It's a good but not a great game. Much shorter than Far Cry 4 and I think there's some sort of progression problem where it gets much easier the further you progress and end up pretty much unstoppable half way through once you master the animal powers.
No question it's fun, but Horizon Zero Dawn does everything that Far Cry Primal does, much better.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread

FC4 still is fun and a blast. We jump in here and there when we want a break. Wanted to get Primal and at that price...maybe. And despite what some say, I still had a great time with Killzone. I got it and infamous: Second Son at the PS4 launch. great looking game and the SP campaign was fun. I didn't meddle with the MP part. Feel like though we got a bit short changed...Europe got Uncharted 4 around 55% off...that one I do want.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread

For the PS+ deal, do I have to buy it through the PS store or can I buy a card anywhere and when I redeem it I'll get the extra 3 months added?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread

FC4 was a blast. Primal was supposed to be a quick and cheap add on, like Blood Dragon was for FC3 (like BD does for FC3, Primal uses the same map as FC4), but instead, they expanded it a small bit from it's initial concept and made it a full-priced game, when it totally didn't need to be.

No, you have to buy the PS Plus subscription through the PSN store.

Thanks, Decker. My PS+ is ending at the beginning of April, so I may jump on this. I was going to buy a card at Best Buy using some rewards points, but I can just as easily use those towards a PSN $ card and use that on the sub.

If that's true, I might bite on this. Looks like Best Buy still has some 49.99 12 month membership cards in stock too (available for store pickup even), so save an extra 10 bucks

              Plus PS Plus does a very MS-inspired thing this month and gives away a game that has already been a freebie with Games With Gold recently.

              No question : Microsoft wins the month!

              I was poking around in the PS Store last night and saw this game called...Skyforge...and was like what is this not ever hearing anything about it. Apparently it's been out since 2015 for Windows and just came out for the PS4. I watched a few player's videos and doesn't' seem that bad at all. Suppose to become "Free" around mid April with some special packs being offered now. Has anyone actually played it yet?

              I noticed a few things on sale the other day and picked up Limbo, Shadow of the Beast and Journey. Played about 45 mins of Limbo and loving it. $2 and a total bargain. Shadow of the Beast seems pretty good and brought back good memories of the original. Shame they didnt include the original in with it. Journey seems good, but i am not a fan of motion controls with the joypad. All in cost me around $20 and feel i got some good buys.

              Journey was a free PS Plus game just last September. Surprised you didn't get it then.

              It looks like a new PS4/PS3 humble bundle is about to go live:

              http://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/...ailable-today/

              The link doesn't work for me, but looks like a lot of good games in that bundle!

              hmm, was initially excited, but the more I look into it, the more I'm not sure. That's a lot of PS2 games in there, and the MX vs ATV game got trashed on metacritic (42!).

              PS2? I don't see a single PS2 game in the bundle.

              He meant PS2 games that were ported to PS4. Not remastered like the Darksiders games.

              I picked it up. Very smart of them to just have it as one PSN code that unlocks all the games instead of separate codes for each game. A ton of people abused it last time and just bought codes off people for $1 or less instead of buying the bundle.

              yeah, Destroy All Humans (1 & 2), Red Faction, and Legend of Kay are all just PS2 games with upscaled graphics (not remastered).

              Is MX vs ATV really that bad? I could see going for the $1 level, but don't want anything at the $11 level, and the only thing that I think I'd play on the $15 level is that racing game, but man those reviews stink.
