Battlefield 1 will be the Game of the Year!!! The multiplayer videos from this past Sunday are simply amazing. I'm stupid-excited for this one.

As much enthusiasm and anticipation there is for this game, Dice better get it right.

New Zelda game looks like it's going the route of an open-world RPG, a la The Witcher, Fable, etc...

Interesting.

The only bad part about any EA release are the servers. They never seem to hold the load. Other than that I can't see this not being the best version yet. I've been watching a ton of multiplayer gameplay videos on youtube from the EA event last Sunday and the game looks simply amazing. I've been a die-hard COD fan for years but the last two versions have turned me against the franchise. I hate all of the futuristic "halo-hopping" crap that is now in the game and the next one looks no better (other than the COD 4 remake).

Thanks for posting that. Very interesting.

You're welcome. It's nice to see some of the gameplay videos, but I am still really on the fence about the new Battlefield. I'd really like that to change because I loved BF4

Steam Summer Sale
Welcome to Steam

I'm really tempted to pick up Skyrim. I've played it on the 360 but I can get it pretty cheap on steam and I can upgrade to the new remastered version when it comes out. Also if any of you are waiting for Fallout 4 it's on sale for $30.

SYstem shock 2 recently brought me all the way back into gaming.

All I want is an nVidia GTX 1080. Why will they not take my money? Take my dang money!

The AIB versions worth buying are so far out of stock ATM that its depressing.

Anyone watching ELeague on TBS?

Every Friday!

Still grinding trying to get out of MG2.

Gaming gets a little harder when you're 48 and wearing tri-focals, lol.

That and I'm in a Master's Degree program that eats up much of my time.

Someone make my decision for me. $450 GTX 1070 now or $650 GTX 1080 someday when they are available.

ETA: I want a toy

Trying to play anything at 4k/144hz?

1070 still blows everything else out of the water. 1080 is just for bragging... nothing needs it. Even my 970 is handling everything at max.

Well, if no one needs it. Might as well ban it. Eh?

I have a 970 and an i7 4770k. I play on a 1440p monitor but would like to upgrade to a g-sync 1440p/144hz in the near future. Its not that I NEED a 1080 per se, but the 970 is definitely dragging its feet at 1440p and I'd like to be able to push 144hz for at least a couple of years...

And bragging rights.

Our founding father's didn't anticipate modern games to run at more than 30 frames per second.

They couldn't even have imagined the 7 billion transistors each of these cards have! Why would you need that many transistors except to render down entire rows of pixels?

 

[MilliJac]

But seriously, help me

 

[MilliJac]

Well, never mind. Ordered a 1070 from Newegg. May SLI someday, but a 1070 should be plenty for the moment.
