Well looks like I will get to play tales from the borderlands after all :smile:

Vita games are rubbish again :disappointed:

Congrats, You've won this month. I mean you Buzz, not Sony. Even though Tales from the Borderlands is a good title,
Xbox had more to offer.

It would be a bit more appealing hadn't (a guessable) 60% of the forum picked it up from PSN US for around £2 :smile:

Great game, but already have Tales from the Borderlands :disappointed:

HEAT. Tales From the Borderlands, great offering. Best one they've had for a while. Alienation looks fun too, happy with this :smiley:

Tales from the Borderlands is great, one of the best Telltale games in ages. You don't even need to be a fan of the Borderlands titles to appreciate this (but it will contain some slight spoilers for Borderlands 2 at least).

a pretty good month. heat added

Not bad for ps4 for a change been wanting to try alienation

Really good month right there! Really loved Tales from the Borderlands so anyone that hasn't played it will be in a for a treat! I had a feeling Alienation would eventually appear on ps+. Was so tempted to buy it from the sales in the past. The wait has paid off. :laughing:

Are the EU and NA ones different? Only NA is getting Abzu and that's very hot :smiley:

edit: looking through Alienation reviews though this is also very good for us!

That reminds me, I should get round to creating a US PSN :smile: I had it on Xbox, but never got to play it so I sold it, but since it's 'free' I might aswell :man:

Already got Borderlands from a US sale a while back. The rest looks pretty meh for PS4 and Vita.

More for the virtual 'to play pile' but will never actually play :disappointed:

Decent month for the PS4 after last months shocker. I think Sony can claim this one in the made up battle of which company has the best 'free' game offerings.

And yes I know it's technically not free before any of the 'busy' people comment "they're not free"

Interesting, the US have Abzu for PS4 instead of Alienation. While I'd like to play Abzu, I'm quite happy with the one we have. :smiley:

Surprise surprise, another PS Plus title (Alienation) which has an abundance of paid DLC available.

Is that from tooth fairy? :smirk:

Tales from the Borderlands is a great game, heat for that alone

Everyone should play Tales from the Borderlands. One of Telltale's best, genuinely funny and far better than it had any right to be.

cheers OP

I hadn't jumped in for Borderlands yet - so that's a good one to get... but again I think Xbox edges it this month.

At least I feel Sony tried this month...

Heat for the info...

PlayStation?
Cold.
Xbox is so much better than the Megadrive, it's got Mode 7!

Vita games are rubbish again :disappointed:

Tales of the Borderlands soundtrack is worth it alone.

Damn, I have both of the PS4 titles already. Great games though

Really good month. Shame I own them all and USA is getting abzu instead of alienation :disappointed:

Great games this month, already own Tales from the Borderlands but it's truly excellent and the best of all the Telltale games.

Alienation has been on my wishlist for a while, good stuff.

TFTBL is my favourite TT Game - I know TWAU is a better story but I'm a sucker for humour :smile:

Awesome, i was going to buy alienation when it was on sale a few weeks ago, glad I waited :smiley:

I'm away for the whole of May, is it possible to add the games to my account via an app or visiting the store in a browser? Don't want to miss TFTB :smile:

Tales from the borderlands is brilliant, all the others are new too me but i will give them a place in my digitally library. Thinking knack must be next month.

heat for Borderlands, although it's on sale pretty frequently and with a cheeky region change it can be picked up for a couple of quid....it's no Games with Gold though is it?

I have both the ps4 ones already, but its a great month for those who don't

I really enjoyed platting Alienation. A bit grindy to get to level 100 but an excellent game imho

heat

Typical whenever there is a good game I've already bought it, heated though for a good month :smiley:

Mmmmm. Alienation appears to have a good metacritic score and I'm really not into the copy and paste telltell games. Mixed feelings this month.

True, although I think it'll actually say "Add To Library" or sometimes "Download" depending on where you are (rather than Purchase - that might lead to accidentally buying it).

Alienation, nice :smiley:

Good month for me and others who have got Borderlands already but great month for everyone else. BL is just behind Wolf among us for me as best Telltale game so far!

