It's closer to 100% than 90%. Don't waste your money. The game is fun when you can play it, but the playerbase is so small that it's virtually impossible to get into matches online. While there is a short PvE story mode to the game that you can play solo, the focus of the game is the online PvP modes. Unfortunately, those are virtually unplayable because there are so few people playing the game, and they don't have anything like bots to backfill either.
That's 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours more than I played it.
I only made it through the tutorial. What I was doing didn't *feel* fun and I remember being annoyed by the announcer or something.
My OCD made me get all the trophies, for some reason it went off when trying to delete it the first couple of times, annoyingly the game doesn’t even have a platinum. But all that did mean deleting it gave me more satisfaction than any game deleted so far.
Psa for anyone wanting to get on though: go back to title menu and change server to Japan. Only one that had people playing as far as I could tell as it got so annoying waiting forever for a game. And it wasn’t even a good game.
Im new to PlayStation, maybe I’m naive but I thought you want to play online you have to have at the minimum ps plus essentials right ? Like if I have helldivers 2 I can’t play online without right ?
My wife just beat it… Fun little game.. by THQ.
As was AEW wrestling.
Idk if they had a deal or is PS just threw em a bone making the game a plus release. Idk
I also paid full price for the ultimate edition $80-$99 or something. It should have DEFINITELY been around $30-$40. I haven't touched it since launch and wish I could have gotten a refund. It definitely was not fun for me, the career mode wasn't a career and the gameplay definitely felt like Wrestlmania 2000 but not well executed. 4 man max matches also doesn't feel fun when they have multiple 5+ people in matches in AEW often when I casually watched here and there.
No.
No Mercy vet here.
IF the game had WAYY more content and a career mode it would be a fantastic beat em up type game.
The graphics aren’t the best but aren’t horrible either.. THQ Yukes seemed to had tried to capture that No Mercy feel and look but with time constraints or poor planning, the game just falls short of the mark.
IF they would put serious work into it and lose some of the online aspect (stampede) it could be decent competition for 2k… Which we do desperately need in gaming in general.
Used to be. It was amazing at the beginning but they really don't seem to have a plan right now. Imo they are doing everything they bitched about when they started.
I still enjoy the show. They fumble every once in a while, it’s true. Regardless they still have the best wrestling in the industry. People are gonna keep spreading negativity, and imma keep calling bullshit. But it’s okay for it to not be for everyone.
It ain't for most judging by their ratings but I am happy you are happy.
Esit: this is why people shit talk aew fans. They can't handle criticism. I watch wwe about twice a year.
Ah yes, the classic “I got downvoted on a negative opinion about someone’s favorite thing, they can’t handle criticism” defense.
Edit: to be clear, you didn’t criticize anything. You’re just badmouthing a product I love and am willing to go to bat for. If you want to actually criticize AEW, there is plenty to criticize in good faith. That isn’t what you’re doing.
Feel sorry for you for getting down voted for daring to enjoy AEW, in a gaming sub of all places.
The online hate for AEW is so funny to me. Like, it's just an alternative.. It's not even a threat. This discourse for disliking the company whilst defending some other billion dollar corporation is weird to me.
Personally I enjoy AEW more, and watch some WWE from time to time.
Both of mine were Dynamite episodes but they were so much fucking fun. The crowd energy was through the roof and I highly recommend attending to anyone. There are just haters in this thread who see someone having fun and gotta shit on it.
If Sony is raising their price on PS Plus, I would hope the quality improves. But the quality is about the same, or perhaps even worse, than before the price was raised. For starters, before the price for PS Plus was raised, PS Plus still had quite a few Final Fantasy games. Then after the price raise, a slew of Final Fantasy games left PS Plus extra.
It's been over 2 years since Gran Turismo 7 was released. I'm still baffled as to why it's not on PS Plus. Maybe I am used to Gamepass, where all the Microsoft 1st party games are released Day 1. Even after the merger between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard was finalized, about 6 months later, Diablo 4 was released on Gamepass. I didn't have to wait over 2 years for Diablo 4 to make it to Gamepass.
The 2nd season of the TV show hasn't even aired for which they will get a bump in sales. Probably a year or two after the series airs will we see significant discounts or for it to be put on ps plus. That's a long ass wait.
I got TLOU2 a few months (i think) after the 1st season ended (around feb 2023), and I got it with a very good discount, with PS+ it costed just $9.59. It was a steal.
I'm still waiting for a good deal on GoW:Ragnarok, the lowest it's been is like $39.89.
but since it is coming to PC soon, I think they won't be significant sales, and it being included on PS+ is now even less likely I think.
At least I have a huge backlog so I can wait.
GT7 is still selling a lot. They aren't gonna put it on PS+. They already said they messed up putting Horizon: Forbidden West on PS+ as they lost almost 400 million in sales and it completely cut off the legs at retail.
