Well to be fair, I did quite enjoy the multiplayer in BC1's demo, which is why I bought the game. But being used to COD, the multiplayer enjoyment didn't stick with me when I bought the full game, so I didn't really give it much time to grow on me. I did quite enjoy sniping. It was mainly the campaign that I had to force myself through. Where does the game typically go on sale? If I could find it for cheaper I'd pick it up without a doubt.

I played the first Bad Company on the 360 when it first came out and didn't find the game very enjoyable, in fact, I had to force myself to play it. But BFBC2 seems pretty popular and has a large player base, so I figured improvements were made. I'm just cautious of shelling out the money, because the last PC game I bought (Witcher 2) was a major disappointment to me and was a waste of $50. Would just like your opinions and feedback as to why or why not you think the price is fair and worth it.

Dead Space 2 seems to be the general consensus from both boards I posted on. Any other opinions?

So recently I just bought myself a nice, new gaming laptop and acquired a bunch of games. But With all these games came a terrible case of gaming ADD. I can't play one game for more than 30 mins without switching to another one and it's bothering me, so I decided to ask the misc which game I should beat first!

Games are listed below, and Risen is the only game on the list that I've actually beaten before, but it's a much better game on the PC, so I had to play it again.

Games:

Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga
Warcraft 3 (Do not like RTSs, but hoped this would get me interested in them)
Gothic 2
Gothic 3
Stalker: Call of Pripyat
Alice: Madness Returns
Dead Space 2
Magicka
Dragon Age 2
Risen
Also Age of Conan (for teh lulz)

I'm in the market for a new game and I'm torn between these two games. It's been awhile since I've had a good MMO, and I played like 3 stages of Rift beta and enjoyed it, but I've heard it's not quite all it's hyped up to be now. I've heard great things about the Wither 2, but I've heard an equal amount of complaints. Witcher is $50, and Rift is $20, but of course requires a sub.

Thanks for any opinions that I receive!

Honestly, I'm confused about what makes the XPS 15 or the M11x better than the laptops I posted. From customizing both on the websites, I would be paying more, but getting lesser quality hardware. Also, what makes the i5 so much better than the n970? Is the difference worth the $50 price difference?

I guess my main goal out of these laptops is to hopefully play Skyrim on them in November, not maxed of course, but still be able to play nicely.

The second one has a better processor from what I can tell and the GPU is also slightly faster than the 6650 from the review I have seen online, but not by far.V4LENT1NE
I also saw the benchmarks for the GPUs, but as far as the CPU goes the quad core benchmarks better than the 480M, I'll search for the exact benchmark.

Edit:

PassMark CPU Benchmarks:

Phenom xII N970 - 2762

Intel i5 480M - 2745

The second one is the better of the two by far, dont know how it willl peform in games though, you usually haev to spend a bit more to have decent gaming peformance.V4LENT1NE

Why would you consider it better by far? From the benchmarks I've reviewed the results were nearly identical in each test.
