PS+ May 2020 - Farming Simulator '19 and Cities Skylines

[DysectorZA]

Rubbish month! Two sims? Really! I am not playing either of these games or adding them to my PS Plus library to maybe try one fine day in the future. No thanks, Sony do better please.

[ZeromusF4]

I'll buck the trend here and say im very excited.

 

Cities skylines is fun, played it on pc a while ago when it came out. Never could get a big city cause trash would always pile up.

 

Farming sim is co-op so im excited to dick around it in

Lol what a downgrade! Imagine saying "I'm glad Dark Souls and Dying Light aren't being given away for free, I'd much rather play Farming Simulator and a game with 8 DLCs." You guys have played too many visual novels just for the platinum. ?

 

It's good to know that your taste defines what everyone else should enjoy.

 

I rather play Farming Simulator anyday over Dark Souls or Dying Light.

Should add CITIES: SKYLINES is also on sale atm in the under $20 sale, so why it on PS+ for May?

I'm actually excited for both of these games. Great month for me!

 

I'm not really surprised at your response. If it's not your belief that "Sony have been doing a great job pulling in players for the PS5 by giving users these exclusives/other quality games" (which has always disregarded their age from release, frequent placement in sales, generally cheap default prices prior to IGC distribution, explicit popularity within the gaming industry/copies sold, and more), nor "I have friends or know people that'd be more than happy to have these", then I guess the next obvious thing is the games appealing to you personally. I'd be pleasantly surprised to ever see you critique or find fault in the offerings of these lineups. It just seems provocative when I see a pattern from people who consistently refuse to show or share criticism (or praise) towards something in situations like this.

Can’t wait to die over and over again to angry farmers. They nailed the leaks!

[Ziune]

I'd say the annoying part is that both of these games are available through PS Now

[NetoStyle]

LMAAOOOOOO

 

thank god my suscription expires tomorrow!

You clearly aren't a farmer.  Good money in fertilizer.

Expecting a Dark Souls / Dying Light combo, and eventually getting THIS... Is there any word beyond “disappointed” in English?

 

 

One should really be carefull with the internet and rumors.

Damn, no ''My Little Riding Champion'' *shuffles away sadly*

[ZitMeatloaf]

I kinda wonder if Sony is at least partially responding to Animal Crossing's success with these picks?

 

You can't hope to duplicate that kind of success by just throwing out a couple of simulation games, Sony.

Devastated? I don't know if it matters much to me either way, though. Wasn't too interested in either line-up, and would have just kept playing my backlog.

Yea and I don't know but I'm pretty sure a lot of people got the PSNow deal that was going on till today so it like oi have ways to play them  

[kidson2004]

Also to keep in mind for Cities Skyline:

 

Want that sweet 100%? It'll cost ya $100 for all the DLC's.

[Undead Wolf]

My PS+ subscription ran out last month and I feel no need to renew when I see lineups like this. There was a time when I just had my subscription set to auto-renew, but the value of the service has drastically reduced since then. I can do without playing online multiplayer games for a while.

You can see it as provocative if you want, but that's you choosing to do so.

I really hope this is the reason why. "Our market research shows people are really into farming and landscaping right now for some reason! Guys, I have an idea."

[voodoo_eyes]

I wonder who saw this coming. It's definitely something different, that's for sure. Don't really care for Farming Sim, even though it's supposed to be really chill of an experience. Cities Skylines is a tad more appealing, but isn't it supposed to run like utter arse on consoles?

[kingofbattle8174]

Very surprised to see of the same genre in one month. I guess people have alot of time on thier hands so give them something that will take some time as these sim games do. I will put them on the backlog, but already have two point hospital started so may be awhile to get to one. 

[SpaceCoresDad]

I do enjoy how people are calling this a "downgrade." It's not like Sony ever had any intention of giving away Dying Light and Dark Souls, lmao. That was literally just something some dude on the internet made up. Personally, I'm totally down for these two games, though I am surprised about the whole PSNow thing being true. I never got PSNow though, so hey. Win for me.

[Katt]

I wanted something to relax, not fall asleep.

You don’t need PS+ for every multiplayer game. €60 a year to just play online, thats overpriced. But you do get +/- 24 free games a year, not to mention, you save a shit ton of money if you look up the +/- 24 games a year, count up the prices. I do dislike the fact you need PS+ to play some online games, for example you don’t need it to play Fortnite.

 

Imagine Playstation would make a new service like PS+ to just play online: PS Online but without the monthly games. What would a good price be for a year? Would people still complain about the service cause there would be no monthly games? (I bet so cause all people do is complain) Would PS+ drop in price cause PS Online is a separate service now? Would it be fair to drop the price of PS+ without multiplayer when we get 2-3 games each month?

 

Just be happy with what you get.

Ps plus users don't understand that most players don't want 200 games in a backlog which aren't even gonna play. Multiplayer must be free like it was on ps3, if you enjoy ps plus good for you, but don't ruin multiplayer experience for the rest of us.

It just blows my mind how people deffend an anty-consumer practice like it is ps plus being a must for multiplayer. It was cool on ps3, if you want it enjoy it, if you don't, cool, you have free multiplayer

Dude, you are lying. You have multiplayer trophies all over your profile from many, many months, and years. 

 

And yes. Ps plus is fair for me. In promotion, and every few months there is a promotion, YEAR of plus costs less than even pizza delivery boy earns in ONE DAY in Poland. You are probably from Spain, so it's probably even easier get.

One year is minimum 24 games, many of them I would never bought, but had fun. It's a good addition even for games meant to play single-player like nioh / bloodborne / dark souls. 

 

But hey! Since you lied, I guess you are like 12 or something, so yes. In your case I would invest in books 

I'm not lying it is true. I paid ONE month ps plus subscription because I wanted COD:MW Remastered. But after that I've been doing the 14 free days ps plus exploit with a lot of Canada accounts which don't recquire a payment method (since october 2019 I believe) 

That's how I got TLOU Remmastered later. I even made a thread so people  could do the same, but mods deleted it lol

And it is cool that ps plus is fair to you, I respect that. All I'm saying is that it is an anti consumer policy making multiplayer pay to play and people don't seem to understand it. And Im 26, how am I 12 years old if that is the age of my psn account, I've been playing since I was 1 year old!!!??? Maybe you should invest in books!!!! Anyway, enjoy Farming Simulator

One of my favorite things ever is to read all the selfish and entitled people complaining about PS+ offerings every month. It never gets old.

[craig_obviously]

Not surprised to see Farm Sim after the infinitely better Snowrunner dropped yesterday... what can you do though... Giants refuses to let go of its 10 year old engine.. which I will gladly play for free

[theSpirae]

Now, I'm usually the one defending the Plus service but I'm getting sick of getting games with tons of DLCs where it is usually cheaper to buy the GOTY/full edition than get free base game and buy DLCs/season pass separately. Sniper Elite, Mafia, XCOM, etc.

 

I don't expect to get every month games I love or end up playing but at least offer the damn DLCs/season pass for a reasonable price.

I know your being funny, but that game would have been better than any of these two games.  Heck if you have PS Now you already have these games.
