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
I literally just left to see if they have posted the numbers yet, and the PS4 is just killing it......STILL. Sony won this month hands down, and they'll have sold almost 1 million consoles in September alone (holiday numbers in September WOW)
3DS is holding strong in that 90k - 100k range, and the new model should push it back up into the 120k - 150k range. September numbers should be just shy of 400k for the 3DS.
XBO is finally starting to settle in, but the the final Tier 2 launch will boost their numbers again (as well as FH2), so we still won't be able to get a good idea of what they're averaging, and possibly not until 2015 since October is gameagedon, and the holiday season is right after that. But it's good for them to have their numbers up, and like I've said they should be in the 600k range (if the China numbers were really 100k) taking a comfortable 2nd place for September. It's great for them, but you can guarantee and XBO price drop is coming sooner or later (November - April).
PS3, the little console that could just keeps on going. It should be just shy of 200k units for September.
Wii U, is starting to drop back down, but numbers should skyrocket to MK8 numbers when Smash comes out, which is why they probably won't and don't need a price cut until 2015. 165k for the month.
360 is chugging along, just over 100k in sales for the month.
Vita, Japan alone is carrying the Vita with the NA and EU sales being awful. This is sad they're not getting over 100k in sales for September, the good news is PSTV is coming to NA in October, and EU in November and hopefully it'll get their numbers up, if not it's time to call it quits.
Wii it was a good run.
When official numbers come out itll still be killing it, nothing is going to stop this train. idc what game comes out on the oppossing platform, people have spoken and first impressions go a longgggggggg wayyyyyyy.
Oh the salty disagrees, i love it!
Abizzle....
The positive out of all this that benefits gamers the most is that due to the Xbone horrible messaging and Wiiu underpowere, narrowminded thinking comes growth. Already Microsoft is scrambling to try to make the Xbone "seem" better in other aspects and are doing good job with deals and firmware updates because they know if they dont they are even more screwed. Nintendo im sure is revising their whole game plan for their next console and ill bet itll be able to go toe to toe with next gen consoles and they are releasing their first party games slowly butsurely. So you see Ps4 dominiation helps gamers alot and we get good deals out of it. If Ps4 wasnt beating the crap out of Xbone ppl would have never gotten a kinectless sku
Man PS3 is still putting out some decent numbers and congrats to the X1 its on the rise! ;)
PS4 is doing fantastic.
