PlayStation needs to fix their services, first PSNow is not getting PS5 native games and now even PS+ is getting trimmed down version of games.

Uh is that content cut out, or is it just negated by the level 50 boost? I'm not sure the wording is specific enough to say the content isn't actually there, and maybe it's only been made redundant

Edit: OK yeah reading the blog, you can upgrade to the deluxe edition to get that stuff. Tbh given the reception of the game this is probably the right move

Based on how much people cared about this game before this controversy, it probably would have been better for them to just not include it as part of this months games.

Suddenly everyone is all into Godfall– going to be huge!

multiple sources have reported the single player campaign is not included, you have to pay extra for the deluxe edition (price TBD) to obtain it.

Its cut out, the separate blogpost about the challenger edition makes it clear.
Godfall: Challenger Edition, which allows new players to experience the game's trio of endgame modes, minus the story content of the base game and Fire & Darkness expansions, and grants existing players new exciting features and rewards to enjoy..

The content is there, just not the campaign. Not sure if you played Diablo, but imagine the story being removed, and you start at endgame. All leveled up. Endgame content is just remixed campaign content. Of course, the story and campaign isn't worth a damn in Godfall, so you're not really missing anything important here, it is getting you to the good stuff immediately so you don't need to suffer through 12 hours of campaign slog, but I get people being upset not having the slog available.

Hm, what "does not include the single player game" means? I thought the PS+ Version have no campaign and just the endgame. I cant play the endgame solo?

What a joke.
Sony needs to not let gimped versions on PS+.
This lets no one feel great about it.

Does MS ever do this with GamePass games?

As a ps+ subscriber for years, I can safely say that ps+ is trash. Feels like they're just giving us scraps and breadcrumbs. Disappointing

You'd think, being an online-only game and all, that they'd want to bump up the player-base as much as they can

I was looking forward to play Godfall and Mortal Shell, but no campaign and 30 fps is a quite the letdown...

I don't understand why Godfall of all games gets this treatment.

Plenty of better received, just better in general games have come to PS+ in their original form within the same timeframe. What's so great about Godfall that it still commands a premium to get the full experience?

Even assuming it's Pitchford bullshit, why on earth would Sony be cool with this? It makes their service look chintzy.

This is weird and dumb but it's 3 modes meant to be played repeatedly so calling it a "demo" seems like an overreaction.

You're not really going to pretend like you cared about the dogshit story that's delivered by you walking back and forth between two NPCs for 5 minutes, right? Nobody who has actually played this game is saying this is a bad outcome. In fact I've universally read the opposite so far.

i'm not going to pretend that i was actually going to play godfall either way

but this is honestly hilarious. nobody's buying or playing our game so give away the game but also make them buy it for the full experience which almost no other game on the service does

that'll fix everything

My only thought here is they thought they were doing players a solid. There's zero reason to play through the campaign if you start at max level with access to the endgame; a lot of the complaints regarding GF was the campaign being a boring slog, and by the time you got to the endgame, you were all set. That, and no matchmaking for co-op.

Someone posted recently that if you buy Godfall now, it gives you the option to skip the campaign and do exactly what this edition does. They should have just went with that model.

Side-bar from it's relation to PS+, that's honestly likely the reason this is the version being given, as most everyone thinks the campaign is a dog-shit grind. Hence, max level mode for end-game to play online co-op with people, instead of bouncing off early from the campaign experience.

So like...
What am I striving for in this version of the game? Yeah I get to taste how the game feels and plays but if there is no story to experience what do I have to do? I have max level and the the rare gear all unlocked so what am I playing the game for.

I guess the coop experience...?


People who actually played Godfall, does this game play so well that the loot and progression held it back? Are we getting the only part of the game that's good?

This thread reminded me that I needed to cancel my PS+ sub. I haven't fired up my PS4 in months (no new, interesting exclusives) and I probably won't buy a PS5 until after 2022.

Playing it for loot and creating kick-ass builds. And yes, the gameplay in GF is fun. The campaign is not.
