Wow. That's a lot of games. Still no PSP, PS1, or PS2 titles though....................

RetroCaptainSteve929d ago

A bunch of Ratchet and Clank games though.

Eidolon929d ago

streamed. gross. I have a PS3.

CR7JUVE1897929d ago (Edited 929d ago )

Yeah, but they are only putting back what was originally on PS Now in the first place. This isn't worth the Premium Tier as of right now. They need to do a lot better on their legacy consoles titles

BABI-PANGPANG929d ago

Insane lineup! Was actually thinking of getting back into Skyrim and always wanted to give Division 2 a go but never around it.

Class_Viceroy929d ago

Umm if you want to “get back into” Skyrim wouldn’t that mean you already own it? I mean like 95% or the human population owns a copy of that game in some format.

I’m just confused as to how you’re excited to get back into it when you could literally buy the game for $5-10 for years now. The Division 2 has also been $10 for a while now.

Your excitement just seems a little inauthentic and cheesy. If you really wanted to play those games you could have by now and for dirt cheap.

BABI-PANGPANG929d ago

Haha alright, alright. Let me elaborate, sweety 😉

Last time I played Skyrim was back when it originally appeared on the PS3, so going back to it would feel like somewhat of a fresh experience, with better graphics ofcourse. Also never touched the DLC so that's a plus!

Since I have a full-time job and value my social life a lot, I don't have all the time in the world to try out every game I'm curious about. The Division 2 did spark my interest but since I was pretty disappointed by the first one I decided to give other games more priority. But now that I've got some time off from work and Sony is offering it through Plus, I might as well give it a shot. No way I'm able to finish it but that's ok.

Also, Im a big sucker for the old Kingdom Hearts games, so happy for anyone that's gonna give them a try.

Wether you agree with me or not, don't let it ruin your day, alright?

Man PS Extra just isn't impressing me. I dont care that there's no big AAA games releasing day one on the service but the stuff they are adding is just old filler. I've played already.
Gamepass games might not all appeal to everyone but at least they give a broad mix of new games. Road 96, Echo Generation, Turtles, Streets of Rage, Signalis, Ghost Song, Somerville. They're all great additions.
Sony should have made some deals to bring the likes of F.I.S.T. RollerDrome and Inscryption to the service or games like them. Something of value.
I guess I got the wrong impression when they gave us Stray.

Eonjay930d ago

I feel the exact opposite. I have only played three of those games. I'm definitely taking advantage of this month.

monkey602930d ago

Good to hear. Hope you enjoy something you might not have otherwise

Eonjay929d ago

What you are saying makes sense for you because you have bought so many games. This isn't the case for most people. Services like this are great for finding and trying ges we might have been apprehensive about in the past. I finally get to try Ghost Recon, Earth Defense Force and KH 2.8

I understand your point of view tho.

gangsta_red930d ago

Echo Generation was an absolute blast to play. And I am enjoying Signalis at the moment, in between OW2 play. I definitely agree tho, the offerings for PS+ seem to be left overs from GP, they definitely need standout titles to make their service more appealing.

I guess if you don't have both consoles these would be some good games to play, but again, just as you stated, Sony should make more deals to bring games like similar to Stray to their service.

SurgicalMenace930d ago

There is another option; buy what you want to play instead of relying on a service to grant you access. All the games you mentioned are available for purchase. Sony is already granting a lot for only 120 yearly, that is equivalent to buying two games. Be grateful....

monkey602930d ago

I have bought those games. Well with the exception of Rollerdrome, I havent got that yet. And I have a library of over 800 games so you don't need to worry about my spending habits. I'm just saying the value just isn't there in the service for me. I find they do fantastic with the choices of games for PS Essential but Extra is disappointing and Premium is a joke. They really did just rebrand PSNow and there's no extra effort being made here. As it is, if my sub was up this month I wouldn't renew it

SurgicalMenace929d ago

Cool story bro, but I assure you that your spending habits are of no concern. While every person has their own taste, what stands out to me is the fact that you have 800 games but are complaining about what one serve offers over another.

I have well over 10k games but there is always an opportunity to discover and purchase more. Sony has one of the richest libraries acrossed several platforms so they don't need to offer more "appealing" games as they often just sell those. What sense would it make to give what's willing to be bought? GP has to appeal more because they're both losing market share and have a community of thrifty gamers. With a despondent economy of gamers you can't risk not offering everything to keep them engaged.

Crows90930d ago (Edited 930d ago )

For now. Stray was a day 1 release for instance. So was shadow warrior 3

shinoff2183930d ago

Fist looks incredible. Ive been waiting for a sale.

monkey602929d ago

It's a great game! I got equally excited for Clid the Snail but that was a dissapointment.

S2Killinit929d ago

Your opinion is the exact opposite of mine. I think the value of PSPlus is higher for my style of gaming.

Sony needs to just come out and address the state of PS1/PS2/PSP classics to the public.

