Love how most outlets have not reported this issue, since they have been paid to hide it. I went on the subreddit and people are sweeping it under the rug. Maybe it is a small handful of people having the problem, but it's still a problem and it should be talked about. 1 hour ago, Hecatom said: What annoys me more about this whole situation is that it shows how poor the options on their safemode are. You dont have options to let you salvage data and import them, or ways to recover it using external means. Add that you cant use the cloud save feature on aps4 that is not updated, neither you can access your clod savefiles on pc. Is just a fucking joke. Yeah that's another thing that pisses me off, the console is completely cut off from the the internet unless you update. So even if there's a fix, you won't be able to download it straight to the console anyway. Hecatom 1 Link to comment

Faltimar the Dark Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 That sucks. I hear lots of folks are complaining about it not having some kind of saving feature while playing. I guess its such an issue cause a run can last a long time. Read stories like yours. Hope they add a save function. P.S. I'll never play the game but it still looks cool. HD-Man 1 Link to comment

When i reported it, a lot of stupid fanboys came at me insulting me and downvoting me on reddit, a fucking joke i tell you XD If we go by youtube, it is at least over 500k to 1 million people based on the samples, comments, views on videos reporting it. It is not really small, but is small enough to not consider it a trending issue since is not more than 5% of the PS4 population. So sony is more than happy to shrug it under a rug. Is not the 1st time they have done this shit, they did the same with 8.01 and 8.03. And the fanboys dont help by being asshats shitting on people who have the problem.

KingTubb Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hey @iStu X@RSG3since y'all are NIS fans maybe you can help me. I'm playing through Disgaea 1 Complete and I feel like it's turning into a grindfest and I'm only 2-3 hours into the game. I tried to do some grinding in the item world, but I struggle to get to an exit where it'll actually save my EXP gains. For reference, I'm at the Mid-Boss fight and the dude's casters wreck my shit Link to comment

I liked La Pucelle but I'm not a NIS fan. I think most of their SRPGS are overly complicated messes for no reason other then to be overly complicated messes. I never really dug Disgaea all that much and I thought Phantom Brave was awful. In those games it usually does turn into a grinsfest unless you know how to exploit the games weird combat systems for big payouts. Probably really fun for people who like complicated set ups but not really for me. I'll stick to throwing stones at all my units in FFT lol. I like the two Tactics Ogre games a lot to. I'm a little bit of a Matsuno fanboy tho, I like SRPGS based on his design philosophies so games like FFT and TO are what really appeal to me. NIS games are generally too much for me. Sorry man, but I can't help you lol. Edited May 5, 2021 by RSG3 Darc_Requiem and KingTubb 1 1 Link to comment

I like the two Tactics Ogre games a lot to Yeah me too, FFT is one of my favorite games. Haven't had the chance to play TO (the only OB game i've played is 64) but if I ever get the chance, I'll find a way to pick it up. So far Disgaea is a little bit much, but I welcome some of the complexity and options it gives you; mostly the lift/throw options and the geotiles. The grind seems absurd tho. Luckily, Complete comes with an autobattle and a x8 speed option, so I can grind super fast. There is an insane amount of systems and stat stuff that isn't really clearly explained and I'm slowly figuring out (dark assembly, innocents, etc.) Like I just figured out you have to appeal to a vote to get better items at the shop, but it's under the "more expensive stuff" which seems kind of obtuse imho. Same with "Raise Military Funds" does that make it so I win more gold from battles? Or do they just give me money? BTW, you excited for Project Triangle?

MillionX Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) hell yeah I'm looking forward to Biomutant as well; I just noticed this vid a little while ago I'm also getting Back 4 Blood... I was just reminiscin' a few days ago with some friends how it was some of the most memorable co-op gaming experiences we've ever enjoyed in the Left 4 Dead games....heh, sheeeittttt we never even got close to beating the ridiculous "Realism" difficulty. One moment that I always remember fondly was the epic final moments of 1 campaign where I was the last survivor... a friend was helping distract the horde and a "tank" zombie while I was limping down the peer slowly, trying to get to the boat...(the final docks area of the Parrish, if I recall).... I was literally on 1 point of health there at the end, but was able to make it to the boat and escape....it was so much like the dramatic final moments of a horror slasher flick, where that last survivor is badly injured by manages to get away.

Where you guys aware the consoles can't go online without being on the latest firmware? I'm aware of this, but it's a really shitty practice when significant portion of the console's functionality is tied to being online. I understand WHY they do it, but in the event of an update that breaks functionality, you're basically ensuring that it's going to be a hassle for owners to fix the problem, and penalizing people who are waiting for you to fix your mistakes. It could probably be grounds for a class action lawsuit if people were inclined. Imagine if your phone did the same thing, locked you out of internet/network access until you updated?

Apex Legends is doing great but EA isn't trying to put all their studios into pushing Apex/Titanfall universe as the only thing making money at the moment. They have money coming in from other IPs that so if there happens to be a period in the gaming industry where BR or FPS isn't as popular they other things that they can turn to if they don't. Activision at this point has CoD and MAYBE Tony Hawk. If CoD shits the bed then they're gonna be pretty much held up completely by Blizzard and that's IF Blizzard doesn't collapse under the weight of their own hubris with some of they decisions they've been making in the last couple of years and/or Activision doesn't start finally eating away at Blizzard from the inside.

The Judges in FFTA are actual field units. They sit on a Chocobo and take up a field spot. Their job is to tell you the restrictions for the battle and then penalize you for breaking those restrictions. Some of them are incredibly asshole-ish like "Swords are banned" or "No use of fire" or the fucking worst "No reaction abilities." So no counter attack when attacked. And you dont learn these rules until the fight starts and they can invalidate an entire party build. So fucking annoying. The punishments can be minor but even up to your units going to jail and being unavailable. And the Judge taking up a spot on the field is also an issue. I remember times where I would miss out on an opportunity because the fucking Judge was in the God damn way. So far in A2 the Judge isn't on the field and the punishment for breaking the law is just losing out on bonus rewards for the fight.
