Favorite FPS Campaign
Pros: - Good Graphics (for when it came out) - Great soundtrack - Realistic Storyline - Uses places we actually heard of when the War on Terror started. - Explosions are awesome
Cons: - Multi-player was hard. I didn't try for very long, though. When I tried playing it with just my friends, it was a lot of fun (required leasing a game server) - No Private Matches
Poor QC, be sure to check your package within 30 days
Pros: Sounds great on paper
Cons: Never got to experience it.
Overall Review: Just had a baby (#4), and so it took me 32 days to open the package. This is my first time receiving a broken monitor from Newegg, and I felt absolutely sick when I saw the damage, because I knew I was probably past the return date. Guess I'm stuck using a 14 year old monitor for the foreseeable future. 😭 It's unfair to MSI, whose products I've enjoyed in the past, but it's impossible for me to give this a good rating, hence the 1 egg.
Card is great. Promotion (World of Warships) is stupid
Pros: -Powerful -Only uses 5 more watts than it's predecessor (GTX 970)
Cons: -Asus's promotion gives you a bonus in World of Warships, but to get it, you have to provide the PPID, which is only located on the card itself, by the PCI connectors. This is so stupid. I'm not going to pull my whole card out of my system again, just to get some number. It is a cop-out of a "bonus" on Asus's part.
High in features. LOW IN QUALITY. This keyboard is a rip-off.
Pros: The Logitech software is excellent. I love being able to create macros for both work and games. It has media keys, which I use extensively. It is backlit. It doesn't have sharp corners
Cons: POOR QUALITY. POOR QUALITY. POOR QUALITY. Before this keybaord, I've only had one key break on me in my whole life. After three weeks with this keyboard, I've already had two keys break on me. This is ridiculous for a $100+ keyboard. I bought an expensive keyboard for two reasons: I wanted features and I wanted quality. Getting it fixed it a joke. Read other reviewers. Logitech wants you to send the whole keyboard in so they can put on a couple keycaps. They want you to pay for shipping, and you'll be without your keyboard for weeks. Trying to reason with them is like trying to reasons with Siri. They just give textbook replies, and don't read your previous messages. If you want to fix it yourself, you can't pay for just the keys you need. You have to pay for an entire replacement set, which costs $25, not including shipping.
Overall Review: Is there any way to take legal action against Logitech on this?
WONDERFUL for the first month
Pros: *Perfect for students that love to game. *I upgraded to Vista 64-bit, and it runs great. *Can play Crysis on High quality with physics maxed (slightly glitchy. If played on Medium with physics maxed, really smooth) *Vista rating: *Processor - 5.3 *RAM - 5.9 *Graphics - 5.9 *Gaming Graphics - 5.8 *HDD - 5.5 *When on battery, can get almost 4 hours. *Has number pad *Comes with nice-looking laptop backpack which works fine for school (unless you are toting around 5 classes worth of books)
Cons: *Backpack started tearing at shoulder and between shoulders after first month *The material around the screen started buckling after a month, leading to it cracking at the corner!
Overall Review: There were other cons, but those are mostly covered by other reviews. These two cons were really bad. I am a very careful person and take good care of my things. I can understand the backpack ripping...who gives a really high quality backpack for free...but I can't forgive the crack. Maybe if I wasn't careful in handling it, I would, but I am extremely careful. This buckling and crack happened just through normal use. I don't pay $1300 to get a laptop from a company that claims to make high-quality equipment and expect to see a crack that quickly. If it wasn't for that, I would have given this laptop 6/5 eggs! I have absolutely loved it. It still works great, but I don't want a crack.
