I love how PC gamers STILL think that FPS is THAT important.
The human eye is incapable of noticing a difference above 60 fps...so when this article states that you can turn it up to 120, it's pointless.
Further, the difference between 60 and 30 fps is so negligible, only those with EXTREMELY superior vision can notice.
This has been proven TIME AND TIME AGAIN. But that's ok. Go ahead PC gamers, keep wasting your time.
Microsoft fixed the RRoD, and even replaced consoles. Sony didn't do anywhere NEAR that for the outage...but that's neither here nor there. Like most Sony fanboys, you attack with RRoD, which hasn't been heard of in over a year. Nice job.
Also: NO ONE'S ACCOUNTS have been HACKED on XBL. Just because some idiot kid uses the word "hack" doesn't make it so. What they do is phishing. I'm not going to go into what it is, but suffice it to ...
I got two free games when XBL went down for a single week due to it being over capacity over the holidays.
PSN goes down for a month, and personal data is stolen, I get two free games
XBL goes down for 4 days, and no data is stolen, and I get two free games.
Hmmmm.....
What I love is the utter lack of integrity in this article.
1: You can remove your cc from XBL. Not easy, but not crazy hard either
2: The first "hack" he mentions was actually a hack on IW's servers...not MS'. PSN users had the same problems
3: The second "hack" he mentions was a GLITCH in the game. Has nothing to do with networks whatsoever.
Finally, to anyone at all who says "no networ...
Because despite what the fanboys here would have you believe:
Microsoft's security is top notch. Look at what's ACTUALLY been hacked. Sony's ONLINE NETWORK, and a bunch of forums and websites. Which one doesn't fit?
Sony's online network was, simply put, NOT secure enough. Just like websites and forums, PSN made it easy. MS doesn't.
I'm quite sure that the hackers have TRIED to hack MS...but they can't...
@Earbus/flashXIII:
I agree it will make people paranoid, but the average consumer shouldn't worry about this at all. These guys are hacking major corporations...not your porn stash...lol.
This isn't actually "new". It might be new for Okaloosa, but not in general. There are 5 Gamestops in my area that have the same policy.
It's not that the customer is being treated like a criminal, it's pawn laws. Pawn stores require all of that information, because if a person walks in, and sees THEIR TV that was stolen a week ago, the pawn store can track down the person who sold it to them.
To be honest, I'm not sure why th...
So...wait...the writer of this article thinks that there is a 99% chance that Fable 4 will be announced...
But only an 80% chance that Forza 4, which was announced LAST year, will be playable?
Are you daft?
How did this article get approved with that title?
There's no "DLC" available for Mortal Kombat. There are new AVATAR items, inspired by Mortal Kombat. These have no bearing on the game, whatsoever.
Misleading title is misleading.
You guys are reading into it too deeply. It's pretty obviously PRE-ORDER content.
I'm assuming that "Bloodbath" is a "survival" mode, and will likely be a free download a few weeks after launch anyway. Everything else is just items for use in single player. Nothing major.
LOL @ me. I guess I didn't get the joke. Honestly, I've re-read it, and it still sounds like he THINKS that's what happened.
LMAO at your ignorance Pl4sm4. ANON is still around. no one got "executed" or sent to Ukraine. Wow.
@Brutally: Dude, I was making a joke about PSN being down for so long. I'm a gamer through and through, and can't wait to see all the amazing new product coming out of E3 next week.
I'm GOING to E3 for that very reason. It was nothing more than an underhanded jab at Sony.
I'm not an MS fanboy, despite what some might tell you...lol. I can't wait to see Uncharted 3, super excited about the new Nintendo console, and I'm pretty sto...
@Femship: LOL! That's what I was saying. It was a bad joke...
But yeah, I don't honestly think anyone but Nintendo can "win" this E3. They have a new console. No one else does. It's really that simple.
They really only need to do ONE thing to win E3. Have working Xbox Live.
How am I wired wrong? Activision and Sony are destroying the videogame industry. They are being allowed to do so, because casual gamers are the majority now.
BlackOps was an absolutely TERRIBLE game, yet it's the highest preordered game of all time.
Sony just lost 77 million users personal data, but everyone seems to have forgiven them.
Amazing. I'm not the one wired wrong...I just come from an era of gaming where customers w...
LMAO! Idiots who repurchased a 360 after RRoD are exactly that. MS replaced those consoles for free.
Sony didn't do that with PSP's though did it?
And what exactly is wrong with Kinect? I love my Kinect.
LMAO @ Istanbull. That kind of mentality is exactly why this industry is falling apart. Sony keeps lying to their customer's (in more ways than JUST E3, mind you) and idiot fanboys keep supporting them.
@Nitrowolf: I think my wording is throwing you off.
While KZ2 DID in fact, look great, it did NOT look as good as the original trailer. That's the claim I'm making, and as anyone with eyes can see in my article, I have put the two videos side by side. The game does not look as good as the initial trailer.
And again, as it seems linking my previous two articles doesn't seem to have mattered....This is an opinion column. I don't write one...
LMAO Darkmode. HZ and FPS are two VERY different things. I never said anything about refresh rate.
Kevnb: I didn't say it's not noticeable. Only that it's negligible. MOST people can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps. Those that CAN, are only seeing a slight difference.
