My proudest platinum. In the 0.2 percentile according to PSN. Should tell you how much I played the multiplayer; it's honestly very good.

Such negativity here.
I for one disagree with all of you and am currently jumping back on my PS4 for probably the 2000th hour since I bought it at launch. No other console or PC I've owned has gotten this much use, and I'm a serious gamer. I'm loving the exclusives, I'm loving the remasters (yeah, TLoU was "just a port" pfft) and loving most of the indies. I love the controller and even the bloody gimmicks like the controller speaker and light in Transistor. Also, share play is such an amazing idea. I love these things so much I'm pretty much overlooking the PSN and FW issues, as I'm sure they'll stabilise.
If I'm this happy this early into the life of the console, and it's clearly a success, the so-called investment has already paid off; I'm profiting at the moment and the future is bright for me on the PS4 once the big boys really start utilising the capabilities of it.
I'll let you all get back to your grumpy party now. Happy Halloween!

@mikey85 still don't see the option yet... In UK as well.

It's completely unrealistic, wishful thinking, but SE haven't made a goos FF since 10. Thus I wish they would just can 15, 16....nn, and just remake 7 to 10 for new consoles. Not HD remake, but actually rebuild those amazing games, from the ground up, in a new engine, potentially with VAs (although that might kill it...) with some of the mechanics updated.
I would literally cream myself if such an announcement was made. Alas, we'll probably just continue to get more bland and meh FFs for the foreseeable future...

Played this with a friend. Neither of us had any idea what it was. We had a laugh, albeit were scared to crap the whole time. Best thing for me was the constant volume control. I kept turning it down (played with surround, which is amazing btw!) cos the background noises were freaking me dafaq out. He kept making it louder when I didn't notice to piss me off.
Also fun was the Lisa jump scare. Trying our best to not act scared after the fact was pretty hilarious.

@Paranoimia I want to shout Xbox On at my PS4...you know, like Xbox
You are right though. Having worked in the service industry for many years, I can safely say that customers do not really know what they want. Let me qualify that: individually, they know what they want, but to assume that collectively they form some kind of hive mind, is rather ludicrous. Cater to the majority, and you'll piss off the minority...the minority could very well be 49% of your customer base though.
My take it on it, do what Apple does. I absolutely loathe their products, but they effectively don't want me to buy them. Instead, only people who love their products wholeheartedly do, which means they have a VERY loyal and happy customer base, who will spread the word. How is this possible? They say "here is what you want" rather than "we're listening to your feedback".

Feel sorry for Evolution. This might just break them.

While graphics aren't paramount for me, if GTA5 runs at 60fps on PS4, I'm definitely buying it. I recently played it online with on PS3 affer almost a year on PS4 and the framerate gave me a headache. Funny how we get spoiled by better hardware. :&

@FiDRoC @get2sammyb hmm shame, but fair enough I guess. Hopefully more players will be supported in the future.

@FiDRoC omg, YES!! I've only had the pleasure of playing that with friends once, and what a laugh it was. Now we can play all the time!
It's only 1 other player though right? Surely 3 people can't connect to my ps4 for a 4 player co op game??

@ztpayne7 thanks. Read the comments on EU blog and the mod implied it's coming in a future update. With Sony, who knows what that means. Think they would've announced it though since it's highly sought after.
Hm, kinda wish they would adopt a monthly release schedule like MS. This is far too random.

This is great but personally DLNA support is all I need... Annoyed they added MP3 playback (seems rather useless) before DLNA (which millions of people did/do on ps3).
Ahh well, hopefully soon.

Those were my best years of gaming... Boo to the wet blankets; who doesn't like a little nostalgia from time to time!

@Bad-MuthaAdebis i just did daily heroic and got energy AGAIN hehe.

@Godsire- it could've been a mass effect scale MMO, which sounds badass... Instead we got solid, if not some of the best, fps mechanics and challenging missions, but unfortunately without much base or back story. It's very fun to play but it could've been something truly great. Ahh well, i don't care as I'm on it every damn day regardless.

87h 17m here. I can totally relate to those stats.
I'll keep playing games until I play the raid. Then I'll review whatever new content comes out.
@Bad-MuthaAdebis you sound rather confident in picking up 14 shards... When I do the daily heroic on 28 my party always gets shards and I always get energy
But damn, the game's got me hooked and am now prepping for the raid. Level 28 with legendary and exotic gear already but want to level everything first. If anyone wants to play hit my clan up here http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Playstation/134091 or add me on PSN capitales7

@Bad-MuthaAdebis personally, this game was a highlight of last gen for me. Best open world game I've played after RDR (although RDR wins on story, SD's gameplay is head and shoulders above it). This game made GTA5 boring for me and it's sad it's so overlooked. Therefore, I highly recommend you pick it up, particular if you enjoy sandbox games.

