  • atm its better to have a high performence Dualcore than a quadcore of the same price.

    The most recent games have only started dualcore optimisation (and many are still single core and only have some dualcore properties to make the box sell better)

    Also, the quadcores still havent hit the point where the prices drop as boms like with the dualcores, they will probably do so withinin a year though.

    Also, even if there will be games coming out in the near future for quadcores (maybe 2-3 years, and in experimental stage probalby much sooner) the main core of the games will remain single.-dualcore, simply because the more cores there are, the harder it is to program and the longer it takes to make the game.

    (and because we have only barely begon exploring the possibilities of dualcore, and there are currently only three games that push high-end single-core processors to the limit)

     

    So anyways, in my opinion you'll get better performence-per-buck with a dualcore thatn with a quadcore.

     

    (p.s. dont forget there is a big difference between a game with multicore option and/or support or optimisation: optimisation is much better!)

    I have not played AoC yet so I'm not really in a great position to comment on it. However I have played LOTRO and I can easily see why that game had a smoother launch. The developers didnt take any risks at all with it and just pushed out a straightforward run-of-the-mill mmo. Funcom attempted to make a game with very good graphics and a more involving and unique combat system while Turbine simply churned out a generic and bland mmo that doesnt attempt to do anything new or interesting.

    If Funcom had made a game as basic as LOTRO then they would have probably had a really smooth launch as well. However they took the more risky route and attempted to make a more involving product. Sure its had huge problems but it will sort itself out eventually. Meanwhile boring old LOTRO runs really well. I have much more respect for what Funcom has produced, despite all of its problems.

    ....and sorry but graphics do matter. I want my games to look awesome! LOTRO doesnt look awesome. It looks cutesy and bland and the textures look rather basic to me.

     

    finally someone getting my point, or at least part of it

    If EQ2 was so good at launch why did they have to rebuild the game for it to be seen as even decent ? SO yeah you definitely played a different game.

    More information please. When and why did Sony rebuild EQ2?

     

     

    well in short people kept leaving, then they hired a women (I think) with guts, who knew what she was doing, and put her in charge to turn it all around

    o man your so right... the amazing graphics make up for extreme amount of bugs, the massive lack of content, and the lies funcom used to sell the game.

     

    Yup... graphics make everything right.

     

    dude thats not my point, I personnaly played Eq2 since the start, and I was thrilled at all the promises.

    Ok so things didnt turn out that well in the beginning, but I stuck with the game and I dont regret it.

    like I said, content will most certainly be added continuously, untill then I find more then enough other stuff to do in the game.

    of course, for true hardcore gamers thats a bit harder, but for everyone that doesnt exeed a monthly average of 3 hours a day an easy thing to do and enjoy for at least four or five months. 

     

    ...of course if you-re the grinding game type, its a bit different.
