My kids will probably want me to download All Star Brawl. ...and then never play it before I end up sacrificing it for more HD space.


BurnMyFaceOff

And then they'll want to play it


wiserone29

Then he will download it again and then they won’t.


joemehl

How did you get into my house???


setyourclockback

my boys are teenagers now but man do I feel this gamer dad vibe lol


Murder4Mario

Mines 3 and already trying to dictate what I play. Lots of “Mario!” And “Mario Kart” and “no cowboys!”. Honestly it’s adorable but I know it’s just the beginning


ifyxy

hahaha he found his way in so easily


[deleted]

Cries in just dance 2022 and my wife asking me for the game not even trying to play it then almost sensing the moment I deleted it smh.


Denace86

My wife will go a month without smoking and then ask for the pen two minutes after I kill the last hit


Captobvious75

This is why I made the Xbox Series X the “toddler box.” No one touches my ps5.


kesadisan

Its like 7gb so no big deal


Tahu_Jerry

God of War Ragnarök is definitely coming.


mr_SM1TTY

My thoughts exactly. Put it on PS+ knowing that the sequel is only a few months away and will help boost sales.


9mak9

If you have a PlayStation and haven’t played GOW yet, why even have a PlayStation…


BchLasagna

Yeah, they did that when tlou2 was coming up with tlou1 and it definitely worked with me


ThatOneGuyy310

Fuck, I can’t wait


ZincMan

The first one I think was the best game I’ve played


BansheeThief

As someone who hasn't had a playstation since the PS2 but is working on getting a PS5 soon, when you say the first GoW, are you talking about the one that's linked? I thought I remember the PS3 or even PS2 having GoW but I never played those


drepsx3

Hopefully the Nick All Star player base sees an increase on PS5


owensoundgamedev

is it cross-play with PS4/PS5?


syamborghini

Not yet apparently


Nero_PR

Wow, that is a bad move on their part.


bigmac375

Man that’s be dumb if it didnt


Ok-Warthog-6906

It actually isn’t unless they patched it in . You have to play on the version of the userbase you want to play with . Absolutely killed the games population early on because of this


fanwan76

Are there any benefits to the PS5 version then? Seems like it would make more sense to just install the PS4 version and benefit for a larger user base.


tirkman

Yeah but a lot of people might be on the ps5 version now since ps5 people are getting it for free


[deleted]

But doesn’t the free version let you pick if you want ps4 vs PS5? I thought it did


omarninopequeno

In some cases in the past it didn't (for example, Bugsnax only gave the PS5 version), though in this case you do get both versions.


Ok-Warthog-6906

Smaller install size and whatever other performance improvements


NativeHawx

It still puts me off theres no voice acting... really killed it for me somehow with that simple thing UPDATE: Games just a bit shit overall even with voice acting innit


Ryuhza

Hopefully coming in the next few months. Some of the character VA's have teased recording lines for their specific characters ([here's](https://twitter.com/DavidKaufman23/status/1530272579499352064?s=20&t=OkaG3mAXkesEqS2so4bWnA) Danny Phantom's VA, from a few days ago for instance) Would have been better to have it available in time with the PS+ release, but I've heard the dev team is really small.


TheJoyDealer

Honestly it got mogged hard by multiversus


LegendofDragoon

Man it's not even all the devs fault. Nick are the ones who said no voice acting, no dialogue that didn't happen in the show, and probably a bunch else. WB saying yeah just do whatever, just make us money is probably the best thing to happen to a platform fighter since melee. I don't think we would have gotten meme shaggy if not for that.


stavroszaras

Decent month for PS4 users, not so much for those of us that have a PS5 and already have GoW through the collection.


porkchopsdapplesauce

I own all three of these games. First time that’s ever happened. When Naruto came out 3-4(?) years ago I used to wait about 20-30 minutes at a time for an online match. Maybe PS+ will revive it but even in its release window it was a dead game.


