Gaming BS of the week

'Tis the season for pointless top ten lists.

Maybe we need….a Top Ten of Top Ten lists?

But only if every entry is on its own page and you spend more time loading them than actually reading them.

You mean there are lists that don't do that?

Again Eurogamer:

Regardless of my mushrooms hatred, I just cannot wish misery for any addict - in this case stating that a scam is actually good is outrageous.

Eurogamer's fresh propaganda "outshines" every single bullshit from last year. Took them only four days.
Someone please ask some Ubi employee for a statement, I mean, at least we can laugh on those.

Wow!
I play Pwth of Exile and when you die in it, if you're high enough level, you can lose a couple of dqys worth of playing in XP. But it's still better than paying fo resurrection. If you buy enough of these resurrection tokens there's no risk in dying. It's kind of ironic that the game called Let it Die doesn't let you die if you pay enough.
And yet, someone thinks it is the next coming of Christ.
Just wow.

"We built PC games for all of Epic's history: Jazz Jackrabbit, Jill of the Jungle, Epic Pinball, and then Unreal," Sweeney explained. "But before Steam, PC game revenue started falling off a cliff, right around the time BitTorrent and Napster came out. Piracy became really easy and accessible with broadband Internet.

"Our competitors who were shipping games were almost going out of business, because for every copy they sold there would be like 10 pirated copies. As a result, PC was not growing as a viable platform for the scale of game that we wanted to build. We wanted to build games like Gears of War."

I'm like… Napster? Someone pirated games over Napster?

Anyway, Epic abandoned PC a decade ago and now are returning. Instead of being honest and say PC audience didn't want to buy their crap that doesn't even deserve to be called a game, they're now excusing their incompetence to make a good game on piracy.

Someone in comments mentioned another thing, this same Epic made (yet another) MOBA and it failed. Why it failed? Not because of goddamned piracy, I mean how would you pirate a pvp MMO? Paragon failed because PC audience are not idiots! Go sell your crap on phones.

IMO PC does not need this developer. This developer is insulting people who are supposed to buy their products. If we dare not to buy their piece of shit, we're pirates. Yea, right. It's like saying a bank went bankrupt not because of poor and risky loans but because of a bank robbery that never happened.

Sorry Joxer but PC really needs Epic. Not because of their games but because of UE4.

I've never felt insulted by a game developer, publisher, whatever. If I've ever been insulted (not sure if I have), it was frome a person, someone I knew.

Pibbur

I think I once saw you receive insults from one of the darklings in the P&R forum. I probably had something to say about it.

Hmmm.. You may be right, but if so, I only have vague memories of it, no details. But thanks for intervening. If you did.

Pibbur who no doubt has insulted himself on occasions.

PS. There was of course the guy who as a farewell message (banning wish?), posted really nasty things about several watchers. I don't rememver if I felt insulted, however. I couldn't take him seriously, so he didn't have much insulting power. DS.

A new one. From EA. Long time no see, right?

Point #1 - Bioware kills it's forum.
Point #2 - Bioware and everyone EA moves to twitter, we thought egotripping cause.
Point #3 - ME fans registered on Twitter thinking, hell why not, it's our #1 game.
Point #4 - Titanfall 2 was a debacle and is not selling.
Point #5:
https://www.reddit.com/r/titanfall/c…ne_aggressive/

Planescape:Torment is supposed to be a game and The Nameless One is not supposed to be us in real life!

Was Bethesda ever in this thread… Dunno. Let's change it.
http://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-4-hig…t-week-for-pc/

Next week, 58 GB of size highres update will be released for Fallout4.
Errr… FIFTY EIGHT?! Okay that's the size of whole GTA5, and although GTA5 is not just textures but some games are about textures only (bugs aside)…

As this FLAC format for graphics wasn't enough to troll the audience, requirements are:

Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
Intel Core i7-5820K or better
GTX 1080 8GB/AMD Radeon RX 490 8GB
8GB+ Ram

I just cannot believe it. Someone shoot me where I stand please.

Eh, I think it's cool they are offering stuff like that. 58gb on a decent connection isn't a big deal. Those requirements are pretty high, though.

Maybe you shouldn't have built a computer that should be played with mushrooms.

I've seen you write that all you care about is raw power.. Well, there you go. I'll try it out on my titan X and tell you how it is. You keep playing phone games on your cute little box.

On a serious note it's nice to see something made for the higher end PC's. Assuming it looks as good as it's requirements.

You mean I should have built mushrooms rubbish so I'd just say ah well I'll need to upgrade when AMD RX 490 actually appears. Sometime in summer perhaps?

Today not one but two.


1. Seagate Firecuda 2TB review: the ultimate PS4 storage upgrade?

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di…uda-2tb-review

The Seagate Firecuda is a 2.5-inch 'laptop-size' drive - a 2TB hybrid costing around £115/$130. What makes it stick out? Well for PlayStation users, it ticks a few crucial boxes if you're itching to upgrade the standard hard drive.

Playstation ultimate. 2TB HDD. Gimme a break.
In the real world of upgrades and not USB external storage I'm already planning what will happen next christmas (assuming their planned for 2018. 16TB HDD doesn't appear earlier):

2. Tax Authority Grilled VLC Player Over Link From a Torrent Site

https://torrentfreak.com/tax-authori…t-site-170130/
Long story short, some shady site recommended VLC. And some french government trolls immediately jumped on VLC.

VLC is IMO currently the best media player out there and it's origin is PC. Why are idiots pointing fingers constantly on PC. Of course people will recommend it when it's great. Shady sites or not, why does that even matter!

VLC is not nor will ever be rubbish XBMC player from bloody consoles that is actually being used for illegal streams under a different name (kodi).

Long time no see…

Today, it's Ubisoft. Surprised?
http://www.vg247.com/2017/03/03/for-…otransactions/

A game falsely advertised as RPG, didn't stop at that. It was promised not to contain microtransactions, but someone at Ubi decided that scam is necessary and now the game pulls your sleeve to buy, buy, buy the damned "iconic" useless rubbish that should have been an integral part of the game and not pathetic horsearmor DLC.

Haha.

The picture is sure getting smaller.
