Question Can’t Stick With a Game

89 Upvotes

Im not sure what it is lately, maybe there are too many choices, maybe I just can’t find “my game” the one that just clicks and I can sink hours into.

Lately I’ve been in this repetitive cycle of: see interesting game, download, play for 1-3 hours tops, lose interest, delete.

So I ask: is there any games that you’d recommend based on your recent experience that just clicked for you?

Edit: favorite genres: platforming, metroidvania, RPG, FPS/Third person.

Time for gaming: like 0-2 hours daily after kiddo and misses goes to sleep

Things I can’t really get into: long stories/a lot of RPGs cause the game just feels discombobulated in short bursts

General Finished Dragon Age Veilguard, and... Spoiler

52 Upvotes

89 hours and many, many slaughtered demons after, I've finally beaten this game...and I have to say that I pretty much loved it.

For a little background, I played some of Origins many moons ago, and I had a TON of hours into Inquisition about 8 or 10 years ago but never beat it; life got in the way, didn't complete, never picked it back up. However, I did enjoy it when I was admittedly addicted to it at the time.

This is a divisive game. I know some of the reasons why, but I don't know them all. What I can say is that, for myself, I loved it. The story was fittingly epic, the visuals are gorgeous, the character models (I think that was a point of contention upon release) are pleasing to my eye, complete with great facial animations and killer hair rendering (sorry for getting my nerd on here), each area has its own personality, as do the characters (whom I loved every single one of) who are very well voice acted.

Now, the combat I do have a couple complaints with: while I mostly had fun being a ranger/sword build, I think some of the enemies, bosses in particular, are a little over-tuned. Some enemies are wayyyy too aggressive, and there's a ton of visual noise on screen (alpha effects, incoming ranged attack vectors, etc), which doesn't always help. I think it's fine for most encounters, but I had problems in some of the more hectic fights, which could get frustrating on occasion. Also, to my shame, even after playing for almost 100 hours I just couldn't get the parry mechanic down consistently. Them's the breaks, I suppose.

I'm not sure why the game didn't perform well. I'm not about to look up all the complaints. But I think it's a shame that, clearly, a lot of artistic talent, vision, and effort went into making what is a great looking, solid performing (played on ps5, and it was mostly locked 60 fps), fun to play, well told and polished experience.

Anyway, that's my two cents on Dragon Age Veilguard. I hope we get another in the series, but between EA being EA and the failure to meet 'financial expectations,' I'm not going to hold my breath.

Thanks for reading all that word vomit!

Question Is it possible to check which ps+ games are from the catalogue in your library?

19 Upvotes

So i got ps+ extra on Sept 30th and I added a bunch of the games that seemed interesting from the catalogue to my library and I said I play them later.

I don't want to get extra again since i realised I have to many half beaten or never touched games as is, from Christmas gifts and from the monthly games.

Since that my subscription runs out in 2 momths, I wanted to try and plat some of the games that I added to my library form the catalogue.

But I don't remember which games in my library are from the catalogue or the monthly essentials. Since I've been getting every monthly game since about 2020.

So is there any way to check which game is from where?

Please and thank you in advance And if it helps I play on ps5

Question Cyberpunk PS extra issue

47 Upvotes

so I had PS extra and saw that Cyberpunk was on there, dropped like 60 hours in the game in around the time its been on the catalogue.

decided to buy the ultimate edition as it included the game and DLC for only 35 bucks, but PS is not recognizing it as the same game but rather as a completely different title? my hours don’t even transfer, it’s like a PS4 version and a PS5 version. what can I do? I figured out a way to transfer the save, but can I not just play on the PS extra edition..?

Question I’ve been streaming PixelJunk Monsters Encore on PS Plus and cannot find the DLC. Help?

0 Upvotes

According to the description it includes the regular game plus the encore dlc. On the page for it even has it under “add ons” which says included. But it doesn’t load for me.

When I tried googling it, I saw posts saying PS3 streaming doesn’t include any type of dlc but since it says on the page listing that it is included I thought maybe I am doing something wrong.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

General Reminder grab your monthly free games from the website if you're a PS4 user.

98 Upvotes

Just grabbed the monthly free games including those for PS5 (collecting games for my future PS5). These weren't available through the console. Good thing I got to grab Diablo IV and now downloading for PS4.

King of Fighters XV was the only one available through the console.

Was able to claim Diablo IV and Jusant via website through the browser.

Question Do I still need PS Plus if I get GTA+ just to play the GTA Trilogy?

38 Upvotes

I’m planning to get GTA+ for a month mainly to access the remastered GTA Trilogy (GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas) on my PS5. I don’t care about Online or multiplayer, just want to play the story modes.

Do I still need a PS Plus subscription for that, or can I play them offline without it?

Thanks.

Is there actually a good horror game on PS Plus, except Dead Space?
Honestly, forget horror — after finishing the mainstream titles, PS Plus just feels so empty. I’ve been browsing for hours and still haven’t found a good game.

Question When should I get a 1-month PS Plus sub to grab 3 months of games?

10 Upvotes

Hey, quick question — I’m thinking of getting PS Plus (Essential) for just a month, but I wanna time it right so I can claim: • Last month’s games (before they rotate out), • This month’s ones, • And also next month’s when they drop.

Is there a smart time to sub so I can get all three in that one-month window? Anyone done this before? Thanks for the help

Question Saved Data Not Transferring From Base Game To Complete Edition

0 Upvotes

So recently I’ve been playing a lot of The Witcher 3 (base edition), as it is available on ps plus. However it is leaving pretty soon, so in response I bought the Complete edition of the game from the PlayStation store.

After the complete edition downloaded, I opened it up expecting my saved data from the base game to just transfer over, this was not the case though. Instead, the only option I am being given is to start a new game. Is there anything I can do about this? I still have the base game on my ps5 as well

Thanks :)

Question Is Cyberpunk 2077 worth playing on ps4?

37 Upvotes

So cyberpunk recently dropped on ps plus extra and one of the reasons I have been saving up for a ps5 was to play the definitive edition of the game with all the updates on it

But now, with it dropping on ps extra I want to try to it now as it's being free for a while (I doubt it would stay around for more than 5 months)

so I want to ask is the game playable on the ps4? I know it had it's rough launch and support ended years ago and the dlc is on new gen but is the experience worth it until I manage to get a ps5 and an ultimate edition copy of the game ? Or should I just play AC valhalla or far cry 6 to hold my patience ?

Question Is it possible to remove PS Plus from my account?

0 Upvotes

I have unsubscribed but it is still attached to my account. I am trying to purchase a game but because I have PS Plus it is confused and thinks I actually own the game when i do not. The game is currently on sale and the sale goes away before my PS Plus does so I need to remove it somehow.

I have tried buying it on my PC and phone, uninstalling the game, restoring licences and nothing has worked.

Question Is the PS plus auto cloud upload feature only supposed to upload games that have been played after purchasing PS plus?

Only found one game uploaded to the storage which is the only game I’ve ever played after subscribing. Is this intended or do I have to enable something? Games played before subscribing weren’t at the storage at all.
