Forums - Sony - Mercenary Kings...really?

I don't think Mercenary Kings is a great game either but if anyone wants more value with PS Plus there is an easy solution: Buy more Playstation systems!

PS Plus is great loyal customer service, the more systems you own the more free games you get. I own a Ps3, Ps4 and a Vita meaning i get 5-6 free games every month. And the longer you are a Plus member the more the bigger your instant games collection gets. By the time i bought a Vita i already collected about 10 full games i could play for free.

Yup. Having all the Sony systems means an easy 5 or more games per month, at least one or two of which you're bound to enjoy.

lookin past graphics, the game is a mess..

you cant shoot diagonal, for some reason stepping on a tiny rabbit does about the same damage as a guy running into you with a spear. i got to 1 point where i had to climb a ladder to a higher level, but when i got to the top, it wouldnt let me look above the ladder onto the floor i was travelling. the only way was to finish climbing and get onto that level. Thing is they had an enemy above it. so my only option is to randomly guess and pray i dont get hit. not long later i come to a tunnel that i need to roll through (because apparently moving while crawling is to much for this game to handle...). now here is the fun part, one of those hovering robots moved to the other side in a location that the game wont let you shoot. because of the objective i had to get to the other side. the ONLY option i had was to roll and take damage, which led to me dieing.

also i went into the very first mission, and destroyed the first crate i found, which was pretty much in the place you start.. and i got an inventory is full message.



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

Honestly the PS4 PS plus is one of the main reasons I have not bought a PS4 yet.

You can hold R2 to move the camera and see what you have ahead you... you can free move the camera.



People are talking about PS+ like it just give you bad games but that's not the case at all.

Resogun 9/10
Contrast 7/10
Don't Starve 8/10
Outast 8/10
Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition 8.5/10
Mercenary Kings 8/10

For now the Plus give you better lineup than the launch exclusive lineup for PS4 or Xbone.

i know you can, it still wouldnt let me look higher then the top of the ladder.  i stayed near the top and played with every button on the controller and non would let me look any higher.    as soon as you climb the ladder, the whole screen moves up with the bottom  behing where the old top limit was.  this would be fine and a throw back to the old days,  but putting an enemy above it kinda makes it stupid.

I've sold a lot of friends on ps+. I say you get 24 ps3 games every year for $50 a year and if you have a vita or ps4 it's 12-24 more. That is usually all it takes. I see plus as a big flash sale, and then you get other flash sales on top of that, it's really an amazing service. I don't enjoy every game but considering I'm getting games I'd like to play but probably wouldn't purchase at their normal price, I'd say it's worth a couple missed months.

I like MK. Every time I play it I'm taken back to days of contra, bionic commando and metal slug. It's not tomb raider or batman:ac but as others have said, it's kind of naive to think large AAA games would be offered up so early in the console life and not every dev/pub will want to have their game "given" away. Sony has to pay for each game. I full expect the first year of ps4 ps+ to be only indie games with a range of quality. Knack will likely be the first and only retail game offered year one.

Also plus really is a loyalty service as Anthony said. I have ps3/vita/ps4. $50 for 45+ (60 but won't like everything) games. Not even a decision. I wish Nintendo and MS had something similar. I'd love to have more games for my wiiu and would make my eventual xb1 purchase even better.



ironic how PS+ games get less appealing the better PS4 sells.

Meanwhile PS3 gets Arkham City for PS+. See a pattern?

(yes I am aware X1 doesn't have a program....yet. But that would be just deflecting the issue at hand wouldn't it?)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

The OP is right. How dare Sony not give us Infamous or at least Killzone and Knack with ps+ ? I mean we are paying an impressive amount of money every year and we only get like what? 8 titles for three different devices every month and the ability the play online? They must be making tons of money from this service that clearly costs them nothing. Screw Sony and screw the reviewers saying that Mercenary Kings is a good game.



Ps3 and psvita didn't have psplus for months/years. Having ps+ for ps4 from the beginning is a bonus. It's completely unrealistic to expect new games considering how long it's been on the market. Simple as that. I like graphics too, but I don't expect Sony to bleed money to give me huge games for free. ps+ is already one of the best services I've ever used. The amount of money I've saved on games I actually wanted to play is insane.
