Yep! No early adopters mean the death of console gaming. Period. There is literally no discussion necessary.
To those that don't believe this: you don't have a "perspective," you are wrong.
Without sales no games will be made, without games, no consoles will be sold.
Don't call yourself a gamer and then be too cheap to invest in industry. People have gone overboard with this bs about being "practical," it'...
I dunno...games often require fixing. The beauty of modern consoles is that they can be fixed at all. Cartridge based games used to ship with bugs that were with you forever.
Why does everyone expect everything to be perfect? You know how complex all this stuff is?
I agree, this will be patched extremely soon. Probably before you get a chance to return it. There are just too many sales to lose right now, they literally can't afford this.
Even if this internet comment, with no evidence whatsoever, somehow turns out to be true...how many machines do you think this one guy could have got away with damaging? Safe to assume they produced well over a million machines. How many could he have possibly even touched? Of the ones he touched, how many could he have felt confident enough that no one
was watching him that he would brazenly damage them? Odds are even if this guy worked his ass off trying to ruin machines, he likely ...
I worked in computers. Hardware bricking is a FACT of the consumer electronics industry. 0.4% is incredibly low. You expect perfection? The processes required, if it was at all possible, would DRAMATICALLLY effect console pricing. Do you realize how much more consoles would cost of they had to extensively stess test millions of units?
The vast majority of gamers would rather buy a console for $399 and have a 1 in 300 chance of needing to have it replaced for free rather than...
You figure Killzone has horrible aliasing? Wow must play on a very large TV...or be used to playing 4k on a 22" monitor. To me, it looks sweet. Though as the gen goes on, games will improve.
Amazon probably moved like 100,000 of the million or so sold. That means normal brick rates would dictate the moved at least 3000 bricks. A few hundred disappointed vocal customers on launch is well within normal, even if all 1 stars are legit...guessing many aren't, but it's irrelevant.
Wow, the gaming "media" really loves milking ordinar-fail-rate-bricking.
What?
Another myth. Verified buyers remarks mean nothing. Unsatisfied customers always go back to complain, the tens of thousands of satisfied Amazon buyers are way too busy playing to even think to rate it.
But you realize consoles *will* brick. No company has the black magic to end that. That would be physically impossible. Showing a few hundred angry people means nothing...there are tens of thousands of angry people..
...and there will be, EVERY single console launch. It's not evidence of anything.
Extraordinary failure rates are impossible to hide, such as the awful thing that happened to early 360 buyers (why I waited for slim). Early evidence indicates ...
You're actually saying the opposite of the truth...like literally. Notice the share button on the DS4? Notice how Sony announced all the features first? Like...are you quite alright? I'm honestly concerned by your refusal to accept the obvious and the amount of anger you have over something unconnected to you.
To address your concerns about bricking. No...there is no issue. Even assuming all reports online are true(many are, many aren'r), you are ignoring the fact...
No modern console, or any tv stand appliance for that matter should be placed somewhere with bad ventilation. Just common sense. Of course they get hot!
So far the game is a solid 7 for me. That said, what I mean is while it loses a point or two for story, and for lack of major thrills the 7 points left are solid gameplay. Very different than a game with a 2 point story and 5 point gameplay.
It earns only 7 points, but in the most important category, therefore, it's a must-buy. Give it a chance.
"Uncharted games are terrible"...said the annoying hipster who's terrible at games.
I'll tell you something I've discovered. People often only like easy games. I used to think Uncharted games were easy and still do (on normal) but have discovered that some "gamers" find the shooting sequences too hard, even on easy. Yeah, bizarre, but it's come out as a main reason for Uncharted hate, when I grill people about it. "Got stuck on stupid ...
Maybe he means actual panic...like a horror themed game possibly?
Because of the need to eat. Abandon last gen wholesale and you have money. Lack of human, cash and time resources always challenge launch titles. Couple this with the learning curves and there you go.
BUT...
You know what sucks worse than launch games? Launch reviews. Reviewers are losing their minds trying to be too cool for school. In my experience many ps4 launch titles are awesome.
Launch firmware issues? Expected.
For the record, mine works fine.
Had connection probs this morning for the first few hours, passed quickly. Works great now.
Yep, I totally get it. Logic tells me: "meh." Yet, part of me doesn't like this for some reason.
I guess it's just a matter of what we're used to.
