GPU bias is nothing new. It's been happening for years and will continue. GPU manufacturers segregate the market so they can sell their hardware as "the way it's meant to be played" - and the end result is the consumer loses.

Cool GPU list, but paired with which processor?

It was on the PC as well. The game's readily available on GOG for around £6. Should run decently on pretty much any rig these days.

The issue here (for readers at least) isn't the legality of what's happening, but whether it's ethical or not. Let the law abitrate legality.

And TBH I'm having a hard time believing what I'm reading because it's extremely rare for the videogame media to be caught in a situation that looks this incriminating (again, not actually about crime. But you know what I mean).

Real corruption in videogame coverage probably isn't as common a...

"Truth be told though, I'm just not that impressed by the look of this game. It still looks like a game that was caught between last gen hardware and next gen hardware."

Erm... it is? Last I checked the PS3 and 360 versions were still on.

Just had this embarrassing realisation that I've been calling this "Toukiden Kimiwa" all this time, thinking "Kimiwa" sounds stupid. Turns out I was reading the name wrong this whole time.

You could. But I think most people want far more than parity from a PC they build. It hardly seems worth the effort if you are going to only aim for that.

The PS4 has better performance in the cross-platform games PC builders doing these exercise typically use.

TBF it's not that common in videogames for actors likenesses to be used in multiple games. I can't really think of another example to be honest.

Not sure if that would even be considered corruption. But heck, sounds like an alternate future I'd like to be a part of. Sign me up.

In a sad way it's true: the more you fight against the negative image of gamers the more the media (including many media that used to support us) will fight back. And the media are bigger, louder and carry more clout - by giving them a chance to fire back you allow them to be heard louder than if you'd said nothing at all.

And yet the alternative is silly as well. It's not fair that gamers should have to shoulder random attacks on their character because of a brok...

*shrugs* I thought it looked decent TBH. Didn't get the fuss over the graphics. It's not failing in any one given way and overall it meets a certain bar for graphics - as do, I feel, most games that come out these days.

The X1's still require a pair of AAs. But TBH a pair Eneloops will last longer playtime wise and probably even lifetime wise as well. A single charge on the X1 still lasts significantly longer than the DS4, about 3 times as long in my estimation.

The culprit with the DS4 is the regressive change to a smaller capacity battery. Sony shouldn't have cheaped out on that.

I like both, but I reckon I'm in the minority in that I prefer the Xbox One controller, if simply for battery life. The battery life on the DS4 means I have to charge it at some point every day, this isn't an issue with the X1 controller or even the DS3.

Yeah. It looks good. Like the first true taste of this new generation. But then again, what game actually looks bad these days? I can't think of one.

Well think about it like this: Generally acceptance of various norms progresses over time. So things that were once shocking would become societal norms.

Think about the visibility of gay people for instance. Always been there, but more visible (open) in a society that's progressed towards just accepting them as just another norm.

Now jump forward a few hundred years into Mass Effects' future after there's been a lot of social progress. In that ki...

It doesn't really make sense to tackle transgenderism in Mass Effect as it's set in the future where transgenderism would be considered pretty commonplace. It's a universe where humans have moved on to struggling with inter-species relations. The real question you could ask is, if Mass Effect is supposed to be set in a convincing future why aren't we seeing more transgenderism in it's universe already? And wouldn't including more of it make the game's world more co...

Wow, that was pretty damn good for a game that came out of nowhere. Butler buddy co-op FTW.

Speedrunners don't speedrun their first playthrough. It doesn't make sense to since you can't know the game well enough to speedrun it effectively.

3966d ago 5 agree0 disagreeView comment

And by speedrun they really do speedrun, not a no-frills playthrough. TBH I'm more concerned that the game might be too long/too big and filled with bloat than the opposite!
