Disc damaged."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I was hoping to have a good review of this game. I popped it in, and the game showed up in my library. Then something else popped up; a humongous nearly 18GB update. I decided not to wait that long and just do the review&#8230; but it freezes. I can&#8217;t get back into the menu (the Playstation button). I had to reach in the back and unplug it, just to gain access.<br \/>\nAfter going through some &#8220;You didn&#8217;t shut down the PS4 correctly. We will now force you to wait as we do really long scans&#8221; screens, I was forced to wait for the 3 hour update to download.<\/p>\n<p>When it finally did, I tried again; thinking surely the game will work. &#8230; It freezes up AGAIN. Yet this time I was able to go back to the menu. A bit later, a window pops up saying how it cannot read the disc; saying it&#8217;s damaged and\/or scratched.<br \/>\nGamefly didn&#8217;t even bother checking to see if the game would work on their end. So I reported the issue to them, saying I want a replacement (instead of &#8220;Fuck it! Just give me the next game&#8230;&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>I also sent an email to Gamefly (they have a chat support, but it closes at 6pm EST). I told them what happened. I also tried to clean the disc with a piece of toilet paper. I feel I made it worse by doing that, though. :\/<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve also sealed up the faulty disc, as instructed by them. It&#8217;ll go out with the mail tomorrow. Also tomorrow, I&#8217;ll be reviewing the second free PS+ game for the PS4. I told them to send a replacement. If this is <em>also<\/em> damaged&#8230; I might consider removing my Gamefly subscription. Second game I get from them and I&#8217;m already having problems, and it&#8217;s not even the 16th yet (when my free trial ends).<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nEDIT: A replacement copy is on its way in three days from now (December 8th, when it was shipped). They also responded to my email. Though I don&#8217;t particularly like their fake, generated response (claiming &#8220;we know your game time is important&#8221;&#8230; who are you bullshitting?), they also told me &#8220;we check every game, but it looks like that one slipped by&#8221;.. the same exact excuse I knew I was going to get.<\/p>\n<p>But I shouldn&#8217;t bash them <em>too<\/em> much. This only happened <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">once<\/span>. Though I <em>would<\/em> like to know how frequently it happens.<br \/>\nAlso, I wish it didn&#8217;t take so damn long to get to me. Netflix, I got the movie a day after it shipped! Why can&#8217;t they do that?! What&#8217;s even more ironic, is they have this &#8220;FastReturns&#8221; thing for certain games, where they will give you your next game quicker after you send back your last one(which was the first game I sent back). Yet I still had to wait three days to get it.. only for the CD to not work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was hoping to have a good review of this game.
