Guys, I figured it out. I figured out how to record form my PS4. I can't wait to start playing some of those games now. Apparently you have go in to your settings and turn off HDCP. I was under the impression that an update turned that off automatically and you had to turn it on if you wanted to. Apparently the reverse was true. Any suggestion of what I play first?
Games:
Horizon Zero Dawn
Ratchet & Clank
Bloodborne
Grand Kingdom
I am Setsuna
Mighty No. 9
Rime

New Purchase - PS4 Pro
Guess what?
Yes, I know I probably don't need a new gaming system but I couldn't resist and I'll tell you why.
I have a list of games I'd like to own for the PS4 and two of them came up as free games this month for Playstation Plus members. Well, lucky me I'm one of them.
Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank were/are the free games for the month of March 2018. If I wanted to save some money, now would be the time to get a PS4 . . . except that getting one isn't actually saving me money since I would still have to pay money for the console. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity especially since I got a nice boost in my paycheck with our year end bonuses coming through.
I got the PS4 Pro (1TB) and immediately downloaded those 2 games. I also picked up some free to play games as well just so I'd have something else to play. One of those games is Gems of War.
I have Gems for the XBox One and love it. I'm about level 167 or so and I've put a large amount of hours in to that game. Unfortunately I realized around level 80 or so that I did some things in the beginning that have hurt me later on in the game. At the time I didn't know better because I didn't fully grasp how things would play out. Once I did, I felt like a fool. With getting the game again on PS4 I now have the chance to start over and take what I've learned and maybe be better at training, or faster at leveling up. So now I'm playing the same game on two different consoles.
Of course just having have these few games wasn't enough. Could I call myself a real gamer if I only have a paltry list of games for the latest system? Not in my mind anyway. I've since been on a hunt to find bargins and great deals on other PS4 games. And my wish list is still growing.
I've picked up I am Setsuna and Horizon Zero Dawn. I'm so excited about both of them. I can't wait to play them. The question now is: Which game do I play first? I've got so many games on the go right now it's hard to figure out what to play out of those without adding another one to the mix. But whatever game I pick I was going to record it and post to YouTube. Except things haven't gone has planned.
Once I got the PS4 hooked up and downloaded an update, I turned on the Elgato and that's when things started to go wrong. Even though one of the systems the Elgato is natively set to record from is the PS4 it wasn't recognizing the signal and freaked out like it does with my PS3. (I still haven't figured out why I can no longer record from my PS3. I've been able to do it in the past but it won't work any longer no matter what I've tried.)
Once I gave up on that and just started to play and enjoy my new system the power started freaking out and it would turn off and back on again randomly. The thing with Gems of War is that if you are in a battle and lose connection (either you internet goes out or your power) you get "credit" for losing the battle and a loss goes on your record. After this happened about 3 times I just turned everything off and went to bed.
I haven't given up yet on recording from my PS4, I just have to figure out what went wrong. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to play from it again either. Like I said, I've got a lot of games going at once. More on that in a later post.
So if you've got a PS4 system and would like to recommend games to me to play/buy I'd love to see them in the comments below. I've ignored the PS4 games for so long because I knew I wouldn't be able to afford the system for awhile so I really don't know what good games are out there; older ones or newer ones. I could really use some suggestions. Any games. Any genres. I'm open to trying new things.
