Why did you have 2?

I bought another one during black friday for $199, I couldnt pass up that deal.. It came with 2 games and a controller..

Watching the DotA 2 international. 2.8 million dollar prize pool.
I clearly chose the wrong profession.

That's a pretty good deal.

I used to want to be a professional gamer, I'm not good enough to play against koreans though. They have training camps, coaches, television channels dedicated to gaming... over here we don't have anything like that yet

DotA: Fun as hell to watch, infuriating to play.

Americans and Chinese dominate DotA. It's not the microfest SC is.

Ah, I've never played Dota. Played LoL casually because one of my friends played it, they're pretty similar right?

DotA is much more vicious than LoL. Less survivability, high dependence on team strategy and twitch reflex.

Edit: Also more frustrating. Very small mistakes can lose games almost instantly and the horrible playerbase will make you aware of your mistakes (whether real or perceived) very quickly. Where LoL games end in like 12/11 decisions, DotA games turn into curbstomps very quickly if someone starts to snowball.

I played Last of Us all weekend... excellent excellent excellent game!

I still gotta wait till Tuesday to start playing it, but I have watched 1.5 seasons of Dexter this weekend so far :|

Its a good game bro, I think Im only half way through..

I tell you this, to finish this game, you're gonna have to earn it, you're probably thinking what does that mean? well.. when you start getting into it, you'll see what I mean. I'll just say this, finishing this game, it aint gonna come easy..

Meh I've beat difficult games before, I'm not worried.

Its not too difficult (yet, I havent finished it yet).. but it can be a little frustrating.. you'll see.

Play it on Survivor your first time through and you'll hate the world.

Its pretty tough just on the normal mode..:rofl2:

As much as I would love to try that I do have a bunch of other games to get through in a limited time. I'm actually thinking about waiting to play last of us until I finish watching Dexter. I've got like 2 seasons left and that show is pretty damn addicting.

Dude, are you serious bro? :facepalm:

Maybe you should try watching Dexter. I ended up watching 2 full seasons of it this past weekend. That show is awesome.

I've never seen it.. hmm, I guess I'll have to check it out.

It might be a bit slow in the beginning, but keep watching till at least halfway through season 1 before giving up on it. I stopped watching it after the first 2-3 episodes because it started slow then started watching again after my sisters told me it got better.

Ahhhh dude, its gonna be hard to to catch on to it, Im use to watching Hells Kitchen, MasterChef and all his other shows.

Yeah it's definitely not a cooking show. :p

Just for you dude, Im gonna check it out.. brother, I gotta start saving up for the PS4.

Im on Spring, in The Last of Us.. winter was a pain in the azz.. But it was good.

So I've played Last of Us for a couple hours now and it's just ok IMO. Graphics and story telling are great, but I guess this game just isn't for me. I'm gonna finish it, but probably won't play it again. Not sure what about the game I don't like because I loved all of the Uncharted games. Hopefully it will get better later on.

Dude, it gets better, I liked it.. I just started playing Dead Island: Riptide.. its pretty sweet.

So I pretty much played Last of Us all day today and managed to finish it. It did get better from the when I last posted. I think it may have been a bit overhyped for me, so I was expecting it to be like the best game ever. It was really good, but I liked Uncharted better. I can't wait to see what Naughty Dog can do on the next gen consoles.

I doubt theres gonna be a HUGE difference between the PS3 and PS4, performance wise... yes, graphics...no. I guess we'll see soon enough.

There will be. 4x better processing power and about 15x the graphics power. Look at watchdogs to see how great the game looks on the new console. Then go look at xbox360/ps3 initial release games vs 2013 titles. Youll see a HUGE difference. That same difference will show up on the new consoles for sure.

Also remember that launch titles NEVER really showcase what the hardware can really do. It usually takes a year or two for devs really make use of it.

You do get a glimpse of what they can do with launch titles. It's really not till the end of a console's life cycle where you see what it can really do. There is going to be a huge leap once 4k displays become more mainstream and affordable. Hopefully this will happen during the new gen's life cycle.

ahhhh... i was wrong then. thanks cody.

You're talking about ultra displays right?

Not sure if that's what they're called, but they have like 4x the resolution of 1080p.

Now it's time for me to get back into the Assassin's Creed series before PS4 comes out. Still need to play Brotherhood, Revelations, and AC3. Then there's also GTA V coming in 2 weeks :excited:

I believe thats what they are.. although I have yet to actually have seen one.

Okay, this is kind of cool if you are into this.

On to the 4k topic. I don't know how these consoles are going to do it really. Are they even launching with HDMI 2.0? If not then you will NEVER see 60hz/60fps. Also the consoles at the moment are only pushing full 1080p right now whereas current gen consoles run at a native 720p and have an upscaling processor built in to do "simulated 1080p". I have a feeling that is what we will be seeing but I doubt itll be the 4k aka 3840x2160(its something like that).

Anyways I know for a PC to push 4k it takes at least two high end $400+ gpus. I know that the consoles have the games run direct from the hardware level so there is a huge performance bump there but I just don't see it happening.
