ryuzu4924d ago

I wonder which Red Ring O' Death they'd rather have - 360 or sphincter hehe.

Yeah, prolly the sphincter ;)

So they don't have enough room for kinect?

AntoineDcoolette4924d ago

Everyone making anal rape jokes let it be known that is an America exclusive phenomena. European prisoners don't dig the man butt.

I heard or read in an article last year some prison banned the PS3 cause of its WiFi. I guess a guy brought an access point 4G hub and parked close to the building and the inmate got online and planned his escape.

It only does Shawshank Redemption I guess..

Funny article tho...

damn, trophy whores with no ability to sync online, what a sickener.

ZombieAssassin4924d ago

I think they started banning consoles in prison in the states, i think it was mainly due to the ps3 and it's wireless being built in and people being able to connect to the internet and send out messages...or maybe it was the UK or both i can't really remember anymore.

MGRogue20174924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

.... Ridiculous. Prison isn't a place for you to have fun.. Your there for punishment.

Hiruma Youchi4924d ago

Nah see if i get locked up I'd love to play some video games while im in the joint.

DlocDaBudSmoka4924d ago

ill take video games over anal rape every time.

AliTheBrit194924d ago

Sort of...

Don't forget its also to keep people away like drug dealers, theives, murderers etc. away from the public

Might as well keep them happy in there, or would you rather them riot and beat a guard to death?...

Vesemir4924d ago

LOL... Bring in the lamia whip.... oO

Shackdaddy8364924d ago

Its a lot better to let them do video games than to let them do other prison activities - like butt raping :)

MGRogue20174924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

... don't drop the soap

lol

Bolts4924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

I bet you won't last a month as a warden with that attitude. Prisoners are kept in their cells because they allow you to keep them there. Every guard knows that. When the prisoners no longer tolerate confinement thats when you don't have a prison anymore, you have a morgue.

Gaming consoles are cheap. Dead guards are expensive. Let them play games, watch TV, and lift weights as much as they want.

They put ps3"s in their we all know how punishing playing that piece of SH*T now before you ps3 fanboys Get all rounded up and start swearing at your computer,and punching your walls out of mere concentrated anger towards my comment Know that I'm just messing around and I have a ps3

BACK ON TOPIC
It's jail you might as well give them a flat screen tv and a computer while your a it.But they never said those cells had tvs

DlocDaBudSmoka4924d ago

Just so ppl know, the prisons dont 'give' these things to the inmates. The prisoners have to buy them. from either family sending in money, or by working a prison job.

dirty_ripper4924d ago

How about some approvals y'all :D!!!

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.

It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.

It's because it's on Xbox. When Xbox has amazing graphics, they don't matter. When PlayStation does, it's a game changer!

Lightning771d 7h ago

Pretty much my thoughts. They were technical marvel's on PS and still are. The moment Xbox puts out a graphically intense game is doesn't matter suddenly.

4 years ago this month would the UE5 tech demo debut with the girl flying (tech demo said it was only possible on PS5 because of the SSD. Glad to finally see it in its glory.

FFS, gaming journalism has really gone downhill. At least hire people with a basic grasp of grammar... "Me neither" means the exact opposite of what the "author" is trying to say. That's like saying "I could care less"... lol.

S2Killinit1d 6h ago

Maybe because the gameplay being dull allowed it to have the amazing graphics and people are not as impressed by graphics alone anymore? I mean there is a lot of sites saying the story and the gameplay are lackluster. So what are we supposed to enjoy then? Cgi graphics are beautiful but since they arent interactive, they dont impress me as much as they used to. Thats an extreme example, but you get my drift.

Terry_B1d 1h ago

When Playstation (Sony) does it..its usually a great game and not a cinematic experience..or at least something new at the time..like Until Dawn back in 2015.

@gamer:” It's because it's on Xbox. When Xbox has amazing graphics, they don't matter. When PlayStation does, it's a game changer!”

The game looks as good as any other PlayStation game in my eyes why can’t you and the other hardcore Xbox be happy about it and drag PlayStation into every conversation and force PlayStation hardcore to look into the game and find flaw that most games have in one way or another.
@light: “ 4 years ago this month would the UE5 tech demo debut with the girl flying (tech demo said it was only possible on PS5 because of the SSD. ”
Yes at that time it was only possible on PlayStation SSD how ignorant of you to think that after 4 years the technology wouldn’t evolved and move to a industry standard 🤦🏿I wish your mentality wasn’t so naive and narrow to post stuff like that 😩 in a year or 2 a new game will come out that might look better, it’s the nature of the industry.

Now that the distraction is gone I feel that is a good thing that the graphics in games are starting to hit the rooftop and hopefully the developers will put more thoughts into story and gameplay mechanics than just the next shiny oily skin of old.

Reaper22_23h ago

So true. Not surprised by all the negativity. It's a really good game and looks better than any game I've ever seen. GOTY nominee for sure. Like I said before, sony screwed up big time by not purchasing Ninja Theory.

Asplundh17h ago

Pretty much. It's like how the Switch and Steam controller using haptic feedback in their controllers wasn't a big deal but then Sony did it and it was then a "game changer".

fr0sty17h ago

The game runs at as low as 21fps... That isn't much to brag about no matter how good it looks.

We've had graphical gamechangers before, such as Crysis but those games still had gameplay to compliment it. Hellblade pretty much has none, and only achieved such graphics through being incredibly linear and having very small, closed off environments where very little is happening.

Vx_18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

GFX does not mean anything if the game is boring. It is simple like that and these major companies need to understand this simple concept.

Games are like your lady, she may be beautiful to look at for a while but then it gets boring if her character isn't interesting and fun to be with.

Horizon forbidden West has great graphics and great gameplay

GamerRN1d 7h ago

Yeah but graphics don't matter, remember?

anast16h ago

@RN

I've been pretty consistent in saying that we need both.

VincentVanBro1d 9h ago

I agree and I actually think Forbidden West looks better than Hellblade 2. I easily prefer looking at it at least.

Sonic188118h ago

It does look better in my opinion as well. I don't know why it looks better but there's something about the Decima engine or that guerrilla games is using tricks that we don't know of

Abear2114h ago

Can you fly a mount under water in Hellblade 2? I think not! One of the best moments this Gen
