Yeah, there's bf4 freezing issues, but it seems to be isolated to bf4.

It's highly annoying. I'll score pretty high on my Recon and near the end of the match it will freeze up and I have to task manager kill the program and lose any score I gained. That's the most upsetting part of BF4 so far. That and the texture flickering is still happening in the scopes.

For EA to put a blame on anyone else after being rated one of the worst companies several years in a row.... not saying too much.

I can't even play BF4 anymore after the latest update. It loads up to the menu screen and just quits. Ugh...

Loving BF4 right now on PS4 with full map pulled up in Battlelog via the web on my laptop.




Squad up on PSN: NeedsMoreBoost

Obliteration is really fun. With the new 1.51 system update and the server fixes I've been playing for several hours with zero issues, freezes, or crashes.

Looking forward to the big patch next week to fix everything including CONQUEST!!!

Forza 5 should be here Friday along with Dead Rising 3 and my big black box.

I keep thinking of this anytime I hear that name:


I'm a bit surprised you didn't get the games sooner. They're out on shelves at several locations now. Hope you enjoy your new console as much as I enjoy my PS4! And if you get a chance, I still recommend NFS a ton.

Tycho from Penny Arcade did a write up on it yesterday:

We had a fantasy wherein we would make a comic about Need for Speed Rivals. We couldn’t, because of “The Good Game Problem,” where talking about it just makes you want to play it. Making a comic, for us at least, requires some kind of texture to be present on it somewhere. It’s too smooth. If I were getting disconnected constantly, and not just a couple times, we could have gone that route. It’s not like Battlefield 4, where I haven’t been able to join a Conquest game for the duration of my PS4 ownership. And please recall that it’s my preference generally to play games on computers, where shit not working is reg’lar; they are less “gaming machines” and more loose affiliations of silicon which are occasionally embroiled in internecine warfare.
They’ve got the “caRPG” thing dialed in so hard it’s almost impossible to escape the delicious effects of the mechanism. You essentially take on quests, and earn experience, which gives you more cars and quests. It has the “second screen” thing people seem to have a hard **** for these days, but I’ve never gotten around to it. Not even because I don’t want to. It’s because I would have to stop playing the game, which I won’t abide.
Where they really have me strapped down is in its basic bifurcation: Cops and Robbers, or “Racers” in this manifestation. You play one or the other, though you can switch if you want to the other “career.” They feel different, at root: Cops earn experience points by driving well and ticking off quests, which gets fed back into the loop. Racers who drive well build a multiplier for the points they earn, but if they’re apprehended (read: pulped, Burnout style) they don’t get shit and the officers take their points. Racers also have vastly more capacity to augment their cars. But the way they’ve incentivized each here is exquisite, and it’s fun to smash and outwit the racing equivalent of AI “mobs,” but when you contend with a real person on these streets - and you will, because you’re always online - you will contort your body to eke that much more out of the corner. It’s got a firm grip on me. Holy shit.
Like I said, you can play as both, but I don’t really. I fucking hate racers; I hate them. I actually think they’re bad people. If you look behind you and see a Ferrari Enzo with an OBELISK plate, just pull over. If you make me chase you the fuck around, I’ll make sure it goes wrong for you.

huh, can't edit because it wants to eat all of my text.. okay, well, apparently Gabe gave his thoughts today as well on NFS:

Need For Speed Rivals

Tycho talked about this game yesterday so I won’t go into too much detail here. It’s fucking awesome is all you really need to know. He calls it a caRPG which I think is pretty smart. Driving around taking quests, unlocking new cars and leveling up their powers is super fun. I personally prefer the cop side of the cops and racers gameplay they have going on. There’s nothing like tracking down a real live person, flipping on your lights and then chasing them all across the map. It feels incredibly good to smash their car into pieces or drive them off a cliff.

When I sit down to play the PS4 at night the big choice is so I play this game or Killzone and it’s not an easy decision. Lately I just end up playing both and don’t go to bed until after midnight.

I didn't pay for any expedited shipping for the games. CoD was bumped up for free for some reason I didn't care to understand. :P

Woot! I was one of the lucky 12 at the Walmart down the street. Best Buy "sold out" at 11pm for some unknown reason when there were less than 10 people waiting outside. Forza looks and plays amazing so far. Good night!
