Spoilers ahoy for a couple games...
Hit the minus button if you don't want to be spoiled.
@Nitrox
Remember when Killzone: Shadow Fall did this all at the beginning of the PS4's life-cycle?
I sure do. You play as a new character adopted by the good guy who betrays you at the end of the game and then another individual from the enemy contingent hunts him down for killing their "enemy"?
Yeah I'm making things pretty con...

Until then...

Of course I mean use this all the time... It won't save you as many idiots don't know what "/s" even means anymore.

My links are sound. They're links to peer reviewed papers and medical articles including those posted by the CDC themselves. Don't know what to tell you aside from the idiots on TV aren't the ones you should be listening to.
May I remind you that I also told you not to disobey any guidance from the CDC or local authorities. I'm giving you the means to start looking into the facts you don't believe that are backed by empirical eviden...

You aren't aware that vaccines aren't cures they're a prophylactic.
Masks don't work because people do not wear the right ones and when they do they don't wear them properly anyway which negates their effectiveness.
Coronaviruses aren't new, humans have been fighting them for many millenia. They mutate rapidly and as a result we haven't created any effective vaccines for Coronaviruses even today ...
I got it on the 3DS over a year ago now and I still cannot get invested in it. I probably just haven't gotten far enough to understand the fans of this game either that or it's just not my type of game to begin with. I do like the scale of the world though that's pretty nice. I just wish they weren't so empty and barren. At least random encounters aren't a thing considering all enemies are plainly visible. It's actually been long enough that I can't recall if the i...
4K60...
Funnily enough a game like Xenoblade Chronicles (1) should probably hit that mark on Tegra X1 hardware especially considering the hype Jensen was pumping up during the Shield TV launch. They demonstrated Dead Trigger 2 at 4K so I can't imaging a Wii title like Xeno couldn't run in 4K at 60FPS!
If you believe the hype that is.
@Vegamyster
Try playing GRID or basically any title on a Samsung device dating back to the Note 4 with Game Tuner ( https://news.samsung.com/gl... - now defunct) or Game Plug-ins (Game Tuners replacement).
If you set your phone hardware to output at 720p natively and adjust Game Tuner or Game Plug-ins resolution scale to 75% you'll see how bad 540p looks. ...
PSP Go did allow users to dock the device and play games on the TV using a DS3 controller. The real downside to that whole setup is that believe it or not you needed a PS3 to pair a DS3 to the PSP Go. So it wasn't perfect, but it was certainly a Switch-like idea that pre-dated Switch's launch by nearly 7 years!
Additionally there was the Xperia Play and of course PS Vita which not only played select PS3 games like PSP did but also basically all PS4 games via video s...
It's not even that powerful compared to today's phones and even right after launch there were phones that seemed capable of outperforming Switch while docked.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is one such example. In synthetic benchmarks it's CPU was superior to that found inside the Nvidia Shield TV which is Switch's older and more powerful cousin "born" just two years earlier in 2015.
I decided to look at Shield TV vs PS3 and discovered games runnin...
CDs weren't better?
I'd say that extra 636 megabytes of storage was a definitive bump and allowed huge worlds to exist on PlayStation and other consoles and PC. Then and even now space is more important to gamers and developers than speed. Would developers or gamers be excited for PS5 if the hardware could only support 200GB of storage? I sincerely doubt it!
Diddy Kong Racing is an N64 game, but the there were still brief, but obvious loading pauses when entering and leaving levels.
I guess I'm the brave one who liked this comment?
Too bad the truth is you're right games had to be designed to leverage the system's weaknesses to load in content but it is also true that basically every game console and computer saw extended loading times since the PS1 era.
Computers have only started to keep loading times down thanks to faster I/O (some of which is actually also available on PS4 with NVMe being the only hold out not available on consoles until...
GameBoy games were just a few megabytes in size. Games on disk (cartridges) were tiny and RAM while far slower and infinitesimal by today's standards was fast enough to load in 2D sprites and or very simple geometric shapes.
GameBoy to N64 were simple machines. PS1 was indeed even slower due to CD I/O.
There is just one tiny problem...
If CDs were the issue and carts are the solution why is Switch so slow?

The only way the leaker goes to jail is if he doesn't pay the damages which can only be assessed after litigation against them.
You indeed have much to learn about the world child.
My old Xbox 360 controllers drifted. I prefer to use the wireless pad that came with my 360 but even that drifts... Only in PC though.
It seems fine when using it on the console itself.
Looks at article.
Looks at heat level.
Looks at comments.
Sees agrees for individuals praising Xbox pads.
Looks at disagrees for any pro PS pad comments.
Thinks: "And people say N4G is full of ponys!"
@cartoonX1
I've been gaming on PC (and even Mac) on and off since the early 90's.
After 2005 (Xbox 360) I still used Logitech controllers. It wasn't until I picked up an Xbox 360 for myself in 2011 (PSN hack) that I started using that systems controller on PC.
Most people I know who play on PC don't use an Xbox 360 controller either. Most still use K/M and splurge for steering wheel/pedals and HOTAS for racing and flight simulators respectively. The ...
@Neonridr
If only 3rd parties use it that would be strange... Considering basically all devs Cerny talked to wanted far faster storage. So Sony is providing it and yet you don't think devs will use it?
Ok...

"Also, her actions are quite common for someone who is hell bent on revenge - it causes people to act rather selfishly, which would have been true in the case of this game."
Any current day examples you want to share? Perhaps with the police?
Ah no or you don't have any?
Either way you've just proved that your whole "everyone is out for revenge" bullet-point dead wrong. I can't think of really a...
