Hey group, I finally need to consider adding the ability to chat. I've always been a single player gamer, but I am addicted to UC4 multiplayer and want to add chat and friends. But, I don't want to spend a lot of $$$. Also, the more I google about PS4 and chat and headsets, etc. the more...

lol. been there. yeah, why there isn't a checkpoint there I do not understand. I died many many times on my crushing playthrough there. (I didn't use any exploits.) It was a PITA. Especially when other shorter areas do have checkpoints. Ooo...this killed me a lot too. As soon as I got control I...

I think it must mean something that UC4 is my first ever Platinum. I never bothered with other games. It just wasn't a thing for me. Also, UC4 is the first time I have ever played multiplayer. I'm getting my a$$ kicked, but still. The closest I usually get on trophy percentages is 60-70%. So...

Just finished a crushing playthrough. Wasn't all *that* bad. Lack of checkpoints only occasionally really frustrating. Still enjoyed it, but stick by my original placement of liking 2 better than 4. So I still rank them 2, 4, 1, 3.

Just finished the single player. It was really good. Gorgeous. I think 2 still wins for me as best game in the series though. I'd probably rank them 2, 4, 1, 3. I'm not great at gun battles and there were one or two that were a little frustrating. Now just have to decide whether to play it more...

Well, I left it til near the end, but I also went ahead and bought TLOU Remastered for $20. I prefer physical (which I do have TLOU on PS3 physical) but I'm tired of waiting. 

Yep. AC Syndicate GOLD rang up for $39.99 in store. the DCPI on my receipt is 207340130. On receipt it is just "PS4 Game".

I know there has been better deals, but for various reasons I missed out before. So I stopped by Target today for this and lucky for me, my store still had GOLD editions for the $39.99 price. The display copy was a "Limited" but behind that, locked in the case were Gold copies. So it may not be...

(CNN)Alan Rickman, the British actor who played the brooding Professor Severus Snape in the "Harry Potter" films years after his film debut as the "Die Hard" villain Hans Gruber, has died after a short battle with cancer, a source familiar with his career said Thursday.   He was 69.   A...

Update: I ended up ordering the HGST 7k1000 1tb drive. I really considered the Seagate backup option, but ultimately due to bad experiences in the past I just could not pull the trigger on a Seagate drive. I'm sure at some point in the future I may wish I had gone with a 2tb drive, but this will...

For what it is worth, I just ordered the HGST Travelstar 7k1000 1tb. $54.99. I just could not make myself go for Seagate. Maybe their failure rates are better now than they used to be. I don't know. Maybe the Seagate/Samsung M9T 2tb would be OK. I don't know. But I just couldn't pull the trigger...

oops...missed that too. (PS3 not PS4)

I love how cheap these drives are these days...and I'm in the market for a couple. A 64gb for backing up my itunes music and a 32gb or 2 for various other backups.  Is any brand...Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston, Samsung, etc. better than others these days?

I will definitely be replaying UC. I watched a couple vids on YT and they look soooo good. I just wish Rise of the Tomb Raider wasn't temporarily exclusive to X1.

Hey everyone. Thanks to the recent Target deal, I have a PS4...or will on Christmas Day! I've been looking at install sizes for some games and the 500gb drive doesn't seem like it will be good for very long! So...what to do? I've seen reference to hybrid/SSHD drives, but they seem to only be...
