Wait, so you have a PS4 and have it working right now? Because that forum I linked says it was working at PS4 release, but some update broke it and has been broken since.
How long does it say it's been broken? I haven't used it since Oct/Nov last year during Dark Souls III DLC.
I wish I had the luxury of being able to sit on my arse playing games as much as you obviously do, Thief! Seriously, I really do but, alas, life intrudes. Oh to have the carefree time of my childhood back again...Quote:

Back to this player met issue, Gentlegamer, googling it is showing me all kind of time stamps. The most recent one I found is on the Dark Souls III GameFAQs forum. Says that they've fixed it and ever since it hasn't been working properly now. I'm trying to google to see if there's a fix for my issue then because it has never been working for me. Players met is a very nice feature because you can quickly look up the players you've played with if you want to send them a quick message, instead of having to remember some weirdo name with a telephone numbers in them + having to type them in.
I also had some trouble shooting trying to get that cheapo mic/headset that comes with PS4 to work. At first I thought maybe I had to push it in more but felt like I would break something if I added any more pressure, so didn't. Well, turns out I really did have to jam it in there. Got it to recognize, but still no one could hear me. Turn out I also have to set it to output through TV, because when you put it in, it automatically outputs all sound through that tinny speaker. Even when I set the switch on that speaker to act as a mic, defaults all sounds to tinny speaker, forcing me to change it in options every time I plug it in. Really annoying, because I tried pinning it on my chest, and when I have to get up to piss or eat, I unplug it from controller. It's also a very bad mic because it picks up way to much sound around a house. I have no experience with X-Box default mics as I've always used a Turtle Beach on that, and it always did a great job blocking sounds around the house. Cause I was always asking other players if they could hear certain sounds around the house and they always said no. Not like it's much of an issue on PS4, because everyone else might hate it or can't figure it out, since it's pretty quiet on PS4 land as very few player show that they have a mic plugged when playing MEA. And when someone does have a mic plugged in, it's always some annoying background noise or picking up everything they do or some loud mouth breather, etc. So I mute them all, lol. Welcome to Mute City. :p
Also, Gentlegamer you played DSIII, why didn't you say so. Lol, thought I was the only one who plays DS series on this forum.
I play Dark Souls, and I play it on PlayStation as the Furtive Pygmy intended.
I believe he's being facetious.Quote:

Got home and read about poor Theif complaining about his sore fingers and thumbs. (You might want to take a break and go outside and play real life instead Theif!)
On to ME:Andromeda I read a first look at the game on VentureBeat. To say I'm not impressed is an understatement. (Might contain spoilers)

Quote" Then, once I reached the center of the world, it got a little confusing. The map wasn’t that good at telling me where to go as there were multiple missions to undertake. I was supposed to find a colleague named Greer, but I couldn’t get up to the place where he was supposed to be. I found that the map was particularly bad at conveying 3D locations with its 2D landscape. Early on, that was OK. But later, it became pretty messy."
Sounds pretty shit to me, I guess they rushed so hard to push this turd out that they forgot to play test it properly.
Quote " As I explored the area with my companions, we found there was another alien race that must have created the artifacts in the world that the Kett were after. We found Sarah’s father, Alec Ryder. He was an impressive figure with a deep voice, and he liked saying big things like, “These are the moments that make it all worthwhile.” But in the dialogue choices, Sarah could respond to him either in a professional or casual way, but not so much emotionally. That told me that they didn’t really get along.In any case, the relationship between Sarah and her father is supposed to be the emotional hook. But I wasn’t really feeling it. And when a really big moment comes early in the game, you have to decide whether Sarah feels detached or emotional about her dad. In any case, the remainder of the first act deals with this particular story within the larger epic. And Sarah learns what it means to have a responsibility, not just for herself and immediate companions, but the whole human race."
Ugh emotion in games again. I don't give a fuck how she feels about her Dad, just give me shit to shoot at :mad:
I don't think Theif can tell the difference, I was being sarcastic the other day about him playing games all day and he gave me rep ..lolQuote:

No it all Sega-16 scientist to the end. But how about you put words into someone else's mouth.Quote:

Arthur C Clarke and Carl Sagan would have been proud of the story that was told, and so it is that I consider it told, complete, finished, over with. I wasn't one of those who whinged and whined over the end of Mass Effect 3, but rather one of those who accepted it for what it was. After all, if one buys a new Stephen King novel and doesn't like the particular end that the great man himself wrote to said novel, one doesn't exactly write to him saying "Hey! I didn't like this end! I don't agree with it! It was shit! Change it!" No, not at all. They just accept it for what it is, the end.
I have absolutely no interest in playing Mass Effect Andromeda. It has nothing to do with the storyline and characters I fell in love with once upon a time, and everything to do with a desperate cash grab on behalf of EA by cynically using the IP of a once loved franchise, ugly female characters or no ugly female characters.
The big problem with ME3's ending (and the game itself) is that *you* the player/Shepard are supposed to create a story throughout the game and series, and your choices didn't matter.
And at the very end this screen popped up
THE SHEPARD IS LEGEND GO BUY DLC LOL

My choices as Shepard did matter and lead up to the ending that I chose for him. I was happy with that and with the ending, no-matter how dark, I received. I was not interested, tempted or swayed in any way whatsoever by the lure of extra DLC promising to introduce me to a long lost Prothean pimp, grandmother or used-car salesman or whatever the hell it said.Quote:

Meh. Doesn't surprise me. I had my fingers burnt for the last time by the combined efforts of Aliens: Colonial Marines and Star Wars Battlefront. Having to 'unlock' a game I have just paid the best part of £45 for in the form of drip fed DLC just makes me want to gouge out eyeballs and skull-fuck people.Quote:
