In the article it does say that the 'excessive' gamers are over 31 hours a week, im similar to you in i play bout 2-3 hours a day but that makes it to be about 21 hours a week which isint much more than the average 19 hours that apparantly is ok.
while its an interesting idea it seems this research is out to blame gaming, it states that a socially akward person is more likely to be an excessive gamer, n therefore is more likely to be depressed. Its blaming gaming when...
Holy crap :O
If they actually do this then ELPRESADOR is going to have a field day about it, lyk that he can control activision and treyarch, can imagine it already, and he hasnt even knocked any trees down this time :P
Looks like the battle is really being set, there trying to poke holes in the charges, Geo managed to wint before on the iPhone case but this is very different sony arent going for the jailbraking itself its the copyright software infringment and publicly relesing the root keys which he has no right over
I'm not sure how the leagal side of this works but surly Sony have a strong case on him, either way guess we'll see soon enough
EDIT. why disagrees ?...
Its really good to see some proper JRPG fans here, great read stirs up some memories despite not having played some of the games mentioned just a shame i cant feel them so much now, I'm getting bored of replaying FF7 on my PSP n every JRPG I hear about coming to consoles seems to be always discarded or given a terrible review that puts me off, WKC was given some bad reviews n i avoided it for that which i kinda feel bad about, resonace of fate was good but i borrowed it from a friend n th...
GeoHot, your not cool
Edit - Fair point he probably doesnt care, hell i cant hack or do anything lyk that with computers or a PS3 so guess he's got some skill to do it, somehow he just annoys more than Fail0verflow they seemed less arrogant than Geo
Also the possibility of this leading into piracy is there and not a good thing, sure it probably wont kill anything major but doesnt make it right as people will go out n do it if they can, way to early to s...
Reminds me of a youtube Cod Booster Justice video where Duke takes out the trash there, tho this had some amazing shots.
Somehow loading a heli with TNT jumping out n blowing up another heli with it is just dam beautiful
an engineer who likes to dismember things ?
is your real name Isaac ?
Agreed, I seem to be much more linear with games even open world n RPGs all, like im playing InFamous now but all i do is go from mission to mission n do what each mission tells me to do, sure theres varity n thats good but then 'linear' games also have variety in missions/chapers
Apart from GTA (maybe RDR - I havent played it tho) who does anything but the missions ? why i really dnt understand the concept, sure AC2 was great i enjoyed being in the city with the ppl ...
some multiplats lyk you said are looking very good but i think at least 2 very possible GOTY for 2011 are Little Big Planet 2 and Uncharted 3
personally those i think are gona be 2 of the best n biggest games of 2011, but yh ME3 n skyrim look good gona b a good year anyway
:P leave it out we wernt born yesterday (tho you clearly live in 2007)
its all about the port if its done well theres no noticble difference. Bayoneta and FF13 are noticable but thats not 90% n its not always in the 360s favour
I agree gamers can n should evolve, as the generations of games n consoles gone by so have the gamers just a shame that a handfull of gamers end up really ruining it for the rest, fanboys really should stop being fanboys, its gone to a point where its more about bashing the other console than it is praising your own EG Console A is better because X game on console B was bad - I miss the days where you could stumble apon a glitch n tell your mates how cool or weird it was now all you get is oh...
I remember that article, dam was insane just seeing the comments marked as trolling, shameful thing was that those comments wernt exectly out of the normal. Did feel for the 360 fans tho I'd b pissed if Polyphone did something lyk that for GT5
I do like how N4G has flipped from a few years ago being Pro 360, alot ppl must have seen the light :P
Agreed on FFXII for me not only the best final fantasy but one of my favourite all time RPGs too it got a lot of hate but was such a good n complete game, this is the 1st comment on this thread i've seen of it being the best which i agree with
VII was a good game n im glad its remembered well as a classic but its hard to justify it as the best game ever just because of its commercial success on the PS1, I'd like to play VI as that seems to be a hardcore ff fans favou...
Yer team that with constant autosaves and a easier than easy diffculty setting on so many games and it really does become a walk in the park, makes challanging games a refreshing thing, Demon Souls doesnt hold your hand too much but probably 1 of the toughest games (and genres) is motorstorm in the later races the AI is brutal n actually requires a driving line to win gold.
Sometimes being able to jump in is gd, tho i kno what you mean, reading through the manual on the way ...
Too far man, too far. dnt get me wrong shes a beautiful machine but can only satisfy so much, a controller can only rumble so much - fans can only blow so much, no there are definatly some games that i would rather play on a girl than a console, despite the graphics ;)
joking aside. I think a "real" gamer is similar to the term "hardcore" my definition of that is anyone who plays games as a primary hobby. The reason this is generally assosiated with the m...
Dev 1: What about marketing ?
Dev 2: We'll say its a PS3 exclusive, let the fanboys talk about it, then make it multiplat
Dev 3: Interesting should cause a stir on N4G
People disagree with this how ?
Disagreed - Fair point you enjoyed your 360 n wii games this year, GOW got boring fast (after 1st playthrough) thats where i start to disagree it got boring to you im assuming because the gameplays 'repetitive' similar you kno to how every COD and Halo game are same n 'repetitive' (no disrespect to Halo, it actually really immpressed me for the 1st time with Reach n i'd rather that than COD right now)
I wasnt going to bother commenting until this "Ma...
agreed - normally would leave a fine comment lyk that with agree n move on but it actually bugs me that you have disagrees, what sort of ppl think 'well hes not saying extreme about either consoles thats wrong'
You even give your own experiances n they get disagreed again how can anyone disagree with your opinion if you prefere the PS3 controller but will stick up for the 360 wen appropriate, unfortunately by you suggesting its a silly place it was proven by the disa...
Agreed, and a lot of the comments on the original story agree too, its dishearting to hear gaming constantly being accused of negitive things especially as its designed for entertainment
think its easy to say tho that too much is bad, moderation is key
