I only have a Vita and PS3 at the moment and those games look to be absolute sheee-ite. Pretty sure I already get Super Stardust for the Vita with Plus…

Super Stardust has not been out on Plus before, you might be thinking of Super Time Force, it is a very bad month, but Broforce makes up for it, but with all the indie bashing you would assume nobody would play it

I must have bought it so, I don't remember doing it tbh but I definitely had on my Vita for a while.

Probably because people wanted to talk about something positive…

People would be moaning about Lords Of The Fallen, its not a great game, typical first year RPG, we have had both Sherlock Holmes and Borderlands already on Plus and never played Supreme Commander 2.

Once the likes of Knack, Thief and Killzone come out, people will still be moaning, its just a service that cannot please everyone.

People seem to be missing the fact that Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments was free on PS+ a year ago and Borderlands was given away in 2012. So basically people are celebrating two games that PS+ gave away long ago. Lords of the Fallen is a nice touch for Xbox and I'll be downloading it but I have had it for PS4 for awhile so it's not much good to me and as such I can bitch and moan like so many others do or I can simply do what I do every month when a game I own comes up for free on either console, I merely except that this happens from time to time.

The Backwards Compatibility is a big plus though imo. I know Borderlands and Sherlock Holmes were on Plus already but if you only have a PS4 that's no good to you.

BC is a great function, but it would end up like Steam with me, I would end up with a huge library and then barely play any of the games.

Somebody on this forum posted a glitch on the Sony store a while back where if you downloaded the demo of Super Stardust, the full game was available for free. The glitch didn't last long but you must have gotten it then. I know I did.

Edit: Actually, I'm wrong, the PS3 version of it was given away for free by Sony after the big hacking debacle in 2011. So the fact that it's included in the PS+ line up is a bit rich.

I have never complained about the PS+ line-up before, I have always found something in it to be glad about, especially because I own the three Sony devices that benefit from it but this month is utter cack. Broforce is decent enough for a half hour here and there but anyone saying that it's inclusion makes up for the other rubbish is only fooling themselves. If it was the second listed game behind something else, I'd say fair enough but it shouldn't be the PS+ headline game of the month.

I'm looking forward to playing both Galak-Z and Broforce. I think Galak-Z is on vita too right?

Deep Six · 24-02-2016 11:15PM

Just when you think it can't get any worse they continue to slide further every month. What a **** line up for March, it's like they aren't even trying anymore. I'll probably have the usual types on here slating me for having a bad word to say about a service I'm forced to pay for but **** it, this is complete bollix. Sick to death of this indie ****e every month.

Just out of curiosity are you going to actually play any of the games offered this month or are you just writing them off as ****e right off the bat without trying them because they are indie games?

ShaneU · 25-02-2016 12:05AM

I'll try Galak-z, should be fun.

Both PS3 offerings are two Sony published games from 8 years ago (costs them nothing to put on plus)... really scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if they ended ps3 support soon.

And as for the vita, a picture is worth a thousand words

Did you learn nothing from posts #9007 and #9008

OrgasmicBaz · 25-02-2016 09:28AM

I dont have any interest in indie games whatsoever, so the PS Plus description is near enough useless for me. Ill go out on a limb here and say there is more interest in the "bigger games" than the indie games for PS4 owners. Dont know the actual stats but if there were to be a poll im sure the vast majority would agree.

How can they not throw in AC Black Flag, Knack, Killzone, Thief or some other title that was released on launch 2 and a half years ago?

I converted from Xbox - PS on launch, pre PS4 the plus description by the sounds of it released a good few games to keep the punters happy, but the recent games released haven't really moved the needle

Captain Chaos · 25-02-2016 10:19AM

At this stage I have to finally agree that the PS4 launch titles should be on Plus at least every second month from now on. They are going for next to nothing on Amazon as it is.

tok9 · 25-02-2016 10:44AM

Seriously, what is the obsessions with getting extremely average AAA games. AC Black Flag is awful like the majority of AC games, everyone has said Knack is bad to average, Killzone is average and Thief is awful.

People want those games over the likes Broforce and Galek-Z which have both reviewed really well! It's crazy. At least have some ambition, hope for a Wolfenstein or Alien, you know games that are actually good!

Captain Chaos · 25-02-2016 10:59AM

Black Flag is one of the better AC games, nothing wrong with it. Killzone is a decent shooter as it Knack a platformer. Nothing wrong with any of the 3 games, while they do nothing new they are solid games overall.

They are not broken games like BF4 and RainbowSIx were at release.

XBL have already got Black Flag a while back too.

Me, I have different tastes in games. I love Helldivers but I don't understand the praise of Rocket League at all.

ShaneU · 25-02-2016 11:15AM

Because of the backlash they've announced the April PS4 games early, can't wait!

Awesome desert bus! Been really close to buying this a few times can't believe we're gonna get it free! The story is supposed to be so interesting and the music so intense! Heard ET reviewed really well too!

Games that are a rehash of titles from 20 years ago or games that have a bit of depth and decent playtime to them? Yeah I know which one I want. I'd take AC Black Flag any day over the smartphone **** we're expected to be thankful for.

You lost me at "Black Flag is awful". If anything it's one of the best and freshest titles in the franchise.

johnny_ultimate · 25-02-2016 02:40PM

Given both games' reliance on twitchy, exact movement on a 2D plain, 'smartphone ****' would be an inaccurate description given their inherent unsuitability for a touchscreen format.

If we're going to criticise, let's at least criticise accurately (eg just '****')

You still did not answer my question on the previous page.

If I'll play them? I'll try Broforce, though watching gameplay here of it I already know it will be deleted within 5 mins. I don't see the appeal in shallow side scrollers,played enough of them in my gaming life. No interest in Galak Z at all, I despise bullet hell games.

Even the staunchest indie support has to agree that it's time they mixed it up a bit. Even one AA or AAA game a month would suffice at this stage, the 2nd title can be used for this throwaway kind of crap.

Lucious Sweet · 25-02-2016 03:45PM

Sony should just give Snake next month and nothing else. No one would ever bitch again.

The blame should not be squarely on Sony for the lack of AAA games on Plus, they need permission first from the publishers of any game they put up on Plus and obviously even launch titles are still making some sort of profit, Knack managed to shift over 30k in the UK alone last year and Killzone sold 29k.

The main problem is the small pool of AAA games available on the console and due to that what is available is still making a profit , if you compare the amount of games that were released on the PS2/3 in their first two years and a half years and then compare that to the amount that has been released on the PS4, it is paltry in comparison, this is the norm with this generation across not just the PS4, but the One and Wii U as well.

The blame is squarely on Sony. If they can do it on Xbox of course they can do it at PlayStation.

eddhorse · 25-02-2016 04:32PM

Ah i like games..... They better give Dark Souls 3 free on plus soon.!!!

I give all games a go, doesnt matter what type they are. Some get deleted, some get kept. They aint all gonna suit each person.

Is there much different plus games in the US this month?

4 games in the last 9 months, it is better than nothing, but honestly nothing to celebrate.

They are all the same now in the EU/US, the Asian games are different, they have got the PS4 version of Thief already.
