Ah, thank you all so much for replying, I guess I will wait it out for Intel's new CPUs instead of AMD.

Intel is gonna be releasing the i7 5960x, which happens to be an octa-core priced at $999, while AMD has already released the FX-9590, which is also an octa-core, only with 8 threads instead of 16, but it is priced at $299 and has a whooping 4.7 Ghz (5.0 Ghz OC'd) compared to Intel's 3.0 Ghz (3.3 Ghz OC'd). So what really would be the point of buying Intel when AMD is offering so much more bang for your buck?

Forgive me if I'm being ignorant, as I'm mostly a console gamer.

It's not always about the clock speeds, more efficient tech sometimes far better than raw power and sometimes vice versa.

You can compare now FX8350 vs i5 4670K and while AMD got double the cores, Intel still wins.

^This.

You can already compare a 9590 to a 4770K. Check out the link below.

So if I don't really care about how high price goes and I go with the i7 5960x, will I be getting more value than the FX-9590 for my money?

Every Assassin's Creed games shows that it supports up to 1080p on the back of the box, but every time I fire one up, the TV shows the resolution to drop back to 720p. Now, if I disable the 720p and 1080i option in the settings, the PS3 can upscale it 1080p, but the game looks like a 240p video on YouTube literally, even though my TV shows it's in 1080p. Is there something I'm doing wrong, because up-scaling can only mean a clearer picture, even if by a tiny margin? I have had this problem with both AC3 and AC4. Or are these games best left at 720p even if they can run at 1080p?

I'm torn between Dragon Age Origins, Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning and Ni No Kuni. I can only get two games because I'm buying a $20 PSN card and I'm saving the last 10 bucks for Dark Souls II DLC. So, which of 'em to get?

She kills Booker at the fork in the road between baptism (Comstock) and going home and getting drunk (Booker). It doesn't matter which Elizabeth is killing which Booker, only that she's killing him at the point of divergence before he can make up his mind about the baptism. As he says, at that point in time, and only that point in time, he is neither Booker nor Comstock, but "both." Keep in mind that Elizabeth has become the Mommy of space and time by that point. You aren't dealing with Elizabeth and Booker from the game anymore, you're dealing with something closer to Platonic Forms of those characters, likely as soon as they end up in the Sea of Doors.

That being said, the post-credits scene removes any thread of consistency they had, because, as you said, Elizabeth should not have been born had the loop been closed--unless they failed to close the loop, which isn't any less detrimental to what they were going for.

Or maybe, seeing as how broken off this Booker and Elizabeth had been from laws of time and space, I guess Elizabeth managed to keep herself alive somehow, and Booker got to keep his memories, and back in the past, on the day of the deal, he gets memories of everything that occurred on Columbia. That is why he runs so madly towards the crib, to see if he has absolved his mistake or not.

But that would still mean Elizabeth shouldn't be in the crib, because there is only one Elizabeth in existence, the one who broke off from time and space, and no other Elizabeth should be born. What the guys said above is right, the game tries to hold together a poorly wrought plot using things like alternate universes and space-time continuum even though we humans barely understand these things. They shouldn't take the benefit of the doubt because we don't even know whether multi-universes exist outside of comics.

I just finished this game, and I've managed to tie together most of what the ending was trying to convey. I still don't understand one thing [SPOILER]: If Elizabeth kills the Booker you played the whole game as, then doesn't that mean that she kills a Booker who chose not to be baptised? If she kills a Booker who becomes the broke guy and not Comstock, doesn't that mean she isn't born at all? How does the theory that she kills every Comstock work when she really kills the unbaptised Booker?

Also, it's quite clear that the Elizabeth who drowns you isn't the one who you saved and the one who takes you into the Sea of Doors because she's missing that pendant and Booker clearly says "Wait, you're not..." or something similar. What happens to the nice Elizabeth we just saved and why does a random Elizabeth kill the player's Booker off?

Thank you for your replies people, I've decided to get AC4 now for the PS3 since it is cheaper, play through the game within two weeks and then buy the PS4 with Watch Dogs, because buying Watchdogs on PS4 rather than AC4 means more gameplay options instead of just shiny visuals.

Can one of you tell me why buy it for the PS4 instead of the PS3 besides the graphics and frame-rate?
