I'm not a techhie, that's why i like consoles, I plug in and play, so if this saves me wasting time trying to find which external hard drives are compatible for my PS, then it's a good thing. The size of games on the PS4 ate up the supplied memory very quickly. From Sony's point of view it makes sense, because it can be another revenue earner, which will be good for the chances of seeing a PS6 in 10 years time. Not so good news for the likes of Seagate. Not everyone has the luxury of stable broadband for streaming to reduce memory needs.
None of these grab me. This time last year we had RDR2 and Ass Creed Odyssey, both of which kept me busy till June. I'll have to keep grinding away with Elite Dangerous until something tempting comes along, like GTA6 on the PS5.
I had the N64, and watched with jealousy as the Playstation owners got more adult orientated games, whilst all I could say was that the N64 graphics were better. I got the PS2, with the DVD, then the PS3, with the blue ray, 3d, wireless internet connection, built in Netflix and You Tube, I got the PS4, its had all the PS3 innovations, just a bit faster, I suspect the PS5 will be the same, and I'll still buy it...because they will deliver a new GTA game, a new GT game, Assassins Creed games, plus some surprises. The PS3 was the best in terms of a technology leap to a true, complete home entertainment system, mine is still plugged in, next to the PS4, and used for dvds, and old games. I wouldn't even consider moving to Xbox.
I find with PS4 racers, generally, that the controls using the left stick instead of buttons to steer, and the shoulder buttons to brake and accelerate are just too awkward to control over the d pad and x o buttons option for PS3 racing games. Sticks make sense for bike games to simulate body movement, but add nothing to car games, apart from more sore thumbs.
At 67% in single player after 2 1/2 mths, still enjoying it, the pace is relaxing, and there's still much to do. I can't imagine wanting to do any posse or group activities online, hopefully by the time I finish single player, Rockstar will have made the online world more interesting, with less pointing us towards player co-op, so I can continue to explore and interact with AI characters. Gaming is supposed to be an escape from idiots in the real world.
External hard drive purchased, and is waiting for the game to arrive. I am assuming it won't be the last game I buy, and I might want to revisit my old games.
I just started playing this yesterday, loved the first 3 games, but the first two or three hours of Uncharted 4 have been painful, too many breaks for long storyline movies stopping the action, and one or two of those being very mundane. I hope the game does get better as all the hype suggests. It's no GTA V so far.

Finishing Assassin's Creed Unity, which has been a fun game. I needed a break from the 4 month grind that was The Witcher.

Re: Guide: Long PS4 Games
Elite Dangerous is massive, and endless, plus it's 1984 nostalgia brought right up to date...even with the frustrating, buggy updates, it's great.
