Playstation Plus discussion thread - Part deux

They're probably prioritising getting the PS2 emulator working on PS5. The emulator used for the PS2 classics on PS4 is completely fubar in back compatibility mode on PS5 making the games unplayable, the issues are so severe I don't know why they aren't listed as incompatible.

Does Amazon sell Irish PSN cards? Work gave me an Amazon gift card but can’t seem to find Irish PSN anywhere.

They do not.

@F1ngers So to be clear the PS + benefits follow the account rather than the physical machine. So you get the same equal benefits on both PS4 & PS5? If so, I'd be as well cancelling the PS+ I just bought and buy it with the original account we used on the PS4?

Fallen order I really disliked starting off, particularly the maps, but it really grew on me

Fallen Order is a great game. One of the best Star Wars games in recent years.

Think the map was the toughest enemy in the game. And there were a lot of tough enemies.

I really must play the first Axiom Verge. Meant to be a good metroidvania.

As for Fallout, I don't play the Fallout games but think I read it's a much better game now than when it released.

I've had something similar happen on the store before. If the real price has gone up, the offer is likely finished sadly.

I have no interest in star wars but have Fallen Jedi a go when i heard it was souls like. I hate that phrase now because it must not been what i think it means. Combat isn't near nearly as good as DS and the map design is atrocious. I quit early on because i kept going around in circles and the map was too boring to want to keep going. I'll try again though with lesser expectations this time.

Fallout 76 is excellent (never thought I'd say that). It was abysmal on release but it's such a solid single player game now. Tons of solo quests and a big interesting map. It was rare i came across another player and when i did they were all friendly except for one who tried to grief me but as long as you don't attack back, they can't kill you (or do much damage). Some excellent qol changes made to the game over the years, highly recommend trying it. Only negative is that buildables can cost a lot of atoms and atoms cost a lot of real money. I was still able to build a pretty cool base but some of the high end parts are way too expensive. I haven't played in about a year after selling my copy but looking forward to getting into it again.

It was the boring back tracking that did it for me in the end. But I don't have the love of Star Wars to urge me on either. Saying that, the Skywalkwr Saga is quite impressive, for a Lego game. Didn't know much about it, just assumed it was an update to the original ones. Nope! Grand little time killer.

Decent lineup next month. I do have Fallen Order already though.

Was gonna pick up Fallout 76 on PC as its on sale for €8 but I'll just give it a go on PS5 now.

Was also gonna buy Kerbal Space Program but that's free on EPIC store on PC the 5th of this month.

Nice to see games come onto a service BEFORE I've bought them for once😁

Anyone play Mass Effect Legendary Edition from last month?

I played through it last year and mostly enjoyed it. I feel Mass Effect 1 gameplay hasn't aged that well but the other 2 were fine.

If I claimed Fallout 76 on Extra do I need to do something to make sure I still have it after my extra expires?

Just on mass effect. I never played it before but I thought the first one was a serious drag. Far too many speeches and cut scenes for me. I seem to be wandering aimlessly. I haven't tried the other 2 and was wondering if it's just more of the same.
