Hopefully we can create an N4G community and play. What do you say guys?

Thatguy-3103532d ago

Omg make it happen! Lol I wish we can specifically find groups like in a search button. So far I'm loving the new feature. It's cool seeing people getting together and forming parties with players they meet in the community. Can't wait to see how this expands as the platform grows

nosferatuzodd3531d ago

My user name is xmantaclan

Eonjay3532d ago (Edited 3532d ago )

Do it then invite us. Its Easy to make. I think you need some folks on your friends list to invite. Whoever makes the N4G page... Invite me as a friend. I am Eonjay.

_-EDMIX-_3532d ago

lol make it happen and I'd gladly join.

Bathyj3532d ago (Edited 3532d ago )

Im happy to be added but I dont think you guys want me. Im a social animal, except when gaming. MP died for me with splitscreen.

christian hour3532d ago

Same, though i'm anti-social inside and outside of gaming XD I have real bad social anxiety, can only cope in small groups of 2-3. Anything more and I spend too much time analysing what to say.

Bathyj3531d ago

Reminds me of a scene from risky business.

Sometimes you just gotta say WTF.

Abnor_Mal3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

Im in the same boat as Christian Hour, more than 2 or 3 people around me and anxiety overload, Doesnt even matter if we're all friends, its too many people. And dont put me in a small room with lots of people, i'd have to be standing in the open doorway. No crowded elevators, trains, buses or venues of any sort for me. This thread is getting a bit crowded, so im outta here.

Why o why3531d ago

Thats called age bathyj.....I bet if you were given black ops 3 you'd complete the single player story and ignore the multiplayer

I'm pretty much the same. The only real multiplayer I like is co ops and local

Sounds like an excellent idea, add me, Tag is Snipercontrol.

christian hour3532d ago (Edited 3532d ago )

I called mine "Dirty Little Potato People" cos I'm irish and wanted somewhere where all the people I grew up with who have PS4's could meet up and organise things :)

Any harmontown fans in here might get the reference XD

Also the description is "Rathcoole/Saggart/ThoseO therPlaces Alumni" and they censored out the 'THC' in Rathcoole XD

I thought I was losing it. Everything is working in my house except PSN. I checked the PSN page an hour ago and it was all green checks.

I just checked again, everything is red. Says they're doing maintenance.

Eonjay114d ago

It finally came back up but I must say that it's really unacceptable to not be able to play my games when it's down. Also I have gain a new appreciation for physical games. I know digital keeps growing and growing but the thing is you are paging for something you don't have complete control over and that's lame.

Cacabunga114d ago

It has been over a year since ps+ expired and i only play SP games. I only got 1 month ps+ basic back when i had to do rdr2 online trophies.
I couldn’t care less and shows sp games will always FTW

darthv72113d ago

....and this is why everyone should support more than one platform. Switch has been getting more play time as a result.

VersusDMC114d ago

Well i am locked out of my digital single player games because offline play wasn't activated and licences can't be verified. And i got no physical games. Gotta remember to activate that when it's back up.

Hopefully it comes back up soon.

neomahi114d ago

I have several PS4 consoles in my house for various purposes, I'm screwed because I have such a large collection and I don't want to have redownload whenever I want to play a game. I want to fire it up, like going to a shelf, pulling a game off the shelf, putting it in the disc drive and off you go that fast. Can't do that with digital and limited HDD space. Installing a disc is faster, you don't have to worry about data caps and internet speeds, and storage space is really expensive. Xbox just allowed a 16TB HDD to be accessed by Xbox, but that 16TB is gonna cost you, even more if it's SSD, if those even exist yet.....

VersusDMC113d ago

It is still down but if you go to settings -users and accounts- other - restore licenses i managed restore a license to a single player game. Back to replaying GOW Ragnarok.

solideagle113d ago

Single player my a**

I have downloaded unicorn overlord, Spiderman 1 And many offline single player but I am getting error to restore license but psn is down in UK.

What a load of bullshit that I can't even play single player games...

Digital is future /s :@

Sonic1881113d ago

LG_Fox_Brazil114d ago

Still down, been a while since something like this happened

Christopher113d ago

Not a good sign that they haven't said anything yet.

anast113d ago

Ask PlayStation X: "We are aware some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN."

