I thought Contrast was pretty good. Interesting setting and story with fairly original mechanics.

Nice and short too.

Really enjoyed contrast, even worth getting the collectibles to get the back story. How big is the file size for dmc?

Just wasnt for me and Im usually a fan off random games

Have to agree with you Paddy, am playing my second playthrough on "Son of Sparda" difficulty. It's a good challenge!

I'm only halfway through and already really enjoying it. Love the limbo world and the way it crumbles around you. The music is excellent too.

Never would have played this if it wasn't for Plus.

Same here, never would have played it otherwise. The combat reminds me a bit of Dantes Inferno. The quick changing between swinging from point to point and the pulling of objects in Limbo is very good, at least all my buttons on the controller are getting used this time!

Hope you've all played the earlier Devil May Cry games, specifically 1 and 3

Nope, haven't played them. Which is, in a way, a good thing as I believe I would be led to hate DmC in it's current form!

Where is Dont Starve ? It's suppose to be in the Plus Store in January ? I'm new to PS Plus .. does it normally not be there at the start of the month ?

Not out until the 7th i think

Do you know when the new PS+ games become available? Is there a time limit for when you have to D/L them by? I won't have the PS4 in a strong wifi area till next Monday. Would it be ok to wait till then?

Use the web store and 'purchase' the games. You can then download them whenever you want.

There is a FAQ in the very first post.

Don't know if this the right place but I just picked up a PS3 in Tesco at the weekend for €80 (12GB model - ordering a 500GB from Amazon this week) but I'm hoping to take advantage of the January Sale and picking up some games on the cheap. I'll be on a bit of a budget so just wondering if there's any of the games that are under €10 and possibly already on the IGC worth picking up (I already have PS Plus for the Vita so any of the games up on that this month are already purchased and ready to be downloaded when the hard drive arrives).

Good stuff, thanks for letting me know. New to PS+ it's a bit confusing at the start.

True enough. I probably would have enjoyed DmC if I had been new to the series. DMC1 is a bit dated now, but I'd definitely still consider 3 & 4 to be better than DmC. Not just in terms of story and character, but gameplay, controls, camera, enemy design. And the graphics in DMC4 are still pretty great.

€80 for a PS3? Was this a special offer?

Tesco have been getting rid of a lot of their electrical stock by putting unadvertised discounts on them. So they are selling the 12gb ps3's for €80 and some of the others for €100. They're hard enough to find at this stage because most of them are probably gone and a lot of shops don't seem to bother selling consoles.

Is Rain a good game then?

Excellent. Was waiting for Rain. Just looks interesting to me.

Rain to me would get boring very quickly after looking at the trailer. Of you like stealth games it might be worth getting

F1ngers wrote: »

I meant to buy Rain when it came out but never got round to it.
Will definitely pick it up now at that price.

Just finished it last night.
Beautiful art work, animations and music combined with clever gameplay.
Another game from Sony that's part art, part game. I'm not really into stealth games but I never found it boring, it has so much finesse.
Definitely worth giving it a shot.

I thought Don't Starve was on PS+ today. Unless it's at a later time. I was hoping to have it downloaded onto my PS4 for me getting home after work.

Fair enough, I was told by a few sources that it was the 7th.

tok9 · 07-01-2014 11:36AM

Played through Rain over the christmas and really loved it.

Visuals and score are beautiful and if you like stealth games you should be right at home here. It's roughly 3 hours long I reckon.

It was well worth picking up in the 12 deals sale.

Bought it a few weeks ago but still have not played it. Between gta5, vita ps+ and ps3 ps+ I cannot get time.

Well the good thing is that you can finish it in one sitting... which is how I'd recommend playing it.

I think that may have been referring to the US store.

I've been playing it over a few nights to make it last longer!

Ah that's cool too.. As it was Christmas at the time I just said I'd take in the whole experience.. in fairness I did have an hour break since someone else wanted the tv.

Lovely game... I think the soundtrack suits it perfectly.. just really nice to listen to while playing.

I pretty much played brothers in a day though!

Although im very happy with PS+ i wonder will it start to become more irrelevant now that were moving into much larger file sizes for games. Killzone for example would be over 30 gigs to download if they gave that for free at some point.With PSN network speed and data caps for broadband i dont know if i will be downloading as many games on PS4 i may be buying more disc based games this gen. I think PS+ works great on PS3 and Vita, it will be interesting to see how it goes on PS4.

MitchKoobski · 07-01-2014 04:46PM

Just dawned on me that this will be great for any PS4 games that have online multiplayer and get featured (Drive being the obvious choice at first).

With 99.9% of people on PS4 having PS+, you have a guaranteed big online multiplayer scene almost immediately.

I see what you are saying but the file size of the game relative to internet connection speeds would be similar now to what it was when the PS3 launched. In 2006, Irish broadband speeds would have been 1-2Mbps and the average game would have been maybe 10GB? It would have taken ages to download a game then. By the time PS+ was launched, broadband speeds had increased so that the size of the game mattered less, which prompted a high take up of the service. Broadband speeds and data caps should increase so that a 30GB file size won't be too troubling to download in the future. Hopefully it won't take long for that to happen.
