Reading all this discussion about steam reminds about when DVD's started taking over VHS tapes. Man those poor VHS people were super pissed. I'm not knocking on people who won't/can't use steam. They have their reasons, which are valid to them even if they don't make sense to us. It is their CHOICE not to use steam (or as some people just can't due to internet restrictions). However like those people who refused to support DVD due to their cho

Okay So I bought two copies of Elemental: War of Magic. One digitally from you guys for my "guest" computer and a collector's edition for myself. I got one free copy of Fallen Enchantress. Which I would have bought anyway, but was a nice perk. No idea what happened to my second free copy? Not a big deal since there is not Multi-player anyway. Now I want to buy Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes and I found out I am also getting this for free. Swe
Can you imagine territory slowly be turned back into wastes as the wildlands spread... epic!
If I did not have one good buddy to play coop or multiplayer games with I would only be playing single player.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="58" id="3267127"]Here's a sample of native language of Elemental (at least, the Amarian related people): Once you understand that everything in the game is a translation, you can choose to have your characters eat whatever they'd like. They're not literally pigs or cows or fish.[/quote] Shouldn't this have ended the argument a few pages ago? You are <span style="text-deco
How I've been spending freetime waiting for Fallen Enchantress to release... Lemme know what you guys think good or bad. Of course if you don't like Mario Kart it'll be pretty boring. :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS8xOSaNxgI
Entirely too much. I dont understand how steam manages to make me buy games I already own for a console and that I know I will probably never have time to play... Picked up medieval (despite owning a disc copy) to mess around with that Third Age mod.
That depends. Can that dollar be given, lets say instead, for more single player content? If so that's where I want my dollar to go.
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="112" id="3149128"]It's a fun game, but it lacks a lot of the depth of FE. They are different enough where I really don't see me abandoning one for the other. [/quote] Exactly. They both do completely different things and thats great in my book. After playing almost all day today on my day off, I have had 0 crashes and I find myself enjoying it. At times I wish it was a little more complex and other times I li
Right, picking out what to get now. Probably next week or the week after. Thanks for all the advice guys! :)
I just picked up a EVGA GTX 680 and it breathed new life into my system! Now I'm eyeballing the new IVY bridge release. :)
I've been playing this since release this morning and I'm really enjoying myself. This released surprised me, so I had no expectations going into it. Probably why I can enjoy it so much. :)
So I think for video card I'm going with the new 680 GTX :)
Yeah "reviews" are a tough nut to crack. I'm way more forgiving in my games. Things that someone might dock a game for like a couple points might not bother me. At the end of the day not matter how professional or not its usually just an opinion. Your enjoyment of Mass Effect 3 depends largely on whether or not you enjoyed the first two as all. Or more if you enjoyed 2 more than 1 as its closer to 2.
Awesome game so far. Loving it. Also I played the multiplayer and my old ass didnt explode from having multiplayer in my single player rpg! Imagine that! As a matter of fact it was very fun! I also like how its completely optional!
I've been playing the heck out of this. http://wargame-ee.com/
[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="24" id="3085703"]I would vote fore Neutral Evil. They don't give a damn about principles, so they can't be lawful, and they are not impulsive enough to be chaotic. I would go with plain, neutral evil - they are happy as long as they can buy developers and screw and mess their games, as long as their hell-born MS Excel suits can "streamline" the gameplay and depth out of former decent titles. Their ultimate game will be Pong 3D: <br

I ban everyone who uses "/emotion" "/action" to currently explain what they are feeling and doing. I ban myself for not knowing why I "/something" see this all over the internet.
[quote who="impinc" reply="10" id="3094214"]I also wonder what the difference would be going an AMD route? If you have to change the MB anyways, you could get into a Phenom II X6 for a decent price. I know the i7s and such are better than the latest AMDs, but usually when going for best bang for the buck, at a mid range price, AMD usually wins out. [/quote] Yeah AMDs usually tend to be cheaper and I'm going i5 at this po
I really appreciate both of you guys taking the time to clear things up for me. As it stands I'm going to go with a I5 built system. New Mobo, New ddr3 ram. I will most likely get a new Power Supply and Video card at the same time closer to spring. Thanks so much though, I really appreciate and it. :)
Ah okay I see where you are coming from. Honestly though even with quad cores, what games are programmed to use so many cores? This is what I was comparing but is the $100 price difference worth it and after what you said I would think no
[quote who="kryo" reply="5" id="3094155"]If you're keeping your video cards, drives, etc, you can absolutely do an i5 (+mobo and DDR3) rebuild for under $500. Though throwing a new quality PSU in there too may take you close or over (it's inadvisable to rely on one that's already up there in years even if the original rated power output is sufficient--they tend to age poorly).[/quote] Yeah this is a slightly newer one as my old one broke, Its a Coolmaster 800W real power o
[quote who="kryo" reply="3" id="3094134"] Quoting StormbringerGT, reply 2As for CPUs I checked new egg and it looks like I have the best for socket 775 but that can't be right, I;m sure theres got to be something better that I'm missing here. It's because the socket 775 is obsolete. Most of what you'll find out there now are remnant stock and such (you'll see they only carry three models new, the rest are refurbs and returns). There's really nothing for
