I already have it on Pro and its waaaaay smoother than on the standard PS4, load times still suck though tbh :smile:

It might just be me but FC doesn't seem to run at the same res / frames as BF.
Also, the story is unengaging but wadaya want for next to nowt?

As opposed to what, popping candies? Or maybe shooting another 12 year old in the face? Horses for courses my friend :smile: With all the different weapons and vehicles in this game I found it anything but repetitive

What's with all this AAA bilge they've been giving us in recent months. Bring back the indies!


(I'm being silly. Downwell is great, and I might even install JC3)

Best month yet for me. Been looking forward to freedom cry ever since completing Black Flag and Just Cause 3 looks pretty good too.

It's usually a loss, which I've convinced myself to call it as a "renters fee."

Two pages in and this hasn't turned into a massive bun fight riddled with terrible grammar :disappointed:

COLD :wink:

I have it on good authority that next month we'll be getting Knack!
Or possibly the month after. If not then it should be the month after that! :wink:

Can confirm, had no issues with it on my Pro as yet. Done about half of it so far.

it's pretty dump tbh

Was about to buy freedom cry so that's pretty good.

JC3 is fun until the excitement of massive amount of explosions wears off

This again? Move on mate.

JC3 what a cracker! Was looking at trying it.

Damnnnn that's a good month. Bit of a weird thing with the freedom cry expansion but still that's still awesome

There's always one muppet :stuck_out_tongue:

(Can I say that?)

Yeah well, now it's going to feel worse lol.

Games I might actually play at some point. Heat

What's weird? It's a standalone dlc. Played it quite recently and it brought back good memories of Black Flag.

You're so self entitled!!! :face_with_monocle:

If you change your mind about a purchase made from the PlayStation®Store, you can request a refund to your PSN wallet within 14 days from the date of transaction, provided that you have not started downloading or streaming your purchase.

playstation.com/en-…cy/

if you havent downloaded it yet , you can get a refund :smile: never tried it so dont know how easy/laborious the process is

Good month, apparently Downwell is meant to be pretty good and it's also cross buy with the PS4.

Glad to see a retail PS4 game, well done Sony finally getting the message. I know it's Just Cause 3fps, but I'll take it

Been over 14 days like loads of other games I own but haven't played. Has been downloaded but not installed yet :disappointed:

No bother, bought with cheap PSN credits.

just cause 3 nice 1 finally get to play it

are either of the vita games crossbuy with ps4?

Deluded gamer here. Having had a different, more positive experience, I enjoyed completing JC3 this time last year. Had pretty minimal performance issues and after trading it in, recently found myself waiting for a sale to get it again with the dlc, and now just need the Dlc so I'm happy.

Also, I nominate tony hawks pro skater 5 if we're tossing around 'worst game on ps4' accolades.:D

Noice

I own a hard copy of JC3 and loved it. The game is pretty much messing about and blowing stuff up. I didn't really sense there was any plotted direction to the game but it's loads of fun

Sony finally pulled out all the stops for the last 2 months!

I'm sorry but there's just no way you experienced no issues.. Is your PS4 special or something lol, seriously how can you say you didn't notice any performance issues when its so bad? Are you blind? Sorry but there just no way you experienced no issues... Either you're lying or delusional. I could believe it if you were playing on PC where everyone has different setups but not on PS4 where they are the same and run the same.. Even PS4 Pro has performance issues with it! You must be a JC3 Dev lol.

Downwell is

Thanks

You not seen the current offerings for the PS4?

I purchased at launch, completed and as well was not aware of performance issues.

Tend not to get hung up on graphics etc, from what I remember It looked ok and I enjoyed the gameplay. If that makes me delusional as well fair enough.

I may be very...very wrong... but... Downwell looks absolutely dreadful... and similar to a spectrum game from 20+ years ago!...

Is "That's you" a game where you can play as the two guys from History Today on The Mary Whitehouse Experience? Because that alone would be worth the subscription cost.

Muh... JC3 is good, but seems to have serious performance issues.

Plus I already have it on Steam and it runs well enough.

Forget about JC3 and AC ..... DOWNWELL FOR VITA! HYPE!!

What is it with Knack ? . It's only 3.99 on the store at the minute .

Yawn. I dont like this month. I have just cause 3 on PC and I dont care for sub par Assassins spin offs. Ohhhh well I will have more time to explore this months humble bundle monthly. Nice.

It's basically a meme at this point (_;)

Is JC3 already free to download on the PS Store or do we have to wait till 01/08? Thanks

Yup BUT apparently it plays like an absolute dream. I for one shall give it a shot, especially on the Vita.

