The Official PS4 Thread - Part 9

[Thundercrack85]

hey it's better than absolutely nothing right? even though nothings free.. you still gotta spend something to get the benefit outta this.

I guess. But having your network down for days during Christmas is pretty damn bad. I knew several people who got a PS4 for Christmas, either for them, or their kids, and they were fairly pissed. One got the Destiny bundle.

10% is just paltry.

 

[Thundercrack85]

so, Thunder, how are you liking your PS4 so far?

It's alright. I've mostly been playing The Last of Us and Grand Theft Auto V. I also beat Wolfenstein (surprisingly good game) and I played a bit of Advanced Warfare.

ya and xbones too. lots of people returned their xbones just for that reason. probably lots of Ps4s returned too.

 

[Thundercrack85]

You couldn't even download the indie shovelware.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

well, that's good to hear. at least it's working for you.........

I've been mainly preoccupied with starting and restarting Dragon Age Inquisition.

played a bit of ACU, and it was actually fun and I'm finding the story interesting so far.

Sorry, I was kind of pissed off with it being down. Finally had some days off, and I couldn't download Last of Us.

Well, there was that one dude who got rocks.

 

[Soapy]

shovelware.

I don't think you know what word means.

 

[Thundercrack85]

What does it mean?

 

[X Knight]

but you're able to download and play Last of Us now, right?

Well, there was that one dude who got rocks.

lol....yeah. and I saw another story of a girlfriend buying the PS4 for her bf, only for them to find bibles inside the box.........

 

[Soapy]

What does it mean?

It mainly refers to licensed movie/tv/whatever games made cheaply and quickly and are generally of a very poor quality.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I have mainly seen it used to refer to crap games that flood the market. But if you can point me to a dictionary that says that I will modify my usage of the word.

You think indie games are crap I'm assuming? Despite being better than most AAA titles? At least IMO they're better.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Not all. But a lot. Though I also think there's plenty of AAA crap.

I got the Destiny bundle for Christmas. I didn't get to hook it up until Saturday, so I couldn't register for PSN or play Destiny. But I also got The Last of Us Remastered from my sister, so I played that instead. Everything was back up by Sunday, so I got to play Destiny then.

It was annoying, but at least it came back soon enough.

 

[X Knight]

I really hope these holiday network attacks don't become a recurring theme.

it's bad enough when the networks go down. even worse when it's on a holiday.

Read the first paragraph under "shovelware video games".

 

[Tron Bonne]

Good, Soapy. Good.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Oh well, if a Wikipedia article with multiple issues says so.

Funny, indie shovelware even pops up on Google.

 

[flickchick85]

These network issues are just one of the reasons I stick to my basic single-player gaming. I've been playing GTA5 and Assassin's Creed Unity quite a bit for the last couple weeks without even noticing there was an outage, lol.

 

[Thundercrack85]

indie shovelware?

what the hell does your avy say by the way?

Secret Ponchos. First thing I've deleted from my PS4.

Though with the Xbox One that Viking game comes to mind (I forget the name).

To think someone actually pays money for that crap.

I just hope the months of all indies are over for Playstation Plus.

My avatar is what they gave me for being the political poster of the year in 2014.

Were you able to get the patches with the network down? I didn't try, perhaps I should have.
