Previewing a Crysis on Infinite Universes - Office Chat

In this casual conversation from Destructoid's news room, Jim Sterling, Jordan Devore and Conrad Zimmerman somehow manage to wind up talking about the controversy surrounding game previews despite not having planned nor wanted to. The gang also remarks on leaps in graphical fidelity with the arrival of Crysis 3 and the universe plays a practical joke on Conrad by way of DC Universe Online.

You're right. When I specifically declare that I would not like to have a service automatically renewed, it's my fault when the company providing that service renews it anyway. My bad.

Regardless, as stated, Sony is sorting it out for me and their customer service people have been great. I just feel there's more to be gained by paying closer attention to your customers.

You play too much COD then. I'd rather it takes more shots to kill someone than instantly dying before I can raise my fucking gun.

More shots promotes skill over simply dying to lag.

Fuck the titan. ROG ares 2 is water cooled at the factory and 1500. 3 of them are a BEAST. I have one and it blows away my 6990 by 60 percent and is 45 C cooler.

There is no issue with what you're asking of me. If you have a gaming PC, by all means, buy your games on a gaming PC.

My concern was how they talked about the difference between a high end gaming PC and the 360.

While there is a clear difference, it's not drastic at all. It's just better, maybe you can even say way better. But regardless, it's not at all enough to warrant trashing consoles, or as you did abandon them altogether. The same games look and run perfectly fine on consoles.

video games would not be even close to where it is today if not for console remember that

I had a similar problem but it was self-inflicted. I had such high hopes for SWTOR that I couldn't let go of the game, but none of my friends were playing it any more so I also wasn't really logging on. I paid for the game for the better part of a year without playing. Now if I want to play the free to play I get treated like a second class player by the game's restrictions and all those months I paid for give me an amount of currency that can buy barely any of the features that I'm denied.
