@PorllM I think you can just untick a box for recommended content or words to that effect?

Apologies if I was one of those that spammed you. It would appear that Sony give little thought to how these features and applications interact with one another. They're not alone though, the PS4 Netflix app neglects to include second screen capability which often results in me cursing as I get up and walk the 6/7 steps to gather my controller...

@DominicanGlory I don't know, from trying the demo I get where they're coming from. If that's representative of the complete package, I'd have gone with 6 or 7.

Is there a way to select & delete multiple game notifications yet?

Is it not 2 of the top 5?

Just saw the price on the UK store, that was scary enough.

I couldn't get past the tutorial either, tried several times over different days but I just don't "get" it.

Official soundtrack?

@Donald_M I just meant that if a PS Plus subscription is more or less mandatory for PS4 owners, then PS Plus discounts on games are not really discounts. Made sense in my head anyhow, less clear in front of me!

@Pipr Does the US not have a comparable sales tax to VAT in the UK? And is there not a PS Plus discount for the States also?
In all honesty, PS Plus discounts are misleading now that a subscription is more or less mandatory for PS4 owners.
A universal store for all, that factored in exchange rates would be my dream solution!

@get2sammyb So 15.99 USD but 15.99 £ ? Regardless of the quality of the release, European PS Store users have got to start boycotting these releases until parity of pricing returns.

Seeing as it's a team game, not sure why they focus on one or two individuals. As these are released on a yearly basis, why not feature the FIFPro World XI. Or a selection of the FIFA officials who've been found corrupt that year?

It would be good if these regional based sales were opened up to all markets, might get Sony Europe to up their game if customers started spending their money elsewhere.

Might just be my imagination or a sudden improvement in my eyesight, but text seems bigger than prior to patch.
No explanation of what the new control is or does, although maybe it pops up once you change it in settings?

The challenges may be different but I'd disagree that it takes less work. And would the number of people who frown upon having several episodes of the game 'in the bank " outweigh the number of people who hold off on buying the product until all episodes are released?
I just feel the planning of episodic games needs tweaking. If you know what you're paying for and when it will be released, you can't complain. Just choose whether to buy it not.

For this episodic structure to really succeed, timely release needs to improve. Imagine if the same "not this week, maybe next" approach was applied to any big TV shows, I doubt people would stick around.
It's also strange that streaming services such as Netflix now release full seasons of shows, ditching the episode drip feed that is becoming more widely used in gaming.
But then Life is Strange...

@kyleforrester87 Cheers, thought that might be the case but you've cleared the confusion!

What happened to 1.06? Or maybe my eyesight is just failing, I'll have to check when I get home.
Thinking of starting again, missed a few notice boards near start which means I get near to no XP for completing them and maybe the new control method will help me in battles, cos I'm rubbish!
I think it's great that these updates are coming thick & fast but quite a few of the fixes ought to have been there from the start. Wish the suggested route was more visible on the mini map though, can be difficult to make out. Best PS4 game though for me and best game in some time on all formats.

Sort of like the headline for this article in fact!

@RicksReflection Calm down there, your link to an opinion piece, which is pretty much debunked in its comments, was nothing but ignorant and lacking insight itself. I was not attempting to troll or anything of the sort.
Suggesting that the processing power needed to run a game on PC in Ultra at 60fps and in 4k is influenced by the PS4 is fanciful.

@RicksReflection And using digitaltrends as a reference point is probably a mixture of ignorance, stupidity and blindness...

@Matroska I remember it from the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST, think even the Commodore 64 had a version. Didn't know it was on Megadrive.

I wasn't overly impressed with the Microsoft presentation, feeling it lacked actual gameplay from most titles and just felt what was shown was increasingly generic and formulaic.
However, I was expecting even less from Sony but came away surprisingly optimistic. I felt there was more actual gameplay on show and there were a few creative risks, such as Dreams (currently unexplainable) and that Uncharted demo made Tomb Raider look even blander after that oddly familiar piece of gameplay shown by Microsoft earlier on.
My heart does sink every time "exclusive content" is smugly revealed, usually by the least convincing "gamer" from whichever company is presenting. In this area I feel we are being played by developers, publishers and manufacturers alike and it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. "Mines got more levels than yours" makes everyone look childish and just encourages the more extreme "fans", regardless of their console choice.

Nothing really tempting, Diablo isn't much of a discount when you consider the RRP the Store starts from is overly inflated anyhow.
Also, seeing some of the same titles at lower prices in the "Big Discount" for PS3 just adds insult to injury!!

@Gemuarto Give the guys a break. All I've read from you on this game has been of a negative nature, at times I've wondered why you are even reading the articles.
If you have any extra advice, why not just suggest it without the snark?

@Kie1976 Yeah, a bit steep.

@Kie1976 Would that be covered under the warranty though? My son is always leaving his vita on arms of chair, despite constant nagging, but were it to get knocked onto floor and broken I don't think I'd expect a free repair or replacement.

I can appreciate the time spent on creating such a detailed, living breathing world, but did no one think to suggest a larger font setting? Especially for all the menus? Haven't seen this raised in many reviews or comments, but it has put me off playing until some fix is made available. I want my eyesight in tip top condition for that unicorn...

@Eldritch I wasn't meaning the clips of the boxing bouts, more the gang street fights to claim territory.

Not sure about the "Gangs of New York" style street brawls. Maybe that did happen on the streets of London, but I can't recall covering it in History lessons or seeing it in any other media!
The new fighting didn't look particularly dynamic or revelatory and the carriage driving segments looked down right awful.
Saying that, if reviews are good I'll probably buy it.

A lengthy maintenance period is always going to affect one region or another. It's actually quite refreshing that it's not the UK and Europe for a change (apart from the night owls anyways)

I'm on the Beta, which was going excellent I have to say, really impressed. For past couple of days, PS+ icon has disappeared from profile.
Tried restoring licenses, only restores 1. One or two downloaded titles still work but the majority have stopped, as had Netflix and Now TV.
The consensus on the forum is to leave things as they are. The more you restore licenses, rebuild storage etc. the more access you lose!
Hope that answers your questions.

I'm just glad it's not affecting any disc based games as otherwise my ps4 has been rendered useless. Naturally, Sony's response has been poor and unfortunately that forum thread has started to unravel as people vent their frustration. C'mon Sony, do something good for the players!

@JesWood13 I'm with you on that one. I hope all PlayStation owners can resist the urge or need for this DLC as lack of sales is the only way this scourge of timed exclusivity is ever going to disappear!
