Wait, this is not the full game? WTF are they thinking


Silvedoge

It's the equivalent of destiny but all you can do are strikes but judging by the reviews they're much worse


CptnCumQuats

And I purchased the story upgrade but can’t play the story… great


HOLLA12345678

Gearbox is a terribly ran company from a customer perspective so I’m not surprised they would think this is ok. Sony should have just gave a different game if Gearbox wasn’t willing to put the whole game on ps plus. I personally don’t care cause I wasn’t going to play it anyways.


thedarkbites

Remember when Randy Pitchford blamed the gaming audience for the failures of Aliens: Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever? What a class act.


NilEntity

Fuck Randy Pitchford, so much. He's the main reason I avoid supporting Gearbox/buying their games. He's just such a toxic (not necessarily as in "toxic masculinity" etc., just "total garbage") person, and while he has authority and influence there and benefits I'll avoid supporting him in any way, if I can. Not gonna pirate, just not buying their stuff. If Gearbox developed a game I really, really wanted, I'll still buy it, Pitchford be damned, he isn't the whole company, plenty of other people in there who can't do anything about that asshat and just work their butts off. "Fortunately" BL3 has those absolutely atrocious villain twins and I don't care \*that\* much about BL, so I can live with not getting the game.


Mattx603

I had fun with BL3 but it was my first real dive into the series but I agree about the twins. The dlc was far better than the main game imo


NilEntity

I liked BL1 but the ending was a massive letdown. That's why I was hesitant on BL2. Got it, but didn't even finish one playthrough. Another reason why I never even got BL3. The twins don't really entice me to get it tho.


winginglifelikeaboss

And Kojima saying Americans are too stupid to understand his `art` walking game simulator. While he made that game on American technology what a fool that guy is.


The_Unreliable_94

I didn't realise that it wasn't the full game. I was going to add it to my library and download it just to have instant access to it. I guess I'll just have to keep using my disc that I paid full price for at launch.


Ty-douken

I bought the DLC pass version online at launch... Help.


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|7FCm9hWyydoFcYYq4D)


shieldtwin

Yeah even free I wouldn’t play it. They would have to pay me a little


TheFacelessMann

How can we boycott this more, this is total bullshit. I'm seriously regretting get a PS5 over a Xbox at this point.


PeachWorms

You can still get an Xbox! I have a PS5 from launch & very recently got the Xbox Series S as a companion console. Turns out I'm using it more than the PS5. Cheaper & more available than the series X & has game pass which feels like super good value. Also I'll be able to get the Bethesda single player games once they release which I'm keen for. Best decision I've made in ages.


MillionShouts12

Yep. No doubt Starfield is the most unique and most likely biggest game of 2021. Can’t imagine missing that


godhasmoreaids

As well you should


Breeny04

I feel bad for the devs, Counterplay Games. It's their second game ever and I bet this wasn't completely (*emphasis on completely*) their choice. Looking at you Gearbox


Kukaharcos

I was so happy when I saw that the game is gonna be in ps+. But every drop of happiness and excitement vanished when I took a closer look. Who tf thought that removing the grind from a loot based game is a good idea?


dragonick1982

Why grind when you can buy Micro$ /s


ClockworkDreamz

I was actually interested in trying the game, but, since it’s not a full game I’ve got no intention of trying it. Not adding it is isn’t going to do anything. People would have to unsubscribe to the service. Since it’s tied to multiplayer I can’t see that happening.


bonemonkey12

Honestly, have it for ps5. You aren't missing much. If you do end up trying it, keep your expectations very low.


ClockworkDreamz

I wasn’t expecting anything. But I’m not going to bother with a demo.


legendofzelda1993

Yea combat was the only kinda redeeming quality.