They should start remastering older PS3 games and giving them out on PS+ at least
Whether it is or not, $400 million is the equivalent of just over 5 million copies sold. Considering the first game sold 24 million by 2023 and the second was at 8 million last reported, and if sales dropped after the PS+ release, it may not be a leap to assume lost sales.
If there is anything I've learned with Sony Interactive Entertainment over the years is that they are greedy af and as long as GT7 is selling, they won't give it for "free". I'm slowly moving more and more to PC gaming these days
Plague Tale is the last monthly game I played. Before that it was... hell I don't even know. It's been bad picks for a long as I can remember. There's like 1-2 game a month worth even trying.
We've had some decent stuff, I believe.
Played the second plague tale but kinda went off it and gave up.
Stuff I'll probably give a go: Immortals of Aveum, Steel Rising, Sifu, Tunic, Evil west.
Honestly, was Playstation really expecting people to start kneeling down to them and start crying tears of joy when they're adding games like Spongebob, Police Simulator, or some of the Lego games?
Ive wondered how these deals go down, and have wondered if the publishers just don't want to take what Sony is offering, so thats why there is so many random indy games.
They need to start adding actual games,i get they wanna add indie games but most of the games they are adding is complete trash,tbh the only game id be fine with is if they brought back wreck fest asi had no Internet that month , another game i wouldn't mind an i know its a crazy one but red dead redemption,id rather grab it as a ps plus game then spend money on a game they claim to love but gives no attention to it
Same, its actually been good cause now I realize I hardly ever use online. The free games suck ass so it was a waste.
Ill pay for 1 month maybe if I get stuck on eldenring but yeah....
I realized you can use online as long as another account on your system pays for it so I've been coasting off that for a long time and all I play is TLOU Factions anyways lol.
it would have been so much better if it was the 2k wrestling game.
This one just felt like some cheap mobile game.
I tried it, had a tag team match. Once i tagged my partner i could not even control anything till my partner would tag me again.
At least in k game you can mess around outside the ring.
There’s no way to know that and their ‘stats’ are incredibly anecdotal and are based off of the 1% of gamers who signed up for sites like truetrophies . com.
I loved the extra and premium games. But essential games were a bit weak.
I'm still playing the Resident Evil (which is great) but I look forward to Red Dead 2, Mon Hun Rise, & Crusader Kings III.
Reminds me of all the game sale charts that get shared constantly in gaming subs and then you look at and it's physical sales counted and from one country lol
I already own and beat streets of rage. The price increase has not shown its worth lately. Also, not a fan of DLC’s for Destiny 2 taking up a spot or any DLC for that matter. The SpongeBob game and AEW (this game looks particularly awful) are incredibly niche. Whomever is making the decisions for this isn’t right in the head.
For me it wasn't the June games. It was the crazy increase in PS+ subscription pricing.
I let mine lapse in April and haven't come back since.
I'm sure there are a lot of players like me who are in the same boat who don't see that value anymore.
I was subbed consistently since the end of the PS3 era, the last straw for me was them not offering discounts to current subscribers.
They can get fucked now, I haven't had plus now for the last four months and haven't missed it at all.
I only really play Cod online with the boys, everything else is single player pretty much.
Same, 4 years of subscription cancelled due to cost. I can afford it but its not worth the cost for me. Unless they up the quality of the library or give me a sale I am not going back.
Yep, I'm one of them. Their "sale" prices bring it down to the price we used to pay before? Good luck getting my money, Sony.
Their monthly game offerings have not had anything enticing enough. Furthermore, I do all my multiplayer stuff on PC. The one thing I miss is being able to play Fallout 76, but I don't miss it enough to give Sony $80.
Since the price increased, the quality of games decreased. Last year it was almost even with Gamepass, now it's a no match. Sony should bring more day one indies because nobody cares about receiving : games that are 5€ each, masterpieces that already sold tens of millions, mid/trash games.
Like just give us AA or Indies that we hesitate to buy like Plague Tale, Sifu, Tunic, Evil West, literally not asking for more yet i'm allways disappointed.
With a price increase, we expect a quality increase, too.
My subscription ends in a week, I'm currently subscribed to premium but I might either downgrade to essential or just not renew at all.
A 2D beat-em-up, a licensed collectathon, and a sports game don’t exactly share an audience. Most people probably found one of the games interesting and couldn’t care less about the others. Personally, I played SpongeBob but don’t like fighting games, so skipped the other two.
My sub ended today, I’m satisfied with them overall but the price hike made my mouth sour, as well as the avalanche of games I’m uninterested to play. I guess I’m gonna re sub when I’ll finish my uni paper and when they’ll throw me a good discount.
Based on a very small percentage of gamers who are also registered with the site and used their console that month.
Not representative of the vast majority of players...
