For people who got the "complete edition" for the surge, it appears there is new dlc not included in that version, and now there is more completed edition called "augmented edition" that contains all the dlcs.

The Surge is a really good AA Souls like. It doesn't have the lore but the combat and setting are pretty cool concepts. I re ommend giving it a try.

Why no PSVR games tho
Same reason people pleaded and begged Sony to remove PS3 and Vita games. Gamers are entitled and feel angry and frustrated if something is offered in PS+ that doesn't directly cater for them.
If they did add a monthly VR game it wouldn't be long before the community start blaming a poor quality PS4 month on too much of the budget going to the VR game.

Eh, both games that looked interesting but not enough to actually buy them. So I'm cool with it.

I tried to like the Surge on PC but I found the mechanics clunky and almost slapped together without much thought.

They were doing it for awhile though. I'm pretty sure I got rush of blood and rigs through ps+

Neither of these really inspire me.

I'm really missing the additional Vita and PS3 games that had PS4 crossplay the past two months - out of the four, only The Witness interested me but I played that to death at launch.

Sure I'll try The Surge. Played the demo and wasn't into it but I'll take a crack at it again.

After I get Sekiro's Platinum.

Between the loss of games and the biggest multiplayer games being F2P, I just don't see the value proposition anymore, especially if you're paying for other online services.

The Surge is great fun, I enjoyed it more than many of the Souls games, many people don't want to admit, but some things it actually does better than the Souls series.

Conan, maybe this is a for April Fools? Nobody wants that awful game.

hmm not that great.. Not making up for the lost 4 titles this month. While they look ok, Surge has been 12.49 on sale quite a bit, haven't even heard of the conan game, wish it had been couch coop.

Not worth renewing my PS Plus. Maybe next month Sony realises they are 4 games down every month after removing PS3 and Vita games from Plus...

Eh.

Conan is a maybe. Doubt I'll bother with The Surge, being from the Lords of the Fallen guys. That shit was dreadful.

Sony isn't even pretending to try to make up for the cut content I see. Will probably let my sub expire and never look back.

Looking forward to the surge.

I got conan already on PC, not sure why it gets so much hate.
It's basically just ARK in a conan skin.

This is the first time it's two games I already own. Still, they are quite solid titles, though I don't think Conan will be for everyone.

Apparently most people professionally paid to review games don't think it's great. User reviews, as unhelpful as they generally are, are hardly stellar either, so...

It might not be a terrible game, but "not bottom for the barrel garbage" isn't the standard a service that just cut 2/3rds from its monthly offerings should be aiming for.

I understand what you're saying but a metacritic score can be very deceptive. There are a lot of people on this forum that absolutely loved The Surge, myself included. It's a really fun take on the Souls formula, which make even the regular enemies very deadly. The only negative for me was that there were only a handful of bosses. I guess I'm just saying don't knock it till you try it.

As far as lost value, I'm with you 100%. They took away a lot and they need to make up for it in some way.

Don't have either so lets get it. However the offering is definitely anemic without PS3 or Vita, at least offer some indies and or VR games, just 2 a month is bare as fuck.

I'll give The Surge a shot, once I polish off DaS2 DLC. I tried twice, but could not get into Lords of the Fallen, but most people keep saying this one is way better. So yeah, this is a good choice for me.

Conan Exiles sounds like something I would hate. I might not even download it.

The Surge takes some time to get going, but I had a decent time with it. No interest in Conan, so nothing for me this month.

My PS+ is running out in 5 months and if this is gonna continue I'm not gonna renew the sub.

Holy shit did the quality drop, it was once a nice way to discover the best indie games, then they took those out and replaced it with shitty mediocre unknown indies, and then took even those out.

I think I already have The Surge because I got it from that error a while ago that made it free on PSN, but I haven't checked if they actually honored it and let me keep the game. Anyone knows? At work right now so I can't freely check.
Yes you should have the game on the library I got it too, thanks to the error and played beat it and even platinum the game, so yes you have the base and one dlc with it. I enjoyed the game but I'm a souls fans too.

Never forget!



Edit: Seriously folks, the Surge is really nice. The setting is amazing, the voice actors did an amazing job. And wait till you find the entire suit of armour for Iron Maus and wear it. Play this game, it's really good.

Lmao I thought they had already PS Plus-ed The Surge but I think it was just on sale for like $8 at one point. I will prolly give The Surge a shot but boy oh boy I could go the rest of my life without playing another survival game.

I always wanted to try The Surge, but not enough to buy it (I didn't like Lord of Fallen and the demo didn't convince me). But for free, I'll give it a chance.
Conan could have been a fun multiplayer experience but my friends already bought it and platinumed it, so I doubt I will try it alone.
