What do you guys hate about day 1 patches especially since most of you are digital bois? As a RPT I don't mind them and I ESPECIALLY love that this gen they just dl automatically the second I put the disc in. I hated last gen when my gamer dick would be hard as gently caress and edgy ready to get freaky, start the game up and NNNNNOPE as my ps3/360 basically pulls its panties back up and says "I have to go to the bathroom" while it DLs some gigantic fuckin patch only AFTER I tried launching the game UGH

Here's a good vid I watched last month about the importance and reason for day 1 patches and why they're never going away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4zhOpCrq3s (Great channel btw I don't think anyone watched it but their 360 RROD vid is a fantastic watch if u get some time)

Guillermus posted:I agree with that of course. I mean it's activision and they're trying to get people to buy it. Probably one Activision executive wanted it for himself out of nostalgia and they looked the cheapest way to release it on PS4 to scratch some money. If a game is encouraging to get the digital release is this one. There's zero reason to separate them out like this without going out of their way to do it on purpose. It's not like there's no space on the disc left either, because the Crash Bandicoot came in at about 20-something GB all told. That's barely half the capacity of a PS4 Blu-Ray disc.

I don’t mind patches at all. Usually they excite me. I love playing video games and if an aspect of video gaming isn’t making me happy I shift my focus to something else or adjust my perception of the situation.

Yes, although not nearly as expansive as most sandbox crime games. Enjoyable, however very repetitive, gameplay, stellar soundtrack and setting, nice power fantasy plot.

Ever since I got a PS4 with 5G connection it’s downloaded at close to a gig a minute when I’m near the router, whether it’s plugged in or just via WiFi, so can’t say I really relate to the “PSN servers are bad!!!!” issue. I mean they were terrible when I was on the base model that only had 2G, but since I upgraded it’s been totally fine.

beep by grandpa posted:Answer me, cowards. I got no problem with day one patches, those make sense. I do totally sympathize with folks who have bandwidth caps on their internet, buying a physical copy of a game so they minimize the amount of downloading they have to do, only to find out that they'll still have to download 2 out of 3 games anyway.

I only was able to properly purchase games when they went digital, so it's just tuesday for me. But then again I don't even buy games on Day 1 so

Neddy Seagoon posted:It's far better than it was in the early 00's, where you've got up to 2-3 visually-identical iterations of a game disc out the wild over the course of its reprints that may or may not have fixed the errant value that makes a boss fight nigh-unwinnable, or let you get that one bugged-out collectable for 100%. If they bother to fix it in reprints at all. The class action lawsuit over GTA: San Andreas should have been about Supply Lines, not Hot Coffee

CoD has frustrated me into submission and I'm about to crawl back to battlefield like a battered partner who just knows it will be different this time. Just to double check, is "battlefield 1 revolution" the one I'm gong to want to buy here? If it's not as fun as 3 and 4 were, i will also accept "for the love of god don't buy that."ElwoodCuse posted:The class action lawsuit over GTA: San Andreas should have been about Supply Lines, not Hot Coffee Oh my god supply loving lines I got it when i read the specific order in which you needed to blow up the trucks, and i remember it seeming like a bizarre solution no one would have come up with without googling it Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Aug 3, 2018 |

Man... I’ve been up for 24 hours, feeling a little weird but not bad. I decided a few days ago that I’m finally getting back into World of Warcraft. I miss it a lot, haven’t played in a few years. I’m very much in the mood to get back in now and play the new expansion when it drops. Just now I got my install all in order and ready to go. I click launch and get an error. I google that error and realize that World of Warcraft will no longer work on my iMac because it doesn’t have the Apple Metal API. I don’t want to use Windows on the computer so until I get a new computer I won’t be able to play one of my favorite games. What does that have to do with the PS4? A lot. It’s time. I’m reaching for my strong, handsome and honorable Japanese friends to help me destress and have a good time. I’m booting up Yakuza 0.

The wife picked up Yakuza PC. The draw distance is better, the textures and lighting look even nicer, and she does better with disco and karaoke on KB/M. Yakuza is cool and good. So we’ll go to the gym tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday and then be lazy and play FFXIV and Yakuza.

Akuma posted:Thank Christ someone actually uses the KB/M controls. I think more work went into that than any other part of the port! Interesting that she finds disco and karaoke easier; internally most people found them much harder. My wife didn’t console game at all after N64. Until we met the only games she played were Pokémon and Sims. I got her back into console gaming, but she still finds KB/M way easier than controller. She loved watching me play 0 and she loved playing it herself on her PS4, but she’s over the moon with the PC port. Thanks for all your good work!
