"The April 2019 PlayStation Plus and Games with Gold lineups are out " - not 100% true, since Xbox usually as between 6 to 10 free games on weekends that are played with Games with Gold, so GOLD >>>>>>> PS PLUS.

TGGJustin2237d ago

No they don't have 6-10 free games every weekend. At the most they might have 3 games for a weekend but that's rare. Also PSN also does many of these same free weekends. Getting to play a game for a weekend is not the same and has nothing to do with the games you get for free so long as you are a member.

Imortus_san2236d ago

Sorry, my bad, what I meant is that the free weekend games are usually between 6 to 10 every month + the normal 4 games every month.

"Also PSN also does many of these same free weekends# - not even close, they have 1 or 2 games in free weekends, during the hole month, and there are months that they dont have any free weekends, on Xbox you get 2 free weekends minimum every month.

"Getting to play a game for a weekend is not the same ... " - yes it is, stop lying to yourself, 4 days is more then enough to finidh games that have a 4h~12h campain, I play and end any good game that cames out on free weekends. After finishing the game what to I want it for? To Resell? It's also a way to play games that I would never buy.

"... and has nothing to do with the games you get for free so long as you are a member." - it as everything to do with Games with Gold since this free weekends are only for Gold members, if you don't have gold you can't play this games.

So Yes, the Games with Gold crush PS Plus easy.

KickSpinFilter2237d ago (Edited 2237d ago )

Goes to Gold this Month, and that has not happened in a really long time.
PS+ has been crushing it, but not this month.

TGGJustin2237d ago

Yeah a little bit weaker on the PS4 side this month. It's interesting though that if you were just to compare the Xbox One games versus the PS4 games the PS4 has the better offerings. It's just the Xbox 360 and Xbox title make their lineup slightly better. For people who don't like playing last gen games the PS+ lineup might be better for them. That's why this is all just subjective.

Xbox:
The Technomancer XOne
Outcast Second Contact Xone
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 360
Star Wars Battlefront 2 360

Playstation:
Conan Exiles Ps4
The Surge Ps4

Imortus_san2236d ago (Edited 2236d ago )

on Xbox One you missed:
- Elder Scrolls Online - free to gold members.

Free Play days to Gold menbers: from 4 to 7
- Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
- WWE 2K19
- Dead by Daylight

And more to come.

TGGJustin2236d ago

Sorry but no one that does these comparisons counts games you play for free for a few days. I get that you're a massive xbox fanboy but you need to chill out with this.

Imortus_san2236d ago

@TGGJustin
I see you don't like games.

l33t_haxx0r2237d ago

Ps plus as you can look at cocks

TGGJustin2237d ago

Only in the Europe version.

l33t_haxx0r2236d ago

Is UK version same as Europe? Can on UK version

Baldur’s Gate 3 Is The Kind Of Game That Makes Me Wish I Could Play One Thing At A Time

I respect people who can dig deep on one game, and only one game, but I can't do it.

I used to play multiple games at a time but because of the time constraints I have I don’t have a choice but to play one game at a time or I’ll end up with some unfinished games. I like to get platinums for the games I enjoy the most so it can take me a long time to get to the next game.

It definitely takes some will power as I always have a stack of games I want to play at all times. But most of the games I play are really good and I am fully immersed when I’m playing a single game at a time.

raWfodog12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Same here. I’ll focus on a game that I really enjoy and get the most out of it before moving onto the next title. That is why I have a massive backlog of games now.

Armaggedon1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Same for me. I play so many games, currently playing oblivion, expedition, blades of fire, bg3 with friends , avowed, and Nioh 2. After learning more about myself and gaining mastery, I have developed an ability to get fulfillment from a game without needing to “complete” it. Unless of course, a game hooks me for the story, in which case I have to complete it to see what happens. I have discovered that in terms of gameplay, one can get most if not all of the expected experience in about 25% of progress through play.

Ninver19h ago

Sounds like renting is the best way to go in your case. No point in buying games you won't complete.

