I recently upgraded from a PS3 to a PS4, because there was this hot deal where I got a PS4 with an extra controller and 3 games for the price of a base PS4. The 3 games I got were Destiny, GTA V and FIFA 15. Now I know Destiny is a crappy game, but I needed to get a shooter meanwhile I wait for BF4 Premium, and I wasn't even going to play it that much, just focusing on GTA V (selling FIFA 15 for Shadow of Mordor).
My first problem was that I bought it from a reputable store (the only authorised Sony retailer here) and yet I got the Asian one (I live in the Middle East currently) which has the X and O buttons reversed. My friends who got it from other stores don't have this problem, and I'm pretty used to X being the proceed button on the PS3. I took every damn precaution and yet ended up getting the wrong console, and there is no workaround at all to this problem, but I guess I'll get used to it.
Everyone praised GTA V to no end for its better graphics and the first person mode, but it's almost a joke. The screen looks around 20% neater because of the slightly better textures and 1080p, but otherwise there really is no point moving up from the PS3. First person mode is as bad the as first person mod for Dark Souls 2. it doesn't feel at all like an FPS. I thought maybe the first-person thing would be an incentive to play through the stellar story again, but I just can't play the same game from scratch with a gimmick mode. The pop-in is still bad, and distant objects still look horrible. How is this even a remaster?
Sony made me pay for PS Plus, and yet I get a service worse off than the free PS3 one. Download speeds are horrible. I could get a 2 GB file done on my PS3 within an hour (40 MBps internet) but a 200 MB file took me 30 minutes to get done, with the download stopping for a few seconds after every 5 MB downloaded. PS Network is more down than up these days. I just feel like plugging my PS3 back in and continuing Ni No Kuni and Uncharted 3.
Bought the PS4 for Bloodborne and The Witcher 3. How do you people even make the most out of this console?
