olimoo101 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 For me it's all about them custom friends lists. I'll accept friend requests from anyone now ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Making trophies be black again would be cool, did they change it to trophy earned, then the trophy's name, or did it used to be the trophy's name with the "trophy earned" bit on the lower half? Either way, I liked the old way a little more and hopefully this does it. Doesn't bother me at all if it doesn't though. Making a family account is cool. I want to make one for my kid now, but like, first of all, she's 19 months, and second, well, I'm not dumb enough to leave my card deets on the account so she can have fun trying to buy shit without it. I think sending and receiving music is cool, but it's not really too useful since the PS4 can't save music locally, and the phone app is terrible so I'll be damned if I'll download that to send songs.

itachi-destroyer Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The weakest major update released on PS4 to this day imo. I don't care about most (if not all) of their new features. Is it that difficult to implement notifications removal ? That would be really cool to be able to clean notifications that are 2 years old 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edunstar84 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm at odds here. I think I've gotten used to the white notifications. I got my PS4 in June, well after the color change. I'll try it out to see if I like it. Not sure about the other changes. I don't play my Ps4 that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimydawg___ Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I forgot most folks didn't have access to this at first. This is 50/50 to me. This update depends on the person. So, I'd imagine most folks here probably won't care about this update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimClover Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Not excited about this update at all. Notification color is cool, but meh. The parental settings are useful I suppose but it won't affect me. All in all pretty disappointed for a 5.0 update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saionji Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I actually like quite a few options in this update... notification colour black is cool, you can finally check the hour by just pressing quick menu instead of going to console menu, you can also see notifications in quick menu and also I like the option to send music via pm.

Caesar Clown Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Ok, how do you turn off the automatic game updating? It was off before this update, but after it updated to 5.0, a list of game updates started to pop up. I thought it was under Settings>System>Automatic Downloads, but everything is unchecked. Edit: Problem is fixed, seems like a bug that occurred right after the update. After turning the console off and back on, it try to update any games.
