Unlockable Ben

Welcome to the Playstation 4 Shark Tank thread, made by me. I'm honest enough to know that despite beating the absolute living poo poo out of the XBone, and Nintendo not even trying to keep up lately, that I have my own problems. Plenty in fact, though usually different from whatever 'Fame Anim8DouglasXboxOne' might bring up. Regardless of this, I should strive to be much 'better then just better then the no used/DRM/lockdown/camera/anti-consumer XBone', beating that should be an assumption, not a praise.

Let's bring up some common complaints, no holding back now, my current handheld brother is open to this as well.


Playstation 4:

A Lack of Games
Partly Explainable as a Launch symptom, though it really is one that should have died off by now. I haven't had much in the way of good Retail faced games this generation so far. I've made up for it a bit with lots of indies and digital titles, and some of you actually seem to prefer this! Regardless, buying me at the moment is a waiting game for a lot of people just on accounts of my still small library.

Data Corruption
While it was patched mostly back in January, I still have some issues with save game and data corruption, and really should get that fixed.

Playstation Store
I have a charge for most of my multiplayer games now. There really is no reason I should still have a far inferior infrastructure for my online store and setups. Much slower to use and having common small glitches seems minor to some, but it's really a thing that should be in the past.

Falsified Graphical Advertisements
Killzone: Shadow Fall being the elephant in the room here. There are points where games my Developers claim run at a resolution either rely on interlacing or other tricks to actually pull off. It may seem odd to complain to some but truth is a matter of it's own regard.

PS Vita:

Proprietary Memory
A shameful continuation of a dumb concept from the original PSP, why do we as a company need to keep doing this, especially when for both PS4 and PS3 we allow third party storage just fine? Our sales of the machine would be much easier if people, especially those in already expensive nations such as Aus and the UK could just get Micro or Standard Fat SDs.


Please do use this thread to bring up all other issues you need to vent on myself and my brother.
Maybe and hopefully a Sony employee or someone will read and possibly make the games industry better off for improved service. :unsmith:

You should be less self-conscious. That Killzone "thing"? Nobody noticed or cared, unless they were spiteful out of jealousy.

You've done plenty great. Treat yourself a little. :)

Someone should buy Playstation 4 the same title as Fame and Anim8.

They called Infamous 3 SECOND son and it sucked so badly that the Lead designer Jaime Griesemer quit Sucker Punch studios when it was released. Sales of the game were also bad :(

And that is by far the best thing you can play on your PS4 until at least 2015.

I feel like we could do a lot more with the Vita, but maybe it'd be like kicking a corpse at this point.

I liked it. Jamie did a great job with the combat. It was a visual treat as well! Can you explain why you thought it sucked? I think it has problems, but what it does right outweighs that. I'm interested in hearing a contrary opinion. :)

P.s. I didn't care for the title either :P

I won a Vita from a taco bell promotion in my yearly "does taco bell still give me horrendous stomach issues" visit a few years back. I barely use the fucker because despite having a ton of free games on it I cant store jack on it without paying fuckloads for Sony's stupid proprietary memory. Also the thing is awkward as gently caress to hold for any period of time. Sony made the DS4 fuckin awesome so they have someone over there that understands ergonomics, I guess they were on vacation during the design phase?

If the Xbox One thread is an indication, there'll be some horrible racism thrown in for good measure. So look forward to that!

The PS4 is well on it's way to becoming the dominant system this generation, there just isn't much worthwhile content out for it now to justify spending hundreds of dollars unless your rich. A PC is still probably the best investment if you want to play vidja gaems, and a PC can be used for a hell of a lot more then just that. Couch gaming will always have its place though and the PS4 despite it's faults will beat the laughable competition in that arena.

Is it just me or is it impossible to join a game as a party on the PS4? Every time a friend and I join a game we get separated - even when there's room for us to remain on the same team (or party).

I've never had this problem with the 360, but this has also happened with BF4, Killzone, and now Watch Dogs.

It has more to play than Resogun, it has the best version of Ground Zeroes and Infamous Second Son is good for a weekend rental, but if you have a PC and play indie games on that, the PS4 is fairly pointless.

I can homebrew my PS3 though so I don't mind.

Hey Kinectles, is this the correct thread to ask you how Sony beat Microsoft during March when Microsoft had Titanfall and Sony had no good game?

That's because the classics like games on GOG remind me of when gaming wasn't a cesspool of overblown budgets and K/D ratios. There's too many leaks in my cynicism tank nowadays.
