xerazal, do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Whelp, I was keeping the sub purely because the games they give you monthly and so my ex could still play online, but nvm. Gonna cancel because it’s not worth the cost. The games they give out monthly are usually mid and the online services haven’t improved since the PS3 days when it was free.

Still don’t have a PS5, and definitely not getting one now. Fuck off, Sony.

Well, that's another reason to consider completely switching over to gaming on PC. The free games are nice, but the quality always varies month to month and I really have to wonder if it's worth it to stay subscribed.

They’re not free.

PenguinTD, do gaming w "Tren" Sends Media Molecule's Dreams Out in Style

This would be a game that can survive really well if it was ported to PC and supports user server.(to host their collection of dream projects.) Instead, it probably not gonna last for very long following similar treatment to PS3’s little big planet when player count taper out.

Limeaide,

I really wish it was ported to PC. It looks like a lot of fun

PenguinTD,

It’s really good prototyping tool as well for people wants to dip in to game dev. It’s more complex compare to say Mario Maker, but less overwhelming compare to using unity/unreal engine. And you already have all sorts of project asset template you can copy from.

I’d imaging some future gamedev actually started by making dream projects.

gk99,

I think Dreams would also have done much better with a major underlying game instead of advertising itself as effectively a game engine you can’t profit from. LBP, Mario Maker, Halo, Far Cry, and others have an appeal to them because they’re complete titles that people enjoy, but have level editors (or are the level editor in the case of Mario) that allow players to easily express their creativity given the rules and assets of these games. I haven’t ever launched Dreams, but I’m over the moon waiting for Restitched. Brings me back to the days of waiting for my LBP pre-order to release.

PenguinTD,

Dream does have those (pretty extensive) tutorial and “from MM” levels but they are not a bundle experience like LBP.

God I hate Take Two.

considering that Sony doesn’t offer PS+ Day 1 Launches, unlike Xbox

They don’t offer them as often as on Game Pass, but there are some day 1 launches on Extra.

As with most subscription models, the value proposition will probably decrease as we move forward (one only has to glance at streaming services to see what awaits us in the gaming space imo…). Bummer, but expected.

Sharpiemarker,

I share your sentiment. I previously owned an Xbox 360 but had been in the Sony camp for the past decade. For a few months I had a gamepass subscription without an Xbox console and I’m currently a PS+ premium member. The fact that you get day 1 access to first-party titles from Microsoft AND they have a gamepass streaming app on Android and PC is huge. I may have to reconsider the value proposition of my Sony services.

By comparison Nintendo charges 24.99 a year (In Canada) Its a much simpler service but you also get access to some of their old catalogue online.

Or even cheaper just use Steam.

DeathWearsANecktie, do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Hahaha fuck. I could never go back to console.

BruceTwarzen,

I keep forgetting that stuff ain't free

JokeDeity, do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Jesus I’m so glad I haven’t bought a console since the N64. Console players just get non-stop reamed.

kratoz29,

Well, to be fair the N64 didn’t have any online capabilities, but I get your point.

Yeah, i’m gonna axe my PS Plus account. It ain’t worth it. PS5 has no games.

Apeeksiht, do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Ah yes sell these consoles at discount in one month raise the subscription plans next month. Win-win

This price hike is absurd - fortunately the only game I play online (Warframe) is implementing cross-save soon, so I’ll be able to move away from Playstation and stop renewing Plus - 80 dollars for online pay and cloud saves is robbery, how greedy can you get?!

Cethin,

Wait, console players still have to pay to play online? Wtf? How have people kept purchasing these things?

HawlSera,

A lot of people fear that you have to be a tech geek with deep pockets to play anything other than minesweeper.

Not true but this fear sells Xboxes

kboy101222,

I don’t think you have to pay for plus for warframe. I used to play in PlayStation and I haven’t had plus since I got 3 free months with my PlayStation

doctortofu,
@doctortofu@reddthat.com avatar

Even better - I can just let it lapse then and still play using my preferred controller - thanks for letting me know!

Cethin,

PSA: You can use literally any controller you want on PC.

kboy101222,

As the other guy said - any controller works on PC (I’d recommend wired though cause the vast majority of Bluetooth drivers suck on PC)