Armaggedon17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

It depends on what one deems as “complete.” For some, it is completing the story, and for others it is completing all tasks and objectives. Usually when this happens, people will feel “that was fun, whats next.” There is always a whats next. Cant think of anyone that has consumed media and thought “I am completely satisfied and will not need to play or watch another. I have simply mastered this “hunger” if you will. I am able to get so far in a game and then move to another without needing to reach a certain requirement. A benefit of this is that I do not get bored, as that game I didn’t beat still has mystries to unravel and new things I haven’t done.

Onimusha 2 Remaster Faces Backlash For Reported Minor Censorship Changes

The remaster of Capcom's action-adventure game, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, is facing backlash over minor changes due to censorship.

Incel outrage is one of the reasons gamers aren't taken seriously.

jambola1d 12h ago

so you're pro censorship and insult anyone who disagrees
gotcha

Flewid6381d 6h ago

Imagine not knowing that you can express discontent without raging like an incel

REDDURT1d 2h ago

Everyone is a incel who won’t fall inline.

gold_drake21h ago

no i think censoring a 18+ game is incredibly stupid.

im an adult and dont need to be coddled

CrimsonWing6920h ago

So when something gets censored, people just aren’t supposed to say anything?

We can praise a game’s violence, crude humor, or edgy writing all day, but the moment someone says a design is hot or pushes back on censorship in an M-rated game, it’s suddenly “incel outrage”?

Give me a break. If you’re posting on a gaming news site, you’re already in the same boat — you’re not above the rest of the community just because you’re uncomfortable with fanservice.

Criticizing censorship isn’t incel behavior — it’s called being a fan with standards.

jambola8h ago

you can complain if it's violence, but not skin, especially on a female character
and as we all know, small things never grow into bigger problems

MDTunkown16h ago

You know first remaster sales wasn’t great so introducing new censorship to an ancient game that would piss fans isn’t a good strategy.

guess i'll wait for a sale
can't bring myself to support censorship this much

jznrpg1d 9h ago

It’s not much of a change but totally unnecessary to be changed in the first place.

hot4play1d 4h ago

I’m still holding out for a physical release on PS5 or Switch. Has Capcom confirmed whether a disc version is still in the works?

DarXyde1d 2h ago

How is it censorship if Capcom is the one that made the change of their own volition? I could understand if they did it because they were told to, but that doesn't seem to be the case. At this point, it's a creative change.

You could make the argument that Oyu's costume was only more revealing because they wanted to appeal to horny teens at the time and this is what they would prefer to do.

We don't really know, but it was Capcom's decision, so why is this a big deal?

Rebel_Scum1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Its isnt censorship. There’s just a weird crowd of internet folk who cry about these sorts of changes.

At the end of the day they are the creators. They can change their art whenever and however they see fit. Happens in every artistic medium.

MDTunkown16h ago

The game is over 20 year old and remaster wasn’t made by og developers even Capcom CEO was someone else back then. So they took an old game from another period and made changes not to offend modern gamers.
But if you buying a remaster you just want higher definition and frame rate and having same experience as the game originally launched.

DarXyde1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

"So they took an old game from another period and made changes not to offend modern gamers."

So your criticism is that it's modernized? Modernization of gaming takes many forms. Even MGS3∆ has made modernizations. I don't know how old you are, but, believe it or not, people who were young-ish when these games came out are not the target audience of these remakes and remasters. Games get modernized for a modern target audience. Just as some mechanics are dated, so too are some themes. I think you unintentionally described it best: the game is modernized (i.e., made for the modern target demographic). It's not all about us.

"But if you buying a remaster you just want higher definition and frame rate and having same experience as the game originally launched."

This makes zero sense. So based on your argument here, higher definition and frame rate would not change the experience... But an undershirt on a supporting character does? What are you even saying?

jambola8h ago

yeah
it they remove half the game and make you pay a subscription
who cares right? no big deal? capcoms decision?

you can split hairs if you wants, different name, same result
self censorship if anythign

DarXyde1h ago

You would say that, as you come in with this straw man argument?

They're not removing half the game. They're not making you pay a subscription. They covered up a pair of tatas.

That's it. That's literally it. In no world is your silly comparison even remotely the same thing or indicative of a slippery slope.
