Yikes

Good thing I don't bother with messaging.

truefan14541d ago (Edited 4541d ago )

No way this is possible, the ps4 is perfect and PSN is great. The guy was probably sitting his ps4 on carpet or digging into his controller with his fingernails.

In all seriousness it's probably an isolated incident.

GarrusVakarian4541d ago (Edited 4541d ago )

Was there any need to troll?

"or digging into his controller with his fingernails. "

I have the issue of the left analogues outer coating wearing down myself and i can tell you right now that there is no way that the reports i saw on this website were legit. The pictures looked like the sticks were cut, not worn down, they didn't have a smooth worn down look. You don't CUT into rubber with the surface of your thumb, it's just not possible.

Im not saying it doesn't happen, because it does. But that dude either cut it deliberately or literally plays with thumbnails that have been cut into a V shape.

On topic: Im glad i don't group message.

MestreRothN4G4541d ago

^ To be fair, the rubber is not cut by the finger, but by the hard plastic below, from the stick itself summed with the thumbs' pressure.

I have not had this issue in any of my DS4s, but it doesn't look like it's gonna last a long time as my DS3s did.

MasterCornholio4541d ago

I can't believe this guy replied to me.

How disgusting.

UnholyLight4540d ago

Yeah, PSN may be good, but it surely is not flawless. I've had my fair share of problems and it is to be expected in my eyes. Xbox Live was always a more solid service and Microsoft probably has way more money to throw at it to keep it as solid as possible since they've had subscription base from the very beginning whereas Sony did not.

But for what PSN and the PS4 do for me, I've been very happy with my purchase decision and it's seen a lot more play time than my Xbox One..probably because so far I've chosen the PS4 as my multiplat console.

What's weird is that I didn't see anything in that article about messaging causing your console to be corrupted.

FamilyGuy4541d ago

lmmfao!, I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets disgusted when trolls reply to my post.

It's like a big ass fly buzzing around your head. "Just go away!"

JohnnyTower4541d ago

That's pretty crazy. Has this happened to anyone yet?

AceBlazer134541d ago (Edited 4541d ago )

Never happened to me.

@truefan you fail so hard it ain't even funny.

BattleTorn4541d ago (Edited 4541d ago )

I haven't had any issue nearly as severe, but I have experienced this:

I had a group chat on PS4, that went on and on between other group members.

When I sign into my PS3 every single group-message was in my PS3 inbox as if each one was individually written to my ID, by each group member. This has made my PS3 inbox a massive cluster fk.

It initially had me change my password, because it lead me to believe my PSN ID had been hacked and overtaken because it appeared as though someone was conversing with various IDs from my PS3. (namely because I wasn't familiar with half the IDs involved in the PS4 group-chat)

This took a minute of figuring out.

NukaCola4540d ago

Yeah the PS4 and Vita run group chat seamlessly but when you log onto the PS3 you get bombarded with every message as a single email..even if it was you who wrote it. Wish it translated into the PS3 group messenger better.

adventureghost1244541d ago

I wouldn't be too sure of this, like they said in the article Sony support said its a PSN side issue, If thats true then I highly doubt that it could do that much damage to your console

Bdub20004541d ago

Oh no, X1 just won the console war...

moujahed4541d ago

I never had this happen but there were two occasions when I would switch from message to games, and or message to music unlimited and the messages would crash... then it ask for a report. This only happened twice so far and I got mines in Dec 20th

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga59d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot58d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose59d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE59d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername58d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy59d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde59d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8659d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8659d ago (Edited 59d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300059d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle59d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7759d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
