Now this is gaming news!
maybe at the Nick Teens' Choice Award
wow, owned.
Agreed with everything you just posted. Whoever wrote this are idiots, whoever approved it are just as much.
You'd think after Blizzard saw what happened to Ubisoft, they'd learn that having an "always on" connection is the dumbest thing to happen to known gaming.
L4D was made for the PC and it plays,feels the best on PC. I couldn't recommend L4D to any fellow gamer on anything else.
The only company to get away with intentionally selling bits and pieces of a game is Valve. The difference is that they don't charge you the price of a full-console game and make you jump through loops just to play SP.
Compared to SC1, SC2 does come up short. In SC1, you got all 3 campaigns, plus Battle.net, plus LAN-Support, and no activation nonsense. Not so much the same way with SC2. When you charge more for a game that has less content than its predecessor, expect trouble.
Actually, when you look at it retrospectively. The reason people think PCs are left with Console-ports is because that's what the media focuses on. While I do agree that PC-Gaming has taken a step from the limelight, to imply PC Gaming is dying period isn't being fair to PC-Gaming as a whole. Someone already mentioned TF2, and that's just one of many games still played actively on PC today whose player-pool rivals MW2 for both 360 and PS3. I can list a bunch of games still being a...
Why isn't Psycho Mantis from MGS1 in there?
I'll wait for LAN-Support before I put money down, not that it matters to Blizzard.....
Let him be, the fact he's comparing a GTX 480 against a HD 5970 means he doesn't know what he's talking about.
HAWT!
Matt Hazard anyone?
That, or tacking on $100 Microsoft tax won't make building a PC so appealing.
Your RAM and CPU matchups could be better. What's the point of running an X3 with DDR3 RAM if you'd have to tweak the FSB to be around 444 (assuming Multiplier is 7x) so that it cam match the DDR3 1333MHz for 1:1. For the budget conscious, proper cooling is needed as well and I'd be worried if the temps. aren't as tame later in life for that build. I'd highly recommend DDR2 just because it's cheaper and you don't have to run it as hot just so it can meet the CPU to...
Heh. I thought the same thing back in 2007 that 2GBs was all I'd need and that even 4GB was stretching it. 2GB can be stretching it at times when you have memory-intensive games like Crysis that runs 1.5GB by itself, then you have overhead from the OS and whatever background apps you got running and you'll run into Virtual RAM in no time.
I'm going to havta say that if you're already at the point of being able to build your own PC from scratch, chances are you have an OS you can slap on the HDD already. Articles like these appeal to such audiences above. But I do agree that if you're going to advertise "Brand New PC From the Start" to someone that's never touched a PC before, the cost of OS must be factored in. But if you're an OEM maker, you're smart to get the OEM Keys for less than $100. :)...
While that is true Thom, lead-free solder isn't much better as QC is a problem in the industry. The pureness of the material is hampered by the attempt to reduce costs due to the "eco-tax" as you would know it. The diluted samples affect electronics by means of bad oxidation, unstable melting points, and the production of flux as a result: which we all know blows currents to hell. The best example of poor-usage of lead-free is in the 360 and PS3 itself: cold-solder joins, whiske...
