I just beat Bioshock Infinite

Sooo good

Gave it a 93 out of 100.

I tired playing it on psnow. Don't try to play it there.

Lag? lol

It was a bit too "far out" for me. The twist at the end fell flat.


Really liked the game's feeling though.

It was awesome - everything about the storyline I loved it :O

Though the combat was easy imo until when you get to the DLCs where its actually challenging.

Something with their prediction software. It would over and under turn the character constantly.  Made gun battles impossible.

Storyline is incredible  but gameplay gets repetitive

Have you played the DLCs?

Episode 2 Burial At Sea DLC was really good because majority of the game was stealth - I really liked it lol.

Have you played the DLCs?

Nah

[BasilZero]

Nah

The DLCs are cool!

The first one plays like Bioshock 1 and the second one plays like a stealth horror game.

Which is better?

Dell - Inspiron 15 7000 Series, Performance Multi-Media Laptop | Dell Canada

Asus - ASUS ROG GL551JW-WH71(WX) 15.6-Inch Laptop: Amazon.ca: Computers & Tablets

I see they both have the same GPU but the dell has 4 GB and the Asus has 2 GB. Does that really make that big of a difference? I also see that the CPU is much better in the Asus model...What do you guys think?

I'm far from even the step below expert, but 2gb of ram sounds really low.

I would say the Asus one cause the hardware is more reliable than Dell but that Dell laptop has a better GPU in terms of the memory. 4 GB over 2GB is a no brainer.

But dang the Asus laptop has a better CPU :x - a i7 over a i5. But the GHz for both is 2.6 yet you can clock the i5 to a 3.2.

@Pezus - we need yo advice :O

Here I thought you were saying it had 2gb ram.  I was like oh wow, avoid them!!!! But for the GPU, it sounds like there's only a slight difference for most games.  Some are making the case that 4gb is much better though, so maybe go for that.

4 gb or 2gb, gets a little tricky with lower end cards.  The 960 is kinda in the middle where I'm not sure if it'll be able to push 4gb even though it has it.  
But it might be able to.  

The i7 looks like its definitely better.

Oh he's listing vram!!!!

Crisis averted!

Glad I wasn't the only one to get that impression.  

2 GB RAM is like really really low.   Avoid like the plague, unless it's like a phone or tablet...  
Or a really cheap older PC.  

[Dr. Pezus]

I'd get the Asus. They seem really similar. You don't really need 4GB video memory for 15 inches imo. Plus, I think the CPU is slightly better in the Asus one.
Asus has been more reliable in my experience

both have 8GB RAM. It's 4 vs. 2 VRAM
