It's a step in the right direction and it never should've taken this long to get it

Edit: 2 step verification is a standard security feature for most major services and I think it's justified to say they should've implemented this quicker, feel free to disagree

Idiedgoodbye3565d ago

It's a trap for hose who try to hack

wellard3565d ago

Bit over the top there mate. Geez

Idiedgoodbye3565d ago

*Those damn typos haha. I'm leaving it as is

YinYangGaming3565d ago

Probably but 2 step verification is a standard security feature for most major services and I think it's justified to say they should've implemented this quicker, feel free to disagree

rainslacker3564d ago

I use quite a few major services, banking or otherwise, and can't think of any that use a 2 step verification. Some have it as optional, but most just require a U/N and password. I know quite a few I use have SMS verification for when you forget a password or something like that though.

That's good to hear, the more features the better, especially security features.

Oh come on Sony... really? SMS based? Why can't I use Google Authenticator?

badz1493565d ago

because if they use that they have to pay Google? no?

DarkZane3565d ago

Wow, SMS only? Kind of a waste for people who don't have mobile devices. Sending an email with a code or having an authenticatior app on older ios and android devices like some gaming companies does would have also been better.

Also, better an option where you can check: Never ask again on this device, I'd hate to enter a code everytime I turn my PS4 on.

SquidBuck3565d ago

in this day and age who tf doesn't have a mobile device.

rainslacker3564d ago

So, waste for people who don't have mobile devices, but having an authenticator on an old mobile device is OK?

Once can get a free SMS number if they really need it. You won't need a code every time you turn on your PSN, likely just for making purchases, kind of like how it is now when it asks for your password when making a purchase if you choose that extra bit of security for store use.

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

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot20d 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…

HectixRose21d 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.

JEECE21d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername20d 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.

Soy21d ago

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

DarXyde21d 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.

Ashunderfire8621d 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.

Ashunderfire8621d ago (Edited 21d 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.

pwnmaster300021d 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.

solideagle21d 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

Relientk7721d ago

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