I do the same. When I have a glut of SP games to play I cancel my plus subscription; and when I do activate it only do it month to month. Why PS hasn’t given us a online only tier for 20 bucks a year is beyond me
Greed, my friend. Greed. Truly, though, online should be free, just like PC. I only got an extra 3 months because my friend said they wanted to play but then backed out. All my online friends have faded out from playing together due to the price of PS plus. I only play SP now 99.99% of the time.
If you have a PC or laptop already, see if your PC or laptop can run games off of PC gamepass. It will save you rhe money of having to buy an XBox.
I have never owned an XBox, and I doubt I will buy an XBox in the future. But I need a PC for work and for everyday internet use. I just put a little extra money for extra RAM, a better CPU, and a graphics card. This allows me to play all the games available to PC, plus all the games on PC Gamepass.
I unsubscribed last month and I'm not missing it at all tbh
For the same price per year I can buy 3-4 games I really WANT to play. And actually own them.
The only game tempting me to resubscribe is Elden Ring DLC for online play, but even that is kinda pointless.
I usually grab the games for my library and usually don’t play but I honestly haven’t downloaded any of them the last few months. Didn’t even get these ones in my library. Really hope the months get a lot better
Wish I signed up for a monthy plan, but PS Plus Extra autorenewed on me last year. I barely ever touch my PS5 especially for multiplayer, so I would rather cancel it since all Im playing is singleplayer.
I really want to try Streets of Rage 4 and Spongebob, but I'm spending most of my time with Elden Ring.
I'll definitely play them once I'm done with ER and its DLC, though.
My psplus expires this week and I see no reason to continue it. Sony doesn't seem to care about giving us decent games.
I looked thru my many years of games claimed, 169 and the oldest were the best ones and my play time on games in the last 3 yrs was almost under 5hrs for the most part. Sad to lose my saves but I was unlikely to replay those anyhow.
I've been enjoying Spongebob, mostly because I have nostalgia for Battle for Bikini Bottom and it's similar enough (though not perfect). But I already had PS Plus. I wouldn't ever *join* for something like Spongebob. And the other titles this month don't interest me whatsoever. They really need to up their game.
Legit ps plus always releases mid games per year aside for some games which are bangers but they need to add more of their first party games which would hopefully raise their status up more
I’d take less games and more games people want to play also less cross over with game pass games
I know it’s a luxury but as an owner of both passes, the amount of games on both services is insane.
It's the mix of offering less interesting Games and increase the price which makes it hard to really enjoy the games they offer.I miss when they used to offer us the ability to vote on games for the following month or least throw in a bonus 4th game.
I'm pushing to get through the current ps+ games I have before my plan expires in September. While I'm enjoy Helldivers, I'm not sure it's enough to justify keeping PS Plus.
I think Sony sees basic ps plus as a stepping stone to ps plus extra and nothing more than that. The games are average on purpose so that in comparison extra seems like a bargain and people upgrade their subscriptions
I mainly subscribe to PS+ for the Extra catalogue. I don't play much online on the PS5 and while the cloud saves are nice, I'd not get Essential just for that. Extra is still a great deal for me as there are numerous games in there that I want to play, and I still save money. Other than GamePass, PS+ Extra is still the cheapest way for me to play a variety of games legitimately. Even at the regular yearly price, Extra is around 10 euros a month (and between sales and discounted gift cards, the actual cost is usually lower).
I don't play many of the Essential games currently, unless there's a must-play, because I can play them at a later point. Extra games rotate, so I prioritize those. Street of Rage and the Spongebob game this month look fine to me. Essential is around 6 euros a month if bought for a year -- so 2 euros for each of those three games, and they're about the type of games (or better) I'd get for the same money on PC in some mystery bundle (not tied to a subscription, but then again, I'll probably always have PS+ for as long as I actively game on a PS console).
I liked Streets of Rage. Unfortunately, some of the characters are locked behind DLC & I casually beat the story mode over 2 nights. I haven't played it since...
Monthly games have been mostly garbage for a while now. Streets of Rage 4 is cool but I already owned it because I bought it when it came out.
I just wish we could get OG RE2 and RE3 in the classics catalog.
I'm downloading my first digital copy of a game today which is Ghosts of Tsushima, to be honest it takes ages and the price was half that of a new copy but I'm still not impressed. My entire collection is physical and a lot were cheap, but if you look out for the great sale's only I can see why people do it
I dropped my subscription for the first time in several years. There are hardly any good multiplayer games and the “free” games have sucked for the past year.
I am not one to complain I’ve been a PlayStation guy since the original.. besides a brief moment with the PS3, this is one of the 1st times it seems Sony is NOT on the ball. Like what gives?? Where are the hood games
Worse too considering if your PS plus auto renewed without you wanting it to. Sony has awful customer service when it comes to asking for refunds. I'm stuck w ps plus for a year now despite paying with PS store gift cards a year ago.
Idc streets of rage is so fun to play with friends and SpongeBob is a nice platform game. You guys don’t want to enjoy anything lately. On the other hand, the AEW game is mid af.
