I played WoW for about 20 minutes and decided I didn't like playing in a living cartoon

...your right, it's nowhere near as cool as your fagtastic cartoon signature.

Yes... the joke doesn't make sense if you say well.

word in the hood is that EQ2 is using a modified unreal engine? Is this correct?

If so i think it might actually run just fine. I have played ever version of unreal tournament up to 2004, and never had an issue with lag/gfx even with 50 people running all over the place shooting the hell out of each other, not to mention I have a very average computer and GFX card. That engine has to be the most efficient anywhere.

I hear there are some lag issues in areas like in character-heavy city areas, but that it's usually just temporary while the area is working on loading. Not sweating that. I'll just have to see for myself.

Otherwise, I've been hearing good things, graphical lag-wise, and I'm fairly confident that my system (even though it's almost 2 years old now. it's an antique~) will run it well enough without requiring any upgrades.
Suppose doubling up on RAM and/or a new video card wouldn't hurt either, but I think I'll just wait and see before spending any money.

WOW is very well coded. It runs like butter on both my desktop <2 years old> and my laptop <1 year old>.

Get a Gig of RAM, and a halfway decent 3D card on a Pentium 2+ and WOW runs great.

EQ2 looks gorgeous and is much more detailed. I fear its system requirements.. It blows WOW away graphics wise, but people don't buy games solely on graphics...

Ah, that's good to hear. Thanks, Lyion.

EQ2 look good, someone know the release date btw? I know it's 2004 somewhere... as i bore to play CoH (nice game, but nothing than grinding).

Holy shit, Hey Baddwin!

My opinion is it's a year away. EQ2 right now is in closed EARLY beta. I'd guess at the earliest it'll come out Christmas time. Next summer would be a more realistic guess.

Sup Lyion =)

There nothing interesting, i even thou of trying a PS2 (like Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain), until there a good game out there. What are you playing right now?

Single player I've been playing Farcry and Age of Mythology. I'm really looking forward to Doom 3 in a few weeks. Farcry is fun, but it's an FPS. Age of Mythology I bought last year and never played it, but it's pretty fun.

Multiplayer I just got into WOW beta a few weeks back, and its quite fun, although I have some issues with it. I may purchase SWG: Jump to Lightspeed, although I'm not sure how good it'll be. SWG is nothing like EQ though, and is a more social world.

If you're looking at a console I'd suggest an Xbox. Halo 2 is coming out this year and I'm a big Bungee fan. Also, if you search Tossica's post he has some pretty cool links to Xbox mods if you're into that.

What best between X Box and PS2?

Well, they cost the same.. Xbox is a bit more powerful and has some nice mods you can do to it.

PS2 has a wider variety of games, and gets some nice Sony/Japanese only titles that are fun.

A lot of devs make their games for both consoles, though.

Halo2 to me would make me pick Xbox over PS/2. I'm sure others would recommend the reverse based on other games.
