SkylineBlue 23,351 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Stay away from all that shite, not worth the risk.There seems to be quite a lot of folk who have already used them and had no problems. It's also all paid for through pay pal which gives the payer protection. I'm usually totally avoid this type of thing but impatient for nba I don't understand how it works though?

I think it has to do with shared accounts and such. You see things like that all the time on ebay, 19.99 for a new game but it's a digital copy and you need to share passwords/accounts etc so no trophies and the game isn't yours. Not sure if this is how this one works but it can't be that far of the mark. I'd stay well clear but if you're desperate to play the game maybe give it a try and see if it's for you and if not then get it to fuck.

You dont give them any of your logins, they just give you the log in details for the account with the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually totally avoid this type of thing but impatient for nba I don't understand how it works though?Unfortunately not, paypal's buyer protection is shite when it comes to digital purchases. It's incredibly hard to prove you didn't receive what you paid for after all..You also have to remember game sharing is against Sony's ToS.. So if Sony suspend the master account you're up shit creek and will lose everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 71,888 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My PS4 sounds like a jet engine these days, maybe it's because I have it in a small compartment under the tv.Don't usualy notice it gaming as sound is up but when I go to the menu it's very noticable.Insuring the bastard asap.

It also pumps out very hot air.Going into the OS while playing a game seems to really tax it thats when i notice it going mental the most.

I've had it since launch and play it maybe 10 hours a week so it's not on for very long periods of time. That's not stopped me needing a new controller right enough due to the faulty left stick that seems to be a standard issue with every ps4 owner I know.

aird 3,774 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The fan on mines use to work overtime in Far Cry 4, but doesn't really work as much with the other games. Occasionally goes loud in GTA and AC:U. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mols94 3,669 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My PS4 gets a bit loud when its loading the game and if its been on for a while but I think that's pretty standard.Also came across a crashing error today that seems to be fairly common and Sony have done nothing to fix it. My wee brothers account can't play some online game modes like pro clubs, it just crashes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBluenose1972 1,405 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Uncharted 4 info- Porting TLOU to PS4 helped Uncharted 4 development- Small team working on it since U3 development ended, half the team moved to U4 after TLOU and the rest after Left Behind- Takes places 3 years after U3- At the start of U4 Drake is living an happy life with Elena, then Sam appears- Drake thought Sam was dead- Sam life depends on him finding an artifact from Henry Avery- Drake feels indebted of his brother and he can't resist getting back on treasure hunting- Story takes Drake and Sam to Libertalia "a mythic Madagascar colony purportedly founded by pirates"- Says you're not going to spend the whole game on the island, teases snowy and urban enviroments- Two rival hunters, Rafe and Nadine- Rafe is a very different treasure hunter than Drake, with different morale and approach- Nadine owns a private military company in South Africa- Villains will play a bigger role this time- "The lack of Sam being in Nathan life for so long is what's driven him in the last games"- Sam is five years older than Drake- Teases Elena and Sully- Sam is even more reckless than Drake- Sam is jealous of Drake, sees him as the 'better at everything little brother'- Lots of rivalry between them- ND didn't want to talk about Drake and Sam past- Artifacts (collectibles) may contain notes poiting to more treasures/artifacts- Enemies can grab your leg if you try to push them over ledges- More tools besides Rope and Piton (metal spike)- They're not ready to talk about them yet- Wants to incorporate the tools into puzzles- GI saw an extended demo with a new scene. Drake is beaten down while Sam is rested, they start arguing the existance of Avery secret, then something catches Drake's eye, he moves forward, pull some foliage, revealing a gray monument with a carving.- Focusing on navigational freedom for this entry- Showed multiple paths, one finding an extra cave, other bypassing a group of enemies- Plenty of side stories if you're looking for them- In the demo they showed Drake taking a more riskier climbing route, that almost makes him fall in the sea- All paths have consequences, there's no "Golden path"- Rehauled A.I system- Compared Sam A.I to Ellie, but says Sam is a grown up treasure hunter, so he's much stronger than Ellie- Trying to "explore what it's like to be with somebody as capable of Nathan Drake"- Not giving a straight answer if this is Drake last adventure- Still plenty of humour in the game- Concept of set piece is "What's something impactful that we can do to switch expectations and how can we have it emotionally charged?"
