(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So something similar was done like this over in the XBone section and some people left their opinion so I thought well this is predominately a PS forum so why not ask.

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best how happy are you with your purchase so far?

Also are you looking forward to future improvements?

Lastly your overall thoughts of this system so far?

Me personally I'm at around 8 on the scale. It was a pretty shaky start but I'm happy about the next update that I can record with my Elgato and also how my systems runs. The reason I'm not quite at 9/10 yet is simply because there is that odd maintenance that you can supposedly play on but you receive this "PS+ is requires to play online, other than that I'm great!

Thanks for any comments.

8/10 mainly because there's not that much interactivity with the PS3 community meaning i cant do something as simple as a text chat with friends on the PS3 or voice chat for that matter, that being said I'm still able t play some games with the PS3 community like DCUO and FFXVIXVIXVXVIX part 15 or whatever number they're on now a days. And also because of the lack of games they have out at this time, luckily its still early in its life so i expect a lot more from this system in the coming months. but until then 8/10 will do.

Also you might wanna stop reaming and chewing on your analog sticks so hard maybe they'll last longer.. Just a thought.

At current, the PS4 has great potential but definitely off to a slow start.. At least a year until it actually takes off because the lack of strong Multiplayer Online content, but I know it's going to be 10/10 in due time Smile

10/10 the games are great, in my opinion the best exclusive so far that can really show off the potential is infamous second son, an open world game with amazing textures and quality that lives up to the hype of next gen, only downside being that you can't go into water but everything else looks amazing to make up for it, the trees shake, there is smoke, destruction, explosions, the shadows are amazing, the engine is just amazing, many things in that game make it look like you're in real life, the streets, the buildings, with little to no flaws, there are more coming, the update is coming, obviously more things than they have promised, more things that we wanted, greatness awaits.

try safe mode and rebuild database, or if you havent got much on your hdd, then initailise and reinstal the system software with the new hdd file (usually 800mb+ or so)

might even fix it.


The long boot time only happens sometimes. I talked to sony they said it a glitch in the firmware and would be sorted in the next update. So I just put the PS4 to rest and play some modded GTA v

I enjoy the Ps4, but sometimes I feel let down. The ps4 expectations for me were to easily multitask and switch between games and other things easily. Sometimes that's not the case and I think people who own a ps4 can easily understand that. When you're playing a game, and then you hit the ps button and you message a friend, go to web browser, it lags, I thought it would be smooth. With all that PC power in the system I thought it would have been easy to multitask.
The game DVR pisses me off, it's so hard to use, and I don't understand it still. It says it records every 15mins, but when I do something cool on a video game, I go to it, and it's not there, it shows what I did like 30mins ago. That I hate so much, and the editor pisses me off too.
PS plus is pretty cool, how they give you free games is nice, musicunlimited is a let down as well and is so difficult to add music and lags when I try to play.. and another 10$ a month for that? No way I can just use my iPod lol.

I am excited for all the new games coming out and I am impressed from all the nice graphics the PS4 can handle. The games is for sure the strong point for the ps4, but the layout and how the ps4 actually works, kinda sucks. Hopefully they can fix my issues (and yours as well)

I'm not mad with my purchase, but I'm not totally happy either, I think I did make the right decision with the ps4 over xbox one, but will shall see.

7/10 for me. Oh and the thought of playing old games (ps1, ps2, ps3, on the ps4 is amazing I hope it happens and works perfectly)

Good thread.

About playing old games I really hope that is a success as well! I could agree when it lags a bit when you're playing a game and try to multitask.

Could basically agree with you on the most part.

Thanks for the response!

I would give it an astounding 9. The graphics and smooth gameplay as of now mean that they will progressively get better. I have high hopes for PS4 and they will most definitely be fulfilled once Tom Clancy's Division and Watchdogs come out.
