  1. What is up with smaller new cases not having 5.25" drive bays?

    Why is it a big deal if a few cases do not have 5.25" bays? You still have access to the rest of the cases; it will be years until the 5.25" is phased out entirely. If we were talking about the last 5.25" cases disappearing then I could see the cause for concern but product diversity is a very...

    This is my attitude. I enjoy the teamwork behind grouping when it is organized and I know the people but will rarely join a group I do not know. That stuff becomes a chore really quickly if you do not have any rapport with your group members. How long do we wait for that guy who just...

    I agree with the sentiment that the group finder is underwhelming because it is not cross server. Most of the benefit of this will be on higher population servers where it is already easy to find groups for things if you advertise for them in the fleet. This will make things a little easier...
  4. BF3: Confessions of a hacker...

    Hacking exists and is certainly a real problem in some instances, but it is also often overblown. In my experience the vast majority (95%+) of people who are called hackers in chat are simply better at the game than the person making the accusation. Consider that half of the posters in this...

    Normal operations require a working knowledge of your spec but not a lot in the way of gear. Entry level Tionese/Centurion will help if your group is struggling with the mechanics of some of the fights, but we've had alts in my guild go through with level 48-49 blues with no problem. Hardmode...
  6. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    I agree that all eight classes are fun and they may not be perfectly balanced but it is very close. The only advanced class that I do not particularly like is the Guardian/Juggernaut but that is largely due to my own preferences about play style. The Sentinel/Marauder and Gunslinger/Sniper...
  7. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    I would say that each advanced class has a different difficulty level but that playing them really well requires a lot of skill across roles. When I play the vanguard mirror there are just as many things to keep track of: - Controlling the objective - Interrupting and killing my primary...

    So if you don't have a problem with a single healer, and there are two other DPS in your group (who can each also kill a single healer), what prevents you from killing the three healers at the side? The answer is teamwork. The healers have it easy because most of them will just be looking...

    If you are a power gamer then you might want to temper your expectations that you are going to be able to play any new game constantly forever. If your guild can run nightmare EV/KP in two hours then you are in the upper 0.01% and no western developer will cater to you instead of the...
  10. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    Battlemaster is a handy title to show if you are a healer because it does cause newer players to leave you alone, especially if you do not look particularly vulnerable. Lately I've been going with no title though for any of my alts, just displaying the legacy surname. Ben, I have doubts...

    The important thing here is that you are rationally taking this in stride and not completely overreacting to it with a staggering amount of hyperbole.
  12. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    It gets a lot better at level 30 when you pick up Kolto Shell, then better again at level 40 when you get Emergency Scan. At that point it is my favorite healer for Voidstar and Alderaan and does exceptionally well keeping a tank alive if they are guarding you in turn. At 50 it does take more...
  13. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    Forcing people to wait inside for two minutes (and then potentially cancelling it) would be a terrible idea. If you want to fix the issue, fix the incentives. A lockout timer for leaving a warzone or rejecting the queue gives players a stronger incentive to only queue when they will be...
  14. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    It's very common to think that your second (or third) character is extremely easy when leveling. You usually have better gear for it, know how to completely all of the non-story quests already, and have a lot more experience in the flashpoints and warzones. Before you jump all over how easy...
  15. This makes my blood boil (ME3 Rant)

    I doubt it is as essential as you suggest. Bioware is aware that many people are going to be judging this title without the DLC and it would be a very strange move on Bioware's part to provide these consumers and reviewers with an unsatisfying story. What I was really addressing though was...

    I love shared storage, and with the ship holds I think this would be the best implementation of storage in any MMO. Especially if we get guild banks via ship holds at some point.
  17. This makes my blood boil (ME3 Rant)

    Dragon Age had a ton of DLC. Does anybody here feel that it was a poor value? The two objections to zero day DLC are that it is raises the price of the finished product if you buy it, or lowers the amount of the content in the game if you don't buy it. So? Both of these are relative changes...
  18. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    I disagree. You have to learn to pay attention to the resolve bar, but my Powertech (Vanguard mirror) can stun those sorcs in fire (70%), grapple them down off the ramp after they blow their escape, and any target I leap to gets stunned if their resolve bar isn't full. My medicine operative is...
  19. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    50 warzones are pretty terrible, while 10-49 warzones are some of the better match PvP I've played in any MMO. It's a good blend of skill and strategy but at the same time the better players are not invincible either. I've been playing a handful of different alts while my OP sits at 50 unused...
  20. PC Gamer top 100 games list

    Well perhaps it is the readers who have gotten younger, and the updated list is intended to reflect that. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of readers on this forum were significantly older than the current PC gamer subscribers, because many of the earlier subscribers bailed on them in late 90's...
  21. [massively] Analysts "concerned" about swtor, EA's stock falls

    I like most of your list, but #6 and #11 are unlikely. For every one MMO player you see at endgame who is grouping, there are a dozen at level 20 who prefer to be soloing their way across things. The viability of soloing is a major draw to any MMO more so than it is a detraction, and even if...
  22. [massively] Analysts "concerned" about swtor, EA's stock falls

