kangaxx — Tue, 31 May 2011 10:58:31 +0800

after I founding out the hard way that C2D 2.6 & GF GTX275 is grandpa tech, I've decided to use my tax refund to build a new rig.

. Core i5 2500
. GIGABYTE H61M-USB
. LEADTEK GTX560 TI 1GB D5 256BIT
. SILVERSTONE PSU 600w (for future SLi?)

As for mobo brand/built what should i be looking for?
whats the major diff between a rm300 and rm900 mobo?

for gfx gard should i go for ASUS for ease of replacement or something else?

thanks in advance.

Dragon Age 2

kangaxx — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 13:10:10 +0800

So its out.

Heres my top 4 reasons why this game is better than DA:O and you should buy it, like now.

1. Performance
DA:O ran like major poop on the consoles. DA2 is amazingly smooth. Granted character/environmental textures are on the lower side, but still, goddamnit the smoother framerate makes the game sooo much fun to play.

2. Voiced Hawke
Silent protagonist is gone. Now Hawke is fully voiced and you can always choose the 'funny' remark for some Commander Shepard-esque lol moments.

3. Combat
Omg. The combat. THE COMBAT. Whoeever @ Bioware decided to 'dumb down' the combat is A GENIUS. Gone are the days waiting for long skill cooldowns, high stamina cost, long stamina regen etc

Everything happens soooo fast now and so brutal.

Eg:
Heavy Blow in DA:O hits 1 target for X damge.
in DA2 its hits THREE targets and completely turns anybody party into body parts! And 20 seconds cooldown! TWENTY!

4. There is no "Finish game on Hard/Nightmare" achivement.
There is no "Finish game on Hard/Nightmare" achivement!
There is no "Finish game on Hard/Nightmare" achivement!!
There is no "Finish game on Hard/Nightmare" achivement!!!

Easy 1k!
Currently with DLC is around 1125k!
C'mon!
