I never found Borderlands fun, but that is the comparison I hear a lot.

In all of your ranting about how games are having the essence sucked out of them by speed-runs... you seem to be blissfully unaware of the journey it took those players to be able to do a record-setting speedrun in the first place.

Man... the sacrifices we made going to 3D.

Honestly I always felt like that method of doing things was a lot like how traditional animation works. You've got your well-crafted static background... and then some strangely colored bushes on top of that which can be animated, and you have your actors walking around on another layer on top of all that. Then…

Was PS1 capable of doing progressive scan? I thought it was 480i only.

There's way too many trees of relatively high detail in that gif for it to be a PS1 game. Should have just been a single poorly aliased poster image repeated a few times.

Plus there is little more aggravating for people who don't care about trophies/achievements than seeing a slow-moving progress bar block you from getting into your game saying that it has to synchronize trophy data or some bullshit.

Enlighten me, because I don't. This looks more like a pseudo-mosaic style to me.

Actually, a boss rush mode would be a pretty cool addition to the games IMO.

I'm suddenly really aware that Dark Souls features very little fighting on elevators.

* ups the ante with Olga Flow from PSO *

So droopy... dude clearly needs MOAR HAIRSPRAY

PSO did alright and it will probably be fondly remembered long after everyone has forgotten about Dynasty.

Also hospital bills because they have to keep themselves alive in order to play games.

Or, if you want to think like someone who is more interested in games than novels, come up with interesting new genres with fun gameplay instead of making another generic FPS created entirely to demonstrate that you have the latest and greatest PC hardware. But this is Crytek we are talking to here... all they know is…

I don't think they have. I think a lot of people didn't end up playing GTA:O that much, but that's really no skin off their ass unless you were also going to buy money, and I think that was a very small portion of players who would do that.

Man... I had a 52" 480i TV back in the day. At the time it was considered awesome.

I don't have a setup issue. I perceive this effect the same way at movie theaters, and most of them have projectors that only do 24fps. It's the same using my bluray player as it is if I use my WDTV Live (which also allows me to set the frequency that it sends at). Believe me, I know what I'm doing when it comes to…

It's both actually. The whole up/down stepping thing where some frames get doubled while others get tripled is a different thing that is also annoying, but that's not a problem in my case since my television supports 24, 30, 60, and 120hz signals. (It has a 120hz refresh rate, so it just does 5x duplication per frame…

Not in 2014 it isn't. I haven't seen TVs without HDMI inputs for sale in many years now.
