Low and behold, I've been sent yet another X1 beta code. This time though, I'm looking for some entertainment. So, send me your best tech related jokes and I'll give whoever makes me laugh the hardest during my Sunday hangover pain will be crowned the winner! GO, BE FUNNY!!!

 

Edit: Quote this comment when replying so I don't have to look through the whole thread, I'm lazy like that! 

Well I played my first game on the X1, I thought the graphics looked and played great, better than how BF4 looks which I still thinks looks good, as for titanfall I am crap at it but will be buying it for sure and so glad I bought an X1 now the filter has been removed improving the visuals a lot.

I got a chance to check it out a few hours ago thanks to thechronic hooking me up with a code, still never received one for signing up, and I am glad I did get to briefly check it out, as I think I will be skipping it. Just not my cup of tea at the end of the day. Just seems all over the place and a tad too chaotic. Ironically I really loved the movement of things during the tutorial, but once I checked the game out, did not think it really translated to the actual matches well. Just turned into your typical MP FPS. I barely saw any people wall running in the game, and whenever I tried to do so, it really did nothing to actually enhance things as it could and should. Maybe it was just the matches I played, and others are playing the game using the new features that supposedly separate it from other FPS's, but based on what I have seen, do not think I will be taking that $60 plunge to find out. 

 

I made the extra effort to play it like the tutorial teaches you and it really doesn't add anything to it. This game has been hyped out to be something it's not. It really is just another run and gun, but it just so happens to have mechs and some parkour thrown in. It's definitely a competent shooter in it's own right, it doesn't come across "messy" or anything. It's just....meh :/ Definitely not worth the 5 years of development anyway. How they couldn't even come up with an SP in that time to really showcase the game is a little bewildering. And 100% not worth the asking price :no:

Yeah I had hopes for this, but I think I'll pass until its on sale for a significant discount.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
