    These games isn’t worth getting PS+ for $25 or $60. Xbox Live is 10x better for their pricing. Very, very disappointed in the people who is responsible for this tragedy. For now, only reason for Plus is for online and even that is pathetic.

    Gotta love Sony fan boys trying to convince upset gamers everything is great! I give always indie games a chance but there’s such a quality difference with the bigger budget games. For every “Inside” there’s a dozen BS titles like Rock’N Racing. I own both systems and have no loyalty to either brand but seriously, Microsoft is a much better value! Look at the last twelve months and tell me their membership isn’t better. Hell, just on the backwards compatibility alone X-Box wins. I won’t even bring up the awesome EA Vault membership option for X-Box One customers! Pay attention Sony!

      I read your comment and looked up “EA Vault”. It’s a seriously sweet deal! $4.99.month or $29.99/year, you can subscribe and cancel at any time and get an increasing library of EA games to play (downloaded, not streamed) on your Xbox One.

      I’m envioius, I have to tell you.

      Sony, if you’re reading you should take a deep, long introspective look: you can’t possible use your slogan “For Gamers” without deluding yourself and your customer base.

    What a fantastic lineup this month.You AAA meatheads go and sob in the corner, bleating on about how a service that costs less than a pint of beer a month is a massive rip-off, while the rest of us grown ups enjoy the experimental indies on offer.
    This is WHY we play Playstation, kids.
    Grow up!

    Come on!! another month with bad games, Really?? I´m seriously considering to give away my PS4 and buy an XBOX One. Why you can´t add a Triple A game a month as you did whith PS3.

      Not all Xbox freebies are better. Infact it can be really annoying. See if you want to download an previous gen game thats free you have to hook up you 360, relogin and start the download in order to add it to your library just to get it on the XB1. If you try to DL it on your XB1 it will tell you to login to 360 and “purchase” it(still free, just stupid choice in wording on their part).
      Plus the XBlive freebies have also been going down in quality. I remember looking on the PS+ freebie for ps3 and seeing the latest Uncharted deluxe edition worth 98+gb of game, what did xbox have that month? Halo3…. it was like 8(?) years old at the time.
      I miss the good stuff.

    PS4 is good and all, but Vita has been getting trash indie/mobile games since august. Not a single great and/or AAA game.

    I haven’t played any of the games they are giving us in december. I hope at least one turns out to be halfway fun to play, lol~ I think the reason they don’t give away the popular “aaa” games on ps4 is because there are just not that many available on ps4 compared to when they gave away “aaa” games on ps3 years ago (2006+) when ps3 came out.

    The development process to make and publish a ps3 game was easier. Now, the development process to make a ps4 game is so extensive compared to ps3, and there is no doubt more red tape to jump through business wise, etc……. Well, maybe a better game lineup next month, er should I say “year”- lol :p

  • UKalltheway2013

    I would like to see more AAA games for PS Plus. Paying $60 a year for indie games is just becoming boring.

  • SxRxHxRyder311
    December 1, 2016 at 12:28 am PST

    I would love to see ps4 users get the more recent bigger name games and less indie games but thats my preference, save the indies for the older consoles since the ones with ps4s shell out more as of recent for games and merchandise. Give the older consoles older games and indies, but the more recent users (keeping the market for ps4 going) should get better titles that are a little more exclusive. There are a ton of valid points in this feed and i loved last months tower of monsters, but id love to see something like battlefield 3, or even the crew or walking dead be released. Sony also needs to think about the sales they lose because they dong promote a series coming out, such as watchdogs 2, they could have peaked interest and boosted sales by releasing watchdogs 1 since its $10 preowned almost anywhere now. Hell sell a walking dead subscription by releasing any of the twd games

    PS4 games are pretty good, both were kinda sorta on my radar and look like good games. PS3 and vita on the other hand are kinda ****. VVVVVV looks good but the rest look meh at best.

  • Skeetlejuice
    December 1, 2016 at 1:08 am PST

    So the PS4 indies are ok to good by metacritic anyways 82/72 ish, April and August release games, and invisible inc is on iPad for $5.50 cad. Wow the value. I’m not really interested in either of these, I might try stories for 15 mins to see if I like it.

    The reality is for many of us we are getting paywalled into $70 online for Canadian customers / players. This is for peer to peer service not dedicated servers. The online match making, tools to interact with friends or jerks are lacking, the ability to add a new friend or communicate with some one you just played is inferior. FIFA 17 can’t see who I just played to message or add the, you literally have to screen cap at halftime. Xone with live no such issues.

    Included games with membership are rarely what anyone other than those that play every day all day want, same with discounts save this holiday sale month.

  • Skeetlejuice
    December 1, 2016 at 1:17 am PST

    I’m tired of these apologists that apparently own stock or act like they have a stake in defending an inferior / mediocre service that is essentially forcing PS4 players to pay for online with this debatable add on value.

