The PS4 thread

[Baddar]

I honestly don't know.

Although the local GAME are running competitions and games from 10pm, along with a guy brought in to do skills and the like.

[9 to 5]

Apparently I can go and collect my PS4 and games tonight at midnight. Is that really a thing people do?

Say hi to Benji. >_>

[TKz]

I never really understand why people collect games at midnight. Why don't you just wait until the morning?

Because you're exited for the game and it's not like there's anything better to do at midnight?

Me and a group of friends picked up an old Pro Evo at midnight once at uni and had an all nighter doing a 6/7 team round robin league straight out the box.

It was awesome.

Sleep, maybe?

If you're an old person, sure.

It's 2014, we're seriously going to have a discussion about people going to midnight releases? People get excited to buy something and go to get it as soon as they can. Not only is it not weird, it's pretty much commonplace at this point.

I'd usually have been asleep for two hours or so by midnight >_>

I heard some nerds went to a Marvel movie at midnight and, get this, they even turned up in costumes. :lol:

Idiots. They could've been ankle deep in REM sleep.

[King Ellis]

Agreed. Studies have shown that those getting 8 or more hours of sleep at night wake up as shiny happy people.

[ZJ Penn]

Terrible.

Sorry, I'm not young and hip enough to be awake at midnight. Perhaps it's because I have a job.

[TKz]

I have a Monday to Friday, 9-5 job. So does Ruki. So do nearly all of the people that go to midnight releases, because people with jobs are the ones with enough money to buy games on launch and actually get to the shop and back at midnight.

It's really not remotely uncommon, nor is there actually anything odd about it. It's almost a social event at this point, people do it with their friends. Kind of like how people go out with their friends and stay awake past midnight all the time in any other circumstance. >_>

[Walker]

Shadow of Mordor actually looks like it will be good. I doubt I'll pre-order it but will keep an eye out on whether it gets decent reviews or not.

Wow, you're kind of an asshole, aren't you?

Like TKz said, I have a job. I've worked 8:30-5, Monday to Friday for the past 6 years (and before that, I was in college full time).

It's after 1pm, you should probably go lay down for your nap, you grumpy old shit

[King Ellis]

Wow, Brenchill got told off by Ruki. Guess he'll have to retire from EWB for 3 days again.

[Your Mom]

I don't think Midnight launches are great because by the time I got home it would be like 1 or 1:30 and then I'm too tired to play that night anyway

[apsham]

Most GOOD midnight launches have some cool swag and events. I would never camp out for one, but if I had some friends I would likely roll into one at midnight, grab some of the free stuff and then head home and maybe play a bit. I haven't in a while but the option is there.

It'd be better if I was across the pond where most games release on Fridays - that way I'd just be able to get up and play instead.

[Kaney]

I went to collect Gears of War 3 at midnight and it was exactly that, just collecting it. No events, no free stuff, blah. If I had any thoughts I'd be able to stay up late and play FIFA I'd go do the same tonight but I've been up since 5am already, and won't actually be able to get online
