"If" that is your choice. Things are not always so simple as how you seem to want to look at them, some people's situations do not allow a move.
A gaming company that is your favorite hobby neglecting you as a willing customer simply because you don't fit their demographic is something of a very legitimate complaint.
I don't see location ad being an issue you can love the place you love and simply be out of range of an Internet provider. Microsofts heavy internet approach will limit it's user base and that is an issue if the competition can work anywhere there is electricity.
It would bring the community closer together that's for sure, that way jabs about specs would be more playful than hateful.
Why pay 60 dollars for a game that plays at a lower quality than those who pay the same and have the luxury of the internet?
That's one of my points.
Sadly the ISP'S have lobbied state governemnts and have successfully made it illegal for anyone but them to lay new cable and provide high speed internet in 27 states. This is why Google fiber has been so slow moving as is only planned for release in specific cities.
It sucks

So then what is the point in the cloud if games will still look amazing because of direct x 12? And if the do look better with cloud then what incentive is their for those with limited internet to pay the same for a game that won't work as well as it will for everyone else who has internet?
Also ugly Betty had a loyal and fierce fan base but it was not enough to stop it from being cancelled.
The devs can't code around the gpu where kinect was because many people still have and use the kinect and it will still be available seperately. That gpu space won't be freed up at all.
This sounds likely but without official word from Sony a cancelation is hardly "official".
For me personally it has a lot to do with the focus for online features/game modes/DLC/patches.
I want to buy a game, have it be the whole game and have it shipped in working order. I want to play alone and not be limited because I don't want to use the Internet in games.
I want a game to be story driven and have a lot of character like breath of fire 3 and suikoden. The closest game I have played in recent years that appeal to me are the tales series, th...
I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you mean interesting in a good way. It's my hope to bring people around to a more balanced way of thinking rather than seeing everything as an act of hatred. I really hope I can manage that with at least some people.
Back when I was just a boy in the 80's I remember having a Sinclair spectrum zx plus 2. Every week we used to buy a magazine and on the cover games made by indies working from home were included in cassette form.
A lot of these indies gained in fame and eventually either formed or joined bigger companies and the creations from the video game industry became much more innovative and imaginative in my mind because of these indies.
Indies certainly are the ...
You are welcome :) thankyou also for the courteous response.
First off I'm going to discuss the box art thing. This is a business decision, the sexism in question is not because the women end up on the back of the box it's why. It's sexist because young males are the target audience, if women were the target audience you can guarantee that the box art would reflect that. The women on the back is a product of market research based on what appeals to the target audience, it's business plain and simple that is NOT intently sexist. I also b...
It doesn't come down to the beliefs of the writer and director of the game it comes down to what the director feels is a better emotional hook for the audience.
The target audience is men.
Men react more emotionally to women women being in Peril than men.
For the story to have the same emotional hook because of males being kidnapped killed or hurt they would need to be significantly more back story to create said hook.
Is...
Misogyny literally means the hatred of women, I'm pretty sure there is no women hating here.
Misogyny is a strong word, people need to stop using it.
I agree that would make n4g a better place but you run the risk of crying foul about freedom of speech blah blah blah.
Unfortunately n4g isn't seen by the whole internet and these guys are everywhere. Something needs to happen in journalism in its entirety that somehow brings the journalistic integrity that they used to be famous for.
I for one like to be immersed in games, playing multiplayer games and fist bumping with dude bro's over Skype is very non appealing to me.
If I am playing a game that has me deeply immersed (the elder scrolls games come to mind) snapping anything including Skype would be a detracting factor to that experience.
This is not an innovation in gaming it's an obstacle to the enjoyment of games at least in my case.
I can see how it would a...
This is true of a lot of things not just gaming, we should be responsible for what we accept and believe and that is a perfectly logical deduction to make.
Unfortunately many people are emotional beings and news/opinion pieces often pull at the emotional core of a person and without thinking that person is ranting online in outrage over this that or the other.
If only everyone were logical ;) things would make much more sense.
Live long and ...
I agree Sony are leaning towards the internet side of things also but they as well as microsoft saw the always online backlash. I feel that they would be more willing to keep internet less play an option, it could be me being nieve and I understand that. All I can say for sure is that Microsoft are making these moves towards offline play being impossible/gimped now where as Sony have not mentioned any such plans outside of services like ps now which will be service available to more products ...
