Perhaps you should read something about it. Intel is only supporting DDR4 at the end of the year for servers because of the lower voltage. DDR4 will be released at 2133 MT/s, which is also the speed of the highest DDR3 standard modules, manufacturers sell DDR3 at 2400 MT/s. In the future DDR4 will be faster, but for a while it won't be. I think you should because you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Huh? DDR4 is the next iteration of SDRAM as far as I understand it and is much faster than DDR3.

"Those specs are for multi-monitor and 4K gaming, not vanilla 1080p Zelda fun-time." That would be the point I'm sure. Along with the HVD drive....

Can we get a world map like the banner saga map
I don't see how some history of the area on the world map could possibly have any spoilers.

Of course it's a little crazy, but it's possible for Nintendo to make a deal with AMD, especially in a couple of years. Also, why release a new console unless you're going to destroy the competition. One thing that is interesting is that Nintendo IS a part of the Holography System Development Forum which is related to HVD tech. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony does this kind of thing all of the time, not to mention how reviews work at mainstream sites anyways. In other news rumored next Nintendo consoles. http://www.nintendonews.com/2014/01/nintendo-fusion-could-be-nintendos-next-gen-hardware-name/#comment-1358

Josh Sawyer on Quest Staggering and why BG2 might have had it right
He is making perfect sense. And I see it like he does. I want to be able to do any quest at any time given that I am currently able to access it's location. Not only when some unknown condition has been met at some unknown point in the game. Constantly having to recheck every area of the game in case a previous action unlocked some hidden content sounds grating, especially when you do a replay of the game and already know that "this" quest should be "here", but it isn't. Lol that's a new kind of neurosis.

Metabot replied to Death Machine Miyagi's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think Obsidian's "reputation for buggy games" is undeserved. Plenty of games are buggy upon release and not only that but complex RPG's are more prone to bugs than other types of games.

Who cares if you're locked out? There are so many quests in BG2 it doesn't matter. Not only that, but who said anything about being locked out necessarily? They might be in a different stage but you could still participate in them, but in a different way maybe. I think that would be amazing.

Can I even handle a game like PE any longer? Well, I sure hope so!
I don't know. It really didn't take summoning that many creatures. I did fine with a fire elemental with chaotic command cast on it and 2 skeletons. Of coutse, you do have to rest or use wondrous recall once your summon dies.

Sounds cool but I'm thinking there will be tons of lore to be found through many other means. It would be cool if we coukd annotate the mao though.

If you could find the quote it might help. But, no, I don't think it'll be exactly like HoF in every way. I'm guessing they meant to allude to the difficulty in general. I don't think they're going to bloat enemies' HP in exactly the same proportions as was done in HoF or anything like that.

What part of spiritual successor do you not understand? Also where did I say it will be exactly the same? Making up stuff much? Annoying ain't it? Sorry bro but you're making way too many assumptions. "Spiritual successor" doesn't mean alike in every way. They're building the game from the ground up for only getting exp from completing quest objectives. That's the way it is.

I was relating to my experience in IWD2, in HoF there where no better weapons/armor being dropped by non npc enemies. So when they said PotD is a spiritual successor of HoF I was connecting the dots, you where just making stuff up. Also didn't I already say that when playing in this difficulty non + items are trash (past early game) and not worth the trouble? Sooooo in your head potd will be exactly like hof in every single way? Jump to conclusions much?

No, it just that picking a dialog option isn't skillful or hard at all. Nor does it make you a smart player as some people on this board seem to think, but that is another story. Hmm not sure anyone is saying that clicking a dialogue option is "hard".- Can I even handle a game like PE any longer? Well, I sure hope so!

Yea I don't get why item degradation was shouted down. Even something a little less involved than New Vegas.- Can I even handle a game like PE any longer? Well, I sure hope so!
If it let's you bypass 5 out of 10 mobs on your way to the boss then I don't think it's going to work. I don't know if you ever played in heart of fury mode, but even trash mobs make you **** your pants. Path of the damned is simply going to be unfair as far as I heard, it's not going to just be better stats on enemies, it's going to be whole new enemies. Nope, just saying that a couple of gold pieces and a ordinary swords+armors, aren't going to incentivize anyone on going the fighting route. Lol I'm obviously not talking about common armor and swords. - Can I even handle a game like PE any longer? Well, I sure hope so!
