For me, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and This War of Mine were some of the most addicting.

Mandatory tutorial levels at the beginning of any game. I seriously believe that some developers think that we are lacking in the gaming common sense area. If it is optional or skippable, then that doesn't bother me. But when I am stuck with the Barney into, that is another story.

I've written a thesis concerning this topic, covering both sides of the fence. But in the end, let's face it; sex, drugs and violence sells...and it sells well.

A combination of Fallout: New Vegas Project Brazil, Murdered Soul Suspect and I'm still playing Far Cry 4.

To each their own for everything; personally, I went with an AMD 8 core processor for my gaming/normal rig and went with dual Xeons for my workhorse. Even though I am a definately an Intel fan...sometimes their prices urk me. I am also more of a fan of the CoolerMaster HAF case due to the high airflow possibilities (I like the ability to have a larger fan size at lower RPMs to help cut down on fan noise). But honestly, looking at your build list...everything looks pretty good.

[edit] depending on what you get into (in the future) you can research Tesla cards. Although they are still expensive, if you get a lot out of them.

ArmA covers most what I enjoy about an FPS as far as features go. As the genre covers many different sub-genres, I wwould like to see one thing more touched upon: environmental interaction. It has been slightly done, but I'm not talking about pre-scripted buildings being blown apart, but moreso every element in the world to be physically accurate to its real world couterpart. In weight, penetration resistance, affinities and vulnerabilities and to what degrees they will withstand punishment. And I mean EVERYTHING. It's always frustrated me immensely when playing FPSes that when indoors I'm relatively safe, even if the walls are made of bamboo. FPSes would rise to another level if you really had to take into consideration everything around you as you would in real life.

Of course, this is coming from someone who enjoys the tense nature and lethality of the ArmA games so I'm sure many would hate to see such a thing in their Battlefield 4. But IMO, if you want a real battlefield that feels alive, give it the parameters to be able to do so. Unfortunately, I don't think computing power is quite up to the task of creating enormous environments where every physical object's actions are dictated by realistic properties and physics. But when that day arrives, FPSes will change drastically in how they're played. MirkoS77
