Well. After 5 years of complete hell in a hand basket, I'm going back to console gaming. PC gaming is getting to expensive for me and draining a hole in the budget. Why would I want to spend $ 100 dollars on replacing my graphics card between Nvidia and Intel processors? Why would I want to switch out my GPU all together just to suit the needs of one fucking pc game. I'm up to date when it comes to my software. But I recently tried to play Mass Effect 3 on my pc and apparently my pc doesn't meet the needs of that damn game. That and hardware compatibility issues that can't be solved by Compatibility mode. After my recent census on my budget. I found out that over the past 5 years. I spent $ 3,152 dollars on upgrading my computer between gaming, bigger hard drive, staying up to date with tech, and some other reasons. Now, I like pc gaming for mod ability and more open community's. But I shouldn't be spending that much in over 5 years. There's no reason to do so. I know regular console gaming is something but you're not always allowed to mod games, especially on Xbox. That's the reason why I got booted the first time around. Still though something in me objects to the change. Do you think it makes sense with the way I've spent money on upgrading my pc in exchange for something like a console that has lower capability but isn't a hassle to upgrade? Even with a 400gb hard drive, it's still taking a lot of space.

I don't know why you're constantly upgrading small parts. Hit newegg or something with the mean sales and build a brand new rig. Mine I made for around $ 650 and it'll run WATCH DOGS. Granted only on low and with minor issues, but I haven't tried to fix it yet with compatibility or anything.

Sounds good, but I don't know if it'll be any different than running it on a console.

Haha yeah bro. Right now I'll take a rain check on it. I'm repairing my X51 at the moment and depending on if it'll pull though I can check with ya. If it doesn't then I'll get a new tower and start from the bottom on building. Alienware is perfect for gaming, mine's just been having a lot of issues lately with overheating. When it first broke down I smelled smoke and it caught fire. A lot of damage got done.

It's just not going to end the way you would expect. That EPIC ending to the first one makes this one's ending seem somewhat anti-climatic.

You could relate it to the way the matrix trilogy ended. I'm not saying it isn't worth playing... in fact the part right before the end is so intense that it's hard to believe you could survive! There are VERY POWERFUL enemies attacking from all directions so your in a constant state of panic because the threats are too much to contain within your field of sight in the game.

CC you a noob 😛 I actually like strategy games. RTS and Third person shooters are the best for me. Just bloody love em. Metal Gear is only hard when set to hard mode. Other than that, being sneaky and stealthy is my forte.



Ditto^^ Well..being sneaky and stealthy in MGS is my forte..in real life..not so much 🙂
Sigh...the shitty thing about getting older is there's not enough time to play games! Still have to finish Fallout New Vegas on my PC,.. and it's been an embarrassingly LONG time!
