PC verses XBOX What is more popular?

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

Well we just found out today which one is used most for gaming between the xbox and the personal computer.
The Verge Shows statistics between just Steam users and XBOX live users. The difference is more than 13 million users.

Do you know who has more user?

It’s the PC gamers. in excess of 65 million users on steam, and 48 million users on Xbox live.

Just wait for the Steam operating system (by Linux) to release soon and you will see the number of pc gamers on Steam skyrocket.

Hopefully they make the Steam Os compatible with Android aps and games.

GTA V on PC? How Soon?

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

The question on all pc gamers minds is “Will GTAV make it to pc gaming?”.
Experienced pc gamers who have been playing Grand Theft Auto games from the beginning on pc, know for fact that GTAV will come 6-7 months after the release of the console version. as seen in this poll of what platform GTAV should come on.
GTA always does.

but if you are in need of some comfort. Here Is proof of the platforms that GTAV will be seen on. of course since that page was created, Rockstar has taken down the pc version. but there is now a blank spot which is all I have to give you with that.

but of course there are a handful of console gamers out there running their usual slag, bragging and bashing pc gamers.
Me responding to some clown on Facebook about pc gamers are butthurt and full of excuses why they’re not hissy fitting about GTAV on pc yet.

nope not buthurt. Just waiting
We know you console tards are going to brag and run spoilers for the next few months.
and then come April, you will see the graphics are better, handling is more realistic and audio is better.

You will have just sold your 360 for the new whatever.. but now will sell your “next gen” console for merely $100 so you can have a few more bucks for ram to upgrade your piece of s4!t computer.

Your computer will lag and freeze and you will cry “memory leak in GTA V” just as you have done for years.

Then you will take your Newb tard @$$ and your “most techy friend” up to frys and buy “the best of everything” and never once consider the capabilities of each component.. and again your peice of s41t will lag and freeze and you will scream “MEMORY LEAK DAMN IT!! LISTEN TO ME” …. and your cries will fade as the pc gamers will ignore you and continue enjoying the game

The way it was meant to be

you are a guinea pig and getting the beta version.

For years, Rockstar games has released GTA on console first, then worked like mad scientist cobbler elves to make a ppc version of GTA.
Last release of a Grand Theft Auto game was rough, because lots of newbs couldn’t build a GTA computer. and many more couldn’t make their current computer play the game.

Hold tight pc gamers. Grand Theft Auto Five will come to computers

Console Gaming is the Envy Sport

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

First console out of the gates is the XBox one . They have to make it look beefy. Everyone hates the looks of it. Everyone swears they will jump on the PlayStation because the Xbox looks stupid. Xbox one is rumored to release just in time for early adapters to buy the console for thanksgiving so family and friends will be begging for it by Christmas

They will announce some hardware that we are on the cusp of releasing to the public, but since it is Microsoft (the company long accused of making operating systems built to force you to buy more hardware) they will have some massive machinery in it. That “will never be in computers”. but there will be a version of that hardware on the market one month after the console is released. Then comes a million reproductions. then comes machinery that is better, yet, the existing operating systems identify it just fine.

Day of launch comes, the stripped down basic version is the price that Microsoft said the full version is, only reason people accept it is because they wanted to do the camp out thing on launch day and they justify it because the stripped version comes with a free control and 2 gigs more storage than originally stated for the stripped version.

All of the rich console kiddies jump on the Xbox, even though the Xbox now costs $200 more than the already inflated price first announced.
Then Play station announces they will release in a month. So Xbox releases the full extended blown up package, and the first edition stripped version can not upgrade to it. So the kiddies sell their xbox 1 early version for less than half it’s original cost and round up another $700 for the Elite.

Meanwhile kids are playing GTAV on their console calling kids with computers “poor and ignorant”

Then comes the pc release of GTAV and it comes with better graphics. The console kiddies say “so I already played it, it’s stupid ” then they see the new graphics, so they sell their Xbox for not even 25% of initial cost, and they loaded up on “the best parts” that are in no sequence any good for/with each other.

They buy the game and their computer locks up (due to buying the most expensive crap that the salesperson could mesh together) so they scream “MEMORY LEAK IN THE GAME” and throw internet tantrums and scream and cry about how GTA is always Bwoken. Then they pout, show videos of them selves stomping on their “badass loaded computer”. Youtube will be full of them.and then pout away. after several months they run and buy a new xbox.

They get home and unwrap Their newest Xbox after playing six times in the bubble wrap, and reach over and grab their 9 year old little sister’s laptop to run to the internet and tell everyone how they just purchased the Elite pro excelsior version of Xbox one. The one that has spinny wheels and a mounting bracket for your douche.

When they see right there in the advertisement section of their favorite social network.

PS4 basic comes with an extra small motorized fleshlight attached and virtual reality glasses. For just $600.

