Playstation Plus discussion thread - Part deux

I've added NBA2K, first one I haven't purchased in years as the Career mode went down the pan. If I enjoy it I might drop some actual money for VC to play online.

There is a Streetball mode in the city where you play against AI and recruit NPC's you your team as you beat them. Handy vc, fun quick games and solo in the city, well worth playing. Also there's a daily challenge to beat an nba ai player in the Streetball court for 750 vc on top of the 300-400 vc you'd get from the game so an easy 1000 vc each day from that.

Give me a shout if you're going to give park games a go.

Might be worth checking your Plus sub if nearing renewal, without any notification I have a 25% discount on renewing my Premium sub until the end of the month.

My subscription ends April 6th, I was just going to buy monthly subs for essential until June and take advantage of the Days of Play discount to get a year of Extra but this will pretty much work out to be the same cost.

just checked and mine is showing 152 for premium. No idea what the price is even supposed to be these days

That's full price for Premium. I assume what is happening is that people who have turned auto renewal off are being offered a discount subscription within a few weeks of the end of their subscription to entice them to stay at their current tier.

RedXIV

Just checked and on the subscription management tab, I'm only due to pay 119. Interesting. Took a screenshot just in case :D

OhHiMark

I got an email saying my premium subscription is renewing at the start of April and the price is 80 euro. I wasn't going to renew but for that price I will.

Traaaaaaaaaasssshhhhh

The Raging Bile Duct

Was going to but Immortals of Avenum so happy out.

Potential-Monke

I highly recommend people to at least try Immortals. It doesn't do much new (magic FPS is pretty new), but it does it really well, with strong progression and upgrades that actually have an impact. Does get a bit repetative, but what game doesn't these days. For free, I think people may like it. My GOTY last year, simply because I enjoyed playing it most. But I also hadn't played 5 of the 6 GOTY contenders so... Still, free; give it a bash.

Corvo

Not a month for me, have a lot to finish but I might try squeeze in Immortals if its as decent as PM above says

EoinMcLovin

Such a good game. Highly recommend checking it out.

This day 1 release coming April too. First I've heard of it but looks like it's worth a download at least

Immortals is worth a pop. I really enjoyed it. More Doom than COD, but it looks and plays really well.

Zero-Cool

I've been waiting for Dave the Diver since it's been out on other platforms hoping it would eventually come to PlayStation. It was a day 1 for me and now it's part of plus, just bloody brilliant!

Spent half an hour on it, it really wasn't for me

The Raging Bile Duct

Went to have a look at Immortals for a couple of minutes last night and ended up playing for about three hours. Really enjoying it. Half an hour would barely get you by the intro, which was fairly flat and uninteresting and the battle tutorials feel a bit overlong but are necessary to get into to the game.

Great. Holding off on/forgetting to buy Deliver Us Mars has paid off.

Zero-Cool

Yeah wanted to get Deliver Us Mars a few times. Dave the Diver is a fantastic get.

Jordan 199

The Crew 2. I'll give that a go.

Potential-Monke

I picked up Deliver us Mars after loving Deliver us the Moon (which was on PS+ at the time), but I just couldn't get into it. Wasn't the same, but at the same time I didn't give it very long at all. Strong month overall imo, good few games on there I'm looking forward to giving a go.
