So the reason wasn't the games or the quality it was hd space? So this person bought a whole console and only bought multi-paltforms instead of just getting a bigger hard drive? And that's irrelevant now that PS4 can also use external hard drives.

Some women are attracted to pretty things. Other women are attracted to size.

The one's who look at the whole package though tend to be happier in the end.

Why do people act as if you must be absolutely loyal to a brand? It's not a big deal if you aren't

franwex3208d ago

People are naturally insecure, so they must validate their purchase and have a tribe mentality to feel good about it.

OB1Biker3208d ago (Edited 3208d ago )

'Loyal' would suppose you stay with your preferred brand over other brands. You can still have your preferred brand and get other brands too in addition.
I mean yea haha the term is overused and a bit meaningless.
People will always have preferences. Nothing wrong with that.
I think people who can't stand other gamers preferences, or 'loyalty' as only them call it, are far more debatable.

OB1Biker3208d ago (Edited 3208d ago )

What's up with the disagrees?
Just curious. People should cut that 'loyal' BS about brands. Sounds as if I'd say I'm loyal to MC Donald because I regularly go there. It's just silly.

GrubsterBeater3207d ago

Here's the thing that bothers me...

I am not able to call out MS for their shady practices and lack of support, studios, and AAA titles without being called a fanboy. I guess I am pretty loyal to Sony because of how much they have delivered over the years, but I still try to hold their feet to the fire, which most fans of MS fail to do for some reason. I have bought an XBox before and been burned.. multiple times.. yet I can't call them out or hate what they're doing without being called a fanboy..

Loyalty is different than blind, delusional fanboyism, which I hate to say happens WAYYY more on the MS side. There are Sony fans that can't see Sony do any wrong, but on the MS side it is insane..

pinkcrocodile753208d ago

It's kind of like being told my a teenager what music is the cool music when you already know what you like and what you want. You also know that they are usually full of sh!t and don't know there arse from a hole in the ground.

It's the same here, if someone tells you that you should prefer this or that, tell em to go F*** themselves

Rude-ro3208d ago

Most people are not...
Just a lot of consumers realize Microsoft pays for their media hype and it is very hard to separate shills from legitimate opinions.
That is what comes from years of negative use through media partners. People no longer believe it.

GamingCentaur3208d ago

Why do people act like you should get multiple consoles despite them playing mostly the same games? It’s called being smart.

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

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot21d 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…

HectixRose22d 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.

JEECE22d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername21d 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.

Soy22d 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.

pwnmaster300022d 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
