I recommend the Razer Naga Hex
Comes with amazing software
And it has. 1 million click guarantee:-)
5800DPI and it will cost you in the 80 dollars range :-)
I have a bag of Logitech mouse, their switches are cheap and do not last long :-)
Killed 3 logitech mouse playing Diablo 3 since it is constant clicking :-)
The Razer software is quite nice and you can link it to the exe file of the program and just assigned the button to the key you want :-)
Well made software and it will save your mouse profiles in the clouds :-)
So you can take your mouse to a friends PC and it will remember your profiles :-)

Oh you with your big...numbers. :P Granted, it has one probably easily reachable extra button more than the Logitech G402, but I probably wouldn't like how all of them are reachable with the thumb. The G402 has 3 extra thumb buttons and 2 extra buttons for the pointer finger.

 

In the end it would probably come down to the price...Logitech G402 is currently around 45€ (50 US$) while the Razer Naga Hex is around 70€ (80 US$). Still, regional price differences could be totally different in other places I guess. ^^

Morning everyone!  

 

@MatrixGirl  What an idiot.  Although that is pretty much the attitude anywhere.  I think a lot of folks simply are not interested in playing on a computer because they feel it's too complex and/or do not like using mouse/keyboard. Because they grew up playing on a controller and didn't do anything on pc.  I don't think I would be a gamer now if I didn't find computers interesting.  Building, troubleshooting, analyzing makes for a happier me.  :)

Razer User! Swear by it.

Also CheatEngine and Nexus have made DAI useable. The amount of attention that gets taken up with the garbage coding of this game is unbelievable. Use 2 perks to get to 90 Inventory. Origins had 125, I think DA2 was the same.

Upped my inventory to 1000 and never had to think about destroying stuff or finding a merchant.

If all you attention is on what to destroy, where is the enjoyment? Gone.

With Nexus and CE, who needs Bioware?

If someone can convince Dice to release some of the tools they use, that would help the modding community a great deal. The chances of that happening right now is zero right now though.

Well, if you are a tech enthusiast which I know you are,  :) You need to test the waters with other brands to see what else is out there even if you have your favorite brands. I still have a Razor Diamondback special edition mouse that has survived dogs, and various cats in the past 10 years that I'm currently using to test the desktop.  But then I wasn't expecting much out of this Perixx mouse but it's very good.  Ya know what I mean.  :>

I agree :-)

I had many logitech mouse, did not like the quality :-)
I also bought a Steel series Diablo 3 mouse that was junk :-)
I also tried the Mad Catz their 200 dollar version that looks like the Bat Mobile, it had like 20 buttons on it, did not find it comfortable and it had not so good software :-)
And as a gamer girl ,my mouse and keyboard are wired :-)
Would never get. Wireless version of mouse and keyboard:-)
Wired is where it is at, and no lag on wired components:-)

I completely agree on wired input devices for gaming although wireless mouse is okay for your turn based tactical type game but wired mouse for everything else.  I had similar issues with Logitech. Some of their mouse were good but they simply didn't take the abuse too well.  I very much think that Steel series components are in the same category. Some are good but cost a lot. The cheaper stuff is junk.  Bah to Mad Catz. I have yet to use something of theirs that wasn't junk. Ya know what I miss?  The IBM PS/2 standard keyboard with mechanical keys.  That was the best keyboard of all time but unfortunately not available to buy anywhere now.

Players Group!

 

I went on a binge last night watching Rageaholic's videos concerning the death of video game journalism, top-heavy management (making games so freakishly expensive to feed the stake/shareholders), no middle-class working class (they're constantly replaced by cheaper, younger generations) and market shares that are being manipulated to hide utter failings and to highlight fluff successes. 

 

We're in the middle of the second video game industry crash. 

 

Remember, how I felt a little disturbed leaving PAX SOUTH on how many top vendors were latching onto the tablet, smartphone freemium games that is basically a microtransaction treadmill? Do you remember that I stated there was a lot of blatant soft-porn to sell crappy games, but no one was saying anything negative? I got a good feeling (based on huffing and lots of generic answers) about Bethesda's new Fallout? 

