Title: I played the Company of Heroes demo today
Post by: CajoleJuice on December 21, 2006, 01:40:05 AM: I was hanging out with my friend today and I was telling him how many good things I've heard about CoH, and I got him to download the demo.

HOLY SHIT I NEED A NEW COMPUTER RIGHT FUCKING NOW

Deformable terrain, fortifying buildings, sticky bombs, snipers, mortars, anti-tank guns, whatever those skill upgrades you can choose are called....too much awesomeness.

Post by: CajoleJuice on December 22, 2006, 02:24:25 PM: Just playing the demo of this game got me more excited than pretty much any game I've played on a console this year outside of Guitar Hero II.

It was just so fuck awesome.

No sense in dumping that much money in a nice mid-level card right now when you can get DX10 support around the corner for a good price. I'm hoping when that happens, the Core 2 Duo CPUs will drop because the quad cores will be out and I'll pick up a Core 2 Duo, DX10 card and 2GB of RAM

I have no clue about this shit.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 22, 2006, 04:08:58 PM: The new Windows OS, Vista, is going to champion in DirectX 10. That's kind of like the base of what all games use to play. Right now, the vast majority of cards are DirectX 9, which is fine, because nothing is using DX10. But future games will. Ones available now are $400+, which is just too rich for my taste.

The other end of the spectrum is that Intel is going to release their quad core CPUs soon, so that means that their brand spankin' new and already affordable Duo 2 Core CPUs are going to drop in price.

So really, just wait until Vista rolls out, the DX10 mid-level cards to hit and the quad core price cuts, and you can get a nice rig built for the future at a good price.

Post by: CajoleJuice on December 22, 2006, 04:16:56 PM: Alright, sounds like a plan. When is Vista due to officially hit?
Title: Re: I played the Company of Heroes demo today
Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 22, 2006, 04:20:49 PM: Sometime in February was the last I heard. One or two of our more esteemed posters would know for sure.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on December 22, 2006, 05:28:39 PM: Vista hits shelves in late January. Some of you know who to call. ;)

Willco, FrankenPC will take a Core 2 Duo.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 22, 2006, 05:31:20 PM: Yeah, I'm just biding my time until DX10 cards are affordable and I've got a stable job to do a full scale upgrade. I'm thinking when I have the latter, the former will also come to fruition.
