The high res pack has nothing to do with you console players since all your textures are low res so there is no difference. For us PC players, we can get higher resolutions since most PC players tend to sit close to the screen when they play so anything less is unacceptable and looks bad. The DLC gear does not come with these high res textures and so looks very bad when playing on PC.

Also true hardcore gamers build their own gaming PCs. That shows dedication. Just because you've played games for a certain number of years, doesn't make you hardcore. Hardcore is about investing more than just time.

Too bad for you that's an opinion and not fact lol.  Simply put, you're already saying that if you dont own a PC and game on it that you're not a hardcore gamer, which is complete and utter bull****.   However, thank you for proving my previous point though.

whats the point of caz or hard gamers cant you all just be considerd as one big gruop? at the end of the day were all gamers with a diffrent view point and styles lets just get on and have funbecause arent games supposed to be enjoyed?

That's essentially what I'd like to see.  It just fries me when PC gamers essentially snub their noses at everyone else.  (Not all of them do it but enough of them have that mentality to make it an issue.)

[Aradace]

But seriously though, can we get an answer on the PSN Store availability? Store is supposed to be back up either Tues or Weds. Can I expect to get this DLC then? Or am I going to have to wait another week or two?

There are different levels of hardcore. You can never reach the highest level without gaming on the best platform. Simple logic.

What facts? PC is objectively the best platform as it can do anything consoles can and then some. If you don't game on the best possible machine, how can you consider yourself the highest level of hardcore? 

There's nothing wrong with not being a hardcore gamer.

[Aesieru]

There's no such thing as a hard-core RPG gamer...

Maybe a FPSer... maybe even an RTSer but that's debatable.

Being better, and being different are two different things, heh a pun.

Anyway, the point is that the PC may be the more versatile and adaptable medium of play, but that DOESN'T for even a second mean that it's the BEST, after all... PC games usually don't use controller mediums and console games do, they are built around that, and many people feel that's more comfortable or better, also... a person doesn't need to have the best gear (which wouldn't make them Hard-core even if they did... hard core is more... dedication and persistence and hundreds of thousands of hours packed into one game... or just tens of thousands) to be able to play a console game enjoyably.

In fact, it could be argued because the console plays all games with the same specs, and therefore doesn't require continual adaptation, that it is the BETTER or... in other terms, more enjoyable and immediate satisfaction-evoking method of game-playing choice BECAUSE you can just literally "put it in and play" and regardless of what happens, unless the game is bad, the game will play well, look well, and while it may not be DX11, it will be good and the game will play... and it seems less errors happen on consoles because there's less to program for and less drivers to have to deal with.

In deed... the console is a good choice.

I choose all choices of course.

Edit:

In fact, technically because I choose all choices, play all games, and pretty much experience all mediums and different formats of the same games, even playing the same game numerous times via different mediums, I would be the correct interpretation of "hard-core" because of my dedication of time and effort... despite the fact I may not enjoy all the games I play.

Hard-core is more obsession and persistence, rather than anything else.

Also, I've built several computers of my own, but that's not because I'm "hard-core" or "obsessed", but merely because it was more cost efficient and allowed me to make fine-tunes, but I do the same with consoles, upgrading them when they make a more reasonable update, such as the Xbox 360 Valhalla model that is out now.

Also the PS3 is a great console... while I may abhor Sony because they kill everything they touch and that I love before they touch it... that cell processor has some potential... too bad it's difficult to program for.

Your logic, and even your understanding of pixels, resolutions, and why gamers sit closer to screens than tv-user's (who usually have bigger frames of reference or sized tv's (and therefore artificial resolution improvements, including 1080P and more...) is also incorrect... that's not why texture is higher.

You've only proved my point. Consoles are made to be easy to use so that everyone can get into it. PCs are for those of us who are serious gamers and want the very best, while having the brains needed to work with a PC.

[Aesieru]

No... not at all.

Pc's were created so that people could multi-task with office documents and more reasonably sized calculators, if we're being exact...

