Title of thread: Playstation Plus Discussion Thread - FAQ in first post

From first post:

I only have a Vita/PS3 so I don't need the games for the other system
Even if you only have one of the consoles, add all the games to the download list anyway. You never know, you may be tempted to get the console later on with all these games to play on it.

Yeah I know it updates Wednesday but don't they usually tell us before it updates?

The PlayStation EU Blog posts details but it's usually only a few hours or so before. Sometimes only when it goes live.

For some reason I thought it was a day or two before hand. Cheers.

I think Diablo 3 would be a good one. A new edition of it I'd coming out soon. In PS+ tradition it would be a good candidate. Been awhile since an RPG was part of it.

I think it'd be a good one for us but like the time we got Tomb Raider I wouldn't be able to understand it.

You would imagine it'd affect it's sales on PS4.

As an example Iw a tempted to buy Tomb Raider on PS4 but then we got the announcement before it even came out.

Also has anyone played much of Dragon's Dogma? I started it up there the other day... feels like its struggling a bit technically but it looks like something I'd get into.

Out of curiosity, how many of you play every game you get each month, on whatever consoles you own? I know I've only played a handful on the PS3 so I'm a wee bit behind

Depends. Truthfully, I might play an hour or two of most of them when they go up and say I'll get back to them after I've finished whatever I'm playing but I've a pretty sizeable backlog at this stage. I'm playing Dead Space 2 atm because I said I'd get that out of the way before playing Dead Space 3 but truth be told my poor nerves will need a break from Dead Space for a bit after finishing 2.

I haven't played any of the other Dead Space games.. but there is a serious lack of horror in the 3rd game.

In fact, about halfway through it kind of goes all out action.

I've played Far Cry 3 and Tomb Raider on PS3 and Resogun on PS 4 since I joined PS+ last July and that's it.
I still make the purchases every month in the hope that some day I'll have time to play them all. But I doubt it.

Ive had PS+ for nearly a year and have finished far cry 3. PC is my main gaming machine so the backlog on that is bad enough.

I actually play a lot of the PS+ games and right now I'm on a mission to finish them.

Right now I'm on Dead Space 3 and over the weekend I beat both Ico and SOTC over the weekend.

From looking at my PS3 download list - I must complete X-com and Dragons Dogma. That's it!

I must say I'm a little slower to finish the PS4 and Vita games... some just don't grab me as much but still playing through Sly Cooper on Vita and finished Stick it to the Man the other week on PS4.

With all that said I imagine I'm one of the odd people who finish a lot of the games I get/play.

Any games I start I aim to finish and I only play one game at a time so I concentrate on finishing it. I bought a load in the last couple of sales and when Tesco were selling off a load of their old stock so now I've a backlog of over a 100 games. I'll never get through them all if I'm honest…

I play them all, but finish very few of them.

The exception being when I was off work sick a month or so ago and finished Brothers and Stick it to the man on the same day.

Some of them I've played for ten minutes and not gone back - Trine, Mercenary kings, Strider.

Just don't have the time really.

Dead Space is a good game, in a dark room with a good headset.
Really enjoyed that game, every little noise set the heart racing.

Dead Space 2 and 3 are action run and gun games, no tension - just, oh another baddy.

I've put hours into borderlands 2 which was free a while ago. Fecking love it. Other than that I try to at least load up all the games I download, but I haven't played them all.

I love dragons dogma. I've placed numerous hours on it. It is unfortunate that it does have frame rate issues. It would be cool to get a ps4 version with updated graphics and solid frame rate and it will be perfect. That game is something you have be in to. The combat and works is amazing to me atleast. It could have been a competitor to the Souls series and still could.

The game I spent most time on and still plan to go back to from psn+ has to be Demon's souls, Xcom, Dragons Dogma, Deus Ex, and Borderlands.

I have played 1 and 2. There is something lacking from the sequels. Playing Dead Space 3 now coop, and if I wasn't I would find it extremely boring. Fighting humans with cover mechanics was the biggest red flag that this is not survival horror anymore, and this happened in the first 15 minutes of the game and keep coming back. Create weapons maybe fun but it just doesn't feel right to a survival horror game, it belongs in dead rising.

Biggest PS Plus game that surprised me was Spec Ops The Line. I would never have bought it or tried it otherwise!

They're announcing the summer sale this week so I'm guessing it'll be the store update and the sale being announced today with the PS games maybe tomorrow. Could be totally wrong though. Keep checking the blog after midday.

It's pretty good although it can seem difficult at first. You can hire a kick ass pawn if you are struggling to help at the start...

Ya I had assumed that and I meant to buy Dead Space 1 ages ago. Someday I might go back and pick it up.
