That's how it's been for years now. AMD releases their flagship card in a new series, trumps Nvidia, Nvidia releases their next big thing, trumps AMD, AMD does the same, rinse & repeat.

At this point, it basically just boils down to which color you like best, Green or Red! (Ultra-simplification hyperbole for comedic effect, but you get the point.)

Funny how he says gamers' supposed addiction to games has made them retarded, when it was his very obsession with trying to demonize games in the first place that made *him* retarded (as well as him losing his right to be an attorney, lol.)

Driving from one end of the map to the other in SA would probably take 5~10 minutes. I remember that 30 minute stat, I think it was a magazine who did that, and that was for walking across, not driving.

Shit like this is why I prefer to simply order stuff online and have it brought straight to my house. No need to wait in some long-ass line for ten years just to get a game and walk out right after.

Sucks that this guy got annihilated by some random scumbag POS lowlife, though. Wouldn't ever live in London.

They need to wrap their heads around the EsRAM? No, what needs to happen is people need to stop thinking that the EsRAM is some magical thing that will boost graphics performance tenfold or something.

Ryse started out as a 360 game, has been in development longer than most other X1 titles, yet they couldn't even get it at 1080p native, even though MS themselves "confirmed" it was 1080p native not too long ago. Come on, they've been lying about a lot of thin...

All because of a secret message on the back of a map?

"ONLY x86?! WHAAA???

I SERIOUSLY thought they can utilize both. "

What the hell are you talking about? Using both Power PC *and* x86 at the same time? WTF would be the point?

It's a good thing that they're only using x86/x86-64 right now. Makes it much easier to not only get the games made, but also easier to port them to other systems (XB1, PC) and back with less problems.

No point in a petition. The PS4 and PC version of this was already mentioned in the game's code; "ORBIS" "PC". Google is your friend.

Also, Nvidia let it slip earlier this month that the game is coming to PC anyway. Rockstar is doing what they usually do -- release the game on consoles initially then release it on PC/next-gen later. Main reason why they haven't been talking about the PC/next-gen versions is to maximize profits for the current-gen r...

I wonder if Super Rub'a'Dub sold more than this.

Beyond Good & Evil bombed in sales when it first released.

Psychonauts is another game that received immense critical praise upon released, and also tanked in sales.

Just because a game is good doesn't mean it will sell well. Likewise, just because a game sales well doesn't mean it's good, lol.

Troy Baker is Troy Baker, lol. He's a musician, does a LOT of voice acting jobs for video games and anime.

Basically the joke here is that since Nolan North has voiced at least one character in virtually every game released this generation, that "Troy Baker" is another one of his aliases or Troy is a clone, etc. because Troy also does a megaton of voice-overs for games and anime.

Basically they have both done a crapload of work in the industry...

BF2 Modern Combat was actually an awesome game. I played the PS2 version back in the day and it was hella fun, and that was even after I had already experienced 1942 and BF2 prior to that.

I still contend that BC2 was better than BF3, and I saw a lot of PC players say the same thing. BF3 just had too much wrong with it, just wasn't digging that game. I gave it a chance, but meh. Generally had a much better time with BC2.

Only real differences between th...

Turok was a way of life game back in the day. I remember the 2007 game, it was actually fun to play, but one hilarious thing about it was how overpowered the knife was. You could annihilate just about anything with the knife in that game.

It's true though, this generation really did kill off a lot of great series.

I wonder what happened to just using God-mode? That's actually one of the origins of such cheat codes from back in the day (besides debugging and QA testing) -- devs would just have some type of God-mode enabled for presentation purposes, so they wouldn't waste time restarting from a death and ruining the flow of the presentation.

Reminds me of that one guard from MGS1, on the Heliport, the one who just sits in the corner sleeping most of the time by the camera, XD.

A PS2 dev already said a few months ago that the reason the CPU performance is the way it is, is because the game isn't really multi-threaded well enough. The game mainly runs on one dominant thread and only lightly uses another thread.

This is less of a problem with Intel CPU's because of the stronger single-threaded performance, but people with AMD CPU's get the shorter end of the stick.

Since they had to re-do a lot of the code to optimize it...

Agreed. The constant reminding about "zomg gaiz we gata hurri or we'll all dye!!11one!" becomes overbearing after a while.

I mean, I played the whole trilogy multiple times before, and I always had more fun doing the random side missions and more minor side-stories than I did trying to take out the reapers or what have you...

Hope the next game doesn't have some generic "build up your forces to go combat huge threat that we never stop...

Comparing people getting paid for showing off their bodies to a pilot in a war dropping napalm on enemy targets is a pretty ridiculous comparison, honestly.

Whether or not you think stripping is morally just doesn't really make any difference. I never said any job is "okay" just because it's a job. I was specifically talking about stripping.

As for a strip club being a "hive of objectification", that may be true, but once again i...
