There are a couple things that bother me about the service:
1. It's annoying to have to go in and claim the free games each month.
2. It's annoying that I have to manually cancel my membership (i.e., they don't make it easy to buy a month service without having to go in and cancel it for future months)

With that out of the way, their service is pretty good, and I get to play a lot of games that I wouldn't have played otherwise. Because of PS Plus, I re-discovered Heavy Rain, which I hadn't finished when I first played it. I enjoyed it much more this time around, and even went ahead and got Beyond Two Souls and finished that one as well, all leading up to Detroit.

Most months the games don't interest me, but on occasion something great comes along.

This year is probably THE best PS+ year since the launch of the PS4, a lot of AAA games and good smaller games.

And with the platform aging I expect 2019 and 2020 to be even better. 



very garbage for a few months but overall nice 8/10 so B-



Straight to the A.

very strange to just list the ps4 titles on here, but most months a couple of if not all of the games for ps3 and vita were cross buy with the ps4, there was a couple of months this year where I added 5-6 games to my PS4 library.

Honestly though, it costs about 50e for a year and you get about 70 games during that period, it's cheaper than a euro a game and you get titles like God of War 3 remastered, Destiny 2 and some others which cost that much individually when they were new, the service can't be beat in terms of the games it offers, but... next year I think is it march it's dropping support for some systems, think the Vita at least, possibly also the ps3 so we'll have to see what it's value is like moving forwards, that said.... I think I have a sub until nearly 2020 thanks to deals and offers on the service.

Never play online games... and rarely play on my ps4 at all, still though, love having a ton of new games on it when I do boot up the machine.

 

edit - even in Nov the games Burly Men at Sea and Roundabout were both cross buy from other systems onto the PS4, so it wasn't 2 titles but 4 in November.

Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I was a great year, and by reading this list i just realized that i bought 5 of those games and only play one of them... Damn i late to the party... Like year long late...



Proudest Platinums - BF: Bad Company, Killzone 2 , Battlefield 3 and GTA4

Yeah, that's a pretty awesome line up. Even harshest critics of paying for online would be hard to argue with the value there. The offerings typically do get better as the generation goes on. Another 2 years of this to go.



Definitely an A. As a person that buys very few games, PS Plus only adds good games to my collection, and the games that I do buy are rarely added to PS Plus.

Highlights:
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Knack
Grand Kingdom
Bloodborne
Ratchet & Clank
Beyond: Two Souls
Yakuza Kiwami
Bulletstorm

And I bought Digimon Story cyber Sleuth, and Metro Last Light on sale.



Wait what? Thats a phenomenal lineup!

I was always under the impression that games were ass, due to the constant whining I see about the games not being good.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
