    Good call on the RAM... where did you download it from? If you have the capability for M2, then yes. SSD cheap enough these days I would look for something larger, though. Even two 128gb were getting annoying having to jocky game installs around. Damn Fall Out 4 is like 60 itself. SSD is...

    Hey, if Game God McQuaid once said the same thing, then it's bound to be smart enough to repeat! We'll get our soft launch. And it'll be hilarious. Because instead of releasing the game in logical, well managed stages with feature-complete modules that will all tie together as they're...

    Or they could have taken their shitload of funding and produced a solid game in the scope they originally promised and then continued to grow the game with expansion-level content with the rest of the ton of funding they're getting? Or, you're right, they could have stolen all the money and...

    Civ5 was boring. Not a bad game, just boring. Had some good new tech/development/interface/graphical stuff, though. Hopefully Civ6 will be 10% 5 and 90% 4, but the direction they're going doesn't bode well as the demo for the space expansion was just as boring (and actually just prompted me...

    This sounds like a copy/paste from the days of early Vanguard development. A self-assured genius with a huge budget in charge of his own business and development, with a huge vision, and developing for the future? What could possibly go wrong?

    First, I don't think dinking around in tech demos is exactly what people were told they'd be getting last year? Second, what you described in your definitive wisdom on how games are made is exactly what I described they should have done. You just seem to think making sure 'other stuff' is...

    Make the base game based on the funds required and donated to make the base game. As funds continued to rise, start putting more money into the base technology to enable future expansion, but not directly content and features, which would push back the release date some but not sending it into...

    Playing Steam games through Nvidia gamestream has almost always worked flawlessly even when a game or steam needed updated. Not so much with uplay, which always seems to need to update/check something, and every time it does it breaks shit and I have to remote-access my PC to close windows and...

    Does it have to be Alienware? Never been a fan of their styling, nor the fact you're paying for name recognition. I wouldn't say they're bad, even with Dell arguably reducing quality. Just that other companies make gaming laptops as well. Broadening your search opens up more options and more...

    If you have a decent router and your TV can access the network you may have streaming options built in. Will just have to make a media folder on your computer and share it with the network. Or plenty of routers these days have usb ports where you can plug in a removable hard drive creating...

    As an owner of the F8500 I don't disagree, but I'd still like him to answer the question. edit: answered. If 51 isn't big enough, the cheaper 55 OLED that are [relatively] affordable won't feel like much of a size increase. The higher quality LCD/LED 60inch and above are still going to...

    If you don't notice the difference or don't care, then just buy an LED. Keep in mind that doesn't mean there isn't a difference, though. And if you're judging a picture quality in a lit showroom you're being misled. If there's a magnolia or similar place in your area that has dark demo rooms...

    Yes. Not similar, though, but typically better. I thought I've seen the 55inch LG OLED around $1500 a few times +/- fiddling with promotions, rebates, etc. I wouldn't really call it crazy expensive if you're someone who cares about picture quality. Price could be lower with better...

    And it took how long before those 75% of channels broadcast in 1080? Not even bothering to nitpick the "p" and that you're not actually getting "full" HD which of course is a marketing gimmick that's been around for years to up-sell consumers long before even half-assed 1080 was readily...

    So-called "full" 1080p isn't even fully implemented and mainstream yet. Most cable companies still make you specify and pay more for HD service. Some networks are still using 720 and seem happy with it. Streaming; shitty, shitty streaming. I guess if you're the type of person that thinks...

    You're all missing the point. If you care--or want to seem like you care--about picture quality, you're going to get an OLED. And with the tech still relatively young, you're going to get a 1080 knowing something better will be out by the time 4k content is mainstream and worthwhile because...

    Imo, the only decision right now is between 1080 OLED or the cheapest "LED" in the size you want of a brand you personally trust. Neither curved or 4k.

    There was definitely more of a push for having a 'main' than most games since. I remember a few guilds early on that refused to let you have alts guilded because they didn't want you to divide your time. Silly shit in retrospect, but something I kinda liked. As opposed to now when you don't...
