The early month of GP looks meh to me.

[Crows90]

loop hero has had great reception

[jeromeface]

its also over a year old

[aconnellan]

@jerome

So if it’s on GP too close to release it hurts the devs, but 12 months is too old? When should games get added?

[Neonridr]

@jeromeface - if you've never played the game, does it matter if it came out yesterday or 3 years ago?

[Crows90]

@jerome

Thats irrelevant. I base my preferences on what is good not what is old. Sackboy adventure is old but still a good addition to ps plus.

[Terry_B]

their lineup lately is pretty weird, they have less games than ever per update and more games leave the service

[Lightning77]

Not even remotely true....

You can keep spreading lies I suppose.

[LabRat]

@lightning77 it does actually seem like that. Up until this Activision Blizzard thing started getting a lot of backlash, they were adding like 6 - 8 games every 2 weeks and advertising them like crazy. Now the games seem to trickle in every few weeks, like we get 1, then a week later another, and so fourth. It has changed there is no denying that.

[Lightning77]

@lab this is only the first half of the month.

The second half will have Minecraft Legends Last Case Of Benedict Fox and several others. That's how its always been. You can't sit there and ignore the slew of games that hit the service sinceJanuary

So no it's lies and misinformation as I said.

[LabRat]

@Lightning77 This post has minecraft legends listed, so this is an overview of the entire month. And as I said, they have not done the every 2 week format (first half of the month/second half of the month) all of 2023. I'm sure they will have a few more than this but they have been just kind of trickling games out whenever, and not really even announcing them.

I'm not ignoring the games that have come, I play gamepass all the time, but again, it has definitely slowed down and they definitely changed the format.

[jeromeface]

I love how defensive people get when you criticize facts about gamepass.

[IamTylerDurden1]

It was dry prior to Atomic Heart. Particularly after the MH DLC which personally meant nothing to me. There was a period where newly added games featured mostly Mortal Shell and Metal Hellsinger which were both old GP releases. Even from fall to early 2023 was overrated imo. Games like Scorn and High on Life did not meet the hype and were panned critically and P5 and MH were games that released on PS+ yrs ago or DLC to a game that was on Plus yrs ago. In truth GP was disappointing to me for a while. Particularly considering Starfield, Stalker, Redfall were all delayed and that was the reason i resubbed last yr.

However, since Atomic Heart it has picked up. While broken, i enjoyed AH and though Wo Long wasn't as good as anticipated, it was still solid for GP day 1. Loop Hero is a nice addition and MLB as well. Not sure where Darktide is but GP has indeed been better. No interest in Minecraft and Ghostwire is on PS+ with Dualsense but i'm enjoying GP again.

[AirRevenant]

I have to agree with the drop in quality (but that's always subjective) -- I finally cancelled my subscription.

They've seemingly bailed on the family pc game pass that they were testing out in Ireland, that would have kept me subscribed. They don't even ask why you are cancelling when you cancel, not that they ever read that.

[King_Noctis]

I might be wrong, but didn’t you say how great Ghostwire Tokyo was when it was released?

[IamTylerDurden1]

Loop Hero is a great addition.

[Obscure_Observer]

Looking forward to play the definitive edition of Ghostwire Tokio on my SX!

[Pocahontas]

Took ya long enough

[shinoff2183]

Isn't the same edition available on ps5

[DickyD1226]

Yes

[Obscure_Observer]

No.

The day the game releases on Gamepass it will be getting a massive update. PS5 players will be getting it as well.

https://n4g.com/news/254090...

[shinoff2183]

So yea. The same edition. Same day. Lol

[RedDevils]

lol fucking idiot

[IamTylerDurden1]

No, it lacks the Dualsense implementation. So u can argue it's an inferior edition.

[onisama]

no

[S2Killinit]

I’ve been playing Ghostwire on Plus/Extra for a while now. Highly recommend.

[jznrpg]

It’s okish. Combat isn’t very good . Have fun with the same version that PS has but definitive for you somehow

[Obscure_Observer]

"Have fun with the same version that PS has but definitive for you somehow"

FYI:

New areas ⛩️
New missions 📖
New powers 🔥
New collectibles 😼
New enemies 👹
New roguelite mode ☠️

Definitely NOT the version that PS5 players has been playing, but whatever makes you sleep at night.

[Rockstar]

@ Obscure

When you're an xbox fanboy you've got to have something to look forward to.

[RedDevils]

Same shit, Insecure little girl will whine at whatever.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Obscure_Observer

All that new stuff....that PS5 gets at literally the same time. I understand irrational fanboy spin but you are bragging about getting the game a year later bc it will have a new patch that mind you is available to all platforms.

Like someone on XB or PS bragging bc they had to wait to play Hades simply bc by the time it hits their platform it gets a non exclusive patch. Pathetic.

[IamTylerDurden1]

It's also coming to PS+ so i guess PS gamers got to play the day 1 edition and plus subscribers will also get "the definitive edition". Btw, the deep Dualsense implementation on PS5 kinda makes THAT the definitive edition. In reality, PS got it day 1 and gets the extra bells and whistles through the superior controller. Plus, just like GP it is on plus. Just like Deathloop.

[Hereandthere]

Xbox has seemingly copied the way ps plus extra and Premium are updated, game pass used to have 2 drops a month, now its only one like ps plus.

[wiz7191]

I like it better that way , just give me all the drops at once no point in spreading them out ..

[S2Killinit]

Hmm Im not sure you are correct about Plus/Extra. I downloaded three new heavy hitters last month. Does it vary?

[Obscure_Observer]

"Xbox has seemingly copied the way ps plus extra and Premium are updated, game pass used to have 2 drops a month, now its only one like ps plus."

Not true. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly, The Last Case of Benedict Fox and
Homestead will also be available this month.

[z2g]

And Redfall is coming shortly after these.

[Obscure_Observer]

One month!

[InUrFoxHole]

Noice!

[thesoftware730]

I will check out GW and MC:L

another MS game that will be on Playstation.

[RavenWolfx]

Iron Brigade (originally known as Trenched) is a really great Tower Defense game! Highly recommended.

[Terry_B]

Its from 2012.

[RavenWolfx]

Is that a problem? Or just a statement? It is a great co-op Tower Defense game, that is part of GamePass so it doesn't cost you anything extra to download and check out.

[TheEnigma313]

Just got GP for a year for $23. Let's see how it goes

[Tzuno]

Weak lineup

[IamTylerDurden1]

Ghostwire is on PS+ as well. I made the mistake of playing Deathloop on GP XBSS instead of PS+. Great game but
i felt like i missed out on a lot of technical features. Deep Dualsense implementation, ray tracing, and it ran dynamic 1080 on S often sitting 900p. By the time i renewed by PS+ i was burnt on Deathloop. So i'm not touching Ghostwire on XB. Did the same with GotG. Btw, Series S bc it was all that was available last year. However, even with SX i'd prefer these games on PS5 bc of Dualsense.

Loop Hero is a nice addition for me though. Just like Inscryption and Vamp Survivors it's a PC roguelite i have been anticipating. I have PC but it's in the closet. Hopefully Loop Hero exceeds the hype like those previous two. Inscryption on PS5 was sublime and Vamps was a joy on XB.

[FTLmaster]

Loop hero is awesome

[anast]

Looks rough
