What a perverted way of thinking, I was praying to my lucky rabbits foot that they get to experience rapture already and leave the rest of us "sinners" alone ;). Flag this | Edit this post |

| I won't go as militant as that, I enjoyed guerrilla on the PC with all those sexy effects but to be honest one has to ponder their judgement as well.
I have tried onlive and tbh it sucks if you have a good pc and decent screen. For one the games are not run at their optimal settings for maximum eye candy, second its blatantly obvious its a streaming video just from looking at it in person. Input lag is not as much an issue but if you have a gaming mouse be prepared to dial down the USB polling rate to default.
Lastly you can't really buy games from third party meaning your at the mercy of onlive for pricing. Much like PSN and LIVE which is why I rarely buy stuff on there. Hard to get good sales. While onlive needs to be priced more competitively than the other two it still poses a big picture issue.
I could really only recommend onlive to someone who doesn't have a good computer or wants to expand their gaming library past consoles with little expense tacked on. But even there if they upgrade or buy better computers they can't necessarily transfer that upgrade into onlive. What do I think should be done? Turn onlive into steam and create a subscription service to play your games in a cloud when your not home. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I found the first mass effect to be less stressed, and more about exploration and story. I enjoyed the story quite a bit. I wouldnt say it were better or worst than ME2 as the storyline in ME2 was about as urgent as the final moments of Mass Effect 1.
Combat in ME2 was much better, and if they can retain some RPG elements while molding the action to be more natural(I feel having more control is more conducive to an RPG experience).
Original ME's combat was fine but felt a bit floaty in a negative way. ME2 allowed you to aim, while still not being an FPS in the sense of insta headshots or run and gun.
It is a fine balance thats hard to achieve but if it is achieved all the better. Flag this | Edit this post |

| They are doing it because even if you don't need the extras or 1 week early demos you have no choice but to pay them in order to play online.
Considering I don't get a more superior experience on the 360 in comparison to both my PS3 and PC I find it to just be bloody extortion to get the most out of my games. Flag this | Edit this post |

| The iPod Touch was awesome though, I really enjoyed it as a touch screen MP3/Video Player with WiFi web browsing for my college days.
It was the only one of its kind with viable browsing on a small screen, and a touch screen that actually worked.
I wish Droid was on T-Mobile, it looks awesome. I still have the first android G1. Flag this | Edit this post |

| might sound weird but to me Samus Aran is gender neutral until you get to 100% end where she strips the armor.
I say gender neutral because of the silent nature of the game. The characters gender is not really gone into until that last neck of the game.
The new Metroid Game is different, Samus is an actual character and not someone you find out exist in the last few minutes of the game. That in itself can put emphasis that it doesn't matter if its male or female, its just one bad arse person.
In games where you can choose there is just something about the female characters that usually attracts my taste. Especially the ones that are tom boyish in attitude. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | some of the best star craft maps and custom mode exploit the games mechanics ;) To make something new and unique. Would of never played the original star craft as long as I did if everything was pro serious. The quirky RPG, and survival maps, to the maps where you completely overpowered everything were all part of the fun. Flag this | Edit this post |

| They should allow players to host servers for onslaught(non-dedicated of course). I think most people have a decent enough connection to host 4 players. This exodus from true player server control is worrisome. What are they always so scared about?
I think squad rush would be more popular as well if they allowed some of these small player amounts to be player hosted or even P2P. But they are right most servers cost too much money to be used on a 4 player server. Flag this | Edit this post |

| The game doesn't look bad at all, actually hope its good and does well. Haven't had much survival horror lately. Most of it has been action with monsters. The scariest part of RE5 was the tank like aiming controls and movement.
Going to have to blame Microsoft on the whole porting issue though. Porting a game is not all peaches and cream. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Think it would be easier to make one huge monitor made of multiple panels. Would probably be much easier to make than a bezel-less screen and less chance of having small lines in between. Monitors that can be bought as a 3 panel screen, or a 6 panel screen.
It would all have to look like one entire monitor, but the resolution would be insane. With LED tech the chance of insane backlight bleed due to multiple CCFL's on non-LED LCD screens.
I assume the price would be out of range for most people though. More so than buying 3-6 monitors alone. The quality standards would have to be much more strict such that each panel is matched and tested to work.
They can't be those ugly TN/Film screens either. The angles on those suck amongst many other sucky things about their PQ. Their only worth is speed imo. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Translation: Don't install the firmware upgrade if you want to use the system for more, or pirate games.
That's basically whats going to happen. What they fail to realize, the potential pirating of PS3 games is out of reach for most people due to size of games alone. So the percentage of people who might pirate are going to be slim in comparison. That and banning them from PSN would be easy.
Wii piraters get around firmware upgrades all the time. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Sometimes this can be a good thing, I remember some older cards having pathways cut off but were easily re-attached with a little soldering making the card worth more than what they were selling it for.
So wait, is the GF400 series the fermi we been waiting for?? I thought the GF400 series was a gap between it and Fermi. If so I am not at all impressed given their claims. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Best thing to do is zip up and just let it roll in. It might take years before things settle down and people realize this is a good thing. It also might take years for the medical/pharmaceutical industries to become fully regulated. Expect the price of medical services to rise as greed to keep their mansions begins.
To be honest though I think in a perfect world insurance shouldn't even be needed. Where you REALLY can go to a doctor and bargain a fair price. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Hit detection did seem off at times. Shots that should be hitting were completely missing, w/ the red dot in close range. The problem was larger when they started running. I thought it was just lag then I saw this.
Serious issue when shots are missing, and also noticed the abundance of noob tubers.

| I think I flagged your post by mistake(did wierd stuff when I thought I hit reply) Anyway sorry about that.
I don't think the GTX400 series is going to be all that huge. It is basically rebranded GTX200 series with no major improvements. Most of us Nvidia diehards are waiting on the new tech that is slated to be out soon enough. It will cost, but if the performance is that much greater than what we can achieve on the current GPU cycle it'll be worth the wait.
While the ATI card can do DX11, mines has CUDA support and PhysX hardware functionality with no hacks. Though you can just as easily buy a cheap nvidia card to perform both actions so I won't brag too much. I feel the 5870(as is the current line of nvidia cards if they supported it) cannot truly take full advantage of DX11. I might be wrong, hopefully I will be proven wrong but just a hunch.(look at the 8800GTX/8800GT series of cards and how they perform in full DX10 games as they were the pioneers for DX10 capable hardware.)
BFBC2 doesn't look much different between DX9, DX10 and DX11 modes. Even HBAO doesn't make as big a difference as it does in some other games. On the flip comparing BC2 DX9 vs DX10 I actually feel I get better performance in DX10 mode. Odd as that sounds. Flag this | Edit this post |
