You know Uncharted 1-3 came before TLOU?

No!? You don't say!?

We're referring to the environmental storytelling in Uncharted 4.

That career mode story in NBA 2K16 was awful. But gameplay is ok and I am reminded why I don't like basketball games. Defending is near impossible for novice players and career mode is stuck at one level. I did see online that many more experienced players complained about that too as they are at the opposite end of the spectrum and felt it was too easy.

NBA 2K16 is taking bloody ages to install. Anyone else have that issue? At the moment all I can do is play an exhibition game with an excruciating hip hop soundtrack booming over the entire thing.

I started the download at roughly 5pm on Tuesday. She's still going.

Should've been done well before now for me. In fact it should've been done yesterday morning.

It's made me cement a decision - from now on, if I want to buy a game on PS4, I'm just going to buy it physically, especially if it's more than 20GB. Three days is mental time to be waiting.

You know, it's kind of funny. Microsoft and Sony were giving it large when they said that we can play our games while we install/download them. They weren't lying, we can play them after a small percentage is downloaded, but for sports games forget about it. Enjoy playing quick game over and over. I'm getting more and more bitter about this......... I should have a cup of tea.

At full speed I can download 3GB in one hour.

But on PS4 it takes about an hour for me to download 1gb. And that's on a good day. Most of the time it goes less than that.

So 46GB, yeah, about 46 hours with a few pauses here and there to let other people use the internet. Pain in the hole.

Should have taken 12 hours, I could've been playing it when I woke up yesterday. I sound over entitled, I've about 300 games to keep me occupied, but damn it I want to play some B-Ball :P

I'm not sure exactly what speeds I normally reach but I purchase most of my games digitally and I've never had any problems or felt that it was taking too long. 46GB is a whopper of a download, but still...

(I keep editing my replies because I keep thinking of more sh*t to ramble about on top of what I already said. Forgive me )

It's such a pain. And I always forget, too! I bought The Witcher 3 a few months ago and I couldn't play it until two days later. I wish I could use the ethernet cable, because it does max out my speed, but the router has to be in the centre of the house for everyone else to use. I would admit that it's only because I'm too far away, and it's true, but every other device I have has no problem using the full download speed - it's only my PS4 that drops

Homeplugs might be an option?

Never knew about the partial download thing! Be mighty for Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne, rest of the game will be finished by the time you beat the first boss :pac:

Would they be compatible with a Sky Hub? Because so far the Sky hub barely lets you do anything with it. I can't even set a different DNS server to it, it's so limited.

I've finally reached "1 hour remaining" on NBA.. Watch this, now. I'll turn this game on tomorrow, play two or three matches, then go and play something else. Since I've a pretty low attention span it takes a lot to keep me cemented to one game. Ah I'm a mess of a human.

Goodnight all! :pac:

Dude,

Homeplugs will work a treat, I bought them yesterday and they made a huge difference to the playstation.

I may consider a purchase so. Thanks!

Don't think many here actually use the consoles' PSN store but the second season of Powers is up on PSN for plus and it works here.

Yeah surprised it's working in Europe, first season was only free in the US. Much better than season 1

SharpCoder wrote: »

not much point if season 1 is still not available.

Indeed. I saw season 2 was there but no season 1 so why bother.

On the main ps4 main, highlight nba and press options button and go to information. That will show of the game is still actually downloading. I think once 15gbs ate done, you can play that one game but can't play the rest until another 35gbs are downloaded.
