So hyped for Bloodborne and Ratchet and Clank.

 

I saw this within the PS+ announcements though and thought it would be something to include in the first post

 

" Starting next year on March 8, 2019, the PS Plus monthly games lineup will focus on PS4 titles and no longer include PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita titles."

I AM SOOOO DONE!! 

 

R&C is free lol..

If they stop giving free ps3 & psvita games,will they reduce ps+ price or add more ps4 games? 

 

I'm hoping at least for a temporary add to the PS4 games. I mean, the PSVita offerings have mostly been an excuse to give more PS4 offerings, anyway.

 

Anyway, I've never played a Ratchet and Clank title, so this is pretty exciting!

I was going to ask why temporary, but then i thought that SONY will replace ps3/vita games with ps5 games

I would love for it to be permanent, but this is Sony, after all. They're at their best when they're reducing things, not increasing them.

Hell yeah! I really wanted to return to Bloodborn as well to give a try to Ratchet and Clank :D! I'm really happy with the lineup for March. By the way does anyone know if the Bloodborn will come along with the DLC?

[pieroV_86]

Bloodborne? nice one! but i heard that it's a very difficult game like Soul's game (haven't played any games like this yet), how hard the platinum will be? ?

[SaintRaphael_IV]

wow very impressive... bravo sony!

[Caesar Clown]

This is going to be like when Xbox Gold had Dark Souls. A bunch of people just cried and said they wouldn't play it even though it was free because it was "too hard". Nice lineup though except for Mighty No. 9.

No way. PS+ offerings are meant to get you buying DLC.

 

That being said, the DLC has been on sale a bunch of times, so if you wait, it will probably be on sale again.

[Deluziion90]

celebrations for a lower platinum percentage on bloodborne ?

 

but from the inside I'm crying as I dont get a nice free game (got both platinum already?)

 

but fuck yeah gogo anti trophy hunting noobs, lower that platinum rarity hehehe

I'm even happy about that one. I've heard it's not great, but it works, so it's a decent free title (and a stellar one for the PS3 offering). 

[sephiroth4424]

Bloodborne's platinum rarity is 23.89%. I wonder how much it will fall now

Happy for those who haven't played Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank.

 

I had a great time playing Ratchet & Clank.

 

I've had Bloodborne in my backlog and haven't gotten around to playing it just yet. I will soon though.

Wow a decent month for a change. 

 

The IGC won't be worth it come March 2019. This is probably the reason we got a good month for March to soften the blow.

Fantastic month!

...if only I did not own 4/6 of the games lmao

 

Lmao same, but it's nice that others who don't have these games get to play them.

 

 

[DysectorZA]

Fantasic line up. Great month.

 

Never played Bloodborne (or any Souls game) and curious to try it out.

 

Bought R&C last year sometime on sale. I must resist from buy games on sale since the last few months of PS+ have been very good with at least one of the games I bought while on sale.

 

Was also hoping that they throw in another PSVR or PlayLink title this month.

 

Glad to hear that they are finally letting go of the PS3 and Vita games. I'm sure they have exhausted the PS3 library by now.

 

What do you think they will do in place? Still release only 2 PS4 games per month? Or expand to 3 or 4 PS4 games, or add some PSVR games as well?

Hehehehe thanks for clarifying it for me ;)! Definitely gonna be on a look out after the DLC from now on :D! But then again with or without it I'll still have fun and who knows maybe I'll get to play it this time with a friend or two

If it's any motivation, the DLC for that game is quite good (and I am pretty harsh on my evaluation of DLC).

If I had to guess, it will rest around 15-16% when this offering comes and goes.

Great month for PS4 owners, but I already own Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank. The Vita/PS3 lineup is weak, so nothing for me this month.

 

To me it seems like they made the lineup on PS4 especially good so they could slip in the news about them discontinuing Vita/PS3 PS+ games without as many people noticing. Pretty sneaky of them... I don't particularly care about them dropping the PS3 considering how old it is, but I'm really disappointed about them dropping Vita as well. I mean they usually drop the ball with the Vita lineup, but there was always the chance of them offering something good. Not only is PS+ more expensive these days, but its value is reduced to me now that they're dropping the Vita which I still play on a regular basis. Such bullshit...

[Ringtonwhaledog]

This is good line up as have neither of them and had an eye on Bloodborne for some time

I'm crossing my fingers that they'll use the Vita IGC to reward loyal Vita owners over the next 12 months, to (finally) build some goodwill with that user base...

...

...yeah, that ain't happenin'.