I paid $28 in June to test out the premium. But it looks like I won't be renewing for $120 in Dec.

shinoff2183930d ago

You do have a point. I want more classics. There loaded ps1 ps2 wise. Whats the deal. I still think the service is on par with gamepass where everything stands right now. But i need sone of those classic titles.

gleepot930d ago

PS Plus has been such a disappointment so far

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Has Better Level Design Than Kingdom Hearts 3

Looking back at Kingdom Hearts 0.2, we lay out how it has better level design than Kingdom Hearts III.

Pyrofire951596d ago

Well I wouldn't go that far. I'll just say I would have made many different decisions and Disney's hand was too heavy on this one. (frozen)
I don't know how the Pirates level was so bad tho.

Daeloki1595d ago

Visually the Pirates world was amazing tho, gameplaywise... I honestly can't even remember.

Lore1595d ago

I’ll agree it was a major letdown. They need to go back to KH I & II roots and allow for steady progression and platforming with more depth to the rpg mechanics.

-Foxtrot1595d ago

It was such a letdown and the worst part is they have continued to do the same old mistake, making the story complicated and requiring you to have played other games to understand the one you are playing or future ones.

They added stuff from the free to play game Union X as the basis for the next big story, you even had a character from that game show up to help Sora in a small cutscene and all I thought was "who the f*** is this?"

Rather than finish the story with what they had, they rushed to the finish to get the Xehanort story over and done with only to create a new story which would require knowledge to understand. I mean you don't even have a good reason for jumping from world to world, just "Oh yeah, find the power of awakening".

They should have finished everyone's story and either get new characters or do something in the end which would have isolated the next chapter to just Sora, Donald and Goofy.

Oh and I'm kind of annoyed Nomura has shoved in ideas from Final Fantasy 13 Versus as Verum Rex...why not keep them and do a new IP in the future which isn't limited by Kingdom Hearts by child friendly restrictions. With the secret ending he even made Verum Rex a real world, not a video game.

gold_drake1595d ago

i dont know if it did or not.
for me, it just gave us more questions than answers and that bothered me to no end.
but all in all, was good. very impressed by the pirate level

Daeloki1595d ago

There is just no excuse for KH3 being as bad as it was. Did Disney pressure it and contribute to it being bad? Yes, but even without that, it was just a huge letdown filled with retcons and suddenly making it so everyone survives and nobody can really die. Some people said that the DLC will make it better, but I will not pay 30€ for a 4h DLC. And when Oblivion and Oathkeeper were finally added, I decided to try again, but I couldn't make it trough Hercules world without being overwhelmed by cringe.... And seeing how they went for a rhythm game as Kairi's main game entry, I doubt there's much future for the franchise...

Eamon1595d ago

KH3 was probably the worst KH game in the series. Visually, it was stunning but the gameplay was far too easy and the story was extremely bad. It seemed like Nomura really didn't care much for the main KH storyline anymore and just wanted to set up for KH4 which would combine a new KH storyline with concept ideas for VersusXIII that he's still salty about not making.

I agree, that KH0.2 had better level design. In fact, I'm willing to bet KH0.2 was originally going to be part of the game somehow. The Realm of Darkness is a major plot point and the first time we get a very in-depth gameplay in the realm is KH0.2. The other KH games only had final bosses or small fixed dungeon sequences. But in KH3, we get next-to-nothing. Just a repeat of the beach boss battle from 0.2.

-Foxtrot1595d ago

Like I was saying above it's annoying Nomura shoved in Versus ideas with Verum Rex rather than just making a full on new IP without being restricted by the KH franchise. Nomura made Verum Rex a fictional video game within the Toy Story world but now after the ending it's actually a real world that will play a big role in the future games. Seriously, what's the point.

Seeing Sora disappear was a little emotional, probably would have been more if they the lead up (the entire full game) was better executed but to then see him fine and dandy in the secret ending was just "Oh...he's okay, never mind".

If they just left it with Sora vanishing then I'd have been more excited to see where the next game would have gone.

blackblades1595d ago

As max said on YT doing his top 5 games of 2020. Square level designs are that of ps2 level designs.

MasterChief36241595d ago

Wait, I though the game was called Kingdom Hearts 2.8? Is 0.2 Birth By Sleep a regional variant for the name? Interesting how 2.8 + 0.2 add up to 3. Weird. I feel like I missed something!

Unknown_Gamer57941595d ago

No, it's a separate title, though it's definitely on the short side.

I think we're all missing things with the naming convention for this series. I don't know what drug to take to follow any of it. But, thanks for pointing that out nonetheless. That's one of few things that actually makes sense regarding the names.

Eamon1595d ago (Edited 1595d ago )

KH2.8 is a collection title similar to KH1.5 and KH2.5.

It has KH3D remastered plus a new short game called KH0.2 which basically takes place from shortly before KH1 and ends at the end of KH1. KH2.8 also includes a movie based on the KHχ game.

The numbering in this franchise has rarely made much sense. I mean, the prologue of KH3 is given its own number too (KH2.9).

MasterChief36241595d ago

That's where I was confused! I was lumping it in as its own game. I gotcha, thank you for the clarification :)

Very confusing naming conventions, good Lord.

‘Kingdom Hearts 0.2: A Fragmentary Passage’ & The Prologue That Never Was

Good first impressions matter, and how a game opens can convey how the next few hours will play out: mechanically, conceptually, narratively, fundamentally.
