@Chief_Death I have everything on extreme and haven't had a hiccup yet. I have an i5 Ivy Bridge cpu, 8MB of RAM, Radeon 7870, SSD with a 1080 display.

No wonder it seems dull.. they follow the sparkling path throughout the game.. hit 'Z' and think for yourself. :)

I've been playing it since open beta and personally think 6.0 is a harsh score. I've been playing it much longer than Guild Wars 2 and this is a free game. You can play the game without paying one cent and accomplish anything someone with money can. I can be effective in any dungeon and do pretty well in PvP and have not invested any cash yet.. but I will soon since I have been playing the game for a while.

Vista will definately win out. Any gamer will buy Vista and DX10 cards by the end of the year. Now is not the time to get Vista particularly because no DX10 games are out. When those games start coming out towards the end of the year and when you will want to play them, then I hope Santa gets you Vista + DX10 hardware. Personally I am planning to upgrade my computer (P2.8c, Radeon 9800XT, etc) because it's time. I will get Vista along with new dual core processor and a DX10 card. But I am going to wait a month or so for prices to drop a bit and for drivers to be tweaked. When fall hits and DX10 games come out I will be ready.
