flameboy Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Hmmmm Jurassic Park....might be terrible but still tempting.
dwarf Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 So if Plus is downloaded before March is out, new users get: PS3 Mass Effect 3 Joe Danger 2 Dead or Alive 5 Mortal Kombat Guardians of Middle Earth F1 Race Stars Quantum Conundrum LBP2 Motorstorm Apocalypse Infamous 2 Vita Stuff: Puddle MGS HD Collection Uncharted: Golden Abyss Gravity Rush // I don't think I'll bother with Mass Effect 3, haven't the patience for something like that right now. I'd give Joe Danger a spin, I'm definitely keen to check out Motorstorm, might have a bash at Quantum Conundrum and perhaps go through Infamous 2 as an evil bastard. The rest...mehhhhh. I remember being so excited about LBP before its launch, but I have zero desire to try the sequel. I did have fun creating levels in the original it must be said. Any good lingering Plus discounts? Or were all the deals recounted in that long quote on the previous page?
Retro_Link Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Only current Plus game I'm interested in is F1 Race Stars and maybe Motorstorm, as I'll probably buy Infamous 2 instead (can then keep it indefinitely, plus save HD space). Here's hoping for a good April!
dwarf Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Back in the day Cooky and I tore it up on Pacific Rift. I ploughed a lot of time into that game but I always felt I was putting in more than I was getting out of it. It was missing that little something. I approved of the sluggish vehicles but at the same time the handling lacked a sense of freedom, and the races a sense of speed. Maybe the boost didn't have enough impact or there was a lack of a satisfying drift mechanic. It played much faster in the cockpit view but only idiots use that. On the plus side, some of the tracks were incredible and they were joyous to behold, some really memorable architecture. The converging nature of the courses sometimes made it hard to tell which paths were worth bothering with I guess, and that made it a painful grind against the merciless AI. Anyhow, Apocalypse looks to have strayed from the mould, it looks more solid, frantic and fun, but at the same time seems to have lost its identity a fraction. As I say though, look forward to giving it a go. Edited March 16, 2013 by dwarf

Retro_Link Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I presume you don't pay the Plus discounts back when your membership expires!? :p
Cube Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Anything you buy with actual money during PS+ is still available when it ends.
Retro_Link Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Good because I have some PSN credit to use up and £7.80 is a steal! Need to sign up to my 1yrs membership first though.
Goron_3 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Ah, The Walking Dead... What a bloody brilliant game <3
Rowan Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 What a generous offer to give episode 1 for free for everyone on top of the discounts. I got the platinum on Sleeping Dogs (my first ) yesterday so I've been looking for a new game to try. GTA4 is proving difficult to get back into although I'm close to the end. Shall give episode 1 a go and if I like it plump for the season pass. Heard a lot of great things about it from Giant Bomb.
dwarf Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I'm looking to buy a replacement PS3 for cheap, and preferably one that's new (but a slim/super slim so that it's not liable to YLoD). Where's cheap?
Retro_Link Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) If you can move your hard drive across, 12GB is £160 at Amazon. EDIT: Forget that £142.85 at Shopto, plus plenty of other decent offers. Edited March 18, 2013 by Retro_Link
dwarf Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah I saw that 12gb offer on shopto... Might go with that as I have an empty 250gb HDD knocking around.

dazzybee Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 So my playstation won't turn on. It just flashes. It's dead right?
dazzybee Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Oh Sony... By the day you infuriate me more and more... I think this is the first ever console that's died on me in my entire life... Cunts!! If it wasn't for plus I'd bin Sony off 100%!
dwarf Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I think Sony shat on the competition this gen, but each to their own. (I don't speak for handhelds, I don't do them)
dazzybee Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 This came straight after me playing my vita for the first time in 6 months and escape plan, for some reason not working. Ended up playing sound shapes... WHAT A GAME!!!
dwarf Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 The lack of buzz for BioShock Infinite is appalling. I'm not even going to be able to play it and yet I'm going nuts!
Cube Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I loved the first and enjoyed the second but Infinite just hasn't appealed to me at all.
Agent Gibbs Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 oh shit Infinite is out soon i completely forgot! oh man i have too many games to buy for things, i'm going to have to drop something
flameboy Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 The lack of buzz for BioShock Infinite is appalling. I'm not even going to be able to play it and yet I'm going nuts! I totally agree. I had a dream (nightmare) that it was getting terrible review scores we are talking 2/3 out of 10 and that it was being compared to Alien Colonial Marines! It's shocking all the videos they have released look incredible.
Cube Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 that it was being compared to Alien Colonial Marines! That's the exactly the same "it's been too long..something is wrong" feeling as with Colonial Marines.
