JESUS. Christcentered gaming needs to do something about this injustice.

neomahi911d ago

What do they have to do with anything? That seems like the most hypocritical group anyway.

LucasRuinedChildhood912d ago (Edited 912d ago )

Considering that Godfall Challenger Edition is just a glorified demo for a bad game, and we're not getting Judgement either, Mortal Shell better have the free PS5 upgrade for us at least.

ThePacemaker911d ago

I wish this is the case, but considering the release of FF7R PS4 version on PSPlus earlier this year. That won’t happen unfortunately.

Viljong911d ago

Psplus games have free update if available Psnow doesnt update games even if there is ps5 version like avengers or borderlands you only get ps4 version no matter what.

Atleast shadow of tombraider updated while it was released as a ps4 game on psplus.

@Viljong

My dear, regarding PSplus’s shadow of tomb raider update, this patch what released for this ps4 game to render it 4k/60. But the case is different here. Mortal Shell PS5 version is a rightful Ps5 game called “Mortal Shell enhanced edition”. In other words, it is a separate game. Just like what happened with FF7Remake ps4 edition which was given with PSplus & FF7R intergrade which is a ps5. You couldn’t update it to intergrade unless you bought the ps4 game. I wish you are right, but I doubt it will happen.

dbcoops911d ago

If it's such a "bad game" why is everyone getting bent over it being a "demo"? Its like people really really wanted the full version of that "bad game" they don't like.

Taero911d ago

Probably because if they're going to offer that game as one of the three for the month it should a)be a decent to good game and b) actually be the game. I see why they're doing it but it does kind of set the precedence that publishers could get away with making a new 'version' of the game with pieces removed and then hope for purchases to unlock the 'full' game. Even if godfalls campaign is shite.

AirJohnston911d ago

Because it sets a horrible precedent dude. Doesn’t matter how good or bad it is, why are they putting not even half of a game the Plus game of the month when we’re paying for better?

Class_Viceroy911d ago

Hah, quite true. They have a fun lego game, and Mortal Shell which is a good game and they chose to focus on a demo. I actually think it would be pretty cool if we started seeing more tailored demos on the service. I miss the days of getting demo CDs inside of games I bought back in the day on PS. We have a whole generation of gamers who don't even know what demos are anymore so they don't know how to react to them.

I actually bought Godfall when it was on sale for $30 or $40 a few months back on the PS4. I've enjoyed myself with it. It was exactly what I was expecting. A looter fighter with good combat and cheesy/bad story.

Sometimes you can enjoy a game more when you distance yourself from other people's opinions. I love buying games a year later.

Class_Viceroy911d ago

Wow, entitled much?

Regardless of anything else, your subscription that you pay $40-60 a year for, just gave you a pretty decent game in Mortal Shell with a MSRP of $30. Even if it doesn't have a PS5 upgrade you're getting great value.

Love how people complain about these free games every month like it's a lifeline, when in reality we get between $500-1,000 a year in value for paying like $50 a year.

AllThingsShining911d ago

How are they free if we pay for them.

LucasRuinedChildhood911d ago (Edited 911d ago )

No one here is being entitled. Sony said we'd get a PS5 game every month, and this Challenger Edition is just a demo (the campaign is removed) to try sell the actual game which isn't good.

There's nothing wrong with having standards. If you look through my comments this year, I was heavily praising PS Plus because I was being honest then and I'm being honest now. In the past, they wouldn't even allow a game this bad on there, evening guaranteeing a Metacritic score of 75 and higher. Godfall has a 61.

Also, I subscribed to PS Plus at the beginning so I remember what PS Plus was like at its very best, e.g. in 2013 https://psplusinfo.com/game... I don't have auto-renew turned on so if my subscription lapsed before this month, I'd consider waiting until next month to re-subscribe.

