Have you played Witcher 3? I can't comprehend a game improving on it terms of open-world depth and detail any time soon.

Alright, you assholes win. I suppose I have to pick this up now despite not being able to finish any other 3D Zelda I've tried. I went back and forth between Wii U and Switch, and while watching some streams on my big TV I could definitely see a slight improvement on the Switch, but fuck that...

Man, I watched some live streams on the big TV where my Wii U is, and there was definitely a noticeable difference between the consoles that didn't really come through on the YouTube vids. In each case the Switch was easily sharper, had less aliasing artifacts, as well as better overall contrast...

I've tried several times as I've heard that since it came out. I can't do it. I don't know exactly why. I played the shit out of Mario 64 when it released and it was the same kind of weird N64 3D engine. OOT just never grabbed me. The goofy NPC art-style and weird bloopy voices like spronk said...

I've never been able to finish a 3D Zelda. I've tried OOT several times. I just can't seem to maintain interest for long. It always feels like a struggle so eventually I ask myself WTF I'm doing and then it'll sit for a couple of years. After a while I'll pick it up again and forget where I am...

Jesus fuck. Some of you people could use a solid roundhouse kick to the testicles.

Trump's too easy of a target and it's making creative people like Oliver lazy. I'm sure that's all a strategic component of his 48D chess game, or whatever.

I certainly wouldn't call it tiny. The PS2 era textures for the PC drove me bonkers. They seem to be all gone and the game is much better looking. However, it's not exactly a titanic improvement, and 60 gigs for a texture pack is ridiculous. But if you have the free space and hardware to take...

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with going for an i7 these days. The list of games that will take advantage of HT is currently pretty small, but I expect that will change.

That combo is showing as $370 for me. Too big of a jump to be justifiable, IMO. The Kaby Lakes seem to be virtually identical with the exception of easier and more stable overclocks above 4.5GHz or so. Diminishing returns really start kicking in at those speeds. For an extra $20 or so, sure...

I picked up the i6600k and a Gigabyte G1 board for $300 as a bundle. You're not getting close to that with a 7000 series any time soon.

I'm not sure why it's hard for people to believe that a six year old processor is outgunned in games by the latest model. Clearly gotta be placebo effect! Of course a hefty GPU upgrade is going to make for a much more significant difference, but this thing is absolutely faster and smoother. And...

Whoops, yeah..typo. That should be 970, which was OC'd to well beyond stock 980 speeds. I'm still only on a 60Hz monitor, so the 970 to 1070 jump wasn't going to do a whole lot for me as I was maxing at 60fps before in pretty much everything. I found the 1070 for $330 during a Black Friday sale...

I recently put together a new system after 5 years with an i2500k. I didn't realize just how long in the tooth Sandybridge had become until playing around with the i6600k. I've got it OC'd to a cool and stable 4.5GHz and it absolutely shreds through everything. GPU-wise I had an 870 in the old...

Star Wars has been selling mountains of crap to children since 1977.

This line is not in the movie. Clearly not true? They could have been receiving plenty of other transmissions. We don't know that Vader knew he was literally chasing the Death Star plans. He was cutting his was through armed rebels who were shooting at him. And? This was clearly a...

It's time for Russia, China and North Korea to stop fucking around and just destroy the Internet once and for all.

No one wants to hear about your Monday night.

This thread is now worse than the prequels.

I don't know that I've ever seen so many varying opinions from so many people regarding the same topic all being wrong. Impressive.

Yes, and just as important to remember is that the movie experience in general was vastly different then. Almost no one had a VCR or cable TV. The Web didn't exist. Watching a movie like Star Wars was truly an event. You'd be immersed in the memory of the experience for months afterwards. I...

I liked Rogue One a lot, but also don't understand how any sensible person could rank it above the OT. Even above Jedi is a stretch. ANH and ESB are perfect Star Wars films. RotJ is 3/4s a great Star Wars film. This was an admirable and enjoyable effort, but it's not in the same category. I'm...

Don't even joke about this horseshit. If they simply have to remake something, have at it with the prequels. For all of their issues, the one thing about them that truly ticks me off happens when I throw on ANH and watch the hulking terror that is Darth Vader emerge through the smoke and...

The prequels have a handful of good specific moments, but they are surrounded by two+ hours of horseshit. Mace vs the Emperor was terrible, btw.

Not only alive, but still looking the same 40 years later.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I enjoyed it more than TFA, which I also liked. I could have done with better character development and some more careful editing (it was pretty evident where they cut down/excised scenes). I also would have liked it more if they didn't go full close-up on...

Oh, for fuck's sake. This kind of thing has become just as irritating as the SJWs themselves. It's Star Wars not starring Jar Jar and whiney Anakin. You'll be watching.

Is there some sort of overriding problem with Whil Wheaton that I'm not aware of that has conferred him with douche status? I'm not trying to be sarcastic...I just know him from Stand By Me, Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory and I've read a couple of his blog posts including this one that seemed...

Premier reactions aren't the best indicator of quality by any stretch, but all of the feedback I've seen so far has been extremely positive. At least we can be reasonably confident that it doesn't suck.

I've been impatiently waiting for a good old fashioned Star Wars space battle since 1983. I am excited now. It better not be some quick 2 minute fucking thing to make more time available for a bunch of stilted dialog.

Potter 3 was the only legit great one. The rest had their moments I guess.

It's been years since I've read them, but I remember the whole non-verbal casting thing is explained pretty comprehensively in the books. I don't think the movies touched on it much if at all, though, and they skipped over a host of other things that are satisfactorily detailed in the books. In...

Man, that is a terrible analogy, but if we must relate it to sports: what you're expecting to happen with Rick at this point is like expecting the Browns to win the Superbowl this year.

Their mattresses.

Weren't you the one jumping for joy the last time we saw Rick when Negan completely broke him and left him to drown in a quivering lake of his own tears? And now that he's had his balls kicked in and launched out the back of his skull, you're irritated because he's taking more than five minutes...

Given all of the reporting and discussion about the historic lack of confidence coming from voters of both candidates during the run up to Election Day, just how (un)satisfied are you, the Trump voter, to know that Donald J. Trump will become the next president of The United States of America?

Cans are only better for the convenience factor. Bottled tastes much better. An IPA in a can is an abomination.

Is there any point in grabbing the special edition to replace a graphically modded PC version? I've heard that it's barely better than the vanilla game, and worse if you've already modded with high res textures and such. It's a free download for me, but obviously I'll steer clear if there...

Oh, come on. X1, X2, First Class, and DoFP were all decent to good. The second Wolverine movie was surprisingly good (the director's cut at least, I never saw the regular version). I am still waiting for Apocalypse to come to Netflix or something. I don't feel like paying for that one.
