Two things.
Shadowrun Retuns, DragonFall and Hong Kong are spinoffs? Sorry sweetie, No. .Shadowrun is a Pen and Paper RPG, not a crappy FPS, and the PC RPGs are no more spinoffs of said shooter than the Magnificent Seven is a spin off of Samurai 7.
Perfect Dark Zero is trash. A revival of that type of game would be nice, but it should be good and shouldn't be based on Zero, it should be based on Perfect Dark 64 (you know, the good one with the absurdi...
RPG =/= leveling system and random battles. (also RPG=/=JRPG)
JRPGs are basically visual novels, but with combat (in fact many of the people and companies that make them started out making visual novels). They don't even need to be Japanese.(Septerra Core, for example.)
RPGs are Role Playing Games. Games about and with systems designed to facilitate Roleplaying. The stats and stuff serve to allow the player to create a character and to reinforce the n...
but he's not really very different at all, in fact "whatever" is a perfectly plausible way to express many of those ideas (and many others besides) in english, the problem is that his tone isn't conveyed very well so we can't tell which he means.
On a related note, It drives me nuts when people call him whiny. He almost literally *never* whines or emotes in any way except exhsperation, contempt or anger, that's the whole damn point. Even in his in...
For the record, if you are one of those people who disagrees with things without actually explaining why, I'm just going to assume you're reacting based on emotions or being intellectually dishonest and incapable of coming up with a reasonable explaination.
Yeah, uh, nobody does that. Nobody is opposed to heterosexuals being the majority except some idiots on tumblr. Ignore them, they're dumb.
Also, when ~30% of the US is vehemently anti-gay (I can't give numbers for other places) and every time anyone mentions a gay character, even when it's legitimately adding to the game and done with a good character who is much more than their sexuality (Hello Dorian) people still flip out and complain about the "SJW agen...
Lol, no it isn't. It could have been, but then they stuck us with Vahn and turned it into a boring ass"defeat the evil empire" story.
Not really? The RX 470 can do it, and that's basically what the PS4 Pro is using.

I don't think you know how a computer works. There are CPU bound processes and GPU bound processes. Naturally many processes can be done on either, but the specific reason we have dedicated chipsets is because they're better at their specific job.
No amount of CPU power will help the speed of a GPU bound process or the associated FPS, and rendering things at 4k is a *very* GPU bound process. The Best the CPU can do in those situations is ...
Or, you know, I could just put the disk in my PC. Or just rip the files off the disks and play them from the HDD. Except for 13 and 14 i guess, but 13 is a garbage fire and 14 has a subscription fee so saving a few bucks on the purchase price doesn't really do anything.
I have a 4k screen (and don't have a PS4 pro or Xbone S.) Wasn't pointless to me.
What does bother me is how much traction these types of articles get though. This is the kind of stuff that should generally be a product demonstration, running on loop on the TV at actual stores. Obviously people without 4k displays are going to be unlikely to spot the difference (or will see it but it will be indistinguishable from good AA). It's like all those stupid HDR compar...
Yeah, I can too. Sometimes in the textures but always in the lines.
Yes, they are evil.
You don't get where I'm coiming from? You do know that Farcry 3/4/primal, basically all the AC games, both watchdogs and many others besides are all the same open world game in a new skin right? The gameplay is tweaked for theme, but it's just 1 game. They also do yearly Just Dance games that are all the same thing. Just because you happen to play some of the games from side studios that aren't just the same thing on repeat doesn't me...
They are driven by design though. The same design, over and over and over and over again. They're all the repitition of FromSoft with like almost none of the inspiration. (Not to mention being so evil they manage to make activision/blizzard look good).
I would not be the least bit surprised if when we finally get Beyond Good and Evil 2 it turns our to be basically just Assassins creed, but maybe with a camera mechanic.
I didn't say he didn't play a big roll, and you didn't read my post. If you did, you'd know why that "his record isn't perfect" point is wrong.
Do you not know what a director or Producer does?
It's somewhat flexible, but directors direct. They execute the creative vision. Producers focus more on money and co-ordinating efforts to see that the vision is being executed as described (with varying degrees of creative control over said vision.)
Kitase being the producer means that he wasn't in charge, he was co-ordinating efforts to enact the vision of someone else. He's no more responsib...
I say no.
I was (and remain) quite happy to sit and watch/listen/read character interactions for 15 minutes at a time provided they're interesting characters saying or doing interesting things. The Author gave FF13 crap for that, but it's not as if the same thing didn't happen in FF4 and FF6 and FF7 and FF8 and FF9 and FF10 (and the SMT games and the Persona games and Skies of Arcadia and Xenosaga and Xenoblade and Suikoden and, and, and, and,) and people love ...
Ok. JRPG=/= RPG.
I'd argue that JRPGs aren't RPGs at all (mostly in a complete absence of roleplaying) and are instead a completely different genre. They're just called RPGs because they were inspired by the same system and you can see some of the numbers and stuff for the combat, and people who don't know what RPGs (the pen and paper kind) are actually about/what purpose those numbers serve called them that in their ignorance.
JRPGs are l...
Yoshinori Kitase was just as if not more responsible for FF7's success. (Seeing as he was the director.) I'd rather him direct it.
If you don't believe me, consider FF6, FF7, FF10 and Chrono Trigger. If you're thinking to yourself "why those are 4 of the best and most successful JRPGs ever made" then you'd be right, and they all have something in common. Yoshinori Kitase directed and helped write all of them. 10-2 is when he switched to produ...
I think you forget that as far as graphical performance that really doesn't matter, ultimately no amount of bandwitdh or CPU power can make a difference to a GPU that simply isn't fast enough to process the data quickly enough to maintain 60 FPS at 4k. All it's doing is not getting in the way of the GPU and ensuring it works as well as it can.
CEMU says hi. Give it maybe 6 months.
