PlayStation Plus - July 2018 | Absolver and Heavy Rain
- Thread starter benzopil
- Start date
Thanks for the hostility, i already checked...and i was just pointing out, but carry on
I'm only now realising that ZTD is the third game, the controversial misfire I never played.
Time to bust out the Vita.
Maybe I should do Rayman 3 as well, loved 2 but never played 3.

Much smoother in 1v1 PVP.
Yeah, I had to rejiggle the controls: R3 for targeting, L3 for stance change, and attack and defence on all the shoulder buttons and triggers. Much better like that.
Man snatched my June games last-minute. Almost missed XCom 2 ...
Will download Absolver today and try it out eventually.

Absolver is neat, but jittery (even on pro), and I don't think I like the camera for a game where spacing is so important. There's a reason most precision fighting games are from a side view. And group fights are just a mess.
Also, I'm lost. I feel like I'm running in big circles. Everything is ruins. I don't know where these Marks are. Beat a bunch of the named ones, including the guy with the cutscene, but the big door still won't open.

Are you in North America? Europe's getting a different game.
Absolver has an interesting and quite fun combat system, although I beat the final boss yesterday after maybe spending 6 hours, or so, in total playing it. I honestly thought that I'd only just finished the tutorial/beginners area. Considering that I spent most of my time running around lost and searching for the next miniboss, the game is shockingly short.
It's a shame, because it feels like the makings of a really decent game is here, but I'm glad I didn't spend money on it.
Apparently after you beat the final boss you're supposed to mainly play PvP? There isn't any obvious ranking system or leaderboards so I don't really feel motivated to spend too much time doing this, especially since you have to wait a couple of minutes for the next fight to load.

Yes. Sony switched it to Extreme Exorcism in NA too after the store updated and quietly edited the PS Blog post too.
The PS4 framerate in Absolver seems to stutter a lot. I'm not sure I'm feeling this one. The combat seems cool enough but I think I'd like it more if the game was structured differently, maybe more like a beat 'em up or "character action" game rather than a soulslike experience.
Weird. Next month's PS3 game worldwide perhaps? I'm also guessing The Order will be part of the line-up soon.
Is anyone else having problems with Heavy Rain?
My screen keeps flashing, especially when there's text on screen. It also affects the frame rate. I've been unable to play the game. As soon as it gets to the main menu, it already starts flashing non-stop. The top and bottom of the screen, where it says "Heavy Rain" and "Select" respectively.
The game is unplayable even when there's no text onsceen, the frame rate is atrocious.

Is heavy rain any good? How does it compare to other david cage's games?
I played only Omikron and Fahrenheit. I loved the begging of Fahrenheit, but near the end the story lost me.
If I wanted to play only one Cage's game what would tou suggest?

Generally consensus is
Detroit -> Heavy Rain -> Farenheit -> Beyond.
Most would suggest heavy rain over beyond. Heavy rains fine.
Man if you class that as a spoiler you shouldnt even be on the internet!
The voice acting is really bad haha but the actual game is still decent beyond the silly intro with Jason.
Production values overall definitely much improved with each new game.
Yep. I remember it being dark and gritty but the acting and jank make it hilariously goofy in the modern day. It's crazy how standards change, I appreciate Detroit even more now.
Don't let it spoil your playthrough as there's multiple different route depending on decisions etc. All of my characters died before the end of the game. The real twist is that we are all Jason.
The PS4 version of Extreme Exorcism was added to the EU Plus today.
Previously it was US only.

First time playing through Heavy Rain, and I fucking hate the controls. WTF were they thinking with those Stick Hadouken like QTEs.
Any rumours around yet for August games?
In around 5hrs is around when it usually is announced.

I would guess next wednesday, the plus games release on the first tuesday of the month, which is the 7th of August and nearly 2 weeks away. So still one week to go :/
Nope, always the Wednesday before the first Tuesday of a month.
In November last year, the first Tuesday was also on the 7th and the games were announced on Nov 1: https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/11/01/ps-plus-free-games-for-november/
Huh, I didn't even notice. I would have much rather gotten the Vita version of Deception anyway.
I played Absolver for a couple hours today and unfortunately didn't like it. I appreciate the premise and atmosphere, obviously reminiscent of the Souls series. But I couldn't really get into the combat mechanics, too complicated for my tired old brain. Most games with stances tend to trip me up admittedly. Game didn't give me two trophies I deserved either, boo! (I realised the PS4 can now allow you to delete games from the trophy screen, nice!)
Hope next month's games are AAA ones I haven't played yet...

Last month was the slow month, especially compared to previous months.