I didn't say anything about EASY to use, I said, "hassle-free" which does not mean "easy to use", you are putting your thoughts and interpretations, like with many things this day... in my mouth, and not listening or reading what I say... or at least comprehending it properly.

You are incorrect in nearly (not all) all of your statements that you've made in my presence or that I've seen, and you really need to read-up on your English and word-definitions, AS WELL as your technical and historical information basing computers, games, and other means... including graphics.

Truthfully you have no idea what you're talking about... and while that's not unusual... you're acting like anything you say, such as your agreement with a review, such as your idea of something, is the solid gold fact, and word of God.

---

Also, PC's are simple... they really are point and click... no more brains are necessary, and building a computer, is about as simple as it gets, as all you have to do is either read the directions, or take something off of something and replace it with the like-sized and socketed thing...

Maybe setting up a custom cooling system by hand MIGHT be difficult or adding liquid cooling, or having a tower without the actual case... but outside of that none of it is difficult...

Now if you want to talk about registry editing and writing code and your own drivers, THAT'S a different story, but you don't do that, obviously, and that's not the discussion here.

Point is, there is no "BETTER" choice...

It is all up to interpretation and point of view...

What one person likes better, does not mean the other person can't like something else, or that his choice is worse.

Nothing has been uttered that is a fact yet.

lulz nice trolling

[Skilled Seeker]

PCs are technically better and will always be so. Because a PC is fully modular and customisable while consoles are fixed and heavily restrictive. To deny this is to deny that the sky is blue or the earth is round.

Now quit derailling this topic trolls. This is to do with DLC and not 'I wish I could afford a gaming PC' thread.

[Aesieru]

...

First off gaming pc's are cheaper than regular PC's... because lack of service and cost...

So that's besides the point, second I have all right to respond and correct you on your misnomers and misunderstandings, especially when you derail a thread and insult someone.

Thank you.

And no... oh when quantum... well we won't talk about quantum modular computing but I assure you it will be easier to stick it onto a console rather than a computer and consoles will be much better at that time... ahh the future.

Any way, you're wrong is really all I can say, as cliche and mundane a response as that is...

The sky isn't blue... it's a reflection of light and therefore is most certainly not blue, and we are not "round" we are "spherical" very different.

Cry some more. I am honoured to have you stalk me through the forums while posting utter nonsense and thinking you know things. Now I will seriously not respond to you any further so don't expect a reply from here on out.

[Aesieru]

Stalk? I am responding to the three threads that have responses in them, I am not stalking you... though from what I can tell the reaction to my correcting you seems to be pretty positive.

Um... I've disproved you at every stop and you've yet to do anything to counter that apart from some derails and flames and an insult or two.

I wasn't expecting a reply... I was the one to first tell you to stop replying, that would be prudent... I tire of correcting you on my return from hiatus.

Anyway, the item pack thing... is a pretty insulting DLC... while they gave you somewhat what you wanted, they didn't do it in any means outside of what they wanted, versus what we wanted... I didn't hear all of us wanting to have helmets cover all our heads so we could see less facial interaction.

Where is that DLC for the game anyway?

Maybe you'll see it this time through the mountains of other garbage going on but any word on if the item pack will be available once the PSN Store comes back up tomorrow or Weds?  Or do I have to wait another week? lol

[CyberSnakeME2]

The news site on a gaming site in my country here said that from Tuesday 31 May 19:00 until Wensday 1 June 01:00 (this is the time here in Lisbon Europe btw) the PSN will be take down for maintence and they did say that they would have full services back at the end of May so I can assume that perhaps the store will be back by then.

