good article!
nice layout too! almost like reading a gaming magazine newspaper!

-Ninja Gaiden 3-is sick!:)

Christopher5610d ago

Just in response to your post, horrible layout for the Web. Having to scroll up and down to continue reading and using background images with the text you're supposed to be reading that make it hard to read more? Very bad design.

As far as the article, it provides nothing new, but is an okay overview. I do take issue with yet another article stating that Sony removed OtherOS when what happened is users were given a choice, OtherOS or PSN. GeoHot wanted both and in the process modified the PSN code to enable it.

Speak for yourself. I like the layout a lot.

Christopher5610d ago

I was speaking for myself...

*confused*

What I don't get is this, if you're a "true" gamer, (heheheheaaahaha), you obviously wouldn't steal games or pirate them right? I mean, "true" "gamers" don't need to steal games cause you all care about the industry so much. Right?

Ok, so all these people stealing games must not be "true" "gamers" and thus they'd never buy the game anyways. Why are you people crying again? Do you think any one of the games they are poised to steal is going to be a game changer and swing them over to the gamer side? No.

Just let them steal their games and conduct business as you normally would. You are the ones supporting the industry anyways. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I know everyone of you have bought a used game or borrowed one and never gave it back or accepted a used game from a friend for free. I know it. That doesn't help the industry at all. Not one bit.

Clean your own closest before you go and start cleaning other peoples.

You're confusing true gamers with fanboys.

True gamers don't suck some company's dick and belittle said company's competition like a bunch of children. True gamers wouldn't give a shit about the PS3 - or any console, for that matter - getting hacked.

EDIT: Honestly, how many PS3 hacking articles have there been in the past week?

Where were all the articles about the 360 or Wii getting hacked? Where were the 50+ articles a day when the PSP got hacked? Oh, hold on a sec, there were barely any articles for each of those.

The fanboys are making this shit out to be the end of the world or something. It's ridiculous and makes me ashamed to call myself a gamer this gen. Hell, it makes me ashamed to say I own the fucking console.

Christopher5610d ago (Edited 5610d ago )

Really poor logic.

1. What the frak is a "true" gamer? Someone who buys games always or someone who buys games when they can't pirate? If the former, then this group of gamers makes up an very small portion of the population that buys games. If the latter, then there are "true" gamers who pirate games.

2. You can't suddenly leap from the logic that only "true" gamers would buy a game and anyone else wouldn't. Then you're saying that anyone who has bought a game is a "true" gamer and therefore has never pirated. This just isn't true.

3. If the group of people who now buy games on the PS3 do so because a) they want to or b) they can't pirate. Once piracy is an option, the group of people who buy games on the PS3 will lose the people from group b. This means that the number of people who support the developers of the games will diminish by however many people comprise group b.

You logic fails in assuming that group b doesn't support developers when there are no options for piracy. They do. It's when piracy becomes available that these people do what saves them the most money so they can spend their money on something else. The desire to play video games always remains.

Edit: If you somehow believe that people who buy games for the PS3 now would never pirate, then you live in an imaginary world where logic doesn't apply.

mastiffchild5610d ago

Yeah. We'll extend your dubious attempt at turn tabling morals into seeing how you feel when you get burgled. They only burgled YOUR house why should I care?

All that evil needs to prosper is for good men to turn a blind eye-which is exactly what you suggest we do. This isn't about isolated one offs when people are poor and need to buy used games or you try a mates before buying your own copy. No, these guys are publcising this like it's OK and doing so to MILLIONS. Did momma teach you nothing?

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5610d ago

Good article to have a little knowledge about what's going on.

Anyway, I won't hack the console, I want to play Online without problems.

A LIVING LEGEND5610d ago

It is a black and white issue,no shades of gray.
Right or Wrong or somewhere in between.
It is wrong.Mastiff I agree completely

bigevilworldwide5610d ago

I think they should just shoot all there morons now that idiots are hacking it MW2 is totally unplayable online and its spreading to black ops there is no way someone gets a nuke in less than 60 seconds let alone can you normally shoot someone from inside a building across the map.I really love the ones you can unload a clip into their face from 2 ft away and they don't die. I'm sure its going to spread to other games also.

Top 5 Most Realistic Games

A list of the most realistic games available.

iamnsuperman5238d ago

number 4 ,in my eyes, is a total kick in the groin. Total dis service to the whole tactical genre.

I can't decide if the list was based on what games look realistic or what games are realistic.

3GenGames5238d ago (Edited 5238d ago )

Battlefield is a FPS primarily that requires teamwork and tactics to win. Doesn't mean it did a dis-service to the tactical genre, it just means none of the tactical genre games were good enough to beat it. Pretty accurate, IMO. Everything in the game is spot on physics and realism-wise. Of course there's some thing that can't be to have a good game, but deal with it.

