I bought both a PS4 and Xbone last week. Been using the PS4 mostly for Dragon Age when it up and stopped working.

The blue light came on, then immediately turned off. The good news is I took it back to Best Buy yesterday and was able to exchange broken PS4 for the GTAV/TLoU bundle, which is cool.

The bad news is 50 hours of Dragon Age are just gone.

I do have plus, but when I went to download my stored data online, it said I had no stored data. My only guess is I bought PSN+ after I started playing the game, so it flagged as a non-auto upload title.

Are TLOU and GTA5 digital or physical copies in the bundle? I've already played TLOU and am not interested in GTA5 so I'd like to flip them if I get the bundle.

TLOU is digital but i think it's a voucher so you could still hock it.

Digital TLOU is still around 25$ on Amazon. so you might get that for it.

But it is a good fun game no matter how many goons want to be edgy and say its bad.

What is framerate like on FC4? Doesn't have to be a constant 30-60fps, just not stutter like the PC port.

It does occasionally randomly stutter but very rarely. Idk, once every hour on average.

I just bought the PS4 version, so haven't had a chance to play any of it, but assuming it's like the PC version, Crusader is the class I had the most fun with. The skills are fun, the loot looks cool, and they seem plenty powerful at endgame.

I started as crusader and got kind of bored because its best tactic is to stand perfectly still and keep casting buffs on yourself. Monk or demon hunter involve dashing all around, that's more my style.

Demon hunter end game is hitting drop turret button every x seconds and hiding in adjacent rooms. Its not that much action tbh.

But there's a d3 console thread

Positive views on FC4 performance. I don't mean to be cheeky but does anyone have a spare key to Kyrat laying around? I downloaded the demo without reading the description and wanted to try it before pulling the trigger a second time (PC port, as well as stuttering, has a weird issue where when using a game pad, sections refuse to load or the map is empty with weird textures). Which is a shame as it seem perfect for sloth play (couch and a pad).

Death is whimsical today

As someone who has a relatively low tolerance for "open world" games without a cohesive narrative, would I like Sleeping Dogs remaster for PS4? I don't mind running around a bit but I'd like there to be a story tying poo poo together and not a boatload of side missions that have no bearing on anything.

Sleeping Dogs wouldn't be for you, then. Its main story barely hangs together because so much of it was cut in development.

Okay I snagged that one during the summer for $30. I agree, it is good. I was worried I was missing a sequel or something.

I hated the game more than most games I've played (and I play a lot). I wouldn't suggest it at that price if you're just looking to play some video game. If you're familiar with the title - watch a bit of a lets play, know the criticisms of the game, things like that - and the negative stuff doesn't seem all that bad to you, $30 might still not get you every dollars worth but it wouldn't be too bad. $25 or less really would be much better for what you get and I'd be surprised if it didn't reach that price somewhere way down the road from now.

I'm certain in saying, if you passed up this deal and never found a better one, you wouldn't be missing out on anything.

I think this game is the one to get me back into game fly again. Rather pay them to suffer through it and get to try some other stuff.

I feel like these lesser games will be a ps+ freebie in a year or so and I will be sad if I dropped 30$ on it.

Watching the trailer on psn, boy those graphics look poo poo.

On PS4 it's a perfect 30 at 1080p. The anti-aliasing is pretty incredible too, some of the best I've ever seen. The power lines, banners, foliage and trees are flawless. It's really one of the best looking games I've seen on console, exceptional considering how smoothly it runs.
