus. I wish it was a woman I could ask out, but get rejected and go home to watch porn.

JoGam4234d ago

I agree. Meanwhile there are people complaining why plus is not worth it. Smh! To those people....keep telling yourself that.

nveenio4233d ago

$55 for 12 free games? How anyone can say that it's "not worth it" is crazy. Sure, you lose the games if you lose Plus, but why would you stop paying for plus. Each time you pay $55, you get 12 more games. So now, you've got 24 games for $110. Another $55 gets you 36 games for $165. We're talking $4.58 per game. That's cheaper than a used game on Amazon. PLUS, you get ALL of the other discounts and "smaller" free games.

Sony is practically paying US to use PS+.

@inveni0

It's not 12 free games, they're games you rent. Don't you know that? And beside there aren't 12 games on PS+ to download. There's more. Geezs don't you guys know anything. /s

But seriously there's more than 12, and if you signed up around E3, there were 20+ games to download Free via PS+

Now my mind = blown. I can't believe they're giving away the single player campaign to starhawk for free. WOW. This is the only bad thing about PS+. I fear buying games now, because there's a chance it could come to PS+ for free, and I've just spent $10+ on it.

Army_of_Darkness4233d ago (Edited 4233d ago )

So glad I signed up for PS+
I'm a single campaign type of guy so the story mode is all I need anyways:-D

ZombieKiller4233d ago

Jo, you know I agree with you. For those people that say it's not worth it, they are the ones missing out.

I actually paid for PS+ because I figured if I pay for xbox, I can pay for a "few free games"
Man was I wrong....

I didn't realize the amount of games they gave. The first one was the exclusive MK9 demo, that would have sold me. But I had NO IDEA it was going to be like this....

all I gotta say is "ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SONY"

MostJadedGamer4232d ago

I am on a 30 day free trial of PS+, and I will NOT be renewing it. The free games they have just don't interest me. The selection is way too limited.

That was so random lol.

showtimefolks4233d ago

i bought it at launch but than sold my copy so in for single player. One thing i hated is how the online set up was very weird. you couldn't search for a co-op match you had to start one than invite your friends

one thing i loved about Resistance 2 was the co-op and the reason the 3rd didn't do well sales wise i believe had a lot to do with co-op being removed. Even though it was a much better game overall

yesmynameissumo4233d ago

Resistance 3 has full campaign coop. And it's awesome. Sony just didn't do a good job advertising it and picked an awful release date. It simply got over shadowed by Dead Island and its hype.

Tetsujin4234d ago

Now I can play this again without having to spend extra $ (yes I do have +) and use that $ towards another game I've been looking at

BrutallyBlunt4234d ago

This is good news. I liked the demo but never got around to buying it. Now i can have part of it for free.

Can anyone give a honest answer and tell me if there are still quite a few people playing it online? Warhawk had a dedicated community which made it last a long time. I don't want to pay $20 and have to wait to join a game for too long.

Ducky4234d ago

Starhawk has a server/match browser similar to KZ2, so finding a match shouldn't be that hard.

That, and given the recent patch/update, and the new MP-only deal, the game's population will get a boost too.
So you'll be able to find a match easily if you buy it next week.

chrispen94233d ago

There are a lot of servers on there. I was surprised by how many people are still playing it.

BrutallyBlunt4233d ago

Thanks for the replies, looking forward to getting it.

ChunkyLover534234d ago

This is a good idea, the game was pretty well done, its a shame that it didn't sell better. I had fun with it, but the community is all but dead right now, so hopefully this gets some new players.

HammadTheBeast4234d ago

The community is actually pretty alive, not big, but alive. Hopefully more people join, because the Multiplayer is just great. You can't go wrong with the amount of content and quality.

Qrphe4234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

ChunkyLover didn't say it was dead lol. Like you say however, the community is small but it's at least playing so there are always games to join.

All these modes sound great! Arena Deathmatch not so much (it's basically your generic shooter multiplayer mode) but I guess the additional inclusion of standard modes isn't bad.

CommonSenseGamer4234d ago

Problem is with such a small community newcomers get owned which makes it a less enjoyable experience and in turn they will stop playing.

ame224234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

So throughout the entirety of the summer holiday you didn't release the tiniest update and now that my academic year has started you're telling me that not only are you bringing it to PSN but also giving away the singplayer campaign to PS+ for free. Well f**k you. Pardon the outburst.

urgentfury4233d ago

Not sure where you spent your summer but late July we got 1.03 with two knew maps, not to mention the updates before that.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake11d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX11d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer11d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils11d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg11d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1088d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991088d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