Come to think of it, some of my all time favourite games have been ones I knew nothing about. Perhaps that's why I stay clear of revies altogether nowqdays...

Agree with what @Tasuki said, it's getting out of hand. Each release hypes itself like it's the second coming, only to be... well, a good game, but one the hype faaaarrr supercedes.
I learned long ago not to follow the hype and just make up my own mind.

Furthermore, I honestly don't see the value of reviews short of explaining if there are any serious issues with a game. I love some games that are 40 on metacritic and loathe others that are 95...people have different tastes, so how can we make decisions on subjective things by being told something is good or bad. Doesn't make sense to me in the slightest.
Take Killzone and Driveclub for example. The negative criticisms most reviewers gave those were positive points for me. Meanwhile the things GTA was laudes for were exactly the things I hated about the game.
My point is that this article is moot because review scores have no actual value other than giving gamers something interesting to read in the form of someone's opinion...

@RawWilson1 I genuinely considered subscribing to MU, but I currently pay £8 a month for Google all access and unfortunately MU couldn't match the catalogue of Google. Tbh, for my tastest, it didn't even come close. Makes me sad, cos I really would've liked to stream some stuff while grinding some Destiny or whatever.

That was class.

The photographer is clearly missing the point of the game, but worse, perpetuating the usual stigma against gamers and reinforcing the myth that violent games somehow desensitises us in real life.
Jimquisition sums the situation up far more eloquently than I ever could: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/6692-Desensitized-to-Violence
Like most people here, I've played games, many of which were violent, since the tender age of two. Yet I cannot stomach watching the news when they show little kids being carried bloodied up by their grieving parents. Nor can I stomach the suicide in that video...

People forget the FIFA 15 demo came out the same day, and the half of my friends is who didn't download Destiny, were downloading that, so hats off indeed.
I've had VERY minor issues within a few hours of the launch, and I mean minor: a message had to be retried (sending messages was a bit slower than usual in general) and my party got killed once... Other than that, no issues, and I I've been on Destiny for approximately 5 hours per night.

Even though I've left this series long behind, I must admit I'm curious about this outing. I'll wait for general consensus before buying though.
I've also been wondering: if the majority of CoD games score 8 or 9 from most critics, and Advanced Warfare truly is groundbreaking as opposed to the usual rehashed rubbish they churn out year after year, how should this be scored...?
/thisonegoesto11

Dunno, played 5 solid hours, and only just got out of Old Russia. Played the first level on the moon too. It's down to how well the game is designed, where it allows you to get totally side tracked and start exploring. As a result, I'm near level 10 and got some kick ass gear already.
I did do 4 bounties (one of which involved playing 5 control missions on crucible) so that padded out my time, but that's how I choose to play the game; it'll take me a LOT longer than 10 to finish the story.

I've just binged on 4 seasons of Suits... This is clever advertising (legally speaking).

Is it weird that the firmware update is what I'm most excited about...? =
Actually, bloodborne is right up there too.

@N711 not sure, probably not since other services got hit too. They do seem like kids though. Their tweets imply sooooo much juvenile tension you can almost hear the breaking voices behind it.

I wish more people understood how the Internet works. So much flame going on on the webs at the moment. A DDoS != a hack. It's 'merely' a network packet flood that denies service. Nothing high tech or 'hacky' about it and no access to any server can happen during a DDoS, thus nothing can ever be stolen.
Oh and btw, != == not equal to.

Family is out, house to myself, off work for a week. I think it's time to play TLoU properly now, with sound system and all.

Everyone chill, take the day off and go to Notting Hill Carnival. That is of course if you're in the southern half of the UK...
Wait, online gaming isn't affected?! False alarm all, stay at home and play gaemz!

For once a parity clause would actually make sense.
Imagine if Sony told SE that due to the exclusivity TR can't be released on Sony platforms. Ouch.
All in all, MS wasted tonnes of money on this deal. Even the perception of exclusivity didn't last more than a few days.

