Is it worth subscribing to PlayStation games? Players produce alternatives

Paying $ 160 for a year of PlayStation Plus Premium should be sufficient to keep you at home for at least six months. A few seconds of scrolling across the catalog, and you realize … wait, is this?

A handful of decent surnames, some good reactionary classics, and the multi -player situation you will never touch because you do not prefer to hear a 12 -year -old child screaming his lungs from how you “absorb in Fortnite”. So, PS Plus, what gives?

For the first time in 15 years, I finished PlayStation Plus. The cost is too much and we do not see anything against the increase. I remember that I mocked Xbox owners because of having to pay to play online. This is late. PlayStation #goodbye pic.twitter.com/38345p6kwq

Your friend who owns Xbox is secured in several versions of one day from Bethesda Games on Game Pass, and your Game Buddy is at a distance of $ 5. Do PlayStation subscription services deserve it, or are the players better in searching elsewhere?

I have been involved in both the console and a personal computer, and I can tell you that PS Plus is not bad, but it can be passed.

What includes PS Plus?

PlayStation Plus, a leading subscription service in Sony, comes in the three: necessary, additional, and distinct, with prices ranging from $ 80 to $ 160 annually.

SUB has features such as online multiple players, monthly “free” games, and upper layers, a tital for flowing or downloading addresses, including some games of PlayStation 1, 2, 3 and 4.

On paper, it looks like a good deal, especially given how new games now cost $ 69 to $ 89 for pop. But in reality, a few weeks after the 8 -hour gaming sessions a day on the daily, you will feel bored. Ps Plus does not offer a lot when stacked against competitors such as Xbox Game Pass or “free” computer games.

To try PS Plus (good)

I don’t completely reject Sony. Until the broken hour is the right twice a day, right? For some categories of players, such as signs and cup hunters, PS Plus is a strong deal.

If you are new to PlayStation Ecosystem, $ 89 for AAA titles, compared to paying $ 135 to $ 160 annually to reach hundreds of games, is something that is not released.

Then there are additional and distinct levels, which provide a catalog of games for download or broadcast. For cup hunters there, the PS Plus makes it easier to accumulate records, regardless of the extent of moving the experience in some games (You may want to stay away from Mein Leben from Wolfenstein 2 if you are always low in patience.))

In short, PS Plus was manufactured for multiple modifications, cup fishermen, independent game, and new expatriates looking to provide Pak. What about the rest of us?

Perhaps this is good (bad)

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: PS Plus. If you are paying the additional or distinctive levels, you expect the Baldur 3 or God of War Gate, right? Well, you will get at least 2018 God of War.

The first 45 game on PlayStation Plus 159.99 $ Package. Absolute joke. Last year, this was not bad, it was not great but it was not bad at all. This was the year of disgust for PlayStation Plus. Get Xbox and Game Pass if you are considering going to PlayStation Pic.twitter.com/jra714B1QF

Xbox Game Pass offers hundreds of games, including daytime versions like Starfield, but PS Plus looks like a clearance shelf in the savings store. Certainly, you may find a jewel or ten, but you often abandon the titles that you may not think were exist because of its boring.

We can take the additional layer, which has “up to 400 PS4 and PS5 games”, but the rapid scroll reveals a lot of independent titles, the oldest AAA games that you have already played times, and “discount from the month” of the exhibited for approximately $ 10 everywhere.

All that remains for you is just restarting the last of us for the seventeenth time.

It seems that the personal computer is a better alternative (the better?)

Get it. Building a good computer tower for games is not cheap; 1500 dollars or more on a platform with RTX 3090 or better, three times more than a thin ps5. But as soon as it is at your table, the performance is unrealistic.

Steam sales can be disrupted for less than $ 5. I have lost the number of times my friends have moved away from a sale with five games at Spiderman 2 in the PlayStation Store.

I am ridiculous, hate capitalism

Even the highest PlayStation Plus does not get a lot of games that won the approval of critics and the same expensive games like https://t.co/ace3a3wmkl

Then there is a performance factor. With an advanced computer, the video quality does not play 1440 pixels through AMD technology to 4K; It is a clean original 4K at 120 frames (FPS), with rays tracking and tracking the path. The graphics are so realistic that you swear that you may smell rain on Cyberpunk 2077.

Do not understand me wrongly, what PS5 can do in terms of impressive images, but in most games, they are locked at 60 frames per second.

And let us not forget the amendment community. PC players can breathe a new life in old titles, and to make graphic repairs for new or old campaigns.

Learn what Modders did in Edition Grand Theft Auto Vice Nextgen, Building VC on the GTA IV engine. It looks like a full new game. PS5 players stick to everything that Sony see deserves the PS Plus catalog.

PS Plus needs to do better job

So, what is reform? If the Xbox Game Pass is able to launch Halo Infinite or Starfield on the first day, why can’t Ps Plus do the same with the same with God’s war or Horizon? Second, please enhance the catalog with more addresses we can play with.

We do not ask the moon, just a few modern AAA nicknames and the lowest mysterious Indian islands that you feel like filling. Third, make the excellent layer worth it in reality; We all know that the PS5 can play PS3 addresses because it is compatible with the back (YouTube has done a lot of research on this).

Please include each PS3 game; Some of us will be very happy to play Smackdown Vs Raw 2011 Once again, the WWE2K era no longer cuts it to us anymore.

While we are in that, what about the loyalty program? If you have participated in PS Plus for a decade of time, go bone, and perhaps discount on new versions or exclusive content.

Here is a wild idea: Why don’t you let PS Plus vote on the games that are added to the catalog every month? It will give us a feeling that we are “part of a society” and may prevent inevitable groans when the latest “free” game is something that no one has requested.

PS Plus is not completely terrible; It is not great. For those of us who play for fun, not for multiple players, it is not enough. It is time for Sony to intensify her game, intended to leave.
