Wow Goldmars I encourage you to find even one comment by me that says Steam Machines were in anyway even remotely going to kill consoles. I will give you so much breathing room as to say if you can go though my comment history and find even one comment that even half implies they were a good idea I will personally tell you you are the "winner".

Let's be honest it's a pretty bold statement to even claim you remember my posts from a year ago but I'm go...

@Genuine-User

If you take the time to read those you'll see that they are written very skeptically.

I mean every one of those articles has a ? at the end of the title.

I don't think any of those authors thought that Steam Machines were going to eliminate consoles.

I'm going to have to agree, I don't remember that either.

I'm really looking forward to the high end performance versions of Polaris. I'd like to see an dual gpu single card version of the current Polaris as well.

Either way I'm happy to see AMD really keeping the pressure on Nvidia.

Donthate.

I have been talking about the same thing since the start. That people are trying to create separate rules for different people and that equality means one thing. In every reply your basically saying something different to try counter what I am saying and prove me wrong (or whatever). I showed that the states are passing discrimination laws. Either you agree that's wrong or you don't all the other stuff you're talking about is absolutely meaningless...

Thats kind of a dumb argument I mean obviously people are concerned. That in itself is enough reason to discus it.

The case of disability is entirely different. That's not what we are discussing here and you know it.

Minorities are not disabled they are discriminated against it's not the same thing.

People are actively trying to make laws to impede certain types of people. The biggest fight in the next few years is going to be states versus existing equality mandates.

This is just one bill, it was the first thing that came up in google. Bu...

Uh... ok. Well regardless of agree/disagree clicks I'm going to have to say I think most people would say TW3 sold well because it was a good game. I mean, it was the most critically acclaimed game of 2015 and won more awards by far than any other game... I haven't really ever heard anyone before you say it sold well because of hype.

What's your point exactly?

Witcher 3 sold well because it was a good game, lack of DRM didn't hurt it. It sold better than most of the games with Denuvo. EA has their own distribution as well.

You can measure it. Exposure/expected sales of genre vs actual sales. And it's especially easy in the case of games that are part of a series how it sells in comparison to other games in the series.

Just cause sold less Fifa 15 and 16 didn't sell more than prior games Batman and Mad Max both failed to meet expectations with Arkham Knight selling far less than the prior games. (though admittedly it had other issues) Anno to the best of my knowledge didn't sell...

That makes absolutely zero sense... what your saying is by discriminating we'll stop discrimination? That's like saying on a flat surface if we move left we'll end up on the right, It's impossible.

The only way to end discrimination and have equality is to treat everyone as equals. That's it. What your saying is EXACTLY WORD FOR WORD what I was trying to explain when I said people are trying to redefine equality. If that&#...

This is a series that doesn't have any appeal to me. Admittedly the only one I have played was the second one but I didn't like it. I didn't care for the timer and I'm not a fan of the mechanic in any game where you spend a lot of time creating a weapon only to use it a couple times and have it break.

But for those of you who like it, have fun.

No one is talking about Canada...

Edited to add:

Listen it's not bigotry to tell someone to stop discriminating. If someone is calling you a racial slur it's not bigotry to tell them they are wrong or to tell them to stop. It doesn't go both ways like that.

And what we have going on is an effort to redefine equality into some form of "we can have one set of rules for one group and another set for that group". Ye...

You don't know what discrimination and bigotry are as defined by what you said there.

No one is making laws that say a retail store can decide not to hire you or even sell you goods or services because your not gay or because your christain. Yet places are passing laws that try to make it legal for a store to not sell you things or hire you because you are gay.

The only game that surprised me was Nier for PS3. And I have to admit that surprised me a lot.

But I can honestly say the game I am looking forward to most is actually the new Nier game.

Well, TBH the game I am looking forward to is always the next Yakuza game but Sega is so flaky about localization I always just assume they won't actually get localized.

All DRM does is keep people from playing games for free. No game that has used Denuvo has shown any definable increase in sales and Witcher 3 sold extremely well on PC with no DRM. Make a good game and it will sell regardless of DRM.

I mean at this point it's basically... Does a developer want to pay a lot of extra money to keep people from being able to play the game for free? There so far is little reason to expect the cost to license Denuvo to repay itself in extr...

Why do you defend these game companies so much?

Of course it's a bribe. The only question is whether you think it's wrong or not.

And the difference between you and these youtuber is they have thousands of people going to their channel who look to them for opinions vs you who are just getting games that millions of other people are also getting. Also games from PS+ aren't free. You have to pay monthly and if you stop paying you can no lon...

You guys don't get it.

It's not about how much you play it, it's about cost to manufacture. Ferrari's cost more than Fords but I bet most people who own both put more time driving the Ford than the Ferrari that doesn't make a Ford worth the same.

A single player campaign has to have writers and voice actors and a lot of level design. A multiplayer only game only has very minimal voice acting very minimal story and the levels generall...

Well... at least he was honest in one part. That EA views quality by a metric of profit.

If EA can make more profit making lesser graphics, cutting parts to sell as DLC to have "longer lived games" and shutting off servers to sell the next game they will. That's an EA internal quality check.
