Playstation Plus discussion thread - Part deux

Excellent. Have been playing Grid Legends on a 1 euro EA Play month trial and was gona renew to keep it. No need now.

Class, I wanted to play Grid Legends for ages but never pulled the trigger. Descenders was on my radar as well so happy with those.

nedd

I think Descenders is already on Extra as my son has been playing loads of it.

Niska

Leak was correct (as usual)

Looking forward to giving Chivalry II a go.

Grid Legends is very good. Maybe we can have some multiplayer races with it sometime.

Potential-Monke

Looking forward to Legends, nearly pulled the trigger a few times. Chivalry 2 is a good laugh, but I'd imagine a new person to it may get frustrated with how easily they die vs lads playing it for ages going on kill streaks! Still a great laugh and always something random/funny happening. Descenders will get a look too, I can't hack the way Riders Republic is set up, so hopefully this will be less... in your face with annoying characters.

Played the trial or beta of Chivalry 2 some time ago when it was out and it was a great laugh. Definitely the type of game that gets a million times better when played with mates though.

Ah Descenders is a different game to Riders Republic.

You play the first track and it'll have a random bonus objective (this is on all tracks, but will be different each time you play).

Once you complete it, you pick your path to the next level and it might be flatter or hillier or have more jumps to stunt on, in a branching tree, kinda like FTL if you ever played that or roguelike I think is the genre. You can play each track in the branch if you like or move on. There might be boss levels too, which I won't spoil :)

After you clear an area, the next area will be a harder difficulty and different landscape.

It's pretty fun and challenging :)

Potential-Monke

Already sounds better! RR could be good if they'd just let you play the game.

Yeah at the start they very much want you to do certain activities, holding your hand, but it does open up then to the full map and there's too much choice i found and stopped playing haha!

Exclamation Marc

Plus Games are available now.

Descenders is quick fun, need a proper go off it. GRID....hasn't grabbed me yet. Skipped the cutscenes so far and just has me driving super cars, hoping to get into basics of a racing career game but maybe this isn't it. Playing it makes me wish I was playing Gran Tursimo.

There is a career mode in Grid Legends. You can race Renault Clio cars like we did when we raced online in GT7.

I saw play the current season or the season leading up to the crash, maybe that's the story mode and current season is more like a race career?

duploelabs

Haven't played the full install of grid, but from what I experienced, it's very arcady and 'soft' when it comes to the feedback and feel through my wheel. I'll give it a full go later but from what I experienced it's not even close to GT7

Damien360

Descenders was not for me. Flips on a bike is not my thing. Deleted it after an hour of trying.

Grid felt very arcadey and forgiving but bloody hell it’s addictive. 3 hours disappeared away very quickly and I didn’t play a single cut scene.

Haven’t tried Chivalry yet.

Zero-Cool

For Grid, which mode are you playing? Do you eventually get to choose a car and build it up or just constantly thrown into random races?

Just playing against the AI for now in career mode. Random changes of cars. Haven't tried any other mode yet.

Descenders is mad. A rouguelike bike game. Takes a bit of getting used to, but slowly getting better. It's hard trying not to go too high so that you can't land, I'm assuming you unlock better bikes? I'll give it another few go's, can get to the second area but lose soon after. It works though. Not as smooth/refined as Riders Republic, but at least this lets you get in and out of a game quick with no in you face annoying characters and constant unskippable icon unlocks.

Will give Grid a go at some point. I enjoyed the first couple of them, the last soft reboot one not so much. I liked it was arcadey to a degree. Sim is grand and all, but arcade is more exciting imo. Pining for a Burnout or Twisted Metal game lately... Might reinstall Chivalry 2 again, see how it had come along.

jj880

+1 on a new Burnout. Burnout 3 Takedown still one of my favourite games ever. Was completely addicted.

Thanks JJ

I only have 18 games show in that collection!

I'm missing Uncharted 4 weirdly.

Anyone else the same or know why this is? :)

It doesn't even show up as a title in the store when I search for it!

It does show up under a PS5 bundle called Legacy of Thieves Collection!

Click the 3 dots on the store page for Legacy Collection and the PS+ download should be listed. Not sure if this works but that's what I've found online.

OKay, so it says In Library now, I'm going to assume I'm good, thanks 👍

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120551812#Comment_120551812

Yes. We spent many drunk hours playing Burnout 2 and 3 back in the day. Burnout Paradise City, while good, wasn't as good.

Seeing that Grid Legends is free with PS Plus at the moment, I setup a thread here if you want to discuss it.

Amazing month, really looking forward to Rift Apart and to a lesser extent, Watchdogs.

Zero-Cool

Excellent! Can't wait to play Humanity and I've nearly bought Lake so many times. Will be great to try Rift Apart as well but I've never been into ratchet and clank.

Jordan 199

Bus Simulator 21. Lovely stuff.
