it wasnt. 

Possibly just a case of "grass is always greener"? When you consider the yearly cost of psn+ or GWG they're both a great way to add to your collection of digital games that you might not have otherwise bought and played, there is obviously some outstandingly good titles now and then but when you consider that Sony have somewhere in the region of 70cent per game they can offer on the service it shouldn't really be that shocking that there isn't 72 AAA titles per year.

its 1 aaa game in 3 years? really?
atleast they could bring 4 aaa games every year.
january =Metro march = sherlock holmes; july =tomb raider october = new order
2017 january = rayman march = knack july = killzone october saints row
there are more then 100-200 aaa titles out there and they cant put atleast 1-4 in a year in?
christmas we had gauntlet, that was the biggest dissapointement, they really should bring a game like little big planet 3 or even KNACK on christmas.

So it wasn't. Now I'm curious how I got it without paying for it...

Metro : already given with PS+ on PS3

Sherlock : already given with PS+ on PS3

Tomb Raider : already given with PS+ on PS3 (long time ago)

Rayman : already given with PS+ on PS Vita (OK, that was Origins, not Legend)

Killzone : already given with PS+ on PS Vita (OK, that was Mercenary, not SF)

And when a game is given on PS4 whereas a PS3 version had been given before (Guacamelee), there are gamers disapointed too.

PS Plus as it is currently suits me perfectly and allow me to discover pearls I would have missed otherwise (Helldivers recently). Take it like it is, and not like you want it to be.

@Azuren : hentaihinata is right, that wasn't Child of Light (that's not even a retail game), but I think you're mistaken with Valiant Hearts.

its not the AAA games I'm really expecting but all those stupid 8 and 16 bit games are what i find annoying

Yet you loved the games line up during the ps3 era? From the first year of which https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Instant_Game_Collection_games_%28PAL_region%29

there was

Super Street fighter 2 hd remix

Sonic the hedgehog (the actual megadrive game)

Prince of persia (classic)

Sonic the hedgehog 2 (megadrive)

Streets of Rage (megadrive)

Golden Axe (megadrive)

Comix Zone (megadrive)

Altered Beast (megadrive)

Like... those are actual 16bit games released as monthly psn+ titles, not retro look games made to appear 16bit but actual things like Sonic the Hedgehog one, which is an amazing game, but is also a massive 512kb of videogame, not really AAA+ or retail for 2016 material.

 loved? don't put words in my mouth to try proving a point. plus I previously said I didn't have a ps3 I don't know much about ps+ first year  as at that time I dont even think games with gold existed at that time..I only really started looking or paying attention to the offerings when games with gold started  first 3 or so months....and let me say this again I do not care for AAA games being ps+ material but I would like more diversity offered...(p.s I would take those games you listed over most the trash retro look games i see available)

Fair enough, I do love me some Megadrive games at times, I was just saying the Grass is always greener phrase meaning that while there is always 1 or 2 outstanding looking titles on a service like psn+ or GWG if you have it every month you also have to put up with the few months where they just offer games which aren't to your liking, some of the Retro look stuff can be great tho, if you were lucky enough to pick up Rogue Legacy a few months back I would definitely say to give it a go, one of the best Metroidvania games you're likely to find this generation.

Someone on neogaf made a graph that shows the likes and dislikes the playstation plus videos got on youtube:



Their latest March ps plus video got almost 2K likes and 9K dislikes and is the worst rated ps plus video.
