Hey Univbee. I think i remember you talking about nhl 15 before. Do you know if they re-added all the poo poo they took out of the next gen versions, or if they even plan too? Or should I just get 14?

I think only one minor feature was planned to be reintroduced via patching. At this point you're probably better off paying the $5 or whatever for NHL 14.

It took the Wii U about a year and half of being out to go from "okay" to "must-own" (pretty much coinciding with the release of Mario Kart 8). That's kind of where the bone and PS4 are at now. The PS4 is about to get it's must own game in February (Bloodborne), and has the best multiplatforms not on PC. I don't think the Halo edition is the must-own game for the bone since it's the same 4 games we've all played before. Who knows. Apparently people are excited to play the same games over again.

Yep, avoiding your own base is going to be a necessity, especially with pubbies. I imagine it will be a race at the start of each game, move the vehicles quickly out of range before your team mate fucks them up. Should put friendly fire in that thing really.

the weird thing about PSN/Driveclub/broken Sony poo poo is how acceptable it is for people.

someone in the PS4 thread told me that PSN being down was my fault for having a lovely ISP....without even knowing what ISP I had or acknowledging the fact that Sony said that YEAH THERE'S SOME PSN ISSUES RIGHT NOW

like as much as people bag on the Xbone, there's a lot more poo poo wrong with the PS4 in my opinion. For fucks sake, you can't even use Wifi on the loving thing. If that was still an Xbone issue, we'd see it 15 times a page in this thread.

That’s not a patch. It’s content. The game is designed to run as a single, unified product, digital is seamless obviously, but we also wanted disc users to have the same experience, without swapping discs. Since the bulk of it is MP or MP related, the logic is sound. There will ALSO be a TU in there, but that in itself is a tiny fraction of the content.

We realize that this isn’t ideal for everyone, but it’s the path to the smoothest eventual experience.

Mind if I ask you what your specific problem situation is? Disc? Bandwidth cap? Slow speed? Just curious and would like to provide deeper guidance.

If fixes were required for Campaign, they would be very small, but that’s not the case. All four campaigns will run directly from the disc without the content update. As will some custom game features. Again, the bulk of the CU is MP and MP related.

quote:

No need to call bs. Anything is feasible, it simply wasn’t practical for this product, this year in this timeline. The Xbox One platform continues to improve and mature, arguably faster and more meaningfully than others and maybe next year two discs or some other method would have been the right approach, but this year it’s the option we have available that on balance, makes the most sense for this giant, ambitious project.

Do I understand the inconvenience and annoyance for some users? Of course. I’m not going to blow smoke or ignore it.

For some folks it will be straight up annoying and I both apologize unreservedly for the irritance, and hope that the package and the way it works more than makes up for it.

I’ve been playing the whole enchilada for a week now and the ability to sample, jump from aspect to aspect, customize with skulls and playlists has been absolutely addictive and mesmerizing.

I think I would have enjoyed a box set with the same fidelity, but the way it all connects has for me at least, made it more than the sum of its parts.

So while there are a couple of warriors in here with redundant agendas and concern trolls, I also get that 20 gigs is a fair old chunk of bits and it is not ideal. Most players will have a smooth and happy experience. The game will launch (including digital version) before installation is complete, so there is plenty of content to play around in while the red installs.

And we are continuing to look at ways to reduce that inconvenience.

I personally have pretty lame internet and I am doing everything via wifi, but my installation and immediate play were all pretty buttery.

Nah that's the point see, there are only like 4 actual boners in the whole thread and they are all too invested in their overpriced set top box to see its flaws.

The rest of us just miss the shark tank thread so we come here to chill out and reminisc over cool things like deak and 32mb of ram (unbelievable) and the fact they called the third (3rd) xbox the xbox one (which implies first but it's third? (3rd)).

WiFi in general is just not really reliable; you can luck out and have it work really well, but most of the time WiFi is so common that people get interference that can't be worked around. I've used WiFi with a 360, PS3, PS4 and various other devices and despite purchasing recommended routers and using custom router firmware it's never been much better than "OK, I guess" for me because everyone around me has a wireless network on different channels and there are no interference-free ones, and is basically unusable for PS4 Remote Play/PSNow because the connection quality required for it is insane.

It can be spotty and slow. The wifi receiver they put in it isn't great. I managed to fix my connection issues tweaking my router settings but it doesn't work for everybody. poo poo like psnow is totally unplayable on wifi which is disappointing since I would absolutely waste money on the thing. I've thought about moving my setup around but then I think no, I'm not gonna interchange my office and living room because that's just ridiculous. In conclusion: don't buy an old house.

There are a lot of fun games on ps4 though and personally I think TLOU mp is radical. Most fun I've had with competitive mp in a long time.

Yeah, I just said gently caress it and got a switch for all our consoles except the Nintendo poo poo - it was really easy to hide the cabling the way our gaming room is set up
