CRank: 5Score: 24630

The only thing Destiny has done right is the shooter mechanics. Everything else from the RPG elements to the MMO feel including the story so far... is crap. How long will I play it? I played the beta and that was it. Make the elements I care about deeper and I might come back, but I doubt it.

At the bottom of the pictures there is an "SD" and "HD". There is also a SLIDER on the picture starting at the left edge of the picture. The "HD" picture has more definition around the collar and sharper pattern on the shirt and cleaver. If you never played the game it would be the one to obtain if you could. However, it certainly isn't worth more of your money even if you receive all the DLC.

Lying requires intent. If you can prove they intentionally lied then you can make a case against EA. Otherwise, it is simply false advertizing. I doubt anyone intentionally lied to anyone, but at the same time a lot of companies make these types of errors whether intentional or not. I am explaining a possible scenario NOT excusing EA.

Once again I thought someone would reasonably include an operating system in the cost of building a computer. If you think those hot new PC games are mostly going to run on Linux or some other free operating system you're living in a dream world. For those who don't agree - after you buy and build your gaming PC: What is it good for? Answer: Nothing without an operating system. An operating system IS NOT an extra AND the only game in town is Windows until Valve figures out what the St...

96% of all software in China is pirated. So while DRM that might be inappropriate in other countries where enforcement is done China simply doesn't care.

What the PS4 has is momentum due to a variety of factors. Sony has done most of the right things a successful company can do to be the leader. Microsoft had disastrous launch policies and an overpriced box that people didn't appreciate. It also comes down to a more powerful machine and whom do you trust? The more powerful machine is mostly a non-issue except or the completely anal. Before the current console launch whom to trust wouldn't really matter, but now?

Analysts seem to know money and can follow it to predict where you need to invest and not invest. What these people do is profile a group of people and say this is who they are and what they want. The main problem doing this with the game industry is they don't understand gamers.

Dark Souls didn't pretend to be or was marketed as anything other than what people expected of the game. In other words the majority of people felt Destiny was oversold by the developer or publisher. Also anything you want to know about Dark Souls you can find in-game whereas Destiny makes you hunt for codes to unlock information on a website as 1 example of stupidity. If I'm playing the game the 1 thing I don't want to do is take myself out of it and look something up on a web...

Pachter has a blind spot and I wonder if he even realizes it? His main problem is he sees things in terms of only money. People do things for reasons other than money. I don't doubt he is correct on Microsoft preparing for life after consoles, but that life is at least 2 or 3 console generations away. When mobile gaming value exceeds the value of producing a game for a dedicated console that can connect to that HDTV that is when the death of consoles will happen. Right now studies sh...

Could use it as a jump point to infiltrate the rest of the network AND because the packets are supposedly coming from the printer the anti-virus and firewall software wouldn't probably see it as a threat. Therefore, it is a very big deal. However, at my company the first thing that would be done as the printer arrived would be to add a username and password then restrict usage to the local network. You could manage the printer remotely, but not update the firmware. That would require ...

For me this game IS CRAP. What is important in a game for me is these elements: story, RPG aspects, character distinctiveness, exploration, and variety. Destiny fails in every way in each of these areas. The only thing Destiny is good at is being a multiplayer FPS shooter. Admittedly that is very good, but it was marketed and sold as something different. Well, all other aspects of the game other than what Bungie is known for is crap.

Destiny has excellent shooter mechanics, but a boring story, loot in the form of armor and weapons that are all to similar to each other. Beyond the graphics the story is what usually draws people in. You think the science-fiction aspects of Star Wars or Star Trek mean anything without the main story of politics or exploration. George Lucas based Star Wars on how he saw politics working or not working and Star Trek was about hope and change. Both gave us great scope for the main story and...

The problem is making a console that is truly next gen, but can be affordable to millions of possible users. That is the 1 thing this dude isn't considering. Sure a bunch of people will have buyers remorse, but I doubt the majority of those 10 million PS4 owners or 5 million XB1 owners could afford a console that could push a 4k video game. The 1 true advantage they have is price. I think the last PC build cost at least $384.00 (USD), but like all the others where is the operating sys...

One of the few games where I can actually tell without trying very hard that improves graphics from 1 generation to the next. Most games especially those that people get all hot and bothered about (fanboy/fangirl) the graphics are usually so subtle or indistinct that you really can't tell from images.

It probably also means the story is in the future not the past since the Salarians were not in contact with the humans until after the First Contact War with the Turians. The Mass Effect trilogy happens around 20 years after those events I think.

I added up the cost as they named the parts and prices. After finalizing the price they then mentioned Windows can be had for $90 or less online. This is true of course, but what isn't accurate is the $380 because they DID like most people NOT include the operating system in the build price. How anyone expects to build a PC and then not have an operating system to run on it isn't being honest. And no, a free version of Linux is NOT a substitute for a computer expected to play vide...

Something like this is a matter of perspective. Even taking away 1/3 of users who switched from Microsoft to Sony who still might have subscriptions on Live because they haven't run yet there are far more users on Live than PS+. Those numbers are fact. Although personally I am glad Sony is finally giving Microsoft competition because the whole free games thing was hinted at from the beginning but until Sony started doing it Microsoft felt no pressure to innovate in this direction.

First, what he said was it was locked to go no higher than 60 FPS not 30. You still have to manually edit the file that controls the settings to do so if you want to go up to 60. Second, this was probably done for stability of older systems that can't quite keep up with the game. The vast majority of even PC gamers can't afford rigs that can every graphical effect at maximum resolution.

Note: Borderlands 2 is only free-to-play until Sunday, then you can purchase it at a discounted price. NOTE THE "FREE-TO-PLAY".

This is 1 of those everybody does it kind of thing so it isn't really news at all. If the games are in development then it shouldn't be an issue. It isn't as if this will be the actual game they are selling you now is it?
