    Geforce GTX Titan - First Pics & True Specs

    Thanks for the response. So, basically, this is a completely different "alien tech super computer" GPU that has absolutely nothing to do with the 780... it's like a "standalone/one-off" release kind of thing? Is the Titan based of a different architecture that makes it different from what...

    Geforce GTX Titan - First Pics & True Specs

    I'm sorry, I couldn't read through the whole thread... can someone give me the lowdown on this thing? Is it better than what the 780's are supposed to be? What in the hell makes this thing worth $1k? It's not dual PCB from the quick I got at it (or is it?)... ...and if it's their next...

    SimCity V (2013) - screens/artwork and information

    ^^This, all of it. On another note, the beta left me with some weird friggin' impressions, and even contradictory ones. It gives the impression of openness, but I can definitively say that the 2km maps feel way too restrictive. Especially with the way that you're forced to design your...

    Crysis 3

    I actually thought the commercial was a good approach in the devs not taking themselves too seriously. Crysis is not a "deep" game, it's always meant to be a shallow shooter. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing since it does it well. So, for a top-of-the-line, empty, shallow...

    Corsair Hydro Series H80i and H100i CPU Cooler Review @ [H]

    I get the same temps on a stock i7950 with the Antec Kuhler 920 as the H100i with your test set-up. Is there a comparison to be made there? Relatively the same performance ratio?

    SimCity V (2013) - screens/artwork and information

    I see where they could be coming from with that, but as for trying to make it more "accessible" due to people running "crappy systems", isn't reason to limit a game they way they have. Then people need to upgrade. They also used the cloud issue as an excuse as well, which is just nonsense...

    Dayz Standalone

    Thank you! Man, always nice to get a response from someone who understands what the hell you're talking about and understands that you understand what the hell you're talking about, without twisting words, intentionally picking out parts of what you've said and casting it in the light of a...

    Aliens; Colonial Marines a Sci/Fi L4D ?

    Astounding intellectual prowess... how witty... maybe you should go have a chat with the baboons. Why don't you point to any proof, after having watched the footage, where you see anything that lends to this being a good game/gaming experience. Or do you prefer to just troll? Perhaps you...

    Dayz Standalone

    I never said nor insinuated I wanted a single player game. Don't twist my words. I'm pointing out inconsistencies regarding his statements and the direction of the game, and the fact that the zombies should be a more prominent aspect. As for the comment of "working on the game or making...

    Aliens; Colonial Marines a Sci/Fi L4D ?

    What's asinine is watching something that clearly gives a distinct impression of how bland, uninspired and boring a game is, and defending it to death, simply because you want it to be good. AvP was a piece of shit. It's irrelevant. There's supposed to be moments when it's slow, in the...

    Almost nine minutes of that video is about fucking hoodies... what the hell is wrong with this guy? You know, I just have never understood Rocket's mentality... he's limiting both himself and the game, by forcing through working with an engine and design that's taking him a 100x's the work...

    Man, wtf are you smoking... or are you just that hardcore in denial of what you're looking at? The "hard evidence" IS the footage. Christ. Oh, look... people who's vision and perceptions are rational and functional: Guess I'm not the only one who has working eyes, a working brain and...

    Aliens; Colonial Marines a Sci/Fi L4D ?

    Honestly, it's that kind of mentality in the face of things that are blatantly obvious, that makes for the point of willful blindness being proven. Yours is not a "voice of reason"; look at the evidence. I'm being impartial. I don't just throw judgments around and I appreciate things for what...

    Aliens; Colonial Marines a Sci/Fi L4D ?

    There's no atmosphere, never mind going to bring back any atmosphere. I think people are far too often willfully blind (not directed as quoted person, but in general). I'm the biggest Alien freak in the known Universe, but despite how good the Aliens themselves look, despite desperately...

