I agree Ron. I havent purchased anything in years from EA. To be specific, my last purchase was battlefield 3. After I saw what kind of mess that was, I saw the writing on the wall.
Since all I've seen is record breaking sales coming out of EA, yet fans still complain that they're spending money and not getting results.
smh
Making a new flavor of chocolate is not the same as inventing chocolate. Xbox live is fluid and works well. But long before anything like it was steam, and before that were various bits of it, such as voice clients, etc.
You mean a rally racing game... about rally racing?
Don't know why they went the whole X games route to begin with.

Well for your first statement, 1080p is quite demanding. The fact that a new gen of consoles came out with "more power", doesn't mean much. You're expecting gaming pc power, out of a box that's roughly half the price. Just because the tech specs on these consoles look great means nothing. They don't have discreet graphics, they have pooled memory, and are running on modified laptop cores to meet a 150-200 watt power constraint. Compa...
Makes sense thanks. Just not a very efficient way to show it IMO.
I'm just trying to figure out the graphs In the article. Is it just me or with no key do they not make sense?
While I agree in principle with what your saying, I believe that will have very little impact on piracy.
Then you don't play any new games... Let me rephrase that, you don't play any games when they are new to the market. Rage comes to mind. That was a horrible game when it first came out on an amd card. Saints row the third has just recently had its micro-stuttering taken care of, I could go on. And although price/performance of crossfire is great with amd cards, most games seriously wig out during crossfire.
I know the specs, but when you add physx, better drivers. Nvidia has a clear edge.
I've always been a big ATI/AMD fan, but the driver problems, and the lack of power out of this gen's cards is frustrating. I have to 6870's and when the specs came out for the 7970's I wasn't impressed. But Nvidia's cards caught my attention this go around, I think for price vs power they win outright. I will likely move to the otherside when it's time for an upgrade.
AlThough I very much enjoy hearing the "BOOM headshot!", I've always preferred hearing "M-M-Monster KILL, KILL, KILL!". But anytime you hear any of the old catch phrases, it's very satisfying!
Exactly a 7.5 isn't bad, but I also agree with ign. Glitches are a reason to mark a game down a notch or two. Although I very much liked the first game, bugs on the 360 were so bad(game freezing, puzzle pieces not showing up, getting stuck in walls, etc.) that I couldn't finish the game. And I got it through gamefly a good 8-12 months after it had been out.
That's sad I was hoping they would at least optimize it for the higher rez screens of today. It's not like they even had to overhaul the graphics! Just simply allow anti-aliasing, and higher screen resolutions. It seems SE disappoints yet again.
Good read. I was on the fence about picking this up, but it seems like civilization in space. Which isn't a bad thing.
I geared up my PC just for bf3. I played it for about 2-3 weeks and couldn't take it anymore. EA has pushed this franchise to compete with COD so hard that the line is very blurred between the two. Fact is battlefield was an open battlefield shooter, and COD was a twitch corridor shooter, they didn't have to compete with eachother because they were 2 very different games.
Add to that the no VoIP for PC, the failure that is battle log, and the near game breaking bug...
I was never into mmo's, until I read about eve on this site. I started a trial account and haven't looked back since.
It's amazing to see if the right mmo comes along to interest you enough, how quickly you can drop all the other games you play.
Depends on what your looking for. For me it's cs:s for multiplayer, and crysis for single player.
I enjoyed fallout 3 so much I just bought, new vegas in spite of the criticism's I have heard. But this makes me want to go back to fallout 3 again.
I'm kinda psyched for this game, but I am an original cs 1.6 convert to cs:s, and fear it wont translate well. I hope I'm proven wrong, because an updated counter strike could be just what the doctor ordered.
R* makes a giant open world, living, breathing, game. where you can do virtually anything you put your mind to in it. Everything from racing aircraft competitively, to playing darts in a bar. And people claim it got boring...
I realistically have absolutely no idea what people expect out of a game.
