MAG dev calls Xbox Live 'more juvenile' than PSN

Jan 22nd 2010 1:01PM (Joystiq Playstation)
I don't know, a headset costs a mere what 10-20. I have a hard time believing that if these people were more vile and narcissistic they wouldn't go out and get one. Maybe the ability to control oneself prevents them from caring about what other people say and do.

Also according to polls the Xbox does house younger players where as the average PSN player is around 25. An age that the insurance companies around the world deem as more mature and harder to invoke road rage. If they did the research and figure this out, then I'm willing to take their word.

Is it just me or is Isaac looking feminine? He's getting some curves on him, in the strangest areas.

People are stupid, they only buy what they see and remember to buy. Remember the "Got Milk?" commercial. This is based on that fact. Sales can nearly triple or more with proper advertisement.

@Orchard Pear, Your attempting to do brand recognition with pre-sales advertising, doesn't work that way.

Interview: BioWare's Greg Zeschuk on Dragon Age, DLC, and more

I didn't say the content was required but if they made it withing the development time used to create the game, then cut the pieces out just to sell it. That's unethical and immoral business practice. Just cause you can get by without something doesn't mean it's ok to sell it seperate.

Black Isle went to Obsidian but Bio Ware is somehow created with Baldur's Gate II, in fact any review mentions this if you have been out of the caves long enough. Because although the members left Black Isle became BioWare, and received all credit.

Also you can tell Warden's Keep is actually an unfinished plot line that they decided to turn into DLC. If you've played it you know what I mean the Warden researching Blood Magic, returns to the tower saying something along the lines, "Return to me and check up on my research." Except you can never get inside the building ever again.

Instead of finishing the content they just turned it into a market place. All the content, especially Stone Warden is extremely short, the damn thing costs a huge chunk of what the actual game costs. The damn NPC is worthless and the content poor.

Honestly the game mechanics are nigh on the border of moronic and dumb. With stats ranging in arbitrary figures like 42. Why not max out at freaken 12 or something since there's not that many armors worth of note.

Why does armor only mitigate damage and no help deflect it? Shield? Only absorbs damage. Why does dexterity or whatever they call it in this game, the only thing that can prevent damage?

This game was so disappointing I ended up going back to play Baldur's Gate 2, NWN 2, and just recently started trying DDO Unlimited.

Hell I'm still waiting for them to fix the basic DLC that came with the game.

I also notice thread of these sorts missing or disappearing from Bioware's Forum. How can they expect us to buy new content when they haven't patched the old content? Hell they sold part of the game as DLC, things like Stone Prisoner and Warden's Keep. The games been more about how to nickle and dime than about quality.

I'll never buy another Bioware game who ever was in Black Isle is long gone or retired.

US Air Force to purchase 2200 more PS3s

Nov 24th 2009 3:50PM (Joystiq Playstation)
The PS3 CPU is capable of trillions of calculations the Xbox360 can only do billions. That's probably why. Not to mention the Xbox360 houses only the standard 256mb (haven't look at Xbox360 specs in a while, might be one step higher or lower) onboard L1, L2, L3 cpu memory where as the PS3 has over a gig of CPU memory processing speed 1256 or so, these are not to be confused with RAM.

PS3 CPU is literally 3x or more of the Xbox360 CPU, however it should be pointed out I think only 3SPU can be dedicated at a time however it can split the resources to accomplish more things up to 7 different things since one SPU (has 8) is dedicated to the PS3, where as the Xbox360 CPU is dedicated to single or dual tasks.

Undead Labs creating zombie MMO for consoles

NCsoft is working with Sony, just to let any Xbox360 fanboys know that out there. Supposedly I think three projects, never thought this would be one.
