I think you miss the point. it's not about expecting entertainment to entertain them, or people getting their pleasures differently from you. In the quote he likens it to people wanting to watch a movie. He uses the word "passive." He is not saying anything about "real gamers" The short...

I liked Rome II, however it was plagued with technical issues, I couldn't play any maps with water on them or it would have loads of microstuttering. On some maps (randomly) it would also just skip every couple of seconds. My saves would get corrupted, and the AI was just horrid (maybe due to...

while it was really just a thrown together teaser to announce the change in the character. (its purpose...not to show off the game.) Good on them for just moving the hell on and not destroying themselves for the lawsuit. They could easily make the game better without Duke.

White Knight or not, He maintains he has received no online vitriol for his article. Where woman have countless times just for being women. Which is kind of the problem he's addressing.

As explained somewhat earlier, a TAS run basically anything goes. However, the point is to push the game to its absolute limits by any means. Speed is one thing, but just warping to the credits isn't the aim. Exploiting everything the game allows you to is. Like in portal where you can just jump...

Watching just the first video, the game does look significantly different. The textures however, do not look significantly different. It's all just the lighting. The release footage has a pronounced ambient lighting to everything, which decreases the definition on all bump and normal maps and...

Course they're gonna hype the shit out of it. And maybe it'll stock your fridge later if you buy the DLC. Also speaking of jerseys, balls, and shirts. I think Shaq has plenty just laying about he'll give up. OT: ...If they keep it silly as all hell like the teaser, I would maybe buy this...

I liked it a lot, but it does fall flat near the end. I like how it was almost an improved FF5 with a new twist to the battle system. Really for the first game in the franchise I think it does well, it has a few weird ideas in it (and some dumb onces) but overall a really great game. The...

Alright, so since we've covered just about...everything recommended. Let's do something crazy. First, run the game in a window at 640x480, or 1024x768. Second, if that doesn't work, unplug every USB device from your computer. Give that a go and see what it does. FEAR had a terrible...

The game is optimized for 1024x768 or 1280x960 something. Any higher and it bottlenecks. The game also only uses one core, but it does ask for 3 GHz for that single core. So offset it to something other than core 0? other problems could be things in the background. It doesn't do it for FEAR...

Why does it feel like everything Notch says becomes a news post on this site? Great, he's a guy, and he has opinions, But we didn't need his input. What I'd like is more details on the actual OS.

It's not a cut corner, it says in the article. It gives the game more bandwidth to process data. More bandwith is faster transfer speeds, better loading times.

In Rome 2 ranged units have kinda gone in a direction that makes them...actually like how they were used. You thin out the enemy with ranged units (or break moral with fire) they don't cause mass destruction, but they kill enough to change the direction of a fight in a hurry. Much different...

I wouldn't say most, there are a fair amount that use quad core (there are even non-modern games that are capable of using 4 cores well) Most dual core games are console ports though. This however is the same problem with GTA4 and LA Noir on PC, which isn't just because it's dual core. It's...

I'll toss in my two cents, but only because I have a semi-unique technical issue it seems. First off the game is fantastic(relatively). I like most of the changes, and for a total war game the release here is definitely one of the better ones. I like the streamlines city management, and I...
