13% trophies? I wouldn't call that playing it much, personally. I got 30% within a few days.
I think you probably didn't try it much past the first week, when people were still too inexperienced to really put some serious tactics into play.
Also, kinda looks like you like to snipe. I think sniper, as a role, is really only fun in a couple maps in MAG. If that's your gripe with it, then.. I suppose.
The whole game wasn't ...
This article is making some VERY naive assumptions, based upon very limited surface knowledge.
The power difference, between current consoles and PCs, its currently at its peak. If you look at the numbers recent history, you'll notice that PC gaming is "on the rise" in the past couple years.
This is only due to the console cycle, folks. It happens every time. Over the next 3-4 years, PC gaming will be "dying", and journalists will p...
LOL. The article says "dedicated gaming console", not "dedicated gaming PC".
That means the study includes PCs that are used to play minesweeper and solitaire, folks. Learn to read closely, and you can sift the sensationalistic journalism garbage from the real thing.
There should be a law that fines journalists for sensationalism, or something. Like, requiring a free link to the study, in this kind of article, for example.
This is hardly "desperation".
This is exactly what MS wants. The devices currently used for video conferencing, etc. cost THOUSANDS of dollars. This is a great deal for business of all sizes, and a huge boon for MS, when it comes to putting Windows and MS everywhere.
Exactly what any successful company wants. You can believe Sony would be ecstatic if some Bravia or PS4 feature put Sony hardware in conference rooms everywhere.
I find the animal crossing comment deeply ironic, since journalists complained loudly that the Wii game's biggest fault was that it was hardly different from the GC version.
Was that comment intended irony?
What's that? Haven't heard any such thing exists yet.
When it does, then maybe these top N articles will have some merit.
Is there a gaming PC standard that could be labeled as a "device"? Without that standard there is no such PC gaming device, and PC developers are forced to target i5s with HD4000 GPUs and 2 GB of 1333 as their minimum spec.
All you really get from a better PC, then, is more pixels, and sometimes better textures, if the developer was feeling generous.
How can an article compare these GPUs without discussing the XB1's ESRAM?
I think the 800MB number is kind of a "shock" number, which probably includes multi-frame render targets, like dynamic reflection and shadow maps rendered for different portions of a map as you approach them. More of a "neato feature" thing than a performance thing.
Shock journalism. 32MB is actually pretty decent for ESRAM, IMO.
...and DDR3 has much lower latency under those conditions. Meaning a CPU spends less time waiting on uncached data to arrive from memory with DD3 than GDDR5.
That's why there are these two varieties of memory in modern PCs -- GDDR5 is best suited for massively parallel data shuffling -- like the kind needed for parallel graphics pipelines. DDR3 is better suited for small, random data fetches -- the kind you'd do in a normal computer program.
GDDR5 i...
...I provided a link to tested results from a verified worthwhile site.
And yeah, I probably do actually know about as much as the PS4 designers do about system design. Also, I don't have some marketing guys breathing down my neck, trying to make the PS4 look better than the XB1 on paper. The same guys who took free online from PSN, and took out the camera from the PS4 basic bundle.
You know that selling the system is more important to them than the spe...
I find it ironic how people are ooh'ing and aah'ing the GPU power of the next gen, while ignoring the CPU altogether.
From Tom's Hardware, with regards to latency and bandwidth effect on game performance:

Keep in mind that GDDR5 has much worse latency than DDR3, despite its bandwidth advantage. If ...
I find it offensive.
It's pure human hubris to believe that we understand the heavens, or the will of beings that could have created the universe itself.
Churches around the world largely do nothing but teach people that these dieties they claim to understand, or that they claim to have communicated with, want to be *feared*. That doesn't sound like the church of a "good" deity, or all-powerful diety, at all, to me.

Just Android, and even then only a subset, I think.
I guess the price point is challenging... its just the games that aren't?
Lets face it. Mobile games suck. People only play them because they have nothing else to do, but have their phone on them -- and hey, it has a screen, right?
If you're in some sort of boredom prison, then I guess just about anything is fun. If I had a pal to play with, and had to choose between playing mobile garbage, and packing a couple decks of a CCG, like Magic, I'd cho...
Whoa-ho! Look at that seeexy racer on the big Apple screen. Man, that racer is gonna give Gran Turismo 2 a run for its money!
Yeah Apple taking over the living room with their hawt, overpriced embedded tech... Yeah.. No.
Ouya is $99 too. How's that doin'?
Here's the irony. The Wii U is not made from off-the-shelf parts... thus, despite the hardware being radically inferior to the XB1 and PS4, it likely costs nearly the same to make.. especially when you consider the cost of the tablet.
The price cannot, and will not come down until the Wii U can be mass produced. But.. who would mass produce a machine which isn't selling?
The Wii U will suffer a sad fate, I'm afraid. It's not because "N...
...MS did announce more exclusives at E3, if you include PC cross-platformers that did not include PS4. Actually WAY more, and that was an odd turnaround from last gen.
Also, Sony's "exclusive" lineup counted a very large number of indie titles. That may be important to some folks, but IMO, those don't count for much. Go indies! Yeah! but.. yeah your games mostly suck, by nature.
You could say the reverse was true with the 360 Arcade tit...
We haven't yet seen the quality of PS4 services and apps. If their browser is anything like the PS3 browser... augh. I love my XMB and dynamic themes, but 99% of the times my PS3 has crashed -- it's because I opened the crappy browser.
Also, HDMI-in is nothing to scoff at. The XB1 has some stuff going for it. We can gripe about Kinect 2.0 bumping the price, etc., but when it comes down to it, chances are it will be a better experience overall for the OS and apps, ...
MAG will never have bots, because the bots would need to be made within an engine that is no longer "owned" by a dev team. It would cost millions to add such support to the game, without that knowledge.
There should be a petition to introduce a PS+ requirement instead, and make the game free to all PS+, to keep the servers alive.
If you wanted to petition something for these games that would be affordable, you would need to petition something simpl...
