I've never bought a prebuilt computer and then added/replaced parts, I've always just built mine from the ground up. However LinusTechTips recently released a video about how nowadays it's actually become much more competitive with both price and performance when comparing a pre-built PC and a custom PC of similar specs. I still think I'll continue to build my own PCs though. Nothing is more satisfying than starting up a freshly built water-cooled computer for the first time.

I've built PCs since the mid 80's (8088 turbo or 80286 anyone?) so I'm right there with you. I started doing it to save money, but its hard to do that any longer (as you mention). Still it is satisfying to know I can field strip one if I need to and modding a part here, a part there to tweak it is always fun. I'll probably build my next one rather than buy because I want dual video cards, and you can't really buy that off the shelf.

This has just come to my attention. Look at the size of the world!!
The game play demo vocals are useless and superfluous but what can one expect from an official demo? This looks like a game that might actually benefit from co-op.

Ehhh, Ubisoft has been letting me down for a long time. I have very little hopes for any game they make.

Game design based on system capabilities is bad game design. Making a game big doesn't make it good.

I agree but there is a small possibility that Ubisoft might get it right.
Case in point. I thoroughly enjoyed Just Cause 3. It wasn't much of game; it was very repetitive but I liked it all the same. It was fun. The fact that it was just one huge map added to its appeal for me.

I am a completist. Hence the infinite worlds just make the game unsatisfying.

Yea, so am I, which is why it takes me months to play some of the games. I'm also burdened with not liking to play two different games at the same time, so right now my Steam list probably carries me through retirement.
