Haha, I don’t know about that—but consistency is important to me, and even the most dedicated framerate proponents have to concede 1) more games support 60 FPS than 144 FPS by a huge margin and 2) keeping a consistent 60 FPS is a lot easier than a consistent 120 at any resolution. But there are also people who don’t…

No, you’re not. And you’re probably better off ignoring the few dozen people who’re going to tell you that they know what you see, with your eyeballs, in your head, better than you do.
Yikes, I haven’t played on a 20" monitor in more than ten years. So yes, it’s extremely noticeable for me. Ironically, all my desktop activities are done at 150% scale in Windows 10 (with a few exceptions, flipping back and forth is easy), but yeah, I don’t do 1440p gaming anymore for the exact same reason I don’t do…
On my LG UHD monitor, the difference between 2160p and 1440p is metaphorical night and day—to the point where 1440p on certain titles looks like a muddy, unattractive mess (particularly ones with extensive UIs, surprisingly). But SLI support is still very hit-or-miss (the last SLI build I did was two GTX 480…
I know the feeling. On PC anyway, it’s very hard for me to go back to 1440p after getting used to 2160p (it doesn’t hurt that the FPS benefit, when it’s there, is not always proportionate—on a GTX 1080, I don’t get 2.25x the framerates, most obviously). It probably doesn’t help that my 31-year-old eyeballs find…
My memory of this debate in a strange way starts a little more than 20 years ago, when I started watching The Simpsons (which was among my first exposure to American culture, long before I came to the United States). Primarily in the sense that the titular family in the show doesn’t actually look Caucasian. I had to…
So I went ahead to do this—it’s already been disabled to my surprise (I am using a borrowed console after all). The short ad blurbs in the ticker are still there (after the update message), as are occasional things that pop up. Nothing to sleep over, but yeah... :D
Lucky! I’m envious, I even get them in the ticker, PS3 style. Maybe my friends list is too short!
No, I’m not. I was looking at them, and “for the most part” still means some advertising, but as I said they can be ignored.
The ticker...not sure how you miss that, it’s there no matter what. Though the content changes, for me it’s promo stuff (“Play this!” “This is on sale!”). For the square graphic ads, just read the previous posts. You’ve probably ignored them, that’s a natural thing to do.
All that in the ticker? Wow, that’s impressive!
To be fair, the Superb Owl is superbly related to video gaming.
Really? I guess I need to get more friends, mine just lists games (and I think some videos) on promotional. :D
“The other half,” haha—okay, fair enough. To be honest, I get the impression from people who do have the service that they encounter them as well in the same places—there’s the little ads that come up on the home screen and the ads in the ticker (a holdover form the PlayStation 3 days, when Sony was apparently trying…
...changes to the PS4's user interface and menu should please everybody.
Whoops! I was off for the prices, 1 TB SSD drives are $200 (closer to $250 or $300).
If i was MS/Sony/Ninti i’d cram as big storage into the devices as i could without making the devices overly expensive, because really, that’s the part of investment that totally repays itself over time.
It’s a little off-topic, but to address the regards to the Xbox One X’s hard drive: it’s a dilemma without a good solution. It’s not that the insufficient capacity argument isn’t valid, it is, but at the same time it is in direct opposition to another argument: the Xbox One X’s hard drive isn’t too small, it’s too slow…
I don’t think it’s a massive data breach, so while inconvenient, it’s not something to lose sleep over. It’ll probably clear up in a week or so when the two major releases see their populations drop off to normal levels.