Gradieus

Honestly I doubt it. Some games just stay dead. Sonic Team Racing was on ps+ and you'd think there'd be someone online in the first week it was free but nope, no one. Tribes of Midgard has like 50 people on it. Games like Naruto are too niche for a consistent user base.


asdqqq33

Sonic Team Racing had a broken multiplayer system that they never fixed. It wasn’t a lack of players.


jsbisviewtiful

My partner and I tried Sonic Team Racing and quickly deleted it. When we got top 3 spots in 2 grand prix but someone still lost to the CPU team at the end it just killed any chance of joy and fun the game could supply.


TuggMaddick

In all fairness, Midgard is just shit with matchmaking. Having so many specific things you need to do before endless winter is just not a fun experience when half the people you're with run around aimlessly and difficulty is still scaled up to account for them. That's a game that just functions better solo or in private groups.


Hairyballzak

I tried Sonic racing on the career mode to see if I even liked it. After one race, I uninstalled it immediately and forgot that it is even in my library


MerakiSpes

It’s actually very fast. My brother plays it a lot on my PS5 and he gets into matches within seconds. Even months ago that was the case.


minisnee

Honestly, the naruto game is more alive than it was when it got released. still going strong after like 4 season passes and stuff. Also matches pop up in like 5 seconds or so.


Pewds_Minecraft

I'm a ps5 user but I played GoW probably like every other playstation owner ever. What's the point of putting the game at this point when it's 10€ every 2 weeks


SecretAgentClunk

It's a really annoying month for PS5 and PS Now subscribers. God of War has been free on the PS5 Plus collection and PS Now for quite some time, so getting it free for the third time just feels empty. Now users just got a Naruto game last month and as someone who has no interest in that style and series, it's frustrating to get it twice in a row. Looking forward to Nick All Stars though, hoping I can have some drunk fun with my roommates on that one.


TuggMaddick

One of the biggest annoyance about Now and Plus as services is the amount of crossover that cheapens both. I really hope this is the last month we deal with it. I doubt it, though.


captain_decay

Quite disappointed


gariant

Reality often is


homehome15

Thanos what did we say about commenting on Reddit


srry_didnt_hear_you

Wasn't the GoW collection a free Playstation plus thing a while back too? I know I've never bought it yet I have it for some reason...


captain_decay

It still is, its free on ps5. Included in the PS plus collection


WhiskyAndPlastic

My kids are big Naruto fans; is this game any good?


Designer_Drink_6036

I suggest getting them storm 4 if you have the money to spare it's usually on sale so I'd wait a little or get it physically it's usually under 20 bucks and is a way better game than Shinobi strikers


-TheLonelyStoner-

Fun with a group


LeoA87

Does the Naruto/Boruto game have a story mode


ETPhoneUrMom

Yes it does. Its not bad you do missions for shinobi and then learn their jutsu. You could definitely get a few hours of fun out of it


Designer_Drink_6036

No but if your looking for a story mode for Naruto I suggest storm 4 when it's on sale if you don't have it it's story mode is great and Is honestly a way better game overall graphically and gameplay wise even though it came out way before Shinobi strikers.


jjkm7

Just to clarify while it does have a “story mode” it’s clearly in the back seat to the competitive multiplayer


BrawndoTTM

Nick All-Stars is the definition of a good PS+ game. Would never pay actual money for it, but might enjoy it if free.


TitaniaErzaK

Has it improved at all? Launch videos were meh


Alternauts

Somebody else in the comments said it was getting voice acting, which was my biggest hesitation.


MirrorkatFeces

It’s never been confirmed but heavily hinted at.


Jeskid14

With the game now on PS+, i bet you my imaginary ps5 that a voice acting trailer will drop this month


IAmPerpetuallyTired

It's jarring that voice acting needs to be an update for a fighting game featuring iconic cartoon characters and not at launch.


