What do you mean? The fun in WoW starts at max level.

Films are captured with cameras and will have natural motion blur. Animated movies are prerendered with motion blur.

Just having bad fps won't make a game look like a movie. You need motion blur, and doing high quality motion blur in real time is so gpu/cpu intensive that the devs might as well just ramp up the fps instead for a better experience.

The real threshold is different from person to person, and it can be trained. Some claim they don't see any difference between 30 and 60, and some can with 100% certainty tell if they're playing at 60 or 120 fps (assuming there is no motion blur).

Ask an oldschool Quake player if they thought 60 fps was good enough for optimal play.

I want both, and I hope this will be common next generation.

30 fps for shooters is just bad. It might work when people are stuck with using a controller, but in fast paced games on the PC it's impossible to play optimally with such low fps. Back in the days of Quake 30 fps was laughable. Even 60 fps was considered sub-par. Most played at 85, 100 or 120 fps.

Seems to work for me. All the firmwares have been ready for install after work hours. Other stuff like demos and patches I'm not sure if come at the right time because I don't know when they are released.

It's just unlikely that it would be called "3D" if was a PS3 game. Hopefully this 3D stuff is just a spinoff and the real Kingdom Hearts III will come to PS3 eventually.

Blizzard has this too, for Battle.net (and WoW) access. And it's worth it.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I also think those menu items are way too big. Only room for 3 on the screen at the same time, whereas the XMB can handle 9 menu items both horizontally and vertically.

It looks like too much compression of the images. That's all.

English is the international language and without knowing it one can barely understand a word on the internet.

In Europe, children begin to learn english in school when they are about 9 years old. In Norway many kids know english quite well even before that, because of TV and Internet. Hardly anything is dubbed to Norwegian, and that's a good thing when it comes to learning english.

In countries where dubbing is much more common (Germany, France, Spai...

For people like him the fun is not in actually playing the games, it's the "hacking" and the feeling of hurting big corporations.

The ironic fact is though, that he isn't even hurting the video game industry, because if "hacking" didn't hurt the industry he wouldn't be playing these games anyway - even if they were free.

I can't imagine how that is anything but a big lie. A PS2 software emulator for the PS3 already? People have spent since the year 2000 working on a PS2 emulator for the PC, and it's still crappy. And now it suddenly exist for the complex PS3 hardware?

I'm not that easily fooled.

If it only works for PS3 with PS2 backwards compatability, then it makes sense.

In a few years it's going to be hard to find a new TV which isn't 3D ready, just like it's hard to find a 720p only TV today. 3D is not a big upgrade from normal HDTVs, so the price will drop fast.

It's almost impossible to screw yourself into having to restart to get all trophies (or achievements) in FFXIII. The only missable one is 'Treasure Hunter' and the only way to miss it is to sell an accessory which can't be created. There are only 4 or so accessories which fall into that category, and all of them can be found after getting to chapter 11.

The most compact form of someone elses opinion. Can it get any more useless than that?

I'm playing for the second time right now and I'm enjoying it even more than I did the first time. Reason for that is that there are so many small (but important) things about the combat system you're never told about, and they're almost impossible to figure out yourself.

After 100 hours and a platinum I thought I knew it all, but when I later read a "FF13 Game Mechanics FAQ" I realized I couldn't be more wrong. This was when I decided to give ...

There is a very good reason why glassless 3D has serious limitations. It has to do with how we (humans) are able to perceive 3D at all. That it, by having two eyes seeing the world from different angles.

Using glasses is a very easy way around those limitations, and it creates an amazing 3D effect. It will surely take _many_ years of research to come up with a glassless solution with a 3D effect which is just as good.

You are only fooling yourself if you ...

A XP bonus for not playing or a XP penalty for playing is the same thing. Infact, in the beta of WoW it was indeed a pentalty, but then they changed it to a bonus and reduced base XP instead. Somehow, just by calling it a bonus the whine disappeared, although the effect was identical to the penalty.

But it is as you say. It's only full or half XP in WoW. The penalty never reaches 0%. But then again; XP is the only way to progress in WoW (until you reach max level).

Funny you should mention WoW, because it _does_ actually have a XP limiting system. You slowly gain "reststate" when not playing (and extremely slow if you don't log out at an inn). When you're out of "reststate" you only get half the XP you would otherwise get.
