Am i the only bothered by the '9' reasons they are always 10!!! /jk

Anyway as our friends from Square Enix said "please be excited" :p

abzdine4707d ago

2,8kg power brick included!!
Sony magic

irepbtown4707d ago (Edited 4707d ago )

I always had a problem with not being able to charge the controller while the PS3 being off.
Finally that's sorted with the 'sleep mode' (unless I'm mistaken).

Transporter474707d ago

I charge mine while im watching netflix or plug in my usb cable while i play which is around 6ft long... never was a problem at least to me.

Ozmoses4707d ago

it takes me forever to figure out what I want to play..

So I just plug in my controller and let it sit idle, while I go outside and smoke weed.

then about 30 minutes later I usually come back inside and look at my stack of games and then turnaround and go smoke again, until I feel I'm high enough to get my game on..

*Spoiler* - I gotta be high to do anything.

Blachek4707d ago

@Ozmoses

That'll take you far

Ozmoses4706d ago (Edited 4706d ago )

I'm living life super fine as a matter of fact.

I am a disabled veteran from the war in Iraq..

I get paid to sit around and I get paid even more money when I go to college.

hmmm??? Yeah!!!! my life really is in shambles

P.S. - You'd get high too if you've seen the things I've seen

Ozmoses4706d ago (Edited 4706d ago )

everyone still assumes weed is a lazy drug...

you think people smoke weed and just lounge around...

yeah, ok tell that to the doctor that is doing surgery while hopped up on pain medications...

or tell that to the lawyer that his saving your ass from jail while their snorting up some blow in the bathroom...

if you really think weed is gonna cause my life to abruptly stop and make it hard for me than you seriously haven't experienced life yet.

shoddy4706d ago

I'm a buda lovaz.
I salute you brave soldier

arkard4706d ago

@ozmoses I think its not the fact that you smoke weed, its the fact that use "Im a disabled war vet" as if that makes it ok. Im willing to bet there is a type of job that you would be able to do regardless of your disability...but no its ok just go ahead and collect disability thats so much easier....but its ok you served your country so you could go commit murder and it would be forgiven.

Ozmoses4706d ago (Edited 4706d ago )

no see the first post I only mentioned smoking weed...

and the dude replied "that'll take you far"

so I felt implied to defend my lifestyle... because I have seen things that many many many of you will never see in your lifetime...

I was 20 in Iraq.. I turned 21 in Iraq... I couldn't even drink, but I could carry 240 rounds of 5.56 and point my M16 at whoever I thought looked at me funny..

His comment said I wouldn't make it in life far because I smoke weed..

When frankly I experienced more in my life from the ages of 18-22 than he probably ever will.. 2002-2006 total time in U.S Army

U.S Army Specialist... OIF III 2005-2006.. 3/13th FA out of FT. Sill, Oklahoma.

Total time was 4 years with 1 in South Korea and 1 in Iraq..

So when I say that I smoke weed.. I mean I smoke weed because I don't give a fuck really anymore... I've done my time and I've served my country...

And all in the time of what?? to come home and be treated with false patriotism??? or let's see I dunno singled out by the government because changing gun laws make veterans more likely to become "terrorists"

didn't you know the FBI has a list.. and that list states that combat veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are the newest threats to the people of America...

It's all about readjusting to society as they like to put it..

So I'll tell you this... Once you've been in WAR and come back.. There isn't anything like it..

Life doesn't have meaning for me back in America, because no one is trying to kill me.

So Yeah... I smoke weed to deal with it.

and I'm enrolled in college... my 5th semester starts in August...

do you even want me to start describing what my back accounts and credit scores look like???? because I GUARANTEE they are higher (not a pun) than yours.

They could've cut the article down to just #9. I love that it will keep downloading even when the system is powered down or playing a game.

assdan4707d ago

I new 6 of those things. There were a few details about the DS4 I didn't know. Like there are buttons on the touch pad.

Heartnet4707d ago

not buttons.. button i think was what he was getting at.. as in u can press the touichpad down?

Braid4707d ago

@Heartnet

Yeah, that's how I understood it as well. Seems like the touchpad itself functions as a seperate button, just like how R3/L3 works on PS3 when you press the analog sticks.

Heartnet4707d ago

Tbh this article couldve been shortened to about 5... "Headset" its actually an ear-set :L and weights are on 2 seperate pages... theres a reason they couldnt get 2 ten as they put some random useless knowledge on there :L

oh and website was garbage... 9 different pages? gathering hits much... terrible..

RedHawkX4706d ago

its only 9 things because we already know the 10th one and the 10th reason is its better then the xbox one.

Zhipp4706d ago

Read the title of the article, then come back and read your own post.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga26d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot25d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose26d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE26d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername25d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy26d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde26d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8625d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8626d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300026d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle26d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7726d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
