With MS the first gamertag change is free (ive used it before), but it sort of does make sense to charge people. It might act as a deterrent to those who troll on games, although surely with technology the way it is now, the username is linked to an email address so there should be an audit log of everything a player does..
(Its part of MS/ Sony corporate IT audit policy - Ive worked on security projects for both)
@devidas I think youre missing the point here, its not just about 'sticking it to the man' but how can you buy something faulty on day one?
If you went and purchased a car, that didnt brake would you try and get a refund.
Yes
Same goes for games, developers should be giving money back to customers if they release broken products. In the UK there is legislation coming for this.
Now for Assassins creed Unity - If you have played it, you ...
Fortunately I got the game for £21 so its not a massive deal, but this game feels unfinished.
Theres 2 main things every assassins creed must have:
1. The present time story Arc influenced by the past
2. The Assassin story line influencing the present
Both just dont occur, without any spoilers it feels like a random bit of violence followed by a random mission.
There does not seem to be a start, middle and end with this game.
it has improved gameplay.
Although Ive still had 1 windows crash and a few massive frame drops.A lot more stable, but they still are not all the way yet.
Dont buy it at full price, I got mine for £21.
GTX 760 (The asus 4GB version)
I7-4770k, 16 GB ram
Personally - It doesnt feel like an assassins creed game.
Not sure how other people feel?
Unity is actually not that good or fun.
Thank god I got it for £21 on PC!
The game has lost its story arc, it has no identity.
Unity does not even feel like assassins creed any more, just random acts of violence at random times of the game when you are presented with a mission or the crowd needs help.
In all the previous games, the player took part in historical events. In this game, even though its surrounded by the french revolution, th...
@Frostypants..
I work with Nvidia commercially and they have a lot more going on than most would realise.
E.g the Tesla range of cards are used for facial recognition and there really isnt anyone competing.
I know I work for enterprise security and we integrate NEC neoface who spec tesla cards for production systems.
Nvidia also have the tegra cards going into small applications to use cuda cores to do live computing on ANPR, facial rec etc...

@drpepperdue..
What are you talking about?
Every game on steam works with pretty much every major OS for PC, there are updates and patches.
E.g I recently played Knights of the old republic, jedi knight dark forces on windows 8.1 without any issue.
What games are you talking about that need troubleshooting?
Theres a few things that are misrepresented, the old days gaming and games was a bit niche, dont get me wrong it might have been big but nothing compared to the present. Now a days its a lot more accepted, hence the number of casuals who play certain titles like COD because their friends/ family members do.
The total number of console games has increased exponentially, hence the great sales of the current gen (xbone/ps4).
Again whilst PS4/xbone sales are a good indica...
the countless number of star wars games..
Cant remember they guys name, but he came into lucasarts and literally cancelled everything.
its insane.. They would have made a crap load of cash from many games released (not force unleashe)/
dude.. its not xbox live or playstation network. You dont use their servers.
Its P2P - I.e the same way torrents work.
1 person becomes the 'server' and distributes the data to all other players.
thats why players get host
lag compensation has been part of COD since Black Ops.. Why are people discovering it now and complaining about it?
This game will still sell well.
Personally its a bit of a Halo/Crisis cross (DOUBLE JUMP etc).
With titanfall boosters...
the NXE became quite slow though.
I know metro UI isnt perfect, but they are improving it and with windows 10 it will be unified.
It you really hate it, send feedback to MS they are listening to it.
Im not gonna lie its pretty awful people go through this.
But look at this objectively, she was actually afraid for her life, thats surely a lot of stress.
The people sending the death threats probably dont even leave their house anyway.
Her ex is to blame too, he probably knew the madness that would follow.
Its peak
Some of my colleagues and I, just read through some of the funniest comments on this thread.
With the amount of articles like this, from previous gen and current gen - its pointless arguing because everyone is fixed on their opinion.
Still some of stuff posted has me in tears LOOOOL.
The only issue with it is when used in some games the HUD doesnt move.
But Im sure game updates might solve that :)
Cant wait to use it on assassins creed in a few weeks
in the UK any gaming purchase that is thought be faulty by the user is allowed a refund.
Or if you digitally buy the game its speeds up the process
@Azuske - To both your comments..
1st comment - Pretty much agree with RAS0, the over all cost of a PC throughout a lifecycle is far less than the ps4/xbone, mainly due to the prices in games.
2nd Comment - What are you talking about optimisation on different PCs?
The firmware between GPUs is very similar these days, and Nvidia and AMD both have input.
Although AMD have been muscled out a couple of times by Nvidia (its sad I know).
Wit...
LOOOL.
So my gaming spec PC last year roughly..
Cost £550.
I7-4770k
16Gb Hyper X RAM
Nvidia GTX 760 x2 (The asus ROG 4GB version)
1xSSD, 1xHD (2TB)
Everything was purchased from different sites using camel camel camel for amazon for price drops, and various other shopping alert services.
Thats how you build a PC at lowish price, i know its in GBP (£), but in dollars (a friend in the US made the same) the price ...
