Far Cry 3 and Dragon's Dogma coming to EU PlayStation Plus in October

Sony outlines October's PlayStation Plus content for European subscribers.

139 Comments

Ubisoft's open-world first-person shooter Far Cry 3 and Capcom's adventure Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen are headlining the games on offer for European PlayStation Plus members in October.

No Caption Provided

The two PlayStation 3 games will be joined by indie platformer Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, with all three games being available to download from PlayStation Plus starting September 25.

PlayStation Vita owners will also be able to get Touch My Katamari and Street Fighter X Tekken.

Assassin's Creed III, Saints Row: The Third, Payday: The Heist, Urban Trials, and New Little King's Story will all leave the service from September 25.

Microsoft announced earlier this week that its latest free game as part of its Games with Gold promotion would be Rainbow Six Vegas.

An 12-month subscription to PlayStation Plus costs $49.99/€49.99/£39.99.

God of mine, is Sony really giving these two for free? Wow, lucky europeans! Only problem is that they will surely take a big chunk of hard disk space. In that sense, I feel lucky they will be free to EU :D

@evil_m3nace @StonerDemon I have an 80Gb Phat PS3, so I preferred to play safe and get a 5400rpm 500 Gb disk (I couldn't find a similar 1Tb disk). I've heard that 7200rpm disks can cause some problems. I still have like 120Gb free, but those will fly by the end of the year.

the games with gold promotion makes me sad. I'm going to let my live gold subscription die until Ultra Street Fighter 4 comes out. Even then I might only buy 3 months.

@bunchanumbers Or you could save yourself the money on a Gold subscription and just buy a PS3 instead.

@bunchanumbers I sort of did the same. When gold ran out I couldn't be bothered renuing it and got PS+ shortly after. Definitly the better of the two. It paid for itself the week I bought it.

Ahhhhh, I'm so tempted to just buy a euro ps+ account right now. It would be kind of expensive to keep 2 subscriptions though. might be worth it.

@WheelerJared When you buy now you get 15 months instead of 12. It's a really good deal although the Euro is a bit more expensive then the $.

Funny. I didn't allow myself to buy Dragons Dogma, because I have loads of unplayed games... And I thought "maybe, by the time I run out of games, it'll be released free in PSN+"

Yeah!

@WarHead2011 When I see what the US get's it's kind of disappointing in comparison but that doesn't make it a bad deal, I still think you get your money worth. I asked it a while back to the guy who is doing the EU stuff and he says the European part of these companies are independed from their US branch and are better in giving away the games then the US ones. There is unfortunately nothing Sony can do about that. Maybe it's that EU customers more often buy the DLC that comes with the free games and making it more profitable for them. You can always buy a EU Plus subscription...

@strongmokus @WarHead2011 true, I'm from Canada so I get games at US price and can't believe what Europeans pay for games.

I have PS+ and wish we got the same quality games but it's good to see EU customers getting a break.

@mkeezay22 @strongmokus @WarHead2011 In Sweden, I've seen full price retail console games cost either 599 or 699 Swedish kronor. That equals 92 and 107 US dollars, respectively. PC full price retail games cost 499 kr or almost 77 US dollars. Steam/GoG/Humble Weekly Sale has been my savior. It's been years since I bought a retail game.

@WarHead2011 Don't kid yourself, the whole world is headed for a depression. Europe with the exception of the Nordic countries, isn't doing too well either.

Somehow i think that's sarcasm.

If not go pick up Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for 5 dollars. It's far better.

Of course it's sarcasm, I got the game when it came out in 2006 for the 360, I also own the second one, I really liked them, can't believe they are 7 and 6 years old by now... time flies way to fast

@WolfGrey Dude, I know it's not that legal, but why don't you create an UK account, and buy those redeem codes online, with instant delivery? Then you download and install the games, switch to your real account, and play the game.

@WolfGrey You can hate us all you want, but you still pay way less for games and hardware. Not only that, but almost every single major game title gets released in North America up to a couple of weeks ahead of Europe.

PlayStation Plus is one of the best online subscriptions ever put out. For those that don't know and need a XBL comparison please use google and educate yourself with knowledge. Far Cry 3.. Pretty nice freebie..

Very nice! I already have Dragon's Dogma, but I strongly recommend it.

I'll be checking out Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, and probably Far Cry 3 too. Can't wait.

If only Dark Arisen wasn't just rehashed content. Nearly every "new" monster is just a rescale/reskin and only two monsters are actually new.

I raged so hard at it.

@WolfGrey @Lhomity

There were eighteen new enemies and the new content was set on a entirely new tileset with new items, new music and new bosses.

Dark Souls' expansion only had ten new enemies and it was much smaller in comparison so I don't understand how you could rage at Dark Arisen when it provided more content.

Sure there were some rehashed content (Grim goblins, zombies and some post-dragon enemies from the original game) but once you got past the first few areas you encountered more and more of the new enemies. NG+ on Dark Arisen is pretty much just composed of these new enemies and brings the much needed challenge to Dragon's Dogma.

Two monsters were actually new? Seriously?

-Death

-Skeleton Brute

-Maneater

-Warg

-Gazer

-Cursed Dragon

-Garm

-Living Armor

-Dark Bishop

-Banshee

-Eliminator

-Golden Knight/Silver Knight

-Gore-cyclopes

-Imprisoned Cyclopes

-Leap Worm

-Warg

-Wraith

-Daimon

These were the new enemies and while you might say "oh the garm is just the chimera" you'd be wrong if you've actually played the new content. The attacks are different as well as its entire appearance and defenses and you might say the new cyclopes are rehashed and while I'd agree on their appearances (even though their phenotypes are different), their entire move-set is completely different.

All in all, the best expansion for a game that came out this year if you ask me and this is how other expansions for other games should be like. Not like Bethesda's 3 hour ones which were priced at £13 in comparison to Dark Arisen which released at £18 with the original game and the new 40+ hour content.

@WolfGrey @Lhomity I expected as much, tbh. I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't wait for a proper sequel on next-gen.
