Man, I love Aragami but this is not great...

darthv721266d ago

that game looks pretty interesting. The rest.... ehh.

Although lego games are pretty fun, I already have this one (and its sequel).

Army_of_Darkness1266d ago

This is awesome........ NAAAAAT! **Borat accent **

PS+ has been pretty shite too.
Let's be real.

Even PS Now has only been ok, but the good games to be had, as always, can be had for a few bucks online.

LiViNgLeGaCY1266d ago

PS4 is getting Shadow of War and Hollow Knight, which is way better. Try again.

MadLad1266d ago (Edited 1266d ago )

@living

Ooh. Two games that have been on Gamepass for the better part of a year and, again, can be had for a few bucks each.

You must be ecstatic!

:^)

potatoseal1266d ago (Edited 1266d ago )

In the past I've seen games go to gamepass that PS Plus has had a long time ago... the difference is that we don't have to use that as defense like you do.... You have nothing else to say because GwG is horrendous and you know it.

It's truly pathetic that you'd even bring that up quite frankly.

PS Plus is so far ahead of GwG that it's not even funny.

PS5 is also getting
Bloodborne
Days Gone
Detroit: Become Human
God of War
Infamous Second Son
Ratchet and Clank
The Last Guardian
The Last of Us Remastered
Until Dawn
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
Batman: Arkham Knight
Battlefield 1
Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Zombies Chronicles Edition
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
Fallout 4
Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition
Monster Hunter: World
Mortal Kombat X
Persona 5
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Bugsnaxx

ALL FOR JUST BEING A PS PLUS SUBSCRIBER. No extra subscription cost.

waderae1266d ago

@TheRealTedCruz

your comparing plus to Gamepass ? not same thing...

compare plus to games with gold, Sony has this with ease.

2020 Plus games... a sample....

PUBG
Street fighter 5
Fall guys
COD MW2R
R O Tomb raider
NBA2K20
COD WW2
SW Battlefront 2
Uncharted 4
Shadow of Colosus
SIMS 4
Bioshock collection
Uncharted Collection

ALL good games regardless of price or age... what has XBOX had ? Project cars 2, Division & Warhammer... that is basically it.

MadLad1266d ago

@potato

Damn dude; that's actually a solid list of good games ... if you're just getting a PS4 in 2020, just weeks prior to the PS5 launch.
Otherwise you probably own/played through half of them, with the majority of the games listed being dirt cheap, or missing still retail priced dlc (Persona 5 Royal, Monster Hunter: IceBorne, the DLC for FF15)

And Bugsnaxx is timed give out for the PS5 to help push the system's release, bud.

@zsquaresoff

"I dont know about the level of your education, but this post is not about Ps5 or even playstation for that matter."

True, yet the comments is flooded yet again with Sony fanboys, so you will get retaliatory comments towards Sony and the playstation.

neutralgamer19921266d ago

This is especially bad when you take into account what sony is offering on ps4 and ps5

alb18991266d ago

MS gave to us gamepass. Games with gold doesn't have any meaning since I have gamepass.

S2Killinit1266d ago

Pretty sure thats a separate service that you pay for separately. But what do I know.

neutralgamer19921266d ago

alb1899

Yet it's a separate service you have to pay extra for. And your comment is so out of touch because name me five exclusives on Xbox which can compete with PlayStation 4 I will wait

Exactly what I thought. and easy to put your games on game pass when all you do is make AA average games. Compete with nintendo and Sony than you can say GP is a great service. That's why people are willing to pay full price for exclusives from nintendo and Sony

Omegasyde1266d ago

Yea I wouldn’t be surprise if gwg get phased out the way Microsoft is pushing gamepass

DJStotty1265d ago (Edited 1265d ago )

@S2Kilinit

"Pretty sure thats a separate service that you pay for separately. But what do I know."

Just shows what you know, it is all the same service, same sub cost, the name is :-

Gamepass Ultimate

"was" a separate service, now it is cheaper to get ultimate as it includes xbox live gold

How old is Shadow or Mordor now?

S2Killinit1266d ago (Edited 1266d ago )

Shadow of War

neutralgamer19921266d ago

Shadow of war but what about the other games ?

JBlaze2261266d ago

What has Sony been offering? farming simulator? Sony's PS+ quality dipped since it scrap 4 games to just 2 and stop supporting their older consoles.

