FUCK COD BO2 SHITTY ASS GAME ON THE PC/PS3. FUCK TREYARCH. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER COD GAME BECAUSE OF THIS FUCKING COMPANY. GAME MADE NO SENSE. SHIT.
-
adding streaming support to encourage e-sports elements in a completely skill devoid, unbalanced and uncompetitive game (kids shouting racial slurs doesnt count as competitive nature). clever thinking treyarch. reinforce the illusion that aim-assist scope noob montages are a good thing and make youtube even more full of crap than it already is. idiots.
-
Leave game developing to those who have a passion for it.
-
good point.
-
The co-op in dead space 3 is very similar to demon souls. Demon souls co-op is EXTREMELY innovative.
-
So yeah, great companies like THQ and Square Enix are having loses while activision cashes in on their crappy titles for kids, and ofc EA try to copy them because hey...that's where the money is right?...fucking awesome oh btw did i hear right? Mass Effect 4 is in production? O.o...is it a continuation of the other games or just another game in the ME universe with the same name because that brings money?
-
Ah, forgot about PAE, true that. Really wish MS would stop it with the crippled "premium" versions. Don't they build the powerful ones and then cripple them to sell the weaker editions? Seems like a lot of extra effort. I suppose with their market share, they don't really need to improve their quality of service too much though... All in all, very frustrating >.<
-
right and wrong, PAE (physical address extension) allows for more than the 2^32 - 1 bytes of RAM on x86 machines, and windows utilizes that. But it then adds an artificial limitation back in, so people who run Windows servers (for whatever reason) buy the special server editions which don't have these limitations.
-
Right and wrong. PAE (Physical Address Extension) fixes that for 32bit systems, and Windows uses it, but added artificial limitations to the maximum amount of RAM. Microsoft has been known to do such things for quite a while, in order to sell more copies of their "special" editions like server editions. (which support more than 3 gigs of RAM on 32bit machines). Source: I wrote code in ring0 protected mode some time ago, which is basically where the OS kernel runs.

The memory cap isn't not about XP vs W7. It's about 32-bit vs 64-bit operating systems. With a 32-bit OS, your computer can index 2^32 bytes of memory. This winds up around 3 GB of memory. With a 64-bit OS, that cap gets bumped up to 2^64. This bumps your limit up considerably. It's somewhere around 16 exbibytes. That's about 16 million terabytes of RAM. Won't be hitting that limit any time soon. (Hopefully :P) Trust me, I'm a computer scientist.

Microsoft takes one step forward and then falls down a staircase.
-
Vista SP2 isnt that bad. It uses a bit more resources because it has EVERYTHING you dont need, but otherwise very stable. That said I will also upgrade to Win 7 64bit in my new tower. We can agree on one thing, fuck Win 8!
-
No. No LoL. Simple game. Bad community. Incompetent developers.
-
It has a limit. A very high one. en.wikipedia org/wiki/Windows_7#Physical_memory_limits

We will always be able to do better, does that mean we should just stop iterating, because reaching our full potential is most likely impossible? If you're talking about the consumer market, sure, what we have available isn't the best humanity can achieve and it isn't even the newest it has already achieved. Does it mean evolution should cease and you should be stuck with XP forever, for example? Absolutely not.
-
There is, but that doesn't fully apply in our society, because we have a pre-determined rate of advancement. The stuff that comes out, isn't even close to the best we can really make. Things with imperfections or problems intentionally, so the 'next generation' has something over the previous, making people want it. It's just a milking process we can do without, so that holds everything back regardless.
-
as of 2001 XP has a 64 bit version. Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about
-
The limitation is that XP used 32 bit and Win7 uses 32 or 64 bit. If you have a 32 bit Win7 you can still use <4Gb RAM
-
"It works" holds everything back. There's always a lot of room for improvement and innovation.

@TheFlamingSparrow can't be as bad as some of his crappier games in the ps2 era.
