a better statistic is that 5 million amounts to 1.5% of the population of the united states.  If i’m gonna raise concerns about what 1.5% of the people are doing, it’s not gonna be the crowd that spends their free time playing games and watching porn.  Those dudes are just trying to get by. 

is it safe to assume that “faze fans” largely means “gulible children with access to their parents’ credit cards and bottom feeding scammers” at this point.

meh, i haven’t played vice city in nearly 20 years at this point. I don’t think i’d even have noticed if not for this article.

this looks fantastic. actually excited for november now. my only other wish would be a toggle for old graphics vs new graphics like the halo remasters but i’m happy with how this is looking so far. 

Memes are dumb, memes in games are dumb but I’m ok with it. My kids fucking love memes and there’s no doubt who they’re pandering to with these. Microsoft needs a new generation to embrace halo in order for it to continue to be a core franchise for them.

while i would love to see the original uncharted games get ported to the PC, uncharted 4 is a fantastic ride and stands up just fine on its own even without full prior knowledge of the series. The game will make references older games from time to time and expect you to recognize sully and elena’s place in nathan’s…

as the resident “parent who plays video games” in my social circles, i often get asked about this kind of stuff. The biggest thing i’ve noted about this topic is that most parents will suck it up and buy whatever their kids tell them too. Is it anti consumer, yes. Only people who are on a budget are the ones who will…

except that these are games that have been out for over 30 years and what this guide actually is, is closer to fan art than a copyright infringement. I’m not denying that nintendo is within their rights to do this, i’m just reminding them that what they’re doing is a dick move.

the thing that people always must be aware of in the age of social media is that we now have nearly completely unfiltered access to all the dumbest thoughts of humanity.

Just imagine the dumbest person you personally know. Like someone so dumb that you’re honestly surprised they’re still alive. Now imagine that person…

except fortnite has been doing exactly the opposite for some time now. Mouse and keyboard players regularly appear in my controller lobbies.  it’s pretty apparent when it happens too. mouse and keyboard players often are faster builder and editors and can much more quickly and accurately aim and hit targets.

This, he looks like his origin story is that a tanker of toxic waste spilled onto a gigantic pile of the collective excrement of the entire internet. I can not understand why people watch him.

imagine a world so wholesome that it just didn’t occur to people to try to cheat at games.   Assholes, all of them, the pe0ple making this, the people buying it,  all of them.

i get what you’re saying but it’s really down to player preference and with crossplay becoming more of a thing, input based advantages are hard to protect against. Fortnite is in a similar state where mouse and keyboard players and controller players are thrown into the same lobbies. To make it even more complicated,…

it’s not really cheating because the controller just provides another button for you to map an existing button to so for example you’re getting 2 “A buttons”.  It’s useful for games where players can jump while not having to move their thumbs off the stick.  advantage yes, cheating not really.  in fact microsoft has…

after the 4th time failing it and hearing “all you had to do was keep up with the train CJ”

Huh, i could’ve sworn i heard DF or somebody talk about that Golem Character being a fully rigged character composed of nanite meshes but i could be wrong.  either way, UE5 is definitely a better paint brush for people skilled enough to work with it.  I look forward to seeing what people make i hope it performs well.

one of the UE5 demos they released had an entire character Golem made out of the nanite system that i was referencing so i think it’s on the table but we’ll see

from what i understand about Unreal Engine 5, it’s supposed to automatically scale the detail of assets it renders based on how close you are to seeing them, ie assets up close have more detail than from far away because who case about eye lashes on a human across the room from you but the important thing is that…

i would swap “impressive” for “noteworthy” as this was done by a man of ridiculous financial means in the midst of a global pandemic where many people are struggling. I don’t find it very impressive that some rich asshole in a stupid hat can take a space ride with other rich assholes for a minute. i’m more impressed…

agree, i felt it’s been an impressive strategy pivot after they lost ground on install base to sony last generation and the disastrous messaging around the xbox one launch.
