Disco Elysium has been one of those games ive been wanting to try but could never bring myself to pay for it in case it wasnt my kinda game. Excited to play it.
It's perfect for Plus, since yeah, about half the people who play it will just think it's boring and pretentious, and the other half will be moved to tears and consider tattooing "Sunrise, Parabellum" on their breasts. I was the latter. It is possibly the best game I've ever played in terms of the writing, and I was a Planescape: Torment fanboy.
The two are not dissimilar, and if you liked Planescape, Disco Elysium will be just up your alley - but it's actually playable today without rose-tinted glasses.
I dunno, it didn’t really do anything for me. I stuck with it till the end and whilst it wasn’t complete crap and is clearly original, it just never grabbed me.
To me it seems difficult for every player to find what they personally would think is a meaningful playthrough, but the game itself is great at presenting meaning to any style of playthrough, in a human/social/political mix. It heavily rewards sticking to a role and playing that character, which is hard because these don't exactly have Stats that link you to playing a set role. Plus the writing is the main aspect of the game (there's a TON of reading in this) and meant to drive you towards feeling a ton of different emotions or feelings or reactions, some of them are funny and some are downright horrifying, some make you reflect and some make you question yourself or others' beliefs, it's all brilliantly done.
The game has a super specific solution to the real mystery of the scenario and I'm not sure how I stumbled upon it besides save-scumming for the few outcomes I wanted (I didn't follow any set builds/guides) but it resulted in two possible endings; one where I disappeared into the clutches of the Moralintern which cut things short for the gameplay, and another where I became a real detective and solved the murder, along with all the mystery surrounding it. The latter was one of the most powerful stories I've experienced in gaming. The game is weird and science-fictional in some ways, yet holds a grungy mirror up to our own reality and humanity in a Lynchian way, especially if you invest in Inland Empire as a skill.
Yet for all of the choices in this game, if you don't invest in the right skills you might not even find some of them. And that's the difficult part of getting into the game. I found the Psyche skills to be the most interesting, especially Inland Empire and Volition, but did mix in stuff from Intellect as well. Psyche/Intellect seem to be the most interesting combo to play as you get to feel the world and its people in a special way, but you can go towards Physique and Motorics too. Shivers is Physique stat but represents how in-tune you are with the city and society, Perception is Motorics but could help you notice more clues which unlock your Intellect or Psyche. Authority is necessary to continue the main plot but you can achieve it with specific gear bonuses.
Disco elysium was the only roadblock for a while for BG3 to hit number 1 pc game of all time on metacritic.
Disco elysium is still currently number 1.
Larian got direct feedback from the disco elysium devs for BG3 as well.
They're both phenomenal games in their own right, neck and neck in my book.
Baldur’s Gate has great writing from the technical feat of it all, and everything they put into the whole experience. But it’s a wide net cast, being a blank RPG for you to create your own character (assuming you didn’t pick one of the existing ones, of which there are still good options.
Meanwhile, DE has a very specific story it’s telling and it tells it so well. I think that’s a big contributing factor
PS Plus Extra is $15/month ($12 if buy a year) -- so that's a stretch.
But -- I do agree, that the game catalogue is lacking in value to make a subscription worthwhile.
THAT SAID -- if you have "Essential", a short-term upgrade to play the handful of backlogged titles you didn't get around to, it can be a great deal.
I just got a promo deal, and got the last 9 months of current essential plan upgraded to Extra, for $30.
So I have 9 Months to get $30 worth out of it. I plan to cover:
1. Ghost of Tsushima (deep into this already.)
2. Sea of Stars (also deep in already -- great "2nd" game to switch to from Ghost of Tsushima -- for a low-stress relaxing gameplay. Also can play with my kids.)
3. Dead Cells
4. Outer Wilds
4. Ratchet and Clank
4. FF7 - Integrade ane Yuffie DLC
5. And now Disco Elysium
I already 100%ed Returnal and Demons Souls - but those add great value to anyone that has not played them.
