dmland12 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Looks like a solid 1-2 to me. There's a lot of DLC though. It sort of feels like this month is about getting your foot in the door and then upselling DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felidraziken Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Oh. I have already XCOM from Steam so this month I only adquire Trials. Wait, wasn't Trials the one with the famous urban Legend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I need more BIOSHOCK Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Zombie driver hd is alot of fun. Basically dead nation but you are in a car. Probably won't bother with xcom as I never really liked the first one, not my kinda game at all. No idea on the rest which is a bonus, always good checking out new games.

I mean I know that's kind of a theme for every month in these threads, but XCOM 2 is fucking awesome! You're really missing out if you don't play that. I already own the game physically, but I'm glad others who might not have given the game a chance before can play it now. Trials Fusion is also a great game. I played a couple of the Trials games on Xbox 360 and really enjoyed my time with them. Lots of replayability due to the user-created levels and it's pretty tough to master. I don't own it so I'll give it a download. I'm not really interested in the other games. The Vita offerings are an insult as usual. Well, I will preface this by saying that I have no interest in 100+ hour, 4-5 playthrough games, so I won't be grabbing XCOM2, and Trials and Ghost Recon do not interest me at all. I already have Zombie Driver, and we won't talk about the Vita games. But - and this is why I would say this month is poor - the 3 main games are basically free, but not free. XCOM2 has 3 paid DLC packs, with War of the Chosen current clocking in at $53.49 CDN. When you factor in the other 2 DLCs, you are looking at over $80 for just the DLC - when the XCOM2 complete bundle was on sale less than a month ago for $65. So in actual fact the 'freebie' would cost you more than the bundle was just on sale for (taking out of the equation that it's a dick move to have it on sale just before going free anyway). Trials also has multiple DLC packs, with the bundle price of $30. The all-in, Max Edition version (game plus all DLC) was $12 last week on sale. So maybe the complaints aren't just related to the quality of the games, but the increasingly shitty way Sony goes about this. I guess if you don't care about completion, and just want to treat these as cheap trials for games to play around with for a few hours and forget - then great month. But if you actually intend to get the content and complete it, you might as well just pass on the games entirely and grab the complete editions when they go on sale. Playstation Plus - enjoy your free (not really free) games. Edited May 30, 2018 by diskdocx 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I offered to help you with the one online trophy before but you didn't need it. I love the XCOM series - I have the platinums in Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within. I haven't played XCOM 2 yet, but I've seen a lot of gameplay, and it looks great. An improvement in many ways... super hard, though. Yeah, it's a shame about all the DLC trophies. The main game doesn't even have a platinum for some reason. Well then i guess i forgot because my Memory suck Really? I made that right away with a friend as soon as i got the game Oh it's great, you should play it as soon as possible, lot of improvements for sure even if the loading screen are still too long (Up to 1 or even at worst 3 minutes it's too much) but oh well, you'll enjoy it :3 Oh it's longer than harder honestly. You'll need at least 3 playthoughs and 1 following a specific guide but Per se it's not that difficult Really, so many, it's ubisoft after all i think... Yeah i thought it did but nope, guess because in the beginnign was supposed to be a little 100% game like Urban Trilal Freestyle but then Dlcs came out.

I guess it might make more sense to buy the complete edition of XCOM 2 if you intend on getting all of the DLC, which I imagine is the case for most trophy hunters. I think the biggest issue with that is how there's no bundle that includes all of the DLC without the base game. That's more 2K's fault than Sony's, though. Still, if it gets people to try the game who might not have given it a chance before no matter how many times the complete edition goes on sale, I think it's a positive. For people who don't care about DLC /completion, they're still getting a great, content-rich game. I wouldn't really call it a "trial". The only DLC that adds a substantial amount of content is War of the Chosen. 36 minutes ago, Sora9427 said: Well then i guess i forgot because my Memory suck Really?

I think it was around the time we played Far Cry 4. Right now I'm just waiting for War of the Chosen to go on sale for a decent price and then I'll definitely play it. And yeah, I've heard about the long loading times. It's quite the shame, but these games have never been well-optimised for consoles. Hopefully it doesn't crash as often as Enemy Unknown/Within. Quite honestly, I'm looking forward to the challenge. Now that it's on PS+, the platinum will get even rarer. I guess that was back when Sony were a little more stingy with platinum trophies. Now they just give them to any two-bit developer and their shitty game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only DLC that adds a substantial amount of content is War of the Chosen. Sounds like a problem for trophy hunters. Most people just enjoy a good game, regardless of length to platinum or number of DLCs. I think Just Cause 3 is the first game for which I bought the DLC after it was on PS+, and one playthrough is enough for me most of the times when playing games. Sony isn't the ones choosing which games go on PS+, the developers agree to this. And of course developers whose games have DLC agree to PS+ more because of the added revenue from DLC. Just buying the DLC pack should normally still cost less than buying the game plus DLC. The devs are also the ones deciding if they want to put their game on a sale, by the way. XCOM2 is actually on a sale right now on the EU store. Personally, I'd choose a long good game with optionally more content as DLC over a short easy platinum in a mediocre game any time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not something that exclusively affects trophy hunters, though. Trophies aren't the only reason why someone might want to own DLC. Not having a way for owners of the base game to get all of the DLC cheaper than just buying the complete edition is a problem no matter how you look at it.

Gladiator995 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Needed to pick-up XCOM 2 for the DLC trophies then I see the expansion costs £35. No thank you ? Also as one of the only Platinum owners for XCOM, all I can say is good luck with Ironman. Edited May 30, 2018 by Gladiator995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it's the case with XCOM2, which seems weird that a game with this much DLC doesn't have a DLC collection pack. Usually getting just the DLC is cheaper, I think. Don't know many other exceptions. P.S. even when game+DLC is cheaper than DLC, you can still see it as getting a full game, which you can completely play and only afterwards you have to decide if you want to buy the DLC as well, which you then can do through the complete collection.
