So America's open war on black people continues.

Dude, right???!!! I was like Isaiah who???

I think it was one single front of a larger war. The negative buzz was definitely out there pre-Orth.

Its perhaps not how I personally read into the situation: it is an objective assessment from someone who understands business. I don't hate on Orth because of some sort of seething fanboy rage. My assessment is purely from the perspective of someone who understands how his actions put at risk the business of…

Thats not how I read the situation:

You're missing ample servings of the word "superior". These fucking nerds love that word. I remember a comparison between the 360 and PS3 versions of Street Fighter 4, and due to sharper, higher contrast water sparkles in the background of a single level, the 360 was deemed the "superior" version. The idiot actually…

To me, I read the article and it felt as if Luke was defaulting to the "graphics don't matter" issue because he's most likely thinking of getting an XBO. If the shoe were on the other foot, we'd probably see an article from him detailing resolution differences or an article on inside information on the development of…

And onward for my wish for a species ending catastrophe to end us all. Hail Cobra.

Fair enough and good points.

Well, congratulations to the 1% that's actually benefiting from that prosperity!

Great article, Brian. In fact, I would consider it a must-read, especially by those who think "business and management" should stay out of game creation. The old stuttering Japan Studios is EXACTLY what happens when you leave development entirely at the hands of the creatives: nothing will get done. There needs to be…

Fair enough, but just like film studios of late, its sometimes worth giving a franchise a rest once its suspected that its near over-exposure and at risk of tiring itself out, only to reboot it a few years later with much fanfare and resurgent enthusiasm. Let's face it, CnC, while loved by the faithful, isn't really a…

In game V-sync for the PC version is terrible. I strongly advise no one use it, and instead either use no v-sync at all, or adaptive with a smoothing option on (using Nvidia Inspector). Solved a lot of my frame drop issues. Aside from that, it's a gorgeous game. Not the best shooter I've ever played, but a solid…

One day.....one day I will finish it.

Fatal Frame. To this day, I have not finished it.

Having difficulties with the following rig:

I love this. I wish more companies embraced fun in such a way.

I think the question then becomes "What is quality?" So yes, McDonalds has standards they must adhere to, set by organizations like the FDA and such. But the standards here should not be confused with the subjective experience of enjoyment. The food is edible: it contains clean ingredients, has no toxic or dangerous…

I think it is compassion for the series which has me supporting a company that knows it fucked up. Why taint the name of a storied franchise by delivering on a title that will ruin reputations? CnC probably deserves better, and so I feel its wise for a company to cut its losses and realize a mistake was made.

...just as McDonalds isn't out to make quality food, but money as well, and so on and so on. Companies make money, that's what they do. At the end of the day, the only reason for a company to exist is to make money for shareholders. That's reality. I have no illusions around this, nor am I bitter about it, because…
