  • PSN being down is a tale as old as time. When the PS3 was out and before the PS4 was announced PSN had been down like at least once a month. It was well known as the least reliable gaming network. Even though Nintendo had their “Nintendo WiFi Connection” which was basically P2P and super garbage, it did not go down like PSN did.

    Xbox Live was vastly more reliable, likely because Microsoft has a better understanding of how to run a network, and they took the subscription money and reinvested it back into Xbox Live, growing and bolstering it to the point that it has its reputation for being the most reliable of the 3 gaming networks.



  • What is even the point of this? It doesn’t seem to say that it includes the ability to have your friends join in on your games, which is the entire point of LAN parties, so I have to assume that it does not have that feature. LAN parties aren’t about me coming to your house to watch you play a game by yourself, its about me bringing ny rig to your house so we can play a game together without all the added latency of being on the internet. We get extremely low ping and get to play a multiplayer game together.

    This just looks like a worse version of VR Chat but with the ability to stream my gameplay into the “game.”




  • Nah, the Bungie developed Halo games were great. Literally ruled the world. Bungie lost their way when they started mistreating their own major employees (the reason the number 7 is so prevalent in Bungie stuff). Poisoned the watering hole.

    Joe Staten wrote out this whole world and plan for Destiny 1 and then Jason Jones scrapped it and Frankensteined it with his friends fantasy thing. And he locked Joe Staten out of the conversations about Destiny 1 after that. Joe Staten had written the Dreadnaught (which ended up in the Taken King expansion) as the end game area of the base game. That and what they did to Marty, you don’t do that without some serious internal problems.