Not sure what your point is? In the PS+ glory days we saw AAA games where the initial main sales had tailed off and they were happy to give us the base game for free so that it would create new sales for the DLC creating a win-win for the publishers and the consumers

Had tales from the borderland for like 2 years never bothered to play it

Heat because it reminded me to purchase this months ps3 ps+ games :smile:

It's very good, first episode is the worst out of the set.

Not sure if anyones said it yet, I don't think so ...................... Where's Knack???? :stuck_out_tongue:

Abzu is the American offering instead of Alienation

meh Telltale games are a bit stale for me now but did love Borderlands so hopefully the lore makes me enjoy the game. Heat

Arghh, after waiting for their prices to drop for ages, I bought Tales from the Borderlands AND Alienation in last month's sale (and only because of the £10 voucher offer) :disappointed:. I guess I had to get stung eventually. Fantastic month anyway, heat added.

EDIT: My selective dementia is a relief for once - it was The Handsome Collection I bought, not Tales from the Borderlands :laughing:. Now I don't feel so bad.

Is it a easy platinum and if so, how long does it take to get it?

About to show up on PS Now :P

Alienation is supposed to be a great co-op twin-stick shooter (79 on Metacritic). If you played and liked Helldivers or Dead Nation, I think you'd like it.

Absolute trash for PS3 again. PS4 games are just cheap average games. Still a bad month imo.

I think that'll increase the likelihood that it'll appear on UK PS+ at some point. There's no way in hell I'm gonna buy it now :smiley:.

Result! Came soooo close to buying alienation but was convinced it would be on plus this year!

The DLC is for this is pretty insignificant, you wouldn't be missing out on much.

This Season Pass includes:
• Survivor’s Pack: a unique weapon hack, a powerful grenade and three new bullet colours.
• Conqueror’s Pack: a deadly laser weapon, a new heavy weapon and three new armour paint colours.
• Veteran Heroes: a fast-track to Hero Level 15 for your soldiers.
• Official Soundtrack: 21 explosive tracks to get the heart pumping.
• PS4™ dynamic theme.

Alienation: 79 critic/82 user score on Metacritic.
Tales from the Borderlands: 86 critic/81 user score on Metacritic.
Cheap on sales maybe, but average? You'd be in the minority thinking that.

It's a guaranteed platinum rather than just an easy one, it's fun, and will be around 10 hours with each episode taking 1.5 - 2hrs I think from memory. Depends how many brews you make during the game I guess :wink:

A better month than March and April that's for sure.

Here's a breakdown - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrIJX6FLllI&spfreload=5

Heat added :smile:

Tales from the Borderlands is probably the best game Telltale have ever created. So funny.

Cancelled my ps sub. Won't be renewing. Besides have xbox live until September 2018. It's great having BC on XB1 as you can pick up games from music magpie or eBay for 2 quid.

I unfortunately watched a whole playthrough of Tales from the Borderlands last year because point and click aren't real games and thought the story was great and I don't even like Borderlands. Only good game is Alienation as I have been wanting to play this for a while but didn't want to pay for it.

excellent!! cheers!!

But this is me, I don't have any friends! :smile::disappointed:

Already played tales from the Borderlands, fantastic game if you love that kind of thing

Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have to shoehorn in sessions whilst grinding for the Horizon plat (at times I have no idea what I'm doing, very slow at progressing. 40 hours, level 35 even with shadow bows and weapons and loads of pink mods, only just passed the carja border fort outside Nora :confused: ).

Although suspecting tales of the borderlands is a point and click game, the story would have to be great to hold my attention. The last plat attempt I tried was Day of the Tentacle remastered, and I couldn't last an hour through it before getting sick of hearing the dumb music and that stupid name Hoagie.

Alienation!! Yassssss!! Can't wait to play this Dead Nation reboot :smile:

Two games I've wanted to play and never actually bought for once! Shame I've spent a **** load lately in the sales, Just more games that won't get played for ages.

