  1. Being a vampire isn't worth it in Oblivion or Skyrim if you ask me. It's to much hassle.
  2. No, the OP doesn't mean "Frames Per Second", he means "First Person Shooter".
  3. Never heard of it but I'm not surprised, there was a lot of licensed games in the 70's and 80's. The game sounds pretty similar to Maneater that came out last year.
  4. Why does it seem like every other thread turns into a discussion about FIFA. I mean @Justin11 you can't be seriously telling us you think any of the games listed there are "a game you have played that you would bet no one else here has?". I'm starting to think a bunch of EA employees joined the form to get the new FIFA some traction. Can we get on topic?
  5. Assassin's Creed is published by Ubisoft.
  6. I thought the DS4 worked natively through USB or Bluetooth, in fact I'm certain I've done it before...
  7. The reason why you should post links to your sources is because we need to see them for ourselves. When we can do that we can see the whole thing in context and come to our own conclusion about how credible it is. In this case it might only part of what they said, or it might be hear say. I'm not saying it's any of those but it you posted a link to the entire interview then I'd KNOW it wasn't. Look at my earlier post, I included links to articles, videos and images to support my points. So when I said that Hideo Kojima made a statement in response to the pushback that they got with Quiet's character design you don't need to take my word for it. I actually give the link to an article containing his statements. When I state what their "reasoning" as to why Quiet's outfit was the way it is I didn't just quote or paraphrase. I actually show you the moment in game when Ocelot explains it. You see what I mean?
  8. I generally don't mind either way long as the character designs fit in with the overall asthetic and tone of the game. In something like a fantasy RPG I don't mind seeing idolised character designs in unrealistic scanty armours or whatever but I would take issue with it in something like Chivalry which is supposed to be more realistic. There is a specific franchise I'm going to call out. Before I do I just want to state for the record that I am a huge fan of this franchise and have boundless respect for it's creator (the publisher can go to hell though). I think the worst offender when it comes shamelessly objectified characters in a setting where it's unnecessary or even immersion breaking is the Metal Gear Solid franchise. As sure as the sun rises in the east your guaranteed there's going to be at least one needlessly sexulised vixen in a Metal Gear Solid. Sniper Wolf, Naomi, Eva, The Haven Troopers, The Beauty and the Beast Unit, the "Konami Eyes" model who's poster is planted all over the place in MGS2 and even the men aren't immune with characters like Vamp. In the majority of these I can look past it enough to still enjoy it. There is one however that took the absolute piss, so much that's I'm quite surprised nobody has mentioned her in these other treads, and that is Quiet from MGS V: Do I really need to say anything? This was done for cosplay and merchandising. It's such a plain example of senseless and shameless objectification. Of course there are some that claim otherwise. Kojima himself insisted that there was an explanation for it, but every explanation/justification that's been given holds water about as well as the holy tights she's wearing. I probably should call spoiler here but honestly the actual explanation as to why this sniper foregoes any sort of camouflage or protection in favour of two pieces of string is so ridiculous that it doesn't matter. If you don't already know get ready to laugh your ass off! To summarize, her lungs were burned in an earlier scene so her body mutated. She now breaths through her skin so wearing anything beyond a micro-bikini would cause her to suffocate and die... WHERE DO WE EVEN BEGIN ON THIS MOUNTAIN OF NOT MAKING SENSE! First of all the problem could easily be solved by wearing any breathable fabric like cotton. In fact she could wear just about anything that's not a full leather or latex gimp suit and she'd be fine. Secondly normal people can breathe normally through our nostrils, which a surface area of maybe a couple of square millimetres yet she needs 99% of her skin exposed to air to intake the same amount of oxygen?.... Bullshit! Thirdly and definitely the most ridiculous aspect to this, just take a look at some of the unlockable outfits: Uses skin to breathe yet can walk around with her skin covered in tactical gear, covered in blood or even covered in PAINT! Did Kojima never see Goldfinger, that would kill a normal person let alone somone uses their skin to breathe! Sorry to rant there but this one really grates me, both for the shameless design of the character and even more so the ludicrous excuse. The reason why it does is because I actually like Quiet. She's fascinating not mention very useful in game. She was easily the buddy I would use the most often, her covering me from a distance while I solo infiltrated suited my play style perfectly. It takes a long time unlock the tactical outfit (below), which I think look WAY more badass. However, not only does it not garner any advantages, it's costs you resources for her to deploy with it equipped. So the game actually punishes you for not being a perv!
  9. Your coming from a similar position to me to then. My uncle lived for music, he was a good guitarist and an even better drummer in his day. He even wrote a song celebrating me and my two brothers birthday (we're triplets). Sadly he couldn't really play in his later years due to complications with his health. I'm definitely making progress with Rocksmith as well as some other tutorials and tabs I've looked up on YouTube and online.
  10. You'd be very disappointed. Yeah there are a Penguins, a few birds and marine mammals around the coast but the majority of the continent has got the square root of bugger all in it. Africa has a more diverse climate, more food, more wildlife... Essentially trump's Antarctica in every way except one. There's hardly any people in Antarctica and as we all know, people suck.
