I'll keep at it I reckon but in small doses. The story has me interested enough it's just all the walking and the trying to keep your balance mechanics and what not, incredibly boring so far and slightly annoying, I went in some water and fell over in a way humans shouldn't be falling over 😂. And I say that as someone who has hundreds of hours pumped into Euro truck simulator so I'm not always and all action hound!

You have to build every inch of every road or you are not a true porter 😂.

It is a stunning game, the walking is an amazing mechanic. I don't know how he made just walking and carrying stuff so rewarding.

Just at the right moment when it gets annoying he adds something to help improve things. Carry more, move faster, vehicles, roads, zip lines.

Started the Demons Souls remake. I suck at souls games but I’m liking this. It looks amazing too.

Ah yeah, upgrade your suit, vehicles & roads as soon as you can so. You might start to enjoy it a bit more then

PS+ Essential July 2022 lineup: Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (PS4/PS5), The Dark Pictures Man Of Medan (PS4), Arcadegeddon (PS4/PS5)

Man of Medan is also available on Extra so thats a repeat

Zero-Cool · 26-06-2022 2:16pm

Ah what the sony **** ****, putting Extra games on the essential monthly list. Bad enough when they did it with Now but it's gonna be awful shyte if they do this every month.

No interest in Crash.

Well some people might just sign up for the basic tier so it makes sense. Also monthly games are yours forever but with the game collections, if game leaves, you won't get it for free anymore.

CastorTroy · 26-06-2022 4:21pm

But would we be able to add the game as an Essential game if it shows we have it as part of Premium/Extra?

EoinMcLovin · 26-06-2022 5:59pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119252898#Comment_119252898

not sure. I'm guessing if you add the game to your library when it's part of the Essential Monthly games , if it gets removed from Extra/Premium library, you'd still have it

Zero-Cool · 26-06-2022 6:48pm

Seeing multiple reports that streaming works much better than it did on PS Now. I haven't tried it yet but remember I had to stop my Arkham Origins playthrough because the lag was awful. Must try it again.

Zero-Cool · 26-06-2022 9:17pm

I tried Arkham Origins and it's very choppy but seems smoother to play bizarrely. Fighting is more manageable as counter timing is fine now but gliding around the city is choppy looking. Maybe it was always like that, most look up a ps3 video of it.

Rdwrer · 27-06-2022 12:18pm

What was the Playstation sales event called that was every year at this time? This is when I always renewed my Plus with 25% off. There were always discounts on games, controllers, VR headsets etc.

Jacovs · 27-06-2022 12:28pm

Days of Play sale was 25 May - 8 June.

Zero-Cool · 27-06-2022 12:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119256383#Comment_119256383

Early May. Official PS Plus discounts usually happen twice a year, Days of Play in May and Black Friday in November. Will be interesting to see if there are any this year.

Indeed, especially now that Sony have made it more difficult to stack subs on PSN and it appears they are no longer selling subscription codes(or at least are currently suspended)

CastorTroy · 27-06-2022 1:26pm

Do they have sub offers for Independence Day?

Varik · 27-06-2022 1:29pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119256690#Comment_119256690

Sub discounts are very rare, they don't have them for most of the sales.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119256514#Comment_119256514

They've gotten rid of them fully now, they're just going to have new wallet values for the more amounts need.

US is getting

$110
$30
$55
$70

So probably the same for Euro

Makes sense when you'd have to have varying sub durations for each of the tiers.

splashthecash · 27-06-2022 3:20pm

Wasn't impressed that streaming isn't available on Extra - so essentially PS Now is now part of the Premium tier. Having hundreds of games is well and good if you have the space to download them too. For me now its going to require the download time and also the juggling around of my HDD to manage space appropriately. 😣

Varik · 27-06-2022 4:08pm

Pie in the sky wish for it is they'd allow PSN purchased games to be streamed, maybe as long as you'd a essential or extra sub.

marcbrophy · 29-06-2022 4:49pm

Games for July confirmed 😊

Certainly wasn’t expecting Crash 4, that’s a nice get for Plus.

EoinMcLovin · 29-06-2022 5:01pm

Looks like the leak was correct as usual

GoldFour4 · 29-06-2022 5:04pm

Crash 4 should be good - was thinking of buying it so happy days.

El Gato De Negocios · 29-06-2022 5:05pm

Signed up for the 120 optiion last night. Downloaded Tekken 2, tried it for 5 minutes then turned it off before my face melted. Dont really mind and hopefully the retro catalogue will improve. Ive been wanting to play Returnal and both Spidermans but didnt want to pay. Also wanted to try Souls but didnt want to pay so regardless of what comes over the next 12 months Ive covered the cost with those 4. I played GoT through a while back and loved it so will try the directors cut at some stage.

Zero-Cool · 01-07-2022 12:55am

Tried a few games from Extra collection tonight, enjoyed what i played and moved onto the next until Deliver Us The Moon. Think that's gonna be my next main game. Explore an abandoned space station to figure out what happened. I'm fully in on the story already, great setting and atmosphere with nice puzzles thrown in. Just launching the rocket following the correct sequence was incredible. I would easily keep playing off the leaba wasn't calling

CastorTroy · 05-07-2022 1:01pm

Essential games available now. At least I was able to add them through the app.

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 06-07-2022 4:02pm

Not sure if this was asked in the thread already but I'm puzzled as to why they even bothered having a PS4 and PS5 version of some of the PS1 games, especially when there aren't any trophy support (Tekken 2 and Toy Story 2, for example) and I can't imagine the PS5 versions having much of an edge over the PS4 versions? In other words, what's the point in the PS5 versions of these games?

EoinMcLovin · 08-07-2022 2:20pm

Just a rumor, so take with grain of salt

Partial list of July’s PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium new games coming later this month have leaked.
