PS Plus: Free Games for October 2017

Sony has to go out and negotiate deals to get these games. There’s 60 million plus PS4 users, there’s 80 million plus PS3 users, there’s up to maybe 15 million PS Vitas.

PS Vita is 10% of Sony’s consumer base at most, with a shrinking majority, they might not be 10% of PS Plus subscribers, no hard numbers on that, we know that the PS4 dramatically outpaces PS3 PS Plus subscriptions since PS3 isn’t gated behind it, so the people who are MOST likely to have a PS Vita and a PS Plus subscription are the PS4, PS Vita users, who are probably somewhere of like 3% of all Plus subscribers.

They’ve given us pretty much every major game I can think of other than Unit 13 and that one didn’t review that well to begin with.

From what I understand just to voice chat you have to pay Nintendo’s monthly fee, you’ll get a SNES game a month, and then at the end of the month they’ll take away your access to it. Even if they gave it to you for free, the voice chat feature isn’t even native to the device you have to use a tablet… $5, PS Plus, and Cross-buy has been way more value to me than I see the Switch getting.

UnshavenBox94, yeah Ps Plus probably wasn’t worth the $10 for a $250 console you bought just to play 1 Yakuza game. The PS4 probably wasn’t even worth it.

You are probably just better off selling the PS4 to someone who would get use out of it, and waiting for those games to hit PS Now streaming, and enjoy them there.

PS plus comes with online backup of saves, that you have no use for, cheap renting of a select movie, that you probably pirate or wait for it to show up on Netflix, online multiplayer which you don’t get much out of from Yakuza games, bonus discounts which you don’t care for because Humble Bundle, piracy, and steam/gog sales. Exclusive betas you could hardly care less for, and full game trials which lets you play for an hour which technically every Steam game has as long as you don’t go over the time limit before you return the game you otherwise paid money for.

So yeah… Even getting it on sale for $40, dividied by 12 $3.34 a month, is probably not a value add. As someone who hand built his own gaming computer, it’s people like you that make me happy to be a console “peasant” I guess.

I agree with the 5 out of 10.

1. being Sony should kill themselves not a single good game, no one cares, people are selling of their PS4 in shame.
2. along the lines of 1 good game, in a sea of trash.
3. being 2 good games, no one cares about the other 4,
4 being 3 good games, few care about the other 3
5 being 4 good games, few care about 2 of them,
6 is all games are good except 1.
7 All games are good.
8 all games are amazing
9 being all games are AAA awesome sauce
10 being Sony developed one of the best games ever made and it’s only available to plus subscribers.

So yeah, 5/10 not that bad of a score. :P

11 is a secret setting no one knows about, which is all the PS Plus benefits stay, the fee goes away, and Sony CEO uses his new found popularity to run for POTUS.

Well they really can’t say that anyway. In the past 10 months we’ve had like 10 AAAish games. I mean I guess if you don’t count Telltale games as AAA, then it’s 8ish… but AAA is such a generic classification. What they really mean is disc based ish titles that they really wanted but didn’t want to spend any money on at all. People were saying we got no AAA games when we got that one game Tropico 5 and like NBA 2k17 and people were acting like they got no AAA games.

They could give us Battlefront 2 for free release day and people would be like “But what about a PS plus discount for the Season pass!? Man what a ripoff”

or

“I don’t like this Trek Wars stuff, wtf!? Sony!”

or

“I r PC Musterdrace!”

or

“Xbox is better. Who cares about Battlefield we got some new game added to the 360 backwards comptaibility list which is really just a cheap rip off of Cross-buy marketed better so we stop bleeding 360 users to the competition! Yay!”
