I really dont understand how affected people can get over criticism of Sony/PSN/IGC. People have every right to critique the service. Especially if said service has issues and is paid for. But maybe we should all just shut up and take whatever were givin....

But you're not pointing this feedback or criticism in the right direction. If you've an issue with Sony talk to Sony. If you've an issue with PS+ then talk to Sony. you're ranting at us and we have the right to reply if we don't agree. That isn't people being "affected" it's a natural right or reply and how forums work.

Personally I don't even own a PS4 because PS+ was never going to be strong that first year and because the first 12-18 months of a console are always going to be slow. Anyone who has lived through a few new generations of machines could have seen that surely? I've another few months of free PS3 games that Sony have given me for next to nothing before upgrading becomes worthwhile.

I really think it's peoples connections rather than the PS network, as some people on here seem to have problems everyday.

It's PSN, not people's connection. You just have to go onto twitter and search for #PSNDOWN to see that it's affecting loads of people. Daily is a bit of an exaggeration, but it seems, at least recently anyway, it is down at some stage at least once a week.

Also I don't understand how you can moan about €50 for a years subscription in which ive recieved over 24 games. That's 0.13c per day, for over 24 games with hardly any network issues.

PS+ is no longer about the games anymore, it is now a requirement to play online. And guess what, some people just don't care about Don't Starve, or Mercenary Kings etc. All they want to do is play a bit of Fifa online or Destiny (one of the biggest release this year) when they get home from work/school. And with PSN, that simply has not been possible far too many times recently.

Honestly, as somebody who works in the games industry, if we had a game which had an always online requirement and it was down as much as PSN, people would be out of a job fast. It's simply not acceptable, an uptime of 99.9% is expected as another poster has already said.

PS4 was built and sold as a gaming console, that's exactly why I bought it. If you wanted it for anything other than gaming then your better off with the inferior gaming (1080p etc) console that's the xbox one as it is predominantly sold as a "All In One".

I hope for Sony's sake, they don't share that viewpoint.

Looking forward to trying this months PS4 game with randomly generated mines, last months was such a rush

nocoverart · 29-10-2014 04:06PM

Whether you like the games or not is subjective, but nobody can deny that ps+ is not the same beast it once was.

tok9 · 29-10-2014 04:07PM

That's is a lot of games for my vita.

Can't wait to check out Steamworld, Binding of Isaac and Luftrausers on it.

johnny_ultimate · 29-10-2014 04:10PM

Frozen Synapse, Luftrausers and Steamworld Dig are all fantastic games, some real treats in store for those who haven't played them.

How many people will even give them a look and give out because theyre not AAA releases is another issue. I've had 3 friends give out to me so far and its berely been 10 minutes

To be fair I'd never even heard of either of the PS3 games. Pretty pleased to hear that they're decent though.

DarkJager · 29-10-2014 04:18PM

Wow blown away by this months Ps4 titles....said nobody ever.

Stylesclash07 · 29-10-2014 04:27PM

Im happy with most of that i already have steamworld dig. I cant see knack, killzone or infamus going ps plus as playstation releasing console bundle with killzone, knack and infamous. But i am surprised they have nothing "special" this month as ps4 out a year this month.

chrislad · 29-10-2014 04:28PM

Metro Redux seems like a good deal for this week. I'll pick that up. PS Plus is a tad disappointing. Mine ran out last month, and I'll probably hold off on renewing for the moment. I'm not playing any of the games I previously had on it anyways right now, and I already own the best game on that list (Steamworld Dig).

I'm not affected whatsoever, your criticism is relatively useless here,

I am in opposite land, most of the downtime is while I'm asleep. Hence why I'm not affected. Maybe id have a similar opinion if i was in the EU but im not, i can understand why you'd be annoyed. My post was not telling you that you shouldn't be criticising the service it was more pointing out that if its a service you dont enjoy, then, don't subscribe. It really is that simple. If enough people dont enjoy it and unsubscribe, and also post on the PlayStation forums where they actually have PS representatives then maybe you could see the service moving to how you want it to be.

