Yikes

Good thing I don't bother with messaging.

truefan13749d ago (Edited 3749d ago )

No way this is possible, the ps4 is perfect and PSN is great. The guy was probably sitting his ps4 on carpet or digging into his controller with his fingernails.

In all seriousness it's probably an isolated incident.

GarrusVakarian3749d ago (Edited 3749d ago )

Was there any need to troll?

"or digging into his controller with his fingernails. "

I have the issue of the left analogues outer coating wearing down myself and i can tell you right now that there is no way that the reports i saw on this website were legit. The pictures looked like the sticks were cut, not worn down, they didn't have a smooth worn down look. You don't CUT into rubber with the surface of your thumb, it's just not possible.

Im not saying it doesn't happen, because it does. But that dude either cut it deliberately or literally plays with thumbnails that have been cut into a V shape.

On topic: Im glad i don't group message.

MestreRothN4G3749d ago

^ To be fair, the rubber is not cut by the finger, but by the hard plastic below, from the stick itself summed with the thumbs' pressure.

I have not had this issue in any of my DS4s, but it doesn't look like it's gonna last a long time as my DS3s did.

MasterCornholio3749d ago

I can't believe this guy replied to me.

How disgusting.

UnholyLight3748d ago

Yeah, PSN may be good, but it surely is not flawless. I've had my fair share of problems and it is to be expected in my eyes. Xbox Live was always a more solid service and Microsoft probably has way more money to throw at it to keep it as solid as possible since they've had subscription base from the very beginning whereas Sony did not.

But for what PSN and the PS4 do for me, I've been very happy with my purchase decision and it's seen a lot more play time than my Xbox One..probably because so far I've chosen the PS4 as my multiplat console.

What's weird is that I didn't see anything in that article about messaging causing your console to be corrupted.

FamilyGuy3749d ago

lmmfao!, I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets disgusted when trolls reply to my post.

It's like a big ass fly buzzing around your head. "Just go away!"

JohnnyTower3749d ago

That's pretty crazy. Has this happened to anyone yet?

AceBlazer133749d ago (Edited 3749d ago )

Never happened to me.

@truefan you fail so hard it ain't even funny.

BattleTorn3749d ago (Edited 3749d ago )

I haven't had any issue nearly as severe, but I have experienced this:

I had a group chat on PS4, that went on and on between other group members.

When I sign into my PS3 every single group-message was in my PS3 inbox as if each one was individually written to my ID, by each group member. This has made my PS3 inbox a massive cluster fk.

It initially had me change my password, because it lead me to believe my PSN ID had been hacked and overtaken because it appeared as though someone was conversing with various IDs from my PS3. (namely because I wasn't familiar with half the IDs involved in the PS4 group-chat)

This took a minute of figuring out.

NukaCola3749d ago

Yeah the PS4 and Vita run group chat seamlessly but when you log onto the PS3 you get bombarded with every message as a single email..even if it was you who wrote it. Wish it translated into the PS3 group messenger better.

adventureghost1243749d ago

I wouldn't be too sure of this, like they said in the article Sony support said its a PSN side issue, If thats true then I highly doubt that it could do that much damage to your console

Bdub20003749d ago

Oh no, X1 just won the console war...

I never had this happen but there were two occasions when I would switch from message to games, and or message to music unlimited and the messages would crash... then it ask for a report. This only happened twice so far and I got mines in Dec 20th

Days Gone, 5 Years Later

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

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

Crows902h ago(Edited 2h 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

-Foxtrot33m ago(Edited 31m ago)

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.

mkis00726m ago

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.

Michiel19898m ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot5m ago(Edited 5m ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw2h 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.

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
