I haven't played it since the update yesterday, but it was pretty broken. Sunset Overdive is pretty great, though.Desert Fox wrote:I'm thinking about getting an XBONE just for halo.

Rome Total War II still is a piece of crap.

Re: What are you spending your bonus on?
People have been saying that since the 90s or earlier. But good luck finding a $350 PC guaranteed to run all major releases on medium to high settings without hardware upgrades for the better part of the next decadebaal hadad wrote:I remember back in the day games for console actually had to be finished before real ease and that was a good console advantage over PCDesert Fox wrote:I won't get a bonus (or even know if I do) for a while.

Re: What are you spending your bonus on?
I think the issue is that now, it's good luck finding a 350 PC that will run major releases on low settings for the next 4-5 years. X1 and PS4 are pretty underpowered. Still a good deal, but if you have a PC, dropping 3 hundo on a graphics card will prob yeild better results.ymmv wrote:People have been saying that since the 90s or earlier.

Re: What are you spending your bonus on?
I guess that works if you have a nice tower just sitting around, but I haven't owned a desktop in almost a decade, and I don't really know anyone who does anymore. My laptop and phone have me covered for indie games, Dota, and low-req strategy type shit like Civ V, and the console get everything else. I've owned the same Xbox 360 for almost eight years, and here am I playing Dragon Age Inquisition not having paid a dime for hardware upgrades in all that time, unless you count new controllers.Desert Fox wrote:I think the issue is that now, it's good luck finding a 350 PC that will run major releases on low settings for the next 4-5 years.

That said, if I had large qualities of expendable income I'm sure I'd keep a maxed out gaming rig around to gawk at infinite horizon Skyrim enhancement mods and play DA:I without all these weird morphing artifacts and whatnot.

Re: What are you spending your bonus on?
Built a rig for $350 recently that can play most new games on mid specs fairly easy. (G3258/Radeon7870/8gb/SSD) (includes $80 spent on a monitor from CL). Granted, I put a lot of work into finding deals (and had a microcenter nearby; one in NYC)
The mid, use to be high-end, spec CPU parts are at amazing price points when on sale.
One could easily get an amazing rig for $400 during black friday if you looked hard enough. Those deals are always absurd.
The real problem is if you want to spend money anytime soon for a rig that can handle Occulus Rift, you are going to be out, likely, thousands. So I'd just wait or buy a PS4 and hope Morpheus is solid

Pretty solid; I messed around at 4.2ish but haven't bothered trying higher yet. Some of the reviews have it running near 5.0; it's absurd for like $60 now.Desert Fox wrote:

7870 was $130, all about finding those deals. R9 270/290s are running super cheap nowdays and run great
$2500 for the MBP? Last a few years with 750M? Would assume joke but ...everyone in Law School has a mac