 

The same crap went down back in the early 80s and again at the turn of the millenium. Publishers (and now they're down to a handful, THQ imploding two years ago) are so damn top heavy that each succeeding generation is having to have an even higher learning curve to understand the complexities of engines like FB3 and have even less time to produce a quality game. 

 

So, don't waste your money on another freakishly expensive console. They are already outdated by the time they reach store shelves. Sony has closed a lot of studios and there is a lot of upheaval in the video game industry in Japan. We're seeing a lot of talent, unemployed and taking jobs outside the gaming industry (look at the two doctors who founded Bioware). Things are so volatile that a lot of people inside the industry are looking to solidify their job stability by requesting contracts. That's all good until the incompetent start stretching contracts past their due date. Some are so adept at it, they have strung companies out for 11 years (see Final Fantasy 15). 

 

Basically, all the cutting edge stuff that came out during the 2000s (like Dragon Age) are going to be impossible to emulate because the focus isn't on how powerful the hardware is in your computer or console. It's focused on the medium that is selling millions upon millions of units like smartphones and tablets. 

 

I have no doubt we'll see a Renaissance of gaming soon. A lot of emphasis on the smaller studios is just going back to what worked. Right now we're seeing Divinity, Witcher and other similar games make huge strides to be avant-garde and trying to bring the art back into gaming. Which me brings to another revelation...

 

It shouldn't cost $25 million to start a franchise. However, that's the number these publishers are looking at to feed their top-heavy and established management teams. The money isn't spread equally among the creative and programming types. No way. For those of the elite class will say, "Well duh.. we have to pay for lights, health costs, PR, marketing, etc." This is coming from the incredible architects of the insurance and legal industries that basically is waging a quiet, class war among us. 

 

Bioware is dead. EAware is here. No one is listening or cares. They have their marching orders and if the game is fixed, it's fixed. If not, they move their lowest salary earners to the troubleshooting area while they're best code monkeys are trying to pump out DLC to satisfy the next quarterly earnings. The real design teams or constantly being put to work to come up with creative (which they fail and ultimately recycle old stuff) gaming points that are hamstrung by newly arrived programmers set to work on a very complicated engine. Who needs PR and HR when you have fanboys doing that work for you?

 

I still have hope for EAware. I do. They can turn the ship around, but they're going to have cut all that useless fat at the top and figure out a way to bring back experience muscle into the fold. This new generation of rookes isn't ready to deliver and their efforts and final products are half-baked and unfinished. It's not that their dumber. Actually, they're more freaking adept at software than previous generations, but they're basically given very direct marching orders from some ex-insurance or ex-banking guy to control costs who doesn't have a clue what the established ($15 billion in sales last year) gaming industry wants. They grasp to catch phrases and stick to their directive.

 

For many years, Bioware's main strength was building engines. Yes, they weren't perfect, but artists and storytellers could work their medium and build a world that we gamers love. Once one or two games are made using the engine, it's contracted out to another studio that has ties to Bioware (see Black Isle) and they pump out quality games using the engine that Bioware made. This worked wonderfully until the studios (see Black Isle) got so bloated and stupid at the top that they closed. Some are going to say FB3 is a step backwards. It is in the hands of young, inexperience code monkeys, but give some guys with real gaming credentials (like many in the modding community) and you have some badass stuff being put on display... for free. DA3, if EAware, feels it's extremely profitable (which isn't despite winning IGN's Game of the Year after being on the market for three whole weeks) is going to cause another upheaval of talent hitting the unemployed line. 

 

Kickstarters and Indie games are also falling prey to shady and money-grabbing practices so beware before you commit funds to a project. There is a great chance of it never seeing completion.  

 

Kokatu's attempt to cover this story was overcast with a bajillion ads about Inquisition winning GOTY. Angry Joe, silent. Boogie, not talking. That dude that called out Gearbox ("BULLSH....") about Aliens: Colonial Marines is quiet as well. Everyone is feasting on the disposible income of gamers and consumers are left with half-baked potatoes. Also, don't question what the publishers are giving you or they will immediately censor you or shut you down. Hell, I'm afraid to speak up now because the fanboys alert moderators faster than a truant pulling the fire alarm to get out of school. 

 

Wow. This is a long rant. Anyway, I may have lost faith in EA, but I do have faith in this group.

By the way, I learned a new use for the cannibal in the gaming industry. 

