I don’t know.

I appreciate your explanation, but what you’re talking about is exactly what I have a problem with. Trademarking the word “react” for video entertainment purposes leaves way too much room for interpretation as to who is and who is not infringing on that trademark. At any time, the Fine Bros. could claim that somebody…

Yeah, that stuff about people watching their content 100 years from now was unbelievable. In 100 years, technology and society will be so different that YouTube will likely have been long forgotten in favor of something like holographic entertainment that can turn your entire living room into a virtual TV/movie set.…

An excellent indie adventure with a focus on conversations. Patricia really enjoyed the voice acting and music.

I agree that they’ve really shot themselves in the foot. All they had to do was nothing to maintain goodwill and keep raking it in.

As I understand it, Lara is still the only one with fancy hair effects. I think Pure Hair looks more natural than TressFX did in the last game, but it still doesn’t react to being wet. I would personally be okay with turning it off in the Xbox One version for better overall performance if that option were available to…

I’m glad the game runs so beautifully on my Xbox One. Kudos to the Crystal Dynamics team for doing such an incredible optimization job.

They’ll just have to use a different name and logo.

They said that they were going for the “react” trademark because they were afraid somebody else would get it. But what they might not have considered is that nobody should have a trademark on that word in the entertainment space. They’re venturing into some scary territory.

I didn’t know The Witness had 70-80 hours of content. I wouldn’t have expected that. That changes my perception of the game. Maybe it’s worth the asking price after all.

I don’t know much about The Talos Principle, nor do I know its pricing history.

The Professor Layton games have a character-driven story, dialogue, music, multiple characters, and multiple puzzle types. I haven’t seen any of those things in what I’ve seen of The Witness. What would the Professor Layton games have been if you were just walking around with no characters and no music and solving…

It’s going to be a Tomb Raider weekend for me. I’ll be getting back into Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One), and I’ll also be continuing my playthrough of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (also Xbox One).

Come on, Newegg. Just discount the price. Don’t do this rebate garbage.

I imagine that’s how Darth Vader really might have looked if the character had been created in this day and age.

Oh. Well that fixes that, then. Thanks for the info.

One thing I noticed in the graphics comparison video is something I’ve noticed a lot in Xbox One games: the so-called “crushing” blacks. Personally, I think it has improved the look of Xbox One games (creating deeper blacks that result in a more realistic look), and this is no exception. Take a look at this close-up…

Ah, looks like the article was edited to say Gears 2 instead.

If they’ll make Gears 2 available sometime soon, I’ll have the entire set in digital form.
