    I wouldn't have bought something like Knack without the cushion of knowing I could get some money for it later.

    Forced digital-only would make me buy less new games.

    PS+ makes it a little easier with their timed trials on the full versions of games, but those are few and far between, and with fewer and fewer demos for games, yeah... Forced digital, no demos, and no rentals would mean significantly less buys from me too.

    Any thoughts on the likelihood of being able to group/sort PS4 friends at some point? I've added a bunch of people from three different online communities, and there's only so many user names I can remember. It'd be good to look at PA folk under one list, for instance.

    Those doors are my least favorite part of the game.

    Difficulty ramps up slightly, then steeply, but you get more mods and weapons and frames to mess around with. The first 5-10 hours can get tedious before you open up a lot more

    I've yet to even open Killzone and have played only one level of Lego Marvel.

    I've been spending all my time Pirating. I wish the community challenge stuff worked.

    I have too. And I do appreciate your constant speeding up of my vessels and helping me get rich. With your assistance I am now the 248 most prosperous pirate on the high seas!
    Also I'm at 96% or so done with the game and I am very, very sad about that.

    AC4 might be my GOTY. I recognize that the plot is very disjointed and really not all that great...but I don't even care, I'm so absorbed in the world I've had a hard time pulling away.

    Plugged in my Astro A40's and Mixamp and it worked great. Gonna try streaming some NFS Rivals later to see if the mic works for that.

    It does feel like you and I are the only ones sending out ships.

    I am currently just sailing around collecting all the uncharted animus pieces and chests. Then I'm going to finish the other contracts before continuing the story.

    What happened to the community stuff in AC4 anyway? I was getting all sorts of white whales, convoys, and chests from other people, but then it just stopped.

    @Shadowfire - I'm not sure if we're friends on PSN or not, but if we are, I've not really been exploring the sea much lately since I've finished up most stuff there, so I haven't really been spotting anything that would share in the last few days.

    I've finally gotten to AC4. Sooooo good.

    I am just now digging into the social part of the game. I have marked a royal fleet, and I have found a few community chests, but how do you assist others speed? I have yet to see that.

    Oh and I am way glad I ran through killzone and my other games first. I can't see spinning up much else on my PS4.

    That stuff works fine for me. There are these community challenges that unlock some other outfit and some stuff for like, everyone killing a thousand dudes or something. That's connected to the ACIntiates site which doesn't work with PS4 yet?

    @TheRoadVirus are we PSN friends? I've never seen your ships. We must rectify that.

    Ya know, up til this point I've really enjoyed Killzone Shadowfall but I just got to a section called "The Last Stand" and jesus christ...
    I must have tried a dozen times now. I last until I can get into the bit turret at the top level, and now I just die. When I respawn, I do so in the turret, and there are enemies already flooding the platform, and I die fairly quickly. I'm seriously at a loss as to how to beat this section, it's brutal.

    Do you have grenades? Because in every Killzone I have ever played, Grenades have always been the solution.

    Edit: Except for the ending of Killzone 2, where the final boss is most easily beaten with by actually using your knife a copious amount.

    I just beat Knack. I had fun with it in co-op, but the story was ultimately disappointing. I don't regret choosing it as my B2G1 free game, though.

    I was warming to the idea of Rivals, but I might hold off. Most of the footage I've seen has people driving alone at high speeds, occasionally dodging a police trap - it's pretty, but seems a bit sparse without friends involved.

    Drive Club is a bit of a gamble, but I think I'm just more engaged by good old fashioned circuit racing. And cockpit views.

    As a petty aside, I think police vehicles which are exotic supercars have always looked kinda dumb.

    Oddly enough, I'm pretty sure I beat that guy with an accidentally perfectly timed grenade. He just teleported into it.

    Well I imagine that it makes sense in a city where illegal street racing is a major problem on every road, any time, day or night. The whole game is silly when you think about it too much.

    I just did an hour of Playroom Twitching, got over 100 people logged in and a bunch of followers and all I did was sit on my bed with my dog talking about games.

    This is such an insane (and oddly entertaining) fad.

    I'm not calling out NFS: Rivals' rich lore specifically - ever since I was a kid playing with Matchbox cars I always thought regular squad cars looked cooler.

    My girlfriend has just 'suggested' I should probably attend her friend's birthday night out this Friday, aka PS4 launch day. It's the kind of trashy outing and terrible venues/music I'd hate at the best of times, but goddamn.

    I was on ustream playroom earlier doing some wotagei practice until my GF's brother complained about the noise. I put my external speaker right next to the camera to drown out the in-game audio since there seems to be no way to mute the in-game audio. I'll probably try to make it a regular thing on Friday/Saturday so people aren't working the next day. Aside from my friend who was there talking about it, comments were... Interesting.

    Ustream seemed to have significant lag though, so chatting wasn't as real-time as I would have liked

    There was an NBA demo last week. The bad one of the two NBA games. It was kind of buried - demos are hard to find.

    Lego Marvel is great.
