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

    Why would anyone care about this 'story' anyhow? Won't matter first party and third party it ends up basically the same as XBone (0.5 GB ahead/behind with the reserve deal) and ahead of a 'normal PC' (I.E. 32bit or otherwise under 4 GB usable) which means due to LCD would be not using the full...

    Better support KB/Mouse if so. Gonna hate if it's completely consolized with no KB/M option for a good hunk of players leading to "silent groups" and "voice chat groups" only - I want typist groups dammit.

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

    Nononono... almost all developers make use of all available shortcuts in development - what I mean is OpenGL defines how X/Y/Z 3D operation should be handled. nVidia regularly breaks from that and makes up it's own rules for ~20% or so of operations which leads to different results with a speed...

    Thusfar from what I've seen even the games with light Kinect use (like Dead Rising 3) are still being listed as Kinect "exclusive" FYI. Perhaps there's one I've missed but I've got a feeling they've lumped them all.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Pretty sure at least generally speaking that's their feeling Randin - even AC3 had that to a limited extent with the Homestead building, Indian activities (hunting/etc), trading, etc. - with some slight feelers out there with the light naval battles that AC3 had to see how well received they...

    The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

    "Almost" turn-based. Realistically it's more like Mass Effect 2/3 with the command wheel that doesn't completely pause the game world. [And from how I took one review, I think the slowdown is actually something that upgrades with some research or something - so it might be limited in how many...

    Mix/Tuco: It's likely because of optimization shortcuts ala 3dFX - nVidia has been using operation shortcuts off the OpenGL norms more and more recently in their PC cards, odds are they completely kicked them aside for their Android/Steam hybrid doodad thing. I don't know if ya'll remember the...

    Dark Souls 2

    Was not intending to be sarcastic - just with Dark Souls going to it from Dark first, you can soak occasional damage - Demon's Souls is designed with taking ZERO damage in mind. The only way to efficiently make any type of build that requires healing is to have the mana regen ring and enough...

    Ah the judge did allow it? I thought the judge disallowed their request to add manslaughter back on? I clearly misread the thread back when they requested it. Change my curiosity to criminal recklessness then I guess. (Although as stated I don't think that will get a guilty verdict either)...

    Actually it might not be - since they opted against lesser included in the prosecution against Florida norms - that could actually explain why.

    An appropriate response after repeated attempts to actively misrepresent what I'm saying - should I have just said "Hey calm down" when I kept misstating the injuries contrary to what you were trying to say because of missing the DiMaio (or however its spelt) testimony?

    It's pretty much expected that if Trayvon was replaced with a suit and tie wearing white man that Zimmerman wouldn't have given him a second glance.

    Partially accurate, some of those "shall" and "may" issue states don't make it at all practical or frequent in issuing. MD has always been a "May-Issue" state on it (and was as far back as I'm aware) but there's very few (I want to say it was something like 20) issued a year, almost exclusive to...

    SNAP maximum is higher than its ever been and to get that much you'd have to have literally TEN secondary people on the SNAP account. (Assuming it doesn't cap before that - not sure on any cap or not) So that figure is meaningless - average SNAP benefit in the US is $140. Especially when...
