nah, the xp glitch was introduced in 1.04 and they're fixing it for 1.05.
Starting at 849 in Finland. A lot of people have already said they are going to order from Germany because of the cheaper pricing. Regardless, shouldn't dream about USD prices in Europe.
nvidia card pricing and lego brick pricing in international markets go hand in hand.
Originally, PS4 didn't really matter to me. Then it got Bloodborne and everything changed. That Uncharted 4 gameplay looked pretty nice as well, especially since I currently have no information on getting Rise of the Tomb Raider on a platform I own.
So now you're on the opposite of me, we agree about PS4 no more.
you break my heart frost

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I'm loving my PS4 - it's probably my favorite console since the SNES.

Seems quite the claim considering the time it's been out and the current library.
My memory gives me a hazy "set graphics to low for that scene", but ymmv.
It's been... many years, after all.
I need to plug mine back in and download the Bloodborne patch. Also, I need to play Bloodborne more.

Can't tell if this is a parody post.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Yeah, I'd be interested in hearing the reasons, too.
I took a look at the Top 25 highest rated PS4 games and, removing any games available on the PC, there is nothing compelling outside of Bloodborne.

This, my PS4 library consists of exactly one game, Bloodborne, (traded everything else cos they weren't worth keeping) and I've had my PS4 since launch.
Who would have thought that Lego Minecraft being announced and released would completely overshadow the XCOM 2 announcement.
I'm sold.

PS4 is my favorite console since the PS3. If the Driveclub season pass goes on sale I might even turn it on again before Uncharted 4 comes out.
Driveclub, Resogun and Peggle 2, son. DC deservedly got low scores because it was barebones and partially broken but they patched it up a lot. The weekly 'DC is best racer ever' threads in Gaming are overselling it of course to the point where it gets embarassing but if someone likes arcadey racer that's a must-play.
Could also happen for Until Dawn and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture but the latest videos for both didn't blow my socks off.

That was an okay trailer. Looking forward to
the inevitable expansion pack that comes out next year
Also there are some very "nice" posts in the reveal thread.
The LEGO minecraft announcement is being overshadowed by Megan Fox (no, not that one)'s LEGO Universe dongs story =p
Well I found a forum post with a guy having the exact same problem. Unfortunately it was several years old an no one answered him.
That's a funny way to spell WiiU
I look at the latest consoles and... well I see this.
So port, port, new title, multiplat, port, port, port, port, port, port, multiplat, port, port, port, port, port, multiplat, multiplat, port, port, new title, new title, multiplat, multiplat, port.
That's 3 original titles, 6 multiplats available on PC and a staggering 16 ports/remasters/whateverthefuckthekidsarecallingthems out of the top 25 titles on Metacritic. Now I'm not a fan of that site or it's methodology but that's pretty hard to ignore that for someone like me who would want new experiences, the PS4 sadly isn't it right now. The XO looks a little rosier but nothing to get excited about.
Basically, buy it now. Whe. It goes on sale after releasing, it will drop to the EA price

For some reason this reminds me of the advertising for a movie called Secondhand Lions. The commercials said it was the best family film since Finding Nemo.
Finding Nemo's release date: May 30th, 2003.
Secondhand Lions: September 19th, 2003.
Sorry, I have mentally blocked the racing game you are talking about after the number of threads we have dedicated towards it.
Not being able to say the words has really affected my day to day life, but it is for the best.
UK film critic Paul Ross (the lesser known older brother of Jonathan Ross) had loads of poster quotes 'Best Film this year' which he'd pretty much apply to the next film he'd seen. Oddly his fine critique hasn't been seen as of the New of the World getting shut down (well that and after a bizarre incident on TV where he had an on air prostate examination).

To be fair, Secondhand Lions was a good family film
and better than Finding Nemo - yep, I said it!
Edit: Just noticed the dates, which makes the "best since" comment come across as idiotic.

The trees in the little bit I watched looked like trees from Planets3.
fahrenheit is giving a bunch of errors but playable if I could somehow alt tab to close down that error box, gedosato downsampling works too, but still a pain in the ass (the game still gives me those errors even if I disable gedosato, dsr, steam overlay, RTSS, removing its ini and whatever-the-fuck-they're-blaming-it-on).
Yea that looks really bad. Bloodborne seems to be the only reason to buy a ps4. Sony needs to step up and release more exclusives. Still can't believe there is no new gran turismo or god of war.

I'd like to get TLoU remaster if someone raffles off a PS4 here.

I don't consider games with terrible DRM like Uplay or Origin to even have PC releases. So the PS4's library of games I wouldn't normally play on my PC also includes most of Ubisoft and EA's offerings - Assasin's Creed, Trials Fusion, Dragon Age, etc. Additionally things like Bloodbourne, Final Fantasy Type-0 (which is now apparently coming to PC so eh), Final Fantasy X / X-2 (which I just beat X again yesterday on the PS4), Knack (which I actually enjoyed), and The Last of Us. There are some good games in the pipe that I'm really looking forward to such as Dragon Quest Heroes, Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts 3, Uncharted, and Until Dawn.
Of course it's all a matter of preference. My only real gripe is that it can't play PS1 classics nor PS3 games but that's why I bought a PS3. I like the interface more on the PS4 than the PS3 and it's much more responsive. I made the comment about it being the best since the SNES because for my tastes there isn't any console since the SNES with a higher number of games I'm actually interested in besides what's on offer for the PC.

Yeah, exactly. I understand how reductive advertising needs to be and how you can get lunatics to call anything the best thing of all time.
It was the fact that they said "since Finding Nemo" that struck me as funny. I'd even accept the opinion that it is better than Finding Nemo, but they weren't even saying that.
It's amazing how low they set the bar for themselves, really.

Finished Mind Path to Thalamus, such a nice little game, beautiful graphics and good puzzles, only low was the plot which was kinda bad.

Be prepared for some ModBot issues today; site maintenance tends to do wonky things and my availability will be limited during the day to diagnose when the site comes back up. This affects the modding side of ModBot too, so I guess you're safe from SkyNet for now.

I ain't got time for the marketing double speak bollocks! I calls thems likes theys is, they're ports end of!!!
Not that the XO or WiiU look much stronger going by the top 25 rated games but the XO and PS4 are much more old experience laden that right now they don't look half as enticing to me as a failed/dead/stupid huge screen controller console which has quite a few new, unique and different experiences and more than anything else console wise.
That's a thing?it's TOTALLY worth it, though ... for the ostrich riding animation ALONE!!
nice.
I bet it won't even get a sale discount.
This is my exact thoughts on Driveclub. It's a decent game for what it is, but it's still pretty barebones and lacking in terms of customization. I think AI needed work and MP races were horrible bumper car fests, but I still enjoyed the heck out of what I played for the single player content. Just wish I could have had more options to tweak around with cars. Also wish they expanded the car list to more countries than just Europe. Season Pass has been great though. I played through the first 2 DLCs, but I'm kinda just letting it sit now so I can come back in a bit and play through a ton of the new content that I've been sitting on.
Hey look on the bright side, if they keep porting stuff this gen, at least next gen they will have to come up with something original as there won't be much to port! Unless they port the ports >_>

Dang, and I thought I hated Origin. I understand uPlay, because you never know what shit you're going to get, but at least with Origin, it seems like they have similar standards to Steam as far as DRM goes.
Though it doesn't really matter to me, as EA hasn't existed to me for a while now.
I'd still argue that your personal preferences would have you prefer the PS2. More, better, Final Fantasys alone should be enough.