Traecy912d ago

Sony needs to do this for the USA including other countries.

autobotdan911d ago (Edited 911d ago )

Sony doesn't need to do anything at all. Sony is dominating the console market and that is not going to change. Sony can stop giving away free monthly Playstation Plus games and Playstation 5 will still stay number one in the world

People on N4G want Playstation to dominate so much. There is this very old classic Nine Inch Nails song that had these exact lyrics- 'Bow down before the one you serve, your going to get what you deserve..'

Traecy911d ago (Edited 911d ago )

You're entitled to your comment just as I'm entitled to mine. Again...as a faithful PS+ customer seeing that Sony has given Asia another game due to the half version of Godfall Sony needs to do this in all territories that have PS+. NIN song "Head Like A Hole" has nothing to do with it. Try again.

Elda911d ago

Nope. Sony needs to do this for all PS+ customers.

Dandalandan117911d ago

You do realized that these companies are making more money out of subscriptions and services rather than console hardware sales right?

Silly gameAr911d ago

@Dandaladan117
And that's a scary fact.

Taero911d ago

Eh, one of the reasons I'm on Playstation right now (apart from having it since psone so nostalgia and familiarity) is that PS+ gives free games each month, when money is tight I know that even if I don't like everything there will probably be something that I can play. If they had said "Yeah so for PS5 we're going to not give you any games, PS+ is just for multiplayer" then I would have given serious thought to jumping to MS. It's just a machine, I don't owe allegiance to whatever rich guy greenlit it.

Again Sony doesn't need to do anything because every Playstation console owner is forced to subscribe to Playstation Plus to play games online. There are alot of Playstation console owners and many are still trying to purchase a Playstation 5. Most people that purchase a Playstation 5 will subscribe to Playstation Plus to play online. And that is alot of people. Faithful subscribers will get some good months and bad months of free games. Try again

Traecy911d ago

Again...all PS+ customers should get the game Judgement just as Asia PS+ customers did..period.

CptDville911d ago

Thank God you do not need to pay Live Gold over Xbox and that Xbox Series X availability around the world is super good. I'm also happy that Live Gold praise its players with super duper good games! Not only that, Switch Oled is quite easy to find and Nintendo Online subscription is super kind with lots of freebies, no subscription DLC and availability of retro gaming for free! I thank Playstation for making its competitors life so easy to win the subscription program offers.

Because it would break their budget to bring it to NA?

PC Games That Are Better With A Controller

Here are some great PC games that are even better with a controller. In fact, one can say that they're meant to be played with a controller.

That's why I don't mess with PC gaming for the most part. When I game I'm relaxing. Hard to do that with a keyboard and mouse. That's just my thought on it.

I'm still hoping bethesada adds real controller support to the og fallout or re release them on xbox like what was done with wasteland 1

What exactly is so hard about using a keyboard and mouse compared to a controller when subjectively relaxing? Do you game upside down on a crossbar?

Daeloki275d ago

At least in my opinion, with a controller I can lay back comfortably in my couch however I want. Keyboard + mouse would require a table and chair, and requires investing in ergonomics not to completely mess up my back (not saying the couch is good for my back either but achieving comfortability is easier). Again, emphasizing that I'm speaking out of opinion, and I agree with you that concepts of relaxing and which is better are both very subjective matters. All in all I don't think it's a particularly good article since it really boils down to personal preference.

Crows90535d ago (Edited 535d ago )

Heavenly sword .. lol Microsoft owns the devs that made that game but not the game lol.
Probably gonna go with farcry 5 if I decide to sub.

MadLad535d ago (Edited 535d ago )

Yeah.
That's pretty much how bringing a 3rd party, multiplatform studio under the fold after they released games work.
Whatever deal was made here was between Microsoft and Sony.

SurgicalMenace535d ago

It's public knowledge that Sony owns the IP to Heavenly Sword much like Capcom owns the rights to DMC. It is possible to just contract a developer to make the game while retaining the rights.

Crows90535d ago

@surgical@Mad

Yeah...still funny. Also shows that MS is on a blind buying spree and this whole thing about a "relationship" is a bunch of horse kaka.

deleted535d ago

"We built that!" -Microsoft X'D

Guitardr85534d ago

Just like Bungie and Halo. Bungie made Halo for Microsoft then became independent and was bought by Sony. Sony owns Bungie but cant touch Halo.

gold_drake534d ago

well, yes. heavenly sword is owned by sony.
not ms.

