yay,finally more dx11 games

pangitkqb5607d ago (Edited 5607d ago )

With more dx11 games coming out I'm thinking of upgrading from my ATI Radeon 4850 to something more hefty.

That will be fun :) (and not even super expensive! thank goodness!)

Blacktric5607d ago

The game looks mighty fine already (watch The Exiled Prince DLC's trailer from below). Can't wait to see how Bioware used DX 11 to enhance the game.

has throttled the ever-bloating system requirements that I (as a PC gamer) was used to. Since this gen started, I've changed GPUs ONCE. In 5 years. That's a record in my 18 years of PC diddling.

PC elitists complain about consoles throttling graphics, but graphics have mostly hit a ceiling anyway. Sure, there will always be prettier and shinier textures and rendering techniques, but there's something to be said for games that don't require a supercomputer to run (FFXIV being the most notable exception of 2010).

branchedout5607d ago

I hate to agree with you, but I do.

Because I'm happy that my current setup is going to last a super long time, and in the event I need some more juice, it'll be a drop in the bucket to upgrade.

SimonSaysEverything5607d ago

who cares xD, mouse+keyboard > all

Sarcasm5607d ago

Well I changed my GPU 3 times. I went from a GTX 260 to a 465 and was satisfied for awhile. Then realizing how hot that damn 465 makes my room, I now have a GTX580 and glad I made the switch. Not only can I max 95% of any PC game that's going to come out, it also runs much cooler than my 465.

Otherwise, I'm set for the next 3-5 years.

divideby05607d ago

so the cost of the recommended rig for this would be about 700 - 800 bucks, excluding monitor ???

I will be upgrading my PC rig this year for D3...

I know for sure it aint 300 bucks and just once again shows you cant compare PC with consoles......you get what you pay for

hassi945607d ago

By the looks of it I could build that PC for less than £300, around $400 (excluding DX11, an extra £100/$150 to get a GTX460 in that case), don't know where you're buying your parts from.

Sarcasm5607d ago

Get something similar to this http://www.newegg.com/Produ...

and buy a $160 GTX 460 and you're set for the next 3 years of 1080p gaming goodness.

hassi945607d ago

My PC demolishes everything but those DX11 recommendations. I have a DX11 card but too weak to run it well, may have to get a 470 soon :)

Dragon Age Lead Says Including World State Reactivity Felt Like It Was "Irrelevant Or Not Enough"

Dragon Age 2 set the precedent that the series would always carry our choices over, but was it worth it?

If the choices won't matter, why bother? Bioware works so hard at giving meaningful choices but rarely if ever carrying out the impact of such choices to the end.

EA Made Dragon Age and Mass Effect DLC Free On PC By Retiring The BioWare Points System

Immersed Gamer writes: "In order to replace the oppressive BioWare Points system, EA is making a large portion of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age DLC catalogs free for PC users.

For those of you blissfully unaware, EA and BioWare employed a payment system called BioWare Points on PC to pay for DLCs for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While PC gamers have been struggling with BioWare point’s unfair conversion rates and extremely scarce and cost-detrimental sales.

Console players have been allowed to purchase content in pieces through the appropriate Sony and Microsoft shops. For real money, and not BioWare monopoly bucks. In turn, console players missed out on some DLC content, such as Mass Effect 2 pre-order bonuses that have been repackaged into a DLC pack."

Great response to Ubisoft and their disgusting behavior. Ubisoft decide to take away DLC from people who paid for it, while EA give it for free to everyone when they realize their system sucks. Who would have thought that EA of all companies would be showing Ubisoft how it should be done (even if this is EA fixing their own mistakes as well).

Mobis-New-Nest1398d ago

What goes around comes around and I promise you, Ubisoft will see their actions blow back on them when their diminishing sales numbers and stock taking a hit downward. That's the only way a company learns when they decide to be reactive instead of proactive.

All BioWare Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "There was a time that BioWare games were the biggest deal in gaming. The Canadian developer’s legacy of all-time classics is well known. Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur’s Gate are some of the biggest names in gaming.

While BioWare’s quality has fallen off lately, there’s no denying the quality of titles in their portfolio. That’s why we’re going to dive in and rank every BioWare game from worst to best. By every, I do mean every BioWare game, even the ones you completely forgot about!"

Ranked from worse to even more worse more like, they been on free fall for a fair few years now and I personally don't think any of there earlier games have aged well

autobotdan1557d ago

Wow to think at one point in their history they made a Sonic the Hedgehog game..crazy

chicken_in_the_corn1557d ago

Anthem is crazy underrated. I really enjoyed it. ME1 is Bioware's best imo

I actually put quite a bit of hours into Anthem but i dont think its underrated. It was a huge mess, server issues, gameplay issues, crashes, no endgame loop, too few different enemies, uninteresting gear. too few dungeons.

It for sure had potential and if they could have managed to keep the same gameplay of the classes but without the rest of the issues, this game could have been huge, but in the state in which it launched it was such a letdown. They partly fixed some of the issues, but it took too long. A grinding game like this needs to hook players from day 1.