No Knack, voted cold on 300 accounts

Own both PS4 games but quality month for those without these games. :neutral_face:‌ :neutral_face:

Got them both already dam

PS4 games - great.
Everything else - meh.

still no knack or gravity rush remastered

Good for you.

You have to wait till 01/08

It's been patched plenty and really is a blast. If you have a pro even better with boost mode.

Nearly four years ago the PS4 was released, it's time to move on.

Disk or digital doesn't matter, it writes to the hdd either way.

Recently bought just cause 3 for £5. Guess I'll sell it on while it's worth something.

How much is it really going to be worth. You paid a 5er. Jeez.

"Pooh, Pooh! Your book smells of poo!"
"That's because it's been in your mum's bra."

I didn't mean my comment above as a seriously bad thing.
I gotta slow down buying games to sit on a pile, by the time I'll get around to playing them all. They will be on ps+. > <

Seems it's worth £7 cash cex. So not all bad.

Knack is 3.99 on psn at the mo :wink: practically free right? or do you think the askers really don't want to spend a penny on a pretty decent game?

Wow nice one Sony.

Good line up! :D.

Profit is a rare thing in this hobby.

Bought JC3 off the sale. Haven't played it yet :'(

Games With Gold FTW

Said no-one ever

Time to trade in JC3 from my pile of shame :thumbsup:

Thanks for the heads up, that will be 3 months of excellent games! :smile:

Games with Gold FTW, with a far better lineup overall for most months
The past 3 ps plus months nice though

You need to upgrade to the PS4 Pro to experience this game in all its glory! :smiley_cat:

The PS3 games are awful. :disappointed:

If it weren't for Just Cause 3, this would be the worst month I've ever seen.

Gonna pass on Just Cause 3fps

I bought it for £3.99 and think its well worth it.

Just cause can be fun but Freedom Cry feels like a bit of a kick in the nuts following on from Until Dawn..

Knacks next month. :smile:

Knack? I hope not. I got it as part of my pack when I got my PS4......so did loads of others.

Just Cause 3! Woop.

I know it runs like ass, but been considering buying it for a while...well move on over wallet, PS+ comes in CLUTCH!

People dissing indie games for being indie games do not deserve to get free games IMO

So the moment someone expresses an opinion that differs from your own, suddenly they're either lying or delusional? :joy: I have been playing it on and off for the past year and haven't had any problems, I actually put in a couple of hours last night. The game looks amazing and runs absolutely fine so, from my experience, I can only assume they have either patched the game since all of these 'performance issues', or perhaps you don't take care of/maintain your PS4?. :smile:

Lowering resolution wont help much. The weak CPU in consoles is what will be the limiting factor with all those explosions.

Just Cause 3 runs as smooth as butter on the Pro, it's just a great game to have a lot of fun without to much thought, sure it can get a bit repetitive but most open world games do.

I just cant get tired of sticking rocket mines to the backside of sheep and seeing what happens :grin:

Yes, but you do need explicitly to redeem them to your account, once they go live.

Not a bad month at all!

I always laugh at how much heat these PS Plus/Games with Gold things tend to get. 2500 degrees! For Just Cause 3 and an Assassin's Creed spinoff that I guarantee about 5% of people will play and finish.

HUKD will crash if they announce Knack for September...

Good month... PS+ FInallllly back to almost its best....... Never got round to buying AC-FC so looking forward to that... and have just cause on xbox - but happy to have it on ps4...

a good mix this month.

Well done Sony... added to a solid month from Xbox... i am a happy camper..

Heh, I'm actually disappointed in the "AAA" games on offer. Can't stand the Assassin's Creed games, didn't rate the first Just Cause (can you still run up 80-degree slopes as though they were flat ground in the new one?) so never touched the others. Never mind, I buy PS+ to play online, for less than £3 a month, so I shan't be complaining.

Anyone know if there's a market for buying someone's PS4 who've had a PS+ subscription for a while?

Was thinking it'd make a great present for someone who hasn't touched a game in a few years as they'd get an instant library of games.

Most of my ebay searches seem to just give bundles with Ninja Gaiden Sigma plus etc.

Just Cause 3 is a decent title! :-)

And, unlike Black Flag (which is excellent), it's a load of c**p!

Welcome back maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

It's against Sony terms and conditions to sell accounts. Apart from that it does work. But the question will always be, for how long? Original owner has proof it's his account and can take it back at any point. Original owner might not even be the one selling it (could be hacked/stolen). Imagine buying it on eBay, you get it, it works great you leave amazing feedback then the next day it stops working so he can sell another ps4 with the same stuff.

Taking all that into account I certainly wouldn't pay much at all over the base going rate for one with pre-installed games/plus.

Is it better then j c 2 ...?

Thanks for the informative reply!

