That's good to know. I got ram that is rated at 1066 so i should be able to up the FSB a decent amount. I'll start upping it by 5 and running memtest at nights and see how far i get :) And the multi was actually at 7. CPUZ said it was at 6 and then when i unzipped something or taxed the cpu at...

I just got everything set up and my bios says my cpu is running at 200x7 for 1.4Ghz speed. In windows I get this If i check the motherboards easy tuner I get this which makes NO sense that doesn't even add up right. So if i move the FSB down and then back up it recalculates I guess ...

There is definitely a difference. It helps with ambiance in games, but as far as "quality" it doesn't improve anything.

The witcher seems to be the most voted for so far. Like I said earlier I already played mass effect and oblivion. Has anyone played NWN2?

I played Mass Effect on 360 and I also played oblivion. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

I finally decided to upgrade my computer after a year or so and i'm looking for a good RPG game to play on my new comp. I was looking at Neverwinter Nights 2. The game looked good when it came out but I never got around to playing it. I know fallout 3 is good but I want to go back a while to...

Zippy/Emacs... I did a lot of research at the time and it seemed to be a good quality power supply for the money. Must not be well known anymore.

Ok I think the final build will be: E5200 GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 SAPPHIRE HD4830 512MB Here is my psu: Only 500 watts but has good amp ratings on the 12v rail which is why I got it. You think this will be ok for this build?

I will have to disassemble some stuff to check on the PSU but I think it's 600w. Also, I probably won't OC right away so I don't need the heatsink yet. This brings me under 300 which is very doable :)

That's almost what I picked on my own so at least I havn't gotten too rusty at this :) Do you think i could get away with this GPU? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102770

I'm looking to upgrade my desktop after a year or so of having stopped playing all together due to outdated specs. I currently have an athlon xp 3000+ with a 6800 vanilla and a gig of ram. It let me play games like tf2 at a decent rate but now it can't handle anything new and so it's been...

it's a great game. you do get a bigger bag and much better equiptment. the main thing that helps you is proper use of your skills. I havn't played in a while but I remember dual weilding with the proper swords was pretty devistating.

The strum bar on the new guitar barely clicks at all and the buttons are much more solid. The new guitar over all is very nice. The drums are more responsive then I expected having played the RB ones which missed quite often. I'm very happy with the quality of the equiptment for the price.

I'm going to have to give a vote to UT3 just for the sole reason that it was main complaint with the game and it was all I heard about on UT forums. If you want to see a horse beat to death just go back to when the game was released on any UT forum and watch the bitching. :(

I made a thread a while back on this topic. I chose LO and I am very happy with it. The story is a big part of the game, but it's a great story so far :)

It shutters quite a bit during certain cut scene parts and fight intros for me too and i'm on a CRT.

The dreams are pretty long stories and everytime he recalls a dream i think to myself "damn, now I have to read this story for 5-10 min", but when it's over it was always worth it. The stories told in the dreams are always top notch. At least, that has been my experience thus far.

This is pretty much what I did. The main strategy is to take out as many bugs as you can and hope that only 1 or 2 reappear at a time. If none charge the worm can never attack. I just attacked the bugs and was able to take out 2 per turn. Once I got rid of them all I would use jansen to start...

I've gotten 3 freezes in the first 4 hours of the game. I think it's my 360. Maybe it's getting too hot? If other people arn't having issues then it's probably not the game. The game is definitely starting to pick up and i'm liking it a lot. I just wish I could figure out why it's freezing so...

I just got it today and put in an hour so far. Pretty story driven in the beginning, but hopefully things will pick up. I'll give some more impressions when I have actually played a decent amount. All I can really comment on thus far is how good the combat in the cut scenes is :)

UT3. I have been a UT player for years and this was going to be the holy grail of online gaming for me. Epic (pun) disappointment. Maybe the biggest of all time for me. Supreme Commander was also pretty disappointing. It was kind of fun at first while I was learning the game, but after getting...

This happened to me a while back with forza 2. I tried one of the scratch removal kits from the stores and it didn't fix the problem for me. The read head makes a pretty deep scratch when this happens. Unless your local game store has some professional resurfacing equipment you might as well...

mass effect

I think I'm pretty sold on LO. I like a good story and didn't mind the pace of Mass Effect which some people complained is slow from dialog and had loading right in the middle of an area. So, a few 7 second loading sessions won't bother me. A lot of people didn't like the DMC4 demo, but I...

I just finished mass effect and was looking for a new game. It's between DMC4 and LO. Neither of these games genres have ever drug me in and I want to try something new. A few key questions to help with my decision. How deep is the combat in DMC4? Does it grow throughout the game letting you...

I was wondering if it was possible to save multiple characters at one time. I see there are about 10 save slots, but don't know if you can allocate certain ones for different campaigns. I would like to start a new character, but don't want to overwrite what I have already done.

The sniper video was more impressive than this. I don't feel any pro vibes hitting me while watching this.

CustomUT is great. I'm using v1a right now. I enjoy having hitsound confirmation even though epic did a better job in ut3 than 2k4 with hit recognition. I also like the fact that the skins are the same brightness as epics only with the ability to change color. The epic skins are plenty bright...

same I'm pretty sure manta rides were not even intended and were just a side effect. You still have a fighting chance if you have an avril. The dodge jump was removed for other reasons. The knockdowns on the hoverboard are for balance. Grappling is only worthless if the person driving is a...

Maybe you should take a little break from the game. :D

UT3. UT2k4 was well made, but the gameplay was very flawed in many areas. For DM, having the shield gun and hitscan dominant weapons made it a very defensive and boring game. For ONS, it was so linear and flawed in the fact that it was basically impossible to make a comeback. Once one team got...

gameplay?

You think it's bad now, you should play 2k4 onslaught. The hoverboard was made so you could get across maps a lot faster. If you feel like that is taking too long try and grapple to vehicles. If you are dying to fast when you get there then don't just barge in. You shouldn't be a hoverboard...

COD4 has a much bigger community by far, but I enjoy UT3 a lot more. I tried CoD4 and just couldn't get into it. I'm a fan of the fast intense type of online fps games. I can't really get enough of UT for some reason. If the UT3 community was larger it would be no contest imo, but even as a...

There is a reason the ps3 and 360 cost what they do. By the time something could come out and compete graphics wise at a lower price, ms and sony could probably afford to lower their prices as well.

This pretty much sealed the deal for me. Most of the RPG games I have played tend to keep me from playing them again because I have to go through so much repetitive combat just to get the character development that I want. I want to replay the game to see how I can build a different character...

I'm pretty sure the number of UT3 maps is similar to UT99. You can't compare any release with 2k4 in terms of maps since it was basically an extension of 2k3. I agree that it might be a TAD weak, but nothing to get worried about. This isn't xbox360 where everyone is sitting around speculating...

Why would you even want to play onslaught anyway? Warfare fixes everything that was crappy about onslaught. The orb actually allows comebacks to happen. It keeps the action going and gives the gametype more layers. The assault element allows each map to have special situations and everything...

Indeed. If you make a post boasting your skillz don't be suprised if you get some criticism.

Isn't this game supposed to be realistic? I counted at least 16 shots hitting you and you didn't die. The game looks like it's trying to be a tactical shooter, but failing hard. Also, the AI is standing right in front of you in the beginning while you stand still and they still can't hit you...