    I liked Rift a lot too. Having four roles to swap between really let you focus on a single character and still get most of the benefits of playing alts. A lot of people complain about differences between imperials and republic when they find out about some of the minor differences that are...
  23. [massively] Analysts "concerned" about swtor, EA's stock falls

    No more so than my opinion on farmville bothers the people who play that. Of course I don't spend my time posting in farmville threads about why I think the game is a failure either, and if I did i would look silly because it is clearly successful despite my personal lack of interest. I can...
  24. [massively] Analysts "concerned" about swtor, EA's stock falls

    Based on your posts I wouldn't recommend TOR for you, but no game is going to appeal to everybody. I think this is especially true of a game like TOR that tries to include casual gamers in a popular IP and puts an emphasis on story that some people do not want in a MMO in the first place. At...
  25. [massively] Analysts "concerned" about swtor, EA's stock falls

    TOR is an awesome multiplayer version of KOTOR3 for those of us who don't have an irrational view of monthly fees. The people who are quitting because they are "bored at 50" have already likely sunk 200+ hours into the game and I doubt they have played multiple story lines or on both sides...
  26. Zero Punctuation's Top 5/Worst 5 of 2011

    It does help if you have read his other reviews. Yahtzee has always liked sandbox games so that is why Infamous 2 is on the list even though I would put it fourth or fifth on my list of PS3 games this year at best.
  27. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    I was expecting the negativity. Some people approached the game as an MMO only and in comparison to a game like Rift or WoW there are plenty of shortcomings. The UI isn't very customizeable, there's no combat log, no macro abilities, no dual spec, etc. I'm honestly surprised that anybody who...
  28. How much is your Steam account worth?

    Found 241 Games with a value of $3424.60 USD. Nearly all of that is from sales or bundles, so the true cost was probably more like $350. They should combine this site with a steam deal tracker and also give an estimate of what the cheapest possible cost for your games is.
  29. [daily mail] SWTOR accused of promoting "slaves"

    Not sure why respondents are attributing the OP's views to ignorance when they should be considering malice instead. It's a lot easier for activists to target niche causes then to deal with mainstream issues, which is why lobbying groups for tiny interests can be so successful. Imagine a...
  30. Need game suggestions for g/f

    I have a similar situation and play with a casual group that is two guys/two girls. Minecraft is the obvious place to start but it depends on how much of it you can tolerate. My group wanted to play on the no monster setting and after a session of doing nothing but building a tree house I was...
  31. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    You can definitely play a light side imperial agent. A couple of your companions later on are light side and a lot of your dialogue options fall under the "trying to protect your country from those deranged sith nutjobs who are mucking everything up" umbrella. On the other hand, your starter...
  32. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    Agreed Columb. I really didn't know which option to take and had to think about it, then after I picked (Defender of the Empire) I wanted to see what would have happened if I had picked a different path and sided with the bad guy. Great Bioware story telling. My problem with Vector is that he...
  33. **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    NBG really caters to the middle 80% of MMO gamers. The hardcore 10% prefer straight roll because it is the fairest system. They are willing to sell/trade BoE items and to trust fellow hardcore players not to roll on BoP stuff they can't use. The new 10% find the distinction between greed and...
  34. According to torrentfreak, CD projekt is going to go RIAA on pirates

    Stop the presses, some random person on the internet "doesn't support" intellectual property.
  35. Why do you guys bother with PC gaming?

    It's hard to blame console makers for vying over exclusives because they are very effective. I was tempted to get a Wii solely by SMG2 and Skyward Sword. I bought a PS3 due to the great exclusives - uncharted, demon souls, red dead redemption, resistance, valkyria chronicles, etc. I also...
  36. Getting tired of Skyrim already. Characters are wooden, quest fatigue.

    I had a decent amount of fun on a mage through about level 18 but started getting bored as well with both the questing and the combat. I'll come back to it in a couple of weeks and try out a thief build, but open world single player games just aren't that fun for me unless the gameplay is good...
  37. Mass Effect 2 is the best sequel ever

    I also liked ME2 more than ME1. The production values were better all around but more importantly the game play was better. ME1 had a great story and RPG elements but it felt like the combat was an annoyance that got in the way, especially with all of the identical planets and clearing those...
  38. Civilization 5 is deeply relaxing

    If you want to win with a single uber unit there are plenty of ways that can be done. You can go Aztec for healing every time your unit kills another unit (upgraded jaguar path), pick Inca for the x2 health per turn, station a unit with the medic perk next to it, etc. You can also do none...
  39. Civilization 5 is deeply relaxing

    I like Civ 5 and think that people tend to confuse complexity with depth. Some of the most strategically challenging games (Go, Checkers, Chess) have relatively simple rule sets. As far as difficulty goes they did redo the scales and now Prince is the medium setting with no bonuses for either...
  40. 2011 Steam Autumn Sale: DEAD :(

    $10 portal 2, $8 Magicka collection, $5 ME2, $4 Orcs, and $1 Chthulu struck me as the really good deals. I'd like to see any of the following games get a big price cut: SINS: Trinity Fable 3 Lord of the Rings: War in the North Dead Island Deus Ex: HR Rage Warhammer: Space Marine
