Mine works perfectly and ive never had issues aside from when Lizard Squad took em down. Game just works. And most other problems can be attributed to other peoples ISP's or the hardware they are using.

I don't think he's talking about how well it works technically. I have a huge problem with the stupid decisions they've made in regards to explicit server joins and instancing.

Nailed it. Endgame is all about multiplayer but there is no in game way to form groups.

How does Minecraft for PS4 handle world saves? Can you have multiple worlds at once? or just one?

Also wanted to verify that it's offline multiplayer/split screen. It is, right?

multiple worldsaves, offline splitscreen and online MP are both in. and work together. You can start in a nice splitscreen game and invite online friends to come play as well.

Even with the lack of communication and group forming tools, there's not even an in-game way to just follow someone around that you happen to team up with through the same activities. As soon as you hit a loading zone, you almost always get sent to a different instance.

It's an extremely strange setup they've got going with 16 player limit servers that are instanced in at least two different ways. There are overworld instances where you seem to never see more than about 5 people at once and then there are the darkness zone instances that are unique to your fireteam and remember which enemies were killed for at least 5 minutes if you don't kill them all.

I don't mind the instancing at all in any way it's been implemented. The grouping is a definite problem though. There are even basic things they mucked up - they have clans. You can join the clan using your web browser or their apps (but not in game because I don't know why). The clan name shows on your user. But you can't get a list of all other online clan members and group with them. Why. Why is this happening. Why are clans if you can't message or group with them ingame. It's so weird. I have a couple friends I play with regularly and goons on my friendlist via the mass invite system that I play with on occasion but most users aren't so lucky. They just completely mucked up the social aspect of it and completely piggy-backed on other social networks out-of-game to handle the social part of their very social game.

All that said, I still love the poo poo out of the game and I just hope they fix all this poo poo and add more content.

The lack of actual clan support seems to be just everyone's way of doing clans anymore. The last several games that I've played that even supported clans were all done online outside of the game. And then once in the game you have a tag and no way to contact anyone in your clan while in the game. It seems they do it so they say they have clans but in reality it's just a complicated mess to go through just to have 4 letters in front of your name for no purpose whatsoever.

Makes me wonder if systems should just get software to do it from their side. Like a meta-party system... That'd be too awesome though.

I've been saying something similar for a while now too. Even if I just had the ability to separate my friends list into folders so I could differentiate between the goons and non goons or the guys I play Battlefield with and the old guy I friended because we both play golf.

I'd just like to know some more specifics on how the game plays. I really hope it's RE4 2014 and not a super linear amusement park ride like most horror games these days. I'm really hoping for a level of gaminess and exploration. I'm pretty sure it's going to be good, but I thought Shadows of The Damed kind of sucked so I'm slightly apprehensive.

gently caress. Tuesday I saw a PS4 at the pawn shop next to where I work for $260, and I was about to buy it before my phone rang and I had to attend to other things.

I was off yesterday, and of course at that price it was already gone when I went back for it today. Gonna be tough to find another deal approaching that.

So far this is the best single player racing game haha. Are the servers ever going up? Can we get a refund if they're not up this week? I'm still kind of digging the single player, but... it's just... I wanted to race with my mates and poo poo talk while throwing that big audi around corners. Pretty game though.

I don't think it is going to suck because it's Shinji Mikami but the lack of info is a bummer. If people who actively look for it can't find much then people who don't know about the game certainly can't. Something tells me it's not going to sell all that well. Bethesda sure is doing a bang-up job of promoting the game.

Okay so how does game sharing work on the PS4? Destiny is purchased under my account but when my partner tries to play under her account it gives her an error saying that she doesn't have a license to play.

Pretty sure this wasn't an issue on the PS3 so what gives :(

E. I figured it out. I was making her account the primary instead of mine.

Old system: Any two PS3s can be activated at once; being signed in has no bearing on whether you can play things, aside from you have to be signed in to activate the PS3 for account stuff.

New system: Any one PS4 can be activated at once; signing into another PS4 lets you use the account's software while signed in. It's pretty much Xbox 360 activation.