  11. Not on purpose... But sometimes the shit on TV is boring or I'm tired.
  12. Guitar and Bass cost about the same in my experience (I think was bass was cheaper in fact, but I did buy it years ago). I'd also say that Bass is a little easier since you don't generally have to learn any chords. Like you said though, the key thing is practice, I'm taking a walk and I brought my guitar with me! 😄
  13. Whichever you decide to get I can definitely recommend Rocksmith, it's got great video tutorials and exercises for beginners for Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar and Bass. One thing worth keeping in mind though and the game touches on this on the tutorial is that if you use HDMI for your audio output it will lag because of HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so use optical out instead. Which instrument you should get really depends mostly on what you wanna play. Most of the time the Bass plays kind of supporting role while the guitar is out front but Bass often plays a more leading role in Jazz and Blues.
  14. I had a similar issue with an image recently, the embedded image wouldn't go away even after I removed it from the post in the text editor. It might not be the exact same problem but I had to remove the image from text editor and from the uploaded image bit underneath in order to make it go away. @Head_Hunter might still be able to this on his end if you could alow him to edit his post.
  15. There is alternative, just don't buy the new games. Buy pre-owned and stick to the old ones and don't buy any of the in game purchases. It will save you some money, It's cuts EA out of loop and you don't loose out since the game's are the same year to year anyway.
  16. The one on the right is a 4 strong bass, on the left is a 6 string electric guitar. As the name suggests the bass has a deeper sound and plays notes on the bass clef, the guitar is on the "normal" treble clef. Each one has their own amp.
  17. Well a lot of it is pretty much the same. The Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace and most of the streets are still there and as they were.
  18. OK, this is getting beyond a joke! Not out. It's Battlefield and which one? Doesn't exist, unless your talking about MotoGP based on the motorcycle championship of the same name. It's Need for Speed and again, which is one? Last year. Not out. 2013. I'm convinced, these are a bunch of EA employees and/or people who don't have a clue!
  19. Assassin's Creed Syndicate has a great recreation of 19ᵗʰ century central London.
  20. TLOU isn't really open world, it's a linear level to level structure. Some of these levels are semi open for a bit of exploration but you still move from one area to the next in a liner fashion. When you think open world it's games like Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto, Skyrim, Oblivion, Borderlands, Fallout Horizon Zero Dawn, ect. I've talked on this before about what devs can do to make them better and that's making them more dense and interesting rather than making them massive with huge voids of empty space. That is something that is happening more and more often and it really grinds my gears.
  21. What? Of those 4 titles Horizon Forbidden (West) and Far Cry 6 aren't out yet, FIFA 21 was last year and Deathloop was released less than a fortnight ago. Most people working a normal working schedule would have to spend 2-3 hours most days from release to have completed Deathloop by now. That's certainly possible but I don't think I've seen you talk about it once in between all the posts after post about FIFA, so I find it unlikely that's what you've been doing. I'm gonna be frank, I think you've just exposed your ignorance here. I think the only up and coming game you really care about is FIFA 22 and if it is that's fine, you do you. What you just did here was haphazardly list some other games that people were talking about to legitimise your point. If I am wrong and have played Deathloop I apologize but I'm definitely not wrong about the others. You don't need to try and justify yourself. I know I and many others here give FIFA a hard time but it's nothing against you. I want yours and the millions of other FIFA experience to be better without the predatory monetisation.
  22. I'd never actually heard of God Hand before but I did a little Googling and found out it was published by Capcom and developed by Clover Studio, who would later merge with another company to form Platinum games. They would later go to develop many noteworthy titles in the action genre like The Bayonetta series, Nier: Automata and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. So these guys certainly have pedigree.
  23. Modern games a very complicated software with a bunch of different systems running simultaneously in the foreground and the background. Even with thorough testing and QA the odds of zero bugs getting through the net are nill, so gamer's have to have some degree of tolerance. I only really complain about bugs and glitches that are truly game breaking.
  24. A little update, I've since swapped the electro-acoustic for a full electric that belonged to my uncle as well. I also got a guitar amp from the same guy I got the bass amp and it's a really good Marshall model. For learning I've ordered a copy of Rocksmith (PS4) and there a song that played at my uncle's funeral service I've decided to learn first, Days by The Kinks.
  25. To EA's very little credit they do seem to allow their third party partners and even in house studios to run a little more independently than most other publishers. I think this is why they have managed to avoid some of those potholes. Even this can be problematic at times. In the fairly recent case of Anthem they didn't stick their noses in enough while Bioware's management was putting duct tape over all the problems. That's not to say that EA don't share in the responsibility, or that some of their decisions and demands for the game weren't ultimately detrimental to end product and employees. However, according to reports from people that were there, most of the blame was on Bioware's management. I have and will certainly continue to take my pounds of flesh out of EA and others for their crap, but doesn't mean their 100% to blame 100% of the time. As much as it saddens me to say it In the case of these sports games I think (some) gamers are to blame as well. By spending money on these nearly identical games and their in game currencies year after year their vindicating them. The only way that's going to happen is if you vote with your wallet. If you stop buying them then, and only then will they be pushed to make significant changes. There's no way FIFA, the NFL, the NHL, the PGA, the UFC and everyone else they've got these years long exclusive partnerships with are going to do anything about it. As long as EA keeps paying they don't give a fuck no matter how much it hurts thier brand's reputation.