Are these part of the free monthly games? I didn't see them on the PS earlier

That's the best way to approach any of those longer games, as that's definitely better than rushing through and missing the beauty of the landscape and all the little details!

TOTB- It's a great game for relaxing from other games that you have to concentrate to play. There's more to hold your attention than a standard point and click. I'm sure everyone who hasn't played it will enjoy it :smiley:

Bummer :smiley:. Though I've played Helldivers loads of times with randoms and it's still great fun.

Are you PuckaMucka Snarf :sunglasses:?

Alienation was released exactly one year today :man: I wonder which game holds the record for appearing on PS+ or Gold not long after the release date?

Answers on a postcard and obviously games like Rocket League, Drawn to Death etc do not count! :wink:

oh well, good games this month even though I already own both the PS4 titles... but it's ok, I only think of PS Plus as a way to get discounts on digital game sales, that alone is more than worth it if you buy mostly digital (when they go down in price!)

Nice games, but Alienation seems like a clone of another free one, Helldivers. I mean that was fun so I don't mind but I'm more than happy with Tales From The Borderlands :smiley:

For the trophy hunters, Tales from the Borderland has a separate trophy list for digital and disc on PS4. So if you've already platinumed it on disc, you can get it again!

It's at least something I suppose. Much rather stick with the PS4/PC. If I have an itch to go back and play a couple 360/PS3 games. I think I much rather go and buy a £50 360 or PS3 and play any 360/PS3 game available. As not every PS3 game is available on PS Now and not all 360 games are BC on XB1.

finally something good.... :smiley:

Anyone know if it's possible to use your existing UK account for the US to get the different games they have through same PS plus? Would you have to sign up again?

Gone Home took about 4 months I think (though its PAL release was delayed, it was probably longer in other territories). Invisible Inc was only about 6 months too

It isn't - European and US accounts are separate, including for PS Plus subscription.

I don't own a PS but Tales from the Borderlands, by far the best game of the Telltale games, so funny, episode 4 with the finger shooting. I only paid £5 for it but i guess seeing it on here, shows its not just the Walking dead ones that end up free eventually so think i might wait for Minecraft and Batman,Walking dead S3 as i got the rest.

Enjoyed Borderlands and it's a cheap platinum :smirk:

I have two PS4 consoles. A Vita and two PS3's. And a backlog of games. Just find more value with microsoft currently.

Suppose I'll never buy abzu until it comes on plus. They are just harming their own publishers by splitting the psplus games like this

Thought About was included :disappointed: didn't realise I was looking at the US titles. Oh well :l

Abzu would have been nice. Nothing that interests me again.

why not buy Abzu? It's a fantastic game

Because I can almost guarantee that it will be on plus the month after I buy it, I've been stung like this so many times on plus

Its 2nd of May. What time do they switch over to new games? Still showing last months

Mid-afternoon, typically somewhere around 4-5pm UK time.

It will be great to have a month where the Vita games are actual genuine Vita titles, not a cross-buy thrown in to make a 3rd PS4 game for PS4 owners.

Maybe next month... :wink:

Yeah I excitedly bough a PS Vita and apart from Pesona, haven't really used it much, which is a shame as managed to get an OLED one too.
Thanks for reminding me I have one.
Wonder what World of Final Fantasy is like? Suits (and could do with) a good old school turn based rpg

Do you need to be a fan of the telltale games? I really haven't enjoyed them despite loving life is strange and until dawn.

Its free so you can try it out for yourself. In fact the first episode has been free for a while.

No this is wrong. They always appear midday around 11-12 UK time.

It's pretty fun. There are lots of good Japanese games on the Vita, plus the visual novels. They are the main reason to own a Vita, and what keeps my interest (along with many on here), it's just a shame a few more of them haven't made it onto Plus just yet. I do enjoy some of the indie games we get, I just wish that we didn't keep getting cross-buy with PS4 games so I end up with the same game twice :/

Probably the best thing about the Vita is being able to remotely play any PS4 game on it.

I didn't use it enough and sold mine a while back, but that was by far and away what I used it for the most.