TooTall195238d ago

Stopped watching after I saw his first 2 choices. What a joke he thinks Battlefield 3 is realistic. It can be tactical, but certainly doesn't need to be played that way in order to succeed.

3GenGames5238d ago

You'll totally be able to win planting 0 bombs in rush or capturing 0 points in conquest, not ever flanking or getting behind people to do said things if your teammates can't. Good luck with that, you've just never played the game right. I also bet you haven't won, either.

TooTall195238d ago

http://battlelog.battlefiel...

Actually I have won a game doing nothing but lone-wolf running and gunning. In fact, I've won quite a few games doing my own thing. I've also been in the top 3 (out of 24) about 28% of the time.

Ejecting from a jet, shooting another jet with a rocket launcher while in mid-air, and then landing back in your jet is NOT realistic. It's fun, but that's not the point of this top 5.

h311rais3r5238d ago

compared to many other games it is realistic. sure there goofy shit u can do but come one. u know why u won lone wolfing? the other team wasnt working as a team or even cared about winning. COD kiddies just want kills

TooTall195238d ago

Okay then 60% of BF3 players don't use tactics is what you're saying. And that's on "hardcore" servers even.

Just because it's more realistic than some other games doesn't mean it deserves to be in a top 5 list.

ExCest5238d ago (Edited 5238d ago )

You know why you do well? You don't die. You know why? You don't play the objective. Just killing scrubs that can't fight back because they have more important things to do. Like PTFO.

You're one of those people who run up to the bomb, kill everyone, and then run away so you don't die. Without planting/defusing. I hate those people. Don't play BF3 if you're going to do that. Play COD and don't give BF3 a bad name.

Now I sound mean but seriously...

BTW your Battlelog isn't impressive. You lone wolf it but dude, it's fairly unimpressive. I do better by playing the objective. (But I've been sniping recently so I haven't helped the team too much.)

After looking at your Battlelog. You lie. You do play the Objective.

TooTall195238d ago (Edited 5237d ago )

Yes you are right. Your 1.74 W/L ratio and 8 more hours of playtime is so much better than my terrible 1.53 W/L ratio... That's a whopping 3%

Of course I play the objective! Look at my original comment. I go in Rambo-style and take the objectives, cause half of your team is doing their own thing away from the objective.

ExCest5238d ago

Then name a game that is huge (in a sense that everyone will play) and is also tactical. Nowadays, people like the fast-paced action of FPS so it would be boring if BF3 was all tactical. Everyone would be too cautious and sit back and not die. EVER. Tactical requires a captain who can plan everything but if that happens, it won't be fun because you won't be doing your thing, but instead someone else's.

lorianguy5238d ago (Edited 5238d ago )

For #3, I'd say GT5 is more realistic than Forza. Simply because it is a simulator and puts realism before fun, whereas Forza is very fun but not as realistic as GT5.

I know his list wasn't going to include simulators, but you need them for a realistic game, no?

Series_IIa5238d ago

It's obvious that you nor him have heard of rFactor...

lorianguy5238d ago

Just checked it out. It looks very nice indeed. :)

But I still think GT5 is more realistic.

(Or if you can find a good gameplay video of it, I might change my mind. I don't have much time to look for myself I'm afraid.)

RXL5238d ago

Realistic feeling = if you switch out a mag...you don't get to keep the bullets in the previous mag you just threw away = no games out that are THAT realistic

should've just named this "Games i think are fun and kind of, almost, not really realistic"

Ducky5238d ago

There are games that are smart about weapon reloading.
RedOrchestra is one that I can name off the top of my head, and it isn't even a military sim.

Slugg3r5238d ago

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising did this, although I'd say it gets annoying to use the left overs of your ammo belts when you run out of fresh ones.

ninjahunter5237d ago

There was a game called like swat or something i played along time ago. You start with 4 mags, one in your gun, 3 spares. If you reloaded You would keep the mag but it might only have 1-2 bullets left. Of course that game somewhat tanked it for obvious reasons.

MaximusPrime5238d ago

Well that's Gamersheep's opinion. Respect.

Police Target Xbox Users for Stakeouts, Console Searches

First, it was computers. Then it was cell phones. And now? It's gaming consoles.

Hacktivist group Anonymous recently targeted the email account of a cybercrimes investigator with the California Department of Justice. That hack netted a treasure trove of information related to police use of Xbox and other gaming consoles.

The practice is apparently becoming more and more common.

Microsoft must put an end to this ,cause now they will have allowed these scumbags to even listen in on those who are innocent. Sounds like invasion of privacy.