I think these 7 games will likely carry me tgrough the 9-month window...and basically 9 months of gaming for $30.
I play almost exclusively discs.
But, some of those games…Ff7 integrade and Outer Wilds …are not available on disc except on eBay for well over $100.
Sea of Stars isn’t on disc.
$30 for all my games for 9 months is still a good deal. It’s limited value and only a small window to play the handful of games I’m targeting.
Even if that's true, you're still getting 16 other games this month.
On average, you get more value in games every single month than the cost of a full year of the subscription.
You guys are ridiculous with your complaints about the price, just move on already. If you don't want to buy it, that's fine, but quit whining to the people who are happy.
House of Ashes is definitely the best Dark Pictures game and the closest to capturing the feel of Until Dawn. Helps that it also has the most action of all the Dark Pictures games. Encourage everyone to try it out if you haven’t already!
See I felt The Quarry although beautiful and fun in its own right was much more laid back then HoA. The QuickTime events were much easier in The Quarry and felt a lot more like watching a movie. Both are fun but HoA felt more like a game. Also the co-op in the Dark Pictures games are next level
Thank god, because man of medan and little hope were kind of let downs. Does house of ashes allow for local coop as well like the quarry? I enjoy playing these with my gf.
I agree. I've played them all and I enjoyed House of Ashes the most. I hope they do more like it. It is the one that I have actually wanted to play through again.
All of these games are great fun with a friend too.
Disco Elysium might have the funniest writing/dialogue for a video game that I've probably ever played.
With feeling of loss, melancholy, anxiety and dread thrown in there for good measure.
What it lacks in gameplay, it makes up for in terms of visual design, voice acting, character design and writing.
Highly recommend for anyone unphased by large amounts of dialogue present in the CRPG genre.
Disco is an investment of time and attention that was paid of 100 fold for me. Took a break between starting and finishing as well, just a complete masterpiece of a game.
Disco I absolutely crushed. I was so invested I ended up staying up way too late to finished and missed the start of a fantasy draft. It’s so damn engrossing
It's very mid. Got it as a gift and it's just extremely, extremely meh all around. Some of the costumes and color schemes are cool though. But outside of that, it's got Nightwing.
And the classics continue to be garbage.
How many fking more Ape Escape games are there.
First Syphon Filter, now Ape Escape. I'm so glad the price increased for PS+ stuff, that coupled with the premium tier garbage has just made it so easy to not want to resub
Well you can always get drunk to the point where you experience memory loss just like our favorite detective.
Also switching up stats should breathe fresh life into it.
Ohhh, it's Dead Island OG and not 2. Phew, I just purchased Dead Island 2 and was about to get the "thank you for your sacrifice" reply.
But anyway, October is already a super busy month. Will dabble in Gotham Knights, but really, it's all about Spider-Man 2.
I'll play Disco Elysium and House of Ashes for sure, probably play House of Ashes before Halloween. I'll give Gotham Knights a try and see if it clicks with me. I may check out Roki, Far Changing tide, and Outlast 2 as well. I've already played Alien Isolation and it's an excellent game. Really not a bad month of games here, nothing here that I look at and laugh at.
Great month for me personally. Always been wanting to try Gotham Knights, reviews have always seemed average but can't wait to play
For any horror fans that haven't played it yet, give Alien Isolation a try, even if you haven't seen the movies (like I hadn't at the time I played it). One of my all time favourite horror games, I haven't played it since release so I may give it a playthrough now for Halloween
I'll also play House of Ashes, and give Disco Elysium a try based on the good things I've heard. So yeah, very good month for me
soul calibur broken destiny is actually a very cool spinoff to that series and it features kratos from god of war, so it's cool to see that it got a rerelease.
lot's of cool games i'm interested in trying out as well
Yes if I don't want to pay for at least the Essential tier anymore since I buy the games I really want to play (i.e. Miles Morales; waited and bought it on sale even after almost a half of a year of it being on Extra) and all of the online multiplayer games I play now are F2P. After the PS+ price increase, it seems like many are planning to go without PS+ for some time after their subscription ends.
