When Canadian telecom regulators were considering a policy change that would have essentially allowed major ISPs to pass along some pretty major costs to minor ISPs (the reasoning behind this relates to infrastructure ownership and is not important for this conversation), one smaller ISP pointed out that it would be cheaper to buy a hard drive, mail a hard drive to your ISP, have them fill it up for you, and then have them mail it back than it would to download the comparable amount of data. Just embarrassing.

Don't remind me of those dark, dark days.

I downloaded 1.3 TB in one month in preparation for the internet apocalypse.

The Steam version has even more updates than the Humble version, including key binding support. :D

As for leaderboards, I have some ideas, really want to see how it does first as I also have another game I'm working on. :) Glad you're enjoying it!

Then get used to not playing some games. It's like expecting a PS3 to play PS4 games.

Its mostly the recommend 780 that is causing issues.

Increasing the RAM for x64 requirements is a great change, and most rigs at this point would be in that range.
50GB of space seems like another welcome change, I am assuming they are piping in large textures. I hope they have the foresight to separate the large texture downloads from the main game, for those that are suffering behind a cap.
The CPU requirements, especially for Watch Dogs, were causing tears, but most people don't understand what they have. People were literally asking if an OC'd 4770k would be enough to run Watch Dogs due to miss-communication and ignorance.

Requiring a 780 is just ridiculous, that card is an order of magnitude above the next-generation consoles. I'm guessing you will need a 780 to max these games at 1080p/60 fps.

I'll max them on my 760 and play with 10fps if that's what I must endure!
I don't actually play CoD and probably won't get watch dogs

il live either way, but I doubt even that. 780 seems overkill for 1080p in something like COD based on what weve seen. Or any next gen game for that matter

I very highly doubt any next-gen game will be unplayable at high settings and 1080p on a 760/780 set-up.

780 is such a great card, wish I could afford the $650 for one.

The thing that bugs me about these recommendation freak outs is that none of the spec sheets take into account overclocked processors.

Not that they should, because even though it is so easy, OCing is still kinda niche. But an overclocked i5 will beat out a stock i7 most of the time. Threads or no threads. Also people are misinterpreting the '8core' requirement. Going to be interesting to see what the results are, but I would be personally surprised if an i7 really makes that much of a difference over an i5 - clock for clock.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I feel good with my GTX 470 and my i5 760 and my 4 gigs of ram.

I'm sure I'll be fine. Just fine. Mmmhmm.

10 TB here. Get on my level scrub.
Click to expand...

15TB and I'm starting to run out of space. Who knew unmetered internet would be so indirectly expensive!

Edit: I really need to replace my 2TB Steam drive with a 3TB or, preferably, a 4TB. Since I don't have any more room left in my Eleven Hundred, the 2TB drive won't have a home, though my brother left his old PC here so if it still works, maybe I'll turn it into a NAS machine.

Nevermind, roomie walked in on me wondering why I had my face so close to a "sausage". Told him I was lasso-ing and he may have misunderstood me.
