You realize that "Google, Facebook, and Netflix..." are CONTENT PROVIDERS in some way, shape, or form.
To put it in terms you'll understand (maybe), that means that if net neutrality went bye bye then either these companies or their customers will bear the brunt of the fiscal impact, which would adversely affect their business. In short, they don't want to pay the ISP mafia and they don't want their customers to have to either.
Real...
@ Gho5t
So if I understand correctly, your ISP decided to cap your bandwidth and charge you more, which you attribute to the implementation of net neutrality? So if net neutrality is abolished, do you expect they will reverse that decision and uncap your bandwidth (Sidebar: just curious what monthly limit your ISP sets, if you don't mind sharing that)?
That absolutely sucks. No argument there. But does that not hint at the willingness of an ISP to...
Cancelation of Scalebound is definitely a bummer. Was really looking forward to this game. That said, what Platinum had shown so far didn't light the world on fire. Personally, I kept hoping we'd see more that capitalized on the promise, but apparently that just wasn't going to happen.
At the end of the day, we don't need another Lair - plenty of hype, but thoroughly underwhelming delivery.
Still sucks though...
I agree with gangsta red on this one. It was on Games with Gold a while back, and unfortunately it's easily one of the worst games I've played.
Usually I love a good platformer/adventure game, and I gave this an hour or so before it just became too boring to bother with. Typically I can find a redeeming quality or two in a game, but I would struggle to do so with The Deer God.
If I would have bought this game outright, I would have felt ripped...
Is that you Kwipkey? (Or is it Elmur Fudd?)
Hey genius, maybe try doing some math before you post something like this.
You realize that $21, 898 at a rate of $68 per hour equates to about 322 hours (80 hrs/week). Right? But I thought it was "just a few".
BTW, how much does your mother in law pay you to do this? Do you guys have a "special relationship", if you know what I mean?
Completely agree. Dead Space 3 deviated too far from the survival horror that made DS1 and 2 so exceptional. EA lost the plot on the series by inserting nonstop shooting and ambush sequences at every turn.
After they way they messed up DS3, maybe it's best if they let the series rest - especially if EA execs are still pining to capture the COD crowd.
Amazing isn't it?
As a Wii U owner, it's been infuriating to watch Nintendo crank out new 3DS titles on regular basis while there are next to no new games for the Wii U.
Nintendo could have made compensated for that somewhat by taking a page out of Sony's book and releasing at least some of their new titles on both their home console and portable. Instead, their failure to do anything of the kind magnified the lack of games for the Wii U - ...
Agreed.
I can see where some people may like games that only rely on touchscreen or gyroscope controls, but those are generally games that I just don't care for. To me, the lack of tactile feedback is a deal breaker.
So yeah, phone for communication & occasionally surfing the Internet. I'll take actual thumbsticks and buttons any day when it comes to gaming.
Cheers!
This. As an Alien(s) fan I was very disappointed in the Alien 3 movie, but the SNES game redeemed the name a bit. Excellent atmosphere and graphics for the time.
Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your experience re: the controls on this game. From reading reviews one would think the controls are unmanageable and take away from the game - perhaps a bit of drama on the reviewers' part then, aye?
Sweet. Always had my sights on a "Terga" K1. Must be the knockoff version of a Tegra, right? /jk
If you're in the market for a good platformer, this is NOT it. Was free with games with gold a while back and is easily the worst free game on either PS+ or GWG so far, imho.
The Deer God, clearly.
Heavy /s
I thought the same thing, and it may be worth looking again later.
Was going to pick up Black Ops 3 for $30 but it was sold out. I checked again an hour or two later and it had been restocked.
Remote play has served me nicely over the past couple of years (using with my PS4). It's become one of my favorite features.
As this article suggests, the issue is that some games don't have a solid workaround for the lack of L2/R2 buttons. Tends to vary from game to game. Generally an annoyance rather than a deal breaker.
Overall, remote play is still a positive in my book.
Cheers!
Best Buy had it listed for $20. Not sure if still available but it's the best price I've seen.
Awesome price on The Witcher 3, and absolutely worth a go at that price! Ditto for controllers - hard to find good sales, so very tempting.
Couldn't resist snatching the Fallout 4 Xbox One bundle off the MS store with the $60 code (will use on Just Cause 3) + free game offer. Also went for Mad Max and Until Dawn off Amazon - had been waiting on a price break for both of those.
Some outstanding games that should keep me busy well into 2016...
Ironically, I didn't wake up planning to buy any of this stuff, but there are some solid and pretty compelling deals out there for any gamer's t...
@ yeahok
You really don't get it huh?
Consider how much traffic Google and Facebook get. Now picture an ISP thinking, "how can I profit off that?".
Easy answer: throttle their bandwidth and favor a competitor (Bing, Myspace, whatever) who is willing to pay up to boost their use/market share/advertising.
So what you think of as "free" at the present wouldn't likely stay that way. Eithe...