I'm surprised it violates their T&Cs to resell as it's a product that's been purchased- wouldn't have asked if I'd have known that. Suppose that's why it's been tricky to find.

Yeah the problem is once redeemed you aren't reselling a product, it's an account, all of the systems I've seen with pre-installed games are sold on the basis of keeping the old account on them. Lose access to that, lose access to all the pre-installed games. It's fine, if say you're buying it from a friend you trust and they are switching systems etc. I just don't trust people on the internet

Great points.

I've had enough mistakes on eBay in the past so safest just to give it a miss. Pity.

Holysh!t I thought JC3 was out only couple of months ago oO

And yet still no sign of Knack or KZ Shadowfall :grin:

Just a heads up, the season pass for JC3 is on sale at the moment. I haven't played them myself yet but I bought them last night, £7.99 for 3 DLC's isn't too bad. From what I hear there isn't a huge amount of content but the unlocks carry over to the main game and are a lot of fun (like the mech suit and the rocket powered wingsuit)
Like I say I haven't tried it out yet though so someone else can probably give more information on whether they're worth it or not.

I really enjoyed JC3 personally, I didn't notice any issues when I played it through. Yes it can get a bit repetitive but that's true for a lot of games, and at least this is one that's just fun to mess around in, flying around and blowing stuff up.

Thanks for the help!

Think it's been £8 before on PSN and that's the cheapest it's been. Even for £9 I'd recommend it. It's an excellent game. Play it before u play freedom cry then you'll know who the main character is.

Gonna need a bigger boat...I mean hard disk X)

Can anyone recommend a 1Tb disk for my PS4 ?

Oooooooohhhhh accf I already have but JC3 is mint and will be a welcome addition for my pS4 account sharing buddy....Heat

Ive been using an older version of this since the end of 2014 and couldn't be happier. Id recommend going all the way to 2tb if you're upgrading because if you end up like me - with a sickening digital backlog - you won't have to delete anything again for a long long time.

Look for 2tb mate

anyone know how many missions are in Freedom Cry?

Hmmm...


Seconded (thirded?) - if you're upgrading the internal hard drive, the price differential between 1TB and 2TB drives is small enough that it's definitely worth the greater upgrade.


That's the one that I have installed - yep, it's ideal.

Is the Argos deal the other day a good one? Seagate Expansion 4TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive - £99.99 Argos...

hotukdeals.com/dea…Hot

If you're happy using it as an external drive, by all means, but it won't fit internally (the largest capacity for the laptop-size drives that the PS4 accepts is currently 2TB).

2TB quickly fills up but good to know this. I have a 4TB external drive for my Xbox but been thinking about one for my PS4. I guess it depends if you don't mind deleting games when they are not being used, or like me you want then all in your library ready to play.

I'd disagree, to be honest - I find 2TB to be ample. There's no need to have absolutely every game installed all the time!

That would be the sensible thing to do! Something I need to work on :grin:

Damn Sony, 2 good months then a PS+ price hike. I see what you did there.

That's some increase they've just made. I do have nearly 2 years stacked, any limit on the amount you can grab like this?

We all knew the increase in price was coming. They should have been sensible and increased the price, but included PS Now in the sub. That would have been a game changer, rather than a p take after two improved months...

Codes will be hovering around £40 from places like CD Keys when it changes hopefully.

heatttttttt. however i am annoyed with sony. they have confirmed cost of psplus will increase from end of august to £50. RIDICULOUS.

I have just under a year remaining. I'll worry about it nearer the expiry and then weigh up the options. If I don't like them I won't renew. I used to feel in-prisoned by PS+ because of the built up game library but I don't get round to playing most of those, a lot are rubbish and the only other reason to have PS+ is online play and other than Rocket League I mostly play single player or couch co-op. Nintendo Switch is looking even more appealing.

To everyone saying Just Cause 3 performance is terrible, just disconnect your PS4 from the internet before you load up the game, this stops the constant connection to the pointless leaderboard.......sounds silly but it really does help push the fps back up. Of course the fps still drops a little with lots of explosions going on but it's still a noticeable improvement.

I would advise people to check their auto-renew subscription settings. I actively turned auto-renew OFF earlier this year - 100% definite, no question - I just checked my PSN account and found Sony have turned it back to ON???? What the...???

Yeesh, you must have a serious library my friend. I have just over 150 in my library (and ashamed to have a backlog of nearly a half of that) and have probably 100 of those games installed with around 300gb free. I can afford to delete a fair few stinkers before I'm feeling tight on space too, so I'd maintain that a 2tb internal upgrade is worthwhile. External storage will always be more cost effective though...