    Yes there are the features but it’s time to change the games or gut them. PS3 and Vita are dead. It’s year 4 of PS4 going forward, the other systems which I own are on life support and I do not include anything with plus in regards to them as “adding value” they don’t it’s a straw man argument.

    Anyone without a PS4 and with plus is getting taken.

    Announce an end to it. Make 2 services Online with the normal non games features, and parity with live.

    Deluxe for the we buy everything play everything apologists. The above with ps now (which will die without this anyways) and a “free” hd movie rental per month.

    I’m so sick of this.

    • stalemate666
      December 1, 2016 at 1:15 pm PST

      @ Skeetlejuice I have ps+ and I don’t have a ps4 and I don’t feel like I’m being taken in, of course I plan to get a ps4 eventually and I put all the ps4 games on my list so that when I do buy one I’ll have all the ps+ games for it, also like 3/4 of my backlog of games I want to play I need ps+ to play, so there’s that.

  • Kinetic808

    I LOVE INDIE GAMES! Wanted to get stories but never got around to it. I love ps +

  • Skeetlejuice
    December 1, 2016 at 1:24 am PST

    I mean deluxe with ps now / movie rental.

    Companies don’t change until we vote with our wallet, but fact is putting online on PS4 puts those that disagree/dislike the service in a catch 22.

    It is clear there are at least two groups, those that just want online and no game of the month club.

    And those that will buy and justify anything. I love games as much as anyone for over 20 years but I don’t take kindly to being treated like a fool.

    The odd thing is if they fixed this they could make more money. I suspect they will let VR and ps now die a slow death though. A shame.

    wait… i get 4 games again for my ps4?? SWEEET!
    shoot me but i find at least 3 of this 4 worth to try out. Just my opinion…

    We have to make a petition.

    Don’t get me wrong, they’re not really “free games” PSplus costs money as well.

  • RemusJoestar
    December 1, 2016 at 5:24 am PST

    Here where I live, games are really expensive.But Sony normally puts good games on sale. I have a EUR account too, just in case. To get the better deals.
    I wanted to play Mass Effect. Yeah, I know, old game. I don’t have PS+, but I did downloaded Mass Effect 2 when I had the service. So I had to decide. Paying 9.99 for a month of PS+ to play Mass Effect 2 or buy the games at normal price.
    Luckily for me, the EUR store had Mass Effect Trilogy for just € 8-9.for Black Friday. So I got three games for a better price.
    I just gave up on PS+, but I don’t complain nowadays. The day it has a game I actually want, I’d probably pay for a month and that’s that.

  • poliet
    December 1, 2016 at 5:48 am PST

    Why can’t we just get Japanese line-up? Why do they get great, quality, EXCLUSIVE games while we are stuck with indie **** you can purchase for 99 cents on Steam sales? You should at least give people choice to which PSPlus they want to subscribe because Japanese PSPlus is worth like 4 times what this one is.

  • Quietestkept
    December 1, 2016 at 6:14 am PST

    Sorry guys but Resident Evil HD isn’t a AAA title lol. Maybe 20 years ago. Transformers wasn’t a blockbuster, it was a flop. When people say they want a blockbuster or AAA title they mean something that was actually good. Not every month but a couple a year would be great. And not dlc content like Gat out of Hell. I loved some of the idle games and hate other just like with big name games. It’s xmas time though, all the money we all spend on this system could be rewarded with a great title for free in December. Just saying.

    • TheTerminater619
      December 1, 2016 at 11:19 am PST

      Stories and Invisible inc. are great titles.
      How is Capcom not triple A to you? Just because its Japanese in nature?
      Transformers Devestation is an amazing game by Platinum, the same people who did Bayonetta, Vanquish, and have some of the people who worked on Devil May Cry 1 and 3, arguably the best action games of our generation. You may not like it just because its transformers and thats fine. But you can’t say its not a great action game. The reason you dont see all the tripls A stuff on psn is that they think most players on them, hence the reason they arre Triple A. so a big game everyone owns being free would just be a slap in the face to anyone who bought it.

  • Hugo_Mundo
    December 1, 2016 at 6:31 am PST

    Well, this month sucks again for Vita.
    AGAIN.
    If you don’t pay PSPLUS for multiplayer, DON’T buy for these games you can get cheap on steam.

  • saab01
    December 1, 2016 at 6:40 am PST

    A good way to solve this issue and give better games on ps4 would be to pull the plug on ps3 and vita and just give games for ps4. These days who really is playing ps3 or vita? My ps3 is in the basement but doesn’t get any use since I have a ps4 and xbox one and you can’t go back after playing games on either newer consoles. I hope soon or by the latest e3 we will see this happen remember ps3 will be 11 Nov 2017.

