On PS4 Used from a bit back - while yes it's an indicator that there's going to be some form of used protection - assuming it will be mandatory is contradictory to SCEA's own statements on the matter. It's not impossible for say SCEA titles to not be "used locked" while EA games are or whatever...

As long as you're not expecting Master of Magic - and instead something more akin to Civ/Alpha Centauri (especially the latter) - it's superb. I had MOM stuck in my head for a bit and couldn't get into it, once I got away from thinking MOM it really clicked. (Note: Talking pre-expansion -...

Daid: It's basically a revamp + expansion pack to it - so the fundamentals are the same, just tweaked - including a TON of performance tweaks that I've seen noted.

Oh man, don't get into a VF debate with me - VF was wonderful almost tactical with its pacing.

What is with the KI obsession I've seen? It wasn't anything too special. Unless I missed something from back in the Virtua Fighter/KI/SF Turbo days.

Hell, goddamn yes - disappointed that it'll be so far in the future for release - but otherwise hell yes.

From past statements they're only taking something like 20% - the other 80% are going to animal charities.

Heh, just mused something with Xbone cloud nonsense after reading that - is it just me or does their choice of wording be something that would apply to other OWNED Xbone consoles ala "Folding" with the wording they used? They said "we'll make available in the cloud" or something similar, sounds...

You do realize hackers that "forced" games to work with the Vita remote play on the PS3 had something like an 80% success rate doing nothing more than turning the feature on for games it wasn't on for, right? Game still runs on the base unit, all the "coding" needed are to change the graphic...

She was on Dexter too - Season 2 or 3? Topless in a bit - 'Pardon my tits'

More realistic (and cooler potentially IMO) - would be to expect base spells that are consistently available with few hiccups and a few premium spells with small bonus modifiers to make them better - but ideally with SPECIAL EFFECTS when they're done. For example the classic Ice Comet "smash"...

I don't care about headsets so mine are all cheap pieces of crap - but it's pretty easy to understand someone who invested in a $200+ headset deal would be upset about not being able to use it because of an input change when fidelity is already basically perfect on the expensive ones.

Am I the only one that always turns "rumble features" off for 99.9% of games that this is completely irrelevant to?

I'd actually bother with a 360 again for a digital only cheapie like that - especially considering how many failed 360's have been because of the optical drive.

It's wonderful that it's quoted as "a percentage" - 100% is a percentage. LOL.

Technically they are when it comes to the store per login with having to kludge some addresses and payment to make it "region-free" for the PSN Store(s) - but that's just a technicality. (And a stupid one I'll add, but one I've seen people say defending other systems region locking)

Depends when you asked - episode 1 I was still moderately excited - episode 3 I was getting close to dropping it - after the last couple I'm anxious to see it each week. To me it seems like it just needed an appropriately buildup of stories to get everything rolling - like the Castithen...

Indeed there is so many interpretations even of just the King James version - much less delving into other printings. I think when I realized that is when faith started its beginnings of disillusionment to me.

Baptists I know all quote Leviticus personally in regards to homosexuality. ("If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable." - Leviticus 18) And while you'd be accurate on it's literal position for Revelations, it's not considered part of the NT...

Apparently they time traveled after Jesus walked the Earth to make sure it was written first to provide the contrast - then they through it in first to keep that "Momento" vibe going.

I was a Catholic deacon at one point - so I'd consider myself more versed than the average bear - but sure there's always opinion mixed in. But when you see some Protestant faiths that have readings from the OT the majority of the time, and support or disapprove activities out of the OT the...

Depending on the branch of Christianity - some weight OT very heavily. (For example all those against homosexuality - never mentioned in the NT, End of Days - not NT)

As you said right below this, they're just playing around with semantics. The core thing of there being a "used fee" is not in dispute, it's just the silly technicalities of it and largely how it effects Gamestop that they're toying around with clarifying.

Do you understand what the word "dispute" means? Because neither article disputes it.

Yea, Revelations was quite solid - was the only game I had for the 3DS I enjoyed - looking forward to grabbing this version in the coming weeks.

Makes sense, "Hey make other companies more money" was rather the theme of it - so influencing people who thought the smartphone deal looked cool and new to spend $$ on the next Nokia W8 phone certainly would fit the theme of the show. Good catch.

Besides, doesn't PIP across inputs already exist on some TVs? (I know mine doesn't - but neither has PIP since I don't care about it for similar reasons)

Hookers and blow, clearly

Not on the system side means it's down to stuff like Online Gamepass type stuff and internet activation (and they've stated that internet won't be required for a check-in - perhaps it would be for initial activation under their statements but nothing past that). And since it's per publisher...

My partial expectation is that if it remains true we see a divide in games pricing between them - no resale is part of why PC games generally were $10-20 below console, sane expectation would be the same for a no resale console. So in the end probably the same net profit based on market share...

They said negative to it before that the only special protections were online passes and the like that the hardware didn't get directly involved with. And have had a recent statement since the X-1 release reaffirming.

Depends on the server in question - but I get that with some nearly across the nation with speedtest.net - not sure it's veracity but I always thought it was solid. Drops a bunch for hops that go through the MAE's though, but much of my west coast tracerts seem to avoid them. Regardless even...

Are they really or are you speaking of your connection? If you've got 15 ms each way it shouldn't be too bad in theory unless they take a while to process (thats my current normal ping myself now) - but on the other hand 125ms (my Comcast ping pre-FiOS) going both ways could get quite painful...

Lenas: Technically its almost entirely graphics for what OnLive sends from what I've read. It's really not much different than a Netflix stream at the same resolution. But what are the resolution limits for OnLive though?

More importantly in the comparison between X1 and PS4 why is it even being mentioned - PS4 is already cloud accessible, clearly from their statements on their half-assed backwards compatibility they'll be doing.

"Fat and happy" - so I'd imagine relatively big but not morbidly obese.

That is goddamn hilarious - the trainwreck keeps delivering.

Ok, good you don't seem to be supporting it overall - but still - market erosion a bit here and a bit there adds up you have to admit. Alienating the "crazy" market element could actually prove substantial.

And you don't honestly think that there's enough "fucking lunatics" out there to impact sales and make it so that the X-1 doesn't go the way of the Dreamcast from lack of adoption from people that are afraid of being spied upon? Honestly? Even assuming this was the best console in the world...

It's not a worry of mine personally (nor am I fond of Cheeto's - I'm a pretzel man myself) - but lots of people are very privacy worried in the US - in case you're low on friends and have never noticed that as a result. And on "smartphones doing it" - I'm not up on iPhones but I've reviewed a...
