Playstation Plus discussion thread - Part deux

Stayed by the lift I think. Just where the ammo crate is. The swarms kept coming but it's the warrior that's a pain.

Gave Aliens Fireteam a shot last night, didnt think it was great. Does it get better?

Seems very basic and uninspired.

Played the first mission twice with different mate which took like nearly 20min and didn't even get to level 2 with that class. Got 2 crappy looking muzzles for my trouble

Oh, they used to give a discount if you pay for a year, pity they didn't do that.

First mission is longer than most as a lot of it is walking through empty halls before your know the place is infested. I've finished it there and think it does get better but it's still a left for dead / horde game so it's not that complex. Harder difficulties are really hard, and it's about coordinating to hold lines and hot get overwhelmed.

A lot of times you've to run to objective as you're not meant to kill everything, so if it's giving you an objective do that rather than try to finish off enemies. You need all players at the objectives in some cases and for finishing the mission and if someone is behind the others can get killed waiting.

The class levels don't matter too much for new players as when you level up they unlock space on a grid to fill with perks but you've not got a lot of perks at the start unlocked so you've not got much to fill. Perks can be unlocked and some used between classes.

There's only really 7 levels but you don't get something on every level, so levelling up isn't an even progression, you might level up and it'll do you little good.

There's a drop for finishing a mission and a hidden cache in the missions to find that moves but per mission that's all there is to pick up. You've to buy the rest with the money earned and that can be boosted a lot with challenge cards. You might only have 2 loadouts per class. The muzzles have some of the better weapons perks so getting those isn't bad.

So I'm on the top tier giving them the most money, but I can go fúck myself!

Typical Sony attitude really! 😆

Thats what Im getting in the mobile app. Upgrade discount available for days left on current sub then renew at full price.

Looks that way. It's a good deal if you were thinking of upgrading anyway.

If you buy another years essential could you then only be presented with the upgrade discount on whats left before the next year starts?

I suppose you will then still have the essential sub anyway.

Very unlikely but Sony are really acting the maggot at the moment.

I'm looking forward to giving that a go.

Oh, will that be midnight our time for Teardown? I was only looking at it last night, wondering when it was coming out. Still showing as "Announced" for me.

FFS Sony, it really feels like they're going to devs and saying "what can I get for 3.50????"

That's one of the most disappointing lineups I've seen

I absolutely loved that trailer and I loved Dead island. I never played Riptide but Dying Light made the DI games feel ancient going back to them. I might give Riptide a go if i have absolutely nothing else to play some day. I'm looking forward to playing Teardown.

I'll work off the pretence that this is a quiet enough month before they announce the big December games for Christmas. 🙄

Dead Island and DI Riptide I absolutely loved, just a huge amount of zombie bashing fun and some of the weapon builds are outrageous. Probably looks a wee bit dated now but still immensely enjoyable.

Dead Island gave me chronic headaches after about 10 minutes of playing it so I never went back to it.

One of the Wolfenstein games was the same so I've never managed to play either.
