Because you get the benefits of owning a Playstation, Plus free games. ;-)

Good thing I renewed it for 2 years

"But...But... But... You only get them until your PS+ expires"

Which is a true statement.

xHeavYx4442d ago (Edited 4442d ago )

@No_Limit
Yeah, but you get to keep Civilization Revolution, you are so lucky... /s

@Below
I'm sure he will be playing Civilization Revolution or any other game given for free for the next 2 years... Come on dude, at least try

I've renewed for 2016 september. And I will most likely buy even more if there's a good enough deal (12 months, 20€)
So yeah... Even though the games do expire... No one who buys PS+ is likely to stop buying more. It's just that great

curtis924442d ago

I always thought it ironic when ms fans or even ms try to boast that "with games with gold, you keep the games even if you drop xbox live" ...you know... since they throw EVERYTHING else behind the Gold paywall. So you almost literally can't do anything else without Gold.

But do you get Games with gold when not subscribed? Exactly, sure you get to play the ones you got while subscribed, but you get none of the current ones, so what is the point? The point is it's the only bullet point for Game with gold so Xbox fanboys drive it home. They are absolutely kidding themselves if they don't think plus is a better service.

"Why the mandatory Playstation Plus is great"

*Fixed

TheSaint4441d ago

@Heavy, when the Xbots say 'you can't keep your game tho'. Remind them that it's exactly the same as renting the multi-player portion of every single game they buy.

Same logic applies, subscription expires so does there ability to play MP, on every single game they (potentially) paid full price for.

I wonder which is the worse deal?

PS+ has been a great investment for me because it allowed me to play some great games that I would otherwise probably not bothered to purchase. And not just a couple either, I'm talking dozens. You have many detractors saying that "you're just renting the games" which it true but Sony just keeps adding more great games so the value never really goes away.

Also, I don't have a PS4 yet but whenever I do purchase one, I'll still need PS+ to play many of the multiplayer games so there will still be no need for me to get rid of my PS+ subscription.

FunAndGun4442d ago

well since you don't have a PS4 yet, hopefully you have been adding those PS4 Plus games to your download list!

raWfodog4442d ago

Yep, I sure have :) I thought it was really cool for Sony to allow for you to add them to your PS4 download list. I've got every single PS4 free game so far.

I don't see how anyone can say PS+ is not a good deal but everybody has their own opinions.

waltyftm4442d ago

Well said, if i ever manage to buy a PS Vita or a PS4, the games collection already in my download list is going to help a hell of a lot.

raWfodog4442d ago (Edited 4442d ago )

*double post*

Godmars2904442d ago

Rather than being a service which only asks for money, it gives you something back like games as well as discounts?

MasterCornholio4442d ago

Well its a steal compared to live IMO.

And for those who argue the stupid "get them keep them forever" BS.

Will you ever stop paying gold? Probably not and the same goes to PS Plus owners. Which means they will probably get to play their games forever as well.

Godmars2904442d ago

No. PS+ isn't needed to use the PS4 except for one game related aspect. Online multiplayer.

With anything under the Xbox brand however, you will have to have XBL. Its been a long standing point.

Cacabunga18d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot17d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose18d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE18d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername17d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy18d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde18d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8618d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8618d ago (Edited 18d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300018d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7718d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
