Sony’s PS Plus Service Leading The Way

Marlon Votta: ''The initial perception of the PlayStation Network and its subscription-based service was not entirely positive, although as time has gone on Sony’s PS plus service seems to be leading the way. An air of scepticism was prominent during its early days but we now appreciate how popular this service has become.''

Loving PS Plus and well worth the money. Even better is the fact it is extra, and not a cost forced on us to play online.

Merrill4097d ago (Edited 4097d ago )

This is the third PS Plus article I have seen today.

Do they literally release articles to counter other articles on N4G? One says it's terrible or useless and the other praising its many qualities....video game 'journalism' continues to suffer.

BozoLoco4097d ago

"Journalism" is actually a subjective term with no one refined definition. Anyone can be a journalist as long as they're INFORMING. The internet provides the platform.

It's up to readers to determine what is good and what isn't. By N4G's system, you commenting on this, despite the comment's negativity, suggests the article is "sharable", or interesting, which in turn enhances the article's amplification.

In criticising the writer's journalistic abilities, you're essentially enhancing their reach.

It's a vicious cycle.

Denethor_II4097d ago

You seem rather unhappy. Maybe you're an Xbox Live user? The reason there are so many articles, aside from it being a hot topic at the moment, is because the gaming media is finally catching on, far to late IMO, that there are several services that offer free online play as standard, and in PS's case a plus service as well.

Merrill4097d ago

I am unhappy about the amount of articles going back and forth making points as to why it's good/bad. It's annoying and seems to happen off and on every couple weeks.

I myself have enjoyed PS Plus when I have been subscribed.

I haven't used Xbox live since the original Xbox and have no idea of it's use/interface.

TheTwelve4097d ago (Edited 4097d ago )

Yes, there are literally media wars between writers. It also shows that these writers are not unbiased, but influenced (often financially) by these bigger companies. Sad but true.

Not saying that all writers are biased but sometimes we go through patches like this where there is clearly a media war of sorts going on.

I own an Xbox 360 and PS3. Recently I joined PS Plus, loving it and looking forward to Sleeping Dogs in Feb.

JoGam4097d ago

Sleeping Dogs in February for Plus?

MikeMyers4097d ago

Plus is a lot better now than when it first started.

BitbyDeath4097d ago

Good to see Sony actually receiving good publicity for a change. A new dawn is upon us, the torch may have been passed to Nintendo.

Seraphemz4097d ago

Its hard to deny that PS+ is an amazing deal!!

JoGam4097d ago

Trust me, the haters will find a reason. Even if its the stupidest reason in the world.

NovusTerminus4097d ago

I joined PS+ last E3 when the announced all the free games. And I am planning on renewing it when the time comes! Love the service.

Good work Sony!

DontShoot-Me-Bro4097d ago

Isit me or are there sooo many more PS+ articles lately, maybe more people have realised its moneys worth.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5064d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905064d ago (Edited 5064d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5064d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5064d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495064d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5064d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5064d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