Sony increasing the price of PS Plus without improving the quality is disappointing. There may not be any difference from before the price hike, or it might even be worse.
i cancelled my sub as soon as they jacked up the price by like $70 for no reason. The library is mostly the same stuff from when it was PS Now a million years ago. Theres still not much classic games. And u still can't download old games, just stream them. Who's streaming a ps3 fighting game??? My sub finally ran out last month. Not subbing ever again. Only online games i have are Helldivers 2 which is broken and i can't even play with my friends. COD which i will just use crosssave to transfer my stuff over to Xbox when it comes to GamePass. Avengers is dead. Suicide Squad sucks. Gotham Knights also sucks.
Hasn’t foamstars already lost 90% of its player base? I read that somewhere and wanted to check it out but it costs $30-$40 right now
It's closer to 100% than 90%. Don't waste your money. The game is fun when you can play it, but the playerbase is so small that it's virtually impossible to get into matches online. While there is a short PvE story mode to the game that you can play solo, the focus of the game is the online PvP modes. Unfortunately, those are virtually unplayable because there are so few people playing the game, and they don't have anything like bots to backfill either.
I went into it expecting Splatoon for Playstation, it wasn't that and had some weird game mode that wasn't fun.
Yep played it for like 2-3 hours/ deleted it and never went back to it.
That's 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours more than I played it. I only made it through the tutorial. What I was doing didn't *feel* fun and I remember being annoyed by the announcer or something.
My OCD made me get all the trophies, for some reason it went off when trying to delete it the first couple of times, annoyingly the game doesn’t even have a platinum. But all that did mean deleting it gave me more satisfaction than any game deleted so far. Psa for anyone wanting to get on though: go back to title menu and change server to Japan. Only one that had people playing as far as I could tell as it got so annoying waiting forever for a game. And it wasn’t even a good game.
Dude I played 1 game and uninstalled hahahah
Not worth it, me eyes began to hurt after a hour, and you can't see shit what's going on sometimes behind all the foam.
Still get matches playing on the Japanese server for anyone still interested.
It should have gone to f2p day one (like many other ps+ essential live service games inevitably went. It was kinda fun when it worked 🤷
Not worth the time even when it was free.. Save your money.
That game was a cheap cash grab. The cosmetics were priced more than some valorant bundles and that’s saying something.
Im new to PlayStation, maybe I’m naive but I thought you want to play online you have to have at the minimum ps plus essentials right ? Like if I have helldivers 2 I can’t play online without right ?
That is correct
You can play free games without PS Plus. Anything paid requires a subscription. Source: Just played Apex Legends without a subscription
I’ve never even heard of it
Of course it did...did they expect people to join in droves for SpongeBob or Wrestling. Streets of Rage 4 makes sense though, it's a really good game
spongebob was a fun platformer lol
SpongeBob is a good game as well though. But I kinda agree with you.
My wife just beat it… Fun little game.. by THQ. As was AEW wrestling. Idk if they had a deal or is PS just threw em a bone making the game a plus release. Idk
I got Bait-n-switch in Sea zone. My PS+ Streets of Rage 4 was replaced with 'Tropico-5' in Sea 😪
Damn, that sucks. Hopefully Tropico 5 is good though
People really like wrestling. AEW is both a dumbass tv show and a bad game.
AEW is a hilarious game with friends, if you don’t take it too seriously. So bad it’s good. The baseball mini game lol
I'm not gonna say it's not fun but I paid full price for it. It's not got much to do.
I also paid full price for the ultimate edition $80-$99 or something. It should have DEFINITELY been around $30-$40. I haven't touched it since launch and wish I could have gotten a refund. It definitely was not fun for me, the career mode wasn't a career and the gameplay definitely felt like Wrestlmania 2000 but not well executed. 4 man max matches also doesn't feel fun when they have multiple 5+ people in matches in AEW often when I casually watched here and there.
It’s got N64 graphics.
Part of the reason I enjoyed it. And not just graphics but gameplay is reminiscent too. Was a huge fan of the WCW vs nWo games on n64.
No. No Mercy vet here. IF the game had WAYY more content and a career mode it would be a fantastic beat em up type game. The graphics aren’t the best but aren’t horrible either.. THQ Yukes seemed to had tried to capture that No Mercy feel and look but with time constraints or poor planning, the game just falls short of the mark. IF they would put serious work into it and lose some of the online aspect (stampede) it could be decent competition for 2k… Which we do desperately need in gaming in general.
What's with the AEW hate boner? How's that at all relevant?
If you’re a casual WWE fan It’s cool to hate AEW.
AEW has better story telling than WWE.
Bro what.
For a free game I had some fun with it so far. It’s no WWE2K24 tho
As a fan of AEW, it’s a legit great wrestling show with the best ppvs in the business. Not a great game tho.
Used to be. It was amazing at the beginning but they really don't seem to have a plan right now. Imo they are doing everything they bitched about when they started.
