Are you talking about after your PS Plus expires? I can't imagine you could when it's a completely different account.

Nope, unless he has the license for them himself.

Playstation Plus 12 months is showing as €40 on the PSN store until 23rd

If only I seen this yesterday :pac:

lertsnim · 16-12-2016 8:13pm

I wonder if they had a lot of people not renewing. I know I didn't bother.

batistuta9 · 16-12-2016 8:32pm

Me either, was going to wait until February.

If you buy that sub it'll become active right away wouldnt it or can you add it whenever you want

Goes active right away unfortunately...

NikoTopps · 17-12-2016 7:59pm

I haven't started the 2 week free trial yet but if I start it now can I then buy 12 months at the discount price straight away? It says not available because I'm not Plus when I try to buy the 12 month. .

To answer my own question, I bought 50€ PSN Credit for ~43€ online then I use this to buy the 12m sub for 39,99€ and it worked perfectly and I still have tenner left to spend. .

I'm thinking of "lapsing" my PS plus account, if I decide to re join say 6 months later are all the same games I had before on the plus there?

They are still there, you just will not be able to play them if you let it lapse.

CastorTroy · 22-12-2016 10:37pm

They're still there but just be aware it's someweher in the Ts&Cs that there's guarantee they will be. So if some do go missing when you renew, they'll have that to fall back on.

Was just wondering, since the first Tuesday of the month is Jan 2nd, do you think they'll have the games early or late? I suppose no reason for either, but I would guess late.

brianregan09 · 26-12-2016 7:42pm

So should be hearing what January games we're getting soon ?

CastorTroy · 28-12-2016 5:07pm

Usually the Tuesday or Wednesday before, though Christmas week may mess that up. Will see.

Day Of The Tentacle and This War Of Mine leading the PS4 lineup on 3rd January

J. Marston · 28-12-2016 6:24pm

A remaster of a quarter century old game? Oh boy.

Interested in This War of Mine though.

Let me be the first to say this is yet another shocking month from Sony in my opinion! still no free VR game! Think its time to bin the free ps3 game and vita game at this stage.

Zero-Cool · 28-12-2016 7:05pm

This War of Mine is brilliant. Great treat for those who don't have it. Another useless month for me.

brianregan09 · 28-12-2016 8:42pm

**** me ps plus is gone down the ****ter and I usually don't complain but wow

Riesen_Meal · 28-12-2016 8:59pm

I vaguely remember playing DOTT as a child but got stuck and never went back to it...

Never played the other one so I'll give it a look...

um7y1h83ge06nx · 28-12-2016 9:01pm

Agreed, they're acting like a right bunch of useless ****ing ***** that just couldn't give two ****s anymore.

They really need to improve.

ShaneU · 28-12-2016 9:34pm

Pretty poor tbh

CastorTroy · 28-12-2016 9:45pm

Not taking anything away from these games, but i am surprised. They usually go for a well known game for January to keep the interest of those using their trial from the Christmas PS4s.
Though as had been pointed out before, they don't need interest when plus is a necessity for ps4.

Varik · 28-12-2016 10:32pm

Day of the Tentacle Remastered (PS4, PS Vita)
This War of Mine: The Little Ones (PS4)
Blazerush (PS3)
The Swindle (PS3, PS4, PS Vita)
Azkend 2 (PS4, PS Vita)
Titan Souls (PS Vita, PS4)

Bar 1 game they's a PS4 version of all of them.

Xenji · 28-12-2016 10:32pm

To be fair there have been worse months, both games highly acclaimed and you could put over 20 hours into the pair of them and you have 3 other PS4 games as well, we just need a Curse of Monkey Island remaster now.

ERG89 · 29-12-2016 11:10am

Held off on buying Day of the Tentacle as I figured we'd get it here eventually like double fines other games. I bought Grim Fandango weeks before it wound up here. Titan Souls I was going to buy on release but tepid reviews stopped me. This War of mine I own but haven't played much of it, I bought it after looking at at SuperBunnyHop video on it.
There are games now I am interested in but feel if I do they could end up on Plus eventually. Mainly stuff like Rayman Legends or Sleeping Dogs.
I wish they didn't lean on the digital exclusive stuff as much on PS4 even if stuff like Rocket League & the Resident Evil remake is nice to get.

Kiith · 29-12-2016 11:30am

One critically acclaimed classic, and one critically acclaimed newer game. As well as the very well received Titans Souls.

