ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 So I think maybe my Madden 15 connection problem may actually have been on my end. Since my PS3 was getting 100% signal on my WiFi, I didn't think my PS4 would do much worse. Well it was apparently only at about 22% strength. I moved some things around in my room, rearranged my PS4 closer to the router (router is downstairs), and my signal strength is now around 50-60% and Madden is responding much better. Moving between features online actually respond is under 5 seconds, and I was able to do all my game prep stuff without being kicked off the servers. Maybe I won't be trading it in.

GoSox05 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) In case anybody out there ever played / still plays Titanfall, the game has been reinvigorated. Last week they put out a big update that includes a new horde mode-styled game type, new achievements, a new ranking system, and much faster lobby loads. Today, the game is half off and the DLC (9 maps) is $8.25 instead of $25. I'm assuming it's all motivated by the looming Halo release, but for anyone who's still a fan of the game it's a good time to jump back in. Love this game. That's cool that they added a Horde mode type game play. I'm going to have to check that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 QUOTE (kev211 @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 08:04 AM) Wow. Had no idea something like this was coming. Wow. So back in the day there was a Nintendo Power help line where these guys would walk you through very tough levels as part of the subscription. This just took something to a whole different level of maybe paying someone to get you through a part of the game in real time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Wow, I really suck at CoD. I haven't played online since the first Black Ops. I was decent at that, but my god I suck right now. I don't know any of the maps and being able to jump anywhere you want is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 OK I suck at CoD a lot less now. Once more awful people started playing, I didn't seem so awful anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 So Sony seems to be selling off everything but the console/gaming part of the business. Pretty crazy to see a tech giant like them cutting off multiple pieces to stay alive. They could end up being purely a gaming company in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're no longer the king of the TV market. The only thing they're really known for today is the Playstation brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Just picked up Shadow of Mordor from a friend. I'm not a big LoTR guy, so I don't really understand what was going on in the opening video, but so far it definitely has an Assassin's Creed feeling to it.

I just beat the PC version this last weekend. It's a really fun game. The story isn't anything deep or crazy, and you really don't need to know much about the LoTR world except the basic storyline of the LoTR movies. Once you get your bow upgraded and you get used to the combat system you can fight 50 guys at once and feel like a total bad ass. I'm hoping they come out with more DLC content because the main storyline is kinda short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I'm a Sony guy, but there are no games out for that system and won't be until next year. The AC Unity bundle on xbox one intrigued me, I like the price point, but the reviews for the game aren't so great. It's difficult to believe these consoles are selling so well when there's not much to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the new Batman game comes out early next year! On the Xbox note, I heard AC Unity game was real buggy so idk if that means anything to you. I've been a PS guy but Xbox i think is going to be cheaper on BF and has basically the same games as PS.

I don't think that's enough to get me to buy a console. I've been having more fun with PC games recently. I'd buy a PS4 tomorrow if a new Uncharted or Last of Us game was out. But that's not until next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Man, Shadow of Mordor is hard. I die a LOT. It's so annoying when you clear an area of bad guys, but then as soon as you encounter a captain or warchief, about 20 other guys suddenly appear. Too easy to get swarmed.

One of them got called into work and the other had to deal with slow download speeds for the 20 gig day 1 patch, then ran into the crappy matchmaking anyway. I've had about an hour playing custom games with friends and it was like I was a teenager again, just a blast and the game (Halo 2 in this case) still played fantastic if a little slow after all the Titanfall I've logged. But beyond that, matchmaking hasn't worked yet for me and I've been doing the Halo 1 campaign, which is fine for now.

Kind of mind-boggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
