I have to admit that I am more disappointed in CDPR'S fall from grace than the terrible state of the game. They were supposed to be one of the last few good guys, and yet here we are, their reputation in tatters. Its going to take a lot more than few meaningless hollow corporate PR statements apologising for their clear and deliberate deceit before I can ever trust them again. Actions speak louder than words.
@Arnna it is you that clearly has a narrow world view as you have instantly judged me without even knowing what it is I don't like about the game. You should reevaluate your own narrow minded bigoted opinions before casting baseless aspersions on others.
Normally hate spoilers (obviously) but in this case I'm glad I accidentally saw the leaks as I don't agree at all with the direction the game appears to have taken. So I won't be pre ordering the game based on what I've seen so far. If however the leaks didn't accurately portray the game then maybe I will purchase it at a later date
And yet despite all the outrage and controversy the game will still make a ton of money and once again prove that publishers can make any old crap and 'gamers' will still buy anything.
Don't forget that they've admitted to altering the demo's gameplay and economy, just until the positive reviews go out, and then they flick the switch turning on the heinous grind and microtransactions.
Yet another franchise I used to love that I no longer buy. BFV has been a total disaster, and I won't be going back to Battlefield until Dice gets their mojo back, or until EA stops forcing yearly iterations.
Played it for a few hours and I don't like it (in its current beta form at least) it feels like the complete opposite of everything I love about the main single player experience.
You could clearly see what a massive pile of dated buggy garbage this game was from all the YouTube videos berating this unfinished half arsed product. So anyone complaining now after buying it, only have themselves to blame.
Strong arming players into online multiplayer to get the platinum is nothing more than a shameless tactic to generate more cash from microtransactions.
I think playstation owners had every reason to feel disgruntled with the previous MS exclusivity deal. Taking an already established multiplatform title and tying it to one platform for a quick buck was a big mistake, and I turned my back on this franchise ever since.
@get2sammyb I did buy it, pity I can't play it due to the infamous NY gate bug that repeatedly prevents me from progressing because the damn gate won't open after solving the puzzle.
Fix the UI lag, fix the media player audio lag, ditch the dreadful what's new section and roll back the notifications tab to its previous version for starters.
@KingSimba its been months now since they broke the media player, I've contacted Sony numerous times about it and never had a reply. It's beyond ridiculous now.
I've found the best way to get into a ranked online match is to go into a warm up session while waiting for the game to find an opponent for you. Normally I get into a match within a minute using this method.
Unless the Assassin's creed franchise undergoes a major overhaul I can't ever envisage wanting to play yet another dull, glitchy, bug ridden fetch quest simulator ever again.
@TomKongPhooey I get this issue all the time on my launch PS4, the quickest workaround is to go to settings, then Internet and then uncheck the box marked connect to network (I think it's called from memory) and then immediately check/tick it again and all should work fine again.
Judging by the tone of the last game it should be set wherever children like to hang out. Maybe down the park, or outside a chip shop or sitting on a wall outside a newsagents.
Yep launching apps like Netflix, Amazon etc has a long delay as well as the always abysmal what's new section. The store often fails to load properly too.
Are there many people taking the 'Switch' seriously? A low grade tablet with a TV dock and some cheap fiddly controllers that touts a 5 year old game (Skyrim) as proof of its capabilities.
I was really enjoying this game a lot and was intending on playing this game for months to come until they revealed the cost of the express pass as £14.99 per month. Not only is that way too high but it's also 25% more expensive in the UK than other countries like the US. So I don't play anymore.
This is clearly Bethesda's fault, they offered something that they clearly cannot deliver. Even if there are some problems at Sony's end, Bethesda should have done it's homework before making idle promises. Sony didn't promise mods, Bethesda did.
I wonder what number Watchdogs sequel we'll get to before the game even vaguely resembles that infamous E3 lying made up trailer Ubisoft showed us years ago.
Far harbor on ps4 is virtually unplayable with such poor performance issues. If I had paid £20 for this I would be wanting a refund, as it stands I guess I'll have to wait for a patch before trying again.
I'm not too bothered with the first couple of dlc's, but I am really looking forward to starting a new game with the new Survivor difficulty when that feature is eventually available.
I'm honestly disgusted with the decision to take this existing franchise and lock it away behind an exclusivity deal with MS. I won't ever be purchasing this game on principle alone.
The last assassin's creed I played was the dire American revolution one, which permanently put me off the franchise. I won't be playing another one until this tired formula is completely redesigned from the ground up.
From what I've seen of this I think i actually prefer the high stakes PS3 poker game. I will probably get this though at some point but £16 does seem a little pricey and that may keep the user base small and therefore queuing times long, so I guess I will wait for now.
I really enjoyed just cause 2, but I just can't see myself playing essentially the same game again but with a bit better graphics so I think i will pass on this one.
I've been a loyal Sony fan for years but i think enough is enough. They seriously need to improve their entire online structure as it has just taken me 24 hours of constant downloading to get the new 15Gb ESO patch (hardwired/50 Mbps)

It will take something pretty major to get me back into online now, and this isn't it.
Re: Why Is Sekiro Published By Activision? FromSoftware Speaks Up
I did see that 'in game purchases' are listed on the PSN product description for Sekiro. Could be just DLC, but I doubt it. I'm nervously optimistic.

Re: PS4 Firmware Update 4.55 Puts in Shock Appearance
@NathanUC Yeah I think it was media player version 3.00? I just hoped it might be bundled in with this update
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 4.55 Puts in Shock Appearance
Will it fix the media player sound synch problems that started with the recent update?
Re: Which City Will Watch Dogs 3 Be Set In?