And people still complain :rolleyes:

Beefy78 · 29-12-2016 11:45am

To be fair, I understand the complaints this month at least on first glance. It's hardly an overwhelming list of names.

That said, I've since read about This war of Mine and it sounds incredible. I'll definitely give that a go.

Can hardly have a thread that's just a list of the games, let the "discussion" continue here

lertsnim · 29-12-2016 10:33pm

Glad I didn't go for their €40 offer.

brianregan09 · 30-12-2016 3:13am

I'll download them and try them....This is a discussion forum so on 1st look the games look a poor offering my 1st time complaining and I'm well in my right too , PS4 is out long enough now for plus to offer some retail games

and I'll admit I'd be pretty pissed if we got Killzone or Knack aswell those should have been on it ages ago

Varik · 30-12-2016 12:21pm

Both sold very well at the time, Knack surprisingly well so when would have been a good time. Would it have been better when the player base was lower and more already had them.

lawlolawl · 30-12-2016 1:45pm

The problem with all the monthly games offered with the various subscriptions is fairly simple.

If you are genuinely interested in a game you will more than likely buy it at release or pick it up in one of the numerous sales that MS, Sony and Steam run throughout the year.

Add to that the fact that there are maybe only one or two legitimately worthwhile games released every month and it is hardly surprising that out of the six games offered every month with PS+, chances are that most will either be duds or average at best.

Personally, I pay for PS+ because I have to to play online stuff and I'll occasionally get extra discounts on stuff on PSN with it. I might play one or two of the freebie games offered in any given year.

um7y1h83ge06nx · 30-12-2016 3:28pm

PS Plus is just about worth it for me as I don't play online. I should take a look through the past year and see how many games I played and whether it would have been cheaper to pick them up in sales.

Potential-Monke · 02-01-2017 6:17pm

I'm not bothered about what games come out each month. I don't expect AAA every time, or at all to be honest. But, i can wholeheartedly say that i have more than gotten value for money in 2016. Aside from playing games i never would have, and enjoying a lot of them (Grim Fandango Remastered, Zombi, Tabletop Racing: World Tour, Gone Home, Badland, Journey (don't get the love for this game)), coupled with AAA games more than worth it (GRID, DA: Origins, Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell, Lords of the Fallen), i got NBA 2K16. I hadn't played a basketball game since NBA Jam back on the SNES, and i reckon i've about 150 hours put into this at least. I'm in my 3rd season as a pro, have played every game with quarters set at 6 minutes.

For €50, i think i got well more than a bargain last year. Sure, this year seems to be off to a bad start, but i haven't played any of those games (except This War of Mine, which was amazing to play, but depressed me so much i stopped playing). And, at the end of the day, Xbox were charging the same amount and giving nothing for free until they had to start giving free games, so yurt in my book!

F1ngers · 04-01-2017 10:24am

This War of Mine: The Little Ones is a decent game, put a few hours into it last night.

My 3 characters are all starving, tired and or injured.

nedd · 05-01-2017 1:10pm

I am logged into the store on my Vita and none of the games are showing up under PSPlus for me. I can't even find Titan Souls if I search for it. Strange

Buy the games on the website or your phone and then go into the 'view downloads' section in the store on the Vita (in the black bubble in the bottom left hand corner with the three dots) and download them from there. The store on the vita has been a bit crappy for the last while.

chopperbyrne · 08-01-2017 9:49am

I'm happy with this month's offering. Small indie games suit me fine.

Has Shovel Knight been on the EU PS+ yet?

Sgt Pepper 64 · 19-01-2017 1:11pm

Sp I decided not to renew my PS3 PS plus account, but I have since discovered that some games are still available, which is strange?
It seems completely random and not down to date "purchased" or anything.
For example, Red Dead redemption, Saints row 3rd, brothers, rain, uncharted 3, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger are still playable

but Mass effect, bioshock, catherine, payday, the heist mafia 2 etc arent??

any ideas on this?

The Jak and Daxter Trilogy as well. Haven't a clue why though…

DeSelby83 · 22-01-2017 4:03pm

Started playing the swindle this morning on vita. I think it's a very enjoyable but tough game. Has anyone else played much of it?

EoinHef · 24-01-2017 8:40pm

One of the games with gold games for february is Project Cars,wanted that for awhile.

Heres hoping Sony can offer it for february too on PS+.
