Will I be able to download this late tonight?

Rumor is midnight PST. Of course, I also remember they said that for the GTA 5 digital release, and I don't really think anyone understands what kind of voodoo magic goes into updating the PSN store. I'm just planning to start the download tomorrow while I'm at work so it'll be ready when I'm back home.

I'm a recent PS4 convert (came from a PC, surprisingly) and the multiplayer modes look fantastic. I played all of 30 minutes on the PS3 so I'm excited for prettier graphics and a higher FPS.

Any way for us goons to play together?

Definitely double-dipping. Like the OP said, The Destiny Beta is over, and I need a multiplayer-title to sway me over until September. Plus, I will play the campaign through again, this time on Hard. Can't wait!

I'm not double-dipping, that would require me to have bought the game when it released originally. Instead, I'm going in completely blind for one of the few games that made me regret not having a PS3 last generation and I'm very excited to play this.

Survivor is fun, but trying to get through Grounded Mode is like pulling teeth. If you like playing the same level over and over again until you get it right, it's definitely for you.

Definitely going to be double-dipping. I play a lot of Factions already, so I'm excited to see the new game features, resolution, and frame rate.

Preorder it from the US PSN, you get it 3 days earlier and ~15 cheaper!

Also, the European version is censored (all blood and gore removed from multiplayer) because Sony is the worst game publisher around. US PSN will give you the uncensored version.

Exactly what I did as soon as it went to $50 on the US Store.
$50 = 29.50 at the current exchange rate, or you can buy a copy in Game for ~40 at best and be asked to buy a warranty on the disk for a quid. No brainer really. It's a game that I'll never trade in, so a digital copy is the best bet.

Pretty sure English stuff isn't censored, you're thinking of Germany. Not that I'm bothered about the colour of multiplayer blood.

There is only one European version unfortunately, so it is censored everywhere that gets that region.

I fully endorse Factions, especially the mode where you only get one life, but be warned that a lot of people were spoiling the game in it so you may want to hold off until you beat the single player if you somehow made it this far without being spoiled already.

I will be picking this up whenever I get paid this week so add me, PSN: SpaceCowLTD.

Factions is amazing. I have yet to encounter another multiplayer experience that puts you in more close matches that could go either way, while also rewarding a look-before-you-leap mentality.

Best played with at least one person you can talk to (or who will listen to you), but the whole thing is so well designed that you can play with nothing but mute strangers and still keep a pretty good bead on what they are up to.




Sanchowest is not only a very eccentric narrator, he's also a badass at Factions and will teach you sweet tips. Here are a few I found useful, though the machete video may be a bit dated after ND nerfed the machete.

I never really did use the smoke bomb much in the single player campaign but it is absolutely amazing in Factions and is frequently underestimated. You can destroy an entire enemy group with one.

I do believe that anyone inside smoke radius cannot be marked, as well.

Rookersh posted:

Yeah just to point out, the DLC is NOT entirely prequel. It takes place after a VERY SPOILERY MOMENT in the main plot.

If you start with the DLC to keep things timeline consistent, it'll spoil an entire ingame season for you. You should not do this, and honestly the OP should have this somewhere in bright flashing letters to make sure new adopters don't start with the DLC.

Whoops, I missed this completely. Added.

Mentioned it in the What Did You Just Buy thread but I owned this (Survival Edition) on PS3 and obviously a PS3, and an Xbox One and still bought a PS4 yesterday just to play this again. (I did the Gamestop deal to get it for $25) The Last of Us: One Night Live starts in a few minutes. It's on Twitch etc. They said there will be a "surprise for the audience." One can only hope a sequel teaser, but who knows?

It's a show where they act out scenes from the game. How is that not a spoiler. I even said "ending". Don't watch it if you haven't played the game.
