This has never been a thing throughout the history of the series. I don't really see a reason for them to start now.

Oh, and in addition to socket type you need to make sure the processor is compatible with your chipset (also a property of the motherboard, Intel tends to do ZX7 where X is the generation — right now they are on z97) It can be a real pain in the ass.

Yeah, it was a normal RPG about playing an MMORPG... which is convoluted enough before you get into the actual plot of the game which is borderline incomprehensible and split up between two multi-part game series, an anime series, and supplemental DVDs.

Fair enough, just keep in mind that not just any core i5 will go into just any motherboard that uses a core i3 processor. You have to make sure it uses the same socket type, which generally means within the same generation, possibly one up or down depending on whether you entered on a tick or a tock cycle.

Should we really be encouraging NVidia for trying to fracture gaming visuals in order to create an incentive for people to favor NVidia hardware for something that has nothing to do with the quality of their hardware?

Well, to be fair, there are still too many. When I download a game on Steam, having to log into Games for Windows (aw, it's dead), Uplay, Origin, etc. on top of that is a freakin' travesty.

Well, I suppose I shouldn't have expected your account name to be anything less than accurate.

Plus technically Twisted Treeline is the same mode of gameplay... if a little less so these days with the oddball objectives.

One Horse (starts with H), three lego storm troopers (LEGO starts with L). The horse looks like about half of its life has been beaten out of it.

You know, if this means I'll be able to play the successor to the 3DS's games on my Wii U successor, cool. I don't have much of a valid reason for owning a handheld anyway because I almost never use them on the go. Right now I only buy handhelds because I want to play games that are exclusively on them.

You know, for 99% of games I would agree, but with the Souls series the threat of invasion can make the game very different. The game feels a lot lonelier when you don't have the odd bonfire kindling noises and blood smears everywhere. Sometimes that's a good thing. The blood smears in particular can make just about…

You are a little late to the party. I'm pretty sure online play for Dark Souls is either shutting down soon or already shut down.

Mario and Zelda were however the first games of their breed. They weren't for instance... built on top of another engine to a very similar game like Wolfenstein was.

You don't need to know every detail about a game before getting excited about it. However, this is an odd case where we know fundamentally nothing about the game's objectives and almost nothing about the ways in which you interact with the worlds that they are describing as being so phenomenally diverse. This isn't a…

Well, I think that's a matter of opinion. They've said some things that are certainly interesting, mostly in the form of stating that their worlds are varied and unique and they have shown at least a vague premise of the game. It's just that from my perspective, there isn't anything there that really guarantees a fun…

Wolfenstein wasn't even close to the first 3D game released (Battlezone preceded it by about 12 years). It wasn't even the first 3D first person shooter to include textured walls programmed by John Carmack. It was just the first to use Carmack's raycasting engine. It was remarkably popular though, so I guess that…

Seriously, why is everyone listing games instead of being bewildered by 'Tropical Dong'.

At the end of the day, it's still just a game that we know next to nothing about that made a lot of promises without delivering much in the way of demonstration. I'm every bit as skeptical as ever.

Who would have thought that a company that makes games that become memetic for how high end of a machine you need to run them would ever run into financial problems.
