If they just limited this game to 720p on both systems, this would not be a problem. CPU in Xbone is like, come on GPU, I got more graphics for you to process. GPU says, I'm trying, give me a second here! PS4 GPU says, come on, feed me more data to process for that 1080p love! CPU says, I'm trying, give me a second to send you all that data. In a nutshell.

When I had my gaming PC for about two or three years, I had to turn the resolution down to 720p on Crysis 2, because when I cranked it all the way to 1080p, the frame rate suffered. I have a 4850 in my rig. Hermits can't totally say we don't have to worry about resolution if the card we have can't handle it with a particular game. The good part about that is we have the option to turn those settings down. Whereas on consoles, you are at the mercy of the developer. Obviously, even though that's true, they will still have to fix it somehow with enough console gamers complaining about it that they will have to patch it again to get the frame rate back up to acceptable levels.

Consoles are still not a bad deal IMHO since when you compare a system like Xbone or PS4 to its previous gen. version, it is still more advanced. For example, I saw a video comparing Battlefield 4 on Xbone to 360, and a building blew up. The fire in the Xbone version looked like real fire, but the 360 version's fire looked like a puff of red smoke. It just did not look good like the Xbone version.

People should cut these systems some slack. You don't here about over heating problems in Xbone like was plagued in the 360 and original Xbox. That's a big deal to me IMHO. Also, FF VII on PS4 first. "Nuff said.

So many nerves hit. I'm like Batman today.

Except the two people who responded don't fall in the category you described, so 0 nerves hit

Just wondering how you know what those posters look like? and why does it matter?

And how the anime applies to me! Add that in there, lost!

You don't have to use an anime sig/avatar to be a jrpg weaboo.

Don't be so upset you skinnies.

But we're not

so once again, what does a persons physique have to do with this thread?

Please lostrib, stop feeding the troll.

In other news, I like them both personally. FF for the epic stories and music, ES for its openness. I simply can't choose either/or.

:'( Reminds me of what I did right after I found out Leonard Nemoy died. I watched Star Trek II, and cried at the ending. The funeral scene near the end just felt so fitting, and this beautiful picture just makes me feel the same way. Teh feels:'( My heart goes out to his family and Nintendo. (Cue Aerith's Theme.)

RIP Mr Iwata, I cannot believe this, first "celebrity" death that has hit me. I believed the top order at Nintendo needed a shake up, but not like this. :(

I feel the same way. The last thing I said online about him before I learned he passed away is that he needs to go. I meant as CEO of Nintendo, not all of life:( He still would have brought a lot to the table of Nintendo even if he was not CEO. I'll miss him. He had a lot of passion for the company he ran. I wish he were still here:(

Considering that the vast majority of console gamers misinterpreted the question terribly and then proceeded to vote piracy.

It appears that buying used games is the greater of the two evils.

I know. That's also a possibly good scenario, that trade in cash will go towards a new game.

Though, the idea is to exclude the initial purchase.

How is buying a used game any better than piracy from the perspective of game devs?

Because at one point that game had been purchased by somebody else.

It's official: used games are worse.

WTF??? Don't you people realize that the developers and publishers already get their money once the games go to the retailers to be sold to people in the first place? Without the initial sale of all of those copies of new games, there would be no used game market. If a game sells a 1000 units, there will only be 1000 units to resale to people. If Gamestop wants to make money on used games, they have to insure developers and publishers that they can get as many copies of a new game out as possible.

With Piracy, one person buys a game and then puts it up on Pirate Bay. Instantly thousands of people able to download and play, and only one actual sale of the game.

I think we can all see now which one is worse.

Edit: I can take this even further and say that devs can sell their games to Gamestop, but no one buys them because everybody knows the game sucks. POOF!!! There goes your used games market. On PC, one person buys the game, and thousands of people download it from Pirate Bay just out of spite!

1000 people that aren't going to spend money, aren't lost sales though. 1000 copies that are circulating through many hands can will cause long term sales of new games to drop.

Books have wear and tear, and eventually need replacing.

Music/movies have different revenue streams.

Games have extremely long development cycles, no wear and tear, and directly compete with the used games over the long term, and generally costs more out of the gate for consumers than movies/books/music for entertainment.

Used market to gaming is just a different beast.This is why day 1 dlc, micro transactions, and really homogenized AAA gaming. Games can easily take 3 years to developer and developers have come out and said that the vast majority of earnings are within the first few months of a games release on consoles. If they don't make the money for next game in the first 3 months they likely will go under during their next product. Top teir development studios cost a lot to run and potentially why the used market hurts more in the long term.

Piracy doesn't hurt as much as it sounds I believe. If 1000 people download a copy of a game they didn't think was worth paying for... they probably aren't going to pay for it.

Hmm, you are really trying to sugar coat the issue of piracy, aren't you, while making used games look like an invention of the devil himself. While I get that developers and publishers like dlc to help cover the lost sales from used games, how do you think it makes a developer feel when he or she sees their game up on pirate bay knowing full good and well that they will never see a cent from that money not even in dlc since the copy downloaded is ILLEGAL? It's more likely that the reason for all the dlc and micro transactions is that console development is getting more and more expensive. I would rather them just raise the price of the games then have dlc that could have been included on the disk.

I just don't understand the excuses some people use to defend piracy.

@playharderfool: I can see why you don't care for the grammar rule.

Also, saying "We haven't been flooded by low level troll accounts" is proof that the 500 post rule had a positive effect. Why would you mess with something that worked? I give it a couple of months before the rule is back.

I agree with this. Just because a person can't post a topic doesn't mean a person can't comment on a topic that has already been created. I like the 500 post rule a lot better since it does help keep alts out. Now you'll have to worry about if a person is agreeing with his or herself from multiple alts, IMHO.

Only Angry Birds, it was free. Like Tetris and Snake years back when cell phones had one color. And maybe some Words With Friends on and off, but that's it.

That's also when I didn't have other portable gaming devices like my PSP and DS. I take my 3DS with me so I'm only game on that when I'm out and about. But if I use my cellphone as a distraction I'm mostly reading the news on it.

Most times when I see people gaming on their cellphones the kids or family don't have proper gaming devices in the first place, or they do but they're out of the house and the kids are jonesing for their gaming fix and they're playing something like MineCraft on their parents iPhone or something, or sometimes someone just has to see what all the fuss about 'such n such' is about.

I'm an Angry Birds addict myself. Gotta get my angry fix when I'm out and about.
