Graham from Codec Moments writes: "‘Is that a PS4?’ My wife asked me the other night, like many new bits of tech I had snuck it into the house under cover of darkness. My sneakiness had been undone after my better half wondered why she had just dusted two PS3′s. ’Yes it is’ I answered with my chest pumped out in pride. ’Why the bloody hell do you need another console’ was her reply to which I started to think ‘Yes, why do I need it?’."

Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
Naughty Dog was reportedly divided on the controversial fate of Joel in The Last of Us Part 2 during the game's development.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
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.
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
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
It'd be cool if people read this before posting based on the title/description
"I do close my eyes when a Xbox One ad comes on as I would quite like to play Forza 5 and Dead Rising but it wouldn’t make me buy the Xbox as a long term solution."
This. Waiting 6mo to buy is a wise decision though but I am a early adopter and I had to have it now. After staring at last gen for 7 long years i was in need of a refresh. X1's media features are nice but not for me. I dont even buy cable tv nor watch it. I work many hours and use gaming to relax, I have netflix to watch movies when I don't want to game or get off my butt and start checking stuff off my honey do list.
I'm very happy with my ps4 purchase, and certainly wouldn't go back. That being said, I can understand why you wouldn't get a next gen console yet, and there is no reason you NEED one at this point, especially if you have ps3, which is still getting a few more AAA games.
You can say that with almost anything, not just video games. But ya I feel like sometimes I take my video game obsession or n4g addiction too far. In the end video games are just games, and sometimes I forget why I bought mine in the first place. That was to spend time with my family. Life is more important. I LET THIS SITE RUIN GAMING FOR ME, IM MOVING ON.
BOWZER OUT!!!!!!
Edit: Final Comment, nice knowing everyone. Give me some agrees please. Never got more then 10. GAME ON.
Is that a PS4 ? no it's my everything
