I was debating on upgrading my Radeon 7850 What do you guys think would be a decent upgrade to it, for about 150$ I know thats not much, but I Dell tossed a rewards card my way for being a decent customer, and thats all I have to work with. I need to stay AMD also I have a radeon 7850 with 4gb on it.
  4. There is, but I'm not going to call them out.
  5. LOLZ I remember posting a few times how this was nothing more than a way to play shitty phone games on your tv. Now I see it at Target in the clearance section regularly. Sidenote: I bought that Atari Collection that you see there. That shit is amazing!

    Far Cry 4

    See, this right here is what they should have done Hell, the "towers" in Watch dogs make more sense, although some of the wiring is just dumb.
  11. I have hopes for Destiny, but it is going to be quite some time before I drop 60$ on a game again. Back to my waiting patiently for games to hit the 20-30$ price point. I also don't see myself getting Advanced Warfare or Hardline anytime soon. I certainly don't see myself ever getting the DLC for this game

    Far Cry 4

    The bases were all I enjoyed by the time I got to the second island. There was a mod on PC that allowed the bases to revert back to enemy control after a point in time. Which honestly makes sense to me, and I wish they had had it in the PS3 version. The towers were just fucking dumb, and about halfway though became completely unintuitive. Just because the mechanic works in Ass Creed, doesn't mean they need to incorporate it into every other fucking game. Not everyone in the world is a Spider monkey goddamnit Also, Vaas.... man, when his part of the story is over, it felt like the game was over, and honestly it should have been, not even the crazy german could make up for the bullshit turn the story took. Also, don't get me started on the horrible decision making, or writing for all the sub-characters
  13. So I spent all last night attempting to do Fixer Contracts, and I just can't ever seem to finish them either on time or with a car that isn't utterly destroyed. I have a hard time believing that this game started its life as a driving game. (Maybe I am disconnected from racing games, IDK) I did find out that motorcycles handle perfectly though. There is a dirt bike, one for off road and one for on road, that you can order up from jordi, and OMG they are perfect. Also, I went on a rampage at one point with thugs near a safe house. I let them keep calling in backup and eventually the police showed up. I noticed that the police "Rubberband" to always stay in range of you UNLESS you use hacking to stop them. It doesn't actually make sense, I led them on a chase around the entire city for about 20 minutes, and regardless of how far away I got, if I didn't hit a hack, they would immediately get in front of me or to the side. I had read this was an issue, but never tested it. Also! You can actually plan your rampages around this sort of thing. Over in Brandon Docks there is a section with loads of street lights, Blockers, and even a bridge. You can get to 4-5 of those meter things for wanted level. Pop up a few blockers, and a street light, and BAM they give up, regardless of the range. Its really weird. I dont' know though, the game has fun spots, I enjoy attacking the hideouts, but the game is quickly falling apart on me. The hype train has pretty much completely derailed.