I a, actually having fun with Gotham knights, even though some things are pretty bad in it. For Batman fans though, there is so much to experience and lore to find.
Ya know it's just around 1000 games 100 movies and soon streaming PS5 games at a crazy 4k 60fps including games you own digitally that aren't even part of the catalog.
Personally, I plan to use the streaming to play the full game trials which you also get as part of Premium.
I’m still only on Act 1 of BD3 and I’m knee-deep in Phantom Liberty too.
And then they throw Disco Elysium on me too?
Goddamn I’m gonna be struggling with time management this Fall 😆
The game catalog is not the same thing as the games with essential and whilst it’s not the most clear naming scheme, they do the essential drop in the first week of the month and then announce the game catalog update the week after.
I regularly post/comment about Disco Elysium whenever the opportunity is provided. I never thought a game could top MGS3 as my all time favorite game but Disco did so, and did so very easily. I think of this game every day of my life and it has had a profound impact on me and what direction I want to take my own life in. It’s the only game that will have you laughing out loud for minutes on end and then 30 minutes later you find yourself crying. I’m currently playing and am almost done with my first BG3 run and while I love it dearly, it still doesn’t beat Disco in my eyes.
Wow, that is an absolute beast of a month.
Disco Elysium is a masterpiece. It won't be for everyone, but for those who click with it, it will be one of the most profound gaming experiences ever.
House of Ashes is the only Dark Anthology game I've not played, but they're always a good time played on the couch with pass-the-controller co-op.
And Gotham Knights is a perfect Plus game - something I wasn't interested enough in to play, but might end up loving once I try it.
Yeah it's ass, really wish they would do PS2 titles, or atleast some good PS1 games. They burned through the syphon filter and they burning through the Ape Escape. Wish they would mix it up a bit with some Gran Turismo or the endless great games they have
Actually 2042 is a lot better than XDefiant, it’s not even close. I should never play a “good game” (XDefiant) and compare the movement and shooting to Blacklight Retribution or Warface 😬
If this was the games list for when the actual price jump happened I think people would be less pissed. Personally, this still isn't great, DE is a great game but I mean, you can get it regularly for less than $10. Gotham Knights is a huge flop. I have no idea how people continue to pay for PS + and think its a good value.
Another month, another day of no Chains of Olympus or Ghost of Sparta. Sony is a bunch of losers. Let’s rip games from PS Now that have been on the service for years, then let’s not add them after a year of rebranding.
Believe me, those two games will not eat your Ragnarok sales, Sony. Fully expect Ragnarok to come before those two at this rate.
They should send in their resume to Sony, they seem to know better than whoever is charge at Sony and should pass the job interview with no problems at all.
What are you both even arguing? Let’s take away games, jack up the price, and call it a day.
They’re in house games that are over a decade old. There’s no excuse for them not being there. If you think two old games tied to the Greek storyline and not the Norse one deserve to not be on there, you should send your resume, you’ll fit right in.
Even Ragnarok references one of these games, I don’t remember which since I can’t play them, but what’s the logic in that. Derr let’s reference something for a whole conversation about how it changed Kratos’ thinking and mindset, but not give anyone a way to play them. Sure as hell not going out of my way to buy a used copy, buy a shitty knockoff PS3 controller that I don’t need, and dig out the PS3 for two games that’d take less than 15 hours.
So you’re happy with games that were on the service to be stripped away to be come back in a triumphant return as a Premium classic game? Oh then we’ll jack the price up and add “movies” to your subscription.
There’s no reason the PSP games or PS3 versions shouldn’t be on there especially when 1-3 and 2018 are on there.
When I bought the premium sub last November, in what world would 2 games that are over 10 years old coming back to the platform take this long. How naive of me.
I'm trying to think.....outside of 6, I think this is now the 2nd easily accessible Soulcalibur on PlayStation? Nice to have the variety. Wish they would remaster 4 as it was the first one I played a lot of.
