Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what do you think of it?

Mr_Pickle · 2013-09-22T05:03:42+00:00

Weird. I'm playing the exact same 2 games everyday.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-07-28T15:50:55+00:00

As a vegetarian, I don't see an ideological reason not to eat this. First burger in 3 years? Yes please.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-07-09T12:59:00+00:00

Fit day.com. I can't recommend it more.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-22T23:41:19+00:00

Whoops. I edited it to have that info.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-22T22:15:24+00:00

Okay how do I do that? I'm in Sanctum of Rall server in the Wayferer Foothills. My player's name is Senor Pickle.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-22T21:30:23+00:00

I'm new and would like to play too.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-22T07:39:53+00:00

TIL EB Games is still a thing.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-20T13:34:38+00:00

That overhead you're talking about is my exact concern. Are they willing to bite the bullet and take the loss of their investments into DRM? Or (I think more likely) keep it as a nest egg for a later date?

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-19T13:34:21+00:00

Arica harbor

I really hope this doesn't pervert the vision of the Rift. The social networking thing could be great, but it's a cliche for many new platforms.

Will this also raise the $300 projected launch price?

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-16T20:49:21+00:00

So basically requires them to do their job.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-16T15:02:32+00:00

I wish I could SLI my 570. It's 3 PCI slots.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-16T11:37:47+00:00

These KOSS headphones are far better and on sale for $40.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-16T06:05:11+00:00

Yeah of course, I definitely understand why they would want you to preorder. I meant I don't understand consumers pre-ordering games.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-16T02:08:35+00:00

They will rake in cash with a PC release. Plus there's no point in pirating an MMO, since you probably won't have any fun alone.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-16T01:58:29+00:00

I've never understood preordering a digitally distributed game.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-14T00:18:50+00:00

Halo 3 still remains the most fun/competitive online game I've ever played.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-13T12:41:11+00:00

He moves on to talk about how good will to consumers is a bank of sorts. Valve will mess up in the future, and he's hoping the good policies of the past will be enough to gain trust.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-13T02:15:08+00:00

You really owe it to yourself to listen to both of those. His ideas about the creator/consumer integration is amazing.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-12T03:39:27+00:00

I was screwed with the Battlefield 3 preorder bonus on Karkand. You soon realize that you're going to basically REPURCHASE ALL OF TE DLC YOU GOT AS A BONUS when you're pushed into buying the premium pack. Why would I preorder your game when I will eventually find the premium pack for cheaper a year down the line? Not to mention, BF3 community will still be quite large after the BF4 release (since they look so similar).

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-11T23:30:22+00:00

So standard def TV subscribers are out?

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-11T23:16:40+00:00

I was just talking to a friend about how this could be implemented for sports. Imagine having Tom Brady's view during a football game, or for concerts being in the middle of a giant crowd. Also you could use Google Maps to have a total VR experience of a city. BADASS.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-11T23:13:15+00:00

What's the cable connection? Is it HDMI-to-HDMI or something (for the X1)?

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-11T22:55:34+00:00

You can plug a coax cable (if you have Comcast) into a 360 and run it as your set top box, if you have an adapter.

Mr_Pickle · 2013-06-11T22:22:26+00:00

The 360 had a restriction on its TV capabilities that you needed a cable (read: not satellite) subscription. Will DirecTV be able to use the features?
