The only problem I kinda had with ME3s ending is that it just felt like all the choices you did from the first game right up to that point didn't mean much when all we get is a simple, "'pick the ending you really want'" type deal.

I would have much liked it if the game worked out which ending to go with on it's own based on everything I had done from the very start and not just gave me the option, which again, made it feel like everything I did didn't actually matter.

Having said that the game itself was fine, gameplay was what I expected going in.

As for the list, haters gonna hate but I think Halo 4 should've been higher at least.

You are just upset that they have the same key for jump and cover :rofl: :p

That's only a small part of it. I feel like the more features they added to the games the more uninteresting they got and they took away everything that made ME1 the great game that it is. I only managed to make it a few hours into ME3 before I couldn't take it anymore. Maybe one day when all the dlc is released and it's "done" I'll give it another chance.

Righto.

How did you get to be a vet with posts like these? Seriously? I disagree with the praise ME3 gets and you take it personal?

I never take it personal. Doesn't mean I cant have fun.

Oh, right. So you're trolling. Which as a vet you'd understand is against the rules of the forums.

Why me deconstructing your opinion while having fun equals as trolling?

Okay, comeon guys. Lets focus on the games, not on personal likings and dislikings

Not to worry. I blocked him.

I think GW2 out of all the games on the list fits in at spot #1. Mostly because I've been waiting about 5 years to play it and it lived up to everything I wanted it to be and more. And out of all the games on the list besides Torchlight 2 it's the only one I've actually played. :rofl:

Though I am interested in xcom. I've heard it deserves the praise it gets from friends. No time for it though, in between playing BF3 and GW2.

Guild Wars 2 - top game of the 2012? Seriously Time?!

While i did not like GW2 as much as i liked the first one (i consider the first game one of the best game i ever played) what actually makes all the other sequels better ?

Because save for Dishonored big sequels is prety much the only thing we got this year.

My personal favority this year is XCOM.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