    Far Cry 4

    I own FC3, Watch Dogs, and a ton of Ass Creed games..... Far Cry 4 won't be able to bring anything new to the series for me. Also, the chick at the end that you get to bang............ yea not impressive at all. Watching her die was far more entertaining
  15. Its shitty cause I got yelled at for taking it. I will try to get some better pic's next time I talk to him, but Security honestly yelled at me for taking this one crappy shot. The Owner here is cool though, he is one of the guys that got me playing MW2 so many years ago. I used to play with him and his son all the time
  16. WANT!! Also, got a pic of that raptor truck if you want to see it. Thing is huge
  17. Personally I would avoid Borderlands 2 because its just a horrible game that loves gimmicks and wants to punch you in the face repeatedly with them, over and over and over
  18. BWAHAHAHAHAH No joke!
  19. Okay, I couldn't remember the exact date I have a huge list of games I want, they had better NOT go on sale on thursday. I won't have cash till friday Whats on everyones list? My main one is the STALKER trilogy
  20. Holy fuck, this might be the most annoying FPS game ever. I am just about done with the game and I am fucking stuck in some stupid assed freefall section where you have to skydive through buildings and shit. No explanation as to why shit is collapsing all over the place, no explanation on why you can't keep the air bike you started with. Nope just fucking falling and if anything even comes near you, its insta-death There is literally no fucking reason for this to be in the game. The precursor to this was a stupid fucking "Hold the line" style mission where enemies with shields and turrets just fucking zerg rush you. Oddly enough the game keeps track of your deaths for each section, I think I was at 88 total for Chapter 7 (By comparison I have cleared some chapters with zero deaths), all happened in the span of like 3 hours last night. I don't think I have EVER been this close to just breaking a game disc and not caring at all. Seriously fuck this game. To go from challenging levels with a need for stealth and shadow work to stupid fucking zerg fests makes no sense
  21. Are you sure? I went to play last night after the USvGhana game was over and the servers were down. I jumped on Twitter and they said they had pulled the plug
  22. http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/06/16/battlefield-hardline-may-worsen-eas-problems-with-the-series/ At least initially, EA’s presentation of Battlefield: Hardline during their press conference was one of the cooler moments of E3. They had an elaborate (albeit scripted) multiplayer battle sequence where coordinated teams of cops and robbers tried to take each other out, and it seemed like it could be a new twist on a shooter that has been stuck in full military mode for a while now. But after the presentation, EA made the unusual announcement that surprise, Battlefield: Hardline was ready to play already, and players were invited to take part in a beta ahead of the game’s fall release. It’s there that the problem with Battlefield: Hardline was revealed, a pervading idea that Hardline feels like what’s essentially DLC or a mod for Battlefield 4, yet EA is charging full price for the experience. Back during the height of the Battlefield 4 meltdown, I speculated that after that, Battlefield 5 would be out of the question any time in the near future, and even if they could release a rushed version, I wasn’t sure the series has the identity to survive in the constantly evolving shooter landscape. I posited that the best way forward for Battlefield would be to return to its beloved Bad Company series, releasing a new game in that storyline which would appease longtime fans and give them something they’ve been craving for years. And that’s something EA has seemed open to. But Hardline is not that, nor is it even pretending to be a leap all the way to a fully-fledged sequel to Battlefield 4. It’s reusing many, many elements from Battlefield 4 (and 3), adding in new vehicles and character models to go with the cops and robbers theme. It may be fun as a new slew of modes for the series, but as a full-priced game? It’s a hard sell. I’ve talked to a few folks who genuinely believed that Hardline was simply Battlefield 4 DLC, and were shocked to learn it was meant to be completely new installment in the series. With DICE hard at work on Star Wars: Battlefront, it’s clear they may not have the necessary resources to devote to the Battlefield franchise, which is why things are being turned over to Digital Illusions/Visceral here. It would explain the lack of polish (and the lack of a working game) when Battlefield 4 was released, and says why Hardline appears to be almost no different than either 3 or 4 in meaningful ways other than the general theme, with a few additions like new gadgets and an in-match cash shop. Still, I’m not sure the philosophy of “it’s better to release something than nothing,” is wise for EA here at this point given the series in question. The Battlefield brand was badly damaged by the BF4 fiasco of last year. Releasing a new game in the series that most fans view as overpriced DLC or a mod that they’re being charged full price for is not really the proper strategy to win back their trust. And that’s just assuming the launch goes smoothly, and rushed production this time doesn’t result in any more catastrophic issues as with BF4. Battlefield has fallen into the trap of thinking it needs to be a yearly release like Call of Duty, no matter what that means. While Activision now has three developers pumping out new COD games every three years, EA just can’t match that, and it shows. While something like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare does look like a fairly substantial step forward for the series, BF4 and now BF: Hardline aren’t really fooling anyone. This is not meant to spark some “COD is better than BF” fanboy war. Battlefield is a great series and does many things better than Call of Duty. But comparing the yearly releases of each series, Battlefield is now the one that increasingly feels like a rushed, tweaked clone of the last version while COD is making a bit more of an effort to branch out. I really do think the best thing for Battlefield is for them to take a full year or two off, and come back with either a very revamped BF5, or a new Bad Company game. Hardline comes off like a very obvious stopgap, and I don’t think it’s going to be what fans want to see after the issues with Battlefield 4. We’ll have to see come fall.