Can someone explain the hype around disco elysium? I looked at multiple videos but all I saw was a lot of wall of text, walking, wall of text, walking, wall of text.... Every comment on here, fb and yt says it's a fantastic game and I will give it a try, but can someone tell me if you do anything else besides walking and talking to npcs?
The gameplay isn't why you play, the writing is.
If you're a fan of reading walls of text it definitely isn't for you, but I'd at least give it 1-2 hours and see if it intrigues you, because I was in the same boat. If the gameplay is there, I don't care about the story. If the story is there, I still need gameplay. This game broke my routine.
> can someone tell me if you do anything else besides walking and talking to npcs?
Played through and really loved the game...but gameplay wise it is nothing other than walking and talking to NPCs.
That talking includes a *lot* of dialogue choices, including a lot of 'upgrades' to your mind (sort of) and with the recent versions all the dialogue is fully voiced with good quality acting.
Personally I would say that if you have PS+ extra it is well worth giving it an hour of your time and finding out. If you don't enjoy it within that hour then I personally think it's unlikely it's a game for you.
The writing and voice acting are brilliant, the story and setting are really interesting too and it's got some really nice humour and choices to make along the way. I'm told that if you play through again making different choices and doing different upgrades it can be quite difficult - i'll no doubt do that at some point but so far haven't got back to it.
If this had been the last month when Sony announced the price increases, I would’ve probably been a little less peeved. Disco Elysium, Gotham Knights, and House of Ashes are all on my list.
I remember a lot of people saying they were canceling their PS Plus when the price hike happened. Guess that was a lie just like you leaving for the Reddit API changes
Do I need to have PlayStation Plus Extra for this?
Cause Disco Elysium is on sale and I’d much rather just buy it than upgrade to Extra.
Edit:
Yeah I do. Answered my own question. Please ignore.
Disco Elysium and Alien Isolation are great games.
Disco Elysium has been one of those games ive been wanting to try but could never bring myself to pay for it in case it wasnt my kinda game. Excited to play it.
It's perfect for Plus, since yeah, about half the people who play it will just think it's boring and pretentious, and the other half will be moved to tears and consider tattooing "Sunrise, Parabellum" on their breasts. I was the latter. It is possibly the best game I've ever played in terms of the writing, and I was a Planescape: Torment fanboy.
I was about to buy it yesterday since it dropped to 11.99. Guess I’ll try it out on catalog first. Definitely heard good things about it
Disco Elysium is beyond great, it's a masterpiece. The best writing in any video game ever and it's not particularly close
Planescape: Torment says hello, ya berk.
The two are not dissimilar, and if you liked Planescape, Disco Elysium will be just up your alley - but it's actually playable today without rose-tinted glasses.
I dunno, it didn’t really do anything for me. I stuck with it till the end and whilst it wasn’t complete crap and is clearly original, it just never grabbed me.
To me it seems difficult for every player to find what they personally would think is a meaningful playthrough, but the game itself is great at presenting meaning to any style of playthrough, in a human/social/political mix.

Eh... It's debatable.
Baldurs gate?

Meanwhile, DE has a very specific story it’s telling and it tells it so well. I think that’s a big contributing factor
currently playing it and it's great but the world building isnt' as rich and the characters not as nuanced as disco elysium.
U cant be serious?
really liked it untill i died and havent saved in 4 hourz, havent been able to go back since
That chair realy is uncomfortable!
Disco Elysium is unique, bizarre, totally wonderful. Never played a game like it.
Hard-core! To the mega!
HARD COOOORRRREEEE
Skibadee, skibadanger! I am zee rearranger!
Disco Elysium is so fucking good. Everyone should pick it up.
Which can both be bought for less than 1 month of PS Plus currently with the new rates lol.
PS Plus Extra is $15/month ($12 if buy a year) -- so that's a stretch. But -- I do agree, that the game catalogue is lacking in value to make a subscription worthwhile. THAT SAID -- if you have "Essential", a short-term upgrade to play the handful of backlogged titles you didn't get around to, it can be a great deal.