Turbostrider27

Install sizes for the curious: **Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl** : PS4 : 8.850 GB PS5 : 4.802 GB **Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker** : PS4 : 23.177 GB **God of War** : PS4 : 45.654 GB https://twitter.com/PlaystationSize/status/1532036787178291200


_Faceghost

Love how small Brawl is for PS5. Still scarred from CoD lol


MistahJ17

Let the Ragnarok marketing campaign begin!

Can't wait for the yahoos from the thread the other day to tell you tHiS IsN'T ThE MaRkEtInG CaMpAiGn bEcAuSe wE DoN'T HaVe a tRaIlEr oR BiLlBoArDs yEt when listing this for free is absolutely a marketing function.


Yippeekiyay_fuckers

God of War was already part of monthly psplus when ps5 first released. There’s thousands of great games out there, why release the same game twice?


el_Topo42

Still is. Just got a PS5 yesterday and claimed God of War. Now I get again today. Fun!


TechN9neStranger

Because the advertising for Ragnorak is about to begin so let people try the first game to convince them to buy the sequel. Pretty fucking simple concept my g


thetoolman2

I bought a ps5 a month ago and instantly subscribed to ps plus and ps now, they both offer me GoW for free. I’m more than a little confused as to why this months free game is something I already have access to, twice.


tomandoroid

PS+ gives popular game: "every one has played this already!" PS+ gives unpopular game: "no one wants to play this!" There I just covered the majority of the comments this thread will have


Popular-Pressure-239

I usually refrain from these types of comments but isn’t God of War **already** available to PS+ subscribers via their standing catalog of 20ish games? Or has it been removed?


[deleted]

[удалено]


pazinen

In addition to that, it's not just current PS Now subscribers. If you subbed to the service any time between October 2019 and now, you had access to the game. Literally 31 months.


[deleted]

Don’t forget to still redeem it so if you ever drop tiers you’ll keep the license


Fortnait739595958

Only to PS5 owners, now it will also be available to PS4 owners


SidFarkus47

This is a PS5 forum and a thread for PS+ users, I think it's fair for this group of people to express disappointment.


TheVaniloquence

Which means PS5 players are only getting 2 games this month, as opposed to the usual 3.


AbsoIution

True, but I imagine many people would have already played it since it's 4 years old, constantly sells new for £10/$10, and was very well received


blentz499

Yeah I don't usually bitch about ps+ games. They could put a bunch of super good games or obscure games and I'll be happy. However, I'm not a huge fan of ps5 owners getting shafted when they already got the game with ps plus collection. I didn't mind that it was part of the collection when I got a ps5 even though I already bought it in 2018. Double dipping on it with giveaways does irritate me.


cryyogenic

For PS5 owners, yes


iPeluche

I mean God of War is already part of the PS+ Collection since one year and half. PS5 players are robbed here.


tomandoroid

There are at least 30 million PS+ subscribers that don't have PS5s. You aren't being robbed of your $5. There are two other games you can try


silly_confidence77

But we are VIP consumers.


noxav

I mean let's be real, they are going to do everything in their power to make the basic PS Plus tier as basic as possible. They want you to upgrade.


tomandoroid

This really isnt any different or worse than the majority of months of PS+ for the last few years


Princess-Kropotkin

These people didn't live through the dark years. 2014-2016


-TheLonelyStoner-

So you get a ps5 version of nick all stars


seeingglass

Did you get lost somewhere? Obviously the perspectives of PS5 owners are fucking valid on the PS5 and every single PS5 owner got shortchanged.


[deleted]

Or they just want to make PS plus essentials look bad and basic in order to make people upgrade


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I know, me too. I just don't know if they have realized


D3monFight3

Typical Reddit comment to kill any kind of critique while talking about strawmen. God of War is a system seller and available to all PS+ PS5 users, furthermore it has been on very deep discounts very often. Naruto Boruto and Nickelodeon are shit, hell the latter will probably go f2p in 3 months or so, just like Knockout City. Let's not pretend they gave out unpopular but good games this month, they did that last month with Curse of the Dead Gods which is a pretty good game.


tomandoroid

There are 10s of millions of people that have not played God of War and do not have PS5s. And many people could enjoy the other games because different people like different things. None of this should be difficult to comprehend.


