Ah, I see.The fall ahead as in time of year.

Looks like ACtivision is going to be king of milking this generation...

Destiny - Milking the Destiny game from last year
CoD BO III - The continued milking of the yearly franchise
Skylanders - The continued milking
Guitar Hero - Trying to re-milk the franchise for a new gen

NewAgeisHere3195d ago

yay...let's all be happy for the company that knows how to create half-finished games and milk them to death. Their games are kinda fun,but I still stand behind what I said in the first sentence.

MysticStrummer3195d ago

Taken King for me. The rest, meh.

I know you joined the Destiny community after launch, how are you holding up? I was a beta tester and day 1 with 500 plus hours and I can't bring myself to play this game right now. Perhaps down the road I will jump in but I grew so tired of them "fixing" things that didn't need fixing. The fact they nerf guns in PvE because they were unbalanced in PvP really turned me off. The way they handled the Ghally was the last straw for me. I was already very rare between plays but instead of just having Xur sell it they say they are nerfing it and then xur magically sells it a week or so later.

Man, this is not the Bungie I knew with the Halo series. It has to be Activision's influence.

"I know you joined the Destiny community after launch, how are you holding up?"

Other games get more of my time but I still enjoy Destiny occasionally and can't see myself getting rid of it. PvP doesn't interest me with this game and I've never really noticed nerfing in PvE, even though I know it has happened.

Too bad God of War isn't on PSNow. It would've slaughtered the Avengers and Aloy!!

roadkillers1068d ago

Yea, I can't find any. Not even the digital versions, Facebook has them going $400 over retail.

poppatron1068d ago

I need to cancel my subscription, there’s rarely anything I like that I don’t already have

Stanjara1067d ago

So Avengers are fine? I thought that the game is dying.

Terrible month. Detroit and Black Ops 3 (available for a limited time) are already in the PS Plus Collection, and Detroit was also a free game on PS Plus years ago. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is terrible. Only the smaller games that were added are good additions.

PS Plus is way better than PS Now right now (quality > quantity) and has been good for a long time, and great since the PS5 released. I was tempted to subscribe to PS Now over the holidays but I just didn't trust in the quality of the service. They need to up their game because the quality of the service is deteriorating. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to ditch PS Now as we know it and basically add it as an extra tier to PS Plus because that's what they've been prioritizing.

Not sure why WWE 2K Battlegrounds was a highlight for this month. I browsed the games in December and it was there/played it.

SamPao1208d ago

Darksiders genesis. Thats a pretty neat addition

gamer78041208d ago (Edited 1208d ago )

The game was a massive disappointment, even playing with a friend it was terrible. But we finished it til the end. The game is so buggy and just not much fun a lot of times.

iplay1up21207d ago

Now, is not nearly as good as Game Pass, but $60 for a year? Well worth it!

gamer78041208d ago

Detroit become human is fantastic. One of the best this gen

oakshin1208d ago

Last time blop 3 was on here it came with the dlc

RgR1208d ago

Great for me.

I was looking to play darksiders genesis...it's the last one I need to play. And little nightmares is another one I wanted to try.

The rest I've already played or am not interested. Overall I think they're great additions.

iplay1up21207d ago (Edited 1207d ago )

I was disappointed with Darksiders 3. I played for a couple of hours, and deleted it. That is just me though, a lot of people liked it. Also the price is right. Hope you do like it!😁

RgR1207d ago

Yea I'm with you there. The beginning and gameplay feels so different but after a certain point I feel like it got much better.

I played it in classic mode so it would be more similar to other darksiders but man did I die a lot in the beginning due to learning how to play. Came into it fresh from darksiders 2.

SamPao1207d ago

Yeah, I am still playing frostpunk from last month...
Heard good things about little nightmares
