It wasn't corny. The author knew very well that his statement reeks of hypocrisy and that he's full of sh! t.
@Volkama
He siad: "Show me a $400 rig that handles BF4 like PS4..."
You reply: "Show me the ps4 that can run it as well as a PC. The $400 cap holds no water for people that can afford to spend more than $400."
You do realize that your response actually proves his point right?
People should be talking about this still. This is a major issue that affects the gaming industry as a whole.
She's both. The thing is she's a victim due to her villainy. In other words, she is reaping what she sowed.
Doesn't this basically line up with what sony stated 2 months ago? The fact that the ps4 is beating the xbone in the US I think is a testament to the accuracy of these findings.
Yeaaaah......soooooo....everyo ne please read the article before commenting. A lot of assumptions taking place here.
Read the article. The author doesn't think we should get free anything.
Hell no, why should we? It wasn't a hack, no personal date was accessed or lost and it was for only 2 days.
@sckipt
No they did not, they said it was in-game, in engine. At no point did they say it was cut scene. in fact two days later ND themselves stated that they didn't think it was good enough to be considered a cut scene.
@Cueil
That is absolutely 100% NOT true. That is what the gaming industry wants you to think. Some how or the other when the gaming medium moved from cartridge to disks they were able to get people to start believing they no longer had rights as gamers. That is sad beyond belief. I 100% own every atari 2600, nintendo and super nintendo cartridge and the game on it that I have. We need a lot LESS people thinking the way you are.
@incredibleMULK
Let me let you in on a little secret. I still own an atari 2600 with about forty two games and I still play jr. pac and solaris up to this day. That's the whole point. Atati practically went out of business and stopped making and supporting game systems more than 20 years now and I can still enjoy those games today. Only an idiot will want to pass up on that privilege.
@iamnsuperman
If it ever reaches that stage i'm quitting gaming. I will never support a gaming industry that completely takes away my rights to fully own my games.
Did you just say that a system being more powerful is subjective? Is the xbox one subjectively more powerful than a Sega genesis?
I really didn't want to comment on this article for numerous reasons but I just have to say this. I'm not gonna comment on whether I agree or disagree with the gist of this article but I have to point out one statement that is completly false: "an individual’s private life is completely inconsequential".
If the president or prime minister of a country was having an affair, his private life would not be considered "inconsequential". If one of the c...
You missed out the most important one: is it because it's a SONY game?
I'm pretty much fed up with sony games being judged by totally different standards than the rest of the industry. If the next gears of war comes out and has the same basic gameplay system you'll be hearing all over the internet how epic and exciting the gameplay and story is. But when it's a sony game it automatically becomes generic.
Funny, I see spencer working hard to destroy ethical gaming practices and any sort of positive public perception of microsoft as a gaming company. I also see him working hard in proving to us that they have no imagination as as a gaming company when it comes to developing new exclusive first party titles and that they will treat gaming like they treat every other division of microsoft "we can't do it ourselves so we'll just throw money at everyone else".
I don't think you understand. Some people here live in an alternate reality than ours. In that reality being five million consoles behind is no big thing and that gap can disappear with the release of 2 good exclusives.
In that reality stealing a 20 year old multiplatform won't piss people off and give your product a bad name, no, somehow it would encourage people to spend $400 to buy a "timed" exclusive.
In that reality a console that has ...
I'm betting that 2 weeks after the Chinese release, microsoft makes a statement claiming 10 million units sold. It's no accident that 5 million units got approved when microsoft is 5 million units behind the ps4.
They're gonna do the same thing they did everywhere else. They're gonna stuff the market with units, unsold xbones are gonna be lining store shelves and microsoft is gonna go into PR mode and claim MAGNIFICIENT sales and say they have leveled the play...
And yet it's biggest competitor is outselling it 2:1
What the hell is the point or reasoning behind your comment? Is it a desperate cry for attention? or is it practice in the art of trolling? Either way, you really need to get a freaking clue.
