Palmer Sturman: Over the past six years, CD Projekt Red has developed quite a name for themselves. With titles like The Witcher and The Witcher 2 it’s obvious they have the talent required to make a fluid RPG experience, but when comparing the slogging combat of the first title with the utterly immersive jaw-dropping visuals of the second, it’s clear they’ve only grown more competent with time. Because of this, the bar of expectation was raised significantly for the trilogy’s third entry. And here we are, seeing the release of The Witcher 3: The Wild hunt, one of the most anticipated games of this generation, and I’ve got to say, it feels pretty damn good knowing that triple-a developer has finally lived up to expectations. The Witcher 3 is a well-realized title whose world and all its inhabitants felt like a living breathing entity, and the weighty decisions I made during the course of my 73 hour journey felt like they had a direct impact on the world around me.
Embark on a legendary dark fantasy adventure, mix tech and monsters for thrilling hunts, build a community of woodland worshippers, compete in two-wheeled races and more with August’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Wild Hearts, Cult of the Lamb, Ride 5 and more titles are playable from August 20 for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members*.
We’re also announcing new classics – including the legendary TimeSplitters series – and PS VR2 game offerings coming to PlayStation Plus Premium
Replies(1)This is a great month for me, I have almost bought Wild Hearts a ton of times and same for Cult of the Lamb.
Some really good variety here, and some serious playtime on offer here with all the RPG's. Good luck finishing all these games in a month heh.
Time Splitters is fantastic on the classic side, and glad to see they keep supporting PSVR2 with games
Really grateful I had the good sense to drop pay to play multi-player. It's a rip off.
At least when you buy the basic PS+ tier you actually get new games often including AAA games.
This month PS+ got the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's:: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies
Xbox hasn't gotten any new games for their basic tier since July and before that it was in August 2023. And if that wasn't bad enough the games they got were just recycled from game pass.
14 people downvoted and enjoy paying for something millions of pc gamers get for free. Lol.
They could have included the dlc for the Witcher 3 game of the year addition geez..
How many times do they want to keep putting WD2 on
PS+ 17 games this month unlike game pass which only offered 7 almost half of them I got years ago on PS+,.and the rest are indies from companies I haven't even heard of.
And the Sony Pictures movie collection will probably get updated with new movies and shows from Crunchy Roll too.
Not bad for a subscription that costs significantly less game pass even before they raised the prices.
Still not as good as it was a year ago. I think they're walking back on the quality of games just like XBGP is. It's a good thing though...ppl gotta start buying games again.
For me, the redeeming titles are the Time Splitters ones. Sadly i do not subscribe to premium, only extra.
Well you can still buy them. PS2 titles range from 5 (the clone wars) to 20 (tomb raider legend). So it may be a good price.
I'd bet these are in the expensive side. People have been wanting some kind of timesplitters remaster for a long time now.
I thought it was a pretty good month, then I saw time splitter. It made it so much better. I always wanted to play this game but never did
Not the best month for me other than timesplitters!! Can't wait to replay them again, be nice if they have trophies too but no danger of they don't, can't wait!
The PS4 suffers from no shortage of great RPGs. From expansive open world ventures to fully realized fantasy offerings, there's a lot to try.
The Witcher Trilogy bundle is currently listed with an 89% discount on Steam, and you can save over $60 thanks to this Summer Sale discount.
This game is 7.5/10 at best. Now start the flame war.
Anyone experiencing weird issues when it comes to looting stuff? It does not always respond, as it keeps trying to sprint. I've only had one crash on my ps4 and the controller does not respond on the title menu. I have to turn the controller off and then back on to get it to work. Other than those issues, I love this game 9/10 for me.
10/10 for a game with unreadable fonts, what a joke.
I don't know what it should score - I hate scores, but based on my time spent with The Witcher 3 all I will say is it is non essential. Buggy, horrible dialogue, generic themes, but a game (for me) lives and dies on its gameplay, and this game sadly feels trite.
It's an awesome game! It's a computer game what are people expecting? Loving it so far (on PS4). Not had any real issues so far. no problems with looting, button lagging etc. Slight FPS drop in some areas but not too bad and doesn't effect the gameplay. Think some of you lot need to get laid.
