That doesn't mean a thing in terms of respect though. Heck, gaming as a whole suffers from executive orders treating consumers as if they were just numbers in the first place.
Seemingly every other week a relatively high profile release hits the PC, and the PC gets saddled with an inexplicably poor version of a game that is lacking basic features. When that's no longer a reality THEN you can say the system has respect.
The reality isn't a respected platform: it's considered a dumping ground for quick and dirty conversions that squander performance overhead just to get a game to run at a stable threshold of performance. And worse, many o...
Same system as Origin/Oath in Felghana. Top-down perspective with 2D sprites against 3D polygonal backgrounds.
Ah nuts. And I just opted in to get TW3 :p
Literally never heard of this until now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Oh wow. May 5th? And here I was thinking it was like a week away for some daft reason. Heh, I'm now looking forward to the new week :P
Still working my way through this one but not really enjoying it. The game bounces back and forth between being too hard or laughably easy, rarely settling into a sweet spot (for reference I'm playing on Hard as I did for Origins and Ys 7).
How well you do is determined far too much by stats rather than skill/reading enemies. That's an issue Oath in Felghana and Origins had, but even then they would still hit that sweet spot where boss battles made you sweat bullets t...
I pissed myself laughing when I saw that one. I guess the zombie apocalypse ages people :P
Would it drop though? I'm thinking this card might occupy the price bracket in between the 980 and Titan X (which is pretty wide).
TBH it looks increasingly to me that the real limiting factor (going forward) with graphics is going to be the incredible amount art effort needed to create those kinds of visuals on a massive scale.
And I'm not sure the industry is up to that challenge, at least not at the $60 pricepoint. Heck the industry is already struggling as is, attempting to recoup losses through questionable DLC practices.
This might be the first time I've praised a video player that isn't Youtube. That's one zippy little player.
I've got 4-5000 yen just sitting in my account. Time to see if I can put it to use on something.
edi: NVM it's for the US store... although I wonder if Thursday's update will bring similar sales to the JPN store.
Phew, for a moment there I was worried I wasn't go to be able to run it without a *squints* Pentium 4 2.4 GHz processor.
It's not often I sit down to read a preview impressions of a game, but in keeping with the retro theme, this article reminded me (in a good way) of the way I'd pour over magazine articles.
I'd want this on the PC just so people could mod the character models to be consistent across the game. Those in-battle character models have weird faces. And TBH the game isn't detailed or demanding enough that one set of the highest quality models couldn't have been used throughout the game.
Also hoping this PS4 version has the Vita's quick-heal thing as that really helped improve flow/cut down on administrative downtime.
...needs more explosions...
That would be a bigger mindscrew than MGS2's protagonist switcharoo.
We aren't talking about being online only, but online being an impossible to avoid part of many jobs. This isn't about not knowing how to disconnect, it's about connection being an integral part of what they do.
I think it's a bit unreasonable to expect people to drastically alter their career course to cut out the internet (or any other emerging medium).
And cutting out the internet doesn't solve the issue, it simply changes the potential...
I'm not so sure I can believe that it's easy to ignore bullying for someone because it's on the internet. Not when you consider how key the internet is in many people's lives these days - doubly so for people involved in videogames who have to take the feedback of others plugged into it seriously.
For many people, increasingly the internet isn't a place to kill their spare time, but where they make their living and stake their character doing so.
"If we are talking about executive orders than consoles have it even worse"
No one is suggesting otherwise. But even without the comparison there's issues that are coming from the complacency of publishers that have no reason to exist.
And even with comparison all it means if there's a lack of respect from publishers across both console and PC.
To an extent the console issues are forgiveable because there's cost-cutting ...
