If any of you guys are playing Rainbow Six seige, im always looking for some people to play with.
Sony is still hiding quite a few games from us gamers, making it near impossible to discover indie games unless you search for the name directly. Even the popular game Goat Simulator published on October 11, 2015, does not exist on PSN unless you an actual search of the actual name in the search bar. This isn't good for indie games at all, and for this all these missing games to still not be fixed.

Sony does actually have a dedicated catalog for indie games, but the terrible thing is that they make you have to hunt for it so literally not many even realize it's there. You have to go /games/spotlight/quick links/indies. Sadly, even there are there indie games missing from that catalog. But yeah, their store needs an upgrade now that they have better PS Plus revenue. It doesn't make sense to claim to be the "indie-friendly" platform if you can't get them the exposure they need.I agree. I've always had to perform a specific search for an indie game, which means I need to have known about it already. It takes forever to find it in the normal menus. The problem with that is, unless you keep up with game news and are aware that a particular indie has released, you are not likely to even know it's available. They do nothing to draw attention to it. And it's not easy thing to keep up with indie release dates -- they often aren't announced until it's right upon you, and they don't get the publicity that bigger games do. So, even if you keep up with game news, it's easy to miss them. I've had to write down specific indie release dates. Otherwise, I will miss them.
Sony is doing nothing to draw attention to one of the platform's highlights. It seems like dumb decision-making to me. They're just lumping indies into the regular game category. It's like trying to find one particular item in a closet stuffed with junk. They ought to have a dedicated indie section, where they highlight the best and the most recent releases. They're squandering one of the highlights of the PS4.

Also, here is a quick map for the indie catalog:

I distinctly remember that the indie game developers last gen (on Xbox) were begging for their games to be put in the game general population, not pushed into an indie category.
No... THIS.. IS..SPARTA!I was browsing the "free" catalog the PS Store has for games, movies, and other media. An episode of Supernatural from season 10 was there in this "Free TV Episodes" catalog. I clicked the episode, and I am prompted to pay $21.99 to see this "free" episode. "Buy the entire season 10 and get this extra season 10 episode for free!" What?! This is madness!
SF 5! VikI'm back baby. Only game I've really played recently on the PS4 was Until Dawn. Since then I've either been doing multiplatform on Xbox or Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U. Just about to finish up with that game so looking at my next game on PS4, which I think will be The Order. Also just bought The Crew Wild Run for cheap so will be playing that as well. Finally, need to spend some time in MLB The Show 15 again to hopefully get me to hold off on buying 16 since I didn't put much time in 15.
Yes I think I will.SF 5! Vik
Yes I think I will.
How about this one?

I don't have Prime, but thanks for the reminder on discounts, as I'm in Best Buy's Unlocked program. I'll take that $20.Amazon Prime members get the collectors edition for $79.99 or standard for $47.99. It seems Amazon Prime is going after other stores doing buyers club savings as I am seeing awesome deals on just about all pre-orders for coming top games.
Firewatch today!!
Sounds good. I'm curious how Gravity Rush 2 will turn out. I'm going to avoid a PS Vita port, even though it sounds like they did a good job. I suppose it's because of the graphics. I'd rather have something built ground up for the system.