[tiernanlshaw]

man, i personally find it hilarious how high of a pedestal some pc gamers put themselves up on.  its just silly.  ive been playing games since around 1984.  thats a pretty damn long time.  when people talk about the original generation of gamers, theyre talking about people like me, and they certainly arent talking about pc gamers. in the 90's i played more games on pc than i did consoles, but that was more so because you simply couldnt play games like monkey island (or any of tha cool stuff lucasarts was doing really) or ultima or elder scrolls on consoles.  back than it was a completely unique market with a wholly unique and different genre for games.   but the truth of the matter is that consoles have slowly but steadily been narrowing the gap in both original ip, and technical capabilites.  its to a point now that more games are designed for, and available on all 3 of the "next gen" platforms (pc, 360, ps3) than there are games designed soley for pc.  and let me tell ya, the games designed specifically for pc arent exactly standing apart on their own as technilogical marvels apart from what both the ps3 and the 360 are capable of.  the very best pc out there true enough dwarfs anything the ps3 can do techniogically.  but the fact is no one makes games for that platform, and hence, it is not "better".   who in the world would ever design a game for an audience of one anyway?   whatever the market you target, the goal is to make a game that the majority of that market will be able to play.  its why ps3 games for the most part dont stand apart from 360 games all that much.  the ps3 is a "better" system, but if you are making a game for both platforms you design it for what the least of those platforms can do.  not that the 360 is a bad platform.  its just doesnt have the oomph that the ps3's cell processor is capable of.  but you really only get to see this in exclusives like gran turismo 5.  either way the technilogical capabilities of any platform are extemely moot.  anyone who knows anything about gaming will tell you hands down a game doesnt have to be state of the art to any degree to be a good game.  good games are defined by their content.  not their capabilities or their eye candy.  and im sorry, the pc gamer who has invested 3 grand in their rig hasnt invested anymore than i have on my console rig.  600 bucks for the console, 2500 bucks for the 55" 1080p tv, and 2 grand for the 7.1 hd surround sound.  then 60 bucks a game.  so yeah, not only have i invested more, but it will more than likely last longer and be more versatile in the long run than your gaming rig. 

if you ask me the terms hardcore and casual are extemely abused.  its really only fair to apply either term to one specific platform.  its pretty safe to say anyone that plays on and only on the wii is a pretty casual gamer.  after that though being hardcore is entirely title specific, and i would NEVER apply it to anyone who played only single player rpg's.  to me being hardcore has always been about how much time you put into being the best at what youre doing.  there is really no medium to measure that criteria against if youre only playing single player rpg's.  wow... you beat it on nightmare... so have 10 million other people.  congratulations.  but if you spend 8 hrs a day on WoW, youre pretty hardcore.  the guys that plays gears of war so religiously that they can hit a free aim head shot from across the map right out of a roadie run with a sniper rifle every time they try it are EXTREMELY hardcore.  there are plenty of hardcore gamers on both pc and consoles alike.  i myslef have only ever considered myself hardcore in regards to two titles.  i could say without blinking that i could own the majority of the posters on this board in either madden or gears of war.  easily.   its also pretty safe to say that a lot of you prolly dont play either of those games.  i dont look down upon that at all. so im better at two very specific titles than most of you.  that doesnt make my opinion on any game or its dlc any more valid.  it certainly doesnt make me more knowledgable about what a great game is to any of you guys.  i know what a great game is to me.  im ok with that.  and when it comes to platform diversity, you could put any controller in my hand, or slide a keyboard in front of me and i would hold my own in just about every multiplayer title out there.  does that make me "hardcore"?  i personally dont think so.  does it make me "casual"?  who knows.  whatever you guys want to call me to make yourselves feel better about the fact that i just popped you head off from 200 yds is fine by me.   

personally i wish gamers would just leave the label there at being a gamer.  we all love games, and therefor all of our opinions are valid about whatever game we are talking about.   if you dont like the way a 5 buck item pack looks on your pc than simply dont buy it.  its hardly required to get the full experience the game is offering.  if you think its cool, and you want it, thats about as far as it will go.  pc players have very little to complain about as far as marketing or getting the shaft imo.  you wont see a bunch of console players pitching a fit when you eventually get your toolset that none of us can use.   so just enjoy the game if you enjoy it.  thats about all any gamer can do.

I usually buy every dlc for every bioware game, but I'll pass on this one. Whenever a story dlc comes out, I'll get that and if it makes DA2 halfway acceptable, I might come back and get this one.
