What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

Okay I seriously can't imagine ever playing this game vanilla again... There are indeed some perks to PC gaming.

I saw the lightsabers and I immediately got my hopes up for a new Star Wars game that I've yet to discover.

...but nope. That would be too good to be true.

Oh my gawd. I almost bought a gaming computer but nooo "I don't play PC games, I game on console." I said. "I don't need it to be able to play games, just need it to be good for college work and stuff." I said.

For most games, I still prefer console, but there are a few that are definitely better on PC, and since I've got a good enough laptop for most of them, the portability is great too.

Lol, sorry, just Skyrim mods.

Although, my brother and I saw some cool trailers around E3 for a Star Wars game that looked awesome. But I've slept since then so I don't remember much.

Really? xD

My laptop *can* play games, but it isn't a pleasant experience. Even high-end laptops really aren't meant for gaming.

That's the Battlefront reboot. I'll be getting it on day one, but it'll be Q4 2015 at the earliest. That's the game I've been waiting to play since 2006.

Seriously. Battlefront I and II were the best games of their time. I wasted thousands of hours playing those two games over the past decade. That's what got me into Star Wars. My life is practically on those discs. The fact that DICE is making the reboot is one of the best things I could imagine.

I'd gladly stick my face into a toilet if it means I get to see some new screenshots of the game. That's worth it. I'll be so happy when it's finally out, I'll buy twenty copies. Just give me the frikkin game. I'll sell myself to the slave trade if I have to.

Ah, Star Wars games. One of the few series of licensed titles that isn't entirely abysmal and does justice to the films' universe. So many classics were popped out over the years. The SNES trilogy, the Jedi Knight series, Battlefront, and the KOTR games(yes, while unfinished and rushed, even II still has some merit to it).

Speaking of KOTR,

Spoiler: show

how long till the next chapter of your Mohatu fic is done, Reg? I've become a bit of an avid reader of that.

I don't even have trouble with the next gen title I've tried, as long as the settings are appropriate, and it still looks fine to me. Every thing works beautifully, no lag, and with my ps3 controller, too, so it doesn't matter that I'm unable to use keyboard and mouse. And I only have Intel HD 4000 for graphics.

Yeah, I thought it was Battlefront, but being unsure, I didn't wanna say that and be wrong. I do know that my brother referred to it as "the game Battlefront should have been." I didn't play Battlefront much, but I agree with that assessment based on what I saw.

In my opinion, the Star Wars games were better than the movies. To me, the movies feel more like advertisements for the games, rather than anything else. Even the prequels are all better than most movies are, but something about watching them just makes me want to delve deeper into the universe.

There's never a dull moment in Return of the Jedi, for example. It's a great movie, but what makes it as special as it is is that it has some of the most epic battle scenes of any movie ever. I can't watch it without wishing I was an X-wing pilot for the rest of the day. Then... the next thing I know, I'm shaking my fist at Lucasarts for not making a reboot of that franchise. I want a proper Star Wars space combat simulator just as much as anything in the world.

I don't want to watch it. I want to be there. The Star Wars universe is so vast and interesting, and I want to explore every nook and cranny of it. The Jedi Knight games, KotOR games, and Battlefront games all gave that in a way that the movies never could.

I'm about halfway done with chapter 41. I have A LOT of work to do for school, which is why I'm on here procrastinating. But considering, I may not get to finish the chapter for another week or two.

Yeah, with lower detail settings. That basically reduces everything to PS3 or 360 quality.

There's no way you could max out a game like Crysis, Far Cry 3, or Tomb Raider, though. My desktop struggles to run any of those with full settings at 1920x1080. But it looks like that:

That's at ~30 frames per second. That's probably the best demonstration of what my computer can do. It looks amazing.

I can run AC4 almost maxed out, but I turn shadow detail down, the ambient occlusion off, and run it with only FXAA. I won't even buy Watch Dogs because I know it'll run like total crap on my PC.

All of this would fry my poor lappy.

I didn't play Battlefront much

You're a disgrace to humanity.
