The most important thing for me is simply an active group. This is, of course, the most challenging aspect to running a site. As gamers we have so many different distractions and places to go for gaming news, tips, tricks, videos, etc, it’s hard to start something new and different.
I mean, we’ve seen successful sites close their doors either due…[Read more]

Thanks for responding, Edie.
[quote=53415]I think the biggest problem with gaming websites is that once you build your friends list and are playing with a regular group you don’t have much of a reason to visit the site any more. I don’t know how to fix that.

* What specific things do you feel make a successful gaming site?
Somewhere to go to find like minded gamers.
A calendar or something so game nights can be scheduled and signed up for.* What things do you not like about gaming sites?
Assholes, but I don’t think there is much you can do about that.

Hey guys :hello:
As many of you know, I have been pondering a new direction to take Halo Diehards for quite some time, that expands beyond Halo and fulfills the website needs of a wider range of gamers. Today I am asking people to share what they think a site needs to be a successful gaming site, so that I can do my best to provide that for you…[Read more]

I saw you in a full party last night Chaos. I’m just giving you a hard time for leaving me out in the cold and making me feel generally unwanted and worthless.

On a side note though, that is was prompted me to go into the Explore area, so there is an upside. A whole section of the Beta I would have missed if I’d been…[Read more]

Ah man! You *do* know that we had to click a few times on every single person who was online to see if they were already partied up, right? And I wasn’t seeing notifications when people hopped into the game, either (probably concentrating too hard).

Well, I really enjoyed my time with the Beta and it’s solidified my decision to move on to the XB1. I didn’t get too hung up on the graphics either as I knew, as worm stated, this really should be a “next-gen” game. In all honesty, I’m surprised the 360 and PS3 are even getting the game.
The PvP did get better for me as I found some better…[Read more]

As for Destiny graphics, Destiny is really a ‘next-gen’ game. I have no hands-on with either beta but the 360 is getting up there in age. The console is built on tech from the former years of the previous decade.

So I’m playing the Destiny beta, when one of my gaming buddies, Mace Windex, sends a message asking how I like it. Part of my reply includes how I’m not too impressed with the graphics.
The reason why we’re messaging instead of discussing it in a party, is he’s recently moved from the Xbox 360 to the Xbox One. Immediately I began receiving messages about how incredible the graphics were on the Xbone. Yes, I was jealous. Not only had I lost one of the few gaming buddies I had playing Battlefield 4, but now he was gaming in lobbies of 32 (holy cow, I still can’t believe it!) – – 32 people in a game, whilst I was still stuck with the measly 16.
But back to Destiny. When I told Mace how I wasn’t happy with the graphics, his reply was that they were “amazing” on the Xbox One. It’s eaten away at me for a couple days, and finally after bitching about the graphics for two days I had to go find a comparison video.
Fred Wood has done a great job showing exactly what the difference is in this side-by-side comparison. I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting there to be this big of a difference. Like Battlefield 4, it’s like a film is lifted off the screen when the video is played on the Xbone. Tons of detail appears that is fuzzy on the Xbox 360 and the contrast is all that I would hope for it to be (one of my biggest gripes was the lack of contrast). Plants and tarps move more naturally, and things have a much more detailed texture.
I can’t help wondering if they’re doing it on purpose. I mean, if I were a company that wanted people to buy my next product, would I put effort into making the old one look as good as it could? No, no I wouldn’t. Well, not if I was a soul-sucking, money grubbing bastard.
Is it worth the cost of the Xbone to have next-gen graphics? Only you can decide, but this vid makes a convincing argument.

And to add to that, lol.
Bluestar summed it up nicely last night in a gaming lobby. He said he wants to be able to jump into gaming at the end of the day without having to deal with a bunch of crap. When I asked for clarification, he elaborated that he was referring to all the bells and whistles that are in other games (my words, not his). In…[Read more]

So I found a huge, velvety ball and I was like “Hey, THAT’S not a soccer ball!”
Then I proceeded to play with it for ten minutes, lol. You’re right, it’s fun. Did see the soccer ball the next day and kicked that around, too.
