DE2 didn't suck, but it was a step down from DE1 which is what stung. It still had a more complex storyline and better FPS RPG mechanics than most games out there at the time, certainly was still worth playing through.

Oh I'm sorry, did I disapprove of your favorite show?

Where to begin, where to begin.

Maybe the irony that one moment you're telling me that millions of people watch (so it must be good?) and then bagging me for being a counter-culture trend follower the next. I suppose that went over your head though.

Maybe I could point out that on tv.com, virtually all the episodes from the newer season have terrible ratings, compared to the earlier ones:

"its hardware requirements made it unplayable to all but the most dedicated PC gamers"

I'm really quite sick of everyone reiterating this. Yes it had pretty high requirements but you could certainly play it on a ~$150 card for that time and make it look better than any console game for the time.

I'm guessing the reason everyone keeps saying this is back when it was released, maxing it out and having it give playable framerates was impossible but that wasn't...

Family Guy has not been funny for years. Anyone who says otherwise honestly either hasn't watched the earlier seasons or is a terrible judge of comedy.

There's no SD slot because if there was it would ruin their illogical pricing structure. 16GB of memory doesn't really cost $100, more like half than that, neither does 32GB. Nor for that matter does a 3G chip add $130 to the cost.

Since Apple's customers are let's face it, on the whole are pretty technologically clueless though, Apple can get away with it.

Let's face it, DLC is a scam that's more or less replaced expansions as an additional source of income.

The difference is, instead of making a coherent 10-15+ hour experience, they'll pedal a dozen or so nonsense features such as items or usually extremely minor quests which altogether will cost about as much as the expansion but will we vastly less in actual content.

So, I'm not touching this whole DLC craze with a 10 foot pole. Hopefully, it will die a swift death,...

They will support 3 monitor gaming, scroll down to the bottom.

There's really no doubt it will be an archer class. They have a class for every classic fantasy archetype, it's just implausible that they won't have a character that uses a bow and arrow.

I agree but NVIDIA have their own advantages. They seem to generally do better in minimum framerates, although not by much and their supposed advantages in tessellation could possibly matter in the long term.

Hard to tell at the moment whether this will matter but at least now we know, the moment either can lower prices whether it's NVIDIA or AMD, they will.

Value performance at best it only matches AMD's offerings. Sure the GTX 480 in SLI outdoes AMD in every game by a mile but it also costs that much more.

The sad part is, price competition isn't going to drive down prices either. The real barrier right now is TSMC, the chip foundry that is used by both AMD and NVIDIA. It's the reason AMD was having graphics card shortages even when they had no competition and should have had their cards flying out the door - instead they had to ra...

NewZealander, your avatar sums up what it's like to be a console gamer. For the same price I could get a 1TB external hard drive.

I don't think anyone would disagree with that. What irks PC gamers though is the endless number of 13 year olds who perpetuate the myth everywhere that a good PC costs 4k, with their only frame of reference being overpriced Alienware rigs and the like. There's tons of guides out there that can build you a high performing rig for under $750, even under $500 easily.

If you choose to go down the Intel route, the i5-750 is the sweet spot. When overclocked to match the 920 clock speed and when both are overclocked further, performance is practically identical. AM3s will offer you better value, but on most games, head to head, an AM3 and i5/7 overclocked to full capacity, the i5/7 will come out on top by a reasonable margin.

If MAME emulation is anything like PS2/GameCube/Wii emulation then clock frequency and number of cores are the most impor...

It's not exactly a huge surprise that Apple customers are willing to lay down huge wads of money on products they don't fully understand.

Calling it taking advantage is ridiculous. Had we been talking about Oackleys sunglasses would you have said that they're scumbags and are taking advantage of customers by selling them a pair virtually equivalent to those a fraction of the price? No, because you're unable to recognise your double standards.

Apple likely removed it ...

Kind of pointless when you can already play against AI with a modified beta and just see all the stats and animations yourself. Shout casting replays is where it's at.

Not to say atmosphere isn't important, but graphical effects fall waaaay down the line of importance past storyline and gameplay.

Surely you must mean the other way around. Every encounter in ME:2 was virtually entirely the same, you could ignore giving your companions tasks in everything but the hardest difficulty and just play it lone gunner FPS style.

DA:0 had way more tactical depth, you had to actually use combinations of abilities if you wanted to survive difficult encounters and you had way more to choose from. The problem with it was more that some dungeons went on for-----ever, and even with the va...
