AMD processors in general are immune to meltdown, at least as far as Google knows. They coulnd't get in that way. It's only specter that could affect AMD systems, and preventing it is a simple OS update. I'd sotra expect the Xbox to be either immune to both, or immune to meldown and easily patched to be immune to specter just based on the fact that it's AMD hardware, before even getting into architectural differences
If you wanna say my arguments are without merit, you have to actually demonstrate that by refuting my points instead of just being patronizing and making unsupported assertions, especially when it's *already* been illustrated why some of those assertions are patently, blatantly false and nothing you said addresses any of the points raised to illustrate that.
It's patently obvious that marketing and an established audience are a bigger factor than positive reviews. Negative reviews have been known to tank a games sales though.
However, reviewrs don't act as if only their opinion matters. It's *literally* their job to rate their experience with a game, and to recommend or not recommend it based on their tastes and their experience. It's on you to find a reviewer who's tastes you share (or share on a certain s...
@dcbronco.
No? Your metaphor doesn't make sense. For starters, console hardware (because of heat and power consumption concerns) runs at a lower frequency than equivilant PC parts.
Even if what you said is true (it's not,) it's not going to be a significant advantage, if it *was* a significant advantage then APUs would be popular with the PC crowd for being more powerful, and cheaper, which hasn't happened.
Also, sorta...
Let me put it simply for you:
If AMD had created a GPU that was a GTX 1070 or GTX1080 competitor, *and* they did so cheaply enough that they could severely undercut Nvidias 400+ dollar GTX 1070s with a cheaper, more powerful card, why would they not be screaming from the rooftops and pumping the thing out en-mass?
The answer: Because they haven't created that card. They've put an RX 480 or an 580 into the thing.
*Lots* of low s...
Uh. Cemu increases the internal rendering resolution. It's not a 720p image being blown up to 1080p or 1440p or whatever, it's the game actually being rendered at higher resolution. Does that increase the texture quality and the like? No. Is it an improvement to the clairity and sharpness of the game? Yeah.
The difference between playing the Wii on a 4k screen and emulating a Wii at 1440p on a 4k screen is *massive,* even moreso if combined with texture mods.
Did I say lgbt people should be overrepresented? No, no I didn't. But outside like, Bioware games which heavily feature romance and so want to provide options for everyone, they aren't. Like, even a little. You name me 10 LGBT protagonists.
"The gay agenda" is notihing more than equal rights and equal protections. Yeah, some lgbt and non lgbt people want more, but claiming that's "the gay agenda" would be like me claiming Nazism is "the...
Tolerant people cannot be tolerant of intolerance. It's a crappy reality, but it's also the truth. If you're tolerant of bigorty, you enable bigotry. Obviously it can't be completely eliminated, but at the very least we can make it political/social suicide to admit it, while educating people with the actual facts instead of ascinine religious dogma to reduce it's prevolance.
IT's important for people to be made aware that who they are is ok. This is true of everyone of any race/sexuality, ect. It's doubly important when in much of the world, even in many of the more tolerant nations, that idea is publicly disputed by politicians and regular citizens alike on a regular basis, especially when such statements are coming from ones family and/or community, so media and support groups are the only place they're going to get that message.

No, they aren't. It's a myth. I can a PC of equivilant power to the Xbone X for ~50 USD more than the XboneX, and it's cheaper long term even without factoring in games, because you don't have to pay the 50 USD yearly fee for online
You made the argument that it's wrong because it's illegal. Pointing out the horrible stuff that is legal and the dumb stuff that isn't, isn't a strawman. That's the argument you made, unless you;'re trying to say that only your contries laws define morality.
You don't know where I live.
No, I just don't like miserable moralizing pissants who ignore evidence and judge people based on "opinions" with no factual s...
RPG games. Role Playing Games Games. Brilliant writing.
Also, in what universe is Shadow of War an RPG? Have we devalued the genre so much that anything with a leveling system is now an RPG and we have to come up with a new name for actual RPGs?
I've already explained that illegal or legal is irrelivant to the point you are trying to make. Unless you want to claim that slavery is morally ok because it's legal in some places that argument doesn't work.
You've completely side stepped the point of the rhetorical exercise by taking the opportunity to repeat yoursel, butI do have to point out, if that's how you want to play it, the people who upload various games *also* have to purchase copies. But ...
1: Not stealing. You aren't diminishing a limited resource.
2: Tell me, based on the following questions, am I talking about piracy or playing a game at a friends house?
Do the publishers make money? No.
Is the experience still had? Yes.
Does the person contribute to the industrys economy by experienceing it that way? No.
Could the industry survive if everyone experienced the product that way? No.

Lots of stupid things are illegal. In the US doctors can't help me kill myself if I have an extremely painful terminal illness and just want to get it over with rather than spend the next 6 months in misery, depression and agony, in fact they're often legally obligated to force me to suffer though it. So that's not an argument either. Shock horror, laws can be immoral, ineffective, or pointless, just like any other rule can.
Not to mention you've moved the...
The result is the same. You play the game, get the full experience, and don't pay for it. You're drawing a line about wether or not the game has been purchased where no such line actually exsists as far as the impact on the industry goes. Failing to acknowledge or refute any points and simply repeating yourself is not an argument.
I've already explained that DRM is in coffee machines and juice presses and printers and phones and many other things where piracy i...
Stastics.All things being equal, chances are that for every person who steals my thing and legally buys 5 other things, there will be someone who buys my thing and "steals" something different. You don't design around edge cases. Sure, if my product is crap or is super unpopular or if they stars align against me I could get screwed, but it's not likely.
Piracy is called Piracy, not stealing, for a reason. If you steal a physical game or console, you'v...
I need glasses that I'm not actually wearing atm because they're up next to my TV (and I don't own contacts) and I can see the difference.