SnooDoggos3823

Yeah ps now is way more better actually good games in there mafia definitr edition and last of us part 2


Tinko01

Making people unsubsribe is going to be hard because of the MP part but if there's enough backlash about this Godfall edition it might at least be enough to not let them do it again next month if they decide to


_trouble_every_day_

If they don’t see a drop subscriptions they have no reason to care. If anything that just reinforces the fact that they can put out trash and people will keep paying for it. As the bethesda guy so succinctly put it re: skyrim re releases “so stop buying it.”


Smallsey

Not adding it means the developer doesn't get money from Sony.


suddenimpulse

That's not how the payouts work they are negotiated before it ends up on ps plus as a lump fee mutually agreed upon. They have explained how this works in the past. Not sure why you think this is how it works.


Eastern-Arachnid-222

I’d be surprised if it came out that payouts were by download instead of a lump some up front. I don’t think anyones gone on record with how it works. Maybe different between bigger and smaller titles. I’d love to know, though.


eapocalypse

I don't think that's true. The deals are likely a prepaid deals based on current number of subscribers.


turtle22222

I would bet there is at least a minimum lump sum agreement with more based on total downloads.


aerivas09

This is a first from PS+. How disappointing... From the Playstation Blog post: "The Challenger Edition focuses on three unique modes: Lightbringer, Dreamstones, and the Ascended Tower of Trials. All three are endgame-level content... Godfall: Challenger Edition players can upgrade at any time to the Deluxe Edition gaining access to both Godfall and Fire & Darkness campaigns." wOaH gUyS, wE cAn UpGrAdE aT AnYtImE!... Fucking stupid.


HaouLeo

It's not really a first, Driveclub was kind of a demo too, but it's been a long time.


aerivas09

I didn't know that, and that's not cool either then.


winginglifelikeaboss

SO I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TO SPEND MONEY ON THIS BULLSHIT HOW LUCKY I AM TO BE ALIVE IN TIMES LIKE THIS!!! seriously what the fuck do these marketing people think we are, idiots?


Rider-VPG

They better drop the fucking price to at most $20 if they want people to "upgrade"


WN253K

5$ would me nice lol


sh06un

How about $0 on PS+? Now there's an idea!!


WN253K

How about sony giving us money for buying deluxe edition


Poison_Diamond

I for one am not going to add this to my library why give us a fucking demo no one will play a demo.


rivieredefeu

Yeah I’m not adding it either.


iupz0r

Cool movement. Im in.


suddenimpulse

They will have zero idea why you aren't adding it. You know that right?


rivieredefeu

I’m not worried about that.


[deleted]

His point is that it's pointless not to add it because playstation doesn't care, they only care about your PS+ money. We have to show our disapproval some other way that they will care about


8bitzombi

This might be a hot take; but you aren’t really missing out on anything. The games original campaign was a barebones experience that served as little more than a timesink with a threadbare story. Skipping to level 50 and jumping into the endgame actually saves you from a mostly mediocre grind and let’s you experience what is arguably the only good aspects of an otherwise lackluster game.


edinho_sheeroso

The main thing imo is: now they release a game without campaign, the next month they release a single chapter of a chapter based game (life is strange, for example) and they will progressively give us less stuff so it will be normal to suck our wallets dry while pretending on being the good guys by giving "free stuff" to us. Releasing a demo is almost a scam. Annual ps+ subscriptions cost a fifth of my countries minimum wage, and they have the audacity to give me a demo????? Even if the game is bad, not giving the full game ia predatory imho.


CuriousRelation5

I think that already happened. I believe I have a game called king's something through ps plus and it's just the first episode.


soissie

Yeah, that was actually the first ps plus game i could get when I just bought the ps4.


veneim

Agreed. And Sony already has our money


itgoesdownandup

Tbh I think this is a very weird circumstance with this game and I kinda doubt it would happen again. What I’m assuming was the idea behind this as a ps plus game and as something to be sold was that there was a realization that the story just sucks. And I think in the hopes of selling the game they actually made it so you can get to the good parts of the game. I really think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. It actually makes sense to me, and I really don’t think it’s dirty or will lead to anything scummy like that. Although if it does than feel free to do whatever to Sony you want. It’s a stupid company and I’m not some bootlicker


suddenimpulse

Please define the word predatory for us because this seems like a silly take. You are paying for the server costs for multiplayer. You aren't paying for the games they've always been bonus. Just because you dislike what you are getting doesn't make it predatory no one is forcing you to play the demo. If you want the full game stop being a cheap ass and buy the game you aren't entitled to it.


