I'm using my same old cheap case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Am I supposed to do an unboxing video or something? Do parts assembled in a case look neat? Are you making fun of me?

I THINK THAT "PRIMA DONNA" IS "PRE-MADONNA". I MAY BE ILLITERATE.
Commander mode is so boring too.

It would have been nice to allow people to play the fps portion and do commander poo poo at the same time for those of us privy to duel monitor setups or even when you use the huge map in game for a single screen. The only thing "exciting" is clicking the UAV launch every 10 seconds. Which brings me to another point, It would be cool if they had it set to where a UAV would circle the same point until you gave it a new location to survey. If it got shot down (which never loving happens) you could just relaunch it with an in game menu like when you hold the q button to yell about trasnport or medics. Hell they could redo the whole thing like that where you could aim your crosshair and launch a uav, supplies or a missle.

Also, if you didn't know you can kill a cruise missile by launching an EMP UAV where it's supposed to impact, and Bolow figured out you can shoot them down with AA.

ps: I'm at over 200 kills in the rhib boat, and no you don't get service stars. What a load!
this is me whenever i'm in a boat:

Commander mode is garbage because it's not a mirror of BF2/2142 with destructible support assets instead of the goofy capture this point to launch cruise missile style. It doesn't help that most people in this game don't even seem to know how to spot, let alone set attack orders or accept/decline commander orders.

The cruise missile is definitely great for clearing out snipers though.

Battlefield 4 with everything on ultra is :stare:

Origin name is FurtSundwiches. For some reason many online services consider the word Fart to be some kind of vulgarity. I'm gonna get drunk and play online tonight!

I got a couple free games with my video card and I'm not really interested in them. Assassin's Creed 4 and Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Is anyone interested in them? One code for both.

To be honest for BF4 Windows 8.1 is showing significant FPS advantages over Windows 7, to the tune of 10-20+ FPS higher for the same system, but you really have to decide if that's worth it for you for one game, even though you already have your Win7 key. With DirectX 11.2+ and some of the other optimizations never going to see the light of day on Win7 it should be interesting for the future, at least.

It still has the metro tile interface like regular eight of that's what your asking. It's easier to avoid though, you can boot straight to the regular desktop and literally never ever have to use metro ever.

Yep, and if you really want the start menu, http://www.classicshell.net is pretty much the same thing as the Win7 start menu on 8.1. Windows 8 was pretty poo poo, but 8.1 did a lot of good. BF4 is the only game currently to make use of the new features of Win8.1 that I know of, and it really shows.

So far so good on my end. Killzone looks amazing. The PSN network is intermittent though. It's a pretty slick console.

edit: controller is great. FPS game w/ a controller not so great. I'm loving awful online.

Coming from a pretty awesome PC, the graphics aren't mind-blowing, but that doesn't mean they're bad. It's the same kind of quality I've seen games run at for a while now. What is awesome is this tiny rear end console (it's pretty loving small) is doing this on my 65" tv. If there's games you wanna play on the system, need a netflix device, and/or a blu-ray player, it's a pretty great deal at 400 bucks. So far I've had no issues other than PSN being bogged down.

So basically if you play consoles and will continue to do so then don't hesitate on it unless you're just waiting for more games to be released for it.
