Self regulation does not work. Who watches the watchers.
Now that's how you should talk about gaming! Joy, and emotional content. Nintendo, already have this, Sony, by all accounts get it. MS? Clueless, it appears at the moment(all statements, just my opinion). It's not just about power, not just about exclusives, not just about how many games. It's about games that 'bring joy and touch your soul'.
This is a tricky one to call. Personally, I will always buy physical, given a choice. Although, it does seem like the industry want rid of physical, primarily because it gives the gamer choice. Software companies don't like us having a choice, because it's bad for the bottom line. If I buy a physical copy, I can play the game whenever I want for as long as I want. Then, if I choose, I can sell it. Someone else can buy my game cheap, and repeat the process. Or, as in my case, I collect...
The only effective way is regulation, but not self regulation, as they are trying to con us with at the moment. Slap an age appropriate sticker on all games that contain this MT's. They may not listen to gamers, I mean why would they, but they will listen to the courts.
EA, like Rome,will eventually fall. And of course, they won't believe it's possible, even as it happens.
I don't believe you are correct about net neutrality. Someone naming something that has existed for many years, doesn't give them ownership of the idea. It really has been around before Obama. This is not a new concept.
I'm only commenting on this, because this site is becoming plagued by such inane opinion pieces. Here is my response to the headline. One assertion is fact, the other is subjective. I'll let you guys argue over which is which. Now, please, stop already.
While some have made excellent attempts to explain net neutrality, they have done so on the basis that 'Net neutrality' is the status quo, I don't believe it is. True net neutrality would mean equal and unfettered access to information on the internet with no bias to any particular supplier of that information. Leaving the ultimate choice to the individual as to which information they choose after being presented with all available options,without bias . Do you see where I'm g...
ZZZzzzzz. Blah,blah Xbox. ZZzzzz. Blah,blah. No I won't like it, you can't make me like it. Blah,blah.
Let's try not to confuse morality with legality,here. What the kid did or didn't do from a moral or ethical standpoint, is debatable. Whether you consider his parents 'good parents' or the kids actions dastardly, really doesn't matter when it comes to the law. The law is concerned with the law, not with what's right or wrong, moral or ethical. A big concern to me is how software companies especially, consider they have the power to include in their contracts anything a...
Do you remember scatching the skin off your knuckles when catching them on the reverse side of the PCB's as you inserted another. And making all cables parallel, serial, etc. By hand, with 60/40. Repairing Hdd's at components, because they cost so much even for a 10MB you couldn't afford to bin them!. Yeah, that's what I said, 10MegaByte. Heehee. No universal TCP/IP, no internet, just BB's, no windows, just CLI based. ah, well. Thibking about it, it's much better now ...
Yeah, I agree. Sometimes console games have poor frame rates. Usually, however, that's due to the developers not adhering to the hardware spec, not the hardware itself. Console hardware is weak, but it's a known entity. To the guys above -Kevnb and Cobra951. Guys, by giving recommendations on how to fix stutter, I believe you are actually proving my point. It's the wide number of variables that can cause problems on PC. I'm not saying it does that all the time, I'm just s...
Actually, you have a valid point,imo. For all the power of PC's it can still be difficult to get a super smooth play through, even on modern rigs. People love to boast about SLI this, and Xfire that, but often this goes hand in hand with micro stutter. It's not about power, it's about compatibility. Everything from a motherboard chipset to a GPU bios is reliant on all other components being ideally matched, and that doesn't always happen. When it works, it's great, but som...
This game isn't doing too well,commercially. It has nothing to do with a 14yr old cheating. With that in mind, it is highly unlikely that Epic can win this, and quite frankly, they shouldn't. However, the legal system is as corrupt as any other, we see this time and again. To Epic. You don't take 14yr old boys to court for alleged cheating in a video game, you just don't do that. 14yr old's cheat because they don't have the maturity to understand beyond their own selfi...
PnP saved the day. Way back in the days of the ISA bus, it was necessary to manually configure all your adapter cards with an unique IRQ, I/O address and often a DMA channel also. When you consider you only had a few IRQ's to play with, and many were already system reserved, it could become quite difficult get all cards working. But at least HDD's weren't in general usage at the time and 256K RAM was more than adequate. Oh, 90's not 70's, sorry. :) Nineties was a doddle!
"Thats exactly how crap like communism happens." Remind me, who exactly is doing the fearmongering?
I suppose you suggest self regulation, because we know that always works!
I strongly disagree. You know well the arguments you use are bogus. The fact remains ISP's are a cartel, nothing more,nothing less. They wield immense power, and that kind of power should always be regulated in the interests of fairness and equality.
ZZzzzzz. Blah, blah. Xbox, blah, blah. Zzzzzz. PS4, blah, blah.
I agree.