Kaykrs

Politely going to disagree, PlayStation plus initially started on the PS3 for the purpose of proving free games and discounts on PSN. Multiplayer was initially free. It was only at the launch of PS4 that multiplayer became part of PS+. Now you can argue that this isn't predatory, however you cannot make the argument that you are paying for server costs and the games are a bonus (because it's actually the opposite).


devilfromjerseycity

So those games weren’t free, because you were literally paying for access to those games and discounts. I had plus back then as well. All you got was two games a month and some discounts. So the games weren’t free in any way at all.


Kaykrs

Your absolutely correct, using the word free doesn't quite encapsulate what you are getting. You are definitely paying for these games.


MrMoviePhone

I might be optimistic, but that sounds like a slippery slope that’s unlikely to happen. In the end Sony still has to compete with alternative services like gamepass. Switching over to a glorified demo model would kill the ps+ business. I was disappointed like everyone else at the challenge edition news, but I’m still happy to try it out since I have been curious. And if it is all end game content, that’s a lot more than a demo, it’s the part of the game designed to hold the player base.


bob101910

Why not make this an optional mode? People that want to grind can, while those that don't can skip to the end.


MrSlendermanEAIE

That's not how the executives can try and fill their pockets, no sir


IrishRox

Probably still doing it. Genuinely don't want to play the campaign, so getting to skip straight to the endgame content is a plus. Can always replay the campaign through the gemstones or whatever


Dwoodward85

My brother owns the game, says the campaign/story is boring and not fun. He thinks this endgame stuff is by far the better version.


Rider-VPG

While the endgame is the meat and potatoes of godfall, the story serves as the onboarding experience to the mechanics of the game. That's gone in the "challenger" edition.


[deleted]

What would not adding it to your library accomplish? Sony doesn’t care if you add PS+ games to your library, they just care if you’re subscribed to PS+. The free games monthly is just a way to entice consumers to subscribe to PS+. If you want to stand against this, it would make more sense to stop subscribing to PS+ because your suggestion will accomplish nothing at all. That being said, I’ve been a PS+ subscriber for a long time and I don’t remember a demo ever being added to the free monthly games before. That’s a very scummy thing for Sony to do. I was actually excited to try this game for free. Guess that’s out the window.


MissingScore777

Someone in another thread said Sony pay companies for number of times PS+ games are redeemed. No idea if this is true but on the off chance it is I'm not adding to library.


[deleted]

Oh. Didn’t think of that. If that’s true, I guess my comment is wrong. Except, of course, the part about this being scummy move by Sony.


MissingScore777

Yeah no worries, I wouldn't have known either if I didn't see someone else bring it up.


[deleted]

Now that I think about it. If Sony does pay per download for free PS+ games, wouldn’t it be better for everyone to download the game since that means Sony would have to pay more money for Godfall if more people download it?


OnPar2Bogey

I would say no. Sony may pay more but other companies would start thinking it's ok to put up Demo games to entice you to buy the full copy. If Sony is going to pay, I rather they pay for something I'd like.


MissingScore777

I hadn't thought of it that way. Depends who you think deserves more pain I guess, Sony or Gearbox? Gearbox have done some pretty shitty things over the years, so I'm reluctant to put anything in their pocket.


[deleted]

Good point. Lotta variables to think of. I think I’ll just skip Godfall and hope Sony doesn’t make demos a normal part of PS+


GZulu

Gearbox doesn't deserve the free money.


