Gaming PlayStation 4 (Console)

Prepare to be massively disappointed and underwhelmed.














Just kidding.











Or am I?

You're not kidding.

I can't believe the dearth of games, the lack of graphical progress and how shit the controller is (my battery goes every 5 minutes, the analog sticks have already worn down and come off, and the left analogue stick has broken).

I was hoping Watchdogs was going to be the changer, but it's obvious the original gameplay was on a supercharged PC.

Infamous 2 was meh - best power comes after you've completed the game, scripted physics models, a lifeless city environment, repetitive missions.

Killzone - best looking game I've played, but a generic FPS at the end of the day.

MGS - looks pretty again, though, I hate the way enemies movements are scripted - a headshot shouldn't be the same dramatic fall every time, is the GTA model that hard to replicate? Too short, barely a game, more a demo.

The best games have been Outlast and Resogun, which says a lot.

Infamous 2, huh? You sound clued in. And what the f*ck are you doing to your controller?

Ah shit, Infamous Second Son - got my numerics mixed up or something.

Nothing, I've not even used it that much. It started to erode after the first week of using it.
 
Mine isn't too bad (controller), hasn't been off today, been charged for about an hour in total while playing. No biggie.

Can I plug it into a mains charger does anyone know?

Also regarding watchdogs... I haven't heard the graphics are poor. Hae we got side by sides of ps4 vs PC?
 
I have two controllers. I have beaten AC4, Lego Marvel, Infamous and played over 100 hours of BF4. Both controllers are exactly the same as the day I got them.

Once I seen about the sticks and the issues I ordered some orb grips. Feel nicer than the actual sticks anyway

Dunno then. Mine was one of the first batch of consoles released, so maybe that has something to do with it. I've probably put in about 40 hours of gaming since I've had it. There's loads of similar stories on the internet.

I think I might get some, too. But, like I say, my left analog stick has gone now! So annoying. At £50 a controller, it's particularly annoying. Gonna wait 'til Watchdogs is out and bite the bullet, probably.

I got mine day one. I have seen reports of the kind of issues you mentioned, but not all happening to the same controller.

Same as that, day I bought the PS4, went on Amazon and got some grips. I liked the sticks naturally, though I don't find the grips much different. I'm using the concave pair though, probably should try the orb ones.

When my left stick is pushed to the right, the on-screen response is either up or down, so it's not fully broken, but makes it fairly unusable for most games - especially Fifa which I played most.

Dunno, bad luck I guess.

Yeah I'm using the dimpled (orb) ones, haven't tried the concave yet. My controller won't last long anyway. Already majorly pissed off with people on fifa, celebrating, watching every replay, and passing it round the back for 70mons of the game! Arghh

Ahhhhh, now I remember why I don't play fifa online anymore.

Even my best mate, plays 5 at the back, Walcott and Eto'o up front. Cnut. Got him back though, built a team of long shot takers(sneijder:drool:, lashed his net to pieces from beyond his defensive line.

I've found so far it's less annoying than I found it on the 360. Seems less idiots (so far) there's always a way to beat someone. However, starting out on ultimate team is pretty awful! Not one player who can shoot :lol:
 
That's what swayed me to the ps4, the user base. I do realise we have the likes of weaste on there who if we ever happen to join a game with, I imagine it to be like when directors do the voice overs on movies. Weaste sat explaining the technical aspects of it for as long as we can put up with him.

On the other hand we could be on the xbone and have cider screaming "xbone show video of me" etc

I wouldn't worry, I'm fairly sure Weaste has never played a videogame except for Mario(badly) in his life.

I don't do online multiplayer very often, and when I do I certainly don't talk to the people I'm playing with.
 
I'm sure you played gt5 with the caf before. Didn't you basically just drive about hitting everybody because you were drunk?
 
I let a friend of mine try to beat a few of my times on Trials and he shredded my thumbstick, the f*cking animal.

Replacements ordered.

Ouch! Did you kick him in the testicles?

Was there anything wrong with the thumb sticks that you noticed before? Or did it all just happen when your ex friend had a go?
 
They were fine. He's a 'skilled labourer.' I'm gonna deball him before he leaves.
 
Have you looked at Knack?

Thanks for the suggestion. Saw it was from 12 years or something, but seems harmless. Think I'll get it for the kid. Second Son looks really cool but I watched a gameplay video on yt and I saw this emo dude fry some guards head of with flames shooting out of his hand. That's not really gonna fly.

No problem, hope your kid enjoys it!
 
The guys that made The Last of Us and the best Uncharted (the 2nd one) are taking over, I wouldn't worry in the slightest about it.

Voice Actors aren't part of ND anyway are they, just hired to do work.
