3 Things That Have Annoyed Me As A PlayStation 4 Owner

IM PLAYIN's Kailios discusses his PS4 and a few of the things that have annoyed him thus far about the console.

"When an update has to come out because the previous update itself caused issues, y you know you’ve done a slight boo boo. Now I love the features that came with 2.0, and it has added some additional depth to what can be done, but it’s frustrating as to why these things have not been tested before going live. Especially when said updates have been in the pipeline for some time. And to also cause issues on the start up from rest mode was also another problem to add on. Also as it might of given away in the above paragraph, the fact that the 2.0 update meant that I missed out on the Evolve Alpha has definitely pushed a few buttons!"

The only thing i wish Sony did was greatly improve the online network, as of now its good but we all know it could be better. All those maintanace downtimes really get tiring

[VforVideogames]

The other thing that annoyance me is that the controller needs to be plugged most of the time.

[The_KELRaTH]

Hardly worth calling cordless now!!

[Kurisu]

The battery life is pretty poor compared to the DualShock 3. It's a shame because the overall feel and design is much more comfortable than previous PlayStation controllers. I bought a second controller when I got mine, so when one is charging I'll just use the other one.

[joab777]

I have 2 and never have an issue.

My only problem is lack of streaming from my pc.

I know updates almost always need a further update. I'm not gonna bitch about updates.

Driveclub was a failure and it's too bad. But I didn't love the idea anyway.

Everything else seems pretty damn great!

[ramiuk1]

get the higher capacity batterysand its 4 screws. job done for under £6

[KwietStorm_BLM]

lol most of the time? Plug it in when you're not playing. "Problem" solved. Yea the battery life isn't great, but all these people complaining about it aren't trying to do anything about it either.

[SniperControl]

Like you have a PS4. Lol

[redwin]

Sony players did not miss much with the Evolve Alpha. I played it in the box, not a biggie

[ReturnToSanity]

"it's good"? Please elaborate. Because it's a mess.

[f50liv_imposter1]

there will be nothing wrong with psn anymore from now on

[BABY-JEDI]

You could say that about any network.

[GdaTyler]

I only wish I could afford a PS4. It sucks when friends are enjoying it and I'm left out. T_T

[MEGANE]

Message system is broken! is driving me crazy

[CoTton_MoUtH]

What grind my gears is when I'm in the middle of a online game and the game crashes and that damn error code CE-34878-0 pops up.

[parentsbasement]

for me the whole online experience is lacking , the friends , messages , invites , party .....just all of it, that's why all online games for us are X1 , single player PS4......its nice to have both and a choice.....

[turdburgler1080]

Agreed. I own both and every single online multiplayer game is on xb1. If it's a multiplat or exclusive it goes on my ps4. Honestly xb1 gets more love because of DLNA with MKV support and HBO GO. If sony ever gets around to it I can almost guarantee they will not support MKV since they also make movies. They wouldn't shoot themselves in the foot.

[livedeht]

Lmao, live is NOT better then psn !....maybe once apon a time but that is no longer the case !, psn has leapfrogged live in features (shareplay, remoteplay ect.), capabilities (100+ million consoles connected), dependability (I am so upset about MCC I am a day 1 buyer) they couldn't even get their flagship series to work online (so much for azure huh?) I don't need excuses I just need it to work day 1(b4 u ask driveclubs issues weren't acceptable either however this is HALO we are talking about...I bought my bone for it !) Lol I don't even have to bring up PSnow (expensive but impressive), xbox Juan doesn't have jack (and their party chat is broken) you can't even send a voice message a year after launch !!! Lol xbox Juan for exclusives ONLY !

[Kavorklestein]

Master Chief collection is just fine. Issues are there, but they are also being exaggerated in some cases, and being patient solves MOST problems.. especially in gaming, and LIFE in general.