LG_Fox_Brazil113d ago

I'm playing Fortnite with my cousin right now, but it's the only game with servers up, the rest is working, library, store, downloads, it's just the online, which sucks, cause I wanted to play Helldivers and Phasmophobia

LG_Fox_Brazil113d ago

Update: It is back here in Brazil. 20 hours later, goddamn

OmegaSoldati113d ago

Still down. More than 12 hours. 2011 flashbacks incoming

P_Bomb114d ago

Yeah it’s all shot. Friday night? Bad timing. 😤

Profchaos114d ago (Edited 114d ago )

Saturday midday for me so no biggie Friday night would be annoying

Profchaos114d ago (Edited 114d ago )

Seems to be a big one so might extend into Saturday for the you guys

P_Bomb114d ago

Yeah, no end in sight. I watched some KCD2 streams to pass the time. Time to call it a night 😴

neomahi114d ago

Would've made more sense to do maintenance during the week. I get it, it's a necessary, but don't do it on the weekend! That and people with digital game collections are up the creek

Nacho_Z114d ago

Suggests it's a problem and not planned maintenance given the timing.

Profchaos114d ago

Down for me but single player PS plus games still work and obviously anything I own digitally or physically so big deal

Tacoboto244d ago

When PSN is down, can people even use their PS Portals locally?

I'm also near platinum in Astro but I can't even load the trophies page on the system with this issue going on.

OtterX244d ago

Yea, this thing just became a paper weight. :\

I just tried, and it woke the console up out of sleep mode just fine, but it's stuck in a neverending attempt to actually connect. I've had my Portal for a bit over a month now and have absolutely loved it... but I just found my biggest dislike of this thing.

lukasmain244d ago

Works fine for me as writing this.

OtterX244d ago

@potatoseal great! Glad your region is working. Mine's still stuck in "Connecting". :\

fr0sty244d ago

USA seems to be ok, just turned my system on and all is well.

OtterX244d ago

Yea weird, my Portal wouldn't connect until I actually restarted the Portal. It's working fine now! 🔥

Profchaos243d ago (Edited 243d ago )

No it still needs to use you PlayStation account authentication to connect the two systems. Both ends need to be able to talk to PlayStation authentication servers to verify your identity prior to connection. It's a good thing I guess as you wouldn't want a unauthorised connection to your console

There's a alternative remote play app on the app store that allows it but it's not going to help you with the portal right now

kayoss243d ago

Im able to connect using my PS Portal but all my games have the "License cannot be verified...." error.

Yui_Suzumiya244d ago

And here I just dusted off my PS4 the past week after not touching it for over 3 years and now I can't even play an offline visual novel (World End Syndrome), lol

Christopher243d ago

It was a night of Vampire Survivors for me.

Disccordia243d ago (Edited 243d ago )

Great choice, still waiting for WORLDEND PHENOMENON...

Yui_Suzumiya237d ago

Same here! I went to Twitter to check up on progress for WEP and apparently it's on the backburner for the moment while the production team works on a spin-off that takes place in the same universe as WES. I did get the platinum trophy though. Now I'm working on Steins;Gate Elite which I should have gone through years ago because the anime adaptation is what got me into anime to begin with, lol.

P_Bomb244d ago

Yeah it’s been 3 hours as of this writing. No official word on the cause that I know of.

ZeekQuattro244d ago

Verizon had outages across the US yesterday. Probably still do bit it didn't effect me. Wonder if this is related or just a coincidence.

blackblades244d ago

I can see people in my friend list playing, its not everyone just like other times. I don't mind I got other things I can do in this world we call life. It's funny on Twitter cause they all use the same excuse "oh just got off work and just wanna play". Also I like free stuff compensation would be great, I prepared for it to go down so I can get more out of it compensation

Michiel1989243d ago

day 2, drums in the deep. They are coming

LG_Fox_Brazil244d ago

Just checked and it seems Xbox is also down, is this ddos? Downdetector has quite a few people posting about both platforms and also for Verizon as well

Reaper22_243d ago

That's not true. Xbox was never down.

gold_drake244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

yeh its been down for hours now.

everytime it goes down, i get ptsd from 2011 haha

3 weeks.

blackblades244d ago

Lol I don't I be like yeah free stuff

Extermin8or3_244d ago

Free stuff at the expense of 3 months without PSN. No online play, no access to digital games .....

blackblades244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

@Extermin
Ain't talking that long, 24hrs is the limit. 24hrs should be that compensation time. 3 weeks I'm strong enough to handle it but its not worth it at 3 months bruh. 24hrs

Profchaos243d ago

@exterminator it was easier to stomach back then sure but at least there's still disc based games and games you have on your system will still load just fine unlike Xbox there's no check in to validate licences it just plays locally if it's not expired

How sweet of Sony to slowly migrate their audience to PC.
