    Don't Buy Scorpio If You Don't Have 4K, Says Microsoft Boss

    Funny, I don't see the PC space dominated by people complaining they can't run the latest games at max settings on their 3 or more year old hardware. Let's look at two recent games, The Division and DOOM. The Division's min specs are: Processor: Intel Core i5-2400 | AMD FX-6100, or...

    Don't Buy Scorpio If You Don't Have 4K, Says Microsoft Boss

    I dunno about that expensive. It's going to be using Polaris, which AMD is already touting is pretty inexpensive to manufacture (hence the $200 price tag, even with 4 GB GDDR5 on the board). It's still looking like it's a CPU/GPU hybrid architecture, or system on a chip, which means they're...

    TotalBiscuit says Microsoft won E3

    Microsoft published Quantum Break. As the publisher, Microsoft gets the choice of what storefronts to put the game on. That's a good deal different from your thought. You might as well be complaining that Sony didn't put Uncharted 4 up on Steam. Everyone knows that many developers, and...

    TotalBiscuit says Microsoft won E3

    The days of every PC version of a game being cheaper on the PC than the console version, day 1, are long gone. If the games come from most large publishers, and are out on both the PC and consoles at the same time, they are the same price on both. The only recent exception to this is Overwatch...

    TotalBiscuit says Microsoft won E3

    Or if you buy it on the Xbox store on your Xbox. I haven't bought a physical copy of a game this generation. So, to think Microsoft wouldn't have the buying go both ways is asinine. Now, if one doesn't care about playing the game on both the PC and the Xbox, then they have their options for...

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Leads 2015 Game Awards Nominees

    The console versions were published by Warner Bros. Games (at least in North America). By your own definition, that would disqualify them. Still, GOTY, for me, would be Witcher 3... there is so much to do, good character development, great art style and visuals, and a fantastic soundtrack.

    White Wolf Publishing Acquired by Paradox Interactive

    CCP initially planned a WoD MMO, but cancelled it a while back. I used to be friends with some WW staff, from my time moderating thier old JAVA chat game, New Bremen. Not even sure how many even still work there. I do agree that CCP mismanaged WW, though. They probably thought they'd make out...

    Twitch Bans Streaming of "Adults Only" Games - Update

    Your last hyperbole ridden point isn't exactly pertinent, because of pornograhpic laws in the US and other countries. Since The Escapist is not listed as an adult site, and does not require age verification, nor does it require the age versification of any models on its site (like porn sites...

    Twitch Bans Streaming of "Adults Only" Games - Update

    Hasn't stopped people from streaming The Witcher 3, including myself. There's nudity in that game in the first few minutes. There's also nudity in other parts that aren't the various sex scenes able to be initiated (one quest you come upon a succubus who is naked, with no warning she'll be naked...

    Feminist Frequency Removes Fan Art From Tropes Vs. Women Banner

    I dunno, maybe because if I felt something was a viable threat, I wouldn't want to show it to other people who might make a similar threat-- even if they're just being jackasses and trying to be funny? Or because if I felt something was a viable threat it would mean I was actually, you know...

    Feminist Frequency Removes Fan Art From Tropes Vs. Women Banner

    I can answer this a bit. She plays the victim in all of her speaking engagements and media interviews, where the big bad bullies on the Internet were out to get her. Where some dude made a beat Anita Sarkeesian up game that was somehow a threat against her (I'd have to find the interview, which...

    Feminist Frequency Removes Fan Art From Tropes Vs. Women Banner

    In the US, domestic violence is split 60/40 per DoJ statistics. 60% of the cases are against women, 40% against males. http://www.americanbar.org/groups/domestic_violence/resources/statistics.html However, the statistics do not break down things like same sex couples (male on male and female on...

    Feminist Frequency Removes Fan Art From Tropes Vs. Women Banner

    Thanks to the transcript, we can do all of this without me having to watch the video again... The actual story and characters of Dinosaur Planet revolved around Sabre and his adopted sister, Krystal. The initial outset of the story had them looking for Sabre's father, Random, who had adopted...

    Feminist Frequency Removes Fan Art From Tropes Vs. Women Banner

    There technically are no 'victims' here. It's not some Ponzi Scheme or anything like that. The people who did give money were not 'investors' in anything. They were donators according to Kickstarter. However, the issue of the money, what was done with it, etc. is an issue that no one has any...
