    The plain truth of it is Microsoft needed to catch up to Sony, so it was worth it to them to push backwards compatibility on a game by game basis. They don’t have their entire library backwards compatible because it’s a HUGE pain to make their old games run smoothly while being emulated on a moderate step up from old…

    I may not have made it clear. Of course it’s incompatible (hence the emulation), but the requirement for smooth emulation are likely beyond the PS4 hardware’s capability. For some games maybe, but not the end of life AAA games.

    That’s debatable. Not all games run well with ESX (if that’s the emulator you are referring to), and not all PS2 games worked on PS3. They even ditched backwards compatibility very early on with the PS3.

    So you think my reasoning is bunk and then use my same reasoning to say it’s too computationally expensive? I think we are both arguing the same thing here...I am not saying it’s impossible to emulate their cell architecture, but it wouldn’t run well on the PS4 and therefor not be worth it.

    They cannot make PS4 backwards compatible because the architecture changed from their cell (PS3) towards x86 (PS4). The PS4 cannot even handle a PS3 game while emulating the PS3 architecture.

    This is 1 day too late for me. This morning at 4:01am someone hacked my account and charged $30 for Neverwinter Nights gems, and I am not finding an effective way of disputing the charge.

    I really hope they don’t use taxpayer money on these so called “citizens”. If you’re not in a car, you don’t deserve to have any public finds, imo.

    Hey Shep,

    Hey Shep,

    This looks much better than I had hoped for after Skyward Sword. I really hope they pull this off as I’m getting that long forgotten anticipation for a new Zelda game by watching this.

    Yes, it is quite clear that they don’t believe it is wrong to promote a deal from their company. I’m glad we established that. Your views are just your own and you do not get to whine about people doing something you would not do.

    Maybe they want to let their readers decide who to support and who to boycott themselves? I personally don’t eat there because of it, but I wouldn’t expect a deals site to impose their views on everyone either.

    Loving the paranoia. As with all of the data Apple currently collects, the user is always kept anonymous. They would not be very smart in facilitating the ticketing of their users as well unless it was an industry standard (and more likely a law requiring them to do so). If they were the only ones giving you tickets,…

    C15LimitedTime does not work for the AMC gift cards. It says the code cannot be used for this item.

    I will never forgive Bungie for removing the story of Destiny and replacing it with that half-assed bandaid of a plot. The gameplay is too good to be paired with utter garbage. I enjoyed the game even before any expansions because the gameplay was that good! It could have truly been a masterpiece with the story to go…

    I think the point is that it’s not abnormal to talk marriage and kids after a short time, but that and ALL THE OTHER CRAZY SHIT combined with that would make it a red flag.

    Disliking the nuances of different cultures does not make someone racist. It’s called culture bias. Sharing an opinion about dance moves, in this case, that she doesn’t like them, is not even disrespectful. It’s an opinion that was expressed as such.

    Your husband is wrong.

    I’m not sure how they planned 10 years of development for Destiny, and decided pretty last minute to cut the story. I see glimpses of what could be an interesting plot point that just ultimately doesn’t go anywhere. The gameplay is second to none, but how can you entice people to come back year after year with zero…

    Would this work with a PS4? I heard there may be some weird sizing going on in the PS4's HD bay.
