Yo Russ, I wasn't planning on playing much of that Exo mode, and then I realized that there's a trophy for completing 50 games. Hopefully that doesn't take too long.

I was going to mention this. Looks like it's the "producers" that are assigned to different games at XDEV that are in charge of deciding what kind of trophy list each game gets.

So I guess this means Therm was the producer on Ground Zeroes. I knew he was colluding with Stotch somehow, and him having the platinum confirms it.

Not to mention completing Exo mode bonus wave, and 30 minutes with each class... plenty of co-op trophies that are doable.

 
Ok I really don't know what I'm doing wrong with call of duty. I downloaded the 7.82gb update, and I can start the game, but it's not downloading anything else. Under multiplayer and Exo survival, it says that it's installing content, with two hours remaining. Shouldn't the amount of GB at least be changing?

Highlight the AW icon on the XMB and press options->information. It should tell you overall progress. I couldn't figure it out either, but it's downloading.

I played about 15 minutes of the campaign and turned it off so that it would keep downloading (i'm a phantom waiting to be deactivated). It looks pretty, but so far nothing has really impressed me with it. Hoping the MP is fun enough to play, justifying the $10 i spent on it.

I did a last minute preorder of CoD on ps4 last night, so I'll pick that up in a little bit.  I also had a doctor's appointment right after lunch that I scheduled months ago so I'm taking the afternoon off.

 
[quote name="ProfessorStotch" post="12207362" timestamp="1415034540"]No that's what I'm saying, is I did that and it's only showing the 7.82gb from the initial file.[/quote]

You are game sharing it, right? So you only get a portion of the game. In your case it's 7.82gb worth. Enjoy!

Oh, idk then man. Mine is like 41.xx GB's. But I can tell you exactly what I did. I chose SP as to what I would be playing first. Then, upon booting, jumped to the MP menu. It started another download/install, and then another after that. (edit: this sounds like the Mp and exo survival you were saying. hopefully it works itself out after thats done) Everything played fine from that point, but it still had a ton of downloading left, which I could only find by checking the icon/overall status on XMB.

This was a huge pain though, overall. I couldnt start it at all last night. This morning, I had to log on to the web store and search for the ps4 version and remote download the game. It wouldnt show up at all on the ps4. And as you are pointing out, even though mine finally worked out, everyones having problems with the download/install it seems.

Cool. Only class I have today is cancelled. Gonna go pick up my copy in about 30 minutes. Gotta maximize dat double XP gain today.

 
If I went through Ghosts, Battlefield 4 and Destiny in the last year, I can't really justify the time+money for AW, right? 

 
so does the x1 game suspend actually work? I saw shipwreck's tweet about playing a game, pausing and jumping out to play a dvd, then going back to the game and unpausing right where he left off. that's pretty rad, I hope sony gets that worked out. insanely nice feature on the vita (although I'd probably not get as much use on the ps4 since the plug I have it on currently is connected to a light switch my kids like to play with).

We have one, Derek. Unless we're sending a 30 through the portal each time, I think it's going to be crazy hard. I mean matt could put up a post on the matchmaking site to try and get a couple more 30s.

If yall are a group of 3 I have 3 more. We're at the Atheon checkpoint but the Randoms I've been getting have been bad and some don't even bother using a mic on top of that.

Yeah it works great on X1 from what I've heard.

Streaming on Twitch on X1 apparently sucks balls though. Constantly gives streamers errors and about half the consoles that try can't even get it to work at all.

I don't know if you ever noticed, but Shipwreck will get every issue that PlayStation has but will never get any problems that Xbox has.

I know we're all a buncha fucking nerds on one level or another in here, but power rangers is absolutely fucking horrible and I don't understand how anyone could defend it.

Even as a kid I knew it was some of the dumbest shit I had ever seen and if my kid thought it was cool it would deeply depress me.

oh, it's incredibly dumb and cheesy but it's nerdy, with details to memorize and categorize. even if all we're doing is just watching the first episode of each season over and over and over. And any Holiday themed episode. Ugh.

 
[quote name="laundrymatt" post="12207444" timestamp="1415036512"]Day one for $10? lol

Edit: Day ZERO[/quote]

I'll bite. How did you get it for $10? Game shares don't let you get it that low do they?
 
Velo, we were apparently wrong about that one Youtuber who we thought was faking playing on Akumu. According to this thread on GFAQs, you really do survive the initial throw onto the ground and the enemy is supposed to headstomp you, but it's possible for your A.I. partner to interrupt the headstomp so you don't die.

PS Plus details are coming soon – stay tuned.

No update to share yet on Driveclub PS Plus Edition timing, unfortunately. We’ll keep you up to date as soon as we have new info.

As for PS4 2.00, we’re looking into the issues that some folks are having and will share any new updates with you ASAP.

 
Third day of the month and they still don't have their act together. Aren't they supposed to have this ready -before- November?
I'd even take a SpiderMan game at this point. Sony own his rights, so why not?

We know what games we're getting. Thye just havne't put up the official post for whatever reason.

 
And now you guys are hating on Power Rangers? Everything after SPD (with the possible exception of RPM, which I haven't watched but heard is surprisingly good) sucks, but I really enjoyed the prior seasons. :shame:

Yes because of that cross-buy PS3 to PS4 upgrade they're making available. But normally no, not for new-gen anyway.
Click to expand...
Thats about the only reason I bought it. Too cheap to say no. But if this was the new Black Ops (ie, made by Treyarch and had zombies mode) for PS4, I would have bought the $100 one.

Dell's Black Friday ad leaked: https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/337749-dell-black-friday-ad-ac-unity-xbox-one-bundle-32999-ps4-with-gta-v-last-of-us-remastered-39999/

Nothing for me, but PS4 + GTA V + The Last of Us Remastered for $399.99? That's pretty sweet.

That seems like an OK deal I guess. I'd be more excited to think this now opens the door to believe other retailers will offer similar/competing bundle packages. Really hoping to see that white Destiny bundle have a discount and/or something added (gift card or another game)

They're all available on Netflix or Amazon Prime. We haven't watched those two yet. For some reason we're only watching episodes that have force in it. Jungle Force. Wild Force. Time Force. MegaForce.

Edit:

Forgot NinjaForce.

I think we've watched Season 1, Episode 1 "day of the dumpster' about 10 times now too.

It'd be more appealing to me if I didn't have to pay tax, or they included a 1-year PS Plus membership. Maybe I'm a little too hard to please.

Dell isn't known for amazing black Friday ads, which makes me believe if they are offering that, Walmart, Target, Amazon, and Bestbuy will definitely have some good deals.

I'd rather have the coming new 3DS (not XL). Because the screen is bigger but not THAT much bigger (so less pixelated). And I'd use a grip, just like I use a grip for my Vita.

I kind of want the new 3DS regular size too. I had the original one but couldn't get used to the weird physical overlapped design. I now have a 3DS XL but it's a bit too bulky and cumbersome. The new regular size 3DS with slightly bigger screens and the more XL\DS Lite design seems like it would be better for me.

Nah, you want what you want. IMO, Last of Us will see a sale...and even if not, its only $39.99 MSRP at Best Buy right? Pretty sure the price on GTA will decrease rather quickly. I want to say I paid like $30 for it not even a month after release (on Black Friday last year, actually).
