Honest question here: When considering exclusives, do people really consider a game that is (hypothetically) on both the X1 and 360 as "non-exclusive"? Because I generally consider exclusives based on the company. I.e. Xbox vs Playstation vs PC. I guess it's because *most* of the time we really don't have to think…

I think all exclusives are foolish. It's cutting out (significant) portion of your market. Especially in this generation as both consoles are so similar hardware-wise. Their porting costs have to be much less than past generations. I get why it's good for Microsoft. I don't think it's good for consumers, and I'd…

I really don't understand why everyone is giving you such a hard time. It seems obvious that you don't own a X1 or 360 and many, many people either can't or do not wish to play on PC. Don't let them get to you. You were being perfectly reasonable.

I don't think casual gamers are now playing something better (at least most of them). They're probably playing Candy Crush now. There's always another highly addicting, but ultimately shallow novelty around the corner. Seems like no one has really managed to hold their fickle attention for long.

You'd think by now the programmers could recognize when you were in one of those areas and not allow deletion. "Professor Oak: You can't do that right now!"

No, I'm totally fine with it being a Captain America movie. Rationally I understand that they can't just call in the Avengers for everything, or I'd quickly grow bored of the movies. That said, they were the ones who brought up Tony Stark multiple times in the movie. It seems only fair that they give us a line about…

The biggest issue to me isn't that Steve didn't contact Stark, because as you said, why would he? But rather that Stark who supposedly easily hacked SHIELD's computers wouldn't at least keep an eye on them. And then later when they arrest Captain America on TV. You think he really wouldn't look into that? Sure he may…

It seems like sort of a failing if your super awesome hero team can't be scrambled in ~48 hours or less. Most modern military's can do that. Sure maybe a couple would miss out (Thor), but most other should've made it.

I don't really believe that Steam is cluttered yet, but I do think it's a real issue. We already face this on the app stores. There are just too many of them out there, that even with filters it becomes hard to manage. I don't think Steam being more open is necessarily a bad thing, but I don't think that people who…

I don't know, it seems like decent advice to me. Buying a prebuilt computer from one of the boutique vendors is a good way to get started (as they allow you to easily upgrade parts later), but with the added comfort of a warranty and tech support. The also aren't generally that much more expensive if you shop around a…

Well I can see how you thought heated seats were kind of a silly luxury, but they were never really a detriment. At most, you'd be paying for a feature you didn't use. Screens on the other hand actively replace buttons and are in about 90% of the cases an inferior control method. It's the kind of thing that you're…

Anyone know if they're planning any tweaks to the dashboard anytime soon? I'd love to have a bit more control over what shows up on there.

No I agree. Pepsi seems really dependent on how fresh it is. Let it sit for just a short time and it tastes like syrup.

I find it hilarious that the only reply to you is a guy picking apart your cost estimation for PCs. Completely missed the point.

As much as the primal part of me loved the drama surrounding the PS4/X1 release, I think ultimately the outright condoning of fanboyism by Sony was a bad move. Not that companies haven't done this before (even in the console space), but boy was that like throwing a match into a gasoline can. I can get on board with…

I catch myself falling for this a lot. Mostly because when I really like something it's typically because I find it connects to me in some meaningful way. Hearing someone speak negatively about that thing touches on the core part of me that connected with it. It hurts.

I felt like the 3rd movie seemed to indicate that the humans were more of a pest at that point. We see from their perspective a great and glorious battle, but when faced against the true might of the machines it becomes apparent that we only ever existed as necessary inefficiencies in the system. The humans seemed to…

I can see how you might not like the particular type of games that PC offers, but you can't claim that PC lacks in the sheer number of exclusive titles. Whole genre's are exclusive to PC's entirely. You may not be an RTS, MOBA or MMO fan, but those are largely still PC exclusive. There are a lot of other games that…

Interestingly, even if there is objectively, definitely no difference between two rival products, people will invent one to fit in with their perception of a brand. There's a famous study that blind-tested the taste of Coke and Pepsi; in the blind test, people preferred Pepsi, but once they were told which glass of…

Well I was just talking about setting for showing the credits/intro movie, not the game itself. Basically if the game has been played before skip showing the Nvidia/Speedtree/EA logos and go straight to the main menu. It had nothing to do with your game saves.
