Forums - Sony - PlayStation Plus guessing game

Hopefully the fighting game is Dead or Alive 5 or Tekken Tag 2. The games the US get are commonly older than dirt and/or not very good in comparison to the Europe offerings.

Here's how PS+ usually works out. Europe gets games for free. The same games Europe got the US gets discounted by 10-25%. Europe gets Red Dead Redemption, Arkham City, Sleeping Dogs, Dead or Alive 5 MGS HD Collection Vita,, etc. Aside from the last three, every other one is fairly old and around $20, but the difference is these are good games. What does the US get. NFL Blitz, NBA Jam, Foosball, 37 different fighting games, Bioshock 2(which was $9.99 new for the longest time.) Real quality for the US PS+ for sure.

It's like the US PSN is trying to give us the worst possible offerings they can without crossing the line.  Push us as far as they can to where we'll still renew our subscriptions because not everythinig is horrendously bad.  Just most of what we get.

yeah some US blog posters have been livid for the past couple of months...the US has been givin basically crap for the past couple of months compared to  EU



See. This is what I mean when I say they try to push hard enough just to where they don't cross the line. Spec Ops the Line is fairly new, but it's been $20 and hasn't sold well. Despite that I hear it was actually a really good game. To me, I'd rather have Spec Ops the Line than Mass Effect 3 because I didn't like the demo of Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3(that's all I've played of it though.)

Then everything else is downhill from there. In comparison to Europe's Dead or Alive 5 for PS3 and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for Vita, we get Tekken 6 for PSP and Disgaea 3 for Vita. Disgaea 3 might be fine for some people so that's "eh, it's okay," but Tekken 6? Not only is it a PSP game, but as I stated above, it's bottom of the barrel trash compared to the fighting game that Europe received. If the US PSN wanted to keep it fairly even, they would have gave us Tekken Tag Tournament 2 instead which can do everything Tekken 6 on PSP can do as well as online and tag matches, plus the largest roster in any Tekken game.  The fact that Tekken 6 is three and a half years old compared to Dead or Alive 5 being less than six months old is an even  bigger slap in the face.

Puddle and The Cave.  They're okay to have but they're already cheap games.  Puddle and The Cave are going to be $5 or less by the end of the year on Steam.  Either Steam, Green Man Gaming, or somewhere else that you can get a Steam discount.  Hell.  Those games might even be offered on one of the next Humble Indie Bundles, so potentially $1 for both and then some if you wanted to be as cheap as possible.

US users are getting screwed left and right. The PS+ we get is only good enough to keep us on board, but nothing compared to what Europe is getting every month.



Both Europe and US got a Vita game. MGS HD Collection and Disgaea 3. I'd see if they gave Europe a PSP game as well, but they didn't. They gave Europe a high quality PS3 game that was released less than six months ago when we got a PSP game that was released more than three years ago. Three and a half years. With the amount of PSP games that are available, they could have given us a much better game, but they went for one of the worst possible choices which is probably the one that cost them by far the least amount of money.

And following your mention of Dead or Alive 5 being a fighter and that we've got a lot of fighting games in recent memory.  They gave us a PSP release that's ad hoc only.  An older than dirt ad hoc only PSP fighting game.  People are going to get bored of that game in less than a couple of hours.  Atleast with the PS3 version, if they can't play against a friend at home, then they can play with people online.  Fighting games are one of the most unenjoyable genres when you're playing single player.

I completely agree. This was why I was "complaining" it's bullshit. I'm already kinda regretting extending my Plus subscription until September 2014. I certainly have awhile but if Sony doesn't give RDR, Dues Ex, Sleeping Dogs, DOA5, etc like Europe has had in the year and a half I have left I'm done. No way in hell I'm renewing if this keeps up and if we never get the games EU gets but I'll wait it out.

I feel your pain but yet I understand the "politics" of Sony keeping their major market happy.

I think waiting it out will bear fruit.
