I'm not into interactive novels, so I haven't played any Telltale offerings; but it isn't hard to believe that they are better at storytelling than the pure action games from which they derive. Storytelling is their main purpose.
That's completely inaccurate. If you use a router, like most of us do, it manages several connected devices, so they can use the same ISP-provided IP address at the same time. That means that if one particular device on your end needs a port assigned to it, so that someone out there can communicate with it through that port, the router must be told to forward that port to that one device. That's all.
Playing within the confines of the rules is never cheating. If they decide something is unfair, they can change the rules, or add new rules; but a week before the event is brutal.
Completely agree. But they changed the rules one week before the event. If they had done so a few months earlier, I'd have no problem with it at all.
Think of it in terms of another sport. Certain moves are allowed, and you get good at it by mastering those moves. Then a week before the big event, they make those moves illegal. Now you're no longer competitive against whoever got good by mastering different moves. Motorsports: Your engine is competitive because certain intake modifications are allowed. A week before the race, those mods are made illegal.
I didn't understand until I read the story. Yeah, this isn't something you do to participants a week before the competition. A couple of months before, maybe.
If the algorithm that determines visibility ignores indie games, they sink into the huge piles of garbage infesting Steam, now that Valve have opened the floodgates to whoever wants to play game developer, with zero quality control. I don't blame the good indie developers for feeling let down.
How the hell is the newer related story failed as a duplicate? I don't see Jason Schreier's Kotaku article in that headline linked or even referenced anywhere here.

I'd be more surprised if these didn't appear on the Switch at some point.

It was a departure from the more turn-based earlier games. Strictly speaking, XII is still turn based, but it's wrapped in a real-time package. You can game the combat system by running away, then charging the enemy as the attack bar is about to fill up. Whack away, repeat. Give orders to your party, change the party member you're possessing on the fly. World is 3D and feels open (though it really isn't). Overall, probably my favorite FF up until then, mostly because of the v...
I didn't pay for it. From Software has convinced me that they are too elite for me, and don't want my money.
I like what you're saying, but the way you're saying it derails its intent. Let me help you:
"The issue with Sony and censorship is not funny. It's very serious, and out of control. If gamers don't start acting soon, it will only become worse. If any of you care to put a stop to it, start doing something that will make Sony, and any other company, know that you find this unacceptable, that you have no plans to support them if they don't respect ...
No, man. You're dreaming if you believe that. 9th-gen consoles won't touch the performance of the top PC hardware out right now. I do believe they will offer killer performance in their price range, though.
The cost of the tech has been imposed on the market without a clear benefit. Disruptive new technologies are seldom good in their first iteration. They need a couple or more generations to get right. So this is the bleeding-edge gen for Nvidia, with pressure on AMD to keep up. Will they? Can't say. I doubt it.
I confess that I want competition for Nvidia so they are forced to keep sane prices for the best graphics hardware. In other words, I don't really want to buy AMD; I just want them to keep Nvidia in their place. Perhaps there's enough of this sentiment out there that these companies realize it, emboldening one and demoralizing the other?
Radeon has always struck me as the also-ran. The drivers have had more issues. The hardware tends to run way hotter, chipping ...
According to the story, they *are* leaving them up for one more year (end of March, 2020). After the servers go away, the offline parts of the game will continue to work as before.
I understand the frustration. This is the part of online gaming that its fans hope will never come. But eventually, it does. I don't know why they're shutting down these servers when the game belongs to the current generation. That does seem premature.
I don't see why not. If it works offline, it will continue working as long as you have it, and the console. Now, if it were an online-only game, bye bye.
Heheh! Millions of white and green guns to wade through to find a few good blues and purples (and I can't wait).
Your op ed decrying the call for more accessibility is insulting. How would more people enjoying the game through an easier play mode ruin your experience with it through the difficult mode?
