All of those problems, like you said, are extremely nit-picky.

SpinalRemains1384400d ago

The controller light is a real issue. It reduces battery life tenfold.

That's not exactly nitpicky.
There should be an option to turn it off. A battery saver option under "adjust devices".

ShowGun9014400d ago

im pretty sure they said in the next update that option will be included (cant really remember tho)

regardless, it should have been an option from the start.

diehardmetallicafan4400d ago

i thought after people first started complaining about the light draining the battery, it was looked into and it actually used bugger-all of it? personally the light doesn't affect me at all, even in the dark. and the battery size is smaller, but i don't have day-long sessions at least without a break. it charges fairly quick too.

TitanUp4400d ago

agree with just about everything except the fan noise, i have no problems with ps4 fan noise even when system is turning on.

Pogmathoin4400d ago

Just waiting for the next wave of games, thats the only issue for me. Nothing is perfect in life, nothing has ruined playing on PS4, used to the battery life, prepared for it......

randomass1714400d ago

I remember reading that there is an upcoming update to turn off the controller light. Besides, can't you leave it plugged into the console?

Conzul4400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

The controller battery is great. I can play inFamous for many hours (game is heavy on vibration) without a recharge. The only thing I had was with the rubber wearing off gradually on mine.

The problem isn't the battery or the light in the DS4. The problem is that you only bought one of them.

Baccra174400d ago

Isn't the light an LED? It can't possibly be using that much energy. Sound takes energy too, it's probably the built in speaker and head phone jack that's using up the juice and not the LED.

levian4400d ago

Not being able to pause and resume your downloads. If I have 10 things downloading, I can't choose what I want to download first, without a lot of work around.

The light on the controller is pretty annoying sometime. Playing at night, in the dark (which is the best time and way to play a lot of games, IMO) there's an bright blue light shining on my screen and wall.

I'd agree about wanting the ability to organize your games. That'd be niiice

A number of them could be patched.

system224400d ago

i agree but there are some things that bug me that seem like a bigger deal. the controller battery and LED are really kind of annoying to me. My ps4 also gets kinda noisy after playing a while. The non-customizable thing isn't a huge deal but like on the x1 you can pin games, apps, even shows to your home screen and its super handy.

I also kind of wish it multitasked more like the x1. the x1 is super fast at app switching, runs a realtime preview of the current app in a window on the dashboard AND you can snap apps to the side of the screen. its cool when you have a party and want to change things without having to dump out of your game screen and you can do it all with your voice. if the ps4 dash can "borrow" some of these concepts then man... that said - the ps4 is way better at organizing game related info and shares etc. notifications are probably better on the ps4

Blackleg-sanji4400d ago

omg every since yesterday all ive been seeing is nitpick articles on ps4, ps4 is not actually winning, whats next for ps4,
damn can sony and the fans enjoy some success lol

hkgamer4400d ago

Well, its not a perfect machine, but its still early days. Lots of small tiny adjustments need to be made. What seems to be the most important is to let users have the freedom of options.

dodgefate4400d ago

I don't like fast food cause...

1) Burgers never look as good as on t.v
2) Fries are cold 40% of the time
3) Nothing on dollar menu is a dollar anymore ($1.16)

Well, I am hungry going to hit up Burger King /wave

zeuanimals4400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

Fries can actually be cold about 99.9% of the time, depends on the time you let it sit. There could be a thousand year old fry, and then it'll wake up and meet a robot named Bender, fall in love with a one eyed mutant beauty Lela, and plenty of others, and they're going to have some great adventures together.

I miss Futurama.

Geekman4400d ago

Whoa, whoa... number 3 is legit.

hkgamer4400d ago

My nit-pick list:

Not able to rearrange the list of games to your prefereable order.

Controller batt drains way too quick.

Slows down alot, sometimes when I am on home screen my PS4 is struggling a lot. It's unbearable and most of the times I will have to restart.

browser sucks. Not that I really use it.

Mouse support? I can't seem to get my wireless mouse to sync up with my PS4.

incendy354400d ago

These are pretty much my main complaints as well. Also frustrated with the lack of a unified searching system. So hard to find things on the PS4 whether they are on your system or in the store.

zeuanimals4400d ago

Your first two are actually pretty big problems, the second one is much bigger though.

KyRo4400d ago

Slows down a lot? I have yet to have this issue what so ever?

hkgamer4399d ago

it happens when I have a game running on background. maybe livestreaming. I can't remember. But it happens a lot. closing all apps wont solve this so I have to restart.

Maybe it's only my system

RiPPn4400d ago

I've never had the menus slow down, then again I replaced the hard drive with a hybrid sshd, so maybe it's hard drive related?

hkgamer4399d ago

it may be just my system.

I'm holding back on buying a SSHD atm. 500GB enough for the time being. once it starts getting low I probably go for a 1-1.5GB SSHD. Any recommendations?

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

Cacabunga7d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot6d 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…

HectixRose7d 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.

JEECE7d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername6d 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.

Soy7d ago

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

DarXyde7d 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.

Ashunderfire866d 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.

Ashunderfire866d ago (Edited 6d 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.

pwnmaster30007d 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.

solideagle7d 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

Relientk777d ago

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