The Dismemberment-Out: It's been nice knowing you, Jazz

[Slacker Magician]

On a netbook!? :O
I put it on my gf's desktop, and I think she still had issues. On second thought, I might have that be the next game I play. Pier Solar isn't unwinding into any spectacular masterpiece of a story, so I doubt it will be that long of a game.
Im hoping my options open up a little. I have followed what seems to be a straight path with a few story arcs that amounted to nothing. Even FF1 was more open than this. Sure You were restricted by the ridiculous enemy levels, but you could always dream!

LINEARITY .

No need to apologize, I didn't perceive anything you said in such a manner.

Alright then.

I had to keep the settings pretty low, granted, but yes.

I would play more PC games if my hardware were better. But then again, I would have better hardware if it wasn't so expensive.
The only reason I can play the console games that I do is becuase of piracy.

EP~

LINEARITY .

Thats what they call it. I jumped in without any knowledge of the gameplay, but now wish for more. Maybe its becuase of the games I like, but I want Active time battles and a world map.

You guys think thats bad, you should try gaming on my Dell D600 with its Awesome ATi Radeon Mobility 9000 32MB

Is this where I post the obligatory "PC gaming isn't actually as expensive as some people tend to say" comment?

Also, I want to punch the people involved with that Extra Credits show on The Escapist. So much pretentious bullshit. SO, SO MUCH.

I know this wasn't really directed at me, but PC gaming isn't something I've stayed away from due to expense. I just grew up with consoles, and I generally prefer them.

Well im 50/50 on that if your initial investment is a decent amount to get some good gear in it can last ya a while, but that involves some moola for that, after you can be all good for like 3 years maybe 4
If you go low end then your upgrading every few months it feels and ends up your pc is a huge money vacuum

But ya it can be expensive i aint denying it

Depends on your current hardware, if you have a computer made within the last 4 years, you could upgrade to better specs for $250ish, less if you get stuff off eBay.

Im a Hypocrite, I know. IT Major.
I suppose the amount of console games that I want to play outweigh those on PC though. Since I have a decent Tv now, I suppose I'll build myself an awesome PC next.
I just like excuses, you see.

The thing is, you don't necessarily have to get the most high-end machine. Mine isn't one and I've been using it since early 2008. I shake my head every time I see some random smartass posting something about PC gaming forcing you to buy a computer for thousands (!) of bucks, or having to upgrade every few months. That is so not true.

[Gare]

And that wasn't specifically aimed at you, Jazz, so don't worry. Just my overall 2 cents.

The same could be said about me, honestly, except replace console with PC.

It only really gets expensive if you buy every new video card as it comes out, or a shortly after. With an HD5670 and a 2.5ghz quad core, I'll be set for at least a couple of years.

Has Intel released any six core processors yet?