  • OnTheBus666
    December 1, 2016 at 7:06 am PST

    Cant believe the amount of whining on these posts every month with gamers saying games with gold is a better deal. It is not. I have both systems and the free lineups are always better on PS4. People need to give these games a chance. Stories is an excellent game with a cool meta plot, and everybody is sleeping on how awesome tricky towers is. The sales are where Sony destroys Microsoft WEEKLY the freebies are just the icing. So what if we don’t get a “AAA” game for December, there are so many new AAA titles out I couldn’t handle another game to play anyway.

    • Xugoh
      December 1, 2016 at 7:50 am PST

      For people like us that actually buy triple A titles and on release, the disappointment would come in seeing that very same game for free shortly after we bought it, it has happened to me. With indies the money spent is less and you end up feeling like you helped a smaller studio with your purchase so it’s not as bad. I could see that being the reason why these line ups are more indiecentric.

  • hoppy2228
    December 1, 2016 at 7:23 am PST

    I am kind of annoyed with the games but after giving a comments a read and remember the other triple A titles we have had i will add another to the list which was Tropic 5 which when it was given free a few months back was also £50 on the PS store. i probably wont play these games as they don’t look like my type of games but i will give them ago that’s for sure and just from a few videos i had a quick look at invisible inc seems to be a little like xcom just a cheaper version (might be wrong). hopefully when January comes round they will have games for the other half of the community that don’t like these ones.

  • White_JackaL

    MONTH AFTER MONTH, WE HOPE YOU SEE OUR SIGNS OF FRUSTRATION, AND HOPE YOU DON’T LET US DOWN THE FOLLOWING MONTH… LOW AND BEHOLD… YOU GUYS STILL FIND AN EXCITING WAY TO MAKING US FEEL DISGUSTED.

    DAMN I WISH YOU GUYS WERE THIS CONSISTENT IN KEEPING US HAPPY. BUTTTTT……

    YET YOU STILL HAVEN’T MANAGED TO LET UP OF FRUSTRATING US ON A MONTHLY BASIS…. GOOD JOB SONY…. (SARCASTICALLY)

    INSTEAD OF INCREASING MEMBERSHIP FEES BY $10 YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE DECREASED BY $10… THIS B.S. IS GETTING OUT OF HAND. SMMFH.

  • Xugoh
    December 1, 2016 at 7:43 am PST

    I was actually curious about Stories Path of Destinies but of all the line up i think that’s the only one i’ll probably try. I know of VVVVVV and played the demo but it’s not for me. You guys should give indies a chance you never know when the next Rocket League might pop up. That said i would like triple A’s as much as the next guy, just not the ones I already bought and there i believe is where the problem lies, I was seriously ****ed off to see Yakuza 5 in the line-up only a month after i bought it on release and pretty much forced to buy it digitally.

    Looks like Sony deleted my post from yesterday. Thanks for the censorship, guys.

    Stop attacking those who are dissatisfied with the games selection. They have every right to be upset. And for the last time, the Plus games are not “free”. Last I checked, Plus is a paid service.

    Get better value with Flash Sales and sales at retail locations. You’ll get more bang for your back and you won’t have to keep praying for your game to be added to the monthly lineup.

      December 1, 2016 at 11:11 am PST

      all of those games add up to much over $60 if they were at normal price. You’re complaining about nothing. Sony is a company that does other things than just video games.

    You people complaining about the free games you’re getting on a monthly basis when Sony’s *100% not obligated to give us free anything* (just read the EULA you agreed to when you signed up for PS+. The offers and terms of agreement can change at any time, for any reason, at the sole discretion of Sony. You agreed that this was acceptable when you bought PS+) are embarrassing. You entitled ingrates *should’ve been XBox One owners*, because you complain about how much better it is on a consistent basis.

    +REALJOKER — When did Sony promise AAA titles every month? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that. Even if it is true, they *have* been giving us AAA titles every month. Whether they were the ones *you wanted or not* doesn’t matter in the slightest.

  • baniann
    December 1, 2016 at 9:03 am PST

    I’m glad for Invisible Inc and Stories, was interested in both and will check them out. Not interested at all in the others, maybe VVVVVV if it had been cross-play w/PS4.

    I like indies a lot but an entire month of only indies (with only two of them being higher profile titles) and having that month be December of all months- seems very ill-advised. I hope the powers that be are paying attention to the negativity and will have a more balanced selection in future months, especially considering the raised cost in PS+ without anything new and interesting to the service.

    Also, they placed the final nail with the upcoming sale today… just saw the prices and lineup, same things that in black friday, but more expensive…
    Total lack of imagination…

    The sales this month were rather bland, pure mainstream and far from being an actual sale, specially when the retail versions were cheaper.
