Given the game's genre, this doesn't surprise as the endgame is usually the "true game" when it comes to looters. Expand Oh yeah, I get that. But I don't know, when it comes to online multiplayer games like this I'm definitely one of those "it's the journey not the destination"-types. Not saying that the journey is always going to be good (like you say, the campaign reviewed pretty terribly), I just think it's an odd thing to cut from the game when bringing it to PS+, even if it makes sense. I don't know why you'd choose to upgrade for the poorly reviewed campaign, either? It's just...weird. I want to say that the Monster Hunter World approach with Iceborne and XIV's approach with its DLC, basically paying your way into the newest content / endgame and being given appropriate gear / levels for the challenge, might have been a more convincing approach...but yeah, the fact that no-one is interested to begin with makes that a bad idea. Oh well, just another one to throw on the pile of PS+ titles I'll probably add to my library and never boot up On 12/2/2021 at 9:32 AM, drahkon said: What's worse: Asia gets Judgement in addition to the other games...

Julius Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 The PlayStation Plus version of Final Fantasy VII Remake is being made upgradeable to the PS5 version of the game from Wednesday, and Intermission will be 25% off for a limited time. Must be annoying for those that went and bought the game after finding out that the PlayStation Plus PS4 version wouldn't be able to upgrade back near the start of the year.

Expand Or people like me who didn't redeem it on Plus since they wanted to play the PS5 upgrade and were specifically told it wasn't upgradeable! Sony really are making a fucking mess of this upgrade situation.
Ike Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 I don’t think I claimed it because I had the disk and they said the PS Plus one wouldn’t get the upgrade.

Julius Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Early rumours are that next month's games will be Deep Rock Galactic, Persona 5 Strikers, and Dirt 5. I was planning on picking up Deep Rock Galactic to play with friends anyways, but I'll gladly take any help I can get to convince them to play it Strikers would be great too!
drahkon Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) That looks too good to be true But I'd take Deep Rock Galactic even if it's the only game next month. Have tried it on PC and it's really good. Edited December 22, 2021 by drahkon
Cookyman Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Dirt 5 is a fun arcadey racer which I platinumed - if it's free it's well worth a go.
Sheikah Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) That's believable, Plus offerings tend to be better around Christmas/New Year to get people new to the system subbed to Plus. You know what I would like to see though - Binding of Isaac Repentance for PS5. It's in a weird place now where people with the PS4 version of Rebirth and later DLCs can buy the Repentance PS4 upgrade for cheaper but won't get the PS5 version. And it's 50 quid for the PS5 version...so would be really good to get hold of it via Plus. Edited December 22, 2021 by Sheikah
Goafer Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Incredible month. Been wanting to play Strikers and Dirt since they came out, but never got round to buying either.

Rummy Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 I've never played the Dirt games but yeah sure I guess why not(tbh @Cookyman calling it Aracadey and platted just peaked my interest ). Tried some of the Dwarf Rock Galactic last week when the games dropped but other than tute and two random games with randoms(who I was mostly following around) I was a bit confused but I did enjoy it(wasn't on comms tho, which probs will make it easier). I've been away from my PS4 a few days but definitely gonna be trying some more of it out - got at least one mate roped in at the moment lol. He might have his brother along, and it's 4 man crews? I'll give a shout here if we have spaces when we make a plan tho, if anyone fancied it?
drahkon Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Hard to top last month's game. I let out a resounding "meh". I'll pick up the standalone Borderlands 2 DLC which I'll probably play with a mate and give Planet Coaster a try. I'm always down for a few hours of some construction/management simulation action UFC 4, though? Nah...not my sport. Got a text from a mate who's a big fan...needless to say, he's very excited Edited January 26, 2022 by drahkon 1

Ronnie Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 I'm looking forward to this rumoured Game Pass competitor from Sony. It has to be an upgrade on PS Plus surely.

Not sure that's what you're looking for though.I really hope Game Pass doesn't take off across the whole industry as the de facto game distribution method, it seems pretty clear to me that it's a bit of a Trojan horse. Cheap and attractive now but very likely to become expensive if standard distribution methods become phased out. The promotions that are always running make it a no brainer right now but they surely won't last forever.

[emoji813] Based on the current pricing structure. In future I'm betting that these prices will rise significantly if the game pass model becomes standard across the industry. Microsoft are bankrolling this now but eventually they'll want to make money from it.