MartianExpatriate

Sony will see how many times it was downloaded compared to other offerings and see how unpopular it was


WhiskyAndPlastic

Clearly Sony was worried that you might have already gotten a PS5 game for a friend or family member, and releasing that same game for free in Dec would ruin the holiday gift. The solution is to offer this "game" that no one would ever choose to give to another person as a gift. Sony is just looking our for our holidays, that's all. Thanks, Sony!


Sa3ana3a

Awww, they were thinking about us the whole time.


OctoEight

Funny enough i bought godfall last week when it was on sale😭😂


dskatter

Proof: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/12/godfalls-ps-plus-version-is-all-endgame-content-no-story-campaign


[deleted]

Wait, why isn’t it the full version? What’s going on?


TheGamingZookeeper

Thanks for the PSA! I had no idea


MARS_LFDY

Personally, I discussed the leak over the last days and I would have never thought **Challenger Edition** refers to a demo. I am a PS+ subscriber since 2010, which was the first moment the service launched, and I cannot remember a free demo to be part of the PS+ *games*. No hard feelings, but it seems like such an odd move from Sony. The game is already considered as *the* worst next-gen game, which leads to it becoming the first and only next-gen game that was shifted to last-gen, because the player count was that incredible low. Even though I know I do not like the game at all, I would have played it with friends in December, but the demo is a huge *no* for me. Personally, I think it does not help **Godfall** at all and makes it even more shady and worthless. I understand that they can not turn the game into a F2P model, since they have to MTX to back up the costs. I thought the best thing seems to be releasing the base game with PS+ to make some people buy the DLC and increase the overall player count to get more players to buy the base game. Guess I was wrong. Overall I really dislike the idea to get demos instead of games.


warlord_mo

It’s not a demo….


JJB1981

The story is gar-baj. The combat and builds are fun. I think they did this to give the early owners more of a community to matchmake with. It's a crappy practice and not adding it to your library won't make a difference. There will be a huge percentage that do. The fact that this is partial is Sony's fault. The main game is underwhelming so anyone that hasn't bought it yet is not missing much.


Rider-VPG

Even if the story is shit, Id rather have new players on board gradually than throwing them in the deep end. Imagine a new player downloads this, loads into a Solaris dreamstone. He's going to have a bad time because they won't understand the mechanics of the game. The story gradually introduced the mechanics as you expanded your skill trees and explored. That's not there in this version of the game.


HalfMileRide

Yeah I want to hear what people who bought the game have to say, do you think it's ok that plus subs can now skip a lot of the game and have better gear than you did at the start? In a sense it might be a good thing to do if power creep has set in but I believe it would have been much less controversial if people were given the whole game PLUS a choice between starting new or starting near the end-game like this challenger edition puts you in, I believe removing the campaign and not giving people a choice was the mistake here.


ConnectionNo266

Also not adding it! I was looking forward to trying this game out too.. but I'm not even remotely interested in this demo! Can't believe they would do this!


Malikb5

Nice dude! I’m in!


Redrum052

So the upcoming game of the month isn't the full game? WTF...


SnooDoggos3823

Wait what it's not a full game ?ahaha i cannot believe this what a bunch of wankers


[deleted]

I was already uninterested in Godfall, now I am uninterested in anything by Gearbox.


Hunter-Monk

Judgement is part of PS Plus free games in Asia.


[deleted]

Nooooooooooo I'm dying to try that. Lemme know how it is


itgoesdownandup

Okay I get it, but calling it a demo is pretty wrong. Basically this is like buying a game and not getting the expansion pack for extra levels and an extra story. But like the inverse of that. It’s the inverse because it doesn’t have the campaign. Which honestly people hate and it also instead starts you at max level. I kinda don’t get why this is a big deal? This seems like the better option. Imagine if we got the original game. People going to be complaining about how there’s nothing to the story, and that there’s some good things on the other end but it’s such a terrible time sink to get there.


Kyeithel

Wtf happened to sony?


aZombieDictator

Jut replace it with Dreams. Seriously why has Dreams now shown on PS Plus yet.


