nice!! I had the feeling Dirt 5 would pop up at some stage.
Dirt 5 really improved over time with a bunch of patches.
Some of the best haptics and trigger resistance and really cool virtual 'music in the stadium' type effects when driving around.
Great PS+ addition.
Absolutely, fantastic arcade racer game! Well worth completing.
That’s interesting and good to hear then. I played it when it was released and sort from being pretty it played worse than Daytona USA.
The good ol daytona.
1. Play at timezone till u get a gold card.
2. Once u get gold card, go everyday after school and play one game of daytona for free.
3. Repeat.DAAYTOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Wow these are all excellent, been looking at getting all of these actually, great month
Deep Rock Galactic is literally one of my favorite roguelike games. So infinitely replayable and so smooth. Probably one of the few games I actually enjoy playing with randoms on.
Rock and Stone.
for Karl!
Rock and stone to the bone
Looks boring.
Hmm, might give this a go! I just uninstalled FarCry 6, so Dirt 5 and this could be fun
Give it a shot! It's a game I recommend you don't play solo and just leave your server open for people to join. Seriously one of the least toxic communities due to how the game is designed.
do you need friends to play with? or is there online matchmaking
There are self hosted servers which each player hosts. You can choose to do it solo or leave it open for randoms to join
Very easy to find other players online
Woah I didn’t know it came to PlayStation. Rock and stone brother!
I freaking hate anything rouge like
Even Moulin Rouge?
Or anyone with rosy cheeks.
I don't play roguelike games much tbh, but this one I play the shit out of.
It's not really a rogue like. It's left 4 dead but with persistent leveling and talent trees like diablo.
Seems like a good month… more games to throw onto the backlog that I'll never have time to play :(
same here
Here here!!
Played with EA Plus and Dirt5 really enjoyable arcade racing game. Easy platinum too.
I've been looking to play Dirt5 so this is good news
And to think I just bought Persona 5 Strikers… At least I'll get to play Deep Rock Galactic on PS again :')
Dirt 5? Actually something I wouldn't mind!
This is what you call a bounceback month.
it's about time.. PSN hasn't been that great recently. Godfall 'demo' version was just a slap in the face.
Now I just need a PS5
Thousands came in to stock this week. BIGW, JB AND EB all had massive drops.
Not sure where you're located, but I put in an 'expression of interest' at JBHifi in QLD and got called within a month. I had already snagged one from amazon, but I heard the same 4-6 weeks from other people who put in the EOI. So, worth a shot.
Awesome wanted all three of these.
Deep rock galactic looks interesting. Dirt 5 is a game I usually wouldn't buy but I'd play if free. Persona strikers I have no idea what it is
Persona strikers is the pick of the bunch…
Yup great that I didn’t buy that game
At this rate - I would not be surprised for Returnal, Deathloop, Demonsouls or Deathstranding becoming part of a monthly ps plus game
Deathloop maybe. Returnal and demons souls might take a while longer. If you want Returnal just buy it. It’s great.
Returnal & Deathloop are appealing,
Yeah nah - will wait. Hopefully Returnal becomes a ps+ monthly game in the soon coming months
My New gen & retro games pile of shame is staring at me very very strangely…
Unless the agreement is already in place for Deathloop I think that is unlikely.
When it launches on Xbox it will be on Gamepass day one, and I cannot see that MS would do Sony any favours here.
So glad i didnt buy dirt 5
……
ROCK AND STONE EVERYONE!!!
my ps plus has just been extended 10 days by PlayStation themselves
Was it close to expiry?
my ps+ expires on 26th
Damn bought Dirt 5 a few months ago lol. As I was playing through it certainly felt like it would pop up on PS Plus eventually. The gameplay is solid and it's a really nice feeling arcade racer but holy hell the ‘career’ mode completely lacks depth, variety or any sort of entertainment really. You just go through the same 5 tracks in the same 5 categories of cars until you’re finished with this annoying radio host sounding voiceover constantly harassing you.
Interested in Deep Rock Galactic though!
I have the exact same feeling about it, actually really surprising how shallow career mode is, and weird how it's never mentioned in any reviews
Has anyone played both WreckFest and Dirt 5? I played WreckFest when it came out on PS+ and had a good time. I’ve played Dirt games in the past and enjoyed them too but I’m not sure if I’m ready for another arcade racer so soon.
download it and just keep it in the library collection and when your ready to play install it and play :)
I already own Dirt 5 lol o well.