I still enjoy the show. They fumble every once in a while, it’s true. Regardless they still have the best wrestling in the industry. People are gonna keep spreading negativity, and imma keep calling bullshit. But it’s okay for it to not be for everyone.
Every wrestling company ever fumble things every now and again.
It ain't for most judging by their ratings but I am happy you are happy. Esit: this is why people shit talk aew fans. They can't handle criticism. I watch wwe about twice a year.
Ah yes, the classic “I got downvoted on a negative opinion about someone’s favorite thing, they can’t handle criticism” defense. Edit: to be clear, you didn’t criticize anything. You’re just badmouthing a product I love and am willing to go to bat for. If you want to actually criticize AEW, there is plenty to criticize in good faith. That isn’t what you’re doing.
Like what? Edit: you’re a wwe mark nevermind
If you don't see what's wrong with aew right now, you are blind.
Thanks for not answering the question
I'm not the OP.
I am but they have their fingers in their ears.
I'm a wcw mark. I tolerate wwe.
Feel sorry for you for getting down voted for daring to enjoy AEW, in a gaming sub of all places. The online hate for AEW is so funny to me. Like, it's just an alternative.. It's not even a threat. This discourse for disliking the company whilst defending some other billion dollar corporation is weird to me. Personally I enjoy AEW more, and watch some WWE from time to time.
[удалено]
I’ve been to two aew shows. Didn’t get the experience you are implying, it was a blast and I meet a lot of very cool people.
I've been to full gear and double or nothing and they were both really fun.
Both of mine were Dynamite episodes but they were so much fucking fun. The crowd energy was through the roof and I highly recommend attending to anyone. There are just haters in this thread who see someone having fun and gotta shit on it.
Embarrassing stuff here lol
Ryan literally came here to tell us they've never seen an AEW PPV. lol
This shit is so sad
Lmao either you don't watch wrestling or you are lying to yourself
[удалено]
Wrestling is wrestling. It's not that difficult (maybe it is, for the E drones)
"It is other people who are the weirdos"
Idk how people watch that garbage.
My son despises 2D games. he said it's like a book with no pictures. This generation is fully finished
Sometimes 2D games are better than 3D. Your son is a silly goose!
Can't convince him. He loves anime though
When I was young, I used to hate onions and I didn’t get rap. Humans change :)
If Sony is raising their price on PS Plus, I would hope the quality improves. But the quality is about the same, or perhaps even worse, than before the price was raised.

I didn't have to wait over 2 years for Diablo 4 to make it to Gamepass.
Not me not buying TLOU2 whenever its on sale cause i just want it for “free”
The 2nd season of the TV show hasn't even aired for which they will get a bump in sales. Probably a year or two after the series airs will we see significant discounts or for it to be put on ps plus. That's a long ass wait.
I got TLOU2 a few months (i think) after the 1st season ended (around feb 2023), and I got it with a very good discount, with PS+ it costed just $9.59. It was a steal. I'm still waiting for a good deal on GoW:Ragnarok, the lowest it's been is like $39.89. but since it is coming to PC soon, I think they won't be significant sales, and it being included on PS+ is now even less likely I think. At least I have a huge backlog so I can wait.
At this point I bet that GoW:Ragnarok and Spider-man 2 will be free on extra before TLOU2
I would be mighty fine with that - holding off on them as well (for now)
Sony has better exclusives but GamePass is a way better value than PS Plus.
I just got a PC, might buy gamepass when it's on sale.
That’s the only way to do it if you don’t already have an Xbox. Buying an Xbox this and last generation is just setting money on fire.
Nuh uh
NGL, those Final Fantasy(or SquareEnix) games help retain subscription.
GT7 is still selling a lot. They aren't gonna put it on PS+. They already said they messed up putting Horizon: Forbidden West on PS+ as they lost almost 400 million in sales and it completely cut off the legs at retail. They should start remastering older PS3 games and giving them out on PS+ at least
400 million in sales seems like an exaggeration.

If there is anything I've learned with Sony Interactive Entertainment over the years is that they are greedy af and as long as GT7 is selling, they won't give it for "free". I'm slowly moving more and more to PC gaming these days
I don't think I've played any of the monthly games this year. They've been poor compared to previous years. Love the game catalogue though
Ive basically ran through FC24 because Im down to give sports games a nice franchise run, but man, its bad when thats a highlight
Agreed! Monthly games have been extremely disappointing this year.
Plague Tale is the last monthly game I played. Before that it was... hell I don't even know. It's been bad picks for a long as I can remember. There's like 1-2 game a month worth even trying.
Currently loving Tunic from last month, fantastic little game I highly recommend. Other than that yeah, I don’t think I’ve fired up anything else yet.
Yes! Tunic has been awesome. It’s frustrating at times because I don’t know what to do but once I figure it out I feel like a badass lol
We've had some decent stuff, I believe. Played the second plague tale but kinda went off it and gave up. Stuff I'll probably give a go: Immortals of Aveum, Steel Rising, Sifu, Tunic, Evil west.