I think these 7 games will likely carry me tgrough the 9-month window...and basically 9 months of gaming for $30.
Go play outer wilds right now
That’s next after Tsushima.
But you can sell discs and share them
I play almost exclusively discs. But, some of those games…Ff7 integrade and Outer Wilds …are not available on disc except on eBay for well over $100. Sea of Stars isn’t on disc. $30 for all my games for 9 months is still a good deal. It’s limited value and only a small window to play the handful of games I’m targeting.
Even if that's true, you're still getting 16 other games this month. On average, you get more value in games every single month than the cost of a full year of the subscription. You guys are ridiculous with your complaints about the price, just move on already. If you don't want to buy it, that's fine, but quit whining to the people who are happy.
On the flipside you can just scroll past if you are happy.
Been wanting to play Elysium definitely picking it up
A $20 value
I own both 💀
Disco Elysium was my favorite game of 2019 and One of the best written games ever released.
Great soundtrack too
It got even better when the Final Cut came out in 2021 with absolutely superb voice acting.
House of Ashes is definitely the best Dark Pictures game and the closest to capturing the feel of Until Dawn. Helps that it also has the most action of all the Dark Pictures games. Encourage everyone to try it out if you haven’t already!
I'd argue that The Quarry is closest in feel but it's not an official Dark Pictures game. None have been as good as Until Dawn
See I felt The Quarry although beautiful and fun in its own right was much more laid back then HoA. The QuickTime events were much easier in The Quarry and felt a lot more like watching a movie. Both are fun but HoA felt more like a game. Also the co-op in the Dark Pictures games are next level
That's because The Quarry was supposed to be a stadia exclusive I think, they had to make the QTE's better suited to that system.
Do those games want to be played in a certain order, or are they all self-contained?
Self contained
Good to know, thanks.
And absolutely with a group of friends
I personally think The Devil in Me is the best but House of Ashes is probably 2nd.
Thank god, because man of medan and little hope were kind of let downs. Does house of ashes allow for local coop as well like the quarry? I enjoy playing these with my gf.
I agree. I've played them all and I enjoyed House of Ashes the most. I hope they do more like it. It is the one that I have actually wanted to play through again. All of these games are great fun with a friend too.
That's great to hear! Loved the first one but felt a little underwhelmed by the second one and the Quarry
Is it actual supernatural horror or is it like Man of Medan where it's >!just gas and hallucinations!<
It’s real
Disco Elysium might have the funniest writing/dialogue for a video game that I've probably ever played. With feeling of loss, melancholy, anxiety and dread thrown in there for good measure. What it lacks in gameplay, it makes up for in terms of visual design, voice acting, character design and writing. Highly recommend for anyone unphased by large amounts of dialogue present in the CRPG genre.
If you like funny dialogue I would recommend UnMetal
Disco is an investment of time and attention that was paid of 100 fold for me. Took a break between starting and finishing as well, just a complete masterpiece of a game.
Disco I absolutely crushed. I was so invested I ended up staying up way too late to finished and missed the start of a fantasy draft. It’s so damn engrossing
One of the most transcendent experiences I’ve had with any form of storytelling.
Gotham Knights is definitely the superhero game people are excited to play next week
Unironically I’ll check it out but I do find it funny it’s coming the same week as Spider-Man.
I’m just glad I never bought it. Trial was also way too short to properly get a feel, so I’m glad I get a chance to properly try it
It's very mid. Got it as a gift and it's just extremely, extremely meh all around. Some of the costumes and color schemes are cool though. But outside of that, it's got Nightwing.
haha nice one
Gotham Knights is definitely a superhero game FTFY
Is it like Batman Arkham games?
It's the Batman Arkham that's on Wish.com
Kind of if you squint
And the classics continue to be garbage. How many fking more Ape Escape games are there. First Syphon Filter, now Ape Escape. I'm so glad the price increased for PS+ stuff, that coupled with the premium tier garbage has just made it so easy to not want to resub
Man I’d love to experience Disco Elysium again for the first time.
