@MaccaMUFC I’d keep an eye on the free games and if there’s a month you think almost pays for itself, then subscribe. You have to keep subscribed to keep the games though.
@NecuVise@Jaz007 That’s exactly why I’m not going to bother with it, all the exclusives I’ve listed that I want are mainly focused on single player. I don’t like the idea of having to keep subscribing to play the games, I’d rather own or rent them as some will have no replay value when I’ve finished the game.
I’ve not been able to boot the game up yet, but I really like the dynamic theme that came with my pre-order .
The Rez Infinite theme had a good run!
Lives, Lived, Will Live.
Dies, Died, Will Die.

Why the freak is 47GB not enough to download a Battlefield 1 update? It's got all updates but whatever the latest one is. This is ridiculous.
Edit: It wants me to have 77GB open, what is this?
Edit 2: The update is 1.87GB........
@Jaz007 I had the same issue with Destiny 2, the size of the update was really small but the update wouldn't install until I freed up something like another 20gb or something. It sucks cos I couldn't play the game until it had installed and I had left my ps4 in rest mode all week to download it. I only got an error message when I tried to play the game.

Anyone else interested in 11-11 Memories Retold? It's a narrative-based game set in WWI. It has lots different endings depending on your choices and actions. So I imagine it being like a cross between Edith Finch and Life is Strange, in terms of gameplay.
@Kidfried In fact, it has "tolerated this crap" until now. Sony has only begun getting censorious recently. Shinovi Versus, the rhythm game, Estival Versus, and presumably Peace Beach Splash were all completely uncensored, and there were no problems with their localizations.
Anyway, censorship never just stops with stuff you don't like. It always wants to overextend, and, eventually, it'll start affecting things you actually care about.
The devs of the new Toejam and Earl indicated on twitter that Sony also wanted them to censor something in their game. I'm curious to hear what that's about.
From what I've seen of the game, it's rather... tasteless... However, I don't agree with censoring it. To each their own, right? Everyone can (or should be able to) make their own decisions about what they want to play.
So what is the protocol that PS4 uses when downloading an update file for a game? Sometimes when I turn on my PS4, it will start auto-updating a random game I never play ( like Fortnite) yet not update a game I’m playing currently and regularly (like Tomb Raider), until I launch the game.
I would have thought the system will recognize the games being played recently and update those automatically and the ones that haven’t been launched in an age will be left un-updated until they are played. It doesn’t seem to follow this logic all the time. Anyone else notice this?

@Th3solution The auto-updates not working drives me nuts. I wanna say (without confidence) on PS3 it was based if was such and such in your last played games. Which was absolutely bogus because on the PS3 auto-updates are part of Plus, a paid service, so they need to work as advertised. If there’s an update, it gets downloaded. Simple as that.
@Jaz007 I guess I’m not the only one then. Yeah, I would have expected the updates to be automatic, but sometimes they are and sometimes they’re not. It’s hit-or-miss. It would have been nice if the PS4 would have updated the game I’m actually playing so I don’t have to wait for that, other than updating a game I haven’t played in months.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution@Jaz007 Yep I've noticed this as well. When Forsaken for Destiny 2 was being rolled out I left my console on Rest mode for a few days so that the update would download, as I knew it was going to be quite big. No updates for D2 were installed but for other games they did.
The update file only started downloading when I next fired up the game. Then I was getting an error message saying that I need more space for the update, even though I have more than enough space as I deleted/move stuff purposely for the update. It would have only take an hour to download, but as I wanted to play something on my PS4 as soon as I started a game the time got a lot longer. Really annoying cos I had hyped myself up bit to play D2 with he new update.
I'm not sure if it focuses on games you don't play as I was still receiving updates for games I was playing. Maybe It is decided by the developer and the game and the update on how this works?
Games like Fortnite and H1Z1 I deleted off my console due to the constant updates. I was keeping just incase I wanted to play them, but in reality I probably was never going to and the updates were getting on my nerves a bit.

@RogerRoger Good idea, but you shouldn't have to do manually check for updates if you have Automatic Updates set to 'On'. That is like totally the point of having that option there.
I just realized that you NEED to have an active psplus subscription to have autodownloads in rest mode! What year is this, 2008? I hope Sony removes this atrocious requirement as I really see no sense in it. I'd also like to see removing of psplus requirement for online saves. In this day and age it should be free.