    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    Honestly, I cant speak from personal experience, due to never having played WoW. However, what I can say honestly is that GW2 does not have any staying power, nor the same aesthetic or nostalgia of something such as WoW, which is a judgment I can make, having watched for countless years, how...

    Dead Space 3 Today

    Hey, thanks man. I actually set it to 1.4 but I don't notice anything looking too small, so either it didn't take or it just visually looks different because we're running different resolutions or something. Game is actually fun, feels good, tight controls. I will say there's basically no...

    Elder Scrolls Online is not a generic MMORPG

    I am optimistic, and indeed looking forward to ES:O, even though I'm not particularly a huge fan the TES lore, though I liked the worlds a lot. ES:O looks like is has some solid mechanics in terms of skills, world systems and general gameplay, as well as looks great visually. The "high-chin"...

    Elder Scrolls Online is not a generic MMORPG

    Is that supposed to be a joke? GW2 is fucking horrible. It's an empty shell of a game, beautiful on the outside, empty on the inside. For a game that touted so much "freedom", it has more leashes shoved up your ass than I can shake a stick at, starting with the absurd skill system. In...

    Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

    There's a reason why the Greeks and the Romans, and even those before them, enjoyed the pleasure of the brown eye. Don't knock it until you've tried it, and it's not disgusting if done right. I'm not saying I agree with hearing the same annoying memes being used over and over, I'm just...

    Voting Limit On YouTube? (Gaming Vids)

    Since I'm talking about gaming vids and there's a ton of people here making vids, thought I'd ask. Is there a limit to how many times you can vote-up ("like") videos on YT? After voting so many times that they stop counting after a certain number. I'm subscribed to a lot of gaming...

    The War Z - Zombie Survival MMO

    Holy hell! You've got to be kidding me! It's not even a "game" in it's current state, not to mention I'm shocked to shit that Valve would even do business with these fuckers, given how much proof there's been regarding the fact that it's basically been an outright scam, a way just to make a...

    The War Z - Zombie Survival MMO

    Not even close, my friend. I've played for two months, until it got so bad with incredibly inappropriate dev behavior, unwarranted and unfair bannings both on the forums and, worse, even in the game itself, which we all paid to play, the devs being caught in outright lies about there being...

    TheWarZ Devs - Are They Nuts, Or What!?

    Uh, people are seriously, again, missing the point. The problem is NOT the anti-cheat system - the problem is that they're leaving a 15% "false positive" chance for innocent people to be banned, and putting the rest of the decision in the hands of completely incompetent people. Do you get...

    WarZ is the worst game I have ever played discussion thread

    Well, "technically" there is incentive... if you're a bandit, it will make it more difficult to survive in the world in numerous ways. Once safe zone AI is implemented, they will shoot at bandits on-sight. Bandits will have much fewer of their own safe zones, which I'm sure will also be far...

    WarZ is the worst game I have ever played discussion thread

    Three hours of gameplay, here's my feedback: I bit the bullet on this after having followed it for a while, and despite a lot of the hating on the game, I have to say that I'm actually liking it a lot. One thing I don't get it some of the really low-res textures. They could have pushed things...

    Sleeping Dogs

    Thanks for the quick feedback. Am a little confused regarding all the "extra stuff" to do in-game that people keep referring to, though. Sounds like it could be fun, but you've stated it can get a bit repetitive. Are there other things to do as well? Sounds like people are having a...

    Sleeping Dogs

    I've a few questions, for those who can answer, since so many seem to have high praise: • How much gunplay is actually in the game and how is it in general? • Since it seems like predominantly melee, is it any less enjoyable without more gunplay? • Does the melee actually feel...

    No problem, heh, you almost had me confused there for a second. I thought something was added that I missed, but yeah, there's just the two different modes. The three different playthrough options are related to actually how you play through the actual dungeon.

    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    Right on all accounts, but what "4 difficulty modes" are you referring to? I only know of two modes in-game: story mode that stays consistent with your level so difficulty is balanced, and explorable mode that's more difficult.