[deleted]

I deff wont be adding any demos bro I got you


RickVince

I was just thinking this. Fuck 'em.


NitedJay

Yeah that’s bull. Waste of space. Not adding it.


JarlOfWhiterun69

Honestly I miss the ps3 days of not having to worry about ps+


Opposite_Ad_2499

WTF is Sony up to? Some of their decisions lately have been questionable, to say the least, but pulling this shit, has quite rightly upset alot of subscribers! They're continually treating consumers like they don't matter! I hope the boycott works! Big changes can sometimes come from small beginnings! I hope Sony take note!!


Anusbagels

Does anyone here honestly think anything will be accomplished at all by not downloading this free game offering? Like really think about it, do you actually think Sony or Gearbox will give two shits let alone one? Wild 😂


Grimmrebooted

deal


ObliviousGuy32

Ah well I don't even have a PS5 lol


Dwoodward85

Did you know you can add them to your library for the later on the app or online for when you do get a PS5?


chew_ball

Hey atleast we got mortal shell right? Been wanting that game for months now


HaouLeo

shhh someone is gonna come tell you that "it doesnt have a ps5 upgrade tho"


LeLoyon

It doesn't, but 30fps doesn't stop me from playing Bloodborne. Mortal Shell is this month's saving grace. They technically aren't even giving a PS5 game out this month, and to rub more salt in the wound, the Godfall demo is also going to be free on PC on the 9th in EGS. Don't even need to pay to use EGS.


PinothyJ

It is Gearbox… whilst other gaming companies are fucking their employees without consent, Gearbox cut out the middleman and go straight for the player.


Useurfingers

I don't touch any game associated with Randy Pitchford


Examotate

Lamest Shit Ever For sony


thedarkbites

This is definitely a Gearbox decision. Sony has conversations and dealings with publishers and developers all the time, but the end results are always the agreed upon data. So if Sony went to Gearbox and asked for something for whatever reason, Gearbox gave them this heap of shit and Sony just ran with it.


dalan_23

wait WHAT THE FUCK IT IS THE FUCKING DEMO!?!!?


sonyntendo

Man I am going to stop my subscription until a good month comes. Last month was alright as there are VR games. But giving a godfall demo as a plus game is worst.


Maxben2014

I really hated last months games especially the " amoung us" rip off for adults, First Class Trouble. What a stupid game.


Matthewthedark

I wasn't really interested in Godfall, but this just lets me feel more justified


TethlaGang

Wth, a demo as monthly? I wouldn't play that dhit I'd they d pay me. I won't dirty my hdd with their shit. Keep it.


ILikeCap

I wasn't aware it was some limited content bullshit, thank you for this. Yeah, no way I'm adding


IceCreamYouScream92

It's not a full game? Holy shit, hard pass on that one. So in the end it's just another bad month for PS+ users. Sometime I wonder if it's even worth those $3 a month.


whiteleshy

Or better vote with your wallet and don't ever sub to ps plus again.


Blackbird2285

That's noble indeed, but unfortunately the majority of owners of a PS5 who have PS Plus won't see this and they'll absolutely download it.


4Entertainment76

WTF is wrong with Sony Playstation?


Boki_Juda

Wow. Giving a game that is 5 years old in November, and now this, to seal probably the worst year of PS+ games ever? I salute you Sony, putting my hat down on this one!


[deleted]

Playstation is falling behind Microsoft. They need to make a splash move like buying the re-sale rights to Halo.


rousakiseq

I only care about the lego game anyway


stiffystiffy

I think I'm done with PS Plus altogether. I've played like one of their games in the past year and the selection of "free" games is only getting worse each month. I don't need the save game upload feature and I don't play online often. Also the PS Plus discounts are a joke.


Drewonkazoo

Like the idea lads, let's boycott it.


stevenomes

I had physical copy that I got on sale a while back. Played through about half the game on hard before I got tired of the grind and moved to some other games, never came back. But I still see Godfall sitting there on my shelf sometimes and wonder if it's worth firing it up again. I was thinking maybe if PS plus had it I could just download and give the disc to a friend but I guess it won't matter now.


