May's PlayStation Plus Games - Farming Simulator 19 and Cities Skylines
- Thread starter G_Shumi
- Start date
Yeah. Well I already have UC on physical, but I'm tempted by Dirt Rally 2.0 despite already having it on Steam
I mean, I don't care about either of those games and am not excited about it at all. As is the case for probably many people on an enthusiast board like this, they arent really my cup of tea and I would ahve gladly taken Generic Shooter 15 or Fantasy RPG 8 over these titles.
That being said, my girlfriend will be super pumped; she's been crushing Farming Simulator 17 on GamePass for months, and I assume this has some expanded gameplay systems for her to mess around with compared to that version. I would not be surprised at all if Farming Simulator 17 has the most playtime on my xbox out of any gamepass game, since most of the stuff I play like Halo or Gears I just run through the campaign once and it's over in like 10 hours. She has also wanted to try out Cities Skylines because she loved sim city and this seemed like a modernish take on it.
Edit: Just told her about it, and apparently there is horse riding in FS 19, whereas 17 only had breeding of cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. So she gets a new animal to breed and can ride them so shes excited. Success Sony!

This is great, it really highlights how there's no way to win with PS+ free games.
Good games: Nearly everyone already has them apparently
Bad games: They're bad games
Niche games: They're niche because there's not a lot of interest
Hidden indie gems: Works great until people learn to stop buying any good looking indie game.
About the only way it does work is when the platform isn't dominating the market, so like on PS3 Sony could just give away all the best games and no one was really affected because the devs were making most of their money on Xbox. It still worked well in the beginning of the PS4 era, giving Sony a chance to highlight games that deserved more attention.
It actually looks like Sony's trying to cobble together an approximation of Animal Crossing, lol. Oh well, works for me, I've been curious about both of these games for years. If only they could've thrown in a good train simulator too. :)

Farming Simulator? Come the fuck on Sony. The PS4 gen is nearly over and this is what we're getting :/
Sony really pulling no punches with PS Plus this month. /s
There's probably about 5 games on current gen hardware that I would find less enjoyable the Farming Simulator.

Like, I'm sure these are good games in their genres, but they're neich genres.
Playing a city building games with a controller sounds grim, but can work OK.

Exactly.
1x standard game with each would have been better.
I want to try Cities Skyline. Are the controls good on PS4?
Germany must be celebrating.
City Skylines is a good game though. I have the pretty crappy Switch version but it's still good enough that this stays another month I don't resubscribe.

These are really good but man, soooo not for me.
Neither of these games are "shitty"!
My subsciption is ending tomorrow and I'm happy that I didn't renew. The only game I play online is Apex which doesn't require PS+.
Cities is great on PC, but I'm not going to touch either of these on console. The real surprise for me is that people actually thought the Dark Souls Remaster and Dying Light offering was legit.
I laughed because my dad is all into Cities: Skylines during the lockdown
