PlayStation Plus Free Games of October for PS4, PS3, and Vita Include Driveclub: Plus Edition

<< LINK REMOVED >> "free version" is a portion of a sentence describing how it is much more than a demo. It has multiplayer and unlimited playability and a whole bunch of other things more than a regular demo would.

Who could possibly complain about that? :-)

<< LINK REMOVED >> Very well said, I pre-ordered ages ago and as soon as I read pretty much the exact points you mentioned... I cancelled.

Only 50 cars, only 5 tracks, no open world, no car customization.. No buy.

I'm waiting for the PS Plus edition to tide me over until The Crew comes out.

How dare they say "55 tracks with 5 locations"

It is 5 tracks, 5 locations and 55 variations. Truly a massive disappointment that we had to wait this long for something so lacking in content.

<< LINK REMOVED >> you realize that there is quite a huge difference between the PS4's game library and the PS3's right? Obviously Sony can only give so much away with only a year under it's belt.

You have no clue what an indie is and what it takes to develope a game. The zise and the scope of the game have nothin to do with it been indie. Educate yourself

You realize graphics are the easiest part of game development right? Level design, game concept, code base, etc. are the difficult and complex parts. AAA games use game engines with tools so easy anyone that's used PS can use them for their graphics, and usually they are sequels so textures and significant code is reused. I'd say indie development is not difficult than AAA.

It's cool if you don't like indie games or if you feel the hardware of new consoles must be used to justify the purchase, but to say indie development is easy compared to AAA games is unfounded.

<< LINK REMOVED >> If you do the currency conversions for most of the regions that had their prices raised, you would discover that there aren't more than a few (if any) regions that have a higher price for PS+ than North America has. They were basically making it cost the same everywhere, which one might argue "Why would they not do this right away when they release PS+ subscriptions to the public?" My best guess to answer that would be that they did when they released the subscriptions, but what caused them to raise the price would be the ever-changing economy in some countries where, for example, the price when it was released was probably equivalent to the NA price, but the economy probably sunk in this region, eventually causing the PS+ subscription price to be CHEAPER in these regions. Therefore, for Sony not to lose money, the needed to raise the price in these regions.

And nowhere was there a '50% price hike' in the fee, just sayin....

<< LINK REMOVED >> Haha, the term Emo still makes me laugh after all these years. My god people are sheep.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Don't like Plus, Then don't buy it. You sound like entitled children. It's $4.16 a month, I think you can skip a happy meal once in a while to afford that.

<< LINK REMOVED >> yes, where are the games that are still selling for $40 new EACH on our $50 yearly subscription.

<< LINK REMOVED >>

You'd think they could at least do Knack at this stage. I can't imagine any copies of it are still selling.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I wouldn't go that far. Sony is certainly more prolific in the number of games they make available with the subscription, across three platforms, regardless of the value one places on those games - and they have released many acclaimed AAA titles on the PS3 and Vita. It would also be more accurate to compare PS+ with Live!, since GWG is just a label Microsoft assigns to its initiative to release "free" games on Live!. I think PS+ wins out handily.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Here's my opinion of your comment:

<< LINK REMOVED >>

@NightRain I stopped playing - it's free, so definitely give it a try, but...

The game has adorable graphics, very nice. The environments are cool and the monsters relatively diverse (although you encounter a lot of the same monsters in different settings, which is weird).

The biggest strength is the combat system, which allows you to be really strategic. It has very solid combat, and the leveling of your character along with upgrading of your gear adds to that.

The biggest weakness is the game's plot and quests are soulless - not only are the characters flat, but the overarching goal of the game, along with its sidequests, are unenthralling to say the least. I didn't think this would bother me, but in the end it did - it turns the game into a total grindfest.

Which is really unfortunate, because, again, the combat is quite good - so if there was any soul to the game it would probably be a "9" or something. Instead it becomes mediocre pretty fast.

Anyway, that's my opinion - I know some reviewers were pretty positive, so... different strokes for different folks. You might love it.