Remember kids. The console that releases first, is the one with the spoiled brats who complain about everything. Yes that’s right “Early adapters” are spoiled hipster brats.

Playstation 4 Late 2013 – Rumor

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Rumor says that Playstation 4 should be launched in time for Christmas 2013.
Found on Digital Mojo is a page saying that Playstation intends to launch the next Playstation Console before the next Xbox console.

Let’s just hope this doesn’t leave Microsoft’s Xbox team rushing to to get a release out to compete with Sony Playstation.

also Noted here

Further reading says that the Xbox crew is working on two console releases. One is a lesser and should be released sooner than the next Playstation, but the full actual new Xbox release should be a short time after the Playstation 4.

Is Pc Gaming Dying

Posted onAuthorComputer Tweaker1 Comment

I wrote Is Pc Gaming Dead 2 years ago, Now I recap.

I actually got tons of hate-mail from pc gamers. There was a ton of messages from console gamers saying stuff like “go buy a ps3/360 you cheap %%^#). but to get hate mail from pc gamers on a subject that bothers me. To get called a scare monger or fear monger or a poor writer with scare tactics. It threw me for a curve. So for two years I stayed off the topic. Now the consoles are a few years old. No news on a new Xbox or the next playstation. I do feel like I am cheating because this is a bad time to do an assessment. Then again, people are fanboys of stuff for a good long while. I am certain the fanboyism has petered out now that pc gamers have slapped the console kiddies down with “Nice out dated machinery, still calling it next gen?”

Okay lol that was so wrong of me. but it was right. Very right.

Ok to the work at hand.

I took a trip to the local gamestop to see if I could find a fun new game for my pc. I mean I did just upgrade my video card to dual Nvida gts 250 cards toting 1g memory, and I just upgraded my processor from a dual core 2.9g cpu to a tri core 3.0g processor. and I added two gigs memory to my motherboard. So you can see I am ready to game a bit. I get into the game store and look what I found.

Game stop Pc gaming

Pc gaming went from a small shelf, down to one of the outer edges of a small shelf. A small 4 foot shelf end-cap. so I was was shocked. all of the games so old and outdated, I tried to laugh at it but it came out distorted. It was disturbing. I was outraged. I walked to the cashier and said ” What the %^^&%^ is this %^$%^” or something really close. The cashier pointed at the pieces of paper hanging over the side.

It was three pages I think, front to back listed with  hundreds of pc games they have in the back. I was excited. I bought some games from the list and left there happy. Then I got all the way home and realized ‘dude, we are pc gamers, not paper gamers.”   They could just go ahead and remove that whole dang rack and that notebook on the side and just put us a computer there to select our purchase from. i could go for that.

a week or so later, I was shopping in Walmart for some screws or something. It was late and no hardware stores were open. So wally world was all I had. After I finally found something that might work, I walked to the electronics department so I can look at the fading pc games there and sulk at the three shelves of 9.99 games and a few two year old games. The pc games were gone. I mean completely and entirely gone from the spot they have slowly dwindled down to. They were gone. I broke out my cellphone to take a picture. I back up and bumped into some guy. I turned to apoligize. As i turned I winced because of the huge long glass cabinet of console games. My eyes moved from the furthest end. Nintendo stuff had to have had 300 different games. Counting hand helds and stuff. Then the next case xbox. Well over 100 games. Then playstation 200 or so. Then….. wait…. What????? IT’S A HUGE RACK OF PC GAMES AT THE END OF THE LINE. MORE PC GAMES THAN ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walmart Pc Gaming

The Humble Walmart has more pc games than Gamestop of Spring (on 45 and cypresswood).

so what the heck happened? is pc game dying? Is it on it’s last breath? Is it getting it’s second wind? It looks like pc gaming is coming to the forefront again. Quietly making it’s march forward.

What i am worried about is that most pc gamers are let down enough, they have been buying online only. so they may never even notice that this is going on. and by the time they find out about it, the games will be pulled off the shelf because it was a failed attempt.

Or someone will get the news out as well as they can that pc gaming is not dead or dying, we just have to find it and make sure the guy who sales knows he has what we want and that we will be there for him to profit from.

******Update*****
Well I talked to Gamestop.
Got the answer we needed to hear.
GAMEstop (lol their name says it all.)
Gamestop is reducing their pc games because gamestop tends to sell used games. Pc games, even though they do not get pirated any more or any less than Xbox and Playstation games, they have great deals of protection methods on them that prevent the RE-SELL of Pc Games.
Since GAMEstop sells a lot of used games, and you can’t use cd keys like you used to by “unregistering a cdkey”. Games now come with a limited amount of installs.
The pc gaming industry is killing it’s self

Call of Duty Black Ops

Posted onAuthorGame News

If you think Modern Warfare has great graphics, Wait till you get a load of the next level.
The game has amazing graphics I have never seen before. The cutscenes are so realistic and suspenseful. In scenes where falling or swinging happens in a cutscene I myself actually felt it in the pit of my stomach.
Do not expect to have your hands on this game till November 09 2010.
Head over to the game’s page on the C.O.D site and see the trailer they just posted. Call of Duty Black Op Trailer

Call of Duty Black OPS, Out for Xbox 360 in November. Just in time for The holidays.

