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
Another load of old cobblers from VG Charts, I don't know why people insist on taking them seriously.
I think I might do US and UK numbers, because they seem to be the only interesting battle that goes on where the PS4 isn't flatout winning (I'll leave JP to media crate postings).
PS4: Back on top again thanks to.....The Evil Within???? Strangely VGChartz updated their PS4 and XBO numbers from last week to higher sales (confirms that they do adjust their numbers). If true the PS4 is now consistently at just under 300k units per week, so more power to Sony and the PS4. The holidays should be amazing for them.
3DS: Sales are starting average out in JP since the release of the New 3DS, but I'm sure it'll take 1 or 2 more weeks before things are to a more consistent average, but by then the holiday sales will be here, so expect 3DS to ride out the rest of the year on a high note.
XBO: The underdog story IMO. Just like the PS4 sales from last week were updated putting the XBO at over 117k units up from the prior 80k they had posted. If true that means the XBO is actually selling around where I had originally thought it would be. Which is a good position for them to be in heading into the holiday season. I'd like to take a moment and talk about XBO. I think the US price drop for November is a great idea and one I said they should have done many times before it happened. Now looking at the sales in each region they need to expand this kind of promotion across North America and in the UK. Simply put these are the only regions where the XBO is putting up a admirable fight against the PS4, and if they can at least stay close to parity in sales with the PS4 then that should be around 50 million in sales alone easy. MS doesn't look like it's going to win, but it can still maintain some of it's momentum if they focus on trying to win those 2 markets and hard. November NPD should be exciting and telling.
PS3: Keeps trucking along, and might win EU for the last-gen consoles by th eend of this year.
Wii U: It really needs Smash which should cause sales to at least quadruple if not more (considering it's the holiday season). After that they need to make sure they have a real price drop (not temporary) in early 2015 (no later than March or April), or the XBO will pass them in 2015.
360: Still chugging along as well.
PSV: I don't know if PSTV sales are included in this number for the US, but if they are then it's a wrap for the Vita, which is sad and unfortunate. PSTV launched on the 14th, so it should be included in the US numbers, but considering they're pretty much identical to last weeks numbers I don't think they're included.
Wii: It was a good run.
i know people dont really like using vgchartz.
but i just wondered why they dont actually display rest of the world numbers in a seperate category? i mean they include those in the total numbers but dont even bother displaying it. is it because they dont have a proper way of tracking it?
ps4 RoW - 55k+
xbone RoW - 25k+
pretty decent numbers in my opinion.
Vgchartz is a guesstimate or do they follow an official source or leak? I'm guessing the latter, otherwise we would follow the official source.
But, its always good to see a rough guideline of what's going on. I can't wait to see how this holiday season goes down. Will ps4 continue to dominate or will Microsoft's recent turn out of pulling all the right moves claim an end of year victory going into a fresh Q1 for 2015!
