I could be tempted by some Titanfall 2 MP before my PS+ sub runs out (this time for good).

KovacsC · **Posted:** Thu Nov 28, 2019 10:01

Mine runs out next month. I need to renew.

That Monster MX thing is shit. Titanfall 2 is brilliant, at least play the campaign, it is awesome. Jumped back on Multi, did ok.

February’s loaded with not two, not three, but potentially up to five free PS Plus games! BioShock: The Collection contains three legendary first-person adventures, The Sims 4 gives you creative control over reality itself, Firewall Zero Hour offers engaging, online multiplayer* for PS VR owners.

Firewall’s multiplayer needs a real kick up the arse. It’s alright but there’s only one round per match (wtf) and a LOT of waiting about. It’s ace when it works but it really needs matches lasting longer and having multiple rounds. It doesn’t even have a typical death match mode with respawns - you die you’re out and have to wait until the end and then it’s back to the lobby.

And you’ve got to have the plaggy tube to play it

Oh nice!

Fuck off Sonic, you don’t deserve equal billing with this masterpiece.

Pundabaya · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 4908

I quite liked Sonic Forces. It was alright.

It's the one where you get to make your own fursona... I mean "Original Character"

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Feb 27, 2020 10:55

shadow of the colossus is one of those games i forgot to buy, so qwuite happy about this

Findus Fop · **Joined:** 14th May, 2009 **Posts:** 3325

It's another cracking PS Plus game, but unfortunately one that I own (though have yet to play).

Given my Playstation has started spitting disks out at random again*, this may actually be well-timed though.

*Anyone have a reliable solution to this? I've tried turning it off and on again.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 13592

Buy a 360.

There's a little screw that you can turn that is meast to fix it but it did sod all for mine, also some people suggest that removing one of the rubber feet worked for them, or doing something or other with sellotape. The thing that works for me is having the console sat on a game/DVD case, it'll work for months at a time and then it'll spit a disc and I just have to shuffle the console about a bit and it'll be fixed for months again :shrug:

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Feb 27, 2020 12:02

I keep meaning to clean the fan out on my PS4 as it's very loud. Think I'll do that this weekend.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2020 21:31

I will down load it and put it with the others I don’t have time to play.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 13592

April:

Uncharted 4 (Wow. Play the shit outta this)
Dirt Rally 2 (.0 for some reason)

So have I but it's making me consider a second playthrough.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Mar 25, 2020 15:00

With the 3 game collection earlier this year I'm a little Uncharted-out still.

Great game though.

Mr Chonks · **Posted:** Wed Mar 25, 2020 15:22

I’m finding 2 a bit of a slog. The train section is a particularly egregious example of this.

You could just skip it and play the later, better games. Though I realise that would rob you of the chance to get heartily sick of it before you even get to experience the better installments.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Mar 25, 2020 15:27

Yeah, I got half way, possibly more on the third one and just lost interest. Only because I didn't have a break in between though.

I really enjoyed the first game though, and if I’d followed your advice I wouldn’t have played that either.

Your logic's incredibly flawed there; anything I've done or said previously doesn't change one jot how much you're enjoying Uncharted 2.

Mini Kov wants spiderman, how come the prices are so high from the PS store.

Just ordered it from game, and saved £15

I guess because some people want things immediately and are happy to pay the premium. I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything on the PS store at full price.

Same with Nintendo. I don’t know about Xbox as I haven’t used one in eight years.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:27

Yes, just seems a high instant tax.. I normally use the PS plus stuff.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 13592

I swear I’ve seen Spiderman heavily discounted on the store a few times. I’m sure it was about £10-15 sometime at the beginning of the year.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 13592

It was on 4 March: double discount sale - 70% off.

The prices bounce around anyway for older titles. If you wait long enough for a sale it’ll come back down.

Online store prices are almost always massively more expensive, which has been true for like the last ten years. I'm surprised you're only just realising this.

Oh right, I only downloaded those last night thinking they were still March's. No idea what I saw then.

I thought they updated on the second Tuesday of the month? Clearly I hardly use my PS4 anymore.

Spiderman is on PSNow, if you get a free weeks trial you should be able to clock it for nmowt.

Build the city of your dreams and name it after yourself, or retire to that quiet life in the countryside.

Cities: Skylines and Farming Simulator 19 are your May PS Plus games. pic.twitter.com/CIZGdxqkN0

Cities: Skylines is good!

Mr Chonks · **Posted:** Wed Apr 29, 2020 20:43

Cities is meant to be a very good old-style Sim City game.

krazywookie · **Posted:** Wed Apr 29, 2020 20:52

I'm quite keen on both of those!