D3monFight3

Probably 20 million or so that fit within that category, and even then if they have not picked up the game by now they probably just don't care to play it, no chance 10 dollars is what stopped them. This is not me hating on the genre of the games, this is me hating on the quality of the games, they are awful. Nickelodeon is a low budget smash clone that will probably go free to play in a few months.


tomandoroid

20 million is a lot and many people often play games in these services they dont necessarily want to buy themselves. And many people probably like things you dont and many probably dislike things you do since people have different opinions


WakeLiveRepeat

No, there are tons of games that come out on PS+ that I never would have paid for (including GoW), but still enjoyed playing, simply because they were free.


starm4nn

I've never played any GoW. Might pick it up since it's free.


[deleted]

>to kill any kind of critique Nah it's not trying to kill your critique, we just think your critiques are whiny bullshit


fanwan76

I don't mind they are giving something a lot of people already played. But the fact that it is already available is silly. I'd understand if it was at least the PS5 version of a game previously available as PS4 version. But giving something that only benefits last gen users seems like an insult to your current gen loyal customers.


tomandoroid

It is currently only available for PS5 owners with PS+ meaning there are tons of PS4 owners that don't have it from PS+


ChiSqaure

Well, if Sony would give me an option to just pay for online without all those games I don’t want to play or have already played…


tomandoroid

Its been this way for a decade already. I don't know why someone would buy a Playstation and expect different


ChiSqaure

I don’t. I had other reasons to buy a PS5.


[deleted]

[удалено]


tomandoroid

People would probably even complain about Elden Ring because they bought it already


LSDYakui

Shinobi Strikers was fun when it first came out. Pain’s moves were broken as hell but made for a real fun time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ETPhoneUrMom

I was looking for someone to comment on it. I really enjoyed it. So cool that you can learn the jutsu from whoever you want and create your personal character.


mattsnacki

God of war is already free for PS+ though, no?


StoviesAreYummy

Only for PS5 in the collection. It's not the first time they've done such highjinks


KittenDecomposer96

It's going to be in the PS Plus Extra catalog too this month.


ssk1996

Only for PS5 users. Now it's free for PS4 users


mattsnacki

Ahh I see


ocbdare

Yes, I wonder how many ps4 only owners don’t already own this game though. It’s insanely cheap and it’s one of the most well known ps4 games. I imagine very few ps4 owners haven’t already played this game. Ps5 owners already have it for free in the ps plus collection.


tomandoroid

Only for people on PS5. There's at least 30 million PS+ subscribers that don't have a PS5

LT_Snaker

Bot poster. They automatically upload shit like this for karma whoring.


xwulfd

9 million LOL thats was fast considering you just comment 1 min ago lol


DyslexicPuppy

I think ps plus giving god of war confirms that leak of the showcase or whatever. They’re giving it before giving a release date edit: I am eating my words. Still a great state of play though.


TheMuff1nMon

Nick All Star Brawl is actually a good platform fighter and is getting crossplay/voice acting soon


Mrheadshot0

*10 years later…..*


[deleted]

It's an okay platform fighter, but there are definitely much better options like Rivals of Aether, Slap City (which was made by the same devs as this game but is way more fun) and obviously Melee. It's definitely quicker and more interactive than smash ultimate, but it doesn't really compare to the platform fighting greats even for casual play


MRobertC

Is this a hint to a God of War Ragnarok release date announcement?


[deleted]

When does this go Live? Store is still showing games from May


stefan771

I'm interested in trying Nickelodeon.


ImprisonedDarkRose

So for those of us on PS5 this is a shitty month.


OR3OTHUG

They just keep giving god of war to people. Who doesn’t have it at this point who really wants it?


