    Times like these I wish we could just have a Bro Down and resolve our issues in a civilized manner.

    2013 VGX Awards (Formerly known as the VGAs)

    Yes, VGX is fucking stupid and someone deserves to be punched in the face for the name change. Yes, doing this shit before December is over still fucking retarded. Yes, VGAs are still dumb and mostly only there to be used for future advertising. Yes, the name VGX makes a mockery out of all of...

    hodj, just let it go bro. You made your point, people get it. You hammered it firmly in there. At this point people very firmly understand your feelings. They may not agree with you, but they get it.

    It's a joke about the PS4's "wobble" which isn't really wobble nor an actual issue.

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

    Thank god, Brandon's voice is back:Need for Speed Rivals Review | GameTrailers This game kinda makes me wish I was into racing games with how atypical it is. Sadly by the time I would have money to buy this now I'm not sure that I'll be willing to jump into it.

    Yeah, some people clearly did that. The bigger sites have them for office work though. They were actually the most annoyed at the event, since they usually have different reviewers cover different games and could only send like 1-2 people to the thing. Sony really should have just shipped...

    They did not get those PS4s to take home. Those are all Office PS4s, or are supposed to be anyways.

    Do you have a video card that can actually do 4k/2160p at 60hz+? Most now only do 30hz on that resolution don't they? You're probably better off buying a high quality 30" 1440p monitor or waiting until the Gsync monitors come out. If you're going for a TV and not a monitor just buy a super high...

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    FXAA is usually awful and can blur the fuck out shit and generally is a bad choice unless a developer has done some heavy modifications to it (like Killzone SF which uses FXAA + TMAA). MSAA is always better looking than it if your PC can handle it.

    Fallout 4

    There just shouldn't be "morality meters" that you work towards filling up. Games should record your actions and build up consequences towards them. If you keep acting like a dick, people should treat you accordingly. If you're mostly doing good shit then people should note that, but if you mix...

    Part of the enjoyment of Mass Effect was also "being in the moment" and sharing that experience with everyone as it happened. Being there on release for all of the games is a BIG part of the collective love of it.

    DA is fantasy, but I don't think it's that generic. The blight stuff is pretty cool and how the world perceives and treats Mages is actually pretty interesting. Plus the whole Fade stuff.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Turn Based Strat games like Civ work fine on a gamepad if you design the control system well enough for it (and Civ Rev on the X360 was pretty fun). It's really only RTS that is pretty shitty on a gamepad, though it'sdoable- there were a few C&C games and stuff like Halo Wars. Neither genre...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Meh, that's 100% a design decision and not a limitation of games having to support controllers. Especially since console and PC players do not play on the same servers. It is purely a choice of the developers, because they've tuned it to certain crowd of people. Games as fast as Quake would...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    They'recapableof it, but was a gargantuan amount of work to craft good environmental and level design that would work on the X360/PS3 due to ram limitations. We should see a huge leap in level design quality and size (and much more seamless worlds) on average with this next generation though...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    The "lowest common denominator" thing is less about how games look and graphics (there's plenty of games that look "okay" on the X360/PS3 and absolutely gorgeous on the PC) and more about game design. This is especially true with Dragon Age 2 and how they pushed the combat design more to using a...

    Fallout 4

    Yeah, the good/evil meters really railroad the fuck out of you. DA2's was way better with its choices being more about molding Hawke's personality. It actually changed the tone of his regular dialogue. You could make him more Benevolent, or Aggressive, or Snarky, etc, and it wasn't about...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Perspective I guess, I can understand the PC player hate. As someone who played both DAO (and DA:A and all the many DLC packs) and DA2 on the X360 though it wasn't nearly as bad for me and I had a lot of fun with it. Playing 2H Sword Hawke with a controller was really pretty fantastic.

    Hahah, and don't forget Archer/Bard in FF14 Xarp! I pretty much only play those types in MMOs and in most RPGs/Action games if given the choice, though I do play melee in rare exceptions like the Dragon Age series. Ironically, I'm quite a bit better with melee types in non-MMOs where you...

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

    Yeah, I'm mostly a fan of stealth and/or long range classes. They're usually the only types I play. With how Loki's invisibility works it looks like he's best as using a Shotgun or Melee with his get in/get out and distraction abilities. Usually I play Sniper type stuff, but that style of play...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    That's too bad, I think the game had a lot to offer if you could overlook its failings. As a filthy console peasant the controls were a *massive* upgrade for me in DA2. DAO's were absolute shit in comparison and it was an extremely unresponsive game, especially for the melee classes. They were...

    Oh also - the Legacy DLC was fantastic and pretty much everything that DA2 should have been concerning level design and encounter design. I was REALLY disappointed when they said that they cancelled the DA2 Expansion to work on DAI, because I think that they could have regained a SHITLOAD of...

    Warframe looks kinda fun, but it looks like I'd have to make a serious investment into investigating the game and what I should do and work towards. Especially since the game doesn't fucking tell you a god damned single thing after the basic little tutorial from what I could tell.

    I don't see anything wrong with that assertion. A lot of good people left Bioware and there's some huge assholes in charge. BUT... We wouldn't care as much about DA2's fuck ups though if ME3 hadn't shit the bed. I think it gets way more hate than it deserves because of that. I played through...

    Fallout 4

    Frankly I think "moral" choices are stupid in most games and I'm not a huge fan of any kind of meter for it. Especially in Fallout. There should just be choices that you make or you don't make and it's up to you to determine whether or not you feel there's a morality behind any of them. I think...
