My PS4 is having an issue that when I google yields a lot of different answers, so I'll be specific:

Twice in the last week playing Destiny 2 (digital copy) the screen will go black and the PS4 will make a horrible buzzing sound almost like it's eating up a disc for like three seconds, then the screen will black out. It sounds like the PS4 shuts off but the light stays on, and I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to start up again.

Here are my guesses

1. I haven't dusted it in too long, so maybe it's a heat issue.
2. It's connected to a kinda faulty power chord.
3. It's also really old

Also worth noting that inbetween these crashes I've probably had ~5 hours of playing that weren't a problem at all

So if this has ever happened to you or you're aware of a solution to the problem in any capacity I'd appreciate any insight. I'd also like to know if it's 1 or 2 if it's too late to fix the issue with dusting or finding a better power source. Thx.

Pop the lid off and really get into it with a can of air, get a cord that probably isn't shorting. If the issue continues, it might be the power supply which is like $50 and slots right in.

What attitude problem?
I was thinking about picking up NHL 18 since it has the expansion modes, but Amazon only has digital codes for it. I have some gift cards and ideally would want to get it through them, but it seems odd they don't have physical copies for preorder. Has that become more of a thing lately or just an anomaly?

It's been so long since that argument happened, I don't even remember which game it was that we weren't supposed to say had a boat.

Was it The Witness? Or maybe it was Human Fall Flat. One of those has a boat.

Titanfall 2 is 11.99 right now. Seems almost unfairly cheap for this gens best shooter, but anyone who hasn't picked it up already would be nuts not to for that price.

It's worth that price for the campaign alone, I payed $20 for the campaign + coop and would have payed double if I knew how fun it was

You can get to level 20 by already playing the story. It's the grind to 260 that I just don't find fun even with podcasts going. This game feels like work. I was out of gaming for Destiny 1, so I got to find out if Destiny was for me with the sequel. It probably isn't! Should've spent that gift card on Yakuza 0.

Yeah, there's a lot of grinding in D2 but the initial campaign isn't at all bad. The main storyline is fairly short and you don't hit 20 before it's over you get boosted to that anyway.

Anyone looking for a PUBG type game on PS4 should check out Fortnite. They began testing their Battle Royale mode yesterday:

If pubg is also pay to win garbage, I'll be much less interested when it eventually comes to ps4.

its super funny to read "what do two battle royale games have in common" after you just suggested people interested in a loot grinding mostly pve shooter buy a mostly pvp focused shooter instead. and yes i know titanfall 2 has a story mode but that's also not in the same vein.

Up until this post, all I have seen written about Fortnight is that it runs poorly and the micro transactions are awful. Say more about why it's good?

Yeah I noticed this too, which sucks because I usually get new games on amazon because if you have prime they're $48 for the physical copy.

They didn't have physical Maddden either until like the day before release I think, so EA and Amazon seem to not be playing nice with each other.

Titanfall 2 is great.

Destiny 2 is great.

Diablo 3 is great.

Dragon Age Inquisition is dogshit.

they havent added micro transactions for pvp yet.

Runs fine on my PS4 Pro, there might be some lag at the start of games but it's tolerable. Biggest complaint is the travel time on bullets.

I don't have a PC for PUBG so being able to play a battle royale was the main selling point.

I don't think that technically counts because there were two crystal sages lore-wise and both of them are basically bosses because they both stay dead when you kill them.

Despite all the ways the prequel could have been terrible it's appropriately Life is Strangey so far, against all odds. That being said you can probably afford to wait until Episode 2 & 3 because the story doesn't really pick up until the final moments of the first.

Hm... Titanfall 2 for $15 or buying a whole new console plus a full price Zelda game. Tough call.