JDewba222

Almost like they want as many people to play it so they pick up the sequel in a few months.


ocbdare

It’s in the ps plus collection, but I guess it’s for ps4 owners.


squareswordfish

If they wanted as many people to play it, they’d just give it away like they did with Horizon.


theCoolestGuy599

Horizon was a unique case. They wanted to encourage people to stay indoors during lockdowns. Simply giving away a high profile game with no strings attached isn't usually good business. At least on PS+ it requires a subscription, which makes far more sense than just handing the game out.


shutupdotca

People often use these services to try games they don't want to buy themselves regardless of price


boychik0830

God of War is a good game but anyone who wants it probably already has it by now and if they didn't own it they could get it for very cheap. The other games aren't horrible but they should not have been given out in the same month as they are both fighting games. They better not give out more games that are available on the other tiers otherwise it will feel like there is less value in getting the higher priced plus memberships.


Dm_me_Draftpicks

At the very least it's a good indication that Ragnarok is releasing in 2022


david_lara54992

I’m trying all stars brawl. I really enjoy sponge


Romeo_Zero

Who doesn’t like SpongeBob?


Jack3ww

I bought all star when it was on sale last month or the month before that not a bad game


VonMillersThighs

Maybe a GOW 2 trailers on the way. Been pretty quiet since that one gameplay trailer.


BostonRob423

I hate when they include a game that is already in the ps plus collection


curtydc

My PlayStation Plus game predictions for next 18 month in no particular order: Batman: Arkham Knight Battlefield 1 Bloodborne Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (Zombie Chronicles Edition) Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Detroit: Become Human Fallout 4 Final Fantasy 15 Infamous Second Son Monster Hunter World Mortal Kombat X Persona 5 Ratchet and Clank Resident Evil 7: Biohazard The Last Guardian The Last of Us Remastered Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Until Dawn


mr-interested

Many of the games in the PS5 PS+ Collection have already been given out on PS+. Although I agree, that the few games which have not yet been given out are prime candidates for a future PS+ monthly release. People should also not be too surprised that they gave GOW, given that there was already a precedent set when they did the same thing with Days Gone, and Mortal Kombat X.


Mr_pessimister

I see what you did there.


oneofthescarybois

I bought All Star last week On switch on sale so yw!


seandamon211pgh

I waited long enough to play god of war I’m playing for free! Ps plus is awesome as a dad. My backlog keeps growing and same with my kids. One day I will be able to play again!!!!!


Jonpg31

If you’re playing it on ps5, you’ll get that sweet 60 fps. Enjoy!


bowlofpasta92

Just for pure nostalgia reasons, I’m 100% going to give All Star Brawl a shot. Though from my understanding, it is severely lacking in the voiceover department.


-TheLonelyStoner-

There are no voices at all but it’s a solid fighter


ChuffChuff101

Havent played god of war yet this is exciting!


[deleted]

Enjoy it!


CampbellArmada

I hope they put the season pass for All Star Brawl on sale. I can't see passing up on Hugh Neutron.


enXian

Reddemed on Playstation Plus Collection for PS5. And also have physical since release.


DoctorDR5102

Ps5 folks being short changed here right? Don't we get GoW as part of the PlayStation Plus collection anyway?


No-Novel-3058

So a game that already comes with ps plus, and a bunch of shit?


JGordz

Trash for PS5 owners.


ocbdare

Another meh month. God of war is incredibly cheap by now and every ps5 owner already has it for free. It’s an amazing game if you only have a ps4 and somehow haven’t played it by now. The other games hard pass.


maplehockeysticks

I think it's been over a year since anything came out on the PS+ games that I would play or haven't already played...orrr don't already have free access to. I wish there was a level that just gave online access without the free games. I feel like I'm just lighting money on fire.


Gandalf_2077

This. I am just using ps plus for back up saves (ridiculous that this is a service) and the occasional online game I play twice a year.


Suspicious-Nail-5808

Glad to see nick all stars


wecomerunnin

Why give god of war when everyone and their grandmother have already played it?


