Thread for Gamers 2: The Three Is A Lie

[Spoder]

Titanfall will be out that early? Sweet!

Thing is though, experience can be.... less than optimal.

It's CoD reskinned with robots, and instead of having to aim at a Pentagon, the gun aims for you.

Does COD have double jump or parlour?

I rest my case.

I know how to fix the Smart Gun problem in Titanfall. Any time that I catch someone using it, I'll blast the chorus of Red Hands by Walk Off The Earthinto my microphone.

"That gun is loaded but it's not in my hands!"

I have a feeling I will be hearing that often.

[Mavorpen]

The beta is over.

Someone must have an opinion of the game then?

I don't know... It looks pretty, but from what little information I've, seen the previews are somewhat mixed.

It's somewhat better than I expected.

Then again, I expected it to be complete shit, so...

Well, it is a great song and video. So that's good.

This is a good piece about the obsession with brothels and strip clubs in gaming

Also, Tomb Raider is free on Playstation Plus next month. Hell yeah. My dad and I were hoping for that.

The quality of this article is laughable at best.

Yep. No mention of Dragon Age ;-; Also it's just drawing more unnecessary connections between my favorite hobby and real life.

[Meritocratic States]

Also. I hate auto correct.

While we are in the subject of mobile devices, can I interest you in some Dumb Ways To Die on your Android phone?

It's like Wario Ware, but the challenges are more lethal for characters of the game.

The robots almost make up for that "Ew EA" feeling.

Not enough games have parlour these days. Except maybe My Dinner With Andre.

Not really. Video games are one of my favorite hobbies, too. Doesn't mean I can't point out shitty flaws I find with the industry as a whole. The thing the article talks about has become overdone and is a valid complaint, and they made good points about the problems with it.

Sexism is something that I will complain about in video games no matter how much I love games.

Yes! PC gamers have made important progress towards a PS3 emulator!

Why do you PC gamers want a PS3 emulator in the first place?

Oh right, because we actually have exclusives that you guys want to play, despite the console hate/

Because I have a PS3 but it's such an effort to actually get it hooked up, even if "getting it hooked up" literally means just pressing a button on my HDMI toggle switch. Still a lot more work than just a couple mouse clicks to start a PC game.

Meh, GBA emulators are better.

The console starts up way faster than my PC, though. My PC takes like 5+ minutes to start.

But if that's considered a lot of effort, I'm amazed you had the patience to build your own PC.

I consider myself to be lazy but that just sounds really lazy to me if that is supposed to be "Such an effort"

That's your PC. I've timed mine. Just over five seconds from completely off to POST, about ten seconds after that I'm looking at my desktop, and five seconds after that it's completely done booting.


I'll time my PS3 in a bit. I doubt it can beat 5-to-POST/15-to-UI, though.

Well, you know, PS3s will eventually stop working due to hardware failure from factors such as corrosion and heat. So this is to ensure that people can still play games that they bought and own. I don't see any backwards compatibility on the PS4, do you? Shouldn't that necessitate the need for emulation? if anything, PC gamers regardless will be getting the last laugh as they will be playing your exclusives when you cannot 40 years from now. It's also self-defeating to argue exclusive games as a benefit of consoles. The games aren't exclusive because of a technological prerequisite that requires the capabilities of a console, but rather because of the demand of the host company to have a game to be exclusive as a desirable feature that sells, meaning that any console exclusive becomes little more than an advertisement.

Besides, I have no vested interest in playing PS3 games myself, I am just always excited to see any progress made in PC gaming.

[Mavorpen]

I take back what I said earlier. CallingSouth Park: The Stick of Truth fantastic is an understatement.

If I had to point at it it would be the cultural differences between countries that play the game.

Games produced in Ukraine are notable for portrayal of women that can be seen as sexist to us Westerners.

The recently released game Metro: Last Light by 4A Games and the female skins for the free FPS game Warfare by Crytek Kiev are some of the examples.

That's your PC.

I'm aware of that.

I've timed mine. Just over five seconds from completely off to POST, about ten seconds after that I'm looking at my desktop, and five seconds after that it's completely done booting.

Damn. I look forward to the day I have a PC that fast. Probably would be faster all around.

I'll time my PS3 in a bit. I doubt it can beat 5-to-POST/15-to-UI, though.

Knowing my PS3, I already know it doesn't. It starts pretty fast, but still. Not enough to be "A huge effort".

My PC takes 10 minutes to get to the desktop.

My PS3 tends to take about 5-7 seconds for the boot-up screen and then 3-5 seconds to get to UI (if you count the login as UI). But again, that's my PS3.

The PS3 in my house takes zero seconds to boot up, because I never turn it on.

To save time typing my rebuttle.

Then why have one if you never use it?

And console gamers are the "uneducated" buyers?

[Bezombia]

PS3:
13.0 seconds to POST
29.5 seconds to UI

Took even longer to actually sign in to PSN. Not to mention the whole "Press the PS button" and having to navigate a cluttered UI to do anything.

I counted UI as as soon as you see the actual XMB appear on screen.
