Visitor K posted:As a fellow forgotten latin american ps4 owner, just do what I did and make a US account and get games cheaper than in your country's store. You can get ps money on amazon with any credit card and a fake US address. gently caress paying 10+ extra dollars on games. The thing is I AM living in the US and I'm pretty sure I get charged the american prices. It's super annoying because I always have a hard time buying stuff from the store, no matter if I do so from a my PS4, Vita, or my Mexico-dwelling brother's PS3.

That loving Sned posted:Normally games in the UK have a high RRP of £50 or £60, but retailers would discount this to £40, except for games like Call of Duty and FIFA which would be more expensive. All UK prices include VAT, which is currently 20%, but many retailers get around it by using tax havens and they pass the savings onto the customer. Also, since the start of 'next-gen gaming' most retailers have decided that games should start at £45, unless there's a special circumstance like TLU being a port of a game that only came out last year. Diablo 3 PS4 was £48 in Tesco, which tends to have the best price out of brick and mortar stores, that's $79 in case you were wondering. Still, that's better than the £60 it was for the digital version.

Hey guys, if your PS4 controllers are hosed up call Sony and send them in. I got mine back in < 7 days and the rubber is noticeably different (plus you get brand new controllers).

Harlock posted:Shamelessly stolen from the coopins thread I bought it for $30 used and have no regrets. Just finished a second play through today and got the platinum trophy for it. It was delivered to me on the 8th of this month, so you should have any problems getting through it before Sept 9th. As others have said it's pretty short, much shorter than the first two, but it's still a fun game if you're a fan of the series.

Yeah, it's a good game and worth playing, but you can platinum it in under 15 hours. A single playthrough should only take about 6-7.

This 2tb drive can be pried out of the enclosure and installed. Takes about 10 min and is currently the largest you're gonna get. I recommend it.

Does PS4 Warframe still have bad frame rate problems and weird aiming with the controller? edit: I'd just play it on the PC, except that controller support there is still far from complete. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Aug 24, 2014 |

This is a bit of an exaggeration - the biggest games are about 50GB, and there aren't many of them. Remember, any game with a retail release needs to fit on a 50GB Blu-ray. Unless you count DLC, then maybe.

Also the average gamer is going to delete games with no replay value or ones thaty they're done with and only keep their save files just in case. You'd need to either be the guy that wants to film and save hours of footage for upload or the guy that wants to play 12 AAA games on there all at the same time or the guy who wants to keep every game he's ever bought instantly playable with no re-download to ever need to worry about upgrading the stock hdd.

I was taking into account patches and DLC and I'm sure eventually we'll see some multi-disk games. Personally I'll never go over the 500gb because I rarely ever replay a game when I'm finished with it so I have no problem deleting things to make room. Point is, games are getting bigger and it's not crazy to think some people are going to fill up 500gb pretty easily.

I tried to platinum Pixeljunk Shooter with the MP trophies earlier today and every one I played either quit or disconnected before the first round even ended. It's a shame because the multiplayer in that game actually seems a bit cool since you're alternating between offense and defense each turn.

RE: 2TB HD's I consider it future-proofing; by this time next year, I'm gonna have a lot more on my PS4 than I do now. Plus, the 2TB isn't a bad price at all AND I've got an extra 500Gb portable from the swap.

Samurai Sanders posted:This is still odd to me, because sneaking past is how I wanted to play as well, but every time I tried I ran into a door or something that only became passable when all the enemies are killed. Finally I just gave up trying to play that way. That's really bizarre. There are very few areas in the game that require you to fight. I really doubt just your copy was bugged, so sounds like you missed something. Not sure what though.

Personally I'll never go over the 500gb because I rarely ever replay a game when I'm finished with it so I have no problem deleting things to make room. I actually wouldn't bet on this. I looked at the various PS4 game install sizes, and it seems to me that most of the time a 40+GB install is found not on games that are using super-advanced new tech, but on cross-gen games like TLOU and Wolfenstein that are falling back on the somewhat last-gen feature of pre-rendered cutscenes. Example: TLOU used them on the PS3 since the normal visuals weren't good enough, and on the PS4 the visuals are still very "last-gen port", and redoing the cutscenes in real-time would be a lot of work, so they were re-rendered in 1080p60 and now take up even more space. Given how amazing real-time PS4 visuals tend to look now (and how they'll look in the future), I would not be remotely shocked to see game sizes actually shrink as time goes on as more and more devs make real-time cutscenes the standard. This would save shitloads of install space, as well as allow for things like seamlessly moving from gameplay to cutscene, costumes and weapons being reflected in cutscenes, etc. that we see in games like MGSV that stick with real-time exclusively.

Not sure what though. Yeah I remember there being one encounter that was a two floor building, some sort of library or something? Anyways, after trying to beat it multiple times by taking everyone out, I realized that it could be passed by going in a side entrance and taking out the one guy blocking the exit. I thought it was really cool.

I disliked the controls on PC and thought it was way worse on console. I really want to like that game but I have always just thought the controls were god awful regardless of the platform. Using an analog stick is utter poo poo though.

Ciaphas posted:I'm sure it's just me, but The Last of Us is frustrating the everloving poo poo out of me. I'm at basically the first point where I have to deal with several runners and a clicker, and I must have somehow gotten spotted like ten times (and my neck then bitten out by said clicker) before shutting off the PS4 before I got Mad At Video Games. That part is indeed very difficult. Here's a simple trick to do it. Go right, grab the runner that's just standing there. From that runner's position, you can see the clicker standing there... wait till the runner (near clicker) has walked away and shoot the bejebus out of the clicker (aim for head). Now the clicker is dead and you have like 4 runners going after you... use the plank and smack them dead. You're done with probably the hardest part in the game.
