Crows Turn Off posted:Are there really a lot of reports about PS4s "bricking" specifically? Bricking as in failing system updates, no. DOA or flaky stability and finally dying for good, yes, a few cases of that, at least some of which due to being poorly packaged and damaged in transit.

My PS4 has been on for 12 or so hours every day since the 15th and I have literally had zero errors outside of the psn being screwy on the first few days. I know this doesn't really tell you much but I just want to point out that it's very reliable if you don't get one DOA/soon after.

Oh hey. Not sure if it's the case, but it appears that 1.51 let me actually update Warframe through its internal patcher without freezing my system. I haven't been able to do it pre-update as I tried 3 times and each time it froze my system to the point I had to unplug it.

I had this weird error after I finished a multiplayer game of killzone, quit out before the next map loaded to the main menu then went to the main ui and went to my friends list. The friends list chugged real hard. AFKed for a little bit and then when I went back to Killzone it told me I was kicked for inactivity.  Hasn't happened again but that was really weird. Other than that yea 12 hours a day because I have no life and I've been having no problems updating from USB and online. I've downloaded all the F2P games except DCUO.

I'm still catching up on the last ten pages of this fast moving thread, but I just wanted to say that I'd like an invite to the Warframe Dojo if there is room! Please add hershekiss to the list. I'm usually playing Injustice, Resogun, and Warframe until I pick up ACIV.

I'm just glad it looks like UPS didn't punt my system since I had one of those from Amazon where there was no air bubble things beneath the system. I've had no problems beyond one crash to the error report screen on System menu 1.0 when I swapped controllers while it downloaded the 1.5 update. e: well no, I also sometimes lose the ip address to my router if I go into standby but I'm blaming standby being buggy since it also sometimes screws up the hdcp hand shaking with my 2007 tv" MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Nov 20, 2013 |

Mine was one of the essentially bricked PS4s from Amazon. Turn it on and all it does is slowly flash the blue light, never boots up. I will say that sending it back to Sony hasn't been a bad experience thus far. Sent me the coffin overnight via FedEx with an overnight prepaid return label. With any luck I may finally be able to play with you guys soon.

I really can't wait for Thanksgiving vacation next week. Gonna head up to my parents, have a few days off work and then the weekend. I'm bringing my PS4 and I plan to do nothing but drink beer and play PS4 (ok maybe some car work).

For anyone still trying to get a PS4, I can't recommend this site enough. I managed to score one through Best Buy by signing up for a text alert once the came in stock. You can set it up for vendors in Canada and the UK.

For anyone who was planning on getting that $30 for 1 year of PS+ deal from Gamestop on Black Friday, just in case your local one is too crowded or runs out Walmart will price match it.

Take out a bunch of small ones and a red hunter ship will come after you. That one has a lot of metal and isn't as difficult as the military ships at that point. Great game, but that mission was retarded. You can't upgrade anything despite having the money and materials to do it because it wants you to beat that mission.

Roman posted:I can't wait until they implement themes so I can install one and just go back to the default blue one two days later It really is beautiful and works so well with the UI that I'm not sure I would even want others. The PS4 is a really cohesive system.

Are you enjoying Blacklight? I played it on the pc a few times and thought it was a good CoD substitute but considering that I'm loving Ghosts I don't know if it would be worth the download. It is free though so I might as well try it someday.

Use R1 to use your binocs and use your left stick to zoom in on ships to get information on boats. They'll tell you the level of boats. Pick a military boat around level 17. They're pretty easy if you are decent enough. Run at them and hit them with your front guns. Always aim for center mass. The reason for this is because as you hit the main mass of the ship you crack open the ship to its exposed innards so your swivel cannons to make really deadly shots. They'll show up as a target on the hull of their ship with a triangle over it, hold triangle until the NPC lines up the shot and then let go for him to shoot. Turn your camera to your ships side to use your side cannons to blast a bunch of holes in and then swivel cannons. Rinse and repeat until you can board. Don't use fire barrels they are loving useless.

Seven years later, I'm still mad that Sony apparently never gave us a way to make the XMB color black. You have to set it to color change in real time and use it at night to make it black.

haveblue posted:How do you tell what level your own ship is at? I can't find it anywhere in the UI. I also haven't figured out how to select chain shot yet. I don't personally know. The best indication is if you look at the boat and their level is in red then maybe you should steer clear for awhile. Also you should beat smaller boats if you quickly need to lower your wanted rating or repair your boat. It's getting hard for me since I can nearly one shot level 4 boats and I can ram gunboats to death. It's still hilarious though.