Crows90534d ago

@guitard

Honestly I think Bungie will be making exclusive games for Sony. Especially if ms succeeds in buying Cod. Bungie would be incredible if allowed to be creative with the support of Sony and its devs.

Trophy support for any of the classic titles?

LucasRuinedChildhood534d ago (Edited 534d ago )

I've been enjoying PS Plus Essential more than PS Plus Extra, tbh (Mass Effect: Legendary Edition this month and Nioh 2 last month). Extra started off strong but I don't think they're focusing enough on the right things.

They should bring more games like Stray into the service (I think it was the most popular game on PS Plus overall this year). Imagine if they had Neon White day 1. They need more unique games like Metal: Hellsinger, Sifu, Kena, Hades, The Entropy Center, etc.

I'm going to play The Pedestrian though - it's supposed to be quite good. And we got some new classics that aren't streaming (I'll be giving Ridge Racer 2 a go).

Petebloodyonion534d ago

Sony made it clear that for them PS+ is more like a second chance for known titles to get value amongst ppl that would have never bought the game in the 1st place.
they used the movie analogy where a movie is 1st release in theater, then Bluray and after subscription service

crazyCoconuts534d ago (Edited 534d ago )

I look at it like this: Extra is only $40/yr more than Essential, which is like $3.33 more a month. Like a third of what GamePass costs (not even taking into account essential is way better than gold). So I guess given how cheap it is I'm not expecting day one or even year one games

crazyCoconuts535d ago

Looks like a pattern where you may get a PS4 version of a game with the basic plus sub, and you get the PS5 upgrade as part of the Extra upgrade. Greedfall, the Dark Pictures games, and now Mortal Shell follow this pattern

SlothLordPootus535d ago

I wish they would have let us upgrade those free versions to the ps5 versions for a fee. Instead i just didnt play them. At least i get to play mortal shell now. Lol

crazyCoconuts534d ago

At least some of those (like mortal shell) have an upgrade charge from ps plus to enhanced. I would say it's not worth the $20-30 imo though

Abnor_Mal535d ago

I will give Judgement a try, never played a Yakuza game before, this could be the jumping in point.

Shadow of Mordor was great, but Shadow of War not so much, the grind at the time was too much, plus I don’t know if it was the controller or game but I had drifting issues.

SullysCigar535d ago

I was thinking Judgement too. Been watching Giri/Haji and it's awesome. Given me that Yakuza bug again!

Profchaos535d ago

Cool I've always been curious about far cry primal I'll be trying that

SurgicalMenace534d ago

Dude, I know it has to be challenging to wake up every day as yourself. I mean, having nothing to look forward to but Elden Ring praise. Once Fromsoftware, inevitably builds the Church of Elden you'll find your place of greatness. You not caring for what I do doesn't sway my choices of play in the least. All those awards don't add or take away from my bottom line which allows me the freedom of movement I've grown accustomed to.

Perhaps those are victories for you but I see Sony benefitting from everyone's blind devotion as they own enough rights to determine which systems Fromsoftwares games are released on or not. That's not to mention that they also get paid while they do it. That's more impressive than some GOTY award however you chop it.🤷🏾‍♂️

534d ago
SurgicalMenace534d ago

Irrelevant? Wipes the floor? Bruh, you need a girlfriend, job, friends, or something outside of video games as an outlet. You're delusional if you believe that what others think determines what I choose to like. I purchased both Elden and BotW just to decide for myself that I liked neither. I have my own system of measurement when it comes to deciding what I like or not. I'm not understanding why it would matter to anyone who wins GOTY when they can choose what they like themselves. Those awards have failed to sway me in the least. I played Elden/BotW long enough to make an educated decision.

Definitely give Mortal Shell a shot. One of the better soulslikes out there. Not too long either.