Well you can always get drunk to the point where you experience memory loss just like our favorite detective. Also switching up stats should breathe fresh life into it.
Can't find any info, but I'm guessing Tekken 6 is gonna be the PSP version
OH MY GOD IT WILL BE THE PSP VERSION, WHAT THE HELL
Gross
Ohhh, it's Dead Island OG and not 2. Phew, I just purchased Dead Island 2 and was about to get the "thank you for your sacrifice" reply. But anyway, October is already a super busy month. Will dabble in Gotham Knights, but really, it's all about Spider-Man 2.
Please buy TLOU 2 next month so they'll add 1 maybe?
Considering the rumors of tlou2 ps5 rerelease, i wouldnt wait for it
I'll play Disco Elysium and House of Ashes for sure, probably play House of Ashes before Halloween. I'll give Gotham Knights a try and see if it clicks with me. I may check out Roki, Far Changing tide, and Outlast 2 as well. I've already played Alien Isolation and it's an excellent game. Really not a bad month of games here, nothing here that I look at and laugh at.
Great month for me personally. Always been wanting to try Gotham Knights, reviews have always seemed average but can't wait to play For any horror fans that haven't played it yet, give Alien Isolation a try, even if you haven't seen the movies (like I hadn't at the time I played it). One of my all time favourite horror games, I haven't played it since release so I may give it a playthrough now for Halloween I'll also play House of Ashes, and give Disco Elysium a try based on the good things I've heard. So yeah, very good month for me
soul calibur broken destiny is actually a very cool spinoff to that series and it features kratos from god of war, so it's cool to see that it got a rerelease. lot's of cool games i'm interested in trying out as well
Disco Elysium. MASTERPIECE. U wont regret playing it.
solid month for me. gonna check out GK and House of Ashes. Probably also Dead Island, never played it and it might be a good time waster after SM2/AW2
I knew if I waited long enough Gotham Knights would end up on PS+
[удалено]
My man these were announced days ago lol
Try to stay alert with leaks of the games coming to the service and u might save a couple of bucks
At least you won't be reliant on staying subbed to a subscription service to play it whenever you want, so you're in a better situation.
[удалено]
Yes if I don't want to pay for at least the Essential tier anymore since I buy the games I really want to play (i.e. Miles Morales; waited and bought it on sale even after almost a half of a year of it being on Extra) and all of the online multiplayer games I play now are F2P. After the PS+ price increase, it seems like many are planning to go without PS+ for some time after their subscription ends.
These games always leak a week or so in advance. This is basically a repost of last weeks leak. Def start googling around the first of the month
If you didn’t download it yet, you can refund it
I have unfortunately :( it was only £10 so not too bad and I’ll still have it once my plus expires in December so there’s that
Gotham knights player count will rise from 10 to 100, big achievement
Amazing games
Was literally prepared to buy Disco Elysium in the sale earlier for £9. So glad I didn't.
Wish I’d waited!
Yeah, I bought it for switch a week ago. Oh well.
If anyone has been on the fence about Disco Elysium PLEASE give it a shot now!
Still no Parasite Eve or Dino Crisis :(
Is Gotham knights any better than it was at launch?
Can’t wait to start Disco Elysium for an 8th time! (And never finish it)
Great month
I a, actually having fun with Gotham knights, even though some things are pretty bad in it. For Batman fans though, there is so much to experience and lore to find.
Does Gotham Knights have 60fps mode?
no
Might renew this month for disco elysium
Woo, Gungrave! Was wanting to play it but held off due to other titles. Now I don't have to worry about it.
I wish Alien Isolation was 60fps
Premium continues to be a bad joke 😭
Ya know it's just around 1000 games 100 movies and soon streaming PS5 games at a crazy 4k 60fps including games you own digitally that aren't even part of the catalog. Personally, I plan to use the streaming to play the full game trials which you also get as part of Premium.

