PS Plus Is Finally Delivering Solid Titles, And I Hope Sony Keeps It That Way

from eXputer "After the price hike, PS Plus suffered heavy damage, which it seems to be making amends for, but the question is, will this quality continue?"

[Crows90]

Wait...ps plus has been decent many months of the past year. January is no exception. Even ps plus worst month is better than alternatives.

Best deal in gaming

[Hofstaderman]

Trademarked :)

@JW2SD

This looks to be a pretty ironic comment looking through your comment history.
You seem to be quite the fanboy yourself.

Pot, meet kettle...

Hahahaha.

[S2Killinit]

Pretty much confirmed by the numbers.

[1nsomniac]

What are you guys talking about!? PS+ has been seen widely by the vast majority as being very poor since the price increase. Take a look at their official blog or any PS+ thread, to see that a good 90% has been people complaining about how bad it has been since the price increase.

Honestly the state of some of you people. They flashed GTA5 at you (a 13 year old game) and all of a sudden you turned skirts and 180’d. All of a sudden it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Pathetic.

[Rocketisleague]

Ah its been 2 good months. More than likely it will drop off again because this has happened multiple times for the last 3 years

[shinoff2183]

That month with all those rpgs a bit ago was fantastic. People gotta realize not every game is gonna be tailored to them. I don't much care for the stuff this month but I won't knock it. Don't knock it till you try it, I have other stuff to play so I'm not trying it therefore not knocking

Are they talking about PS Essential and comparing it to Gamepass?

[BeHunted]

Game Pass will soon have all the games from Activision Blizzard, and the upcoming Call of Duty game this year might be available on Game Pass from the first day.

[shinoff2183]

They will put the most popular games from Activision and blizzard on there. Shame though cause I haven't really liked an Activision game since those superhero rpgs they did back on ps3 and 360. O ultimate alliance. They might throw a few bones of some old school games from when Activision actually tried stuff but cod, the newer Tony hawks , I can't even think of anything else , I'm good on those.

[purple101]

Phil Spencer “just wait “

Also just wait for the price increase
Cos that’s coming as soon as cod drops

[Reaper22_]

It's still better than ps plus without Activision Blizzard games.

I remember back when game pass was first starting playstation fans said sony doesn't need a service like that. I guess the times have changed...lol

"I remember back when game pass was first starting playstation fans said sony doesn't need a service like that. I guess the times have changed...lol"

You miss the point.

What people were against was the day one games because they can't bring in the type of revenue needed to support game development because they knew people would stop buying games,

For example there is about a zero percent chance that Starfield has made back the costs of an 8 year dev cycle on less than 3m sales which were the majority were Steam. And reporting tells us that subscription membership across the board are down or at best flat so an argument can't even be made that Starfield pulled in anywhere close to the number of people needed to sustain the type of budgets games like this require. Interestingly Microsoft has since stopped reporting subscription numbers and staff no longer get bonuses based on subscription growth.

Also keep in mind PlayStation already had a Subscription PlayStation Now, and that PlayStation had been giving out games on a subscription since PS3.

[RedDevils]

Tbh I haven't play a single Activision game for at least a decade now, I wouldn't notice if suddenly it disappear from the gaming world.

[The3faces]

Gamepass destroys ps plus but yeah keep trying to convince yourself otherwise lol.

[SyntheticForm]

I honestly think that PC gaming is superior to both in this regard. I think the larger up front cost is offset by so many things.

[andy85]

It doesn't though does it. Day one games absolutely. Overall quality and price absolutely not

[Barlos]

GP and PS+ are fine if you never want to own your games.

Personally I prefer to drop money on the games I want to own, not a rental service.

[jznrpg]

Finally? There’s been a lot of good games over the years since PS3. Some months are better than others but there are multiple good to great months every year.

[Charlieboy333]

What do you mean 'finally'. Did you just finally wake up from your coma or something?

[ravens52]

Crash, you traitor...
Lol

[S2Killinit]

What, they been doing that.

[Kaii]

Dropping Saints Row on the service with the price increase was a major eyebrow raise tbh

[EvertonFC]

We get good games most months however we need to realise it takes the console generation to get to mid gen before they can start putting the really good year 1 and 2 games onto the service once they've reached the sales peak.
It happens practically every gen having to wait mid gen in the cycle before the big ones start coming and everyone wins the Devs, ps plus, gamers etc.
Also sometimes it comes down to the amount of genres a gamer likes, if you ONLY like racing games and shooters then yes obviously there will be more months ps plus or GP may not cater to you but that not necessarily sonys or MS fault that the gamer has limited genres they like.
I like all genres apart from anime style games and JRPG so almost most months I have something I genuinely want to play or try.

[Flewid638]

I've had PS+ and GamePass for 2 years.

99.9% of the time the options have been better on PS+

[mrcatastropheAF]

Stop the cap. Once you get over Sony's BC offerings and the slew of JRPGs on the service, the quality of Gamepass's offerings are much better -- especially once we start talking 3rd party games

[Flewid638]

Hey if below average games are your thing, more power to ya. Enjoy that.

[isarai]

People really need to stop saying a month sucks when what they really mean is "I've already played these games" not the same thing. Yeah they definitely have some bad months, but a lot of the time people are complaining that they've already played the games and THAT means it sucks, so stupid

[mrcatastropheAF]

Stop the cap. I have had both for years as well.

Once you get over Sony's BC offerings and the slew of JRPGs on the service, the quality of Gamepass's offerings are much better -- especially once we start talking 3rd party games

[Nacho_Z]

Good months and mediocre months but objectively if you like getting your money's worth it's a great deal.

[Zeref]

These are all solid titles that have already been on gamepass 😄
