Not really comparable games. Nobody said you have to like Infamous. :)

Im sure they'll both be awesome in their own ways.

Maybe an incompatibility with your router? Ive had some weird inexplicable devices that don't play nicely together before.

I use ethernet now though, even though it meant drilling holes through various walls/ floors. :)

I suspect he's spending it more sensibly.

But your health is always depleting, so unless you're willing to stick infinite money in, waiting around is expensive.

Very useful in some situations though - like if your characters get stuck in certain conditions on either side of a wall and you can't get back to each other (lol)

I hope it ends up being a lot like the original, style-wise.

Red Dead Redemption was a sequel. The original has a bit of a cult following, and it did okay.

Remote Play can run really well over distant wifi.. I played assassins creed 4 in my breaks at work. Don't really need it streamed from gaikai when you can stream it to yourself. (Though that may be more convenient in some cases)

Such a good feature.

Derp, the gameplay is always in lossy compressed form. Screenshots are almost guarenteed to look better.

Unless they're highly compressed jpgs too.

More quality commentary from the n4g community.

kingdip90: Of course they're all people. Power fantasies are a lot different to overt sexualisation. Kratos is buff and doesn't wear much, true, but he isn't sexualised in that way at all. GoW is a funny example too given how all the women are portrayed in the GoW universe. (again, i don't really have a problem with it.)

Have you seen much of the Hawkeye initiative? Funny take on a similar issue.

Well, that is short sighted.

As far as i can tell the only things that sales figures could impact are
a) Number of players online .. (internationally, that's just as helpful as locally)
b) Developer support. (only a portion of global game development is done in the US)

So, if you care about sales at all you should care about sales globally. You want developer favour? You want your machine selling well in as many territories as possible, pa...

@kingdip90 Did i say I thought it was sexist? I said problematic. They're designs that are sure to be perceived as sexist by many. I don't entirely disagree with you. There's space for all sorts of approaches to design from trashy to considerate.

The false equivalence between Kratos and the female characters i listed though? If you seriously think they're at all comparable i dunno what to say.

it doesn't make you sexist but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense either.

Writers write about things they aren't all the time. I'm a guy and I'm working on a game with a female protagonist.. It has nothing to do with what I am, but does the story i want to tell.

4404d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

Some of those are problematic examples of female protagonists in games when the issue is sexism, but i see your point. They definitely weren't designed with female players in mind. (not inherently a bad thing in my book)

lolipop chainsaw, x-blades and wet.. lols.

(I have no problem with those games btw, loved lollipop chainsaw.)

I would say no.. There are a number of situations where it doesn't fit, but then you get ones where it works better having a female character.. Portal, TR, etc.

As long as there's a mix that's fine. I'd like to see another proper female fronted Assassins Creed for example, though.

I'm more for interesting characters than ones of any particular type. Good writing with more to say will lead us to more variety in characters and archetypes use...

I wish the family all the best.

I have a 5 yr old too, and just contemplating this sort of scenario is depressing.. At least his suffering is over now. Nothing left to be afraid of or worried about.

If the rumours of the family's financial troubles are true that makes me angry, if the care needed to make this little boy's last days bearable financially crippled the family - that's just wrong on so many levels.

I hope that's more than just 30 mins of hiding behind crates waiting for the alien to move slightly then legging it and shutting doors.. As appealing as that is we're going to need a bit of diversity.

It would be neat if this Ripley has an inconvenient pet too. Stupid cat!

How well does it work with a controller in left hand and mouse in right hand. That would be best of both, analogue movement and precise aiming. :)

I tried to get my PSMove navigation controller to work like that with little success. :(

These "is X doomed?!" Articles got annoying when they were mostly about the ps3, then nintendo.

They're going to get just as annoying about the X1.

It will survive. It doesn't need the greatest market share to either survive or have some great games.

I still very much doubt i'll ever buy one though.

I meant controversial with the players.. Like, ME3, or any platform specific title fanboys on the other side hate because it's not theirs. Probably not fair to compare the most expensive series in video game history to essentially a short interactive novel, but i should have been clearer.

I really only read quite sensible reviews of Gone Home.. Fraud is when the the parties in question (journalists) benefit financially from the lies. Everything else is likely chalkable to...

A factual review.. In oppose to all those fictional reviews I keep reading?

Its nice SP fans are enjoying the game.. I'll get it eventually. :D
