It looks cool. Is this the sort of game where you push the buttons in the right sequences and then proceed to the next area where you rinse and repeat? Or are the combos intricate with many nuances? I did play DMC4 and that it was okay but seemed repetitive. I like the Virtua Fighter games though..

Cutter wrote on Dec 14, 2012, 10:58: So putting billions of people out of work will be easily remedied by some education will it? And even if everyone was capable of post-secondary education - which most are not - what exactly would they be doing that would be viable and not automated? Who's going to pay for said education as well as the food, clothing and housing required while people retrain? Without a massive shift towards a more socialist society it'll result in all out revolution and warfare. Calm down.. It won't put billions of people out of work forever. They'll get new jobs as long as their inalienable rights are preserved. No, education doesn't necessarily solve the problem either. Frequently people over-educate and end up in debt to banks for far longer than needed. Human rights and liberties are the essentials we need to worry about.
And for your call for more socialism.. We've already had the massive shift towards a socialist society. Corporate socialism, that is. The ignorant fantasy of socialism is here. Oh it's so glorious and all of our problems are solved! Endless wars supporting a global empire, corporate bailouts, a bankrupt government, central bankers counterfitting trillions of dollars whenever they want, every industry lobbying congress for ever more 'favors', boom & bust economy, failed regulatory agencies, the list of socialist insanity here is endless. Oh socialism, you are my dream come true! /sarc

Goldman Sachs analyst estimated that building out Google Fiber nationally would cost somewhere around $140 billion, with just half of the country costing somewhere around $70 billion. . Does that include removing the most expensive areas from deployment? As that is worded, I'd say no. So if they cut 20% of the most expensive areas to build out, maybe that would save a big chunk of that cost estimate. And since, as the article says, fiber deployment costs continue to drop, in 10 years, Goldman Sachs' (*cough*) estimate would be way off the mark. And in any case, don't trust G. Sachs for anything worth a shit anyway.

I'm sure there are selfish reasons why they did this but the UN is far worse. On the face of it, this looks like good news to me.

John wrote on Dec 3, 2012, 13:14: When I was looking to get a new video card not long ago I was looking at all the requirements of the top FPS games and none required the best video card at that time. Although I don't recall them having a separate 'recommended' and 'hi-performance' category either.. Ahh.. Well IMO that's not the best way to go about getting a new vid card. Performance is highly dependent on your monitor's resolution, which publishers don't specify in their specs. Also they don't take into account your preference for the quality settings or frames you prefer. If it's important to you and you game on PC frequently enough, just buy the most you can afford.
Really, buying based on publisher specs is hit & miss (more miss). Their specs are suggestive. I never put too much weight in them. I'd rather them put a few charts out, depicting gpu vs cpu bound, performance scaling, resolutions, etc.. But that would probably be just too much information for what most people want to know. But there's no easy way around it, getting good game performance is not easy to understand on PC. It's been that way for a long time, too.
So in my opinion, specs like this information here is just a rough estimate of what to expect, and only to give a rough idea of how the game will perform. Too often, their specs are wrong. gl hf

John wrote on Dec 3, 2012, 10:38: Wow, a GTX680 and i7 CPU recommended for hi-performance. Why is that a 'wow'? Not trying to criticize Crytek/Crysis here.. Just saying that for a new FPS with lots of eye candy, isn't always a given that you'll need the 'latest and greatest' pc hardware? Otherwise there's little point in buying high-end equip..
I'm glad all requirements show DX11 though. I consider this a mistake on their part since I'm guessing that DX10 hardware will play it, but the DirectX 11 software needs to be installed. The low-end cards listed indeed are DX10 cards.

If implemented well, MP could be great fun though. But there's no evidence they'd give us a good MP experience. Stick to SP since you suck at MP. If you try hard and give us a proper MP experience with anti-cheat, dedicated servers, server browser, modding, coop MP, etc or keep it simple and just stick to SP.

raising kids to accept that their movements and activities are monitored at all times has no positive endgame. Everybody already has a cell phone. True, but big difference. Phones can still be anonymous, and friends can borrow them. You also also opt to -not- carry a phone any time you want. These 'ID' tags are the opposite. Their sole purpose is to track children, not make phone calls. It can be easily deduced that since it is an educational institution, that the children are being taught to submit to tracking. They are being taught to be as cattle and being denied their inalienable human rights is part of being a 'good citizen.' The opposite is true.
The school are only trying to justify funding by giving proof of attendance. Exactly. For the local schools, it's about money (greed). It usually is. The funds come from the state govt, and their motive is something else. That being, compliant cattle to exploit.

If all Google Fiber does is make cable companies start caring more about customer service, it will be a big win for the country. This. Also, why should we have to beg Google? Why can't we just end the duopoly and let an open market end our being raped by Comcast/Verizon/Time Warner? The duopoly is corporate socialism and the sanity of it needs to be questioned.
