Gaming Thread (What game or games are you currently hung up on?)

  1. This coming console gen, the two main players have so much to lose.

    Sony's been in the red for a while now. For a time, they thought they'd be able to make a profit come next financial year, but they just recently revised their predictions by reducing estimated profit.

    The Xbox label isn't smooth sailing either. Microsoft's potential Ballmer-replacer Stephen Elop(the guy who I think ruined Nokia) is thinking of ditching the Xbox division due to its high operation costs, and apparently, there's enough shareholders and the general public who agree with him.

    I can't be too paranoid in thinking there are plenty of dirty games being played by the background, can I? Viral marketing isn't exactly new; we had marketers posing as anons posting on /v/ for a long time now. There is some chance that some, IF NOT MOST, of the bad rep surfacing about PS4 right now are greatly exaggerated or fabricated by MS goons.

    On the other hand, Sony can't be too stupid in thinking they can brush their hands completely. PS4 had a lot of preorders since the Xbox reveal, and with such a long list of buyers, whoever's in charge of the suppliers must have been pressured to deliver, who then delivers that pressure back to their suppliers, who in turn pressured whatever manpower they have to meet the demands. And I can tell you this; doesn't matter if one can get 3 times as much salary in a month for doing overtime. Once you reach day 14 of working a 12-hour shift with no offdays at all, you'll start to wonder what's the point. You barely have the time to manage yourself day-in day-out, and your body will beg for a long rest.

    I mean c'mon, Foxconn is a typical Chinaman business where profit is maximized at all costs, and if something breaks, they'll just pretend it never existed and find a new one. 'Supplier Code of Conduct' my ass. They can just put up a stage act every time an inspector comes in and resume their tyranny the next day. Sony of all people should know this well; they used to manufacture electronics themselves!

    But of course, I'm rambling. People will complain about PS4 for a while and forget about it next year, and the poor kids working for Foxconn will still continue being enslaved until they snap.

  2. I blame casuals.

  3. On making workers put in 14 days strait of 12 hour shifts that's probably significant contributing factor to that famous made in China quality.

    Such as why are parts missing or why is the screw cross threaded and is that vomit?

  4. Chapter 4 Working Hours, Rests, and Leaves

    Article 36 The State shall practise a working hour system wherein labourers shall work for no more than eight hours a day and no more than 44 hours a week on the average.

    Article 38 The employer shall guarantee that its labourers have at least one day off a week.

  5. In China workers rights regulations and human rights in general are more suggestions then anything else.

    I'm not going to argue it any more here move it to the politics thread.
    Though it's hardly an arguable subject.

  8. I'm not arguing at all.

  9. Laws are pointless when the workers' living is on the line. They'd be sure to lose their jobs if they take it to the court, so they have no choice but to continue overworking because at least the companies still pay. The laws don't. If they're not that desperate, they won't be working there in the first place.

  10. Finished all campaigns of Resident Evil 6 yesterday. Now I know why everyone hates this game so much. It is not a horror game, it is some cheap Call of Duty ripoff. So many pointless QTEs and tedious gunfights. It was so unbearable that I wanted just to finish the game quickly. The villains are far from memorable and they are not intimidating. I got to admit, though. While the story is a little messy, I did enjoy some of its key moments and endings. I almost cried when I watched Chris' ending, the Helena/Leon/Ada OT3 is quite touching, and Sherry and Jake should have just... well, you know. Overall, a visually impressive game that is actually below average underneath.

    Also, I just tried the PC version of Injustice: Gods Among Us a while ago. Unfortunately, the game is so unreasonably slow that I cannot start the campaign with this hindrance.

  13. HERETIC! The unholy union between Nintendo and Sony that was to be the "SNES-CD" never happened for a reason.

  14. I wonder what the playing field would look like if Sony never choose to go it alone or if Microsoft never got into consoles?

    Posted 2 years ago #
  15. Most likely Sony and Nintendo versus Sega and Microsoft, as both pairs worked together in some manner. And for those Sega fans, compare the Saturn and Dreamcast to the Xbox and Xbox 360. There are several parallels between them.

  16. Varies from GTA V to CoD Ghosts.
    I still need to finish Dragon's Dogma DA...

  17. So I was playing on the PS3, doing some CoD Extinction (Alien mode.) And I joined in a group of 3 other Dutch guys. - In good hope I plugged in a mic and said 'Hello'.
    But it was soon clear why the console community consists of a group of unschooled, home stuck idiots. Well the CoD community to say the least.

    30 minutes match (I lost connection to the host sadly) but all the names they called me. WOW. I've never heard the word cancer so much in such a short period of time. Not even when my granddad was sick with it. 'Cancer gay, faggot, idiot, dumbfuck.. you name it.' (I can't really translate some of the dutch names they called me.) I honestly didn't really know what to say other than tell them how low they are. But they only called me more names because I said a perfectly normal Dutch word, which seemed strange for them. Ohh fuck. Why do those people exist?
    Funny thing, they were from The Hague, and probably a bunch of hooligans. (In the Netherlands The Hague (the football club) is known to cause a lot of fights. One of the guys had 1975 at the end of his name. Assuming that's his day of birth makes things even more laughable. I mean 38 y/o and calling people names like that.

    I have honestly never been so energy at people in an online game.
    So low. Soooo incredible low.