Ugh, I bought Persona Strikers during black friday sales and it's still sealed :(
Maybe I can return it
The moral of the story: Never buy games!
Oh hi me
I'm about to pull the trigger on an Amazon return myself
I bought it from EB. They've extended their Game Guarantee to Jan 10 for Christmas, but I can't find information about the period that you need to have bought it within.
You'll prob come off better at EB than I will with Amazon. Shipped internationally so $15 return fee. :/
Moral its not never buy games….. Only buy games if you have completed everything you already owned
- Do not buy just because it's cheap or Fear of missing out
- If you have subscription on any platform, patience is the key something good will be released
- Allocate time to finish off titles you own first and don't keep buying for the hype or for the sake of it
- Subscribe to ozbargain free games threads etc surely you will score something to play free
Buy, Play & Sell
Simple, if only I listened to myself!
Moral its not never buy games….. Only buy games if you have completed everything you already owned
I think an appropriate and healthy addendum would be
Only buy games if you have completed everything you already owned. However buying a new game can be acceptable if you intend to immediately play it. That it’s already been released, proven to be playable and worthwhile by the community.
The rest is just good advice. But if you never bought games until you finished your backlog entirely, I never would until I was dead. There’s so many free games given out, free to play and games already bought.
Good advice. I sell all my games after I finish them. With price protection credit card all my games have been almost free
Which card? Available?
Lucky I held off getting Dirt 5!!
New to the PS5 scene, just want to ask are these games being released for free in Jan?
Yeah if you have a ps plus subscription
Persona 5 Strikers ! Can't wait to play it, It's going to be one of the best month!
Great game!
For all j-rpg game lover it is a must play.Can you only play these games while being a subscriber? Meaning, if I cancel my subscription after downloading them, will I still have access to these games?
You only have access to them while you're subbed. If you resubscribe down the track, you'll have access to them again though.
Just get a US account. I buy the sub keys for like $30 a year.
Cheapest way to get a trial/very short PS+ subscription so that these can sit in my library until I have time and sign up to PS+?
No doubt you wouldve spent the 3 mins searching like I did, but i found this from EB. Not sure if its there is trials around or if its the cheapest, but nothing else i found came close.
1 month sub via EB Games - $11.95
https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/ps3/246193-playstation-pl…
What about the 14 day trial? Looking at this as well.
Just had a thought the next three months will probably be ps plus’ best because Sony will want to jack up their numbers right before the end of the financial year. Same kinda happened last year.
And on the seventh day , the l'rd hath said doth not buyeth those video games f'r thine games shall be’est free on the ps plus
And it was so
Thank Op, glad I didn’t go pick Dirt 5 up for $9 the other day. 👍
Finally a soccer game on PS+! Not interested in the others.
Ha! I see what you did there
My hard drives full and I’m not budging.
Holy sh!t, persona 5 strikers! Trading in my copy I guess.
So will we be able to claim both the PS4 and PS5 versions of Dirt 5? Or do we just pick one version and miss out on the other?
Now officially confirmed: https://blog.playstation.com/2021/12/29/playstation-plus-gam…
Leaker has been 100% correct every single month for 6 months straight.
Nice who is the leaker?
Billbil-kun at dealabs.com. It's said that one of the graphic artists that puts together the monthly poster for one of the European regions leaks it through a chain of several people.
So they're meant to be available today, what time exactly as I still have last month's games showing up.
I think it's usually about 8-9pm AEDT roughly, but it doesn't seem like it's always precise either.
try after 11am, which is midnight UTC. Actually Deep Rock Galatic says its available in just under 2 hours time, so 11am…… but they are never available then for me, but are often for a friend. I usually wait til tomorrow to check.
Still cannot add DIRT 5 to cart
Yeah only Deep Rock seems to be available at the moment. Others will be later I guess.
All now live!
if we have ps5 plus for january and stop subscription next month. can we still access the game?
No. You need active subscription to access the games you have redeemed
Any ps5 in stock anywhere?
No
Games can now be added to your library but you need to search for them individually - Sony have still not updated their "this month on PS Plus" page and it still shows last months games.
