Thread Closed Until It Be Cleaned

Seriously, posting links to youtube is one thing.

Posting your own screenshots of a game that is not release until 5 days from now, a whole other thing.

Thread Reopened

67 Comments Deleted

I mean seriously, should I really have to delete 67 comments??

My apologies to anyone whose comment I deleted and was on topic, I did my best, but literally there was about 6 pages of just pure nonsense.

I think it goes without saying keep your own screenshots out, keep the talk about pirated games out, etc.

In fact, I really do not see how there should be one comment about gameplay until the 29th. If you are so upset at that fact, go to a forum that allows discussion about pirated software. We have not, and never will, tolerate that.

With that said, it is a grey line about linking to videos on youtube, scans on other sites, etc. It is not always clear what is right and wrong in those regards. If it is a reputable, well known site, Use your discretion, and if someone feels it is inappropriate, report it, and many thanks to the members who did report this thread already. Thank you.

Thankfully around here it should be pretty easy to get a copy at a store, a friend of mine is unable to reserve his through Gameplay, so is just going to go into a store and get the PS3 version.

I imagine in denser areas it's going to be more difficult.

Ya...I'm in NYC and I didn't reserve the game. I think I am just going to try at different locations and hopefully get the game.

Also, a few Best Buys are opening at 12 AM on Tuesday. http://kotaku.com/383236/best-buy-announce...aunch-locations

If you didn't preorder the game maybe you can get there early enough to get the game.

I don't know how iCon got hold of GTA IV this early, although it is a recurring trend with GTA games to be leaked early. A curse of their popularity.

I think the dodgy camera work might be whats actually going on in the game. It takes a skilled camera man to wobble so precisely :D

My mistake, I didn't notice the edge of the screen waving around.

In summary, the guy is skilled idiot

Is there an option to put a seatbelt or something?? I thought I remebered reading something about that.. :huh:

But yea, the Euphoria animation engine is amazing in what little I have seen, I do hope other games start to use it.

My Play.com pre-order's status is now Processing, so with any luck they'll send it tonight...

That really isn't going to happen. The amount of people ordering from Play.com means that if you ordered any time within the last month and a half or so, your gonna be waiting a hell of a long time.

Incidentally, Game have a release-day delivery guarantee going, but of course thats only for us Brits. I canceled my order with Play.com to put one in with Game so that I'd get it on the day :laugh:

I ordered on 9th Feb :) Some people are reporting that Play has already despatched their orders so anything's possible, really.

Why? Why is it a whole other thing

In the YouTube case, you are posting a video that shows screenshots/video gameplay from another person

In posting screenshots/video gameplay here, you are posting a video a shows screenshots/video game made by you

There is no difference.

There is quite a difference. We do not and will never promote piracy here. By posting a link to a YouTube video from a random person, nobody here is showing that they've pirated the game or purchased it earlier than they should have. But by posting your own shots, you're pretty much saying, "Yeah, it was me, I did it," and showing that you have pirated the game or otherwise obtained it earlier than you're supposed to.

Talk of piracy is not allowed here, so it should follow that promoting piracy by showing screenshots of a game you have pirated is also not allowed.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      By +Nik Louch · Posted

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
