  1. Honestly? The whole thing. There were so many mistakes upfront that I think it handicapped itself so badly that it'll never beat the PS4. I just want Scorpio to be a success to bring Xbox back on par (or on top) so I don't miss out on any game experiences. Specifically, what should have been different: They shouldn't have been so timid on specs and played it safe. Sony gambled on DDR5 and won. It was insane to launch a console that was 25% more expensive and 10% slower, who thought that was a good idea? All the wasted software effort on the scrapped DRM thing. I can't believe they thought it was a good idea and it god tossed. If they hadn't done that they could have spent that dev effort in 2 places: better online integration with Xbox Live 360 APIs. It was insane that you couldn't see friends or message cross platform to 360. If they had made it more integrated it would have been an easier transition. Instead they basically sent the message "If you are coming from a 360, go ahead and switch to PS4, we won't let you talk to your friends anyways" backwards compatibility. If they had this feature announced at launch instead of always-on DRM it would have been game over. Kinect. They should have seen the writing on the wall with the Wii and realized motion controllers weren't happening. Saved millions on making the kinect and just stick a microphone in the box and be done with it.
  2. This is the best news! I was scared they were going to turn the S series into the note! I'm glad Samsung has kept this relationship with its note consumers! That's fine with me! I currently have the Redmi thought 😛 but I think I'll stick with it still as it's just better for the price range.

    Twisty Towers

    i've had my eye on this game for a while, but it's never on sale and, between the exchange rate and taxation, it's not worth the cost. also, I wouldn't have anyone to play it with. This game was so overlooked and underrated, hope this helps it get some of the recognition it deserves!
  4. Simon Tatham’s puzzles, 39 randomly generated puzzles like minesweeper, mastermind and many others lesser known but excellent nonetheless. It’s free, open source, offline, no advertisement, no dubious permissions, clean simple design perfectly optimized and no bullshit whatsoever. Perfect to pass the time without being fucked by people stealing your data or milking you like a whale.
  5. Well, the darkness of how the outside is would. Only time that I get to be awake far ealy is when it's very sunny and the sun is shinning into the window
  6. Not everyone is good at the same game, I can play games that I'm good at then other times bad at...
  7. Man.... I remember not long ago Sony fanboys was always laughing at Microsoft fans when they complained about exclusive games and such. This is insane if its real
  8. When something similar was pitched by a fan years ago, the intention was to give each game more development time by holding over players with extra content during the year or two a game doesn't release. It's not necessarily a bad idea, but I'm sure Ubisoft will find a way to fuck it up, Assassin’s Creed: Infinity. Immediately limited by being a Live Service platform. The irony is quite thick.
  9. My favorite thing to say nowadays is "If there is oppression, there is resistance that will match it." The more we see this stuff happen, the more opportunities we have to give the corporate commander the fate he deserves. Provided the resistance succeeds. Creative freedom will never die. Good on this man doing what he's doing. I'll have some skepticism on the side as we need to see the actions proving the words, but I hold out faith for him. This reminds me of Leslie Benzies and what he aims to do.
  10. The Review, simple and straight to the point! You can feel the Love for the tech, no annoying irritating bootlicking to the developers, this review is for the people and interested customers. But do anyone know anything about ongoing software support from ASUS? I read on XDA that they are not known to be good in this area. ANd also just crazy hardware specs just for a phone and not using it for calls 😛
  11. The visuals are amazing and I thought it was new medieval game then I thought it was something to do with league of legends like a new character or something but I got got tricked twice by a card game.
  12. Candy Crush isn't my game, it's does not interst me in one little bit, I know people that has had and played so many hours to get level like 3040 on there phonee's that they have at the time. CRAZY
  13. I couldn't get into it. I liked the idea but when most of the challenge comes from fighting the controls, which seemed to do what I wanted only about half the time, I found it more frustrating than fun. I had the same issue with Surgeon Simulator. It's great when you're just mucking about and laughing at it. But when you decide you actually want to do it properly and make progress it suddenly stops being fun.
  14. Then why gave them to your siblings LOL who's idea to do that, unless one way to get rid of them.
  15. Has happened to me while gaming and I get stuck in a loop that goes round forever. After a while I give up and take a break for a while then after many hours or days when I get back into the mood again, I pass with flying colours.
  16. I say we wish that all games has had better graphics and also those that does and amazing has better performance then being lagging on a gaming high rig.
  17. Exploits by their very definition are aimed towards a weakness, almost always unethical or immoral. Gaming exploits (cheating) are players taking advantage of a glitch in a programmer's coding that leads to a result the developer never intended. Then again exploiting is pretty much discovering a way to do something in the game mechanics that wasn't implemented intentionally, like a bug. On the other hand, cheating is bypassing game mechanics to create disadvantage/unfair gameplay. BUt even so, looking at way to break and cheat is like wasting money on a game story and not even doing the story right.
  18. Really, Why that list. Sad that my first thought, the Wandering Trader from Minecraft, didn't make the list. All their trades are garbage and all they're good for is 2 leads after you kill him and his llamas. Seems that the video/review is done by this users thoughts.
  19. There's a part in last of us where Joel falls in to the basement of this old hotel and you're trapped with this monster in the dark. I nearly shat my pants playing through that. I had to take breaks to get my heart rate down.
  20. I have a feeling that if the rumors of NX games being both console and handheld playable are true then we'll see a return to cartridges. Discs don't really work in a handheld environment and the cost can't be that much higher than discs considering that new Wii U games (on disc) are $60 while new 3DS games (on cartridge) are $40. They even make a profit selling cartridges for $20 with the Selects line. Perhaps most importantly, you can save data directly to cartridges, so you can pop that game out of your console and into your handheld and immediately go back to the same save.

    Boomerang X

    Interesting to hear that the game can last around 8 hours. Many other reviews are saying 2 or 3 which made me hesitant. It usually takes longer to finish games than average and I'd most likely play through New Game Plus too, So probably worth it after all.
  22. This is the definition of something only an indie would do that a major dev team would not, even if there is nothing really stopping them from doing so. I mean there is definitely very specific boss battles in certain games where the boss is singing to you while you fight it. But not a full game.
  23. I rather go with the first then secound, Hell, I have a old WIndows 10 phone laying around in my home, not one but two in that matter 😞 and they are crap and not supported and can't even get working apps on the os.
  24. Seen good and bad tutorials, But hardest part for most is having that more understandable tutorial, can be as simple and easy but you might not understand some things that you would not even know or heard about.
