Call of Duty Ghosts...or is it Call of Duty Groan.

I've been looking at a replacement video card, and originally I had thought about getting a Nvidia GTX 650ti, but saw that the GTX 750ti was due out shortly, similarly priced. Seems local places now are stocking it, and it pretty much doubles the capacity vs my current aging Nvidia 9600GT in all areas except power, it's 60W where my current card uses 95W peak.

Our local electronics superstore has the 750ti alone for 169eur, or for 199eur you get it and Titanfall PC (53eur separate) plus a madcatz Titanfall mousepad (17eur separate)... (link) although I'm not as bothered by the mousepad as I love my steelseries QCK+

How is Titanfall Chako?

nm.

That seems wrong. If you bought that edition surely it should include a disc... man publishers are getting cheap when it comes to media!

Yeah, probably be ready sometime tomorrow.

EDIT: Who knew the XBox One is like the military...hurry up and wait.

If I bought a specific edition I would expect media or for it at least to come pre-loaded...

with any luck you'll have some games to play before PS4s become available in your area...

I agree. I was shocked all I got was a cardboard card with one of those captchkas that allowed me a free download of the game. By the way, I just checked...Forza 5 update now at 25%.

Must say, the camera works great at reading those diagrams. Saved me from really getting ticked off typing via joypad 25 digits.

I guess while I wait, I may as well play some C&C Generals.

Whoey, the game is good. I turned off the machine last night disappointed in not being able to play Titanfall. When I shut off last night, the ticker was at 28%. At least I was able to play Forza 5. The graphics in that game are amazing. I did hit the pay wall however, but it was't as bad as many are talking about online. You do get the full game with plenty of car choices. However, some other cars belong to a DLC group where you have to pay. There are 6 of those and you would have to pay an additional 49 bucks to get them all. I was disappointed in seeing this but I was forewarned in before hand after reading reviews online. With that said, there are more than enough vehicles to keep one entertained for a very long time. I would dare say that you probably never need to pay for a vehicle with real money if you so desired and still feel that you got your money's worth.

As for Titanfall. I woke up this morning, and despite my turning off the Xbox one, the game was ready to go. I just finished my training, and about to play the game for the first time. The game uses every button on the controller, which means I will have to learn them all...a steep learning curve for someone so used to keyboard and mouse.

Ok here is an issue as I see it.

I had to wait a long time to download Titanfall. By the way I just played my first round and all I can say is I majorly own the suckage market right now. We are talking big time investor here. It is a fun game as far as online shooters go. I just don't play well with a controller. At least not today. I guess I will get better with time.

Back to the issue. I installed Forza 5 from a disk and it asked me to update the game. That took quite a while. At least I was able to play the game late last night.

Now I just installed my third game, that Plant versus Zombie shooter...and guess what. It told me I would have to download an update to play that.

I mean what the hell! Does this mean every game I buy a game for the XBox One is going to chain me down to an overly slow and long download just to play the game? I know it is a good thing that they are updating all the time but come on! This is ridiculous.

yikes... nothing like using your customer as a beta tester...

I'm not sold yet. I could order a new graphics card elsewhere for significantly less (different brand, same chipset/features)

I guess I could care less about this seeing that because I couldn't buy one, I now have an XBox One. I must say, happy with the machine I now have at that.

Chako,

Since you just got your Xbox one, I do recommend an old game called FarCry3 which I just recently discovered and playing on my Xbox(I still didn't get the Xbox one yet) from time to time. A very nice FPS with a decent plot, and if you are tired of being at war all the time, this game is fresh with a twist.
