Student loans are a necessarily evil for many students, allowing them to pay for school tuition, books, fees, and housing expensive. Unfortunately, in a culture that has become increasingly accepting of mounting loan debts, many students are using loan funds to purchase personal items.
Will we ever get a good Superman game? Here's how to make the perfect Superman game.
In a world where Gambit thrived, Destiny 2’s seasons, storylines, and even its endgame might’ve revolved around PvEvP as a core foundation.
Destiny already has the pretty hyper 'raid' fixation and then they added legendary raid dungeons. Hyperfixating in PvEvP wouldn't work as well because you need a lot more than 2% of the userbase to keep that going unlike raids that are propped up by streamers who make running them their whole job. Most players don't play all the raids let alone run them over and over. And most who play PvP don't want structured PvE elements.
Microsoft is tackling Xbox Cloud Gaming latency with real testing and tech upgrades—here’s what’s working, and why it matters.
Speaking as someone who uses xcloud, i havent really noticed much lag, if at all. I have used the service on a wide variety of devices. A VCR XBO, a One X, the logitech GCloud, steamdeck and my work PC. in all cases it just works and works really well. I was not interested at first in the idea of streaming a game, but then i really started using it as a way to gauge interest if a game is worth my time of downloading/installing and I just cant help but jump into new titles when they drop. I used to do the same with new releases on netflix so i can see why they make that similar proclimation.
With Remote Play, the lag can be almost complete nonexistent too. My TV and Receiver glitched up really bad a few weeks ago and my Xbox wouldn't output through 4K 120hz for a few weird hours of power cycling these stupid devices, so I got to test this out while my Xbox just refused to output video through hdmi.
With a Backbone on my phone, and a controller connected to the console (hardwired into the modem through an Ethernet switch; my phone is connected to a Router that the modem routes to - so there is that extra network layer), I could not notice any difference. Avowed was set to the Balanced mode, maybe Performance would've exposed a lag with the extra frames but the response on my phone screen looked near exact from stick push to game response.
Cloud Gaming, playing something like South of Midnight feels responsive enough to me, and games like Pentiment you really really can't tell, and if you could, that's a game where lag would be inconsequential to the experience
I live in a city that has an Xbox Cloud server, and my local network uses Wi-Fi 6. I've used the service for quite a while. I can't really say I don't feel the latency. Some titles are completely unplayable for me, like Forza Horizon 5. But there are also many games where I barely notice it, such as A Crab's Treasure and Halo MCC.
Honestly, it's great that they're working on making it better. But the way it works right now is already pretty usable, and casual gamers, who I assume are the target audience, probably won't even notice the latency. The issue then becomes more of a commercial or marketing one, because casual gamers are either on mobile or console, and they probably don't even know Xbox Cloud exists, how much it costs, or how it works.
It also doesn't help that some of the most popular casual games aren't available on it at launch. Sports games from EA, for example, are always a couple of months late.
Yup...so true
I mean if your living at home with Student Home who honestly keeps all their finance for books and other Uni stuff. They know what we spend it on...
Games, Clothes, DVDs, Going out to town to get mortal and other stuff you want...thats mostly what Student Finance is spent on.
Saying that though if you don't get a job which pays so much before your 30 then you don't need to pay anything back.
Plus lets not forget the Student £600 - £1200 Bursery you don't need to pay back whats so ever
Do we complain when we've spent everything and we have nothing left...course we do but it's just what happens
Anyway I'm not that bad myself, I set up an ISA account to put a bit of money in so at least I'll have some money from my loan I can put on a deposist for a house in the future.
Let me guess. This is going to prompt a action by Student Financial Aid companies, as well as several other groups, to boycott and ban video games because a select few students are simply too irresponsible to use the money for what it was initially given to them for.
I seen a student pay for 1 drink on her credit card in the pub the other day. Her first card got rejected. She then sent a text message on her iPhone.
Amazing.
Man...my parents are rich, but naturally they don't wanna help me out at all. So what I end up getting is batshit poor loans from student services. Worse yet, i gotta pay rent(my parents force me to), cover all of my own expenses, and pay for the majority of my tuition and books out of my own pockets too.
I wish I has spare cash for gaming and such ._.
"Students Increasingly Purchasing Video Games with Loan Money"
Not surprising. Console games are way to expensive (60-70€). Even new PC games on steam are 50€. Then there's the overpriced DLC's. That's too much money for a game. Thank God for Steam sales.
Gaming developers/publishers should think about revising the PC/Console games prices.
