Well, to be fair, it is a modern invention in terms of being "gay" as a defining status and lifestyle. But you are correct that people in many different past cultures and civilizations engaged in both homosexual and heterosexual activity. So games depicting that would be accurate, whereas depicting same-sex marriage within a game about ancient cultures would be inaccurate. Not that they really need to go for accuracy.
People are asking why they are pushing this, b...
This is what I want to put to the test. I'm sure a handful of people would stick to this, but most wouldn't for a game this big. Eventually this test will occur, and I can't wait.
Yep. This also would have been a great one to force a lot of the backwards "I need discs" people to just buy the game digitally. A lot of them say they would never buy a digital game, but if it came down to missing the last of us 2 or waiting for it, I doubt they would have.
I thought so for sure! A Gears game on PC before Xbox? Hard to believe, regardless of genre.
Just don't click them. I mean, I see Polygon and my instinct is to ignore them, but when I see Polygon trying (again) to damage Naughty Dog, I'm definitely not going to click.
This must be wrong. A bunch of people posted nonsensical statements that they were holding TLOU 2 as a PS5 launch exclusive (even though it was made for PS4), and because there would be no reason for that to happen, I still believe that.
I'm one of those weird people whose thumbs are located in the same place on each hand, so this works for me.
Yeah, people have greatly exaggerated how bad it is. People got really upset by the marketing and just decided it was going to be terrible, and most didn't even play it. It wasn't as good as BF1, but the quality difference is not what some pretend it is.
I didn't even think about this, but yeah, I guess if you have to factor in PC users having traditional HDDs, you won't be able to do anything design wise that relies on the SSDs in the consoles. And now that even Sony is moving in the direction of putting exclusives on PC, that's a pretty limiting issue.
Didn't you get the memo that they're about to announce Lockhart at 4 TF, so TF are no longer the super important measuring stick they were right after the PS5 reveal?
Well, judging by the fact that we are having the same argument across multiple posts, it seems like we have heard different rumors. It seems pretty clear Lockhart is real, but apparently you have heard that only the GPU will be different, while I have heard that the CPU will be slower as well, and that there will be less system RAM. I guess we won't have to wait long to find out.
"They will both share the same games."
This is my point. Games made for the Lockhart, which will have a slower CPU in addition to the much lower TF (interesting how TF is the biggest thing when comparing 12 to 10.3, but means nothing when comparing 4 to 12), so games will be limited by what it can do design wise.
Also, I know it's meant to be cheaper, which means it, rather than the Series X, is actually going to be the primary next gen Xbo...
It's almost like they couldn't really take advantage of the system's power because they had to design around the base version of the console.
No, I get that. That's the point-the only difference will be scaling. There won't be anything made for Series X that is only possible on that powerful of a machine.
What about someone who understands that the gap between 4 and 10.3 is a lot larger than the gap between 10.3 and 12?
Too bad all next gen Xbox games are going to be based on the 4 TF Lockhart version of the console (and thus meaning sheer power of the Series X will only mean technical advantages like FPS and resolution, not any sort of gameplay or design features only possible on that system).
Hoping Sony sticks with one model this time.
You mean their exclusives that will be designed around the 4 teraflop Xbox Lockhart, and then just upgraded to Series X? Those? I doubt it. That's like saying Sony should have been afraid of Xbox One X exclusives because it was more powerful than PS4 (and Pro): it didn't matter because games are limited by the weakest system they are designed for (in that case the launch XONE). So unless there is going to be a cheap version of the PS5 as well (which I'm hoping against, but who kno...
I feel like the people trying to push streaming now are probably a lot of the same ones who said that motion controls were the future in 2006, that mobile games were the future in 2010, that Free to play games were the future in 2014, and that say every generation of consoles is going to be the last generation.
Between this and the terrible Mandalorian teaser, IGN is apparently competing with itself for the "least funny thing on the internet today" and is both winning and losing.
It's a good concept, but the controls are clunky, and there are an unnecessary number of different experience/currency systems you accumulate to upgrade in different ways.
