When did 1080p and 60fps become such an issue? And why the hell are players so angry about 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
Gamers just expect value for their hard earned purchases (or those who claim to purchase it themselves). If I buy more expensive hardware and can't get the full benefits from it which includes higher fidelity visuals then why did I upgrade in the first place? It's not as important as some make it but it still is a valid issue.
Doesn't bother me, but I can see why people would rather get the better running version of the game if they cost the same price. For me I divide franchises to the system I believe they belong to.
And it begins again….the same article re-skinned for the same damage control. A bigger noise was made over much smaller differences last-gen when 360 had better multiplats for several years, but now we can't talk about it because the sensitive ones can give it but can't take it. Lens of Truth was okay last-gen, but now the professionals at Digital Foundry aren't.
Let's break this argument down…. It matters differently to different people, which should go without saying, but I can appreciate those people that aren't disingenuous about the differences between resolutions and performance. A seasoned gamer should be able to see the difference between a resolution of 900p against 1080p because heck, PC gamers have made the claim a thousand times over before this argument even involved XB1 vs. PS4. If you can't tell the difference then you must be a casual gamer, no less. It's that simple: http://i.minus.com/iW998p1o...
This "debate" isn't going away, so the fact that people use the facts of a factual analysis how they please shouldn't annoy or confuse anyone. As games become more and more complex as developers scrap last-gen consoles to leverage their games towards next-gen hardware specific technology, the differences will become more apparent, so it's time this all just became accepted and then those that have the strength to, should just move on, rather than get frustrated that one faction is rubbing established facts in the faces of another faction.
Still not decided which console to buy with my Xmas bonus lol