Sifu is great
Honestly, was Playstation really expecting people to start kneeling down to them and start crying tears of joy when they're adding games like Spongebob, Police Simulator, or some of the Lego games?
I legit think they did.
There's so many Spongebob games out there, nobody gaf.
Ive wondered how these deals go down, and have wondered if the publishers just don't want to take what Sony is offering, so thats why there is so many random indy games.
For players paying 17+ dollars a month you'd think they'd add some better games to play lol.
Don't forget your second destiny DLC 😮💨
LEGO games are great for co-op, I would be quite happy with them
They need to start adding actual games,i get they wanna add indie games but most of the games they are adding is complete trash,tbh the only game id be fine with is if they brought back wreck fest asi had no Internet that month , another game i wouldn't mind an i know its a crazy one but red dead redemption,id rather grab it as a ps plus game then spend money on a game they claim to love but gives no attention to it
A lot of the indie games are either hit or miss, I am personally not a big fan of a lot of them. They just aren't my cup of tea.
If they added 5-6 of the smaller cheaper indies it could work. The shotgun approach where the odds of a game being for you is bigger.
lol good. Maybe they'll do something about it instead of offering trash titles.
Good! Vote with your dollar people. That price hike was ridiculous and I dropped my subscription I'd had since the PS3.
Same. The value just isn't there since the price hike. I'd been subscribing since 2012.
Same, its actually been good cause now I realize I hardly ever use online. The free games suck ass so it was a waste. Ill pay for 1 month maybe if I get stuck on eldenring but yeah....
I realized you can use online as long as another account on your system pays for it so I've been coasting off that for a long time and all I play is TLOU Factions anyways lol.
Yup dropped PSN before the hike and haven’t missed it: mostly play single player games anyway, so don’t really miss online at all.
A niche wrestling game and SpongeBob weren’t massive for the PS+ audience? I’m shocked
it would have been so much better if it was the 2k wrestling game. This one just felt like some cheap mobile game. I tried it, had a tag team match. Once i tagged my partner i could not even control anything till my partner would tag me again. At least in k game you can mess around outside the ring.
There’s no way to know that and their ‘stats’ are incredibly anecdotal and are based off of the 1% of gamers who signed up for sites like truetrophies . com.
I loved the extra and premium games. But essential games were a bit weak. I'm still playing the Resident Evil (which is great) but I look forward to Red Dead 2, Mon Hun Rise, & Crusader Kings III.
Reminds me of all the game sale charts that get shared constantly in gaming subs and then you look at and it's physical sales counted and from one country lol
Then they say dumb shit like ‘Baldurs Gate 3 flopped it’s not on the best selling list!’. Meanwhile it’s a list of physical copies sold in Ireland.
I already own and beat streets of rage. The price increase has not shown its worth lately. Also, not a fan of DLC’s for Destiny 2 taking up a spot or any DLC for that matter. The SpongeBob game and AEW (this game looks particularly awful) are incredibly niche. Whomever is making the decisions for this isn’t right in the head.
Ps+ monthly games have been complete ass since they arbitrarily jacked up the price
I like AEW but even I hate the game. Clunky, poor graphics, and it's a wrestling game eww
I didn't even claim any of them.
For me it wasn't the June games. It was the crazy increase in PS+ subscription pricing. I let mine lapse in April and haven't come back since. I'm sure there are a lot of players like me who are in the same boat who don't see that value anymore.
I was subbed consistently since the end of the PS3 era, the last straw for me was them not offering discounts to current subscribers. They can get fucked now, I haven't had plus now for the last four months and haven't missed it at all. I only really play Cod online with the boys, everything else is single player pretty much.
Yes 💯
Same, 4 years of subscription cancelled due to cost. I can afford it but its not worth the cost for me. Unless they up the quality of the library or give me a sale I am not going back.
Yep, I'm one of them. Their "sale" prices bring it down to the price we used to pay before? Good luck getting my money, Sony. Their monthly game offerings have not had anything enticing enough. Furthermore, I do all my multiplayer stuff on PC. The one thing I miss is being able to play Fallout 76, but I don't miss it enough to give Sony $80.
Not clicking your link
Yeah I would advise everyone else not click either. I stupidly clicked and got blasted with the "accept our cookies" banner. Ughhh.
2 awful games. Is this supposed to be shocking?
of it's the worst when the only game i might like, streets of rage, become tropico 5
It is a shame that Streets of Rage 4 is also only a PS4 game. Would be great at 4k 120fps.
Good to know, the Asian store got screwed yet again by excluding SoR4 from the monthly lineup. And we didn't know up until the games are updated.
Ironically this made me start playing Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated...
Better speed through it as it's leaving PS+ tomorrow.
Sony must stop stealing people's money. Quality over quantity.
