From now on, you will have to pay a monthly fee for your games to have physics if they use havok

I don't know if Microsoft should unload its gaming poo poo on someone else and continue to be terrible, thus ensuring the Xbone and its descendants remain a runty brood, or spin it off and let it die a natural death

the worst company IN THE WORLD now owns autismcraft and the thing that made the dead bodies in dark souls bounce around all funny like WHAT'S TO BE DONE
psot here if u still believe the dream of cloud computing; as if somehow it's actually possible and worthwhile to offload cycles onto a system thousands of miles away from your xbone

does that mean the next dark souls is gonna be on x-box?

I like making the souls mans walk over a bug rock or a stair over and over to make them struggle really hard to snap their legs onto the steps in an almost human fashion.

Physics engines are stupid. Yeah a 5 ton slab of concrete wouldn't bounce if it hit the ground like that but it's the physics engine so it's cool and even though it looks stupid people think it's awesome because it's a physics engine. Who the hell cares if stuff is falling in real time? Man that box tipped over! Look at that rope going! Wooow! So awesome!
