Haven't played the MP all that much, I have played it a bit, and the Campaign and weapons/movement in this COD makes this the best COD since the original Modern Warfare.
I dislike Bobby Kotick for a number of reasons, but his statement a while back that sales drive design make sense. If you don't want COD, or don't enjoy it, don't buy it. Why waste your money if you think it's a repeat of every COD before it? This is the first COD I've bought since Mo...
The 970 _just_ came out and you expect it to be mainstream already? Seriously...
Cammy already is a fox!
I could only watch less than 5 minutes of that before I had to turn it off. Appreciating female beauty does not objectify them as this woman claims. Just as women, and yes women do, appreciate good looking men with great bodies. There's nothing wrong with that.
Of course it's wrong to harass someone however, but that isn't an issue of gender. That's certain individuals who are being assholes just as any person, female or male, can be an absolute asshole.
Funny, I've been playing it since release and am still really enjoying it. How weird. I must be weird. In fact, I am going boot it up now. Can't wait for the weather patch and the upcoming DLC.
Bayonetta shouldn't have gotten 9+ scores it got -- sexual content or not. The sexual content is juvenile, that's my view but I can look past it if the game is fun. Bayonetta 2, from what I played, is fine, but it's the most overrated game in I don't know how long. It's like it was rated based on taking a political stance its sexual content rather than as a game. Like the reviewers that feel strongly that it's not an issue gave it a super high score, and the reviewers ...
Darksiders 2 on PC still looks better than Shadow of Mordor on PC on highest settings. The world in Shadow of Mordor is incredibly bland, the game is saved by the great combat (lifted right out of Batman), story, and the RPG elements. It really isn't that original, but it is fun. If they could pretty up the graphics for the sequel and make the world more fun to explore I'd be very happy.
Personally I feel Darksiders was more original, despite its Zelda influence. It a...
Also, what I think people seem to forget is that the media have tonnes of friends to play with -- coworkers. There are no accurate numbers of how many people play MP and how popular it is compared to SP games.
Will Arkham Knight sell less because if it doesn't have MP? Doubtful looking at the past. AC Unity will sell based on the SP campaign with a group playing it for co-op. MP has its audience, but so does SP, those of us grown up enough who don't work in the games...
For me personally, I enjoy it despite the social features not working. I agree it's a huge f-up, but it's still a really fun racing game with tracks that feel different every time you play them because of the changing conditions.
Compare this to Need for Speed Shift and this is easily as good even without the social features and I would argue better because of the variations of the tracks due to the procedural weather. Just the position of the sun makes a difference, ...
The issue is still there no matter what, they catered to the lowest common denominator. At best the PS4 might have a slightly smoother FPS (as in a stable 30 while XB1 goes below 30) and I would still be really angry if I hadn't just upgraded my PC and was buying Unity for it. PS4 owners who don't have a decent gaming PC should be pissed at Ubisoft for this release.
We'll see what happens when more multiplatform, new-gen only games from other publishers are releas...
I'm grateful I am playing this on a powerful PC because if I was playing Unity on my PS4 I'd be pissed too. Yes, they are pushing a lot of AI in Unity and that is really awesome to see it affect gameplay, but that's the whole reason you have Compute on GPUs, so you can offload several resources onto the GPU that would normally go on the CPU. There's zero reason why the Xbox One and PS4 version should be equal when the PS4 is more powerful. Period.
Many games this new generation has shown that graphics will sell the same game mechanics from last gen more. Infamous SS was really no different than Infamous 1 and 2, yet with a much smaller install base SS sold more than Infamous 1 and 2. Why? Graphics. It immerses you, it creates a visceral experience that people want. Sure, gameplay needs to evolve too, but graphics really matter and every big game this year has done well despite average reviews. Ryse was in the unfortunate position of be...
If you listen to the internet haters. I have several friends who are now buying driving games (Driveclub) who would never have bought a driving game in the PS3/Xbox360 era because of its graphics. Same goes for Witcher and Dragon Age. I had no interest in those games last gen but I'm really excited about them now. I've personally never been a fan of Assassin's Creed, but Unity looks fantastic.
Ryse certainly wowed me and lots of people I know. You just have to fil...
This is what it's like if you're not a core member of a studio. You work the project, you get laid off after the project, you look for a new one and hope you don't have to move to a new city and rince repeat. Doesn't even often matter how good you are, it's all about seniority, who has been there the longest won't be let go first but the ones coming in for the game will. It's not an issue if you are open to moving and don't have a family but if you do, it can b...
aliasing means jagged edges
"anti"aliasing means smooth edges
So if you say "aliasing is pretty good", you're saying the jaggies are good. Not trying to be a dick, just being educational. The whole concept of antialiasing came up to combat aliasing. I assume you know what the word "anti" means.
It's pretty hookey looking imo for a "new-gen" game. I expect more. Plus every single mechanic in the game except for the nemesis system is ripped off another game (Batman, Assassin's Creed) with less graphical polish.
And the 6GB Vram for Ultra Textures on PCs just seems liek a stupid marketing move to get attention. The texturing in that game isn't even that good (it's been out a few hours anD I both have the game and have seen the videos).
...
Games have been using sub surface scattering since PS3/Xbox360. It's the quality of the implementation that's rising these days.
I'm a huge PC gamer and will play most new-gen games on PC, but this is a mod made mostly by amateurs so this still doesn't look as good as Uncharted 4 that's completely optimized for a specific hardware. People still don't seem to get that with PC gaming.
PC gamers (myself included) should be happy that cons...
Always wanted to play proper console games on my tablet. I wish they made a tablet sized Vita (with Tablet functionality as well). I would be all over that. This is very tempting tho. I guess you'll be able to sync your DS4 to the tablet/phone?
Disappointing show? Haha, I thought it was fantastic. It had plenty of game reveals and new content. I first watched the MS conference and thought it was good and figured Sony wouldn't top it, but then I saw Sony's and I was really blown away. This is Gamescom. We got Silent Hills demo, see in-game trailer of Bloodborne, a fantastic new trailer for 1886 The Order that showed new environments finally, awesome Tearaway PS4 announcement/trailer, great LBP3 footage, the always awesome Dri...
I wouldn't make up my mind based on N4G chatter. There's not enough substance to shift through all the noise. Watch videos, watch reviews, watch MP specific reviews if that's what you are after. If the Zombie going DLC is a dealbreaker for you... I don't know what to say. They do have a local split-screen mode against bots, you can also play alone against bots with everything unlocked which I like.
So maybe this year's Zombie mode has way more resources p...
