Console war threads are completely befuddling to me. Read one page of that Tomb Raider thread and had to bail out.

Not sure how the PS4 version is supposed to be better when it's hopping up and down between 30 and 60 fps on a freaking sine wave. An unstable framerate is the only thing worse than low framerate. If you're going to average 50, give up on your "60 FPS!!" marketing and lock the damn thing lower. Jesus.

If this is what we have to look forward to this gen, then I say bring on Steam and Oculus and iPad and the videogame console apocalypse

A last Gen port that was rushed to beat the big releases out is not a good game to judge either console by.

i dont get these responses. im just showing the german whats it like number wise if he continues his path with shitty finance degrees

are you shocked its low? well no duh its fucking college sophomore summer intern salary from 2 years ago. im guessing its around 26-28 an hour now with 1.5x for going over 40 hours a week. they arent going to pay you a real paycheck until you get your degree done, so of course its low. you do it for the experience part on your resume

or are you shocked because its high? because its not, its the lowest earners in the firm. youre doing the same job as the staff but getting pennies and the firm is making atleast 10k off each intern from the clients they made them work on. i know because i billed them for my hours and got 1/4th of what i was billing

not sure. I know you need to acquire two licenses I think in 90 days if you're hired. Just google sales associate Franklin Templeton to see.

You definitely need licenses. I work for a mutual fund company. The question is will they pay for them if you happen to fail the exam since they are like 300 bucks.

That too!

But did you read my post? I'm saying the PS4 version is probably worse, not because of the console's hardware limitations but because the fascination with 60 FPS means that even though the game can't run at that framerate reliably, it's trying anyway.

The XBone version appears to be stable at 30, based on the numbers in the thread. Stable at 30 >> dancing a jig between 30 and 60. They should've just picked a reasonable number for the PS4 version. This whole thing is infuriating. Bring on the GabeCube.

smh @ the inclusion of Cam, Romo, and Kap on that list over Eli and Rivers.

I'm ok with putting Alex Smith on the list though. He has blossomed into the game managing QB of game managing QBs.
Click to expand...

I agree with Kap and possibly Cam.

Cowboys are a 3 win team without Romo though. He literally broke his back carrying them this year.

Xbone support group. 30FPS and lower image quality is okay. It's going to be okay.

I have no interest in playing the new Tomb Raider on PS4 anyway.

I'm looking forward to Infamous and MLB 14.

Oh I agree that frame rate drops are worse then a stable but lower frame rate. I want 60 fps in all games but if it is going to drop a bunch then just lock it at 30.

if you want a surefire way to make loot go accounting and get a cpa. think they are called chartered accountants in euroland. either way i made 25$ an hour in internships after taking just 3 accounting classes in college and was offered full time contracts even before graduating. but it wont be fun, getting the degree nor the doing the job.

but if you can land a govt. job, you can probably sleezbag all day like bionic and post about Japanese DS games during your job. Moneys in the private sector but they will also work you like a dog. (8am to 11pm during corporate tax season, no weekends)
Click to expand...

I make $55 an hour in a guberment job, have a month off every year, and will collect a pension starting at 44. You can keep the private sector and your fat paychecks. Not worth it for me.

Although we all know your job title is "Leech," so I wouldn't take your word for the job market. Detroit isn't booming.

I actually thought it seemed high for an internship. I guess you're talking about a big stock firm, though.

Hell, lock it at 40. Most of these 120 Hz tvs ought to be able to handle that I assume...
I have no idea if they can handle it or not

Fed jobs are great.

State jobs usually suck in comparison. But dat pension.

70% of your paycheck 20 years in? That is awesome. Unsustainable but awesome while it lasts.

I calculated the hourly wage to help your Simple mind, as it's obviously a salary.

Who wouldn't want a pension given the choice? I realize the private sector has completely eradicated them for almost every job in America, but only a complete moron (i.e. you) would think they aren't an amazing deal. I'll pull in right at $50K a year for the rest of my life starting at 44. Provided I live an average lifespan (not a Detroit one), that equates to well over a million dollars. It also adjusts annually with inflation, so the true dollar figure grows significantly even if spending power doesn't.

Doesn't it drop well below 30FPS though?

Is anyone in here actually buying the Tomb Raider port for $60?
Click to expand...
Yes, but the average framerate is 29.84. That's not quite "perfect 30 FPS", but you're not going to notice much.

The PS4 port's average is 50, which is a pathetic number when it's supposed to be running at 60. Give up and lock it lower. Use the extra power to increase the graphical fidelity. Do something.

Some people actually think a game that dips to 18 FPS and maxes out at 30 is better than one that never dips below 30 and hits 60. That's some brainwashing.

what do you with the govt, and can you help a brother out? After graduating college I've put in dozens and dozens of jobs on usajobs, but nothing. I also interned with the secret service, but that was for a semester.

youre working until 44 years then settling for 50k a year from then on? 50? are fucking kidding me? I live in the united states, not a third world country. 53k is the current starting salary for new grad auditors with no experience. plus benefits, overtime, expense accounts, bonuses and paid holidays.

so after i work for your company for 20 odd years, instead of stock options and partners draw and capital that i can live off for the rest of my life, you will offer me less money a year than a pimple faced 22 year who just came out of college and expect me to live my life off that? seriously hope you arent an adviser at some college because i would be suing you if you put those ideas in my kids heads and draining his ambitions

Other people actually think outliers have statistical merit when a mean is staring them in the face.

Should've locked it at 30 and used the spare cycles for extra hair effects.

Fair enough. I was lucky to get some real working experience as an undergrad this summer in cali, my acct teacher was talking about how some past graduates were so pumped to be doing real work with quickbooks and bank recs at their new job at a big 4 in Boston and I already got that shit on lock.

Id move out of the state if a job was offered to me, but I have no money. Only way it'd work is if I stayed with someone until I could afford my own place.


I need a career, fast.

Depends on the area obviously. In Detroit, you are basically Joker from the original Batman throwing bags of cash in the air.

In New York/Boston/Chicago/LA/Miami, you are eating $30 Italian meals served straight from the dumpster, driving a used BMW.

He got a cyst removed from his back in the pre-season. It was speculated that the cyst was near the spine. They were also rumors that he was receiving treatment for his back all year. The redskins game was probably the straw (insert pun).

I believe he was playing with a bad back all season and still put up respectable numbers.
