Newbie question

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

its really up to you alin sa dalawang yan ang papatusin mo pero siguraduhin mo na pwede i-test bago mo bilhin. Mahirap na kasi second hand yang mga yan, hindi mo alam baka may tama na - baka wala pang isang buwan topakin bigla so gagasta ka pa ng extra para lang mapaayos. Wala ka pa habol dun sa nagbenta pag gusto mo ibalik unless kakilala mo at tiwala ka ng husto dun sa kukuhanan mo.

Kung ako sayo, pag ipunan mo na lang ang brand new na unit tapos sa pasko ka bumili para medyo mababa na price by that time. Maigi kasi kumuha ng brand new kasi bukod sa may warranty din, may habol ka pa na pwede mo ibalik sa store para mapapalitan.

Salamat boss.. both naman pwede itest.. pero clarify ko lang if yung jap version po ba na ps4 eh english menu naman and wala naman region lock yung ps4 di ba? Tapos pano ko kaya malalaman kung affected ng auto eject issue?

sa pagkakaalam ko (and i could be wrong on this) region locked lang naman eh yung mga dlc, yung physical games at units are region free by itself. As for the auto eject issue, malalaman mo lang naman pag nangyari na syo. I doubt the seller (kung hindi mo kakilala) would disclose that beforehand when selling their consoles.

Magandang gawin mo is i-clarify mo dun sa mga pagbibilhan mo, they should explain it to you better. Dun mo rin mahuhuli kung reliable yung seller kung maayos sumagot sa mga tanong mo, pag hindi nila masagot ng matino ang mga tanong mo then mag back out ka na. Chances are, hindi mo mahahabol yan pag nagka problema dun sa unit na binili mo. :sweat:

Thank you sir. Ayoko ko din po kasi bumili ng brandnew kasi madali rin ako magsawa. Usually di rin tumatagal mga consoles sakin. From ps2 to ps3 to xbox360 and even sa wii and 3ds, lahat yan dumadaan lang. May mga games lang ako na gustong malaro and pakatapos benta na uli. Nagagalit na nga sa akin asawa ko, haha.. kaya okay na sa akin 2nd hna saand pero yung risk na sira mabili ko, yun lang ang problema.. ok din sana yung 9k lang problema lang talaga wala warranty. Yung 18k naman may warranty kaya lang konti na lang pwede na bnew..

Baka mas madali ka magsawa kasi ang mahirap sa ps4 is yung reliance sa ps plus para lang makapag online play tapos medyo malalaki rin ang mga patches at game install so baka mainis ka dahil baka mabitin ka sa 500gb na capacity ng unit mo. Other than that, ok naman - dumadami na nga yung mga magagandang titles sa ps4.

Kung sa tingin mo hindi rin pala magtatagal ang ps4 syo, medyo pag isipan mo muna maigi bago ka maglabas ng pera - mura nga bili mo sa console pero pano yung games? medyo mahal din ang bala nyan. Di pa kasama dyan yung hassle na pag bigla nasira yan gagasta ka pa ng extra.

Sir, I'm planning to buy a new PS4 Slim this coming Christmas holiday. 500gb hard drive is enough for the games like GTA5, Uncharted 4, Watch Dogs 2, The Division, ultimately ninja storm 4?

if you're not going to keep all the application data for those games at the same time then yes, sapat na yung 500GB. I usually just play and focus on one game at a time and when I'm done with it I just delete its application data. That removes not only the game application itself but the necessary updates included with it na rin, and maiiwan lang is yung save file or mga captured pics/images for a particular game.

Personally, I leave the save files in the console tapos back up na rin sa USB mismo para sigurado. Hindi lang kasi yung file size ng base game ang magiging problema mo, pati mga update patches and even the dlc's - combining them with the actual game files can eat up space real quick.

Sir, thanks for replying on that matter.
Another thing sir it is possible to save the whole game/data etc., from the physical game/disc to PS4 like the digital games that can be downloaded/buy from PlayStation store. Or every time I play I need to insert the game/disc?

^For the PS4, part or most of the game is saved on the harddrive but the disc is still needed to play the actual game, you can't have the whole game backed up on the drive and play without the disc. It's for security reason since if possible yung sinasabi mo eh 1 disc could be played by millions of people and Sony and game developers would lose billions.

XBOX 360? It's probably been hacked. If not, it might have a machine loader inside..maybe, if the system kasing laki ng Jukebox, PPS is all about legit and supporting the system and the devs so we don't condone hacks.

500 GB though I don't look at the storage that much kasi binubura ko naman yung installed games pag tapos ko na laruin, plus, I prefer hard copies ng games kesa sa Digital so mostly updates lang dinadownload ko. Depende yung size ng storage din kung ano mostly preferred source mo for the games, discs or downloads.

Cons of using discs though is that mas nagagamit yung lens ng Blu-ray reader so baka yun una masisira sa unit. Be warned. :D

Ang pinaka importante eh ma-verify mo na legit yun seller (kung shipping).

atleast pag naka physical games ka meron pang resell value at pwede mo pa madala anywhere yung bala. Ang problema mo sa digital eh mag download ka pa tapos pano pa pag nag fail ang HD mo burado ngayon lahat yan. Dito pa naman sa pinas madalas ang power fluctuation so konting patay sindi lang ng kuryente pwede madale HD mo - either in the middle of playing or kahit naka rest mode pa yan.

Also, if you're set on getting a ps4, i suggest you go legit all the way and ihanda mo na sarili mo sa gagastahin mo like sa mga games at ps+.

Well nakapagtanong narin ako ng price ng PS4 Slim including the bundle from different store like Game one Gadget, datablitz and Sony Glorttieta hindi naman nagkakalayo yung presyo nila more or less 1k ang difference. So I decided na sa Sony nalang ako bibili para sigurado. Sa games walang problema sakin kahit mahal basta gusto ko yung games., actually meron akong original ps vita mahal din yung mga games kaya lang ang problema lack of games like NBA, Uncharted and GTA 5 those game I like most.

Anyway sir about sa PlayStation plus âž• it is necessary to have it I'm not after sa multi-player

No. Optional ang ps+ pero required yun for online playing. Kung pure offline playing ka ok lang wag mag ps+. Pero yung mga pag download ng game updates/patches/dlc need mo lang mag login sa psn mo.

PS plus subscription, and any PSN account will work for PS3, PS4, and PSV. No need for different accounts per unit.

May different region ang accounts and PS Plus Subscription nga lang, pumili ka kung san gusto mo na account, Example is US then ang bilhin mo eh yung pagUS na PS Plus subscription.
