[QUOTE="Creative"]If you want entry-level PC, consider getting refurbished PC. There are plenty of deals for pretty crazy models (including gaming PCs). A lot of deals have quality PCs that will be cheaper than building your own. morrowindnic

Pre-built PCs suck.

This is the wrong forum to ask these questions and no, pre-builts do not suck. They can be just as powerful as any custom built machine. The difference is usually the cost of such machines in which DIY can save you upwards for 1000s of dollars.

[QUOTE="Sniping_Crowbar"]i was getting ready to own you, but i see what you did theres. Anyway Starcraft is a perfect example of a game that relies on its gameplay and presentation merits, and overall polish not michael bay explosions and Eminem music to promote itself as a great game. However i do like me some Eminem.millerlight89
Beautiful. Starcraft and Eminem = Heaven

Trust me, if that is heaven then I'm becoming a Scientologist....

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"]Well...I dont I dont mind companies trying to make their games more real....but not when real becomes annoying and takes out the fun

It is the exact beef I had with GTA4 as well. I enjoyed the driving aspect of VC and SA but when I first loaded up GTA4 and proceeded to run into an indestructible lamp post I got a sick feeling. Yes, there are cars that handle better but who cares if the other 80% are a chore to drive?

sigh, danieldust, you truly are a fanatic fanboy. I've played all those games, and you want to know how I felt after playing world in conflict, ground control, dow 2? It was fresh air. Gone was the dated formula that plagued CnC 3 . This was what pc gaming was all about. Going the distance, evolving, taking great strides and breathing new life into genre. But later on, READING so many "pc gaming is dying topics",and now watching people overhyping a remake of an old game.

I am saddened. You still fail to answer my question and all you do is repeat the same old, "but starcraft did this and that". Yet failing to provide proof of what makes an RTS an Rts. Just because people still play an old game, doesn't make it the best. Hell, I still play Clive barker's undying and I'm willing to acknowledge the out dated nature of the game.

May I ask you something? Why must every game change because another did so? I absolutely loved WiC, DoW 2, Homeworld, and other games that don't fit the RTS template exactly but I don't expect games like CnC and SC who built their fanbase based on the template RTS to all of a sudden change. Look at BFBC2, MW2, and upcoming MoH. They all have very similar online systems, the action is fast paced and sporadic, and in the end it all starts to feel the same. Would you want every RTS and RTT to become exact clones of each other?

According to most people on the internet if a game was loved doesn't get a sequel for years then gets one it will be good. Seems like that for anything.Vexx88
... No, just no. I waited long and hard for a true sequel to Homeworld and when Homeworld 2 was released it was "ok". Same goes for all of the CnC games as of late, Fallout 3, and other sequels recently. Nostalgia may play in part some some people enjoying this game but if I play a sequel and it doesn't live up to the last one or is reasonably comparable then I don't let nostalgia get in the way. Also, I loved Halo on the Xbox. Halo 2 and 3 can go bite me for being utter crap.....

[QUOTE="Cdscottie"][QUOTE="Whiteblade999"]

Something that would last me 100 hours at least.

Quantity does not equal quality. You can easily make a game last 100 hours by adding repetitive tasks and useless side quests but will it be worth it? Probably not.

you mean like WoW?

when you think of it, many people have payed well over $100 for it...

The majority of the MMO market has this type of gameplay in one form or another.

A CPU running at 75 Celsius is hitting it's heat thresh hold. Best thing to do is to re-apply the thermal grease on it, ensure the fan is working correctly (IE. No clogged with dust), and make sure you don't have it overclocked to kingdom come.

[QUOTE="GummiRaccoon"]

[QUOTE="Resistance_Kid"]

You're another one of those people who doesn't read all the damn posts oin a thread. Several times in the thread I stated that I don' want SC2 to fail, but it was just what I thought would happen. And here you are again, one more of those people who skip to the last page and comment on whatever they saw first.

Resistance_Kid

Everyone is aware that that is now your official stance, however, it is pretty clear that you want it to fail. EI no one is believing you that you dont want it to fail but will giggle when it does. Yes you want it to fail, but realizing that that stance turned everyone on you, you changed your mind.

Sometimes I am amazed by the people who walk this earth...

Who's not believing that I don't want it to fail? You? In that case I really don't care. I want SC2 to be good because I actually want to enjoy the game. Yet again I have to say this though, with all this hype, all these people ready to kill for the game, I think it will be a failure.

I would say more, but I have had 4 Moderations yesterday :D

Can you please inform us exactly why you think it will fail? Hype can be a bad thing yes but the games that fail after much hype is due to underlining factors. Look at Spore as example. Hyped as hell but it's failure wasn't due to the hype. It's failure was attributed to the game being shallow, the gameplay being mediocre, and the only interesting portion of the game being the creature creator, which had no impact on the gameplay what so ever.