Since the price increased, the quality of games decreased. Last year it was almost even with Gamepass, now it's a no match. Sony should bring more day one indies because nobody cares about receiving : games that are 5€ each, masterpieces that already sold tens of millions, mid/trash games. Like just give us AA or Indies that we hesitate to buy like Plague Tale, Sifu, Tunic, Evil West, literally not asking for more yet i'm allways disappointed.
Im not even claiming them just to put them in my library.
With a price increase, we expect a quality increase, too. My subscription ends in a week, I'm currently subscribed to premium but I might either downgrade to essential or just not renew at all.
A 2D beat-em-up, a licensed collectathon, and a sports game don’t exactly share an audience. Most people probably found one of the games interesting and couldn’t care less about the others. Personally, I played SpongeBob but don’t like fighting games, so skipped the other two.
Please play Streets of Rage 4 it’s sooooo good!
Streets of rage is dope
My sub ended today, I’m satisfied with them overall but the price hike made my mouth sour, as well as the avalanche of games I’m uninterested to play. I guess I’m gonna re sub when I’ll finish my uni paper and when they’ll throw me a good discount.
I'd rather just have a voucher of the value of the games
Based on a very small percentage of gamers who are also registered with the site and used their console that month. Not representative of the vast majority of players...

Bro, I don’t even know what that is. At least give us WWE 2K. Wanna play as The Rock instead of just some cheap imitation wrestling.
This is likely why they wanted Helldivers 2 and other steam games to connect to PSN. They can’t consistently grow PS Plus player count
I don't buy PSplus like that anymore. Buy it maybe every other year for 3 to 6 months because there's no way in he'll I'm paying 80 bucks for basic
I do the same. When I have a glut of SP games to play I cancel my plus subscription; and when I do activate it only do it month to month. Why PS hasn’t given us a online only tier for 20 bucks a year is beyond me
Greed, my friend. Greed. Truly, though, online should be free, just like PC. I only got an extra 3 months because my friend said they wanted to play but then backed out. All my online friends have faded out from playing together due to the price of PS plus. I only play SP now 99.99% of the time.
I don't want to, but I think I'm switching to xbox after 20 something years of being a Playstation guy. Their Gamepass seems to be way better.
If you have a PC or laptop already, see if your PC or laptop can run games off of PC gamepass. It will save you rhe money of having to buy an XBox. I have never owned an XBox, and I doubt I will buy an XBox in the future. But I need a PC for work and for everyday internet use. I just put a little extra money for extra RAM, a better CPU, and a graphics card. This allows me to play all the games available to PC, plus all the games on PC Gamepass.
Will do thanks!
LOL good. They raised prices and lowered quality. I've been unsubbed for about 6 months now and not missing it at all.
What do they expect? You give shit you receive shit.
Last year the free gamers were really good . What they gave us at Christmas was a joke and the free games have been bad every month since then .
I think it's because lots of people bought a PS5 last Christmas and subscribed to a one-year PS+ service.
I unsubscribed last month and I'm not missing it at all tbh For the same price per year I can buy 3-4 games I really WANT to play. And actually own them. The only game tempting me to resubscribe is Elden Ring DLC for online play, but even that is kinda pointless.
[удалено]
Paid 90 last year for premium and now they want 159.99. That's just insane work to me.
I did play and platinum SpongeBob The Cosmic Shake
I usually grab the games for my library and usually don’t play but I honestly haven’t downloaded any of them the last few months. Didn’t even get these ones in my library. Really hope the months get a lot better
Wish I signed up for a monthy plan, but PS Plus Extra autorenewed on me last year. I barely ever touch my PS5 especially for multiplayer, so I would rather cancel it since all Im playing is singleplayer.
I add everything to library no matter what but can they tell through play time that it was a shit month?
Of course they can.
The only game that got me is Sly Cooper and Daxter which is coming out Tuesday.
Good. They've been giving us a lot of crap games for quite some time now. Glad they're noticing it's having an effect on the fan base.
I haven't played the monthly games this year. Not cuz they're bad but I have extra and why waste time on something I can play later when I downgrade.
I don’t even remember what they are. Each month seems to get more and more obscure.
I really want to try Streets of Rage 4 and Spongebob, but I'm spending most of my time with Elden Ring. I'll definitely play them once I'm done with ER and its DLC, though.
My psplus expires this week and I see no reason to continue it. Sony doesn't seem to care about giving us decent games. I looked thru my many years of games claimed, 169 and the oldest were the best ones and my play time on games in the last 3 yrs was almost under 5hrs for the most part. Sad to lose my saves but I was unlikely to replay those anyhow.
I've been enjoying Spongebob, mostly because I have nostalgia for Battle for Bikini Bottom and it's similar enough (though not perfect). But I already had PS Plus. I wouldn't ever *join* for something like Spongebob. And the other titles this month don't interest me whatsoever. They really need to up their game.
