ah teh gaf, only a step away from the cesspool that is 4chan.

Why do you visit that place AB? :no:

Big community = good balance of neutral chat for all consoles, although more fanboys as well unfortunately, however lots of developers stop by to chat with everyone also, you don't get that many places.

And some of the stuff like the above actually makes me laugh :laugh:

Take the Demons Souls thread on NeoGAF for example, over 100 pages of people who like the game talking about it, on Neowin, I've probably posted about 65% of the posts in that 6 page topic or whatever it is.

Well it definitely has more PS3 activity than Neowin so I have no doubt there Demon Souls thread would be a lot bigger. Just like if I'm asking questions that go unanswered here I go straight to the GameFAQ boards.

I'm not allowed to be part of 2 communities? :rofl:

I registered on GAF in December 2008, only recently had my account approved. Account approval times are sloooooow.

Mystic is right though, the PS3 community on Neowin is pretty dead, more Xbox gamers here so when it comes to something like Demons Souls, which is a PS3 game AND an imported game, I ain't got much chance of discussion on here :p

You're always going to get a closer knitted community on a site like this though compared to GAF where there is literally "too many members". So Neowin > GAF, I ain't going anywhere!

I just registered on the site and have an account but you're saying I won't get approved for months? Are there only those three sections on the forum? I'm just wondering because everything seems so cluttered with that many members.

Well it's completely random, just depends on your luck. Registrations get hand approved every so often, there was an influx of new members just recently. Might only need to wait a week or two, might need to wait months.

Sections are

FAQ

Gaming Discussion -> Online Meetup

Offtopic Discussion

Forum Archive

Sales Archive

So yeah, one of the bad things about GAF, everything is just lumped in together.

I've played the Dark Corners deleted scene - both ways; stealth and guns blazing. Big let down - pretty dull only takes about 20 minutes each.

I've also done a couple of the Horde achievements already I can honestly say that I will not be purchasing this when it comes out on Tuesday, I am seriously disappointed with it. I'm very glad that my friend had a code for a review of it and we did split screen, I think that I will finish the rest of the Horde achievements on split screen once more people have the game next week and finally call it a day with this game!

Wow, all the content looks amazing and hearing that makes me cry. Maybe it's because of the price but all of it just looks beautiful and much more thought out. I don't really care for the Delete Scene but I do want the 7 new maps.

lol why would you need to purchase it when you already played it? It's worth the maps which I don't have. I'm getting it tonight! :D

^^ Yes.

I bought Dark Corners. I think about half of the multiplayer maps are rather bland and will probably never want to play again, but there's some good ones on there, too (Nowhere, Allfathers Garden, whatever map starts with an "M"). I actually really enjoyed the deleted scene, too. I have only played the guns a' blazin' style so far, though.

Sneak is very cool aswell. You can see the Locusts smell the air if you are near.

Yup sign ups are strict over there to just stop the constant flow of fanboys and trolls. Good luck keeping hold of your account for long too.

After 210 posts I got banned for saying some new game concept would need hd graphics :/

You were right Munky! :(

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
