The loading times in the Destiny Beta are a joke

& the melee attacks need some serious tuning
Whatever that one-hit-kill target-locking ground smash thing is needs to be nerfed. It can even kill you if you're hardly even near it... Ridiculous

Meanwhile you have to stab someone in the face twice to kill them

I've heard that SWTOR is great as a single player game (ie just following the main 'character' storyline) but a terrible MMO. I've never had any interest in playing it though, and I liked KOTOR. For most PC games these days, as long as you have a reasonably built one in the last few years - you can play basically anything at decent graphics settings.

Requirements for PC games have stalled because developers have been trying to make everything cross platform so they have to keep things down to a level where PS3/X360 will play at - so that's meant that PC gamers haven't had a real impetus to have to upgrade in a long while. Even PS4/XBone aren't forcing any real upgrades yet. A few PC exclusive games in the making (ie Star Citizen) may provide that if you want to play at ultra settings, but other than that... it's been a rather boring time for PC builders.

So then, what's still considered a good video card?

My GeForce GTX 285 seems to struggle badly even playing WoW. I even had to start under-clocking the darn thing after the Cata expansion and graphic update thing Blizz did a few years back. :(

It's only accurate if after scoring a goal they have a cut scene of the clapping guy.

Now that would be hilarious.

depends on what resolution, setting, and fps you want. gtx 285 is mid tier today

Maint hing for me is max fps (60). Right now I can get that on minimal settings...but I'll probably have to upgrade for the next expansion this fall. blech

My family in Texas is literally breeding a football player.

An average 8 year old boy weighs around 50-60lbs and is 4' tall.

He is 4'11 (edit) and 108lbs.

Imagine the grocery bills that kid is gonna rack up when he hits his teens. :amazed:

Unblock us is amazing. I got the app to go with it too, if I want to watch a movie I search in the app, chances are one country's netflix has it, press a button and my ps3 is set to that country and the movie is ready to go. So much better than trying to find a random DNS on the internet every two weeks.

We talking the animated series?

Blue Mountain State is hilarious.

The MMO sucks from what ive heard. Its free to play if you want to try it.

Definitely give it a try. I played the first two games many, many times and I've enoying The Old Republic.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I really hope they bring back KOTOR 3 for next gen. They've been pressured by everyone and they're still ****ing stalling.

Yeah, it's a whole different world down there. Friday night is high school football, Saturday is full day of tailgating and college ball, and Sunday is tailgating and NFL. It's crazy.

They live and breathe football down there. Even girls. Making snacks and preparing the days and getting everything ready for the tailgating all 3 days.

High-school revolves around baseball and so does college. If you are on the team, you are a god in that school.

Rude. Not hi, right back at you. :rant:

If you guys ever get a chance, check out the Blue Gryphon in Gatineau. AMAZING stock of old video games, comics, board games and stuff. N64, Game Boy, Sega Genesis, Atari 2600, PS1, NES/SNES, and quite a few more recent games too. Consoles and stuff. Really freaking cool. Went down yesterday and picked up a whole bunch of nostalgia-inducing games.
