The PS4 thread

TKz?

Not as far as I am aware.

Add me to that list!

Though for the record, my point was more that it wasn't OMGBESTGAMEOFALLTIME. It was a pretty cool story with some decent gameplay behind it. But like Bioshock Infinite, the mechanics and the levels didn't really hold out enough for me to think much of it past "Yeah, that was pretty cool."

Just out of interest Ticklez, what are your favourite games of all time? I'm not jumping on you at all, I've just come to notice a lot of the games I figured you'd like you tend to find overrated.

I never got the "not much hard drive space" argument. I mean, how many games are you possibly playing simultaneously? I only keep the save files after I finish a game, in case I want to play it again later. The install files aren't necessary.

I've actually got a last of us for ps4 dl code I could sell ya cheap. Of you're willing to wait, it's not currently in my hands until xmas.

Right now i got sleeping dogs and Madden 15. Downloading GTAV on Tuesday will be another 55GB, and probably getting dragon age inquisition. I'm at 350GB as it is. GTAV will take it to 295GB, plus whatever DA:I will take up. 500GB when the system software take up 100GB isn't a whole lot

Was more of an offer for lint, because of what he said. But if he doesn't take I'll look into it for you meacon.

Are you really going to be playing Sleeping Dogs, Grand Theft Auto V, Dragon Age AND Madden all at the same time?

Me personally? No. Me, my niece and nephew? Yes

Well, external hard drive support is coming.

That's one of the reasons I buy physical copies. It's mostly paranoia, but a 20 gig install with disc is way nicer than loading a full game on my hard drive.

[Lint]

I plan on staying mostly disc based too...pretty much plan on just downloading GTAV at the moment

[Baddar]

I buy physical because the prices for digital are ridiculous, on the EU store anyway.

If I want Madden digitally, it'll cost me £60. I can get it for almost half that (£35) in my local GAME store.

Walking Dead season 2 is under £20 which is reasonable, as it's cheaper than the physical copy, but then it was a digital game to begin with.

[Cymbols]

Bought a PS4 today Comes with Last of Us and GTA 5 preorder. It's just a shame I don't have a computer screen or TV for another 6 weeks :/

[9 to 5]

That wasn't very wise then.

Has there ever been an explanation given as to why it's so ridiculously more expensive to download than to physically get a copy?

[lanky316]

I guess it's essentially down to "this is the RRP we'll put it up for that" but as a general rule of thumb they don't seem to reduce prices for a while. So while Tesco and Sainsburys have a supermarket price war and it gets cheaper for us to buy over the counter they leave it at the set price.

[Chris2K]

It sounds a bit brainless. At this stage I'd say the majority of people are still more comfortable with having a physical copy of a game rather than a digital download and that's not likely to change if the prices remain higher in the PS Store than every website, supermarket and shop.

The list is mostly 90's JRPG's and Metal Gear Solid. Not that I think they're objectively the best, just the ones that I've never grown tired of.

Of modern games (to add a bit more variety), I'd rank Tomb Raider 2013, Mass Effect 2 and 3, Little Big Planet, Deus Ex, Dragon Age: Origins, Bayonetta, Minecraft, Ni no Kuni and Civilization 5 as top contenders.

Again, though, in no world do I think those are the best games, just the ones I liked the most.

Got mah On A Rail trophy on Minecraft today while not expecting to. If anybody wants to join me in a trophy run, feel free to zip me a line. That'll be all day Friday for me.

GTA can't get to me quick enough. Just looking at my PS4 in sheer boredom now. I can't even bring myself to try and get platinum on Shadows of Mordor.
