Just wondering how the i5 760 holds up against the likes of the FX6300, Athlon 860k, and Skylake Pentiums/ i3s and if would be worth picking up one used on the cheap as an alternative for gaming?

 Ive seen a few videos around of it seemingly running deus ex: MD and a few other games alright with a mid tier GPU, but there doesn't seem to be many side to side benchmarks around.    

Okay so last I heard there was a curfew set in Paris after the attacks, does anyone know if that's still in place? If so what times is it in effect and when will it end? Thanks 

I'm not really looking forward to it to be honest. I'm not sure I can take an entire protagonists worth of Bethesda grade voice acting. 

Eh I really doubt that this will change much, bearing in mind that both Dark Souls 1 and 2 are also the equivalent of Teens in the UK and those games are far more grim than any of the halos. 

This is less uncanny valley and more uncanny grand canyon. 

Huh that's odd. I honestly though the Black Ops 2 match making was near perfect, at least for something not using dedicated servers  

Well frankly, I do take the master race thing seriously.

It's horrible to build a pc and then see pc masterace console peasants everywhere.

Youtube comments are full of bellends just constantly giving console users shit.

Then that word gets thrown about, peasant. So I see pc users giving console users some serious shit and then I see this users calling his friend the same name...

Yeah Ill give you that, those who genuinely believe the whole PC master race thing are cancerous twats. They're also ignorant as fuck seeing as the term "PC master race" started as a youtuber taking the piss out of pc users false sense of superiority.     

Being a bellend to his mate by calling him a peasant.

The story started off twatty thanks to the title. 

Eh that really just seems to be you taking the PC master race thing to seriously. I just don't see how using a tongue in cheek phase makes him a bellend at all.  

watch the animations and game speed be tied to the FPS like deadrising 3 and that one NFS game

Oh god please no.

You see, but you don't know that until you read on.

The title alone is just having a dig at consoles. Open your eyes and see what's in front of you.

Title should be helped a friend who wanted to get into pc gaming. This way you know, a good story is coming.

But no, the title is converted a peasant.

Like I've said in previous posts, what he done was actually a good thing, the way he went about telling the story was twatty.

He's even going as far as being a bellend to his mate, purely because he was a console gamer...this is what I am pointing out.

There's no need for it.

I suppose racism will be allowed next?

How was his story twatty, and how was he being a bellend to his mate? By calling him a peasant? This whole affair seems to stem from taking everything literally, of course everything is going to be offensive when you ignore the context. The title was blatantly intended to be humorous and should be taken as such, just because someone doesn't like/understand the joke doesn't automatically make the teller a dick.

As much as I hate to say it, it was just banter.

And no genuine racism/homophobia/whatever shouldn't be allowed, however when used in certain contexts its fine. I don't get but-hurt when a mate takes the piss out of my sexuality by calling me a fag, I know that he's just messing around and that's fine. That sort of thing is acceptable.   

It's a similar story here, PC Master race is a bloody joke, a meme. If you honestly take it seriously (as in consoles/console players are genuinely inferior) then you're a bit of a twat. But that clearly not what the OP meant.

Again as much as I hate using the word, it was just banter.         

^^^^ this.

It makes the pc community look like complete bell ends.

to answer you question, no I don't take everything so seriously, but the whole peasant thins is just horrid frankly. And let me tell you something, when I was a console gamer no one I knew gave to flying fucks about pc, meanwhile all pc gamers cared about was getting the best rig so they could call console gamers peasant...mugs.

Then let them look like bell ends if they enjoy the humour then whatever. No need to shit on someone for helping out a friend who was clearly interested in PC gaming from the start.  

Your title says it all I'm afraid.

"I converted a peasant.."

You want gratitude for converting a console gamer to pc, a friend of yours who you deemed a "peasant" (some friend you are) and the fact is you didn't even convert him...it was his own choice.

Edit, it's a cool thing what you done for him as it was his own choice and you helped him get there, but to say you converted a peasant and that  peasant being your own friend is just....Meh

Bloody hell I've never seen someone take a tongue in cheek saying so seriously, are you like this with everything?

@OP Thats pretty cool, you'll have to show him some of the retro classics at some point   

G2A has it going for 38% if you don't mind having it on Rockstar Social instead  

get a zenfone 2 its only 8% slower

Yeah I've been looking at those, I keep hearing lots of divided opinions though

I would just pay the extra amount and get the 64GB model, unless you like 16GB of storage and the white backing.

Below

Even before the price drop, the OnePlus One was still a better choice then the Zenfone 2. Spend the extra money and get the 64GB, the sandstone texture is awesome and with only about 11-12GB to use after OS and formatting, having no MicroSD expansion warrants the 4x larger storage capacity onboard.

Ehhh there are other things I'd rather spend the difference on, besides I've been getting by just fine with a 8GB Iphone 4 with a decent amount of space to spare for a few years now. I cant say I really care about the back either seeing as I'll probably have it in a case or vinyl wrapped anyways.     

ive never actually seen one ever only the 64gb version was popular I think

Yea. They produce more of the 64GB due to it being the more popular of the two models. Not sure when it will be restocked

Huh well that sucks, thanks anyway. 