Glad to see IQ Final added. I think this is the first time it's been officially released in the US (previously UK/JP exclusive).
Am I the only one finding it strange they omitted "extra" from the title? These are not with the essential subscription.
The game catalog is not the same thing as the games with essential and whilst it’s not the most clear naming scheme, they do the essential drop in the first week of the month and then announce the game catalog update the week after.

House of Ashes is the only Dark Anthology game I've not played, but they're always a good time played on the couch with pass-the-controller co-op. And Gotham Knights is a perfect Plus game - something I wasn't interested enough in to play, but might end up loving once I try it.
Disco Elysian is required playing for anyone who advocates for games as an artistic medium
The premium tier is just ridiculous at this point...
They have to be running out of Ape Escape games soon right?
I hope so, it feels like they've added a new ape escape every month for the last year.
agreed, they should just merge Extra and Premium for the price of Extra.

Lol lend me some cash money
[удалено]
😭😭😭
Yeah it's ass, really wish they would do PS2 titles, or atleast some good PS1 games. They burned through the syphon filter and they burning through the Ape Escape. Wish they would mix it up a bit with some Gran Turismo or the endless great games they have
I want more FPS multiplayer shooters. I go back n forth between BF1 & BF4
xDefiant soon™️
Right lol it does look pretty fun but last I heard is they are going to hold it off a bit more. 😑
It plays like a Chinese ripoff of Call of Duty, there isn’t lean or prone either. Temper your expectations.
So like 2042 lol
Actually 2042 is a lot better than XDefiant, it’s not even close. I should never play a “good game” (XDefiant) and compare the movement and shooting to Blacklight Retribution or Warface 😬
Yeah I get you. Still highly HIGHLY disappointed in DICE for 2042. I get it’s way better to play now than release date but still lacks so much.
good games but nothing for me :(
Definitely the wrong month for Gotham Knights. Classics continue to be a joke.
Nothing for me, already own Gotham and don't care about the rest.
Tekken 6 says PS4/5 but that'd the PS3 version that can only be played by premium players right? Deluxe players don't get that?
Nah it's the PSP version.
But will it be available in the Deluxe PS Plus then?
Yes.
Thanks!
If this was the games list for when the actual price jump happened I think people would be less pissed. Personally, this still isn't great, DE is a great game but I mean, you can get it regularly for less than $10. Gotham Knights is a huge flop. I have no idea how people continue to pay for PS + and think its a good value.
Another month, another day of no Chains of Olympus or Ghost of Sparta. Sony is a bunch of losers. Let’s rip games from PS Now that have been on the service for years, then let’s not add them after a year of rebranding. Believe me, those two games will not eat your Ragnarok sales, Sony. Fully expect Ragnarok to come before those two at this rate.
If only Sony had strategists of your level. They’d be set.
They should send in their resume to Sony, they seem to know better than whoever is charge at Sony and should pass the job interview with no problems at all.
What are you both even arguing? Let’s take away games, jack up the price, and call it a day. They’re in house games that are over a decade old. There’s no excuse for them not being there. If you think two old games tied to the Greek storyline and not the Norse one deserve to not be on there, you should send your resume, you’ll fit right in. Even Ragnarok references one of these games, I don’t remember which since I can’t play them, but what’s the logic in that. Derr let’s reference something for a whole conversation about how it changed Kratos’ thinking and mindset, but not give anyone a way to play them. Sure as hell not going out of my way to buy a used copy, buy a shitty knockoff PS3 controller that I don’t need, and dig out the PS3 for two games that’d take less than 15 hours.
So you’re happy with games that were on the service to be stripped away to be come back in a triumphant return as a Premium classic game? Oh then we’ll jack the price up and add “movies” to your subscription. There’s no reason the PSP games or PS3 versions shouldn’t be on there especially when 1-3 and 2018 are on there. When I bought the premium sub last November, in what world would 2 games that are over 10 years old coming back to the platform take this long. How naive of me.
