^ Even if you overlook shooters which often feature larger multiplayer playercounts on PC, and games which have mod-support that allows user-content to the game, there's still the fact that visuals and framerate do infact have an impact on the experience.

If visuals were meaningless, then we wouldn't be seeing HD remasters this gen.
Framerate, meanwhile, has a noticeable impact on gameplay. Higher framerates not only means smoother gameplay, but it also means ...

^ Among the upcoming release, BlackOps2 is about the only one that can't be bought for less than $60.
All the other remaining games can be bought digitally for less than $50 (including Dishonored, Hitman, MoH, MostWanted, Crysis3 and CompanyOfHeroes2).

His remarks seem a bit... childish.

Getting minecraft certified isn't a bad thing, it just ensures that people get a smooth experience, and acts as a sort of seal of approval.
Don't see how that jeaopardizes PC as an open platform as long as people can just download/install uncertified applications.

Could sworn this was a MoH article. Thumbnail fooled me.
Damns these games for looking so alike.

Fans want BadCompany 3 and/or Battlefield 2143 and/or MirrorsEdge 2.

EA/DICE makes Battlefield 4.

Huzzah.

^ As I said, most users here aren't involved in the approval process.

Post-approval, there's a reporting feature, but hardly anyone uses that (admittedly, it probably doesn't serve much purpose here as it is just an opinion article)
There's a rating you can give to the site, hardly anyone uses that again.

The only thing people seem to do is comment/respond (which does nothing as there's not much to actually discuss here), get in pe...

@Machioto
How would a negative article get 'sanitized'?
You need a few approvals to get an article up; a majority population isn't going to be able to stop that. (Not to mention that the most users here don't ever approve articles anyways)
In fact, some of the people who approve negative PS3 article are PS3 fans themselves, either because they can handle criticism, or they just want to watch the world burn. At least two of the people who approved this a...

I gotta ask, why did you approve the article?

The subject matter has gotten tiresome, and the article itself offers no new points of discussion.

PS3 fanboy site =/= pro-PS3 articles get approved

The majority of the people here are PS3 fans though. That's undeniable. You can just look at the comments, or look at the front page where a weekly PS-Store update is one of the hottest stories.

@Persistant

It depends how the offloading happens.
If it happens after the GPU is capped out, then that's fine. It helps people with low-end hardware.

If it happens before the GPU is capped out, then it will actually hurt people with better hardware because a CPU will do things slower than a GPU would.
Since most PC gamers actually have a strong GPU, offloading to CPU isn't going to be seen as a desirable thing.

"Mass Effect & The Witcher 2? Who cares? It's on PC < MGS4 & Demon's Souls anyday.
Left 4 Dead? Even if those titles are on PC already as well, The Last Of Us is really helping me forget about it."

I don't think those games are comparable.
MGS4 is not an RPG.
DemonsSouls isn't much of an argument when DarkSouls exists. (Although I suppose the same holds true for MassEffect1 as well)
TLOU and L4D are vastly d...

That has more to do with N4G's community than the media itself.

For some reason, a negative article on Sony gathers heat up pretty quickly, mostly because people here feel the need to respond.
That's why you have mostly no-name sites making a poorly written anti-Sony article, because they know that users here will give it attention.
I hardly ever see those kinds of articles becoming a 'top story' on other sites.

Should've went with an i5 and use the extra dough for a better GPU.
... assuming that your primary intent was gaming.

Now you'll have to live the rest of your life with remorse over your poor hardware decisions. Muhahaha.

It's been PC, with a controller.
That's what they do with most of their games, unless specified otherwise (like the MP footage of FarCry3 which I believe was on PS3)

I wonder if they'll cripple the PC version with DRM again.

EDIT: Sony's E3 conference had co-op FarCry3 footage on PS3.
It starts at the 44:30 mark:

Minecraft has had a bigger impact on creative gaming than LBP so far. Though that might also have to do with it selling more units and thus being more popular.

Maybe in the long run LBP might have a greater influence. I certainly hope more console games in the future allow users to create their own content.

Depends on what's causing the difficulty.
Some games are difficult because there is genuine difficulty which you can overcome with practice... other games are difficult because they have broken mechanics (like a camera that won't point in the right direction)

Personally, I like it when a game gives options. MGS and DeusEx are two that come to mind off the top of my head; you can play it easy, or make it harder by setting arbitrary limits like not using any wea...

^ Hmm, didn't they they had cosmetic DLC. If PS+ gives those for free, then I'm even happier.

At least now I'll look fashionable while I get pounded by the pros on tuesday.

Which add-on content are they talking about?

I thought Starhawk's DLC was supposed to be free to begin with.

Linux has nothing to do with modding.

You already have a game on PS3 that can be modded, and that is LittleBigPlanet. The creation tools are essentially modding tools.
