maximus asinus said: They really objectify women, don't they? But I guess that has been the gaming standard for years. From scantly clad (even in heavy armor) to misleading figures. It is funny, I never really paid attention to these things until my friend started talking about it; the gaming industry really is full of misogynist males. PS I hate sounding like a bleeding heart here.

I was thinking of giving TERA a whirl, but my gaming these days is super-sporadic - I might binge on a weekend, and then just lightly peck at a game on the weeknights, so along with all my other hobbies, I still can't convince myself to pay for a subscription MMO, even if it looks as visually-keen and action-fun as TERA. But what I am looking toward is Guild Wars 2, and I'm fearing that might have even harder-to-deal-with system reqs. I've made a few upgrades due to some stuff burning out in a power surge a few years back (main one being video card, an Nvidia 9800 GT, which has worked fine for all I've used it for but I don't think it'll be beefy enough for GW2) and just a few months ago I finally bumped from my original 2 GB of RAM to 6 GB. I've still got the original dual core 2.4 ghz processor, and I kinda feel like when the processor and/or motherboard aren't enough, that's the time to finally invest in a new system entirely - which I'd like to do in the next year or two (depending on available cash). But do you think I'd be able to make it for TERA or GW2 with what I've got now, or is it too old?