Reduced to tears (from laughing) by the sheer randomness of that London hot dog. Sooo tempted to get it now.
What does it signify? What is it trying to capture? How does it relate to anything at all? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEEEAAANN?!
The worst thing about these is the price. Meanwhile for 20p I got this kick ass Deus Ex avatar: http://psnprofiles.com/lib/img/avatars/m/cce89f.png

@LDXD haha! I think most of us got a really good scare. Personally, based on the demo, I'm gonna pass on this... Don't think my stomach can handle a full game like this

Brilliant demo, what a great marketing idea to get hype going.
Played this with a friend at 2pm on a sunny day and it still scared me ****less.
PRO TIP: IF YOU HAVE SURROUND SOUND, TURN THAT **** UP!!!

_{Language - get2sammyb}

Also, @rastamadeus PushSquare always report Sony platforms. Conversely, PureXbox only report MS platforms. I think they are sister sites, with differing focus. Most people who read these sites know that, hence why they don't get shit for it.

sigh Wish CoD would stop getting so much attention (although it generates clicks, so I can see how it makes sense). I don't want it to die or whatever, but I wish it would move into class of games like LoL, Dota and WoW; VERY mainstream, played by millions, but doesn't really get much news coverage. Most gamers have stopped caring about this franchise, but it's rammed down our throats regularly. Case in point, I use Appy Gamer app to read up on gaming news. Even big, breaking stories only have 4-5 articles from various feeds. The latest CoD MP news had THIRTEEN consecutive articles, with another 3 further down. That's 13 articles of "Latest CoD MP news" in a ROW! WHY?!
The proof that people don't care? They were ALL marked either as "don't care" or as "game over" by the community readers.
In summary, gamers don't care, news sites over-report (if that's a word).

Gravity rush 2??? Didn't even know that was a thing! Yes. Yessss!! That!!!

Fears: no mention of The Last Guardian, Vita support and regular firmware updates.

OK sorry, had to post a 9 min video of pork bun guy quotes: http://youtu.be/C2giwC3AGy8

First of all, A MAN WHO DOESNT HAVE A PORK BUN IS NEVER A WHOOOLEE MAAAN!!
Wish I hadn't platinumd this already. One of my fave games last gen, and as an open world crime game, personally I found it wayyyyy better than the overrated GTA5. If anyone missed it last gen, be sure to pick this up. It was largely overlooked, which is shame, cos it's just a solid, fun game, with excellent fighting and driving mechanics.

Two things get to me about this bullsh*t lawsuit:

1) How many people defend this in the comments of the original polygon article. Seriously, f*ck you guys.

2) Guerilla invented new technologies to create a game that graphically took my breath away (spent ages staring at the small details). Not just the frame buffer stuff, but the dynamic animation technology and the AMAAAAZZINNG MADDR audio (play the game with good 7.1 headphones or a sound system to hear the awesomeness). They are nothing short of geniuses in their field and some cockface thinks it's his right to sue them.

Really get sick of living on this planet sometimes...

Usually when someone makes something overly terrible, it's meant to be sarcastic...in this case however, I think this was just "terrible".

@RaymanFan2 will keep that in mind... Or er, out of mind??
I did really enjoy UC2 MP tho, but I'm good at separating experiences

Played one match on PS3 but didn't really feel it. However, I think I didn't give it enough chance. Will try it again on PS4. Perhaps I will like it since it seems to differentiate itself from the usual crappy tacked on MP modes.
Also, UC2 MP was brilliant, particularly the survival modes.

@DBassW aaaaaand I've found my new wallpaper!
@get2sammyb your last one is brilliant.

Hah! Nice!
Would be fun if dancing was a mini mini-game and you had to hit a few timed button prompts to dance ever more awesome.

@WARDIE TLOU on PS3 was a last gen game. On PS4 it's current gen. It's completely rebuilt from the ground up, rather than being a glorified skin mod.

Personally I'll go for 60 I think, as the smooth gameplay is just heaven. Movies are meant to be cinematic, games should be....uhr....gamimatic...?

@get2sammyb either that, or there just isn't much other than graphics to show off...

@ShogunRok I do too tbh. Don't want to miss dialogue due to a passing ambulance or something.
Edit: My titan

Got an orange haired/striped awoken hunter too... which looks a lot like @get2sammyb

I can see why Bungie were so loved in Camp MS all these years (never owned an xbox). What an astonishing game this is, and considering it's a beta, it's pretty damn smooth.
If anyone is playing tonight, add me: capitales7