Posting about how much you are annoyed with the service, even explaining why you are on this forum will do nothing for you.

Unsubscribe if you've that much gripe with it. Buy an Xbox and see if that fits your needs better (I'm being serious by the way).

I find it pretty ludicrous how people use the 'if you bothered to read my post' line. Of course I read one single sentence randomly in your post and wrote a paragraph on said sentence, explaining how you made it up.

I do understand why you're unhappy with the service, but you will not get anything fixed discussing it with people on here.

Firstly,at no point did i say i was annoyed. My point is people in here seem to get very annoyed when people criticise PSN/IGC. Your post accused me of going around telling people its a terrible service and basically thats rubbish,i never said that so please quote me correctly. I have my critiques on the service but i also said im reasonably happy with my PS4.

So i didnt come in here to moan about PS+,i came to see if the new games list was mentioned. And happened to see people shouting down anyone who is not quite happy with PS+ imo so responded with my opinion as im entitled to do. If you dont like it dont read it....simple.

Xenji · 29-10-2014 04:35PM

Good games again this month, now lets close the thread for a month lest the moaning take up another 10 pages like last month :pac:

This is a discussion thread is it not? Am i not allowed to discuss my opinions here? Or is it only when i agree with the majority my opinion is valid?

I dont accept im ranting,if you read my posts i dont view them as ranting,i like to respond fully to people posts. So they can hopefully understand my viewpoint while i try to understand theres. So i do understand how forums work.

I have had every playstation that has ever been made so i do know what a new generation of consoles is like. I have stated many times im happy with my PS4,but i also believe that there are valid criticisms that can be leveled at Sony about the state of certain features on the console atm. Thats all.

Thats a shocking month be to fair PS Vita games and the PS3 stuff is just shocking at this stage i was just hope for some kind of JRPG on the vita and i would have been happy both both consoles look shocking.

The PS4 games sound ok but still give me any game that as had a disc base release at this stage and i be happy as it will be 1 year of PS4 next month and i don't think other then Velocity 2X everything has been fairly crap being honest

In the interest of fairness:
"Utter ****e indie crap again this month. I'm sick of Sony".
Now close the thread

iamtony · 29-10-2014 05:06PM

What? Are you not into 2D games set in randomly generated mines? You should cancel your subscription then! Dig got 4 and a half shovels in '2D games set in randomly generated mines magazine'!

/sarcasm

super_furry · 29-10-2014 05:17PM

Is Luftrasers crossbuy?

Xenji · 29-10-2014 05:19PM

I think all 6 games are actually playable on the Vita via crossbuy, except maybe for Frozen Synapse, which makes it even a better month.

The console isnt even out a year yet, what really do you expect? Like AAA titles.for free?..

We'll get a launch title at christmas(probably knack) and then more indie next year..

Just like the first year or 2 of ps+ on the ps3

iamtony · 29-10-2014 05:21PM

Your all mad take your free games and shut up! Or else cancel your sub.

Aye, great month for Vita. Pretty much as expected for PS4. Shít buzz for the PS3 though...

ShaneU · 29-10-2014 05:24PM

Another desperate month I see. Played 4 of those on pc ages ago. Sub expired in September, not exactly tempting me to resubscribe

Yeah, like its great getting free games each month no matter what they are but, I just never get around to playing most of them. Binding of Isaac is great, I'll give it a go but my sub finishes in Dec and seeing as I don't play online and with all the maintenance goings on, I think I'm gonna leave ps+. Much prefer my boxed games and they do have a lot of sales so....

Oh well.

Of course you are. But with respect it is you who seems to have the issue with other people responding to you. Like I just did.

There's literally nothing that I or anyone else here can do with the feedback that you have for Sony. Feel free to rant and rave about it but don't be surprised if people reply to you and some of those people shockingly enough may disagree with you.
