    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Seriously? Neither console is rendering at 1080? Next generation indeed. I can't see any reason to pick up either console at this rate.

    Ultra Street Fighter IV

    This game is looking to be a shit sandwich so far.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Hi. I live in China. Let me chime in. To answer your questions: When you see the media report consoles are banned here, you know you're dealing with a site that doesn't know what it's talking about. Consoles aren't "illegal", exactly. You can see them for sale like everywhere. They are in...

    Terraria

    I'm starting from scratch myself. I want to see how the new itemization changes things. Plus it seems like it's more viable to be a caster at lower levels now.

    Absolutely. The adventure mode has been finished for a while. I liked it a lot.

    [iOS] Plants vs. Zombies 2

    The thing with PvZ2 is that nickel and diming isn't even accurate; it's fiver and ten spotter-ing. $30+ for a full mobile game is just retarded.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    This makes me want to fire up P1999 again. I got bogged down being out of town/studying for a while. Next thing I knew IB wasn't a guild anymore. Any IB pals still hanging out around the server? 40k for a rogue epic eh? I think I might have that in the bank still...

    [iOS] Plants vs. Zombies 2

    Yeah, I sadly have to put PvZ2 in with all the other game franchises that are worse for EA involvement. One of the most fun parts of PvZ1 to me was finding/unlocking all the plants. You could so this for $3 or less depending on sales. The "box" price covered everything. Now... If you want all...

    The problem is, anyone that could look at all the evidence we have on the two consoles and think that buying an xboned is a good idea is a knuckle-dragging idiot. Best not to argue with him; he might throw poop at you.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    That's generally true of course, but still the FGC got a huge influx of new players this console generation thanks to SF4. Many of them didn't get why they were jumping half the time when throwing fireballs and such. He'll, I'm very experienced on both pad and stick and the PS3 pad is basically...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    For me, I've been a steam user/valve customer for over eight years. Not only am I invested in the ecosystem, I also enjoy the sales and promotion for the indy market. I have no want or need for another content delivery client on my system. I also already have Skype/MSN/gchat, so I sure as hell...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    You can always tell when someone doesn't play fighting games at all when the topic of controllers comes up. Xbox 360 pads are almost universally regarded by the fighting game community to be some of the worst pads in the history of gaming. The d-pad on the stock units are pretty much...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Origin exclusive = automatic never buy for me. Maybe if I end up getting a PS4 in the future or something. But most likely I'll just pirate it. Too bad EA isn't serious about being competitive with digital sales.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I'm a gamer. My friends are too. Most of their friends and friend's friends are as well. Some of us are casual, some are hardcore. I haven't actually met a single person in real life that wants to buy an Xbox One. Not a single one. I've never see a console generation like this in my life...

    Try searching Youtube for iPad Jailbreak apps. A couple users post pretty good monthly rundowns.

    Tablets

    I like the 10" form factor a lot more for lounging around the house, but then, I don't really get 7" tablets at all. To me they're an oversized phone and/or an undersized tablet.

    Yup. I would anticipate very high failure rates.

    Don't Starve (similar to survival minecraft)

    A couple things: - Dog attacks at day 70 are still pretty easy to deal with. They don't really ramp up until after day 100 or so. After a while you'll end up with 8-10 fire dogs at once. - Using the teleportato to change worlds resets days, so you obviously won't have much threat in the...

    Don't Starve (similar to survival minecraft)

    A lot has changed if you haven't played in a few months. All of the characters besides Wilson have been redesigned. In general they are a lot more interesting. The same basic survival strat you outlined is still my general go to, but the heat stone made needing lots of warm clothes not really...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I just picked it up after waiting all week for a sale on it. If you like indy/sandboxy/build stuff games, it's pretty dope. It looks like it will only get better too. The art direction really works for it, I think.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I must be crazy. My big score this go around would be Prison Architect for 10 bucks. 10% off on $30 doesn't really work for me on an alpha build, but fuck... it looks like my kind of trouble.

    Smartphones

    Thanks guys, but I'm afraid Google phones don't appear to be available in the Chinese market. It's got to be either Samsung or HTC, I think. It appears that the models available here are a bit different than the US market too... She seems to like the Samsung I8552/I9508, but I don't seem them...

    Smartphones

    I'm totally android ignorant. I have a friend that is looking at getting a new phone in roughly $200-400 range. I'm thinking she can probably get more phone for her money at that price in a droid, but am not really sure what to recommend. Any decent Samsung/HTCs you guys could point me to in...

    Backwards Compatibility - Is it really that important?

    PS2/3 Emulation is most likely going to be a bitch to get perfect still for a while due to both systems having odd architecture. Sony couldn't get PS2 emulation right on the PS3. I doubt doing PS3 emulation (or even PS2 emulation for that matter) on the PS4 is going to be any better. Hell...

    Backwards Compatibility - Is it really that important?

    It's a nice idea, but expensive and difficult to implement properly. Even the launch version fat PS3s had at least 2 frames of added input lag on PS2 games, which is basically a deal breaker. I'd rather they just keep costs down.

    EA will now publish Star Wars Games.

    In short, no. What you are proposing is not the flight sim that old X-Wing fans want. The first thing you get when you try to shoehorn a sim into an Xbox controller is a bad sim.

    EA will now publish Star Wars Games.

    It seems like you and Himeo both are missing something; all "flight games" are not the same. Rogue squadron type arcadey games work absolutely fine on normal dual analog gamepads. That's what they are designed to be played on. They have simplistic pew pew-based gameplay and little need of any...