Let’s follow the Pc release rumors as they come.

When Will GTA5 Be Announced?

Posted onAuthorGame News

Here, Grand Theft Auto Five Speculations and Rumors

Many people on the internet are expecting to see Rockstar at E3 2010 to announce GTA 5. You have to ask yourself ” when was the last time Rockstar announced a new game at E3?” . If I am not mistaken. The last time they announced a new Grand Theft Auto at  any convention was GTAIII. After that day, Rockstar has not announced the release date until after “leaking” small bits of information about release dates, and then playing out a month or so of riddles and clues with the GTAFORUMs gang.Also it does not fit the format of  Grand Theft Auto game releases. We are on a brand new gaming platform. Rockstar has not used the New platform yet for the other two games that use this engine. Vice city and San Andreas have yet to be released on the new engine.  Rockstar numbers their game releases by engine. Well of course that’s how it has been done since… what 97 or 98? Why change that now ?

Every time Rockstar Games releases the big three games, all three are released on the same engine. Last time this happened, the engine got small tweaks (possibly influenced by the gta modding communities) Making the game smoother and less resource hogging (PC term). This allows them to them make the graphics better and add more game play using less storage and less stress on your gaming gear. It would be unwise to release a new gaming engine to release a new city. Count on the next big Grand Theft Auto to be released, to be Vice City or San Andreas. Also count on a few small variations of these two before you see the next Grand Theft Auto engine.

One of the first GTA rumors sites. That is the longest Grand Theft Auto News and Rumors website. I respect this old schooler because I think he is probably the only guy on the internet who has been playing the game as long as I have, and as consistent. Here is a GTA forum you can join and post your opinions, Hopes, wishes or rants. It’s ok, I know the owner of the site really well. He wont gripe much. That place has kinda turned into just PS3 users.

We can be sure that the next Grand Theft auto we see, will be GTAIV Vice city, or GTAIV San Andres Or a surprise left hook from London. Count on 4 more years.

Happy gaming.

Oh if you want more, Here more on the same subject of the Next Grand Theft auto

Throwing knives 1 at a time. Can scavenge and get more, but not at the same time.. So throw kill, pick up the dead guy’s kniufe, throw kill pick up the dead guy’s knife if he still has one.

infinity ward / Activision produced and manufactured the game.

Olympic deaths- when you die you do flips and twists, kinda cool and funny.

Cash instead of blood- latest patch killed the bloody deaths while in multy player. Instead of blood everywhere you see money fly up.
No cheats no glitch, glitch report feature, and all the cheated Xbox’s have been banned.
Vaseline-eye gone. This refers to the blurry background and scenery area that xbox used for every game that first came out to reduce the amount of imaged teh machine has to render, making it easier to  draw deeper detail in the images it is focussed on. Was a cheap scam if you ask me.  when you die, you get blurry though.

Predator drone missile, lets you do a lock on location while an air strike is performed, you guide the missle.
Auto and barrette at same time, means sniper and machine gun  as secondary weapon, pretty fricken cool if you ask me.
Leader board shows total time. Shows wins.
leader board . Shows accuracy shots. 1v1 with buddy = pad scores. one guy on there had 700+ kills zero misses. He logged in and was 1v1 with his other xbox and shot up the zombie machine.. causing zero misses. Kind of  frooty if you ask me..

Fast pace. Game moved at a rate not seen other than on Soldier Front.

Game was cool, I give it a 8/10.

I no longer have access to the game  or the console. ..

Expect a clear review when it hits PC

Ubisoft resorts to game crackers

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Some legal downloaded  ubisoft games had a bit of  glitch, so ubisoft decided to download an illegal crack and distribute it.

Read More

I got this info from some dude who sounds like it’s a bad thing. I say it’s a great thing. I say that the people who created that crack, deserve a job at ubisoft. They deserve to not have any legal actions put on them for coming forward and explaining exactly how they created it.

Now I don’t hate the guy who posted this info, Infact I think he did a great job.

Someone needs to remind the guys from ARS Technica that the Xbox and and the ps3 have been dissasembled and mods have been made. The day GTAIV hit the shelves, hundreds already had a torrented version.

Google any Current Gen Console’s games and see for yourself..

Remember there are far more console gamers these days than there are of pc gamers. You don’t have to know how to upgrade a video card to own a console.
