I just completed Turing Test. I liked it a lot, give it a 9/10, I noticed I had every trophy but 1, so i decided to go back and get that. Then I realized....this game has no platinum trophy for completion. Ive actually never heard of that. I wonder what percentage of games have no platinum at all even if you get all the trophies. I wonder the reasoning behind that.

Interesting, looking it up apparently the new hitman games don't have platinum. And those are full price games. Does Sony decide that or the devs?
Devs. I was gonna play it soon but there’s no plat so I’m putting it in the back for now. Finish a couple quick games then might try to 100% it anyway before the new ps plus launches.

Apparently they had a plat for the game (in 3 I think) and then removed it.

Speaking of trophies. Syphon filter is getting them. Be neat if other ps1/2/psp games got trophies.

Not that it matters since I've pretty much 100%ed the game. But I've noticed that you basically only get 1 upgrade for FF7 remake to the PS5 version. So if you used it on the physical version you can't use it on the PS Plus version.

Also, for those who got Furi on PS Plus however many years ago. The new PS5 version is free. This ones an indie so not a lot of commotion but I recommend it to those who didn't play it the first time. It was my goty 2016

Any recommendations on how to get a PS5 without paying extra for it?

I’ve tried signing up for the chance to buy one on Sony and “won” twice, but every time I went to checkout it said sold out.

I've heard some people have had success with the inventory checkers , I got mine thru an email from gamestop advising bundles were about to drop

Do bundles count as extra? A lot of bundles last about 10 min. Use HotStock/Twitter accounts to follow ps5 stocks

I have zero idea how they can enforce this? The fact that they would punish you for getting keys other than PSN is baffling. So if I bought a 12 month in person at a Gamestop, it's worth less? Yeah sure...

That smells like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.

There's a twitter account - "PS5 in stock" or something like that that sends out announcements as soon as any of the major retailers have stock and sometimes even in advance. I subscribed to that twitter and turned on push notifications so it came through to my phone immediately. They alerted me to an upcoming Walmart drop and gave very detailed instructions on when to sign on, what to click, what all the options would look like etc.

Very similar to how I got mine.

A Twitter account said Walmart was going to have them at 2:00 or whatever it was. I signed on, tried to buy one, but said they were sold out and to check back in 10min. It did that for like an hour. I gave up and then checked back with the Twitter account another hour later and they said it was still going and more people were having success as people were getting theirs/giving up. Signed back onto Walmart, sure enough, added one to my cart, checked out, and done.

Crazy to believe that was over a year ago and the shortage is still going.

List of games for the new ps plus
By the way, this list solidifies my belief that SIE literally forgot that they remastered Spiderman 1. They have both versions of Miles Morales but only the 30 fps PS4 version of Spiderman. I'm thinking its beause its not on the store and only a deluxe edition add-on.

Also, the Days of Play sale going on right now is truly horrible. One of the worst sales I've seen.

That list is essentially a handful of games to get headlines, the games already in the PS+ collection, games that have been given out monthly on PS+ over the last year, and a bunch of games I've never heard much about. It's still worth it for me because of the headliners and maybe a few others, though.

Kind of shitty to break up the Batman trilogy between the tiers and The Last of Us is only on the top tier even though it's already on the PS+ collection? Luckily I've already played it and don't really have any desire to replay, but still. Kind of shitty.

The link goes to a blog post from 2015.
Lol, yep, thats what tipped me off to it being a fake. The account is a fake account mimicking a real news aggregator account, so it fooled a lot of people.

edit: It changed. The account was faking being Nibel yesterday.

Interesting month. Would have liked to see something other than GOW since it is so readily available. But I get it, got to build some hype;
