CPU people out there... anyone have any experience with the Nvidia GTX 960 Graphics Card? I have a Dell XPS 8500 and the system is great but it's 4 years old now and the graphics card is holding back the system (Radeon 7570HD). I read in a few forums that the GTX 960 will work as the biggest issue with Dell's is the power supply. Currently the system has a 460 watt supply. Any thoughts? I am willing to pay a $200-300 price tag as that's a heck of a lot cheaper than a new cpu. Any thoughts? Or any other recommended cards to get me through a couple more years?
I have a GTX 960. Like you did though, your power supply will definitely hold you back. I would recommend at least 600 watt to be safe.
You cab run your system through a power supply calculator and it will tell you how many watts you need to be sure.

And this us exactly why, evem though I plan on focusing almost exclusively on PS4 when buying new games this year, I will not even consider for a second ever selling or trading in my One, because of EA Access.Quote:

Not sure, but Square Enix has put the Deus Ex franchise on hold (cancelled?) in order to focus on these Marvel games.Quote:

I have to think a MUA type of game will be in the works. At the same time, I wonder how the new Spiderman game will be. Looks pretty.
Thanks!Quote:

Fallout Shelter coming to Windows 10 and Xbox One on the 7th. Will offer play anywhere between the two.
Another RPG called GreedFall is coming out. 17th century with fantasy mix. Hard to say exactly what this is about but the trailer looked cool.

Yeah, sad to hear South Park was delayed yet again, but it does help out with spending over the next two months. I was looking at a very expensive couple months here, with Sniper Elite 4, Halo Wars 2, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, MLB The Show 17 and Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition all releasing between February 14th and April 7th.
I'm already considering waiting on Halo Wars 2 for a couple months just to spread out the cost, so also having South Park moved back in the year helps as well as it's one less $60 purchase I'll have in the coming weeks.
As for Call of Duty, I really hope they go back to World War II or something like the Korean or Vietnam Wars. Hell, I could even accept something from the period of the Gulf War, go storming into Baghdad on tanks or something. Battlefield already has World War I covered and I don't see a chance in hell Call of Duty could possibly Battlefield 1 in a WWI time period game.
Something like a civil war era game that occasionally pops up in future COD game discussions I don't see working. I doubt anyone but the hardest of the hard core would enjoy a game where you have to sit there reloading a musket after every shot (though I would probably enjoy it because I'm a civil war history nut). Clearly they recognize that people aren't feeling the space setting and even getting tired of the future settings. If they want to truly get back to their roots, then their only options are World War II, Korea, Vietnam or, at the very most recent tolerable, Gulf War settings.
Now, in regards to recent, current or future warfare, one thing I do hope to see is a remastered Modern Warfare 2. Modern Warfare is as fun as I remembered it, but please, dead god, give me Modern Warfare 2! That game owned my life the entirety of late 2009 through 2010.
MW2 was the last Call of Duty game that I actually played on a regular basis, multiple nights a week, every single week, the entire year until the next Call of Duty the following November. Ever since MW2, while I have played and even enjoyed some of the Call of Duties since, I by and large have given up on multiplayer on them by spring and just play private matches every now and then when I get an occasional FPS itch the remainder of the year. MW2 was FUN. I enjoyed the hell out of that game, I played the hell out of that game. I honestly don't remember hating a single map on that game, I enjoyed playing on all of the maps, which I can't say the same for any COD since, as I usually hate at least 3 or 4 maps in each game.
So I hope to god we're gonna hear of a MW2 Remastered over the next year or two. Hell, those bastards can't remaster COD4 and completely ignore MW2, which is an extremely close 2nd behind COD4 as being among the best of the COD games.
I will be getting a Nintendo Switch down the line because the new Zelda is going to be flat out amazing. That said, Nintendo revealed it's season pass for $20 and it has caused a bit of a stink. I am not complaining about more content for a game that is filled with tons of it. What pisses me off is that you have to buy the season pass to unlock "Hard" mode. Game difficulty should never be hidden behind a paywall, EVER! Unlocking difficulties by beating a game on normal mode, etc is fine. This is not.
Crap move Nintendo.
The FIFA series has been known for some of the craziest player glitches known to man, especially the man on man action but I think this one might be the best. The clapping at the end was the icing on the cake.