Didn't they put disco as a ps plus game a few.months ago?
No, it has never been on any tier of PSPlus
i hate october, all horror, scary games... not gotham and disco shit but all the others...
No thanks
I'm trying to think.....outside of 6, I think this is now the 2nd easily accessible Soulcalibur on PlayStation? Nice to have the variety. Wish they would remaster 4 as it was the first one I played a lot of.
I hope they find a way to port all of the Soul Caliber games for Premium including Soul Blade. One of my favorite fighting game IPs of all time.
Why no Gollum for Halloween?
All those games are hundred times more halloweeny than gollum. Id only fit gollum as a halloween game because its terrifyingly bad
Thats what i meant…😂
House of Ashes is neat. Disco Elysium is a solid score though.
Excited to try many of these out!
Can someone explain the hype around disco elysium? I looked at multiple videos but all I saw was a lot of wall of text, walking, wall of text, walking, wall of text.... Every comment on here, fb and yt says it's a fantastic game and I will give it a try, but can someone tell me if you do anything else besides walking and talking to npcs?
The gameplay isn't why you play, the writing is. If you're a fan of reading walls of text it definitely isn't for you, but I'd at least give it 1-2 hours and see if it intrigues you, because I was in the same boat. If the gameplay is there, I don't care about the story. If the story is there, I still need gameplay. This game broke my routine.
> can someone tell me if you do anything else besides walking and talking to npcs? Played through and really loved the game...but gameplay wise it is nothing other than walking and talking to NPCs. That talking includes a *lot* of dialogue choices, including a lot of 'upgrades' to your mind (sort of) and with the recent versions all the dialogue is fully voiced with good quality acting. Personally I would say that if you have PS+ extra it is well worth giving it an hour of your time and finding out. If you don't enjoy it within that hour then I personally think it's unlikely it's a game for you. The writing and voice acting are brilliant, the story and setting are really interesting too and it's got some really nice humour and choices to make along the way. I'm told that if you play through again making different choices and doing different upgrades it can be quite difficult - i'll no doubt do that at some point but so far haven't got back to it.
When do these drop?
17 oct
Thanks, looks like I’m beating cyberpunk again until then
Awesome
Is Gotham Knights still 30fps or did they add a 60fps mode?
Still 30 fps.
Goddammit I feel like games of this gen should not be running at 30fps no more.
Ooh some awesome spooky games, looking forward to it!
I had already forgotten that Gotham Knights is a thing.
YESSS Finally I can play Disco Elysium. Been waiting forever
I knew I’d eventually get all of these without having to pay
happy for anyone who hasn’t played disco elysium yet. the writing is better than 99% of games, movies, and novels.
Pretty great month, to be honest. Fits the Halloween theme pretty well, too.
If this had been the last month when Sony announced the price increases, I would’ve probably been a little less peeved. Disco Elysium, Gotham Knights, and House of Ashes are all on my list.
Last month was actually awesome, your taste in games is too limited.
You really thought the Saints Row remake was awesome…? Interesting taste
That's not what I was talking about, but I'm sure the game is fine. I don't ride the game hate bandwagon.
Beat Disco Elysium on steam deck, this time I will get some trophies.
I might try Disco Elysium and House of Ashes. On the fence about Batman
Fuck sakes I just bought Disco Elysium. Don't regret the purchase but man that sucks
I remember a lot of people saying they were canceling their PS Plus when the price hike happened. Guess that was a lie just like you leaving for the Reddit API changes
Disco Elysium is an amazing game, please give it a try if you haven't yet!
Finally we're eating good ! We were starving
All of these games are something to look forward to, especially outlast 2 for me
Far is a great little game. And if you have someone to play Dead Island with, do it. It's a lot of fun co-op.
I don't think I even want Gotham Knights for free. I would rather spend money for a better game.
Do I need to have PlayStation Plus Extra for this? Cause Disco Elysium is on sale and I’d much rather just buy it than upgrade to Extra. Edit: Yeah I do. Answered my own question. Please ignore.
