[QUOTE="Gankstar_VX84"]play and enjoy, or buuhuu and don't. either way whining won't automatically rewind time, educate from software in everything about creating games for pc. i personally haven't played the pc version, i got a lvl 160 orso dude on ps3. it had awful bugs and problems on the ps3, 360 too i guess. but it got the rating it got, beacause absolutely everything else was dripping with sheer brilliance. if you don't love the game enough to forgive it's shortcomings it's clearly not for you, and your only playing it to bridge a gap between the last game you played, and the next one you really want. but moaning won't fix anything, will it?TenderBabyMeat

One of the stupidest analogies I've ever read.

After reading your first two posts it seems you weren't aware of the ability to target/lock-on to enemies, if not then you couldn't be more wrong in the majority of your posts.  Compared to the likes of Skyrim, Dark Souls' combat is many times better both in control/realism and fun factor.  I hope you've come to the realization of these facts.

Is it possible to be great with the hammerburst without a modded controller?

I'm not a Diablo 3 fanboy, in fact I'm one of the most critical commentors on Blizzard period, but there's a big difference between Titan Quest and Diablo 3.  Diablo 3 has randomly generated maps, dungeons, and events.  Titan Quest did not.  Replaying Diablo 3 is playing a different game, whereas Titan Quest never changed.  Of course the maps were bigger, they were the same maps... over and over and over.  

Did you play Diablo 2?  Balance was never the name of the game.  I could 1-shot hell mode Baal with my Bone Necro and I was the only class that could reliably solo hell mode because mobs almost never spawn Magic immune (every other element yes, Magic no) and my bone walls had hundreds of thousands of health points allowing me to box in and forget any mob that was magic immune.

If your cinematics are lagging its because you haven't fully downloaded the game.  Even in the green download section its downloading cinematics, they're loaded last.  So yes, you were streaming the cinematics and that's why they were lagging.  I had lagging cinematics until I let the game fully download and restarted my computer.  

Saying this game deserves a 5 or "they're on Blizzard's payroll" is laughable.  The games already averaging 88% on Metacritic, so you can expect a 9.0 from Gamespot.

For starters, D3 does not have randomly generated maps. IN fact most are the same with the only differences being breakable objects placed in different areas. The real randomization is found in the dungeons, however like Diablo 2 you see similar patterns which nearly always link to another piece which if you know what to look for is next to your goal, it eventually does take away from true randomness.

Secondly, cinematics were lagging for people even with a fully downloaded game...ironically in my case i had the game dvd in my cd rom which would be great for cinematics to play from...but oh wait, the dvd blizzard ships is empty except for a 1mb exe which downloads the game from the internet.

The professional reviewers will probably give the game a high review, player scores are generally much lower. Metacritic lists the sum as a 4/10 based on user scores. Dont forget, reviewers who do it for a publication for a living are not always the most objectively based. A bad review, even if the game deserves it, can come back to haunt you. Its a small industry and if you get on a publishers bad list, it can be felt far and wide.

I would bet that if Blizzard sold the IP to another company, maybe one with a bad trackrecord, and they produced this exact game...the reviews would be far worse. The fact is theres a blizzard bias at play.

Every user review has to be taken with a grain of salt, anyone can just troll a game, make multiple accounts etc.. you get the point.  I picked up my copy of D3 on friday and was able to install and play the game without any issues, I definitely had no cinematic lag, this sounds like a connection issue, if not then it's not something that will be a permanent problem the game's only been out for 1 week and we do not live in a perfect world, **** happens and it's impossible for Blizzard to simulate all the different situations every person may run in to. 

There might be a couple of review's that have been affected by the problems you've mentioned but I would bet they are few and far between, especially reviewer's working for company's with a lot of reputation and followers (everything is not a conspiracy).  Your technicalities of D3's generating (I don't know the specifics) isn't negating Megataku's point where he compares D3 and Titan Quest, I agree with him.

And for everyone complaining about a required internet connection, I mean it is 2012 and if you don't have an internet connection in this day and age it's almost like not having a telephone in the mid 90's.  If you don't have a internet connection because you can't afford it, then maybe you have bigger worries than playing a video-game, if it's a problem based on location, then maybe you should consider re-locating if it's that big of a problem for you.  Either way no-one wants to hear it, the majority of people I assume have access to an internet connection, and in reality it shouldn't be a major issue.

not sure but can dell computers be overclocked? If they can then buy a cooler, and overclock that cpu. After that buy a power supply like this one

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371051

and this video card:

or you can get a cheaper video card like this one and be happy:

this would woprk.. what you found tc would also work

So this is how my set-up is going to look:

Dell OTP406 Board

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 ghz

XFX 650W PSU single 12v rail @53a

500GB HD and 4GB DDR2 RAM

Now for the GPU, could I handle a GTX 570 or, would it be better to go with a GTX 560 TI (448 Cores), I know they're close which choice would be smartest?

[QUOTE="VGjunkie87"]

[QUOTE="ionusX"] it would but you could easily accomplish it with cheaper cards. you could likely max it with an hd 6870 or gtx 560

how does that combination look?

Hey I understand what you're saying about amps being just as important as wattage. So this CORSAIR 650W (details tab, output) says it has a single +12V rail @53amps correct?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020

I've been looking at this XFX HD 7850 now, which looks like a really nice card. Under requirements it says minimum 500 watt psu, so shouldn't this combo work fine?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150607

And my Quad-Core Q6600 2.4ghz should run this fine, as far as compatibility, is there anything I should be aware of?

could you just help me with the amperage, i need two dual 25a rails or a single 50a right to power that card?

[QUOTE="VGjunkie87"]

[QUOTE="ionusX"]

oh it would be. monsieur never implied it couldnt but you need to change the videocard and power supply first. he did however state than if you wanted to improve yoursystem further you would need to replace the whole machine as your system is basically a fossil by todays standards. EVERY quad core in circulation beats it senseless. and many dual cores do as well.

ionusX

oh I thought GPU meant General Processor my fault, so say I picked a HD 6950 or 570GTX should I go better where is a good safe median to run games like Skyrim on Ultra Settingsalso what kind of PSU would be good?

The Witcher 2 is cool, I have Forza 4 it's pretty kick ass, so many games not enough time...:(
