I'm staying out of this one. If you're reading this Panda. I'd advise the same.
Want Realism? Join the Military. Don't half-ass it with foreplay objects.
That looks really good. The difference in AA is contrasting.
Agreed, I thought this was Valve's Free Weekend plays on Steam because they allow you to download the client and take it online for those two days. If you bought L4D2 for 360: chances are, you already had an intention of playing it online.
6GB of RAM sounds more than enough to me. It really depends on your GPU and your CPU. 2.3GHz DC sounds fine enough to me, even if it's a simple Intel E2180. Most of the time, the CPU won't bottleneck the GPU unless you got a game like Supreme Commander or Crysis (get the idea?) that heavily rely on CPU as much as GPU for performance. And it also depends on what resolution you're playing at as well.
With that in mind, I foresee you needing only a new GPU. An 8800GT should work out...
Well, San Diego is right on the border of Mexico. So where does R* get their workforce? How much are they willing to be paid? *insert sleepy mexican here*.
Joking aside, it's like this with alot of jobs. Overworked and underpaid. But specifically, the wives mentioning the promoted studio manager swearing alot of very unprofessional. But it must be okay there. Either way, if R* SD has a union, then strike!
If your PC can play ME1 ok, I doubt ME2 will be any more demanding, seeing as how they're using the same engine with minor tweaks. I doubt any serious upgrading is needed here.
That's one thing I love about PC gaming that the writer addressed so well already. With PC Gaming, anyone can make their own games and answer to no-one. With PC; the development costs aren't as high because you're using readily made tools and need not answer to any company for SDKs and be encumbered under devkit fees, royalty fees, production fees. With fewer risks, you can experiment more and be more creative, thus contributing to our culture.
The best unintentional game in exis...
How can anyone argue against the writer? No gamer here wants to see creativity get destroyed in the name of making a solid buck by tossing out the next CoD 42 or MGS-44. New ideas, new ways of playing, new stories is what keeps us all in the gaming culture.
Developers should aim to develop PC games with their "target audience" in mind, Not the whole gaming demographic. By trying to develop games to appeal to many audiences at once: your development costs go up and limits your creative freedom in this already expensive gen.
Make good games and the sales will reflect that.
Can someone explain this "3D" to me? My knowledge of this 3D-hype is as dated as the last Spy Kids movie. If my childhood memories serve me right, I got a headache from seeing too much blue.
EA just found their way back on my Sh!tlist. But I saw this coming miles away. The person who sent their $60 to Dice must be sh!tting himself right now *figuratively*. Pirates are just scapegoats to mask EA's real agenda of oppressing the mod community to sell their own DLC.
I don't know why they're so obsessed with stopping pirates. The simplest solution is to just make good games with good features. People will buy your product to support you and the sales will prove that.
Valve FTW.
I'm not interested in the artwork, I want to see in-game screenshots and meaty info. I'm not paying for some fancy artwork I can get off the internet for free.
I just hope they keep their word about a "open PC Beta". That means, no keys needed. The article sure didn't look that way. I'm not going to fight for a beta I potentially might not like.
I'm anticipating complaints about the graphics engine. Mainly the part where "ME2 looks too similar to ME1 with little graphic upgrades". I'm also anticipating complaints about framerate issues and screen-tearing.
Just thinking out loud.
All I know is that this is EA here. I wouldn't hope for anything. So what? It's 2 SP Modes but both being about 2 hours each. That's not much. Or 1 SP mode will be drastically cut short in favor of DLC. There's so many possibilities that EA can screw us over because that's what they do best.
Exactly, those girls are as useful as Booth Babes. Don't expect Frag Dolls to say anything bad about a Ubisoft product.
