    It's literally a 3% improvement lol.

    But the main point of Ivy bridge is the 22nm fabrication process.

    It was a massive tragedy that it was released as such a broken mess.

    How can a game this good be treated like that. Such a waste.

    Intel went cheap on the heat spreader which means even if you get a better cooler for overclocking you wont get the full cooling performance.

    The combat system is great, and so is the RPG rule set, atmosphere and story. I wish it had first-person melee combat though.

    The combat was abysmal. But yes outside of some tech issues and the combat it was mostly a really good RPG. The choice/consequence system in that game is arguably the best in the genre or one of the best.

    The combat was meh, nonetheless still fun rpg.

    Did anyone else have trouble with the last boss? I remember dying a lot. I think it was essential to use firearm weapons. Been awhile so not sure.

    The game is superb, it's such a shame that it was released the way it was. But that's why there's mods to fix all of that.

    I'd love to see a sequel some day but I doubt it'll happen. Kickstarter maybe?

    Thanks guys. I was thinking about doing that, I'm getting really anxious and don't want to wait anymore. Think I'll take this advice.

    PC, Apple

    Xbox, Xbox360 (Nextbox if it doesn't have an absurd online pricing model)

    PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Vita, (PS4 as soon as it launches)

    Master System, Genesis, Sega CD, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, Game Gear

    NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, DS Lite, 3DS, (Wii U once some games I want hit)

    Pong, Intellivision, and Atari 2600

    No kidding? I had no idea. I thought White Wolf had gone under but I guess they just merged with CCP. That's pretty exciting. The more you know.

    I believe Planscape: Torment has that title, but this game is still fantastic.