IanTH1266d ago (Edited 1266d ago )

While I generally agree (haven't subbed to Plus in years), this is not about Sony. This is about the XB offerings this month. GP games being disappointing this month doesn't preclude the same being true of Plus; just means you aim your displeasure for either on their respective articles.

But in November, Plus has Shadow of War and Hollow Knight for the PS4/5, and Bugsnax - indie, but a launch title nonetheless - is included for PS5. That seems like a pretty good set of games to me, and better than what Gold is offering, but it obviously doesn't mean it might not be the opposite for others. I hate how everything is weaponized for either side, though. We should all just want to see amazing stuff included so everyone gets a good value & has a good time, not boast when a console/service they don't have has a bad month. But it's where we are, I guess.

JBlaze2261266d ago

Instantstupor I totally agreed but i hate how Sony just up and stop supporting the vita. Plus I got to say i had a feeling that bugsnax is first free game for ps5. People just wanted shit on Xbox because they are haters devoted to Sony. One thing I hate are radical people.

waderae1266d ago (Edited 1266d ago )

@JBLaze226

You clearly don't look at games offered on plus or you wouldn't made such an idiotic statement.

Picking the worst game as your argument for its quality (farming sim) is weak.... especially when Coffee Talk was offered in June on GWG... ;)

IanTH1266d ago

Yeah, I was sad when they dropped Vita. When they said they were dropping PS3 and Vita to improve PS4 offerings, I thought "Ok, that's an understandable exchange". I was thinking that would get the PS4 offerings to be more like the PS3 offerings were. Plus back then was such a great service. But the offerings didn't improve, at least not in proportion to what was lost. 6 games to 2, and rarely did a PS4 month feel as good as the PS3/Vita days. Definitely a bummer.

JBlaze2261265d ago

waderae I own a ps4 so clearly i look at at the monthly games they offer. I seen that game but again sony only offering 2 games vs xbox 4, clearly you miss the point.

RgR1266d ago

I fully expect MS to tone down Gold offerings in favor of pushing gamepass.

SpeedDemon1266d ago

What do you mean that you expect? They already toned it down months ago.

jznrpg1266d ago

It was never that good besides maybe a couple months

TGGJustin1266d ago

More like years ago. GWG has been a joke ever since Game Pass came out.

CrimsonWing691266d ago

i'll be real, for the most part PS+ has at least given me one solid game a month. There's been a month here or there that was pretty lame, but nothing on this level. This literally feels like bottom of the barrel to me.

porkChop1266d ago

Aragami is not bottom of the barrel. The rest I can understand. FSW was pretty good back in the day, but it's obviously very dated.

RgR1266d ago

@pork

Aragami is a mediocre game at best. Not horrible but not very good either.

Contrast that with ps plus offerings and you got a good game and a great game.

Profchaos1266d ago

That's like Sony making PS plus go bad because they have PS now

timotim2182d ago

Man...the library I'm building for my X is getting in the legendary territory. Elder Scrolls 3, 4 and 5. Kotor 1&2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jade Empire, Geo Wars trilogy, All the Halo games, all the Gears games, a huge chunk of the Star Wars games, Red Dead and tons more all on one box...it almost seems like I'm cheating at times haha.

PapaBop2182d ago

Jedi Academy on consoles? I knew JK2 released on Xbox but didn't realise Academy did too, hands down the best Jedi/Sith action game ever made with an amazing community.

TheOttomatic912182d ago (Edited 2182d ago )

Does online play work for Battlefront 1 and 2? I prefer SP obviously but people have raved about online for both those games back in the day.

Timesplitters is pretty much dead, with Crytek Uk(Free Radical) closing; I would really like a closure to the story of XIII. Also why use Halo assault rifle concept art for the thumbnail?

Fist4achin3033d ago

Instead of bringing back more shooter, I wouldn't mind seeing a little more throwbacks to WW1 and WW2. Even some Vietnam would be cool.

Yui_Suzumiya3032d ago

I've always wanted a really good game based on Vietnam.

ONESHOTV23033d ago

man i wish they remade redfaction 2 loved that game

Yui_Suzumiya3032d ago

Prey 2 needs to be resurrected. Give it to Machinegames. They did miracles with the Wolfenstein license in their hands.
