Heavy Rain sucks and Absolver looks awful (with a 69 metacritic to boot)

Would've traded both for the PS4 version of ZTD. Pretty terrible month imo for PS4 people.

Wow. Just grabbed the Heavy Rain + Beyond physical collection after playing Detroit, but HR is a good QD offering for those who don't have it already.

In for Absolver. Might give Heavy Rain another play, who knows.

Quite a lot of good games, but "unfortunately" I just recently played ZTD (it was surprisingly fantastic) and played through Heavy Rain on PS4 just about two years ago.

Does Zero Escape not work on PS4? I swear there was a PS4 release, but it could have been a different version or something.

It was released on PS4 as well, but it's not cross-play.

Damnit I already got Heavy Rain from Detroit order. Absolver and Zero Escape are great addition to my backlog.

Absolver is an online multiplayer game right? How alive is it right now? This is probably a last ditch effort for a community that(I'm guessing) is on life support.

This is what Plus seems to be about, putting out indie games that rely on a community to work on the program.

The Saudi account will get Absolver + Nex Machina (Heavy Rain is banned)

That's great since I have Heavy Rain already

I don't recommend starting with this game. This would be like starting a long running book series at the final entry.

Am I okay starting with Virtue's Last Reward? I know it's not optimal but I have it on plus already and now will have the third one, so I'm not inclined to buy the bundle just for 999 since I cannot get the first game separately.

Isn't Heavy Rain really really old now? Feels like ages since I played it. I usually like these kinds of games but Heavy Rain is far below mediocrity. I've no intentions of giving it a second run

Virtues last reward does a much better job being a stand alone game than ZTD which assumes you've played Virtue and 999. Some of the plot twists won't hit anywhere near as hard, and it does give away some big plot points from 999, but I think it's better than not playing the series at all.

Absolver is actually really great once you get the hang of it and spar with someone who's evenly matched. I haven't booted it up in months. Excited to dive back in, actually.

I may download Heavy Rain to re-experience some of the hilariously terrible writing and voice acting. Some of those scenes had me in tears almost, but after Detroit which was surprisingly decent this is going to feel even worse to play.

Weird that they'd have Beyond and Heavy Rain back to back. I played through HR on PS3 so not so fussed about that one. Absolver is an online combat multiplayer game apparently so not bothered about that either. Never mind, gives me a chance to work through the backlog of games I actually do want to play!

Nothing exciting, but I've already played Heavy Rain twice so that's why. That's a big game for anyone who hasn't played it and wants to.

Oh for fucks sake, Deception is the only game I would've wanted to play there, what's the reason we aren't getting it in the EU?
