    Yeah I'll definitely feel better about paying $25 a month (or whatever) for cheaper maternal care for women and drug addicts than paying for a_skeleton_03 to get drunk in Germany.

    I don't want to be mean because I respect you but it's usually a tool used by people to make reasonable arguments absurd so they feel more comfortable not believing or addressing them mentally.

    It seems like every other post you make about this has some retarded metaphorical argument jammed in there like a porcupine up a badger's ass.

    Nice gotcha. What about the } Large Group fully insured } Self-funded (ASO) plans exceptions? Do they cover most plans? I don't know what either of those terms mean.

    Yeah a large map turn based strategy where you get moves between missions / events sounds good if they implement it well and have actual gameplay with a chance of failure.

    Yeah sending assassins around got old really fast since it was just clicking shit in a user interface instead of playing a game. Hopefully that tedium only takes a few seconds between missions.

    Same here. Hopefully they've found a way to make the excellent platform of ship fighting gameplay have more depth and to add more gameplay impacting ways to spend money. The AC games in general and AC3 specifically suffer from giving you everything you need to beat the game and making the money...

    It's hard to tell from the uneven recordings we have of BF4, but so far the evidence is pointed to the difference not being massive.

    Any xbone vs ps4 comparisons using Black Flag out there?

    Yeah we'll see, but I'm inclined to agree with you.

    Yeah I'm hearing mixed stuff about the FPS. Overall it seems like PS4 edges out Xbone. I still feel like devs are going to target 30-45fps in games just to improve visual quality elsewhere. If you want a smooth 60fps you'll need a PC.

    Thanks for looking out. I know it's a little silly but I see all these people dumping hundreds of dollars into buying new ships, yeah the developer has a lot of credibility and yeah there's obviously a lot of work being done on this, but these people are still going to be REALLY burned if the...

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

    This seems pretty conclusive and much different than the first comparison in that area. PS4 comes out on top here in ways different from aliasing and resolution. You can see the objects in the distance have a higher LOD on PS4 than Xbox and the PS4 does well with shadows that the xbox doesn't...

    I feel like expectations were too high for the first batch of games running on the new consoles. People knew the systems were new for the developers and they didn't have adequate time to work on them + they were probably bugger, we also knew that they were mid-grade power, but still I think we...

    What part of rendering at 1080 vs 720 is helped by having more or faster ram?

    Sean thinks that they'll take full advantage of both platform's capabilities. I think the difference will be much more modest but we'll see. Just rendering the same everything at 720p vs 1080p is a huge difference, so maybe we'll see a lot along those lines. One of the biggest differences...

    As for the TOS I was going to say, "Yeah no shit, that stuff is pretty common" but then I read it. Does this mean that everytime I load up BF4 and solo-no-scope-headshot-ace the enemy team that I'm going to see myself in an EA commercial?

    Settle down dirty console peasants! The PC is a valid discussion topic in this thread but it is wholly irrelevant. We all know that PC is a superior gaming platform to console, the argument does not need to be repeated.

    Unless I'm wrong the lifetime insurance only covers the ship you got with your pledge. Which means it's worthless unless the ship you bought two years before the game comes out is actually competitive after more than a couple days of playtime. To me it seems like a lifetime warranty on training...

    Yeah I had a wedding MC too who was a friend of mine that I paid $50 to. Paying more than $500 for a DJ blows my mind. All you need is a mic, a laptop and a speaker system.

    Whether the woman changes, is disappointed in the marriage or purposefully puts on a show until she gets married doesn't really matter. Both men and women commonly find the person they married isn't the person they're married to.
