Graphics aren't everything either. Personally for me, gameplay and even storytelling is more important.

Dont know, where that argument always comes from. Every 4-5 years I buy myself good gaming PCs, never payed more then 1000 EUR with it.

The 2000-3000 EUR PCs you are talking about are usually about posing. Super tiny shell with LEDs-lightening, causing you to need specialised fluid devices, so the graphic card dont melt in the tiny shell, additional normally extra silent for cool purposes...Super-duper yet released graphiccard...offering you 5% more power then the one that was released 3 months before, by costing the triple amount.

If you do it as I do, by not wasting any money on gimmicks or outer appearance, allowing you to have a 0815 lamor cooling device that is normal loud (I play with headphone, so dont mind the cooler-sound.), waiting until a new graphic card generation is released, so that the previous one, suddenly gets price reduced by 50% because of merchants emptying their stocks...and only focusing on what is important for gaming...never had issues that way.

Its just like buying a Mercedes or an Porsche. Yop, the Porsche offers you a bit more and allows you posing as well for the triple price. But the Mercedes actually does its job absolutely fine, without giving you any cause for mourning.

2000-3000-what? I recall I paid something like $60 for the witcher 1 - the 2 even for lower price.

I don't buy nor I play a lot of games, I only pick like 2 or 3 best titles of the year, I buy sometimes titles who had been like a year old after they get a huge price drop. FPS games mean nothing to me, I only like epic RPGS (Witcher, Fallout 3, Skyrim) or Action Adventure(Zelda, Darksiders II) and sometimes strategy like Starcraft and Total War.

Also I love epic oldies: www.gog.com for like $6 to $10 the game, last game I got was Arcanum, excellent oldie.

And I love a died genre: The space sim combat, I am currently only playing the excellent fanmade game Wing Commander Saga - don't be fooled because it's fanmade, it has a full voice acting, ok story, acceptable good graphics and effects, and over 50 missions ;p.

A Titan alone will cost you around £800, if you want a 4k or 1440p resolution eyefinity, it will cost more than that.

It depends if you are aiming for graphics like this.

But if you plan on being a CryEngine developer, you need a decent high end build.

lol sorry, misread your previous post - yes, a high end PC costs hell, I agree. I have an i7 with a good ATI graphics card, it runs Skyrim smoothly with very sharp graphics.

And sometimes I go emulation, for instance the Wii's Zeldas (all of them) look better on the Dolphin emulator (and fast) than on my Wii. and they can be configured nicely with the xbox controller.

Not sure about Crysis.

Anything before 2008 looks bad.

Crysis and GTA IV look good to an extent using mods, Far Cry also used CryEngine.

Heck, even my modded version of GTA IV looks better than any console and MMO game, that's 5 years old.

You're playing the wrong MMO's, then. Some of them are thoroughly enjoyable and have excellent stories. I'm really looking forward to Elder Scrolls Online, personally. Old school RPG's are good, I agree.

The top video might not play if you are under 18 so try this.

I've tried once WOW at some friend and cousins, not very appealing to me and that's supposed to be the best MMORPG ever made.

All mmos sounded to me like run run run, kill kill kill, level up up up.....

I am a female gamer but for some reason nobody likes conversing about the games i enjoy.

I love platformer and simulation games. I was very excited, maybe too much so when i discovered i could take out iconic landmarks by beaching my ships in ship simulator.

I actually work in Gamestop and basically every guy tries to talk to me about one of the top 50 games. it is always very boring and i yes try to presell stuff and act like the games are so good ect but laughing on the inside at all the gaming sheep. Basically, i will look at people and know what crap they will buy and try to convince me is the best game ever.

You look like you play way too many games in one go. Where do you get all that time?

It's basically Facebook or OKCupid in gaming form, if you think about it, it has a similar system with similar people, so it's understandable that it gets some hate.

I also hate MMOs because it's time consuming, pointless addictive and also ties you to certain schedules , like your team would schedule an attack against some rival camp or whatever and you have to be there on certain hour.....f**k that. lol I play when I want to play.

Btw, I've heard Grim Fandango is similar to Little Big Adventure 1/2: My favorite childhood games. I really should try it.

I don't know about those two games you mention, but Grim Fandango is a point n click game involving reading conversations, picking up the right tools, using the right tools to do the job, and in some cases, thinking outside the box.

If you're into puzzle and mind games, then I recommend it. Plus, Manny Calavera is the best character there ever is.

Sometimes a game takes me a year to finish while it can be done for a month or so. Starcraft 2 for example took me like a year, I finished it after the release of its expansion, while my coworkers beat it in 2 weeks after its release. It's not that I am ret*d but I played like 1 mission in 2 weeks.

Yes, I like puzzle things.

Do you have a steam account, Boo?
