It hasn't worked well for me. I just found a long ethernet cable in my cables box so I'm going to try it again with the PS4 hooked up wired. Currently I'm only using it to check out PSN and manage downloads/updates. I haven't gotten it working stable enough to play any full game. I have a great router but my internet can be sketchy at times since it's split for the whole 12 unit building.

Really? Then that's even more troubling since I know my router can handle it. Are there any settings on the Vita I can check? It will almost always connect right away but it gets blocky/laggy real quick.

You can get ACIV for $40 digitally...

Buy the PS3 version for $30, then pay the $10 upgrade fee to PS4. Pretty good deal.

Vita has worked fine for me, with the PS4 over wireless.

I just synced my Vita up with it over the weekend and have only played twice. First time was flawless for about a 2-hour play session. Tried it again last night and there were a couple times it got laggy then dropped the connection, but reconnected immediately after. Overall, pretty happy with it initially.

Well I got my second PS4 platinum this morning when I finished off Knack.
I had to do nearly 5 playthroughs of the game in order to do it, as the collectables system in this game kinda sucks. But once you do collect everything, especially Diamond Knack, the game becomes far easier.

I got Knack from Gamefly. It isn't anywhere near as bad as the reviews made it out to be. Had I kept my order for it in the Amazon B2G1 deal I wouldn't have regretted it. The game is more of a strategy platformer than anything. There is a lot of strategy involved in terms of how to get through it and how to kill the enemies without dying. You die very quickly in this game, so that is part of the main part of the game.
I bet a LOT of parents are going to be in for a shock when they give this game to their little small kids and they end up getting pissed off at it because of the difficulty. It reminds me almost of an old school NES game or something with the entire trial and error thing.

It also helps to have friends that played the game, as when you find a treasure chest you not only get 1 choice, you get to choose between what you were given, and what your friends got from that chest as well. Also, never pass on a diamond until you get 10 and unlock Diamond Knack.

I'm getting Knack after you've all played it, so I can pick and choose amongst all your sweet loot.

Still haven't opened up Knack....and hardly touched BF4 (which I regret) with Killzone about 1/3 done. But it's Warframe that I've spent more time than ever. I was a little skeptical at first with the controls but as you progress you become more comfortable. It's reward system with almost endless possibilities drives the game but playing online randoms have been a pleasant surprise...be it alone, one, two or three it's been fun. I'll probably give Knack a go this weekend...when I played the demo at BB before the release I was impressed with it just for the 5-7 minutes of playing.

Well, I experienced my first system error. I got kicked out of AC4 with an error message in the middle of a mission. It was already long past my bedtime so I just turned off the system and went to bed.

I don't know about strategy as much as it is dumb luck sometimes. Other than that, it becomes a matter of managing your super moves and using them at the right time. It also helps to get the harvester built as soon as possible, as it's the most useful gadget in the game.
It also helps to have friends that played the game, as when you find a treasure chest you not only get 1 choice, you get to choose between what you were given, and what your friends got from that chest as well. Also, never pass on a diamond until you get 10 and unlock Diamond Knack.

I dunno, concerning the strategy vs. dumb luck thing. The enemies seem to have set attacks so it looks to me like as long as I learn what's going on I should be fine. Then again, I'm only up to 3-1 so maybe things change a lot from there, I'm not sure.
I will say this though. I despise the enemies with projectiles. They can screw right off out of here.

Well, I figured out what was causing this and the damage was more extensive than I thought. We have this stupid automatic air fragrance dispenser set up in our living room and it sprays every so often. The fragrance/oil in it has carried through the air and across the room and has landed on my the plastic borders of my flat screen and its base, my PS4 controllers, my PS Eye and even on part of my PS4. It has either eaten through the laminate on my controllers or made these nasty looking spots on the plastic on my tv and other accessories. I am a little bit more than pissed off about this.

A few people have had some issues with the rubber compound on the sticks, but otherwise, the controllers seem to be extremely well made. I did "condition" the rubber on one of mine with a bit of oil, as it seemed a little dry, but otherwise, no issues. I thought the light was going to bother me, but I only see it on my screen when it goes completely black, so it's not a problem. I still think it looks kind of stupid and really only serves a purpose if you have the camera, but it's not nearly as big a bother as I thought it would be.
The DS4 is easily my favorite controller ever, beating out the Wavebird by virtue of better shape, much better triggers, the textured grip on the handles and a better d-pad.

It pisses me off that they sell chemical fragrances that shoot through the air and are designed for use indoors that can damage things in your house.

I have Air Wick in the house, but not in the living room. I'll keep an eye on my controllers.
