Josh @ FG: Find yourself in the coming-of-age fable, Sable. The open world puzzle platformer is out now on PS5. The Finger Guns Review.
All playable December 5.
Sable was cool, gave me a bit of motion sickness though. Lego Drive and Power Wash are fun games.
I bought Sable a while back because it seems like a game I'd love and the art style is amazing but ... dear God ... https://youtu.be/mIJ7EjKhN-... The framerate is like a car that's conking out and about to die. It stutters all over the place, especially on the bike. It's not very playable.
You can get used to a low framerate but not this. It's like this on every platform and I don't think they ever fixed it.
It was worth pushing through for me personally, it's probably the best example of a map that rewards exploration. But it is terrible especially when zooming through forests
that looks choppier than the Atlantic ocean on a and day,
hopefullY they fix that for the ps+ release cos' id like to check it out.
How come I never see you in the bad news xbox articles. Or the system sales articles. 40 percent sure sounds like alot but if you actually say the dollars it's really not.
Essential had a 60 to 80 increase which is around 34%. Nothing you say is ever factual.
And if it were 3 popular games released this year you would say everyone already has the games and still complain.
So rather than release recent popular games they should release old unpopular ones to reduce the chances of people already having them? Weird logic
Microsoft tried to raise their price and everyone cried, so they took it back. Then they eventually removed GWG free games.
SMH
What games are you getting this month with your basic subscription?
And of course it wasn't a 40% increase.
Monthly core is the same price, but PS is still cheaper annually even after the price increase
Replies(1)What will it take to get you removed from this site? Enough is enough. You are so toxic to the comments sections here.
Trash month for Sony. I expect better. They haven't had a month this bad in a while.
Sorry they didn't cater specifically to your taste? Next time I hope they contact you first.
I'm really happy with Lego 2K Drive. I was about to buy it for my kids for Christmas, and I know I'll enjoy playing it just as much as they will. Being able to actually build our own vehicles sounds pretty cool, and much different from the other samey-Lego games. (It's ok to enjoy Legos as an adult, we won't tell your friends! ;) ) Power Wash Simulator is a surprisingly fun, relaxing game. I'm hearing good things about Sable, but I know little about it.
It's good to cater to different kinds of tastes.
I'm a paying customer, so I have the right to criticize my displeasure with this months releases. Sony has dropped the ball this month and hopefully they bounce back in January.
"Sorry they didn't cater specifically to your taste?"
Why are you asking? Do you not know?
@TheEnigma313 - criticize a company because, even at the higher pricing, the monthly cost of PS+ is less than a cup of coffee? @ $80 annually that's $6.66/mo. Make no mistake, I dislike the price increase, but we're talking spending chump change each month while expecting gold in return. Furthermore, how many people here have $35-50 subs active? Meaning they've paid $2.91-$4.16/mo. It's just silly and beyond ridiculous that month after month people complain about free games that were an added bonus to PS+. What kind of value do you expect each month for the cost of less than a cup of coffee. Criticizing a company for unrealistic expectations is sophomoric at best, idiotic at worst.
@TheEnigma313 Yea, my apologies for the passive-aggressive response yesterday, I could have toned that down a bit. You're right, you have the right to complain. Just seems there's always so much of that on N4G, no one is ever happy with anything.
I still disagree though, Lego 2k Drive is a big score, as it's only came out in May. That's amazing to get a 69.99 title for free, only half a year after launch for the monthly price of a coffee, like @Seraphim said. The PC community has been wild about Power Wash Simulator this last year too, with an Overwhelmingly Positive score on Steam. I know the concept sounds boring on paper, but nothing scores "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam without being truly great. Give it a shot.
We're going into December where lots of kids are going to be getting their consoles, so they offered some family friendly games.
Just because you personally don't like the games does not mean they are bad games.
When can we complain about Sony offerings? Seriously, like I made a comment about the classic games not having been stellar and you went up my ass about that.
So, my question is when can we voice our opinions about not being thrilled about the PS+ offerings? I’m pretty sure “never” is your answer.

You guys don't appreciate what you have and you're going to make it worse for everyone. Microsoft charges $80 a year at it's cheapest rate and they get zero monthly games.
Sony is giving you at a minimum 60 dollars worth of games this month, for $6.65.
If you want a different game go on the PSBlog and tell them what types of games you want, don't just say oh PS Plus is shit blah blah blah just because this month they didn't give you that one game you want.
And I believe my point was in that conversation that no matter what they give you, you're going to complain, I 100% double down on that. I went through a list of games that people said they wanted which Sony put onto Premium yet people still complain even after getting what they asked for.
Seriously, you guys are kind of worse than Obscure and the other xbox fanboys they just throw stones at the wall, but you guys are tearing shit down from the inside. You're causing people to cancel which means Sony has less money and the service is only going to get cheaper and cheaper games.
If you want better games more people need to subscribe so Sony can pool our money and negotiate better deals, that's why all the xbox fans are in here talking crap they want you to unsubscribe so Sony will have less money to make games and put games on the service.
Replies(1)I'm very disappointed as well.
Coming up to Christmas, the month of December should be a blitz, but this is a deflated bean bag.
I've had PSN plus since the ps3 days, but I'm seriously considering letting my sub laps.

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Artistically inspired and technically hobbled, Sable is one of those indie games that’s exciting to evaluate but which I'm still reserved in outright recommending. In its current state, its unforgettable qualities burn at both ends. Think of it as an enthusiastic tentative endorsement: genre fans can level with its rough framerate while the rest should patiently wait for it to be spruced up.
I’m (mostly) partial to forgiving a young developer making elementary mistakes when Shedworks seems so mature in other respects. Like Sable’s rite of passage, the hands-off approach lends greater gravitas to a player’s own discoveries. That inherent curiosity feeds into the new people you meet, the ships you explore, the wide plains you traverse, and, ultimately, the role you assume. Although I feel “professionally” compelled to warn about its current nastier faults on PS5, I still sincerely hope you'll embark on The Gliding someday."
Join Sable on her rite of passage as she journeys across Midden to find her path in life with various quests before returning to her people.
The performance is ridiculously bad, so it really doesn't deserve a score this high.
This game easily has the worst framerate I've seen in a PS5 game (can dip from a smooth 60 to 20-40 just because you're moving the camera).
The devs need to provide an option to lower the resolution or something. Messing with the FOV can noticeably improve the framerate, lol.
From the hour I've played of it, I did quite like it but ... please patch the game and provide options.
I personally cannot recommend the game to anyone with a PS5 right now. The funny thing is, if there was a PS4 version, it probably would have worked well in backwards combability (like Elden Ring). There's a lot of technical incompetence here.