 

It's fans, like me, that are so pissed off and tired of **** being offered to them that we've become aggressive to our givers. IE. Me. I loved Bioware. I loved Dragon Age. I loved Mass Effect. I see Inquistion unfinished for the PC. I start a thread saying this is bad. I'm now a cannibal. Yeah... I'm painted as a degenerate, flesh-eating bottom feeder who is overly entitled. 

 

BWAmelia and all those other douchebags... GO FIND A JOB ELSEWHERE YOU HACK. Sell insurance, sell mortgages or sell meth. Just go away. You're the cancer. Not me.

Oh yeah, another point. The gaming industry is worth a lot of money and has gotten the attention of Congress and lobbyists who now see the industry as their new trough/toilet. Sony hired Rev. Al Sharpton for advice? GamerGate? Want to see a new tax coming across the horizon? You will. Because of the complexity of the internet and various laws regarding it's independence, there are shysters in my government wanting to tax anything that is made outside of the US to keep local industries in business. Instead of letting the market decide, we have high-powered lawyers and legislators doing their best to increase the purchase price of games through taxes. What do these taxes do? Not a damn thing. They're just there to fill coffers and dissuade you, the consumer, from buying foreign goods. Basically, they're legislating us into a direction where the gaming industry is no different from the automotive one. Alright, enough doom and gloom...

Last I heard about the tablet sales is that they are going down. And with the current "weakness" of the 30-fps-900p-"next-gen"-consoles I'd say the PC is pretty strong right now.

 

Of course, f2p games are here to stay, that's pretty obvious. But we can always pick out the cherries, like Dreadnaught, and ignore the silly ones. ^^

To give where credit is due, not all but many of the games on PS4 does 1080p at 30 fps thanks to the HSA/DDR5 memory. I'm not sure why they decided to pair essentially a 8 core Kabini processor clocked at 1.6 ghz with basically a mobile Radeon 7790 but I'm gonna guess it was due to power/heat requirements.

I do hope you are going to remain here with us :-)
It would not be the same, without our leader who wants to create a real game together:-)

Me I say it like it is, I cannot tolerate someone coming in my face and tell me that I am a game Elitist and that DAI is the best game ever created and not respond in a semi pissed off mood :-)

And that is coming from a guy maybe in his 26 to 29 age so he prefers consoles over PC and would not know an RPG if it fell on him from the sky :-)

I own a Ipad 4th generation with A8X CPU / GPU and I have played games on it :-)
The offerings on tablets is junk games that plays real bad due to the touch screen interface :-
And they are all micro transactions games, I do not see the tablet gaming market making big strides :-)
I love this group and by banding together we can make a difference:-)

Hugs to all

The unwashed, the unwanted, but the real gamers :-)

IIRC last generation consoles were sold for a price that was under the production cost / hardware value for several years in order to "overcome" the competition.

 

This time consoles have rather standard or even old hardware, prices are reasonable or maybe even too high considering the hardware. So they earn money since they sold the first one I guess.

 

And now with rumors about 4k upgrades in 2015 I see where this is going. Console upgrades. Probably not the kind you can do yourself, rather the kind "buy the new console version" lol. If they really do it this way, downwards compatiblity is a must have and I guess this should work.

 

So instead of creating a console generation that lasts a decade with only a few modifications they build one that works for a year or two, then you need an upgrade. I guess that actually a good idea from a business standpoint, not investing money into a potential which only fully unfolds after many years, but is rather used completely right off the start, then gets replaced when outdated. ^^

Next time a girl tells you that size and quality is important believe her :-)
In this case that would be me :-)
Guess you had to check with the boys :-)
No need for me to say it :-)
I told you so :-)
Hugs little GODzilla :-)
Now fetch yourself a big PSU in the silver quality and above platinum is even better :-)
Mine is 1.2KW Gold :-)
So do not tell me oh electric bill and all that stuff :-)
Want to play with big toys, you need good power :-)
Still my little friend :-)
BTW got my GTX 980 in my machine now and it kicks ass :-)

I have a 1300W Gold maybe we could make a 2500W double Gold Baby lol.

 

On a slightly less saucy note the record holding overclocker 8Pack has worked in conjuction with Superflower(EVGA Rebrand) to release a 2000W Platinum PSU.
