You don't really have "true memories". Your memory is the memory of the impression of a thing, and not the thing itself. Your mother may have loved you beyond everything, but if you somehow weren't convinced, when you look back, your memory would be that she didn't love you.

True, but you sound quite entitled, as if long combo strings are a bad idea, when they aren't. They provide more ground for learning the game, and as long as there is learning to be done - the game is good. Remembering combo strings isn't really hard, and then learning how combos behave in a game (which you just try…

How to get out of a job you hate? Go up to your boss, tell him "FUCK YOU, YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT YOU STUPID CUNT" and piss on his desk. Then start working at whatever, preferably something non-creative if you can't handle someone who doesn't know shit telling you how to do your job, unless you're the boss and the…

According to stuff TB said in one of the latest content patches, Sony is working on stuff, taking in mind the fire MS came under for their thing. They don't want to answer, because they don't have anything finalized, really and whatever they say will anyway be a subject to change.

We can read in on things all we want. For example consider this - many teenagers want to be a hero - which means everybody pays attention to them and people have respect for them. Nobody gets that nowadays, except mass murderers. If you want to be on TV, all you have to do is kill a bunch of people and then yourself,…

I beg to differ. If you think you're using a lot of physical strength, then I assume you have never in your life done anything physically intensive for a long period of time.

How will price depend on a game? How is game value evaluated? Length? No. Replayability? No. Plot quality? No. There is no objective way to set a price for a game. Some game may be worth $10 to you, but $60 to somebody else. Look at Skyrim - I don't think that game is worth more than $20 brand spanking new. People will…

The more I read, the more I see MS wanting to be Apple but in a different market - that's what all this restrictions seem to be. The mere fact that we have to ask ourselves the question "What will happen when the Xbox One servers get hacked and are down for a week?" means it is a bad idea to have any online…

This is the excuse EA used for SimCity. They said that their always online DRM (because here we're looking at always online DRM for hypothetical games) is used mainly to make the game lighter, since a lot of the computing is done on their servers. Do not fall for it - this is online DRM coming into action. Even if the…

But open world races are not racetrack races. I understand flagship games for the new consoles ARE required to push the hardware in some clearly visible fashion - everything needs to be more of it and bigger.

But I don't want to see track racing die just because openworld is more intensive on the hardware. That would…

This, the video, is called satire. I think. Or whatever. The point is, even if you liked the Xbox One announcement, this is still funny.

What do you expect from the people who want to see gaming burn in hell anyway? Of course they love the Xbox One. It's not an exclusively gaming console, and all these non-gamers who don't understand why the console isn't liked, will like it. It's fine the way it is. Just not a gaming thing. A DVD player with internet…

It's probably cool for console gamers, but I really hope they have worked somehow to ensure... well, no game can take the full power of the Xbox to itself. If you open a bunch of tabs, and shit like youtube and facebook and fucking whatever, press CTRL+ALT+DEL to see how much ram your browser is taking. This is ram…

What kind of a dolt came up with the name? Xbox One? That's like this is THE FIRST XBOX AND IT FUCKING ISN'T!

We have reached a point where gigs are borderline irrelevant. What matters is the frequency and speed of memory. This is why I don't hate the PS4's memory, since it is actually decent. Here I need to see frequencies before I can judge. GDDR5 would be fine.

I don't think it's the violence in violent videogames that cause aggression at all. The studies often take competitive violent videogames versus not-so competitive videogames. When I talk competitive, I mean either multiplayer, or singleplayer where losing/failure is an option. Let's compare a FIFA match to CoD…

When it comes to games leading to aggressive thoughts there need to be one question: Is there winning in the game?

If there is, then games need to be compared to sports, not passive media like movies. Sports cause aggressiveness. Even baseball does. Point being, if there is winning or losing, you have the two basic…

So is driving on a paved road harmful? Because the pavement makes the car vibrate, which in return makes it emit radio waves, so people around can catch you vibrating on their receivers and they hear that instead of the weather forecast and go out without knowing what weather it is and they then get exposed to harmful…

Games back in the day raised players to figure shit out on their own - like Dark Souls did. Games nowadays tell players everything they need to know to beat the next challenge, they give them all the perks their character needs for the next challenge, games do not force players to think anymore, and gamers haven't…

In the Witcher Geralt isn't the main moving force behind the story. There is also political conflict that he can't avoid getting involved in just because he gets involved with powerful people and you have to pick one of two sides. The first game is worse than the second, especially when it comes to choices. In the…
