I was a Playstation Plus member for many years but let it lapse two years ago and have not missed it. I still have full, complete use of my PS4 for steaming video on any app and playing games. My only limitation is accessing the multiplayer mode in certain games -- and not even all games.

Before pulling the trigger, I saw on Metacritic that Deus Ex: MD had an aggregate score of 84 (PS4) with almost half the scores 90 or better. So I was surprised I hadn't heard more about it, as far as award nominations and such. I guess the pre-order bonus marketing fiasco turned a lot of people...

So after 110+ hours, I started to get a little burnt out on questing through Dragon Age Inquisition with only one or two main missions remaining to finish the story. It's almost a shame this game is so deep and long, because as an RPG, I would like to experience it in different ways, with...

I hear you, except part of my interest in another ME run is importing my renegade character from ME1 to complete the renegade cycle in ME2 and ME3 (which I haven't done before). I don't know if I could do ME1 again (I've done it three and one-third times) without combat and driving control...

I recently moved my PS3 from the bedroom, where it was on PS Vue duty, to the living room, thinking that is the only way I'd play several games I have on it that I never got around to (or favorite older games I want to replay). I started with Sorcery (the Move game) only to find after two hours...

I'm actually surprised Sony notified Plus members a full year in advance of dropping PS3 and Vita games from Plus. I had PS Vue for 20 months and sometimes I wouldn't even get 24 hours notice before a channel was dropped. And in my previous experience with Plus, they'd make other significant...

Good to know. Part of my interest in Andromeda is that one of my favorite SFF authors (a gamer and ME fan, N.K. Jemisin) co-wrote the second prequel novel.

True. I guess pretty much any installment of a major franchise, offering as much content as an RPG does, is worth $10. It's partially a matter of whether it's worth prioritizing over the dozen other AAA games I have yet to play on PS4. I heard one potential issue with Andromeda is that it was...

Mass Effect Andromeda is on sale for $9.89 in a PS4 flash sale right now. I know it had some issues when released (some which have been fixed) and isn't considered nearly as good as the original trilogy, but would my fellow ME fans consider it worth playing for <$10.

That's good to know. I've seen good deals on the Witcher PC games over the past few years, only to remind myself I don't even play the handful of PC games I already have, preferring my PS4/PS3 setup or even mobile games on tablet. And it's not like the save files would carry over anyway if I did...

Thanks for the heads-up about Witcher 3. I'll definitely keep my eye out for a good sale. I figured as I was writing that post above there was probably some game that would be comprable. I've heard good things about Witcher 3, but not having played the previous ones I didn't look at it too closely.

I'm 60+ hours into Dragon Age: Inquisition (30 hours of which were played in 2017), so as the game I spent the most time playing in 2017 (and worth mentioning), I will add my very belated GOTY award to the 130 it received three years ago. lol It is quite spectacular. I can't imagine a world this...

That's what I'm counting on. I didn't play DA1 either (though I have it on PS3 and PC), but I did play DA2 twice a few years ago. Yet, beyond the big decisions relating to companions (romancing, betraying, ensuring they lived, etc.), I couldn't remember much else about the game when I was...

I couldn't resist grabbing Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY for $10 in the current PlayStation sale ($8 for Plus members). I loaded up Dragon Age 2 before I started it so I could set up my choices in the Dragon Age Tapestry. The contrast in graphics quality is remarkable even for this "older" PS4 game.

I already have a PS4 camera and Move controllers (which I understand aren't required for most games), so I'm tempted by the $200 pricing for just the headset. One of my biggest concerns is continued software support for PS VR. I've already been burned by Move for PS3 and PS Vita, and $200 is a...

Well as much as I found more nitpicks, I did find things I missed the first time through, including many of those optional conversation moments. In my first playthrough, any time I took control of Joel in a new area, I immediately started scavenging, ignoring whatever Ellie was going on about...

I suspect this won't be retroactive or it will be a one-time bonus (i.e., you won't get 1,000 points for every 10 platinum trophies). My rewards account doesn't appear to be syncing properly as it's not even recognizing any trophies I earned (and synced to Sony's servers) since signing in to the...

I guess over the past two years I forgot all the things I didn't like about TLOU, so I recently started a New Game+ run on normal difficulty. Now that I have a better knowledge of the game and story, some things annoy me even more. For instance, I just finished the Ellie section, where she had...

I was fairly active in the PS trophy hunting community for a while, and it never ceased to amaze me what people would do to pad their trophy totals. PlaystationTrophies.org would sponsor trophy hunting leagues in which teams of trophy hunters competed to "earn" the most trophies in the shortest...

Every time I browse a big sale in the PSN Store, I come across yet another PS4 game I had "purchased" as a PS Plus member and now seem to be able to download free permanently. For some reason, certain games show up as "Free" where the price would normally be. Of course, this isn't for every PS...

Are these VR games still more like tech demos rather than full-fledged campaigns? I've been afraid that VR is just Move 2.0 in that the games are fun to play around with for a bit, but once the novelty wears off, sales will drop, and developers will stop making games. Except with VR, cost of...

I'm actually playing Life Is Strange right now on PS4 (I had bought it in late 2015) and have encountered zero performance issues or odd glitches through episode 3 (knocks on wood). The only errors I've seen are that in a few of instances the in-game journal and the end-game choice stats didn't...

Wouldn't you know the month I finally drop my Plus sub they would offer a game I was really interested in, Tearaway Unfolded. And the PS4 version expands quite a bit from what the Vita version included, from what I understand.

Funny you should mention that. Last week I learned there's a FireTV Android app that turns my first-gen FireTV Stick into an Alexa device. It gives me access to Prime Music content and whatever CDs in my collection found their way into my Amazon cloud storage. I'll have to play around with it to...

I have racks of CDs in my living room, and I can find any one CD I'd like to play within five seconds--then another five to ten seconds to open the case, pop into the player, and press play. With network streaming on the other hand, I have to first launch the PS4's media player, connect to my...