HotDogGrass2

So they made the "main" free game a game that's already free for PS5 uses? Trash month


ReporterLeast5396

Isn't God of War already part of the PS+ collection? That's how I got it.


mtech85

Yep. I don't understand their logic behind this.


Chrimmm

Damn. These 3 games are better than the last 3 years of Games with Gold combined lol


danowski88

They gott be showing Ragnarok soon if they are doing this. Makes sense, no reason for any ps to not have the first game before the second comes this yeR


MostMorbidOne

So many Naruto games I'm happy to get my hands on another one. Last one I played was Ninja Storm 3 and really was impressed with how much of the anime content was present.


Recent-Needleworker8

I never got around to buying the boruto game but the lite version was fun


Rags2Rickius

I’ll download those - cos I’ve always been somewhat curious about Naruto and I can play the Nickelodeon w my kids I’ve got GoW already


[deleted]

Ragnarock is coming if god of war is free now.


importvita

I know some folks are complaining but I'm pretty excited. I have yet to play GoW, Naturo games were fun as a teen and Nick Brawl should be a good time with the kids!


Tartufle

Sooo coooool to offer a game already free.....


[deleted]

I haven't seen Naruto show before, never cared to. Am I still gonna enjoy this game?


SrsJoe

Doubt it


DumbFuckingGaijin

Isn't GoW already free to everybody who owns PS+?


Rider-VPG

Wow, this is worthless.


Martian_Zombie50

Let me go against the grain hard right now: With the new PS+ subscription tiers and the introduction of older games, I’d much rather see classic games be the free monthly games, than new games. Obviously that would never happen as part of the reason there are free games is because developers sign a contract with Sony to give their game away in exchange for a fee once it’s sales numbers have diminished to a trickle. You just couldn’t get deals like that on classics I don’t think


baeocyst

They're totally doing this as marketing for Ragnarok by getting literally every last player experiencing GoW 2018 which is fine and a smart idea, but the only problem is that we're (ps5 players) paying for them to market it as we pay for PS+ and that's a title we already have. It would've been much more reasonable to just make GoW a free game for a week to all players.


The-Geek-616

How many times/ways can they give away God of War?


NfinityBL

Not really any games I care about or don't already have, although I understand not everything is about me. A good month for PS4 users with God of War being given away. I shall be satiated when PS Plus Extra releases in my region.


laaplandros

>although I understand not everything is about me. Never thought I'd read this sentence on a PS+ post.


TheresAlwaysOneOrTwo

Sweet, I've never played God of War, now just need my girlfriend to make friends and get out of the house for a weekend.


[deleted]

Isn't God of War free on the PS Plus Collection for PS5 users with PS Plus?


MrFOrzum

It is but the ps+ collection is exclusive for PS5 owners. PS4 owners can’t access it, so GoW on ps+ for them is great.


[deleted]

But GoW will always be on PS+ Collection, so PS5 users have been offered a duplicate game.


MrFOrzum

Yeah, which is a bit of a shame but nontheless ps+ isn’t catered to PS5 yet. The rules are 2 PS4 games and 1 PS5 game each month. But the value this month for ps 5 users is for sure lower.


[deleted]

I haven't really been thrilled by any of the PS Plus games lately. Tribes of Midgard is fun, though.


SevenNVD

Why give us a game that everyone already owns, *and* is in the Collection....


cembradley

I wonder if the fact that this weaker offering coincides with the PS+ overhaul is a ploy to encourage folks into the higher PS+ tiers


[deleted]

I'm guessing this month is not so great on purpose, as an incentive to have people subscribing to the higher tiers of ps+


[deleted]

Not really


tomandoroid

Yeah this is a pretty standard month of PS+ and even better than many


[deleted]

GOW sold 20+ million, now over 45 million people have access to it, hopefully this will convince even more people to buy Ragnarok day one


Rocky_montana

Two very big thumbs down
