Broforce PS4 is fucking terrible

This was my first introduction into the PSN Plus experience and I have no intention of supporting it. I'll happily pay £5 a month just for Street Fighter multiplayer. Not filling my hard drive with this rubbish.
(Though it did just receive an update as of 58 minutes ago)
 
I know they don't actually have anything to do with this game being a broken mess, but I still thought it was funny when Shu responded to my tweet...

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! That Timecop mission I talked about that didn't work actually DOES work, you just gotta wait TWO FUCKING MINUTES for it to load for some reason?????? Slightly better then it crashing the game!

I played that level in co-op with a friend once.

The FPS tanked to single digits at times, I swear.

lol that's cheeky

Someone should go ahead and enter the contest with a montage that consists only of bugs and stuttering/frame dropping gameplay.
 
It feels like the patch did nothing =(
framerate is still unacceptable, the movement issue still exists.

No other game crashed more often for me than broforce.... Seriously

My friend and I also have massive problems joining each other's games.
 
The patch still has the issue of you not moving to begin with (its not as long as the last time I remember playing it) and the fps seems a wee bit better but still pretty awful
 
Yeah as others said, the patch did nothing, the game is still a mess to play. I'll wait for a fix before returning to it.
 
Ok I did the aforementioned Timecop challenge level where shit is exploding constantly while you are moving in slow time.

10 fps, tops

Oh, I had a video of that one too.

In case someone watches without knowing his ability does slow down time, but the framerate is dying on top of it. I also had a weird ass glitch on this stage where the scripted explosions happened from right to left and made the level impossible.

This game is weird.

Dont be so stubborn dude. GalakZ is great. Helldivers is great. Grim Fandango is great.

Just because WE (not sony) picked a shitty game doesnt mean it represents the quality of all ps+ games, man!
 
Alright, the games performance certainly does keep getting worse as you progress. The xenomorph levels were bad, but I'm on the third set of levels and I don't know if this is playable now.
 
The bugs are on the pc port guys, it carried over.

AAC was the choice but as community votes go, the best choices are never made.

Okay, I did not realize this...
All I heard from people who played the PC version (in this thread) is that it ran flawlessly.
 
In my experience, the PC version runs on a toaster.

The bug where you lose input at the beginning of a level is not present?

Looks like it is Abstraction Games that did handle the port. Strange, I always thought they were one of the more competent port studios.

Fortunately they do have a patch plan in the works.

Okay this is good to hear. They have a very good track record with releasing quality ports on PS4/Vita. My mind is at ease.

Kinda unexpected, the Vita Hotline Miami port is arguably one of the best versions of the game.

Could you please elaborate? Your meme response isn't really helping.

Sorry, didn't mean to just blast off a meme response. I never once experienced slowdown or input bugs on my aging rig, and don't remember seeing others with that issue, and I've had it since it first released on early access.

Thanks! Much appreciated.
 
This port is a joke. Online co-op is fucked, people skip all over, the frame-rate is trash. Glad this was PS+ because it's shit quite frankly.
 
This sucks, I hadn't heard about this. I loved it on PC when it was EA, and was looking forward to seeing hat was new. Guess I'll do that on PC instead.
 
As someone who loves action movies, I still really like the game. All the little references and every time I unlock someone new I go "Fuck yeah!"

But I still wouldn't recommend even playing the game as it is right now.
 
It looks like everyone on NeoGAF voted for AAC save for a few. Just goes to show how small of an impact NeoGAF has in the larger scale :(

So one bad game comes out and you write off all the others? That's an odd stance to take.

That's a real shame because there have been some absolute gems that came out of PS+

Resogun and Rocket League are simply two of the best games of this entire generation so far

YouTube was always going to show the winner, just like it did before.

12 million top 5 combined views for Broforce.
4.9 million top 5 combined views Action Henk.
788,000 top 5 combined for Android Assault Cactus.

You are that kid that tried something once and if they didn't like it never tried it again even into adult life, right?

Don't let one game turn you off from all of the PS+ games.

It's funny how this lined up to almost the exact way the votes played out.

I love Broforce and was looking forward to playing it co-op with my housemates on PS4, hopefully they can fix some of these issues asap.
 
I missed the voting apparently, but Ive enjoyed Bro force playing couch co-op so far. I haven't played online but experienced the framerate drops and the pause at the the start of a level. I found that the game was not only addictive, but really funny as well. They absolutely need to fix these issues, but aside from that it's been great.

Now, I heard so much about AAC on here, I bought it. Granted, maybe I haven't played enough yet, but so far it doesn't seem as great as people are clamoring, and I'm worried I'll regret it. It runs fine and has challenging arcade gameplay, but besides that it hasn't wowed me or my friends very much. My opinion may change, I paid for it, so you can bet I'll get my money's worth. Basically, don't fail me GAF.

TL:DR

Didn't vote, enjoying free game, has technical issues, bought AAC, not great first impressions, but want to be optimistic.
 
Damn. I was looking forward to playing it o PS4. I will wait for a patch I guess. Don't want to frustrate myself trying to play a broken mess.
