Err! A billion android users would like to have a word with you.

>> Linux is crap.
Well that was a well put in three words no less. I am sure all professional IT people will take head of those pearls of wisdom.
I run Fedora 21 as my native OS and don't dual boot. If I need MS Windows I use VirtualBox although it was over two years ago since I last fired it up so I don't miss it.
If you are really into PC gaming (ie. "Games for Windows") then I would recommend MS Windows as your primary OS. Personally I am not into PC gaming preferring console gaming instead although I don't mind firing up an emulator (native to Linux of course) now and then.
That only works if you have a 1440p or 4K monitor a graphics card to drive them and content that will display at those resolutions.
While I am on the subject of content. If the content has an aspect ratio of say 16:9 (standard side HDTV) then a monitor that displays 1440p will have "letter-boxing" which means you normally will see black bars top and bottom unless you stretch or clip the image which will probably look odd.
I have a 55" 200HZ 3D HDTV does that count? :-)
I think most people who post on this form have some sort of PC, however whether they prefer PC gaming to console gaming or vice-versa or a mixture of both is entirely up to the gamer.
I have a gaming laptop which is now starting to get old so I either refurbish it or build my own. As for PC gaming verses console gaming I prefer console gaming although to play retro games (eg: NES, SNES, ...) I run an emulator.
As for mods well that is up to the player. The sa...
Actually not much different to the depiction of western females. I think as long as their breasts have bounce then the male audience is going to like it. :-)
Normally I am not into fighting games but this appears to be one really nice looking game.
Have you played a Souls game? Death and re-spawn at a main save (in this case "The Nexus" or a "Bonfire") can take many seconds. I have not counted the seconds since I normally stretch and reflect on what I have done wrong.
Anyway the solution to any game that has long load times after death is "Don't Die!". If you keep dying then maybe the game is too hard for you and you should consider an easier game.
People today are spoi...
If Bloodborne is anything like the Souls games from the developer "From Software" you can save anywhere in the game but when you die you have to go back to were your main save is and this may require you to spend over 30 minutes getting back to where you died in the first place.
In many ways people are spoiled after-all you could have a perma-death were you have to start from the beginning. Oh boy I an imagine the comments, yet some games did exactly that.
...
You are right this is only going to frustrate people who have an short attention span. In a game like this you just got killed and you have to start off where your main save is so I think a few seconds (less than a minute) to reflect on what you did wrong is not that bad.
Actually 40 seconds is enough time to get up and/or stretch then take a deep breath before getting back to the game. Your body and most likely your nerves will thank you for this. :-)
When the slim came out I was amused to see the unfolding of the model to some gaming reporters. All went well until one of the reporters picked up the Xbox360 slim while the disk was still in the drive and was active at the time.
Nice grinding noises could be heard and when the DVD was ejected there was a circular groove in the disk. Needless to say the Microsoft technical people and the reporters weren't overly impressed for different reason although I have to say that t...
Yes a suspend and resume can allow you to continue your game from were you left off, however it may be possible that some games have the facility to prevent you from suspending.
Games like the Souls series and now I assume Bloodborne allow you to save anywhere in the game even at the point of dying as do some other action RPG's such as Skyrim or Oblivion so I think I would trust a save feature in a game over a suspend although that would depend on the game.
I try not to look for spoilers for any game I am interested in mainly because I prefer going in "cold" and enjoy the challenge.
If I do have a major problem I normally try to solve it on my own and as a last resort go to the web and find out what I have done wrong and if possible what I should do to advance past were I was stuck, then I stop reading.
Well it depends on what type of games you like and the Souls series and now Bloodborne fall into the Action/Adventure RPG category. So I you like that category and are up for the challenge then this game will be great.
Of course you always have to remember that Action/Adventure RPG's are nearly always in the order of 20 hours at the low end to hundreds of hours at the high end and games made by "From Software" have always been on average 30 to 60 hours in length...
Once you get random generated dungeons then the replay value and challenge factor goes up enormously. I should also add that for people who are not really into Action/Adventure RPG's the frustration factor increases as well.
Personally - I think Bloodborne is shaping up to be a great game and in may ways I don't like to finish what I think is a great game.
As for the article I think the following comment made by Kasey Moore on the site sums it up: <...
In the Souls series you do die allot however you learn were the enemy is and what they are and take appropriate action. Well that is the idea and some people excel in this while others do so poorly that for them the game is total frustration.
I would say this to newbies "If you really like Action/Adventure RPG's and are up for the challenge then this game is definitely for you". If you are not willing to spend time on a game like Bloodborne or even the Souls ser...
If you have the original games and have a PS3 then you may wish to buy a graphically remastered game but in many cases there would be not be a compelling reason to re-purchase unless you really want to.
Of course if you don't have a PS3 then a remaster may be a good purchase as long as the price was reasonable.
You may be partially right but I think the main reason why there was no backwards compatibility was that the differences in architectures was quite significant although it was definitely feasible to have PS1 BC since the PS1 was basically PC architecture anyway.
While we are on the subject of architectures I think one of the main reasons not to have BC for Xbox360 games for the XB1 was also the differences in architecture, but why no BC for original Xbox games since that cons...
@DLConspiracy
We are talking about Uncharted remasters for the PS4. I am not aware of any Uncharted game for the PC so if you would like to play these games then either buy a PS3 or if it happens, a remaster for the PS4.
Either way no one is forcing you to buy or re-buy the games.
You always have people with more money than sense so I think they are the target demographic for these machines.
At the prices these Steam machines are now I very much doubt the casual gamer will buy them.
When you consider that you can use the Vita to play PS4 games it makes allot of sense to bring out a hand-held that has similar buttons to the Dual Shock 4. The ability to add L2 and R2 functionality to the existing Vita is IMHO a good move although you do have to purchase the add-on which is 4,298 yen (about $35).
