    Yeah the combat in witcher 1 still sucks. I bought it anyways and used a trainer so I could use that fire aoe that killed everything just to see the story play out. Witcher 1 gets boring pretty fast with the fedex quests ugh.

    I have always found it strange that all mmo developers do that. I wonder if it's because they don't want to have two separate code branches going on at the same time so they just stick to one and make changes accordingly.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I think the problem is with the pacing differences between films and a video game. In a video game you are prompted for a choice then the game waits for your input. This interrupts the dramatic flow which wouldn't happen in a film since everything is edited together after fliming is complete...

    You're right it doesn't look bad but in the face of something like Destiny, it looks pretty underwhelming. Due to the glut of FPS in this day and age, you really have to stand out from the pack to make any sort of impression.

    I will admit they look a bit strange in that photo, but they look great when you wear them with a pair of jeans. Before desert boots became popular people would complement me on them all the time and ask where I got mine. Only problem is the crepe sole gets ugly after a year of extended use...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Hawke's not returning in DAI. There is going to be a completely new protagonist. They said that there will be appearances from characters past, but it will probably be like Flemeth's random appearance in DA2. With regards to DAO, I think they had to start with a new character since they pretty...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    That's true, I wish there would have been more of a continuous narrative from the first to the second. I got all giddy when the wardens showed up at the end of act 2 in DA2. Reminded me how weak the story and supporting characters were in DA2 compared to the first.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    You can tell the differences in quality between the origin stories in the original DAO. I played the elf origin and it pales in comparison to the human story. Besides who is going to play the game over and over again just to play the different origins? In the end it's just a slightly different...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    So I decided to play through DAO and DA2 again since it looks like it is going to be a long time till DA3 is released. I have to admit that DAO hasn't aged well at all. The silent protagonist just doesn't work anymore. But I must admit that they really didn't take advantage of the voice overs...

    Chrome and Safari render pretty much the same since they both use Web-Kit at it's core but yeah Safari is pretty shit nonetheless.

    chrome or firefox?

    It's the aliasing differences between each browser. Chrome font rendering on Windows is notoriously bad due the the rendering library (skia) they use. In reality the font rendering in FF is closer to the actual font then what you see in chrome. Apparently the chromium devs are working getting...

    I am confused here. Is MS adding ads to the OS search function, i.e. what you use to search for system files and such. Or is this some sort of internet search app built in to windows 8?

    I was under the impression that these types of theoretical output specs never translate into real world performance. Didn't Sony pull the same shit with the PS3.

    Most recognized brand from each of the 50 states

    If we were talking solely about brand awareness I would say Disney is the most recognized brand from California. Anyways the guy who put it together didn't really use infamy as the criteria, instead he chose the brand that best represents that state.

    It's pretty easy to placate mainstream console gamers because they majority have never experienced high res 1080p graphics. Once they see the difference with the new gen, they will will never want to go back to shitty 720p screen resolutions. This is something that anyone who has gamed on the PC...

    Yeah the list is pretty meh. The only killer exclusive is Forza honestly. All the big third party games will be on both platforms. I doubt we will see many, if any PS3 exclusives, considering the highly differently architectures of the PS3 and PS4. I guess that's why Sony purchased gaikai.

    Cirny stated they started development on the PS4 in 2008 so the PS4 has had quite a head start whereas the Xbone started in late 2010. I bet the negative developer sentiment to the PS3 made them start early on a successor. And I don't blame them. Guess MS was content to rest on their laurels but...

    It comes as no surprise that they changed their DRM policy. They did the same thing earlier this year when people cried out about Office 2013's ridiculous licensing agreement. Although in that regard they only compromised halfway. However, I wouldn't put it pass them to change course once they...
