Really enjoyed Mercenary Kings last night, fun old school 2D platforming/shooting. The structure is pretty cool - so quite open in how you tackle the missions. I like the resource gathering, weapon modding and RPG levelling. Looks like it will have some depth. Only played solo so far - but the multiplayer should be great.

When did you last pay for plus? i want you to add up the cost of every game whether you have liked it or not and see if it comes to the £30 that you probably spent on Plus, i assure you unless you subbed again the very day they gave you mercenary kings you have affected paid 0p for it
.Sony have paid for Mercenary Kings and that money has come out of your subscription. This month is a bit of a dud month IMHO, that's not a complaint as I expect dud months, just a statement of my feelings about this months content. |

Merc Kings is an awful game. How the heck can Sony go from ResoGun/Contrast/Dead Nation and the like to this. Lets hope 'May' is a return to form for the + freebie. Yeah I know the PS4 is new so it's difficult to offer us free games but how about a few must haves from the PS3 library.

I think people should be allowed to be disappointed with a selected game. Mercenary Kings does seem a poor choice given it looks like a Megadrive game. I imagine some people will just be jumping onto PS4 this month and the first thing they see from PS+ is a 16bit game, power of the next gen baby

I must question what was the true cost to us for Mercenary Kings or any thing else for that matter, with Plus available from about £25-30 per year from the right places, we pay what (not even going to try and work it out properly ) 33p per game? then factor in the online multiplayer, is it really worth getting upset over that much

Pes 14 is gash - two games in, second game most of my players booked / one sent off, unable to score, can't bypass replays - why can't there be an option to turn off offside - u only kick when it won't make someone offside.
400 menu options when u start the game for the first time, menu is dated and everything feels old |

Oh i totally agree, from a personal standpoint this is the worst month on Plus since they started doing instant game collection, but i was there from a time before IGC when you where lucky if you got a PS1 classic and a mega drive game along with some Minis, very really if ever (i don't recall) did you get a fully fledged highly rated PS3 title, so now when i see people complaining that every game isn't a great game every month its a little annoying

The service offers a stream of new content each month, is it wrong to be disappointed when the new content is not to your liking. This month for me I got a crappy football game (a sport I don't like), a game I already own which I found average anyway and a PSN game which turned out to be a bit crap. I thought this months content was poor, but I think the PS+ service is awesome. I know that next month or the month after more awesome games I want will arrive (In fact the past two months have been some of the best for me) but that doesn't stop me been disappointed with this months content. It is possible to think a months content is poor yet still think the overall service is awesome. |

Undoubtedly weve been spoiled by plus on ps3 and yes its early in ps4 life. Ps+ is generally good but my thinking is as above of someone new joining this month, buying plus and downloading that. That is unquestionably poor and sony need to know that.
They were the ones that came up with plus, not me. If they couldn't deliver then maybe it shouldn't exist. However the game currently sits with a metacritic score of 78 so not a lot I can say. They have also changed the service for ps4 in only offering the 1 game for your game collection, whereas ps3 always has 10. Yeah there probably isn't 10 games for ps4 but it losses the attractiveness of the instant game collection as it currently stands. |

Can we see a time when Sony pull the plug on the freebies ? I know it's unlikely in the short term, or have they started something that can't be stopped without causing uproar lol.
In all honesty, if they stopped it tomorrow I'd feel disappointed for a few hours then get on with it. What would your reaction be if Sony ditched the free stuff? Just curious. |

Id be slightly annoyed as would be paying the same for online as xbox with an inferior service. Ie the downtime we have compared to them.

As a PS3 gamer if Sony dropped PS+ free games I would feel conned as I have a year left on my subscription and that would suddenly become worthless as PS+ would offer nothing to me as a PS3 gamer. As for Mercenary Kings I wonder if Sony would have been better offering both Flow and Flower on PS+ for PS4. I know people moaned last month about a PS3 game on PS4 PS+ but two PS3 remakes wouldn't be too bad would it? |

If sony dropped the free games it would potentially be suicide, the only reason most of us are on Plus is the free games on PS3 and we've stayed with it, if they lose those millions how would they replace them and considering the financial position Sony is in those millions matter
You have to remember PS3 - 80+ million PS4 7+ million Sure the adoption rate for Plus isn't 100% but why risk losing so many customers by leaving them with nothing |

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, as they would be welcomed by many, but from Sony's point of view perhaps a pain in the ass. |

Bit of a minefield doing that. Lots of people already have them on PS4 for free thanks to cross-buy with PS3/Vita, many of whom would be annoyed. Plus, being cross-buy if they did give them away on PS4 they'd have to give them to PS3 and Vita owners as well.

Seriously you'd rather they let you watch a movie than give you a game ' a year from now then things will be different. |

Played Mercenary Kings for about half hour last night when a mate came round and we quite enjoyed it. Obviously it would be nice to get a bigger title with Ps+. But for now I'm quite happy with these sort of games.

Because all of the PS4 PS+ games so far have been new releases - at no point has it offered games that players have already got. Forthcoming PS+ games Secret Ponchos and Driveclub will continue this trend.

Depending on how you argue it Dead Nation could be seen as a game players have already got and from PS+ itself no less.
