Forums - Sony Discussion - PS4 At its current state is the worst console I've ever owned

EDIT TO CLARIFY I DID NOT BUY A PS4 TO PLAY PS1 GAMES I BOUGHT IT FOR BLOODBORNE AND PERSONA. I BOUGHT THE WHITE ONE BEFORE IT GOES AWAY (DESTINY ONE)  

 

I got a ps4 and hardware wise it is lovely. It's whisper silent and the design looks great except that I didn't know where the power button is. 

It is..  However the worst console I've ever had (I don't have an Xbox one at the moment. But I have a wiiu and love it) 

 

It's not about the mandatory update since wiiu also had a SUPER long update and it was stupid. The ps4 one is super fast, I have the destiny edition (doubt I'll play the game but I bought it because it looked nice) 

 

The menu is pretty stupid. It's not something I'd see on a console. The games you played on disk for some reason stay at the start menu the vita has this same issue. You don't know if it's an install data or a downloadable game.

 

Where is the "play while it downloads" feature?  I wanted to play any game at all but I was just looking at downloads the whole time aside from playing driveclub (which is crap by the way) I have singstar downloaded it's the same thing as the ps3 app which is nice.

And then i realized something.... WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE Ps1 GAMES?!? WHERE THE FUCK IS THE "DOWNLOAD HISTORY" thing? I wanted to download suikoden and I wanted to see where all my stuff are. There isnt any so I'm just stuck playing generic overpriced shit like far cry and just wait for bloodborne to release. It is honestly the worst console I ever bought and I bought the freaking 3DO at least that one had road rush and need for speed.

 

I know i'm supposed to play ps4 games on ps4 but jeez it seems they released the consoles way too early and were just playing the waiting game. Everything seems to be unpolished, generic and extremely overpriced. And you can't even play your past games. no! you'd better use Playstation Now! (which is a huge scam at its current state.) 

 

Honestly if you're on the edge of buying a PS4, forget it. Wait about three years at least from now. The PS4 is horrible at the moment. Not even bloodborne is going to be worth buying this whole console.

This will end well...



Don't forget it lost November NPD. Who wants to have a loser at home?

Just plain awful all around.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Okay



"Generic overpriced shit like far cry" Oh boy! (Unless its a joke thread)

You bought a PS4 to play PS1 games?

Edit: I think I missed the sarcasm first read-through XD



Horrible effort, you gotta be less obvious.



I hate my PS4. I force it to play games 24/7. It gets tired but I tell it to shut up and keep running my games.



Buying a console during the first year is never great if you expect it to have an "end of life" amount of games to choose from at bargain bin prices, just never happens. As for stuff being a scam and the games you buy all being expensive... well again buying stuff day 1 is going to cost you more than a player choice style of game down the line, this sounds like you're suffering from a string of uninformed purchases really over the ps4 being a bad system. If you spent a few mins online you could find out which ps1 games were available on the system before you bought it... so you will have to stick to ps3/pspgo/pstv to play those on a big screen... or a psone/2 hah.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I have been saying that for the longest time, thank you! Matter fact, skip Sony all together this gen. They are jerks with their "experiences" and other shady shit.

But seriously, don't listen to this clown. If you are on the edge on buying a PS4, do some work and find out if the current and upcoming exclusives and features are up your alley.