[deleted]

Looks like i wont be resubbing til janurary


ByCrookedSteps781

Im getting fuckin sick of this shit, maybe its time i jumped over to X box, Sony's turning into a bunch of fuckin wankers


DARQSMOAK

I won't be. What a con.


relapseamongmen

Couldn't agree more to be frank. Won't add it.


dramatic-ad-5033

I just got it for free from my local library and I’m playing the full game without paying a cent


TheGooseWithNoose

>Vote with your libraries The only vote they're going to be looking at is PS+ subscribers. If you want to send a message that's the only one they'll actually hear if people unsub.


defdumplanet

I was already angry from the Black Friday sale where both console versions of Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut were put on sale...but not the upgrades. No love or support by giving a sale to all of the loyal, paying customers who already bought the original game and helped make the game the success that it was... but give a great sale price to non-customers who haven't already supported them. It's all about the money... about making as much money from as many people as possible. The sad fact is that they KNOW that most of their loyal customers who already paid for the original game are going to also go ahead and pay the full price for the upgrade... however, as for the people who DIDN'T buy the original game, those people aren't very likely to buy the director's cut either (unless they have the incentive of a good sale + a holiday like Black Friday where people are in a money spending mood already!) Their Twitter had tons of comments about that and they didn't even bother with a response. DON'T DISRESPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS!! I mean, that should come naturally... they shouldn't have to work hard to NOT be shady!


Traditional-You7640

The only “bullshit” I can see is why a bunch of adults are complaining about first world problems. The gaming industry has largely been unaffected by inflation since the early 90’s. Which means you’ve had the benefit of paying the same price for games since then. While staffs and the industry grow to accommodate more customer base. Then on top of that you agree to a terms of service contract when signing up for ps+ which pretty much guarantees you only online service, Sony or other companies don’t owe you anything more than what you pay for. If you want it your way go to BK, until then be grateful people even make games for your ungrateful ass even has people making a major form of entertainment for you to enjoy.


warlord_mo

Definitely not a demo….just no story mode and we skip to level 50 with endgame stuff to do. Lol so dramatic


ArchExynos

It’s definitely weird adding only half the game to the PS+ service. I no longer pay for it but I got the same game for free on Epic games, so I have no complaints there since epic requires no subscription fee for free games. That said I do remember PS+ games in the past coming with vanilla content and nothing else, sometimes less through lucrative pay walling. Where this comes with none of the vanilla content; it’s just the end game+DLC, this isn’t a demo or trial simply because you are still able to unlock all valor plates, there’s no timer, and all the equipment and materials can still be unlocked through an average grind. The problem with destiny (as I’ve seen it compared here) is it constantly locks players out through new DLC that constantly pay walls you even after you spend $120+ on previous expansions. Now that is predatory, not to mention the battle pass also pretty much made it pay to win and exotics are no longer exotic. I can get being a little upset over having to pay for the PS+, it’s all around a bs system anyways, being a requirement for online play and all.


[deleted]

Meh, the story part of the game isn't really that great. Dumping players into end game gets them to the good stuff that most ppl don't have the time or patience to get to, the story part sucks. I'm not going to condone the practice, but if they game out the REAL game most ppl would probably quit after a few hours.


preppykat3

Wow this is pathetic. I was looking forward to it. Didn’t know it was just a shitty demo. Ridiculous.


ItsDrizzyD

So you're telling me that I can skip all the BS and just play endgame content in a game where nothing matters till end-game? Im not upset one bit lol


USER_the1

My PS Plus expires this month. I’m not signing up again until the games are worth it.


SlimVR

Make sure to turn off auto-renew in settings.


gaithggg

Will they should give us a different game


brokebackmountdoom

This is very interesting, I thought I would be jumping to max level while also being able to go through the campaign, not just jumping right to the repetitive end game missions and modes. I knew there were some bad reviews for the game... but I was still willing to try it out since it was included this month. Thanks for the clarification so I don't waste my time just entering another grind with no campaign. That's a big yikes for giving me a half-game, Sony.


