I'm not a high-score guy, but I am an objectives guy. And the objective I was given was "save the humans".

I'm still wondering how you embed screenshots from Twitter.

Yep. Been trying for two days now. I either get kicked to the lobby or kicked out of the game entirely.

What has been going wrong with some of the systems? Is the broken disk drive the only thing? Have there been other issues causing bricked systems? I want a definitive list so I can check to make sure my system is ok.
They haven't really said. Some are having trouble with their HDMI ports. The Blue light dealio hasn't been explained to my knowledge.

Smart Glass is Xbox -_-
I was thinking it'd be Killzone or Assassin's Creed 4, but my instant failure at KZ has left me wanting to put it off for a bit until I'm in a better mood for failing. Also, I completely want to stream my failures so the world can laugh at/with me, but I'm not quite ready for that yet.
Meanwhile, the early missions of Assassin's Creed IV have me going "I hate this merchant guy and this main story line stuff. I want to get to Ninja Pirating Adventures! Bah, I'll deal with this later."
Thus, I'm mostly playing Warframe right now, and I am loving it.
I think he means the PSN app you can download for your phone. It's pretty tight.

Yeah. Until this shit is fixed, there is no way I'm even attempting single player.
My friend said he had no issues just doing quick match, but there's some gametypes I don't want to play, you know?
Also, is there a party system so I can just bring my friends and I into a game, or are we shit out of luck and just have to hope the server it dumps us in has an opening or three?
If you're trying to play Conquest that's a known broken game mode. Any of the 64 player maps seem to be having a hard time right now too.
Considering the PC patches just listed entering vehicles as a potential CTD, I'd say that may be it
I've been playing Domination with no issues whatsoever.
I watch little to no Basketball, and the last Basketball game I played was NBA Jam on the SNES.
But the unanimous praise has me keeping an eye on this Amazon deal, plus those who bought the system through them should be entitled a $5 credit for their PSN Store (will this be sold through that?).
Seems a lot of people like Lego Marvel as well.

Just roll with it. The story is actually quite good. You don't need to do the side stuff in Havana. Finish their story and do the story stuff with your pirate buddies. You could have a ship in about an hour if you didn't get distracted and didn't worry about 100% all the missions.
Welcome to DICE. Their QA people fight with Bethesda for worst QA of the year all the time.

Preach it, brother! I felt a little burned by 3 and was iffy going into 4, but I wanted something to stretch my PS4's new legs, and man I can barely tear myself away from the game. So much to see, so much to do, the open world, the variety of missions and things to upgrade, and and and.
I saw some mediocre reviews of it from a few places and from friends, and I feel like I'm playing a different game because I can barely fathom how anyone can't love this game.
Possibly my Game of the Year.
Also, don't they realize how much...
I can't *wait* to see what they do with a full out, pure next-gen AC title. It's going to be hard to top being a pirate though.
NBA 2K is DIFFICULT. Just putting that out there. If you're not a student of the game and ready to invest some serious time in the tutorials learning how the game controls and operates you're going to get frustrated quickly.
That said there's a 2 on 2 streetball mode, you can even be online with like 100 other people running around and watching games simultaneously play out on 7 different playground courts. Which is pretty spectacular.
Start party with friends.
Enter Game
Pop into multiplayer server.
System sends out invite to everyone in your party.
It worked in several games I tried it in last night. The one exception is Warframe. It has it's own friend list.
That's...a pretty cruel burn.
i await the video of his reaction. that'll be their Christmas present to the world.
So this is what happens when the internet-savvy have children. Maybe this ecosystem of family-killing wages is doing something right.
I got up to the part in the story where you get your ship and crew but
also it is possible that they're getting him an Xbox and are just messing with him as opposed to getting him just an empty box and creating a story that he'll tell to multiple therapists over the course of his life.
I stand by my suspicions.
On the other hand, I got NBA 2K14 purely for the graphical spectacle and have been enjoying it. The "learn the moves" tutorial is pretty quick and you can do it in parts, but either way, I've been having fun with the MyPlayer NBA RPG even if I'm taking dumb shots poorly. It's playable, at least at that level, without a huge investment.

I haven't noticed humans dying to low multipliers, but it's possible I missed it. I do know that at least one level will toss out multiple keeper sets that unlock to different human boxes. They have come out so close that it will only anounce "keepers detected" once. This leads me to destroy the first set, grab the human, drop him off and get a "human lost" call for the other guy.
Man I can't wait to dig into AC4, but I want to finish KZ first.

Having played the modern day section in Spain in AC3... I hope they don't do it too much. Sneaking into a building using the AC mechanics only works to a point. At a certain point, it is to easy to see the flaws in the system due to our modern-day experiences. That said, in support of the traditional gameplay it works since the experience is a limited scope thing. For example, go into this building, after hours and do what you do. Oh, by the way, you can get in through that tower they are building next door which is perfectly climbable.
I'm still getting mine on Friday, I'll let you all know if anything changes with it, and I hope it does.

While there may be other causes of the Flashing Blue Light, the primary cause seems to be the "handshake" that is done with your TV not being made. I've also found it happening when I have to power off the console and there is a disc in the machine - I'll just get stuck in the Blue Light loop.
I'm more annoyed that the controller last significantly less than the DS3. If that's the cost of having an always on light, I'm all for being able to turn it off.
1. How does recording videos work? I have never hit the "record gameplay" button yet when I looked at my Capture folder I have all these random videos on there. Some are like 12 minutes of a random game of COD, some are 8 seconds of me at the title screen of Resogun. Makes no sense. Where do I go to see the last 15 minutes that its supposedly always recording?
2. Can you watch someone's twitch stream right through the console?
3. Can you really only switch avatars you've bought or downloaded via the PS3? I have a bunch from Plus but they're nowhere to be selected, yet the one applied to my account now is one o got via the same process and applied via the PS3 awhile ago.
I will say it is wildly inconsistent in what automatically gets recorded - first party games seem to work as intended, but something like ACIV - I only have the one screenshot I took. In theory, this should be a continuous process - however developers can limit what can be recorded (it seems anything can be screenshotted).
2. You certainly can, that's the point of the Live from Playstation tab.
3. Dunno
In related news, Xbox One won't have streaming support this year:

1- well its supposed to record your last 15 minutes of gameplay and that is what you can edit and then upload
maybe those short clips are lapses in your gameplay? like you hitting the PS button (or share) stops the recording maybe? I know everytime I press share it takes a screen shot
-2 Totally! You can watch a ton of live streams from the "Live from Playstation" tab I was watching someone play a speed run of knack earlier today
I'f youre asking can you watch someones specific stream from the PS4? like a person on your friends list? I think so... If they are broadcasting I thing the option shows up if you go to them on your friends list
takes a little time to load but Gaikai is what should make it instantly responsive i think
3- IDK
Your objective is now to not drop your multiplier for all of the first level.
Tips :
You can do this, Dirty. You can make it through the first stage without ever dropping your combo and make 5 million points.
I believe in you.
[edit] Oh, and save all humans. That too.
