PS4 Megathread goes fourth.

I picked up a PS4 Pro recently after having not owned a playstation since the PS2. I bought all the PS exclusives I missed out on that interested me which were Last of Us 1 + 2, God Of War, Uncharted 4 + Lost Legacy, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima. Thus far I have got through:

God of War: Absolutely fantastic game, looks + plays amazing. I used to play the first few games back on the PS2 so not a completely new experience to me but quite different from those days. I skipped all the side content as I had a lot of games to get through but will probably go back and play through this again on PS5 before the sequel is out and get through the stuff I missed. Best game I've played in a long long time.

Last of Us: I'd watched somebody I lived with play through this back when it was first out so I knew the ending already, still a great game and holds up extremely well in 2021.

Uncharted 4: I cannot warm to this at all, it feels like an interactive movie rather than a game most of the time (a cheesy over the top summer blockbuster that I wouldn't pay to watch). I'm just over halfway through and will probably finish this but I don't get the hype. You spend most of your time either watching cutscenes, climbing on various things or involved in ridiculous over the top action sequences. It immediately reminded me of the recent Tomb Raider games when I played the first 30 minutes and I much preferred those. It does look great though and everytime I come back to it after playing something else I immediately notice the voice acting is a cut above any other game I've been playing.

Horizon Zero Dawn: I've just finished this and have started the DLC. Fairly decent game, a solid 8/10 from me. I had been told prior by someone that it was amazing so maybe that got my expectations up a little bit. The storyline is its strong point, they manage to make a world of robotic dinosaurs seem at least somewhat plausible in the end.

I'm trying to source a PS5 (with the rest of the world) to play the rest of the games I've bought on, the PS4 Pro is ridiculously noisy and somewhat ruins the experience.

Hi all,

I woke up this morning to emails saying the wallet on my PlayStation had been topped and there were four transactions of €25 each. There was another email saying the email address on my account had been changed. None of this was me. I contacted my bank to cancel my care straight away. It’s just the €100 that went out in the end.

I tried contacting Sony to report the fraud, get my email changed so I can access my account, and look for a refund. I was only able to talk to a robot and they said they won’t have actual operators available until Monday. Surely there is some number I can call on a Sunday?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This has never happened to me before so I’m fairly stressed over it.

Thanks

You might have luck with their Twitter account. Once everything is secured again, set up two-step security ASAP if you haven't already, and unlink any cards to the Sony account. I only use pre-paid disposable cards and vouchers to top up these days.

Cheapest place to get a ps4 controller?

Was given with Plus so likely won't be able to add it to the account on a permanent basis the same way we can't buy games if we have them through plus. Just in case you want to play after your Plus expires.
Or has that changed?

Well I did just buy Moss, so makes sense it would be given away

We thank you for your sacrifice

Who wants to return the favour by buying Beat Saber so it might get a discount, at least? :pac:

It's still crazy that Beat Saber has never got a discount since it's release. Facebook do own the developer though

Big bump

Anyone know of a place in Limerick that does PS4 Slim drive repairs? It won't pull in the disc. I did open it up and checked, and a spring was loose so I put it back, but still nothing.

Ratchet & Clank remake
