My rule of thumb's always been if you want to play a bunch of cool, story driven, single player games then get a playstation, and if you want to invite your friends over and play some … (more)local multi you should grab an xbox. Personally I've always thought the xbox line of thinking is the way to go. Sadly this craze about graphics has turned consoles away from what they're meant to be and even halo 5, the franchise that set its foundation on local multiplayer, doesn't have splitscreen in favour of better graphics. It's sad to watch honestly.

I've only had a couple of months of experience with a PS4 over the christmas holiday last year. I don't like the controller very much. The flappy triggers don't feel great to use and I kept sliding off the convex joysticks. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with the system's OS. What I did notice was it produced a lot of heat. Like a lot. Air circulation is definitely something to be aware of with the PS4. It was super small though, a little bigger than a Wii.

I got an xbox one on the first day it was released. It was a poor decision and I wouldn't do it again. You should buy a console to play games, not to have a console. The box is really big and you shouldn't put anything on top of it that'll block the massive fan. Heat hasn't been an issue though. The controller felt weird at first, but after a few months I loaded up a few games on the 360 and I could immediately feel how much better the xone controller was. The backwards compatibility opens up the game library so much. The only reason I've turned on my 360 since they added it was to move all of my save files into cloud storage. The "looking for group" feature they added recently is amazing. Back in the day I had to message everyone I played with in halo 3 multi and ask them to help me get achievements in halo odst. Not any more. They've also recently made improvements to achievement tracking and you can pull up a small overlay to track your progress while you play.

But yeah to reiterate, splitscreen has always been the biggest draw to console gaming for me, and the xbox has better and more splitscreen games. (less)

This thread wouldn't have drawn enough attention for a second page if not for our friendly neighbourhood edgelord painting the world in black and white. What's the point of a thread in … (more)which all the posts are essentially "me", "I'm not", "I am", etc.

Substance people. Discussion, thought, drama. I don't care whether you want to transfer or not, as I said above I'm not transferring. However, I have taken time out of my day to encourage you to think about your reasons and respond to our generalist here. Forming your thoughts into words is a great way to work them out. Even if you don't hit the post button, try writing out a response anyway. It can only help you. (less)

Unless your current computer is running some seriously antique electronics, you won't get any improvement to you latency by upgrading.

About your proposed build from your link, first of … (more)all, hot damn stuff is cheap in America. You should strongly consider whether you want to overclock or not. I personally recommend against it. Not all CPUs are made equal and there's no way to tell how much yours can take until something goes wrong. There are significant savings to be made by choosing to relinquish the option of overclocking. You can drop back to a non "K" intel CPU model, you don't need to buy a third party CPU fan, you can drop back to a "H" model motherboard, you can grab a lower capacity power supply.

All of these savings can be invested into another part of the computer,. Be it a better CPU, more ram, a bigger hard drive, or a better graphics card (which wouldn't make a difference in maplestory but it would for other games). Building computers is all about balance; a computer is only as strong as its weakest part. (less)

This thread should be closed because it's non constructive, but I just want to say that taking any action at all is unnecessary aggitation. If they wanted to keep the peace then they … (more)should have left things exactly as they were. (less)

The class just feels like whoever was on the design section of the development team during the revamp called this one in while sick.

That's pretty much what happened actually. … (more) They had this revamp lined up and ready but based on community feedback they scrapped it, but they still wanted to change the class (tbf union aura and grand light aura went against the original design of the class). The end result was the removal of everything that made the class unique , a massive damage nerf, and changed the playstyle to "telecast or be the weakest class in the game". I'm still waiting on that teleport lag fix to make the class playable.

My 200k range wind archer already dishes out over a third of the dps of my 1m range non-telecasting battle mage. Take me back to the days of 'summon reaper', 'twister spin' and 'body boost'.