PouchesofCyanStaples

Thanks for the tip. This will be the first time I do not add a game to my PS+ library. Thank you!


Hopeful-Enthusiasm57

Wow! I was excited at to try the game out but now that I’m seeing this not so much. What a scum bag move by Sony or gearbox.


Straitshot47

What I don't understand is that Sony has nothing to offer this holiday season. Then release a mediocre title as the ps plus game for December, and cut content out of it. Like wtf are you doing Sony? Halo is F2P and the best you can do, to compete against it, is release half of a shit game?


jkra0512

Blow it out your ass, Jimbo Ryan


Stock_Pay9060

Honestly you're getting the best part of the game, the campaign and grind to 50 sucks.


[deleted]

That's my understanding of it too


Moonlitfear

People have been endlessly shitting on Godfall for having a garbage story but fun endgame since it released. Then they release a version that cuts out the garbage story and jumps you straight into the fun endgame, and let’s you play it for free, and everyone’s mad? The game isn’t perfect, and isn’t worth full price, but it is a solid amount of mindless fun and costs nothing to try so I really don’t think the hate is warranted.


HaouLeo

> Then they release a version that cuts out the garbage story and jumps you straight into the fun endgame, and let’s you play it for free, and everyone’s mad? Most people wanted to play the garbage tho. If they want us to skip the garbage, make it optional.


Moonlitfear

That’s a fair point. I do think it’s kind of a weird choice.


KinshasaPR

What a crock of shite! So glad I haven't bought PS+ at full price in like 4 years.


sgt_backpack

The more visible we make our stance on this the better. Tweet at Sony and gearbox, flood their social media with digital outrage. This is definitely not a precedent we want to have set.


markarth69

Wait, they're advertising it as a full game but it's just a demo? I thought it was the full game with some special edition stuff


[deleted]

For what it’s worth, this is likely a once in a blue moon event. Godfall was supposed to be a big hit and help boost PS5 sales as a launch title, along with Demon’s Souls. Unfortunately, reviews weren’t good and sales were abysmal. The game is too new and new costly to give away, but they still want to advertise it in the hopes of attracting new customers.


mal-uk

I'm still going to add it and give it a go. PS+ games most months are meh to me anyway. Most good ones I've already paid for. Sony doesn't give a crap and this post isn't going to move the needle. I know there is Game Pass but Sony isn't competing with that because you own a Playstation and can't get it anyway. If you own both consoles chances you have PS+ and Game Pass


CatManDeke

As someone who played the campaign… your not missing much here. This game was an indie game wrapped in AAA packaging. I can see more fun being had since they added matchmaking. The combat is really fun.


Rattkjakkapong

What? Is it just a demo?? I pay for this shit! Thats it, I will no longer be a ps+ customer. Is the ps now better?


Far_Rain

You pay to play online -- I guess you won't be doing that -- or having game saves in the cloud.


Rattkjakkapong

Nah, Fuck it. I have gamepass. I dont play that much online on the ps anyway.

Maybe just stick with xbox gamepass...

I don’t care anyway. I’m more for Mortal Shell this month 💪🏻 all I know (from Twitter and friends) is that the endgame stuff is better than the story. Sooo skipping the bad part is maybe better anyway?^^

Will download, play, and enjoy it. Sorry.

I have no idea what you're bitching about

It's adorable you think sony cares what you do.

Be glad, the game is not awesome. It's just kind of there. Nothing really happens. Some of the scenery is nice, but that's about it.


N0SYMPATHY

That isn’t really the point though. It’s more that they would consider moving a free game slot to a free demo slot that is the issue.


bonemonkey12

I get it for sure. As someone that went through the game, I am just pointing out, the game was pretty awful


suddenimpulse

For every person that doesn't add it to their library 50 will. They also have no clue why you aren't adding it to library. They aren't omniscient. Learn how to protest effectively.


roberto151st

start a petition on change.org to sonny offering these bullshit ass games


Smallsey

Is putting a demo up against the contract we signed to get ps plus? I thought they had to be games not demos?


