    No, you're an unpleasable whiner because your entire reaction to this subject has been "this game sucks" and when every reason you give for that gets shot down by someone else, and you just make up a new one

    What it ultimately boils down to is you like GTA4's multiplayer (why on Earth, I have no idea, that game is fucking terrible) and you don't see the point in getting a multiplayer game that has conceptual similarities. Even though there's a lot of differences between a MMORPG and playing multiplayer GTA4, you don't see that difference beyond "Well I'm playing with other people over the internet, aren't I?"

    You bring up playing with your friends as if those are the only people you'd want to play with anyway, which to me says quite clearly that MMORPGs in general aren't for you. Which is fine, but then you just hate on MMORPGs entirely and APB isn't for you regardless of anything it does gameplay wise.

    What, honestly, could this game have done to impress you? I posit nothing, because you are predisposed to hating a game that is similar enough to a game you already like so much so that you see no point in playing it.

    Christ, if I had your attitude I would've never played Saint's Row and its sequel, and would've missed out on one of the best games to come out last year.

    Having a sniveling, close-minded attitude towards games because they might be similar in some respects to games you already like is an easy way to miss out on fantastic games, man.

    Games are to be enjoyed. They are not involved in some kind of titanic battle for your heart and mind, where all games of a similar genre or style must be compared to declare a victor that you want to spend your time on.

    Jesus, it reminds me of Star Wars nerds who hate on Star Trek. You can like more than one thing in the same genre.
    Guess what! I own GTA4, Saints Row, and Crackdown! I enjoy playing all three! Online even! With strangers when people I know aren't on XBL/PSN! I'm not predisposed to hating anything. I've seen the material they've released for the game, read what's been said about it, and it doesn't look like anything new or worth paying for. In fact, it looks like it's a combination of everything people say they dislike about current gen games, yet I get torn to pieces for saying I don't like it and explaining why. I haven't changed any stance, I'm not jumping point to point. Everything it does is done or has been done already, aside from its fancy character creation tool.

    That was the early 70's. In the 80's he was almost always in a suit, except for when he was doing films.

    yeah well anyway my point stands

    if you gotta look like a freaky weirdo all the time regardless of whether you are performing or not

    i think that perhaps there's something amiss with your brain

    It's really not that difficult.

    The difficult part is ensuring you buy components that will slot together.

    Beyond that, you just need to common sense to figure out why two parts aren't fitting together, instead of applying force until they do.

    Okay, I figure it'll be a fun experience to build one for myself. :) I'm not really scared of breaking anything, I'll be gentle.

    This is my list of parts so far if anyone's interested.

    I basically decided on the i5 processor, then looked for a motherboard which had the correct socket. And I noticed that it also required DDR3 memory - whatever that is.

    Basically just undecided about what video card and what RAM to buy, that's why there are two of each category there.

    Honk check out the build thread in Moe's. It has a list of computer parts for different prices and lowlylowlycook is great at helping people who are illiterate. Just hope you aren't curse like me were every time I build a computer I get at least 2 bad parts no matter where I order from so I get to play the rma game.

    I've had some help from him actually! :)

    He possesses vast amounts of knowledge on these things. I want this computer to be good for quite a while so he basically told me to hold on for a while, because ATI's new video card was picking up steam and Nvidia were supposed to release some info on their new line soon. So video card prices will probably drop for the ones in the market right now, and that would allow me to get a nice card for cheap.

    I really hope I only get working parts though, feel no desire to play detective to find out which part is wrong.
