Playstation Plus discussion thread - Part deux

Yea, extra has paid for itself already for me. I played a few games on my wish list and thankfully I didn’t buy them (WRC10 and Race4). I have been playing Returnal and The Division (both great games) for the last few days plus a few indie games out of curiosity. Pleasantly surprised at the value so far despite the extra €40 on top of lowest tier.

No leak for once

PS Plus Extra:

• Metro Exodus
• Yakuza 0
• Yakuza Kiwami
• Yakuza Kiwami 2
• Dead by Daylight
• Ghost Recon: Wildlands
• Trials of Mana
• Everspace
• UNO
• Monopoly Madness
• Monopoly Plus
• Bugsnax

Is Wildlands A: any good, and B: playable solo? Haven't played a Tom Clancy game since the early PS2 ones.

I upgraded to Premium so I could play Red Dead Redemption. The streaming was mostly fine, but the game did slow down and freeze sometimes.

My Playstation is in a different room from the modem so the ethernet cable is out. I'll come up with a solution sometime.

+1 for Powerlines. I get ping and latency issues sometimes on Rocket League on WiFi but never an issue with the Homeplugs. Got the TP Link ones, the 150Mbps, for around €40, think the Gb ones are near €10 or something. A bit more for each if you want them to be a WiFi range extender too.

Another +1 to powerline adapters. I've my driving rig and PS4 running off WiFi, and the ping/lag made anything competitive impossible, powerline adapter sorted that out sharpish

Yeah the powerline adapters are great. And can get passthrough ones so you don't lose the sockets.

Actually, anyone here got a WiFi6 router and notice any improvement?

Gave up on Yakuza, after about 20 minutes I just wasn't feeling it. More and more games are making character interactions better, so it's kinda jarring to go back to a game which has those silences between lines.

This is how it looks for me, I have Essential only.

Great thanks lads.

PSN credit and subs are tied to region of account. If you bought playstation plus premium in Turkey, it would not work on your Irish Account.

Tried it last night for about 3 hours. All the missions were miles apart. Drive for ages to get to mission, your team are muck, controls are iffy to say the least. Deleted it soon after. The load screen alone annoyed me. Big Ubisoft banner top right telling you various things you “won” before it even started.

Maybe I will get an answer here faster than from Sony.

If you move from Ireland to a different country, whats your options?

Quit your irish PS Plus sub, lose all the games, and start a new account in the new location and start from scratch?

Or can you change the mobile number on your irish account to a mobile number in the new country? And top up your Irish PS Plus sub via paypal using a bank account from the new country?

Very pain in the arse. Suddenly lose 120+ games from your library.

Do they not allow changing your mobile number to a non-irish number either? Only other option is to remove 2FA completely so the mobile number isnt a problem anymore.

Then top up via paypal.

Edit: they do allow change of phone number, so I did that now. Deactivate 2FA, add new number from different country, remove old irish number, activate 2FA.

Thanks. And no, cant do paypal it seems. PSN wont let you add a card from a different country than your psn account, same for a paypal account from a different region. And cant add a card from new country to Irish paypal account either.

And if i remember correctly most places that sell irish voucher codes rarely have them in stock?

That leaves us with asking family in Ireland to buy a physical voucher in Smyths for example. But werent they all removed from stores too before the new PS+ was rolled out recently?

Perfect. Not too bothered with discounted vouchers, just as long as I can get it digitally.

Im sure they have it discounted when Sony have discounts once or twice a year.

Just a bit more hassle yes.

The more annoying thing, if we do want to buy any new games online we will have to make a new account for where we live now. And then that account wont have ps+ so that limits the games you can buy (if online multiplayer type games).

Will just have to get family in Ireland to fund my gaming habit.

If you set your console as the Home for your Irish account and for your new regional account you can share your PS+ online benefits with your new regional account, and even better you can play any games bought using the regional account on your Irish one. That could mess things up if you need to purchase in-game currency though.

None of my cards or PayPal ever work. Always end up buying credit from Smyths and adding that to my account.

Yeah, they delisted both games individually on PS4 when the PS5 collection was announced to stop people from getting a cheap upgrade. It's €10 to upgrade to the PS5 collection from either 4 or Lost Legacy excluding the Plus version of 4.

PS Plus Essential for September 2022: Need for Speed Heat, TOEM and Granblue Fantasy Versus

Toem is a really fun and relaxing game. Loved playing it and loved its warmth.