Don't understand how this is hot with a sloppy poor-running port of a mediocre game and middling standalone DLC on offer. Downwell is good but £1.50 on Steam sale good. Ridiculous people will be paying £6.99 a month for these kind of rentals in a couple of months time.

Also, just remove any credit card they could charge if something like this happens.

Voted cold, as it is now clear that the motivations behind Sony giving away a few more "better quality" games these past few months was because they were planning a price hike and have to keep you enticed to keep your subscription.

100 percent agree, I have not purchased or added anything to mine since I last renewed and cancelled auto renew yet I checked yesterday when my subscription ends and my daughter noticed it was on, not impressed!

Why is this so hot?
Assassins Creed "Freedom Cry" (Black Flag) came with my PS4 at launch ffs.

They giving decent games just before the PS+ price hike so it will soften the blow and divert peoples attention. But rest assured, you will receive good old indie games again in a couple months time :grin:

Freedom Cry and Black Flag are different games. Freedom Cry is also not the only game included.


This would not be a bad thing. :wink:

Is it an addon of Black Flag?

It's a standalone game with the same setting.

yes, was in the form of DLC to play additional missions with a pirate called Ade (who features briefly in Black Flag).

When can you download these? I read it was the 1st Tuesday of every month but it's still showing £44.99 for me.

Check back this evening - the store doesn't update at midnight.

PS+ is being increased from £39.99 to £49.99 per year after August 2017! :disappointed:

The last 4-5 months the free games were released on 6th of every month. Not had them on the 1st for over a year.

No, they weren't. It's always the first Tuesday of the month.

No it wouldn't.

Is the land air sea season pass worth getting as it's on sale

Make sure you buy Super Motherload on PS3 and then you can get it on PS4 free also. The crossbuy hasn't been overly publicised.

Need better games from now on seeing as ps plus has increased to £50 a year

indies indies indies indies indies indies :neutral_face:
until dawn :fearful:‌ :astonished:
just cause 3 :smile:
... PS+ now £50 :angry:

Yes! Its only £7.99 I think an you will get your money out of it. JC3 is a very fun game to play and I enjoy every moment of it.

Yeah the frame rate isn't the best but who gives a toss. Don't like the frame rate then buy a pc for better performance!

Notably, after redeeming the PS4 version, that version doesn't appear to be tied to the PS Plus subscription.

Thanks

As i said,

You are getting performance issues. The game is a mess on consoles. The low power CPU literally can't handle the game properly.

The key thing here is that you either aren't noticing the issues or you simply don't care about them (i.e. you're having too much fun with the damn game to give af :relaxed: ).

You completely miss the point.

No game in this day and age should be dropping below 30fps.

This is the very reason the PC elitists refer to people like you as console peasants. You just accept what you're given and the big companies earning £££££££ continue to be lazy and not give a toss.

LOL console peasants. You do make me laugh!

We don't accept what we are given, sometimes it's better than nothing at all. Unfortunately we live in a society that people can't afford high end pcs to become a elitist idiot.

I'm sure there's many a folk who would love to be able to spend £££ on a cpu,graphics card,ram an a fancy light up mouse. What for to play wow? Player unknown battle grounds? Day z? Arma? League of legends? Yeah there fun to play but I'm not going to spend hundreds of pounds to play a game an then a few months down the road I need more ram or that liquid cooled graphics card.

I agree games today should be running at a higher frame rate but unfortunately there not so people have to deal with it. I can't see Destiny 2 not selling well because it only runs at 30fps on the ps4 pro and xbox one x.

That's something the customer has to deal with an accept an we do. If you don't like it then maybe the best thing todo is make a post in misc an have a rant there with your fellow elitist members.

I'd rather have black flags instead of that "standalone dlc" but whatever.

Raaaaght on!!

I have a PS4 Pro and so far haven't seen any visible slow down on JC3, I'm about 2 -3 hours in and have seen some epic explosions too! I know the boost mode helps but I've still heard people complaining about FPS with it turned on...

Now Zelda BOTW, that does have some serious frame rate issues!!

I`m calling Knack on PS+ for the Month before Knack 2 is released.

just cause 3 is a buggy joke

Did anyone else notice that at the same time as raising the PSPlus price to £50 a month, Sony is also making the largest company profits they've ever made in history??? I can't understand how they can justify this global price increase - people seriously have no choice but to use PSN if they want to use most of their purchased PS4 games. We are basically paying them to 'own' a game and then being forced to pay them whatever they want to effectively rent it every year just to use it - it's actually completely insane.

Just Cause made me feel motion sick for the first time ever in games ! The frame rate while driving is awful

But but I got battlefield 1 on ea access hmmmm wait Sony said it wasn't good value for costumers hahahahahahaha

Great deal :sunglasses:   Thanks OP
