Finally! Glad they are solving this fast! I thought it was always my own internet connection! Connecting to servers takes on average for me about 5 minutes before saying servers are unavailable & that I have to play offline.
I tend to have my mind already set on a game before it is released. When looking at reviews I use them as an overview of what to expect for games I am unsure of getting or to compare my own feelings of a game or as an option to know more of a game. Reviews in gaming culture is changing because we do get to see live streams of games that more than help with a gamer deciding to purchase a game or not. Overall, a review is an opinion that enable the reader to get a general understanding of a game.
Best of all as gamers we should experience that game we have in our sights to play rather than setting standards, which is why demos of games are a great way to get a feel for a pre-released game(but that is a discussion for another time)
Greeat score! I have played for some hours and really enjoy it. I have not played a DBZ game since Budokai Tenkaichi 3. I enjoy the open range fighting which I have missed. The game could use a few updates for online play as well as for locking on to an opponent. Those are kinks that can be fixed. If you have been waiting for a nice Dragon Ball Z game this is a great go!
I think that games that have a longer experience you can get a lengthy enjoyment with. But also games like the Assassins Creed series that are lengthy due to trying to be a completionist is exhausting to complete and become more of a task to complete instead of being fun to complete.
Resogun is a short game but fun to complete as well as addicting. God of War III - as mentioned in the article - is a legend on PS3 and the experience is very memorable and is a household name to the PlayStation brand and the story is short. I personally finished Second Son in less than a week - Platinum in a week - but the game was personally fun to play and pleased me as a gamer.
If a game is short but great I am for it. If a game is long and great I am all for it. I choose quality of game experience over everything else developers do for games.
I believe we should just keep the Review Score. If I am unsure of the game I usuaully just scroll down to the number on here, IGN, & GameSpot to compare scores which are usually the same all around. But I also take to reading the article to get more info on why the game received the score it did. Even for some games I have no interest in, seeing the score has pushed me to read an article and actually get the game.
Take Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. I had no interest in the game until seeing scores for the game & reading did I have a change of perception and knew I would like the game. I look at scores for tv episodes & movies too. I do not dare to read articles on those but the score always influences me on choosing to watch a new show or not.
Keep The Scores. They are for a quick justification for those who do not have the time to read articles or who want to. But the score also causes some gamers like myself to take a chance at reading up on the game to see why they received the score they did.
@Jaz007 what makes the franchise fresh is when it takes on different movies, comic books, & shows. No one Lego game is the same. Lego Harry Potter is different than Lego Marvel Super Heroes.
Dragon Age Inquisition: I just bought the game & am enjoying it. There's so much to explore & do. Gonna be about 2 months before I actually platinum the game.
@get2sammyb Unrelated to this article, but is it possible to do a 2015 PlayStation gaming timeline or calendar for upcoming and possibly released games? I'm having a hard time keeping up with what's coming out besides for games I keep up on. Plus it'll make a great article of interest.
Will not be diving into this due to not having a great internet speed. If two people running Netflix in my house slows down the internet, then I can not imagine how streaming games will affect my gameplay. This is a step in the right direction for Sony though & hope they can make more money off of the PlayStation brand by including this on Smart TV's and tablets.
Honestly, Second Son lived up to the hype that was the face for getting a PS4 when it was released as well as being enjoyable to play during PS4's first year. Besides TLOU Remastered, no other game has lived up to the hype or the potential as I thought it would. Second Son deserves the Platinum Trophy in my book for PS4's game of 2014
Is The Swapper worth a download? I bought First Light, well pre-ordered it the day it was announced & already have the Platinum Trophy. I wouldn't mind having a new game to play in January
@get2sammyb Yea I do the exact same thing before starting a game on my PS4. I enjoy seeing what my fellow gamers are doing with their PS4. It makes you feel a bit connected with the PS4 community.
Also Sony should add in the details of PS3 players into What's New as well.
My game of the year is gonna have to go to inFamous Second Son from the games I have played. I have played a lot of games this year but no other game has engaged me to have fun playing while gameplay is fun to play with as well. I wish there was a multiplayer concept to the game though. I still am vying to get Dragon Age Inquisition when I actually get a chance. But 2014 has been a bleak year for the PS4 in terms of games being released.
2015 is looking much brighter with No Man's Sky. Uncharted 4, The Division, Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Star Wars Battlefront, Arkham Knight, so much to look forward to.
My 2015 Gaming List So Far:
1) No Man's Sky
2) Dragon Ball Xenoverse
3) Uncharted 4 A Thief's End
4) The Division
5) Batman Arkham Knight
6) Star Wars Battlefront
Also, I would like to play the remastered version of Beyond Two Souls
This feature would be great if their was a notification if your friend began playing a certain game such as Assassins Creed Unity so you both can complete missions & heists together.
This was one of the best gaming conferences I have ever seen Sony do. I was amazed at the beginning, settled down in the middle but a bit more of a little climax at the end. Great time for gamers next year.

Re: People Are Looking for a Reason to Hate PS4's The Order: 1886, Says Ready at Dawn
@Swiket Same here. I have nothing against the game at all. The game is just not appealing or groundbreaking.

@NEOTDS I will be one of those people not picking up the game. I am not intrigued at all by the game.

Re: Game of the Year: Gold Trophy - inFAMOUS: Second Son
@Davros79 Yea, but doesn't most games come with similar missions. SS actually had less samey missions than most other triple A games
