Gaming PlayStation Plus

I signed up for premium when it first came out as I didn’t pay much to upgrade for the rest of the year. Costs £100 for the full year. I don’t think I’m going to carry it on. Not really worth it for now.
Hasn't been worth it at all for me. It's all games I've no interest in or have already played. How has Kena bridge of spirits or sifu not been added yet. Looked like a game that would have been in there.

Same. I'm not renewing when mine runs out. I've got too big of a back catalogue already and own most of the titles I want to be playing for the foreseeable future. It seemed a good idea at first but I have too say that beyond Wreckfest and a couple of others, I've barely used it.
 
Also going back down to Essential after upgrading my 12 month for cheap earlier in the year. There's nothing even close to being worth the actual cost of Premium.
 
I think if I was playing it all the time it would possibly be worth it but when I'm rotating time between this, the switch (which I've been neglecting) and PC it's definitely not good enough currently.
 
Err so yeah quick question, if they remove games from the service are they not available to play anymore? Played Ghosts of Tsushima yesterday but can't start it today. Same with Death Stranding? If so that's a bit shit as I want to continue playing and had no idea it would be removed.
Wait, they've taken both of them off? What on earth?
 
Reading the last several posts, I don't really understand why people were even subscribing to Premium. The Extra tier I get the appeal of, but unless you're planning on replaying loads of PS1 and PS2 games, why would you pay the additional fee for Premium? Or are people just getting the tiers mixed up?
 
I can still play it. You lot sure you ain't dreaming?
I can play it after turning on offline play in the settings but the game is gone from the catalouge together with Death Stranding.

To upgrade at the time for me it wasn't that much of an additional cost to pay for the full year and I wanted to try everything it had to offer.

Yep. Checked it a few times and it looked it had absolutely nothing of worth. Just trials and old games.
 
I have had it on for a few days so maybe that's why. Maybe you can't download it anymore but still play it?
Seems that way. Don't know what happens if it actually requires online stuff to play though.

To be fair I don't think this service is for people who already have a big backlog of games they own. For me it's been fantastic although recent months have been poor.

No, I see that, I can see the value it holds and will probably renew when I've got through the games I've already got. I only took on the premium because it was on a good offer at the time.

Premium is a bit shit. I've only played Mafia from it. Maybe I'll give the old Sly Cooper games a go at some point.

But otherwise I've already played shitloads from the extra collection so it's a fee well spent. But the first 6 months were always going to he good for me as I was running behind the gaming world. Main test is how well they update the library in the coming months and years
 
That's just the legends mode right? Never played it anyway.
Was thinking more about other games but I'm happy enough to just finish the story in GoT and move on. Weird that I didn't get a message/notice when I played yesterday.
 
Giving Mass Effect a second go. Been so long I barely remember anything.

All the male Shepard options look like ass. Restarted the game 3 times because it just looks off. Gone with a female shep instead.

I'm looking forward to starting these after I've finished with GOW.
 
So for a PS5 newbie is it worth picking up a subscription?

I was nearly swung to getting an Xbox S with GP given the value and rave reviews people were giving but is Sony not catching up with this both now and with plans in the long term?

I think so. You just missed 35% off on the black friday deals but maybe they'll have offers on over xmas/january if you can wait a bit. In total it worked out around £56 for extra with 35% off and using a £50 PSN gift card from shopto for £42.85. Shopto still have the gift cards discounted so even now you can get 12 months for £76.84 which is good value IMO.
 
If you have enough time on your hands, i would really reccomend PS extra

PS essential is 10$/month, where as PS extra is 15$/month but there are A LOT of good games there. Downloaded Spiderman 2018 there "for free" the other day, and holy feck is it good

Thanks

What kind of games can you play/download for free and what other benefits does it give you?

I’ll definitely look at it in January

I think its definitely worth it. Less than 6 months in and I've played tons of games already. However I'd recommend going through the library once online to see how much it makes sense. Was a no brainer for me.

Here's a list of the current games library. I just finished Miles Morales and am a few hours into Demon's Souls and would highly recommend both. Returnal is also supposed to be brilliant but I haven't gave it a proper go yet.

I'm also currently playing Demon Souls. It's been surprisingly easy for a souls game. But still a great experience.

I've only played DS1 (and about an hour of DS2 before getting fed up with it) so can only compare it to that. I've found the difficulty in general to be similar although I'm enjoying this more than DS1. Less annoying deaths falling off cliffs and ledges etc.

I've played all except Elden Ring and this has been a breeze for me. And I'm pretty bad at FS games. I've beaten a few bosses first time which has been weird. I think it's due to magic being extra powerful.

Could be, I'm playing a strength build character and finding it tough enough. I agree the bosses do seem a bit easier than early DS1 bosses from what I remember.

I think that's why. I read that magic is overpowered after trying to read up if it's easier. So melee must still be tough as feck. Tbf I'm playing a hybrid to keep it fun.
 
The design of the store is so bad, literally found out online that there is a forspoken demo, searched for it, couldn't find it. Googled it and you have to go into the game, click the 3 dots and it's hidden in there, why isn't there a demo section?

There is a demo section now I believe.

Edit: checked the ps app and there is a demos section, and a tile you can't miss mentioning demos :lol: sure I see the section on the ps5 the other day too