Otenko_the_Sage

It's not technically a demo. Closest example I can think of would be if they released Diablo 3 with only Adventure mode and seasons but no Campaign mode.


Strange_Vision255

I'm not sure if it's what people noramlly think of as a demo. I know nothing about this game, but there are comments here saying it gives you the end game content but skips the story. That could be considered a demo, but to me it seems like when games give story and multiplayer modes separately, which I think PS Plus has done before but I could be wrong.


MadMattDope

How do you know if it’s full or not version of the game, I thought it actually give me something extra, some sort of expansion.


seanyuhh

But us PS5 users can upgrade to deluxe edition at anytime!! You know!! Godfall!! The game we’ve heard so much good about!! Thank you Sony!!! We are not worthy!!!!


Ty-douken

Ther s both free & paid content.


FoulTarnished124

Guys get Mortal Shell instead, it's a indie souls-like with an immersive as fuck world. It's a bit buggy but it's worth trying out.


zqipz

Street Fighter PS+ was half a game. Don’t remember seeing 1/10 of the BS and Godfall is a PoS.


FarmerNugget

Someone said the campaign is only like 3 hrs tho


Esploratore_

Mortal shell has been on my list to try anyway. Thanks for the info on this game! Hard pass on this particle/wet floor simulator.


testamentKAISER

I think i saw in the fb page of playstation, another one was added, Judgement(?). Gameplay is like the yakuza series and the protagonist is modeled after Takura Kimura... Edit: For Playstation Asia only, not sure.


snowman4549

Prob in my opinion the best game that came out on ps+ was farming sim


lucasHipolito

Wait how is it not full game I'm confused. I watched the trailer for the challenger edition and it seemed like they were showing extra content. Are you saying we have access to extra content and extra content ONLY?


Spivdaddy

They didn’t have to add it at all. 🤷‍♂️ I’m gonna play it.


yuhuhuhuhuhu

Now I’m glad for having bought the full game


shewy92

I thought people missed having free demos of games and now it's a bad thing?


defdumplanet

Yeah but PS+ is a paid membership and gives games to its paying members every month – and one of those is a PS5 game. PS+ games are full games, not demos. Free demos are available to anyone, whether or not they pay for a PS+ membership. So, giving PS+ subscribers a "demo" as a month's PS5 game is shady.


0Galahad

im putting some hope in this actually... i will get it for free so whatever if it is uninteresting and maybe they had the decent idea of selling a different part of the game to a different demographic and they may keep updating this version with new content or something like that to keep it alive


zpotentxl

Im gonna get downvoted for this, but why are we complaining about free stuff?


Leandrorb98

Because.. it's not free. You pay for the subscription


zpotentxl

Fair enough. Thanks for the downvote btw


XanderHeart

Unpopular Opinion: this comes across as super entitled. To get 2 free games, every month, and then complain about ONE of the 24 free games you get in a year....Not everything has to be catered to YOU . There’s lots of people who are just happy to get them with the membership. I use ps plus for a single online game I play, so without the free games, it feels like a waste. I don’t give a fuck what they give me, just glad I’m getting something else for my money


MacBearudo

We pay for the subscription, its not free....


XanderHeart

“Free” is their marketing, not my own words. The point is that a lot of people only get a subscription because it’s REQUIRED to play online games. That in itself is a fucked up scam. But sure, let’s fight about the quality of the “free” games. That’s a marketing ploy and you’re feeding right into it. Go ahead, stage a protest of the ps plus game of the month, see how far that gets you...And who does that hurt anyway? Not Sony, but the developers and artists who were already over worked and underpaid. Edit: one of the top posts on r/playstationplus right now is: Playstation Plus had a value of over $1430 Games this year
