Normally I would bite my tongue because I have the utmost respect for Sony and affiliates, but this does seem like a very extremely dated offering. Not impressed, especially now that it’s been mandatory to have plus to play online etc since ps4 release. We used to receive like 6 games a month across all systems ps3 ps4 and vita when plus wasn’t required, and now it’s like they’re not even trying. Gotta admit kinda’ choked about it, and for me it takes a lot.
I would rather buy the disc version of the uncharted collection. It’s not a bad release for those that haven’t played it. Sadly they released most (all?) of the uncharted games on Plus already at one point or another so it’s likely most of us have it already. Goat simulator is fun and it’s pretty funny but I don’t know if I would put it as a main PS+ title.
PlayStation / Sony needs to adopt an al a carte option for PS+ – Let us choose the two games from a list of 5 or 6. This way there’s more variety and there’s a chance people will get something they feel is actually worth keeping their subscriptions for. Humble bundle just started doing this with their monthly subscription plans and it seems like it’s a much better model versus what what in place before. I feel Sony needs to follow suit and make the plans a little more flexible.
3 older PS3 games that most people already have bought plus a stupid title that doesn’t even deserve my thoughts. Where do i sign off PS plus?
I’m not sure whether to criticize or praise this (only because I loved the Uncharted games and Uncharted 2 is one of my favorite games of all time). Naturally, I already own the Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection from when I bought it on sale ages ago and I don’t regret that purchase as I always take into account that whenever I’m buying an old game on either PlayStation or Xbox platforms that the game will likely come to PS Plus or Xbox Live Gold/Game Pass sooner or later (especially in the case of the latter service). But at the same time, with only two PlayStation game offerings being featured every month now, there easily many, MANY better choices than Goat Simulator for the second game, whether it be of indie or Triple A quality. I’ve already re-upped my PS Plus sub for another year but by no means is it guaranteed I’ll do the same next year, and while I’m happy to give Sony anothe chance to impress me it isn’t looking good so far. I’ll be watching carefully to decide if I’m actually getting my money’s worth in 2020, just saying.
Continuing my efforts to bring positive criticism so that PS Plus can be improved, I’m going to do some basic math here…full disclosure, I always re-up my PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold and now Game Pass subscriptions when they are on discount, generally during the months of November to December. I’m also in Canada so all figures are in Canadian Dollars (CAD).
1 Year of PS Plus (Black Friday Discounted) = $51.99 CAD / $4.33 per month
What do I get: 2 games (often weak offerings) added to my Instant Game Collection, Access to Online Play on PS4 (which I barely ever use), occasional deeper or PS Plus-exclusive discounts on PS Store content, and Cloud Storage.
1 year of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (which includes Game Pass for PC and Xbox Live Gold Membership, Early Boxing Week Discounted) – $100.00 CAD / $8.33 per month
What do I get: 4 games (often weak offerings) added to my Xbox Digital Collection for console and PC, Access to Online Play on Xbox (which I do actually use), occasional deeper or Xbox Live-exclusive discounts on Xbox Store content, and unlimited access to hundreds of games, new, old, indie double and Triple A, not to mention all the latest MS exclusive games launching in Game Pass and many brand new, high profile games launching there as well (for a limited time). So essentially I get the Xbox equivalent of PS Plus PLUS the Netflix of Games, for significantly less than what I pay for Netflix. Oh, and cloud storage isn’t included in this service because Cloud Storage is free to all Xbox Live members, whether they have a Gold or Free membership.
I’m not saying Game Pass Ultimate is unequivocally better than PS Plus, it all depends on what features you use and value most. Up until now at least, I concluded that both services are worth paying for (at a deep discount anyway), but I can’t imagine I’ll be paying for both services a year from now unless PS Plus becomes a hell of a lot more enticing in terms of value.
I agree 100% man. If ps5 doesn’t at least have backwards compatibility with ps2, and ps4 then I’m buying an Xbox series x.
