    That's likely the reason, I've only got a q9550 at 3.6GHz. Makes me wish this game was more dependent on the GPU.

    Meh, any "god" that has powers short of omnipotence and omniscience is merely an alien being to me. Or possibly an unchanging force that can not react to or cause any sort of change in the universe (i.e. they are stuck repeating the actions detailed in their stories forever ala the Norse gods in Top 10).

    That's only if you disable the Ultra Details. I run these settings, and while Heroside rarely dips below 60FPS, Villainside and Praetoria will dip into the low 20s.

    Especially since only the leader gets the story.
  5. I was also holding out for the Gigabyte SOC version, but got tired of waiting for it too.

    Fixed. I'd love to see scale sliders for shoulder and head details.

    Which brand? I'm rocking the MSI Twin Frozr II and it's got an insane cooler on it.
  8. Dark Melee/Regen, been sitting at lvl50 for years at this point.

    And hell, I think what most people want for the power pools is a "No FX" option, something that doesn't require new art.

If the quality of games for tablets was equal to the DS and PSP, I wouldn't care, but I don't think we're there yet. Pokemon would be nice on the iPad, though.
    If anything it'll reduce the amount of shovelware on the systems. The iPad simply can't play the type of DS and PSP games I like.
  11. We don't need no stinking Blade Runner remake, we need remakes of Arena, Robot Jox, Ice Pirates, etc...

    I'd rather have a netbook.
  13. We are getting the Vanguard costumes, but YMMV on that. I'm looking forward to that because for me it literally is a brand new costume set.
  14. I need /Rad damn it! At this point I only like two of the MM secondaries (Dark and Thermal) so I need another one that I'll actually play. Or changing the power customization color pools of Snowstorm and Freezing Rain to match the rest of Storm Summoning instead of being limited to light, pastel crap.

    from what i recall fluffies carry over the buffs you have when they spawn. so they get some hasten, eclipse etc. for some of their life.
    Minor nitpick, hasten wouldn't do anything due to pets not being affected by recharge buffs.
  17. The older zones and story arcs are in desperate need of an overhaul.

  19. Hey, it was marginally useful when it negated rooting.
  20. You've checked the global recharge in the combat attributes window?
  21. When translating a story/character from one visual medium to another I expect them to look similar, that includes skin color. Like it or not, but how a comic book character looks is just as important as their personality.

    Non-visual medium to a visual medium? Go nuts and use whoever fits (unless the story requires a character to be a certain phenotype or whatever).

    He has a GTS 250 though (essentially a re-branded 9800GTX+).

    Even LEGO has jumped on the Alien Invasion bandwagon.
