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

    That's a pretty large difference to me Gaige - and I'm partially color blind. Stuff like the difference in ground cover being the biggest difference, but even looks like 360 has AA while PS3 does not.

    Magic DOTP 2014

    If it's like DOTP13 the local files aren't under the primary directory in Win7. Ended up in something under Documents or that section of the drive. Since Sealed doesn't require online (I've done it with PSN off for the PS3 variant) - I can't imagine it's "Clouding" them.

    Can't imagine Android low-entry stuff ever coming up to "real gaming" levels though.

    Same - looks neat too. Course I'm getting superpumped for Hex now.

    I think personally most of the differences should end up like LensOfTruth.com minutiae - but history isn't on the side of that being accurate. I agree that ideally they do it the "right way" and make X1 good and PS3 awesome though, I'm just a pessimist about it occurring that way.

    Poopfeast420 - That's awesome that apparently that network doesn't watch their twitter feed.

    Heh, this was the last time I'm talking to Gaige on the subject, figured I'd end it with a bang. His evasive crap is annoying and eventually fell down to "the unknown future" which is something that can't be argued either way.

    Well you were claiming it never happened before - examples were presented that it has - and you've now fallen back on the "it might not, we can't tell the future". Which while potentially accurate, should result in you shutting the fuck up about it because no one knows the future, we can...

    Bricked PS3's

    Brad: And that might be why I had such a terrible time getting it to safe mode, heh - looks nothing like the one I was following unless my memory is completely off. Trying to find the controller method - not having luck yet - did see someone mention having a similar issue and then after...

    Bricked PS3's

    No, your definition sounds more like "YLOD" (Yellow Light of Death) - "bricked" is the OS locking the system in some way. Comes from people jailbreaking phones and the like and screwing up and then the OS makes it useless I think.

    And I agree completely on Sealed - and it's helpful on the wallet for me too - since I do MTGO sealed faaaaaaaar too much. (I usually at least break even since I'm decently rated [1800-1900 depending on the day] but when a dry spell hits it should be beautiful for saving $$) The format of...

    Those cases I listed there Gaige actually have 15-20 fps dips on the LCD of this generation (PS3). They didn't make sure the LCD was 30+ fps first, they let the LCD have frame rate dips into uncomfortable ranges. Yes, minor fidelity differences like Skyrim aren't a huge deal to me either, but...

    The Last of Us

    Was about 42 hrs from my scheduled windows I played roughly from start to platinum (Hard/Survivor/Survivor+ and Multiplayer). For those thinking of platinuming should give you a rough idea. [And I did cheese the MP a bit with the start game/drop out trick to accelerate getting through it -...

    Magic DOTP 2014

    What version you running North? If its PS3 you can just start more profiles for more "deck slots" - I'd imagine the same for 360. On PC you can probably delete the local files.

    Mass Effect 3, Dark Souls, and Skyrim just off the top of my head are noticeable between the versions. Even non-sidebyside.

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

    Sure, enjoy your 20 fps framerate drops on some non-exclusive titles because the settings are too high for it to handle. LCD can be "barely playable" at times.

    Bricked PS3's

    If you've got an extra laptop HD lying around "bricking" usually is pretty simple to fix with a hard drive swap. But yea, safe mode can be a pain to enter sometimes - when I had to reformat the first time took me.... like.... 12 tries to get it right since it's listening for beeps, if you look...

    Yes, it's been stated they'll be giving at least one free PS4 title a month with PS+. Currently for the title scheduled it's one AAA (Driveclub) and the rest have been Indie titles (although some really nice looking ones, don't know the list offhand would have to recheck).

    The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

    Combat gives me a "Mass Effect" feel - and that's a good thing.

    He also skipped that the free PS+ games (as well as any PSN titles bought digitally) will work on two PS3's as well (for PS3 titles, Vita is just a single however - no word on PS4) - so some value added for those with two systems as well. Like the wife and I got BL2 + Season Pass for both of...

    You run a high tier LGS? Because that was from discussion with the SCG affiliate from DC - and they stated "from WOTC" not distributor. (And in fact they're large enough these days that they do some distribution since Chessex bought out and gutted The Armory) - and when they got ship 1 in it was...

    WOTC has started sending lots of stuff in waves - my local store is quoting an expectation of three waves for DOTP promos. (They got two waves on MM for example)

    Titanfall

    Quotes I've heard are "arcade type racer, to be compared to Forza" in the previews I've seen talk about it. It talks about Forza and GT being different animals though.

    Titanfall

    Thorne: If you've got a PS4 preordered, might as well see how Driveclub is for scratching the same itch first, no? Forza 5 is likely up to snuff with the others, but who's to say Driveclub won't be? And it's included with PS4's first month of PS+ so basically zero risk.

    Dark Souls 2

    Stick to the advice for order (at least until/if trophying - if you're going for the trophy even though they'll be harder on NG+ I'd still recommend Smough last for the initial runthrough personally - but opinions will vary) - don't be afraid to summon assistance for it as well. Although it is a...

    Yea, there we go 3.5mm - knew I wasn't far off but it didn't look right. But honestly I'm really confused what possible benefit a USB hub looking connector would give - do they at least have an excuse that it's digital vs. analog for a better transmission or some bullshit like that? Not an...

    Odd wasn't that familiar and only pics I could find on the official X360 site don't show them on the connector thing. And re below - not micro-USB, standard 5mm prong jack is what it shows (and what I seem to recall X360 using).

    I take it that hooks to the bottom of the controller? Why would they change the controller connection from 5mm (or whatever mm) to USB for a connection to the fucking controller? What sense does that make for a USB connection? It is neat that the volume controls are there though.

    Board Game - Cthulhu Wars (Kickstarter, already funded)

    Something involving a phrase like "more money than sense"? Not that I'd agree, game looks quite neat and minis should be usable for many things (I plan to use them with Arkham Horror as well - and looking cheaper than getting the official AH figs while more imposing in appearance and quality)

    Buttons + right triggers most frequently. Not even technically all the buttons (which the D-Pad often functions as buttons often these days). Besides shooters I'd agree the configuration is mostly right - only thing I'd say is off with it is it makes you go 8 and 2 with the way most games want...

    True, just been so lazy about finding a console clan I liked being late to the generation due to MMO's keeping me away the first half.

    Right, easy to do right now - not many people will kick you from a team from not having an OPTIONAL accessory. An included one will become "use your mic or we'll boot you" in some random teams no doubt.

    I realize the benefits - I just hate it from a "hating most people's voices and mannerisms" thing. I'd rather lose and not be forced to listen to people chatter about stupid nonsense half the time or chewing someone out for a misplay. Especially the former - Christ every single round last...

    The Last of Us

    Interesting to read - if it's crossbuy I might still Vita it when I get it anyhow though. 30 fps isn't bad to me as long as it's not much below. Apparently following up on seeing when the Vita version released (apparently this week) it says there's a Jak IV in works for PS4 doesn't say the...

    Think it's even on Vita now too - was just looking for the Borderlands Xpac last night and saw a Jak & Daxter collection listed for Vita last night. Didn't look at it beyond the blurb though, so not sure which it covers.

    Only dislike is the push for voice chat with the included headset - I loathe voice chat and it's going to basically force it.
