You know what? Everyone can come up with gaming analyses. No seriously, everyone can do his/her homework and predict something. And quite frankly, we got tired of all those gaming analysts that try so hard to predict things that will a) never happen or b) that are 100% confirmed. Ironically, these guys are being paid and the industry seems to be focused on their predictions. However, Diablo III proved analysts wrong and shows why we don’t need analysts.

A new Far Cry 3 footage emerged today, courtesy of GameTrailers, and showcases what is wrong with the gaming industry these days. You see, Far Cry is known for its freedom. Yeah, freedom (mark this word because it’s really important). However, Ubisoft seems unable to offer what all of their fans have been asking all these years. Instead, the company decided to go the Uncharted route and include one hell of scripted events and scripted gameplay sequences that were made exclusively for that scene. Continue reading Far Cry 3’s latest footage is underwhelming and shows what is wrong with today’s gaming industry→
You know what? Specular and diffuse maps are perhaps the cleverest things we’ve ever seen in the gaming industry. In case you were unaware of, specular and diffuse maps are usely applied when light is being casted on various textures. Ironically, they are also those that have kept us behind this whole time, as most developers use detailed specular and diffuse maps to ‘hide’ their blurry and low-resolution textures. This can be easily noticed even in Crysis, especially when there is no light to hide the textures of those, infamous rocks. As a result of that, textures in shadow places look flat and blurry as hell. Continue reading This is why we need more than 2GB vRAM in our graphics cards→
With the upcoming release of Dark Souls PC, we thought it would be appropriate to share our thoughts on the ideal and proper PC version of Dark Souls. Obviously, most PC gamers would love to see better textures and better graphics but let’s be realistic; that ain’t gonna happen. Therefore, we’ll be realistic on our demands and we’ll present you what features the PC version of Dark Souls should support. PC gamers demanded this game to get released on their beloved platform and it would be wise for Namco (and the company porting it) to support them. Continue reading Dark Souls – These are the features that should be supported in the PC version→
And it’s finally here with us. Kepler, the next codenamed Nvidia card, has been launched and comes with some amazing features. The card supports up to 7 monitors, a new feature called GPU Boost that raises the clocks of the card for a limited time, Adaptive Vsync, FXAA, while on the other hand 3D Vision Surround gaming is now possible with only one GPU. Not only that, but GTX 680 is power efficient as it averages around 175W and comes with the best overall performance. Continue reading Nvidia GTX 680 Round-Up; Nvidia retakes the performance crown→
We were wondering whether we should write a performance analysis for Mass Effect 3 or not. You see, BioWare’s game has a lot of PC issues, and we should bring them to your attention. However, after finishing the game, we discussed about it and felt the need to talk about its ending and why we consider it a great ending. Yeah, Mass Effect 3’s ending is fine, so get over with it. Continue reading Mass Effect 3 Ending Is Fine So Get Over It→

I really wanted my first editorial article – for 2012 – to be about the things that have happened these past months in DSOGaming and its overall progress, but that will have to wait. As you may have heard, members of the House Committee will be discussing PIPA/SOPA in Washington, D.C. Although DSOGaming is not based in USA, we will join the fight against SOPA and will black-out in protest of legislation that would allow DNS and Search Engine Blocking. Hey, we know that we are a relatively small website, but when you do support something, you simply have to show it, right? We strongly suggest every major gaming site to join the fight. This is something that will affect all of us. Why you ask? Wait until you can’t reach our site at all because you won’t have the power to decide what websites you can and cannot reach. Yeah, SOPA is THAT bad. Continue reading DSOGaming will join the fight against SOPA and will black-out on January 18th→