I bought the 16GB version a too weeks ago and I am very happy (except that i would prefer a dual sim version) 

The 64GB version costs as much as the 16GB version a few weeks ago so why not buy this? 

Its only due to the recent price drop down to £179 that Im able to even  consider the 1+1, before I was looking at stuff like the Zenfone ZE550ML  

I've looked around on their forums a little but I've not found anything helpful, so I was just wondering if anyone here knows anything.   

Yeah CS:GO ranking system makes no sense.

There was a time when I went on a 4 losing streak consistently placing around the middle of the scoreboard while my friend had won like 5 in a row placing either at the top or near the top of the score board. We went to play a game together and managed to win with me in the centre of the score board again with like 1 MVP medal while he was at the top with multiple MVP medals but lo and behold I somehow got promoted in to Gold nova master while he was still sitting in Nova 3.

I really don't get it, he has more play time and is a better player than me in literally every way yet I normally end up getting ranked up first for some reason. Its getting really annoying especially seeing as there's no way I'm good enough to be up against Nova masters.       

Its looks pretty nice but compared to the old one it looks kinda amateur, kinda like something a first year college student would make.

The way it moves is kinda terrifying, like a insect or something. 

Not really an elegant solution...

 

 

 

Perhaps. I was thinking maybe it could come off my scratching at it. Maybe I'll give this a shot. I'm a little nervous about using sandpaper though, cause I don't want to leave scratches all over the mouse mat.

Derp, sorry I was thinking of the K70 not the mouse mat, I'm not sure how well sandpaper would work on fabric. I guess the idea still applies though, just scrub at it with something and then cover up any imperfections with a marker or fabric dye.  

I cant really tell from the images but you might be able to sand off the embossed bit and paint over it, although what type of paint you would need I don't know. Some kind of plastic paint maybe? 

To be fair on CS:GO the PC community is universally aids when it comes to FPS and MOBAs

I dont agree with the Battlefield 4 re-skin idea simply because we have seen no gameplay and I also dont think they would do that. Until we see gameplay the only conclusion we can justifiably make is that we are getting a new star wars game that is supposedly a Battlefront sequel thing.

 

The car analogy is really good and I totally agree. I am bummed out that they are not including a campaign, galactic conquest, instant action, ect. I am really going to miss playing those modes with my bro and my friends.However, as scaled down as the game will be, I still believe they are making a battlefront title and are trying to do a good job of it. Maybe that is not critical enough considering BF2, but I have waited a long time for a game like this and I am not going to let the nay sayers kill the game before we even have gmaeplay.

 

I realize everything they have discussed and shown so far has been somewhat a disappointment and seemingly lacking in total content, there is always DLC. Whether it is free or paid or it is a game update that delivers features to everyone, they are obviously planning on expanding the game. So we shall have to see i guess. 

Aye, it will probably be pretty good, most Dice games are. Just not what people originally expected. 

One could argue that those are not, technically, reasons to not buy the game. (unless you have some kind of insatiable desire to play space battles in the new game and if they arent included you will explode)  Thats a chart cross examining feature sets in the game. While yes, the new Battlefront does not include a lot of the great things that made Battlefront 2 such a great game, that does not mean that Battlefront will be bad.

 

Nobody except the devs have played the game and the public has not even seen gameplay. We have ZERO idea of what the game will be like. Maybe it will blow everyone's socks off and receive 10/10 reviews despite not having those things. (although I doubt it)

 

My point is that I think everybody needs to slow the heck down and stop screaming about how there are no space battles, campaign, instant action, ect. I think it is really unfortunate that those things aren't included in the game, but, until we have played the game when its released, then we will have 'reasons' not to buy the game. It is possible for the game to be good without them. Look at Republic Commando (I know it is a diff style of game) not really any of those features, (space battles, vehicle combat, etc) but it was still one of the best games of all time. IMHO .

 

I don't have anything against you or the chart, it is really interesting to see the differences. However, Im pretty sure that they have said that they are taking a different approach to the game from BF2 and maybe thats a good thing. Anyways, maybe some of the features lacking from battlefront 2 will be added via DLC (free hopefully).

 

Whatever..... this is just my thoughts on the whole situation right now.

I think the problem with this whole situation is that Battlefront 3 is shaping up to just be a re-skin of Battlefield 4 with a few tweaks here and there, which on its own will probably be a decent enough game (Hell it would probably make a excellent Republic Commando game). However that's not what people wanted. They wanted a new Battlefront game with all the features that made Battlefront 1+2 great and Battlefront 3 simply isn't that. You can understand peoples disappointment, Its like being told that you've won a Ferrari only when it shows up at your drive it's actually a Golf GTI. We should technically be grateful that we got a new car at all (Or a new Star Wars game in this case) Buuut it's not the one we thought we where getting.       

Not to mention that at the moment there seems to be a worrying lack of content in the main game even by 2015 standards.
