Pool Bad as EA always down and "fixing things"



you need to chill dude, no matter the console its gonna have down time now and again, This was just the social aspect of it that was down you can still play online, and invite friends via the ingame friends list, so chill your beans son


Yeah but PSN are down all the time thats the problem.


Well I have a PS4 and its rarely down for me, yeah sure we have some issues but on the whole its a better machine than an xbox one, I do own both and as much as 90% of people are fanboys I admit both consoles have their pros and cons. I can deal with the occasional downtime in exchange for a superior machine. Unless you literally are relying on the PSN as a lifeline then having an hour or 2 offline every couple of weeks will not kill you, just play some singleplayer or just get out the house for a bit, watch a moveie.


2 hours every couple of weeks is bad and the worst thing is sometimes on PSN its not 2 hours its days!


well I cant comment pre PS4 cause I didn't own a ps3 I had always owned Xbox then 360, but since ive had the PS4 the longest it was down for was when they had all those issues with Lizard squad or what ever they were called and with those issues Microsoft had it just as bad as sony did. Like people have said its a couple of hours. At the end of the day if people are hardcore Microsoft fanboys they aren't gonna agree, just the sad fact people feel the need to make comments like "glad I own an xbox" and "that's why you own an xbox" makes me feel a little sorry for them.


Its not about being a Microsoft fan though. Plus everything you say just makes you look like a "hardcore" PS fanboy. Also when all the Lizard squad issues happened Xbox wasnt even fully down I was still playing Online and stuff but PS was fully down I am pretty sure for a day or more, Cant exactly remember.

Just seen a tweet by Lizardsquad. Hoping they don't **** with PSN anytime soon.

All consoles have these problems, PlayStation network messes up a lot less than it used to though.

NissanPosted:

The PS4 console is better when it comes to hardware, but the servers and security is questionable. They need to work on that since they're starting to focus on streaming games more with PS Now and with the technology they purchased from OnLive. Half of the consoles features will be unusable if not connected online. Same goes for Xbox.

Haven't used either of my consoles in months, but I keep hearing issues like this, it's a joke. People pay good money and shit like this goes wrong all the time. Not good.
