Anyway, according to LG's press release "New research" shows that console gamers, specifically those on Xbox, are the kings of gaming circles, superior supposedly to their PlayStation counterparts and those on PC.

The same press release from LG - in partnership with Activision - goes on to suggest that the study found console gamers (predominantly on Xbox) have better reaction ability than PC gamers.

[....]
"More than 1,400 gamers participated in LG’s Elite Reaction Test, created in partnership with Activision," the press release explained.

"PC gamers happened to fare the worst, with an average reaction accuracy of 67.7%, compared to Xbox players who had an average accuracy of 77.1%.

"When taking the test, users were required to click on targets that faded from green to red as quickly as possible to help increase their score."


The overall reaction score a player received was based on a number of different factors including: Accuracy, Targets hit, Targets missed and how quickly the target was hit.

"Overall reaction scores produced from the test show console gamers to have the best reactions, or ‘twitchiness’, with Xbox gamers having an average reaction score of 79.7 and PlayStation gamers with 71.9. PC gamers had the lowest average reaction score, with 62.2.

"In terms of number of targets hit, Xbox gamers led the way with 78% of clicks on target. PlayStation gamers hit 74%, whilst PC gamers hit just 70% of the time.

"Although PC gamers hit fewer targets than their console counterparts, they were, however, the quickest to react with almost 1 in 5 (18%) of the targets hit being green.

"Compared to Xbox players who only hit 9% of targets while they were green. This meant that while PC gamers were less accurate overall, they did seem to have itchier trigger-fingers.

You realise MAU increases can account for previously NON active users becoming active in a month right?

Yes, the holiday season, especially in a year with Red Dead and the most successful COD in ages will have vastly larger MAUs than a month half way into the year. 

Only you could be this dense to find that surprising. 

 

True, MAU and PSN+ subscriber numbers always go down a little after the spike during the holiday season.

Thread already derailed right from the start  

Jesus 

Yes finally a high budget JRPG with a good battle system. The fighting game is developed by Arcsystem works too (Dragonball fighter z and Guilty gear Xrd).

Is there a deal between Sony and Cygames? Can’t imagine putting out all these high budget games and making them exclusives.

Dat battle system, platimum games

That boss reminds me of a FF summon for some reason.

All 3 consoles are really close. Switch will slaughter all in December though.

It's only 19.50 on Steam. I bet Sheep are paying $70 for the Switch. 

I would buy but I don't know if my computer can handle it. 

Lol what a rip off. 

Is this something like Abzu? If it is, will be a pass for me.

The online is great. I enjoy the daily online races. Most people actually try to to race properly instead of playing bumper cars.

Jerry's scheming for an entire afternoon with BestBuy and Nintendo's technical support trying to save 10 bucks.  

 

It would be easier to just get a job, you fucking wanker.

Why pay more when you can get the same thing for less? No harm just asking unless they make you jump through hoops tosave that money then yeah, just take the loss and not waste your time.

The high scores for this game should be docked for the poor online implementation. The online aspect for this type of game is sooo important. It’s where all the fun is at.

Dualshock 3 sucks for FPS games though they are good for most other genres.  Dualshock 4 just feels much better in general, and they are also great for FPS games unlike Dualshock 3.

I had a bought an individual online membership, but since I know I'm going to be giving Smash Bros to my nephews, on their switch that I set up for them, then I might as well pay more for a family account.

 

I don't know if they can let me upgrade from a $20 membership and just have me pay $15 more for the family online.

No point getting individual membership when you can share with 8 people for just a little more. It’s not hard to find people online to share the membership.

Nintendo Switch Online Family 

With how barebones the service is though, I wouldn’t have gotten it if not for the family package.

Don’t think anyone can break Nintendo’s dominance in Japan at this point. It’s crazy.

 Sony dropped the ball hard on this one. They can’t seem to even do an easy win anymore. I wonder if they intentionally left it easily hackable so the hackers  can make their product more appealing for them.

Is this worth getting for casual online play? Got no interest for offline brawl games.

The digital store war has begun

Didn't know sheep care that much about a character from Persona

Nintendomination! I went to a games store yesterday. Had about 20 people in line mostly picking up a Switch with only a couple odd ones picking up some ps4 games. Switch continues to be a sales monster!

Switch keeps stealing ps4 exclusives
