Hah, I play games on PC sometimes, but me having an xbox and liking the simple fact that I don't have to upgrade it every 6 months to play the newest games makes me a button masher? I think NOT. I press with finesse mofo.

Well, at least I know I still don't have to upgrade my system yet. "Built to midrange gaming specs after the release of the first-run PS3" is still a good standard for being able to run modern games. I'd be sad, but I really don't want to fork over the cash to build a new rig yet.

I can't read that gibberish, but it actually looks like my machine might be able to run it. Which is frankly surprising.

Like all games coming out now, I pass all except the processor. Not that I was planning on getting this ginormous turd.

Pretty light? Wut? My ATI x1600 can't run it :( .

I hate my gaming hobby for this. Tech bought now is obsolete in just a few years. And it's always the goddamn videocard. Never do they push the audiocard to it's max or whatever. I match everything on that list but the videocard. Sigh.

Well I guess DNF won't come to me then this year :p I think I can survive the wait tho.
The average user's speakers are garbage, and the above average user's speakers are fairly decent. The ones with powerful X-Fi audio with EAX5.0, X-Ram (which is useless in the face of standard memory) and 5.1 or higher system are an extreme minority. I'd take a sound card over chip any day though...

I'm getting it for PS3, but it's cool to know I can run it on my PC anyway! :p

It was a god awful card maybe they put it in as a in joke for developers. Hay 4 years from now we could say the same thing about the gtx 480.

Everything looks good, but damn, 10gb?

Wonder what's taking up that space right there.
Well, think of it this way. Dragon Age 2 was only 7GB, and it had a ton of recycled environments as a result. This clocks in at 10GB, and given that it is an FPS, this either means its a longer game, or that the missions are going to be packed with shit to throw at people.

Only crazy enthusiast rebuild every six months which I can safely say I person that enjoys doing that but I enjoy tweeking the latest hardware, overclocking and the like its a separate part of the hobby one side is the gaming the other is building an optimizing. I can totally understand that majority of people dont want this but I find it great fun but really most pc gamers dont do this.

There is something fascinating about how immediately confrontational an article becomes when it starts with name calling the console folks...

This is what we get for making it a console port instead of a PC exclusive like it should have been.

*cry*
No, this is what we get for 3D Realms leaving most of the work unfinished and then Gearbox trying to fix everything.

"Series 3" vs "Series 4" isn't going to make a huge different, but the 8 in 3850 signifies a gaming series card, while the 2 in 4250 signifies general purpose; ie: high definition movies.

It's like Celeron 3.2 GHz VS Pentium 2.6 GHz.
Your example here is very laughable, especially without context of respective era or other specs from each chip.

Don't ever make this comparison again.

Steam: Start Steam. Wait 2 minutes for it to load because the interface is laggy as fuck (dont even bother telling me its my PC because you are wrong).
It is your PC. It takes me less than a minute, starting from clicking on the shortcut.

Finally in, get a pop up trying to sell me a game. Go too my game library, start the game. Wait for Steam to start the game. Steam forces an update. Wait for the game too update. Game loads, play. If I had a bad internet connection I would have too play around with a very bitchy offline mode too.
So it's a problem with Steam that the game updates? Wouldn't it actually be good that it is updating the game? And what does it have to do with Steam? If you don't leave it running in the background, then it can't get updates. You can also toggle the setting to not automatically update the game.

dont want too have.

Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2, Last Remnant, almost City of Heroes, probably World of Warcraft, Portal 2... and of course the record goes to Star Wars Force Unleashed. 25 GB.

HD 2600?

You mean my beefy HD 6970 Overclocked is OVERKILL?
Good god Duke I am ashamed, I figured I'd need at least two hydron collidors hooked to my rig before we'd get a decent FPS out of you!

So the computer I used to play Duke3D.exe won't run DNF? Man, I even made a new boot floppy with slimmed-down autoexec.bat and config.sys and everything in preparation! :-(

In case you were wondering:
486 DX-2 50MHz processor
4 MB Ram
350 MB HD
