PS4 needs a better PlayStation Store - Here's 10 ways to start

PSU writes:

"These lofty initial goals leave the PlayStation Store's current state looking something like a disaster. Between freezes, patches, unresponsive menus, and an interface that makes finding old content harder than ever, it's hard to believe that the new Store is any kind of improvement over the old . . . they better make damn sure that PlayStation 4 sees serious upgrades to the PlayStation Store. Here are 10 suggestions, for starters:"

IMO the old store was way better than the new one, faster and easier to find things. Now, I don't use the store from PS3, I just use it from my laptop browser.

dedicatedtogamers4024d ago

Agreed. The new store is so laggy. I don't understand why Sony had to change the layout. It takes three times longer to load up, and three times longer to find anything.

dorron4024d ago

The worst part of it is they do know it but won't go back to the previous store...

banjadude4024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

Also, for me at least, I liked the "blueness" of the old store.

ABizzel14024d ago

@dorron

I think a fusion of the two would be better, 80% like the old store 20% like the new store.

As you said the old store was significantly faster, and easier to find things.

But the new browser advertises games and content much better, and it's nice having a top 10 list so people can see what's being bought on PSN.

The new store wouldn't be as bad if it was sooooooooooooooooooooooo slow.

It wont do anything the last 2 days I've been on it

You know something's wrong when your Store has FPS issues...

And every time i log in i have to download and install a patch/update. It took me 5 mins to redeem a code the other week.

I am covinced the ps4 store will be better. Sony are working hard to fix oddities like this and theyve impressed me in recent months

kreate4024d ago

It doesnt matter if u give suggestions.
Sony went wrong with 2 things for me, the ps store and changing ps home.
Both were upgraded, but its worse than before.

For ps home, how can u get rid of central?
I want my benches back.
For ps store, how can u replace the old blue store for this piece of crap?

Knight_Crawler4024d ago

They took away central...have not been on Home for about 3 years but the central area of Home was the best part for me and loved meeting up with people in dance area.

Is home still in Beta?

kreate4024d ago

Last time I checked, yes.
And I know exactly what u mean w central plaza of ps home.

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Leeroyw1h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno1h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
