First light isn't showing as free for me. I'm in Denmark, and when I go through checkout it wants me to pay for the game. I downloaded the swapper, so I am a PS+ member. What gives?

store is weird when it's updating. just wait and try later.

question: friend of mine bought NHL15 the other day, digitally, and downloaded it. the game is completely broken. Everything is laggy and choppy. The EA logo at the starts is choppy, menus are choppy, sound falls in and out, the game itself is completely unplayable with over a second between frames.
Tried deleting and redownloading again. tried restoring licenses. restarting the machine. going offline. downloaded another game digitally, which worked fine. It's only that game that's broken, everything else works fine.
Anyone know anything about this? Google doesn't give much help, mostly people complaining about online lag.
I guess all he can do is ask for a refund?

There was an issue with the EA Sports '15 games on launch where the game would ridiculously lag if upnp was turned on, on the router. I know it was fixed in Fifa but maybe try turning off upnp on the router and booting it up to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks.
we could try. since they fixed it on fifa15, i assume a patch is underway for nhl15 too?
Will turning off upnp affect other games' online function?

It's the latter, the option to turn off tank controls was in some later games, or maybe just similar games (silent hill 2) and the transitions without the tank controls meant you usually ended up going the wrong direction, often back to the screen you were just on. Sometimes it'd loop and you'd continuously change screens as long as you held down right or whatever. Maybe they've fixed that effect too though.

some guy in a youtube video played with the new controls, and changed back to tank controls fairly early. Apparently, the game just works better with tank controls.
The first DMC handled that pretty well, when you changed screens you kept moving in the same direction until you moved the analouge stick

So they didn't fix the effect or it was just disorientating that way?

don't know, it was just a video i skimmed through some time ago to take a look at what the remaster looked like. but i remember the dude playing switching to tank controls, so it might be something to keep in mind, that if you hate that controll scheme, it still might be the best way to play the game.

Every single thing about the MGS2 situation owned, ESPECIALLY that he had an annoying girlfriend and a whiny voice. Holy poo poo that was the best. Also Snake was a badass who was a step ahead of the player most of the game so if you like Snake you should like MGS2.

i thought msg2 handled it great. you're just a dipshit who is constantly in awe of snake.

Looks like Spotify is going to be the main Music platform for PS4, even allowing playing music in the background.

loving finally. I've been waiting for this. let's hope they make good use of it combined with custom soundtracks.

Spotify is probably the best music streaming source imo

Kirios posted:


I like the minimalist approach of Pandora. Does Spotify have a similar setting where I can plug in a dozen or so artists I know I like, and maybe hear some new ones within that sphere?

you can make "radio stations" based on artists or your playlists, which will give you a mix between what you have and other stufff. There's also artist recomendations based on what you listen to.


E: VVVVVVVV fair point. this is just how it works on pc, tablet and phone.

I already pay for Spotify because I don't buy as many records as I used to and I listen to so much music it's totally worth it. So I just hope having an existing sub will cover my PS4 too.

in my experience, having one account means you can use it on whatever. i have 4 devices with spotify on 1 account.

I've been playing Diablo 3 and it's very boring. I have literally fallen asleep twice now playing it because all it seems to require is to walk into a bunch of monsters and hold down X and occasionally hit some buttons for skills. I adjusted the difficulty to Hard, thinking that would help but it's made no real difference other than maybe requiring me to hold down X for a longer period of time.

I'm playing a Barbarian because I've always liked damage-dealing tanks. Is this the problem? Is it just a boring class? I'm level 17 right now.

D3 is really easy. You can easily start the game on the third difficulty setting with no problems and then go from there. All the enemies scale depending on settings. When it gets harder you'll have to use a bit more tactics. but it's still a very basic game, all built around grinding for levels and loot.
In my opiniong barbarian is the most boring class, it'll alway be just running up to an enemy and hitting them.

It's been nearly ten years and one's internal hype engine can only run for so long.

Hell, the only reason it looks ambitious is because it's been dismantled and bolted back together from the remnants of Nomura's fever dreams. It'll be an actual-factual miracle if FFXV isn't a complete loving mess, given its history.

considering it's been built on the corpse of the original 10 year old game, it's probably going to have a lot of stuff that seems outdated already at release. This removes some of the fun that used to be in the FF series, since back in the day they were rather innovative.
