At roughly three tyms the price? Dat won't happen. Atleast for us in africa. It's not greed, it da fact dat I shudn't have to stay gameless cos I cannot cough up three tyms the actual price ( due to exchange rate) to buy a game dat myt even suck or not run well on my pc.
Thats why i prefer to buy off Origin most times as the currency is in Rands. That one still make sense. But Steam is always in dollars and except if they are doing sales sef, u could go bankrupt buying from them.


And GTA V seems to be badly optimized. I wont even try playing it until i get a better PC

Misinformation, even if it's jux speculating is very bad. U either know and help the guy or u don't and tell him dat u don't know. To my best knowledge ea has released atleast 4 updates for the game.

Don't take offense man
The updates EA released are only for the purchased version. I doubt if u can see it anywhere online to dload and use for the cracked version. I tried patching my cracked Fifa 14 last yr and i searched for months but couldn't find anywhere i could get the direct download for the updates. But i sand to be corrected tho. Have u tried patching ur fifa 15

Ur post didn't tell me what this post is.

" I doubt fifa has any updates ooo" tells me dat u believe , be it original or pirated version, EA hasn't released any updates.

Even then always look to moddingway as the find ways to incoporate the official patches into their own patches plus other mods into one full patch (fifa 15 version is 1gb)

And yes I have....the gameplay is a tard faster than before even on normal speed. Defending got a bit easier too. New transfers etc

You are a South African ain't you? What's the exchange rate for the dollar to the rand?

The 3tyms price approximation was for the naira. I'm ghanaian and the cedi is actually 4tyms the rate. I must be filthy rich or desperate to actually buy games in the near future

Gta v I heard was very well optimised from most user reviews. It's mk x dats poor optimised tho....so I'm surprised at what u are saying.

Lol. I'm Nigerian. 1 rand is like 16 naira as opposed to the naira-dollar ratio. So it pays sometimes to buy off Origin. Besides my Origin was automatically set to operate in Rands. I guess thats because SA is the only African country recognised by Origin. But $1 = 4Cedi. The exchange rate is better for u guys. Here $1 = 199 naira. Which is why i can never buy anything in dollars online.

Not a touchscreen system. The 4 Gb GTX 850M is overkill for a 1366 by 768 resolution. It should handle games out from now till next 4 years.

Currently plays Unity, Advanced Warfare and others in ultra with Anti-aliasing, Ambient Occlusion and others turned on.

as far its laptop..I don't gbadu it for gaming ( unless for d fact of its mobility) the wisest thing is buy parts ..assemble your rig...hook it up to a decent 1080p TV via HDMI...ur friends with PS4 and xbox1 will be on par with u or below...

1cedi=52naira. I find it hard to believe the naira has more value than the cedi according to this

The exchange rate of one currency to another doesn't determine its value bro, whereas buying stuff in dollars in Nigeria requires you exchange directly, in the case of cedis, the same price is actually multiplied, according to Kimco by three.

To the best of my knowledge, if ur internet speed is too slow, say if ur average speed is below 1Mbps, ur PING ll be too high, which also means ur LATENCY will be high. Ur game ll take longer to communicate with servers and therefore result in ur game lagging even if ur PC meets the recommended specs of the game. And true logging into Origin everytime i want to play even in offline mode can be annoying. angry

I had the same internet problems and i had to change ISPs a couple of times when i realised using my MTN modem was not enough to game online.

I played a couple of Ghanians online so i thought one of em could ve been u. Thats why i asked.

As for been broke, no be only u o sad Na God go provide smiley

That is actually not what ping is, your ping doesn't really have anything to do with your speed. What your ping is is how long it takes for your say router to connect to your network server, if your ping is low and say you start a download, you see it begin immediately but with a higher ping, your connection seems to "lag" before the download actually starts. So in online gaming, longer pings translate to gaming lags whereas your actions only happen after a few seconds of actually applying them.
You were right on the second part though, higher pings lead to lags.

so even tho 4cedis= 208 naira...to the dollar it's 4 tyms the cedis. and it's easier to gain a dollar in the usa dan gain a cedi in ghana. goes to show you.

The most reasonabĀ£e one yet.

Other pc gamers actually believe that if a game doesn't require extremely heavy hardware (980 gtx and 970) for ultra at 1080p then they aren't using the pc hardware well enough. I'm starting to hate pc gaming, I tell u.

its called "next gen".. Which is tallying with pS4 and xbox one...unless u want to be playing ps3 grade games on ur pc...980 gtx and co are built to imitate the PS4 and Xbox one capability on PC...lol..change is expensive especially if u want to be up to date...du u know how much it will cost u to build a pc that can handle the new batman at ultra?? Over 200K...(Where as a PS4 retails for half or less)...just a 4gig nvidia graphics card is like $500 or more ...(Which is a benchmark for 4K gaming) and yeah u neeed a 4K tv to push out those pictures...4K TV's are exxppeennssiivvee!!!!! The new bat man sef their minimum processor na core i5...hw is core i5 minimum biko...which means days of core i3 are numbered sef...to cut long story short...cut your coat to your size..

Dear sir...an r270x and a 7870 hd card is much powerful than the gpu in ps4. So don't exaggerate. The 980 gtx and 970 gtx are the first full dx 12 capable cards out now, oh and the 960gtx too. The ones in the ps4 are partially capable. The cpu combined are still weak against the i3 at 3.4ghz even. Those specs are either inflated or the games are poorly optimised. Nothing to do with next gen. Besides tell me, what has next gen games done dat make them so much better except lighting techniques and bigger textures that have only resulted in bigger games? Can u honestly tell me that the diff between last gen and this gen is like dat of ps2 - ps3/xbox 360? Don't jux eat stuff up man...

And oh 4gb for 4k? I don't think so. 2k at ultra eats 4gb up like no tomorrow.

I call utter bullshit, there are $400 gaming PC's built to be more powerful than a ps4 or Xbox one, current gen games are simply being non-optimally ported probably to push sales of higher end hardware not to mention that the ps4 and Xbox one generally only push 720p content. Where you got your 4k info is a complete surprise. Do you even know the specs of the PS4? The specs would generally tally with a core2quad processor and a 3rd Gen core i3 with a less than medium range Nvidia or AMD GPU. Please do research before you come to conclusions based on hype.
