yeah, it makes sense to me now. i didn't realize mS's share in the mobile industry was that insignificant. I assumed the ps app's absence on windows phone was a case of the 'jerkface' thing you were explaining about.

what do you mean by mS becoming platform agnostic? are all those applications you mentioned exclusive to their mobiles? so minecraft on non-mS mobiles are no longer operable?

well, agnostic sort of means "neutral."

so MS being platform agnostic prob means that their apps work on other platforms like iOS and Android instead of being exclusive to Windows phones.

minecraft started out multiplat though. if mS is moving to be agnostic now, that would mean in between its acquisition and its time as a free agent, minecraft has been exclusive to windows phones for some time.

hmm.....not sure I follow what you're saying.........

Minecraft has never been exclusive to Windows phones........

and I believe they've said they have no intention of making Minecraft exclusive to Windows.

as for other apps, like Office, MS recently released it on iOS ( and I'm guessing Android ).

so, MS is moving in the direction of letting other platforms use its software and apps.

Platform agnostic means that Microsoft doesn't care about which platforms their services are on anymore. While the Microsoft of Steve Ballmer cared about the best versions of products such as Skype, Office, etc. were on Windows platforms, the Microsoft of Satya Nadella has taken the completely opposite direction. The current Microsoft is making sure that all versions of Skype, Office, and whatnot are high quality products regardless of platform they are on, whether it be Windows, iOS/OS X, Android/Chrome, etc. It's no longer about ensuring that Windows users getting the best experience, it's all about getting high quality services to EVERYONE in a world that is being less dominated by the PC platform. Hell, when I get my Nexus 6 phone when they eventually release it on Verizon, I plan on loading it up with a bunch of Microsoft products.

Hence why even though Microsoft bought Mojang and the Minecraft IP along with incorporating them into the Microsoft Studios banner, Microsoft will continue supporting Minecraft on the PlayStation, Android, and OS X/iOS platforms.

I want to get a PS4 soon but I hate it comes with "The Last of Us" remastered.. I played that game on PS3 and have no intention playing it again. I guess it's better than nothing. Does anyone know if it's a digital copy or a disc version? Wondering if I could at least sell it. Is there any word on any upcoming bundles? I know there is a Bloodborne bundle overseas but not in North America? Anyone have any idea?

Have you been keeping up with the PS+ freebies and claiming them from the online store? If you have you could still just get a PS4 by itself with some recent, not to mention decent, free games like inFamous First Light and Injustice. And most launch or early titles should be pretty cheap by now. I don't know of any new bundles, maybe a Batman Arkham Knight one might come?

i hate that first light doesn't give you a trophy for beating the game on expert.
 
Heh, isn't there a platinum trophy available still, though? :hehe: Usually you hear the opposite and hearing people saying "Ugghh, I have to beat the game on Expert to go towards 100%".

ya, exactly. and since I did complete it on expert, I feel cheated on the fact that I didn't need to to get the platinum. so eff that platinim I'm not gonna try to get it :o

Well, you should have looked at the requirements :funny:. I'm definitely a trophy ****e (not like before because I don't have as much time anymore) but if I decide to get a plat for a game after my first playthrough of it, I look at the list on my profile on places like psntrophyleaders.com and the roadmap from sites like ps3trophies.org. Those should give you an idea of what you're getting into.

I did, and I didn't see a requirement for beating the game on the hardest difficulty, but I was hoping I was mistaken :o I mean, I am satisfied with the fact that I was able to beat it that way, but there's just no trophy to showcase that I did :csad:

yeah that's what I was gonna do for yakuza 3. but I never got to playing any of my old games since upgrading. there's only 1 platinum trophy i've got in my gallery and that's Me2. I'm very proud of it.

In the end though, the only trophy that matters is that shiny

I'm quite proud of that one too, I love that series to death so I had no choice but to plat them all. I'm more proud of Max Payne 3 however, but ME2 on Insanity was pretty nuts, but also very satisfying.

No I haven't actually, I didn't want a PS4 until like a couple of weeks ago. With Batman, Bloodborne and Mortal Kombat X all coming.. figured it was time. Can I get free games if I get PS+?? You're right too.. I could sell the digital copy of Last of Us on eBay! I really want to try "Evolve" has anyone played that? I think that would be at the top of my list! But if there is freebies for getting PS+ you bet i'll sign up.

Edit: Just saw this deal on IGN btw, looks good for someone getting themselves a PS4, $360 for a PS4 with Six Months of PS Plus and One Game Download

You always have access to free games when on + since they have the Instant Game Collection going on every month I believe. Since you don't have a PS console at the moment it'd be weird to buy your membership without a system. I think I was mainly speaking for myself because I still had my PS3 and PS+ before I got my PS4, but I was still getting the free games from the webstore before I finally got my system.

Unless you purchase the free game when it's available you may miss out on the game once the deal is over. That's why even if I don't have the space to download all these free games on PS3/4/Vita I still purchase them so they're on my account and I can download them when I want.
:shock

and I thought havok was hardcore!!!
Compared to some players I've come across I'm just an amateur still ha. I'm not as hardcore as I used to be though. I definitely still enjoy going for a platinum whenever I can. I'm betting The Order will be my next since it doesn't sound too hard and I'm enjoying it enough as well.

respect :cool:

Me2 was a plat I strived for after realizing how much of the game I completed. The next closest one I have is TTTHD but some of the trophies are really hard to get unless you're playing with a friend.
