I'm probably going to upgrade my PS4 hard drive today. I know you can back-up save data to the cloud, but what about shareplay data and game captures/screenshots? Can I save them to a flash drive and then transfer them back?

If you figure out a transfer back method for screenshots/captures, please post about it because I didn't see an obvious way in the GUI.

It's kind of crazy to think that there is (probably) grown adults out there that spend their days making memes and arguing about what console is better in Youtube comments. They could have spent all that precious time saving up money to buy a gun they could shoot themselves in the head with too.

Now, we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. You know, by God, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against. By God, I do. We're not just going to shoot the bastards. We're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Sony bastards by the bushel.

Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken-out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Ponies are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do.

Stux posted:

if you look at the actual full video, taking into account its rips from streams etc, the game looks basically the same. there is stuff like drake getting slammed against a wall which has water running down it, that water then soaking his clothes and when a gun is fired near him soon after showing specular highlights from the water residue. or when he goes into water in a cave and has it making his clothes wet where the water actually touches, and this then changing the look of his clothes similarly to how he was at the beginning of the E3 video. someones made that "comparison" just to get people riled up.

It really doesn't look the same, but at the same time no one should be getting upset about it. Anyone who actually expected it to look like that was just ignorant of how "in-game engine" cinematic trailers really are. They always look better than actual gameplay, and it's the same thing with previous Uncharted Trailers, except maybe Uncharted II which was really insanely impressive.

Latest update on error CE-36244-9, the "cannot download" message. Other people on the telltale message boards are having the same problem.

I've tried restoring licenses, and multiple internet connections.

The strangest and latest twist is that I had a friend over for drinks and he brought over his ps3. I logged into my psn account and tried to download it to HIS system... and the same exact error in the same place.

I'm not even sure calling Sony will help; they'll just shrug and offer a refund.

And I don't want a loving refund - I want to play the goddamn game I bought.

Forget the great graphics, the near-perfect controller, the ability to plug in headphones simply to the controller, it just feels super futuristic to be like, huh I'm gonna pause GTAV and watch Netflix and then do it in like 8 seconds.

poo poo, Duckman has an episode where two characters sing two lines from a song (basically a cutaway gag, no musical accompaniment or anything) and they had to edit it out on the DVD. Song in question is from 1914. :psyduck:

God I love Duckman. It really is one of the best animated shows ever made, especially due to Jason Alexander and Tim "I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO PEEL OFF MY FACE" Curry.

I googled what got cut from Duckman DVD releases and it seems like many episodes from each season had some cuts in one way or another. Maybe one day we'll see a rerelease on BluRay with uncut episodes but that's probably not going to happen.

There was a similar problem with the release of Hohokum and I was one of the people affected. Basically it's not your account or the game that is the problem but your purchase data is somehow corrupt (yeah what the gently caress I don't now) so having Sony give a refund and then trying to buy again is your best bet.

Oh I did that a while ago. Literally every aspect of this game makes me want to doze off.I wish there was one thing I could cling to to keep me going but really there isn't a single thing that I enjoy about this game. The story, the combat, the quests, the environments, the art design...Everything about it seems bland as poo poo and I just can't get invested in it at all.

they say that there's easy like 30 hours of meaningless content there and nothing cool happens in the few story missions until the one that unlocks area two.

Basically you play through the game's introduction to the story with cutscenes and conversations then get sent to the Hinterlands which is filled with sidequests, a lot of which are MMOish kill or fetch quests. A lot of OCD people burn out trying to do all of the optional sidequests instead of leaving the Hinterlands and progressing the story.

man what



Dragon Age Inquisition is pretty good, although the 'main plot' isn't as much a part of the game as it is in previous games. It's still cool.

What 'get out of the Hinterlands' means:
The non-story areas are basically gigantic, MMO-style zones with MMO-sidequests in them. Sometimes parts of the main story or companion quests happen in them too. Completing sidequests gives you Power, which you use to unlock the next set of story quests from your War Room. There's also a bunch of other side-stuff in the war room that you can send your advisors to do for bonuses. You're supposed to go check on your war-room every hour or so, and it's expected that at the end of a play session you'll set your advisors to each do some ungodly long (like, 22 hours for the longest) sidemission so that when you pick the game up the next day it'll be done.

The Hinterlands is the very first big zone you encounter. It's one of the biggest. It also has at least twice the number of sidequests of anywhere else, the majority of which are really boring. You only need like 8 power to unlock the next bit of the story, which also unlocks like four more characters to join you. But it's common for new players to go to the Hinterlands the first time and try to clear the entire thing out in one go.

What you're supposed to do is go to the Hinterlands for the first time, tool around a bit, do some of the immediate sidequests. Then you go back to base, fiddle with the war room, do the next bit of the story, recruit those four guys, and then resume doing the bits of the Hinterlands that look interesting to you.
Don't forget to go get the horses.

Unless you intentionally build up an over abundant amount of static on your body and then intentionally put your fingers all over the exposed circuitry on the bottom of the drive, I don't see anything you should be worried about. It's honestly the last thing I'm worried about getting ESD when handled. Your carpet is fine, just don't touch the circuit board as there's no need to.
