Be Excellent To Each Other

Here you go! Happy Fucking Christmas. Cunts.

ah saw thAT FORMA 8 FOR SWItch, glad i didn't buy it then... but nothing that seems cheerful

Decembers Games with gold on the Xbox is equally as poor. You'd think they'd want to put in a good showing for all those people that have new consoles for Christmas?

Well maybe it takes people a week to discover ps-plus, and then they can be surprised by extra special games in january.. (when they get bored of the pack-in game...)

TBH I'm having this for the family round robin

My ps plus is expiring. Where is the best place to buy it?

I got it from CD keys for £37..

What a shit month, that Darksiders is terrible.

I liked the first Darksiders, but hated the second. Or maybe it was just the wrong time to play it. The more time passes the less i like rpg elements in non-rpg games.

Seen it all done much better before, had nothing to grab my attention.

Only i golf games they are allowed...

man .. i wished they jut would make a new advance wars for the switch, or even a remix.. instead of fire emblem..

Telltale Batman and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are allegedly the January PS4 games.

Suck on that, Ian and Zaphod! You've been usurped

It was posted online based on a premature Facebook ad someone saw, and then I got the advert in question myself on Facebook about half an hour ago so it seems legit.

A proper confirmed list rather than some “alleged” rubbish:

January on PSN:

Batman: TellTale yawn yawn snooze PS4
Deuce Ex: Mankind Divided PS4
Sacred 3, PS3
The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, PS3
Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness, PS Vita (Cross Buy with PS4)
Uncanny Valley, PS Vita (Cross Buy with PS4)
Starblood Arena PSVR

Now that’s how you does it right.

Also Zaphod can suck it.

Ooh, good month!

Thanks, Bamba!

I played the original Deus ex, couldn't get on with Deus ex 2, never played human Revolution. Am I missing enormous plot points if I skip to mankind divided or is it relatively self contained?

It’s mostly self-contained, a few ignorable callbacks to the other games. If you didn’t like Human Evolution I don’t think you’ll like Mankind Divided though. (I liked them both a lot.) (Addressing that to the wider beex audience.)

Note that HR and MD are prequels to the original games, also.

The main plot points:

Everyone who is mechanically augmented needs a drug to prevent their body rejecting the augs.

Except Adam Jensen, who you play as. Who didn't ask for this. ('This' being 'augmented into a super badass killing machine with elbow chisels and super fucking cool shades that retract into his face')

For some reason some people are racist against people with augments. Which seems to be a bit silly. Be nice to people who can punch your head clean off!

The most important plot points for the second game: a nasty person sent out a signal that made augments go crazy, and it got messy. This makes people even more racist against augments.

Also nasty person's lair was on a big thingy in the sea and it was destroyed, with Adam on it. Adam was somehow rescued.

That's pretty much it.

Super enjoying Uncanny Valley this month. It reminds me (and was probably made by the same people) who did that other PS+ psychological horror game, erm, thingy. Y’know the one...multiple endings, chased by zombies, pixel graphix... yeah, that one.

It was, of course, Lone Survivor and not, say, Home. Both were mucho excellento.

I played it through once and got the but I couldn't be bothered to go back and try something different the next time. I just found all the continual trudging through the same screens annoying enough to put me off multiple playthroughs.

There's a 'visual novel' game based on an anime called PSYCHO-PASS: Mandatory Happiness that was only supposed to be free with PS+ in the North America region for some reason but it's now available for us EU folks as well and I've just grabbed it via the Playstation app. It doesn't show up as free on the PSN website but apparently that updates when you add it and go to the checkout:

It was in the monthly games section on the android app.

FIRST AGAIN. February games:-

Knack (PS4)
RiME (PS4)
StarBlood Arena (PS Plus bonus – PS VR required)
Spelunker HD (PS3)
Mugen Souls Z (PS3)
Exiles End (PS Vita)
Grand Kingdom (PS Vita & PS4)

Nice to see Rime in there. Glad I didn’t drop any cash on that now. Knack can seriously suck a dick.

Oh. They're a bit rubbish.

Rime is really good, albeit not the most action packed game you'll ever play.

grand kingdom might be interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Kingdom never too much tactical rpg type stufff..

so.. intersteng month .. blood borne .. ratchet clank..

but : end of ps3 and vita...
let's hope on some big last vita games to end it..

Nice, I'd been putting off buying Bloodborne because of a teetering to-play pile. Now I can add it to that and not feel bad when I give up at the first village.
