Wooo boy the ps4 thread is hopping right now. PSN getting DDOS'd or w/e by lizard squad the last 2 days and goons talking about what they feel they're entitled to. And some goon keeps calling PSN customer service and is mad he's getting the run around? Not sure what he wants/expects

Does suck people got a ps4 or new games and can't play them


I guess some hacker doxxed some of the lizard squad dudes? lizardsquad.info and its a bunch of American/British kids idk



And whoever this is paid them off...maybe?

i never asked for this
I know you guys are smart and I'm not gonna lower myself to post in the PS4 thread but a DDOS is not a hack but it is an attack. There is little defense against a DDOS attack outside of being huge (amazon, google) and small services like xbl and psn are very visible places that are especially vulnerable to rich high school kids who buy botnets.

People getting upset that their gaming service is down are super lol. Go do something else you loving losers the games will still be there in a few days.

People have tried to reason with those idiots. I feel bad for the kids who couldn't use their new console today, though. If 12 year old Holly Bloopers couldn't play his new ps2 on Christmas day he'd be crushed.

They don't care if it's a hack or not they want to be reimbursed a couple months of PSN or maybe a free game or two


But yeah some games need a patch or something which sucks. I remember my Xmas dreamcast and would be pretty pissed as well if I couldn't play it

Gifting free months of PS+ sets the standard that any outage warrants more PS+ time. Like yea compensation is cool and all, but a DDOS attack that results in a few days of outages to which Sony gives subscribers PS+ time could only encourage more DDOS attacks.

To be fair, not being able to access online poo poo on your PS4 kind of sucks. We set aside time for my son to play video games with his cousin across the country and haven't been able to do it. It's not the end of the world but it is an inconvenience.

It totally is. That's the price we pay for relying so heavily on always connected services. People are assholes.

I do think it's funny when Microsoft pushes always online so hard for DRM but can't keep its own service from frequently going down for days at a time. There's so much stuff that gets knocked out by PSN/Xbox Live going down that you wouldn't expect to be tied to online services.

Haven't really played a PC game in like, 4 months now.

I am on really lovely wifi for the next week and a half so downloading a game is pretty much not going to happen. It turns out that there's not only a Micro Center near me, but they actually sell physical PC games. So I used my external CD drive from work to install it off physical discs like I'm a loving caveman.

I got about five minutes into the new Dragon Age before this was literally me:

What kind of bullshit future is this where a couple 12 year olds can bring down the services of billion dollar corporations indefinitely with little effort? The threat of North Korean and Chinese hackers must be completely overblown if they're not already locking down every American company with a public facing service 24/7.

i've decided i hate the steam sale, because here's the list of games i've bought in the last month (i realise some of them don't count as steam)
final fantasy vii
aoe2
deadnaut
empire, medieval, rome, shogun, shogun 2, rome 2
far cry 1-3
killing floor
civ iv and v
sins of a solar empire
metal gear rising
elite dangerous
just cause 2

this on top of the xbone i bought last month with
destiny
shadow of mordor
alien isolation
forza 5
walking dead

i just dunno when the gently caress i'll find time to play all of those, on top of the enormous back catalog i have from gog.com
destiny's pretty awesome, i'm enjoying alien, and elite is the tits, but seriously i just don't have time for all of them

If you think of it as GI Joe the FPS with Kevin Spacey as the Cobra Commander it gets even better. That mission in Antarctica was cool as poo poo and most of the game is paced really well. It only really falls apart at the end
