Who plays games to be cool?

It still requires a PC, a TV, and a controller. This isn't anything that someone with those three things can't already do, so if they really wanted to do it, they already could... It's just more convenient than moving your PC next to a TV, plugging in the HDMI and using a controller.

This has been the norm for years... I can remember as far back as PS3 release had articles like this, and what's wrong with it? Some of us don't like dishing out full price for a game that can we can complete in half a day.

It's really not that simple. Humans still have a sense of balance, so if there's an application that moves people around (ie even using a camera to look without turning the head) some people will feel dizzy as their eyes are telling their brain one thing, and their balance senses are telling their brain another. This causes conflict which then causes motion sickness.

Damn, I was hoping the game took 90mins to complete so it was more cinematic.

It's funny seeing people complain over something like this, yet you go on any 'piracy' article and it's all about 'hurting the developers'.

" Oh yeah, wait, why the hell does anyone have corded anythings anymore? "

The same reason people use cables instead of wi-fi, it's more stable and reliable.

Fantastic journalism... The two 'examples' had nothing to do with feminism. The attacks at the transgender had nothing to do with them being a "female", and Zoe Quinn's attacks was because she slept with people to get good reviews, the exact same thing would have happened for any other favours that did the same thing (and do happen).

And the so called 'boy club'? I'd say the majority of guys would gladly like females to play games with, not s...

Call it what you want to call it, but they used a logo without permission.

It's no different to if they put the McDonalds logo on it. Just because you buy a product from something doesn't give you permission to use everything they own.

Holy shit, defense force can't admit that there may simply be a game that is better than a Sony exclusive. An 8 isn't even bad, what's all the bitching and conspiracy theories for?

I remember when console gamers use to say it was about the games, not the graphics.

3DMark is a benchmark tool for testing specific parts of hardware and comparing them to other hardware, they aren't about being the graphically best software out.

Nothing like correcting a grammatical error and making one yourself.

Diablo 3 was in development for 11 years, and that turned out fine... eventually.

"THE best looking racer anyone has seen."
"Bear in mind this is about consoles and that's what we are talking about."

Conflicting statements then, isn't it?

@Parasyte

And what's your experience?

Do you think people just make games and release it when it's ready? You know that EA is a company right? They run on money, with the goal to make more money.

Hardline was going to release in the prime time of sales, right before Christmas, of course there was friction when they wanted to delay till after that.

I'm curious as to what you think non-technical roles play in the g...

Haven't you heard? They are releasing the game, you just won't be able to see anything.

'Building your brand' doesn't exactly come into play when you are a multi-billion dollar company that is one of the largest, most well-known companies in the world. It's about making money now, not about being known.

This also isn't some impulsive buy, if you don't think MS had some of the worlds best people looking over this deal you are a fool. There is clearly money to be made.

And that's why you don't run a multi-billion dollar business.

Minecraft is so well established. Look at its sales, its platforms, its merchandise, its a brand name that so many people know, it even has a conference. You can't name a single new IP that even comes close to Minecraft in ANY of those terms.

MS could make some new features and slap a 2 at the end of the name and sell millions of copies in an instant across most of the platforms.