No matchmaking multiplayer or achievements, which has not changed and is the logical choice since there is no concept approval and anyone can make a game. They did add leaderboards which I do not think were available on the 360 version.Quote:
Microsoft already allows developers and studios to self-publish games on Xbox One and Windows 10 with Xbox Live through their ID@Xbox program. Microsoft is today announcing the new Xbox Live Creators Program. The Xbox Live Creators Program allows developers to quickly publish their game to Xbox One and Windows 10, with a simplified certification process and no concept approval required. Similar to the ID@Xbox program developers, Xbox Live Creators Program developers can integrate Xbox Live social experiences such as sign-in, presence, leaderboards, and more into their games.

College Lacrosse (The game got it's start here)
I remember the College Lacrosse game. I downloaded and played it on either the first or second edition, when it was still EXTREMELY rough around the edges. But it was still fun and served as a great jump start to making it into a bigger and better game.

Capcom bundles up its Disney Afternoon NES classics for PS4, Xbox One and PC
This is awesome, loved Duck Tales and Chip N Dale for NES.
This is going to be so great. They are adding everything I thought was missing from the first.

Love Super Mega Baseball - definitely going to pick it up again.
BTW - been sinking a TON of time into 3on3 Freestyle. Its a Free to Play game of street 3 on 3 basketball. Game is really fun (its not all out NBA Jam but not all sim either) but it does crash sometimes and needs some stability support.

Could be a multi-platform game but there is hardly any info about it. Developer shows to be Sabre Interactive. They worked on some Halo stuff and sold printers in Scranton, PA. ;)Quote:

Hey guys, need some opinions. For those who have played both, if you had to choose between Horizon Zero Dawn and Mass Effect: Andromeda, which would you choose?
That's what I'm currently debating.
For Mass Effect, how important is it that I play the previous games? Worst case, I have Mass Effect 1-3 on my Xbox One via a combination of past Games with Golds and EA Access, so I could blitz through 1-3 and then hit Andromeda.

You need no prior knowledge of the original trilogy to play ME:Andromeda. You'll just miss out on some Easter Eggs which you can look up on YouTube if you want.Quote:

Everyone loves Horizon but me I guess. It's not a shooter so the base combat will be a lot different from ME. Horizon has tons of RPG elements that are poorly explained imo and is more stealth based. Horizon is hard imo and I just don't find the combat that great. If you like to wander around, explore, hunt animals and machines it's cool. The story started strong so I would like to see where it goes. I haven't played ME yet.
That's the one thing I can say is absolutely right about MEA. The combat. For all the fuss about facial animations, shooting things is really fun and satisfying.Quote:

On the other hand, I've heard overwhelmingly positive things about Horizon and that was already one my radar since it first showed up at E3.
If anything, I can check out streams of both and actually test drive MEA for 10 hours thanks to EA Access.

If I had a PS4 Horizon would be a must. That said you can save a ton of money on games by switching to...

Still have yet to even do the final boss fight. Every day I am finding new enemies and shrines.
I'm clearly in the minority on Horizon. It gets better reviews overall to the initial Mass Effect prior to patches. I may simply be impatient with all the rpg elements and wish it was less stealth based. Maybe as I get more weapons the combat will improve.
I should add that I still love For Honor. One of the most fun games I've played in awhile and my first real online game. I've spent over 50 hours in actual combat and I'd rather be playing that game than Horizon. I'm really only playing Horizon because I bought it and I'm trying to like it but I always go back to For Honor.
Yeah, I'm interested in both Andromeda and Horizon, so it would be pretty much a matter of which one to get first. After watching a couple live streams last night on PS4 and YouTube, as well as thoughts on here, I think I'll go ahead with Horizon first and look at picking up Andromeda later this month or maybe early May after I've whittled my playlist down a little bit.
Even though I'm already in the middle of a couple of stealth oriented games, I love me some RPGs, always have been a big RPG fan since my first introduction to the Final Fantasy series a long 20 years ago when I got surprised with a PS1 for Christmas.
Thanks for the opinions and input everyone!