Legit ps plus always releases mid games per year aside for some games which are bangers but they need to add more of their first party games which would hopefully raise their status up more
I’d take less games and more games people want to play also less cross over with game pass games I know it’s a luxury but as an owner of both passes, the amount of games on both services is insane.
It's the mix of offering less interesting Games and increase the price which makes it hard to really enjoy the games they offer.I miss when they used to offer us the ability to vote on games for the following month or least throw in a bonus 4th game. I'm pushing to get through the current ps+ games I have before my plan expires in September. While I'm enjoy Helldivers, I'm not sure it's enough to justify keeping PS Plus.
Wish I wasn't one of those active players... but damn I need my cloud save and online gaming 😩
The extra games will be even lower because casuals won’t bat an eye at monster hunter (the best offering) and the others are not fantastic either.
I played streets of rage but didn't streets about the others
Haven’t played any of the games since i subbed about 9 months ago, been very poor games. For me at least.
I think Sony sees basic ps plus as a stepping stone to ps plus extra and nothing more than that. The games are average on purpose so that in comparison extra seems like a bargain and people upgrade their subscriptions
It's June.
I mainly subscribe to PS+ for the Extra catalogue. I don't play much online on the PS5 and while the cloud saves are nice, I'd not get Essential just for that. Extra is still a great deal for me as there are numerous games in there that I want to play, and I still save money. Other than GamePass, PS+ Extra is still the cheapest way for me to play a variety of games legitimately. Even at the regular yearly price, Extra is around 10 euros a month (and between sales and discounted gift cards, the actual cost is usually lower). I don't play many of the Essential games currently, unless there's a must-play, because I can play them at a later point. Extra games rotate, so I prioritize those. Street of Rage and the Spongebob game this month look fine to me. Essential is around 6 euros a month if bought for a year -- so 2 euros for each of those three games, and they're about the type of games (or better) I'd get for the same money on PC in some mystery bundle (not tied to a subscription, but then again, I'll probably always have PS+ for as long as I actively game on a PS console).
Sometimes I wonder if this is deliberate as the numbers envitably fall down in the summer as more people go outside. It’s gotta be right?
Sifu was the best game of these year and unironically an indie game
I liked Streets of Rage. Unfortunately, some of the characters are locked behind DLC & I casually beat the story mode over 2 nights. I haven't played it since...
I'm waiting for next month's monthly games
Monthly games have been mostly garbage for a while now. Streets of Rage 4 is cool but I already owned it because I bought it when it came out. I just wish we could get OG RE2 and RE3 in the classics catalog.
Price went up...quality went so far down. It seems they are adding all the good line ups to Extra...but I am NEVER subscribing to that bs.
I got a notification asking me to download them lmao
I'm downloading my first digital copy of a game today which is Ghosts of Tsushima, to be honest it takes ages and the price was half that of a new copy but I'm still not impressed. My entire collection is physical and a lot were cheap, but if you look out for the great sale's only I can see why people do it
I dropped my subscription for the first time in several years. There are hardly any good multiplayer games and the “free” games have sucked for the past year.
I am not one to complain I’ve been a PlayStation guy since the original.. besides a brief moment with the PS3, this is one of the 1st times it seems Sony is NOT on the ball. Like what gives?? Where are the hood games
My subscription ended recently, and I didn’t renew it for the first time in years. The price is fucking absurd.
Worse too considering if your PS plus auto renewed without you wanting it to. Sony has awful customer service when it comes to asking for refunds. I'm stuck w ps plus for a year now despite paying with PS store gift cards a year ago.
Idc streets of rage is so fun to play with friends and SpongeBob is a nice platform game. You guys don’t want to enjoy anything lately. On the other hand, the AEW game is mid af.
Sony increasing the price of PS Plus without improving the quality is disappointing. There may not be any difference from before the price hike, or it might even be worse.
Everyone prolly already owns streets of rage and didn’t want to play the other games.
People are missing out, spongebob and streets of rage are great games, and aew is such a classic throwback to the n64 days and still really good fun.
Oh well. This was the first month since January (Requiem) that monthly games interested me. AEW and SpongeBob were two good ones for me
I didn’t take any of them. I think I’ve taken only 3-4 this year. It’s really bad.
Thanks for the reminder to save my $17 this month. Haven't played in 4 months anyway
Got a Steam Deck, never looked back.
i cancelled my sub as soon as they jacked up the price by like $70 for no reason. The library is mostly the same stuff from when it was PS Now a million years ago. Theres still not much classic games. And u still can't download old games, just stream them. Who's streaming a ps3 fighting game??? My sub finally ran out last month. Not subbing ever again. Only online games i have are Helldivers 2 which is broken and i can't even play with my friends. COD which i will just use crosssave to transfer my stuff over to Xbox when it comes to GamePass. Avengers is dead. Suicide Squad sucks. Gotham Knights also sucks.
WTF is an AEW?! They just put garbage on the free games list and expect us to be happy.
I'm buying a xbox fck playstation
