I'm just glad that when I was a teen, the only option was dial-up, and people have their manners checked on recording someone else without their permission. This is why sometimes I HATE cameras on phones, and I loathe even more the people who uses them like they own the f****** world.
... I've just noticed, it wasn't long that RPS and Eurogamer posted articles about why the industry does not want a woman as a lead character... I think this gender bias trend is going to be in the spotlight for a while.
Also, Tomb Raider, so those articles can be nullified.
Depends on which part that they are objecting against. Does objecting against a no-warning public slander make me a moron? I mean really, they could have just talk over it face-to-face than putting it up over the internet.
Fixed... and we need an edit button quick.
I think game duration pales in comparison to other factors which makes a game a league above others: gameplay mechanics, storyline, graphical art style, moral enlightenment, subtlety...
I just want to facepalm after reading the comments here. Seriously guys?! I sure hope that a single-player game duration is THAT important to you. I guess MMOs are your favourites? I mean, REALLY?!
Out of topic: was reading Forbes' article of the Dish Hopper before I spotted the Thinkpad Helix. Holy crap I really want that. I hope Windows 8 can bring back the creativity in making elegant tech.
If you were a music-slash-tech geek, there is no way in hell you'd ditch the Zune. Oddly enough my first introduction to it was from a hate-post by an self-proclaimed iPod fan...
Relax, its not a political debate or anything. Besides, I'm gonna do the best part in this thread :p
"Those who score 100 or above are able to figure out Windows8 in five minutes without any help.
Those who score below 100 figure it out with some help.
Those who score below 100 but think...
In all seriousness, I really, REALLY want AMD (along with Intel and Nvidia) to survive this. Because, you know... Other than sentimental value, there is also them being the RGB combo.
Really? I'd say DX11 is a ridiculous resource hog that needs to be toned down in DX11.1. I've seen better looking games in DX9 while maintaining a smooth gameplay performance throughout. Look at Dear Esther: it looks really beautiful, but its not a resource big even at full settings.
Oh, I...
You should seriously try Sins of a Solar Empire. One of the few games that actually put strategy (read: thinking before making an important decision) into the spotlight.
Real-Time Strategy games that, you know... Puts strategic thinking into the spotlight (Sins of a Solar Empire). I don't really see those Craft games as strategic-oriented. Its there, but it feels like the clicking and action takes the centre stage.
Countdown RPG. Wow, when is the last time...
"Gaming aficionados will pay up, they say, because the bigger games are of higher quality."
... Right.
And Starcraft is a higher quality RTS than Sins of a Solar Empire. :rolleyes:
AAA games are messing up the standards here really bad. I f****** hate it when upping the difficulty only...
that is what's bothering me about this site actually. Its called HARDforum, so I expected them to be tech-hardcore. Like, they can adapt to many tech-related circumstances and such... Turns out not many :/
And then there's the 3 year old kid who quickly uses Windows 8 like its just another OS.
*sigh* I bet he's just too young to realise how hard using Windows 8 is like. :cool:
