You're probably getting this comment alot already, but "What? Another one?". With respect, we have two such perssonalities here on the Escapist and they also read cynical poetry now!
Personally, I get annoyed by the "fisheye" effect that I notice when the FoV is too high. For me and my plain ol' 4:3 monitor, 68 FoV is the sweet spot. Too bad most games will slap you on the hand for even thinking of going that low, though; if they let you control the FoV at all.endtherapture said:Yep, low FoV gives me motion sickness too, so I like having control over it.Crazy Zaul said:A while ago, after someone criticized his video and most people defended him, he was just commenting on twitter how nice escapist users are are then Susan called him a whiney git or something lol.
I like most of his stuff but his over the top criticism of Bioshock Infinite was wrong. He was being an FPS snob and complaining about recoil and stuff.
Also I sometimes want to shout "NO! FOV gives YOU motion sickness. Its a very rare condition that just you have and no one else cares about!"
But apparently there are quite a few people that have it.
we must have seen two different Darkness two videos because he said it was alright.....Judgement101 said:It's not that I'm telling him to not complain about his disease, it's that I'm sick of him giving a game a bad rep BECAUSE of his disease. He did this with The Darkness 2. He essentially said the game was unplayabled because of the FoV, but that was because of his disease, to someone without it the game was fine. I guess in general my issue is less with his disease/complaining and more with his lack of objectivity, which he claims to have. (Also, I'm 100% aware all reviews are subjective, but he claims to be somewhat objective, which is just untrue.)The Apple BOOM said:I personally suffer from the least motion sickness out of anyone I know. Boats don't get to me, reading in cars is fine for me, and I can stand all forms of 3D and FoV. However, just because I can stand them, doesn't mean others can. The FoV 'war' is something that has needed to be said for a while, and it is great that it finally has a big voice behind it. It is insulting to people to tell them to just get over their sickness. It's like telling people to get over depression or being color blind.Judgement101 said:TL;DR: He's an arrogant, glorified Let's Player who complains about irrelevant issues and denounces his fanbase at every turn then complains about their lack of viewer-ship later on.
Or maybe they should just not play games, this just isn't their area. Sure, that's completely reasonable. You lost a leg? Oh well, guess I'm not playing baseball with you. You just want to pitch? But bringing a chair to the pitcher's mound ruins the game. It just isn't for you.
And I call bullshit on you. If you're getting BSoD's, either you're doing something wrong, or the computer is broken. I've been PC gaming all my life and I've NEVER had a BSoD. Not even on my 7 year old single core PC that has been collecting dust for long periods of time.kiri2tsubasa said:Bullshit. I can afford a gaming PC and I can tell you they are not 'objectively better'. I have had far more frustration in the 6 months that I have had my gaming PC then in the years I have have been a console gamer. BSoD's, just sudden crashes, and freezes are a common occurrence for me in the world of PC gaming. So yeah, Console gaming has actually been superior in terms of stability.Substitute Troll said:I think you're wrong. He's said on numerous occasions that consoles are good for when you want to relax in your couch etc. But like I said before, no shit he prefers PC. Anyone who can afford a gaming PC agrees that they're objectively better. Consoles right now are only holding the gaming scene back, they need to evolve.
I'm out of this thread, there's no point in me defending TB, he can do that himself.
