Let me simplify it for you. The data exchanged between the game servers and clients is the same, regardless of platform.

I’m sure it’s more complicated than I made it out to be. Unlike you, I don’t have 1st hand knowledge on this, like you seem to. But, those complications (and please correct me if wrong) are in place whether the game has cross-play or not. I mean if you have more secure best practices for cross-play, you should just…

I’m going to let you in on a secret. Data it data. No matter what system generates it or which systems it passes through, it’s all a stream if 1s and 0s that must be interpreted in specific ways to make any sense of them. Different systems may have different protocols for moving that data around and others for…

Whoa, that’s a the most butch Shadowsun I’ve ever seen.

Punk is anti-culture, not counter-culture.

May people live paycheck to paycheck, even paying rent weekly. When they are out of work due to storms like this, they often lose the apartments. It will be more than just water and wind that displaces people.

This seems redundant. All video games are sisyphean.

The only thing weird about this house is that it’s in Michigan. If you moved it to Florida, it’d be right at home...pun intended.

I thought Baron was named after Trump’s pseudonym John Barron. But I guess both names could come from the magazine.

Really? I thought it meant “I took my first wife’s name and put a ‘k’ in the middle of it so no one would know I want to fuck my daighter”

Except they worship a god who thought it moral to hand down a law stating any betrothed or married woman who is raped in a city but doesn’t make enough noise to draw a crowd, should be taken to the city gate and be stoned next to her rapist. If Methodists and Episcopals were truly about social justice they would have…

I’ll definitely agree with your last statement.

I think we should all be wearing body cameras at this point. This cop would have gotten away with this behavior if the motorcyclist hadn’t had his helmet camera on.

But it’s it? If I were Activision or Bungie, I’d sell it this way: imagine your doing a raid on the PC and one of your team mates has a super fancy gun you’ve never seen. When you ask her where she got, she explains it’s PS exclusive and she earned it on the other platform. At least 25% of gamers who own both…

Here’s hoping there is another one. I really wouldn’t mind if Sucker Punch went on to make new IP. I think that’s when they are at their best. That, or get rid of the Halo combat designer. Infamous 1 & 2 had quirky combat. Second Son just felt like every other 3rd person shooter with more mobility.

Don’t know but probably not. But that’s not a hard problem to solve. Either don’t make that content available, incl. gear, on the PC. Or allow players to earn executive gear on the PS4 and use it on the PC. Or let them earn the gear on the PS4, on the PC the item functions like it’s closest, stock relative but have…

It’s not. Paladins allows you to link your PC and PS4 accounts. There’s no reason Bundle couldn’t do the same.

This. I’m actually playing through I2 now, and I got my favorite side mission last night. Cole is tasked by a police officer to watch a suspect while he gets back up. What I love about it is you can complete it without doing anything other than standing there while the suspect insults Cole. Of course you can kill the…

Unfortunately Second son didn’t live up to its pedigree. The focus on multiple power sets really shows in overall game design. They spent too much time doing a lot of thing than anyone one thing well. And the combat, though improved in some areas, really turned into an exercise of running in, doing a bunch of damage,…

Wow, she ended the article with a quote from Joseph Khan, the inventor of Motorcycle Fu.
