The PS4's PS+ is certainly a tad disappointing, but what do you expect? The console only came out a few month ago, there really aren't many viable choices to give away.

It's better than nothing at least.


In terms of indies which sony suppose to have  tonnes right? It won't be that hard to pick and indie game thast better then mercenery king. I would have glady accepted a free indie horror game similar to outlast which was fun to play

They have a lot of indies, but not an endless supply. When you also consider those currently willing to be a part of PS+, it most probably decreases.

Sometimes they have good months, and sometimes they can't find anything suitable in time. As the number of games they have to choose from increases, the potential for what you get does as well. I personally quite like MK, so i have no problem with the choice.

Regardless, as i said it's better than nothing. There is little sense in criticizing Sony for this when their competitors aren't doing anything at all. It's like getting annoyed at someone for running a race too slowly, while the other too are having a chat at the starting line :P It's pointless.

Shit like this over a free game?! Keep crying please.

First world problems........



 

This is the 2nd best game on PS4 PS+ so far (resogun being the best). Certainly way better than Outlast. It's pretty great, your loss TC.

"Gamers" who complain about graphics SMH.

Gamers are probably the worst fanbase in the world. You can't do anything without some subsection being up-in-arms about how terrible of a decision it was and how they're now hating/boycotting the relevant company.

Some 2D games ARE BETTER than many AAA games with flashy graphics. There are people that love games because of GAMEPLAY. There are people that LOVE to make games, but they don't have the $200MILLION required to make a AAA game. There are people that are BRILLIANT at game design but much prefer making a game by themselves than being an insignificant cog in a giant dev studio.

You need to stop complaining. You have no idea how much hard work it is to make a game - even if it is 2D. You're getting a free game that's very popular and all you can do is complain about the lack of graphics.

I wish gamers would collectively shun this nonsense to the outskirts of the online community.

This to me is worse than fanboyism, because the people who are making these indie games are living their dream - making videogames for the love of it. And you just sit there in front of your console - not knowing jack shit about anything regarding game development - and complain about the lack of technological advancement in the software.

Once again - SMH at you.

I understand that we won't be getting Killzone or AC 4 but this Mercenary Kings is really pathetic and a really poor choice for a free PS4 game. I'm also pretty annoyed by the fact that nowadays it seems like everything with pixels gets a pass for crappy visuals and dated gameplay because it's retro.

Oh and I won't stop paying, I'm a PS+ member since the beginning in 2010 and for most of the time I'm very happy with the service.

You've been on the service since 2010 and this game is the first crappy one you've got so far?

You must have a very broad taste then.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It has an 82 on Metacritic, thats higher than infamous or Killzone, i understand its not everyones cup of tea, but its not some totally shit game.

Its for free the day it launched on console and it has a very good meta score, i think it was a good choice, considering they have a limited selection of things to chose from in the first place, would you of prefered Knack, which is rated shit just because its prettier?


well i hope may free psn plus game is daylight since its releasing towards the end of april. Wheres octodad?  Well sony ps4 is currently an indiestation so it can't be hard to pick a better game then mercenery king right?

Well tell us out of the ones released so far which you would of picked.

I think they confirmed before PS4 launched that octodad would be on plus didnt they, whenebver it launches, i could be wrong thos its along time ago.


The ones that we have gotten for free,, i would have picked Outlast as my favourite of the bunch ,, followed by contrast and Dead nation as a fun coop local multiplayer and to kill time when you bored of yoru ps4 i would have picked resogun. In terms of other indie games,, theres daylight(soon to be released), stealth inc, steamworld dig looks fun, minecraft would be awesome if they gave away it as a free game. Plus there other older indie games that have been out on pc for ages.. Surely sony could have gotten them to jump on the ps4 train right?  I think you are right but i am not to sure myself. 


OK but your listing games that arent even out so they cant give them away, or games like stealth inc and steam world dig that have lower meta scores and are still pixel art games and also games that have been on other consoles or already even discounted on other PS platforms.

I think mercenary kings as a console exlcusive title at launch with the higher meta score was the correct choice this month.



I agree, fuck indie games, nothing good has ever come from them. I was expecting at least Fifa 14 this month.

Unsubscribe from PS+ if you don't like the games they are offering. It really is that simple.

I for one love the fact that we're getting anything at all in these early days of the console. I don't have this ridiculous expectation that Sony will give out every AAA game as soon as they are out. I used to be a great fan of old school Metal Slug, and I'll enjoy the heck out of MK.