If people are REALLY that upset that the game is struggling online when there is 4 full length campaigns to play, then they need to get a life. Multiplayer is not perfect, bought my bone for COD and Halo, and they both work well enough to keep me satisfied. I am really enjoying Master Chief Collection, and Cod is awesome Online and in the Campaign. Dabbled around with games from Ea Access library, and I gotta say, if all publishers did something similar with their titles, that is when the true revolution begins. Sure we don't OWN games thru EA access, but for the amount of games, discounts, early access, (with more on the way) and the price, this is BETTER than ownership. And if people really want to own a game, then go buy it and stop reaching for the stars with attempts at discrediting the VALUE of EA Access.
I love my Xbox One.

I want a PS4 too, but not until next year... that's also only IF: I see if The Order is any good, or we see more of Uncharted.

[livedeht]

This kavorkian guy between my posts is bat sh*t crazy lol

[f50liv_imposter1]

stop lying to yourself the xbox one has many downtimes and its party chat app is in a complete mess. the ps4 is superior

[u4one]

xbl isn't 100% up but it is more stable than psn. In the last year i'd say i've had a 3:1 problem ratio with psn over xbl. i don't really care which one is superior, these are just simply my observations. xbl also seems to come back faster when services do go down as well.

[Lawboy2]

You should try having both before speaking

[Svinya]

That's exactly how it was for me last gen. Online on 360 and single on ps3. Plus the ds3 was too small and flimsy in my hands and the lack of triggers made me buy the snap on triggers.

[CaptainObvious878]

No idea what you're talking about. Party chat and invites work great for me. Patches download and install super fast for me as well. I never understand when someone says xbl is vastly superior.

The only thing I would change is updates to auto download when you first pop a disk in and it starts installing. It's so stupid then when I start the game, then the patch starts downloading so I immediately have to quit the game.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

What annoys me as a ps4 owner is bloodborne being pushed back, And my disk drive constantly going out.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Your disk drive constantly going out? What do you mean? That sounds like a problem with your system.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Exactly...ive been thru 5 ps4 systems 4 of which had bad drives and one rufused to stay on. Very annoying

[CocoWolfie]

oh i wouldnt complain about bloodborne XD think about how many "stellar" hits the ps4 has had if were honest. its like; think about ac unity, a month after launch it was a lot better. so for bloodborne, its good (we need this game to be good!), so id say take as long as they need :p

[kurruptor]

5 bad systems? Why do I find that hard to believe? In another thread you said you've barely used your PS4 since Infamous.

I guess you're using it as the 4th leg on your entertainment system.

[zero_gamer]

Bloodbourne being delayed is likely only for the best. That's what should've happened for AC: Unity.

[titans9999]

I wish for....

(1) free on line gaming

(2) mp3 ability to put on hard drive

(3) profile comments and ability to add custom wall paper

Nuff said...

[Dynasty2021]

PSN is unstable.

Not a single "free" game worth the PS+ for PS4.

Only 1 "next gen" game in a year - Shadow of Mordor.

This generation has been piss poor so far.

[Paprika]

I just wish for new titles on ps3 like kingdom hearts 2.5 to also offer a ps4 exclusive download code. Really annoyed as my ps3 only plays digital, my lens needs replacing.... would much rather buy the ps3 disc and have the option to DL for ps4!

[u4one]

personally i wish features updates for the ps4 were common, but when they come they are good. you can't fault a major update if it breaks a thing or 2. there are so many variables and configurations involved across such a huge number of consoles and situations - its near impossible to get every single thing right. test as much as you can, sure but eventually the ultimate test is releasing it into the wild and seeing how it performs. at least they got a patch in place quickly.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

One thing that needs a fix imo is text chats I can't stand being invited to a random chat full of immature kids to leave and them constantly spam day after day and get caught in an endless cycle

[StormLegend]

Just need the got dang Messages fixed! everything else is gravy!!!

[fanboysmackdown]

IMPLAYIN....your grammar flat out sucks. And, here's a thought, do some proof reading or get a friend to read your mess before you blather it on the public.
