Re: Building a PC

I've heard that Nvidia is better in terms of support (PhysX, GeForce, etc), but does that make up for the extra 5-10 fps? Thoughts? If your monitor caps at 60fps then that's all you're shooting for and both of these cards will reach that on pretty much any modern game you throw at it. It doesn't ma...

Re: Building a PC

I'm a big fan of Nvidia GPU's and services so I'm biased, but you should look into all the features when considering these cards, don't just compare hardware stats. GeForce Experience and ShadowPlay are available for all modern Nvidia GPU's. It makes proper game settings & recording/streaming su...

Re: Building a PC

If you haven't already, try http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/ - good community of people willing to review and give options/alternatives; often pretty good at staying within budget. Also make sure you specify any regional or retailer restrictions (like if you prefer to buy from some companies, can't...

Re: Killing Floor 2 Announced - Early Access Coming

I won't be getting it right away- too much travel, not much game time over the next couple of months. The game's gonna be pretty sick- much improved over the original. This berserker video got me pretty excited for the melee improvements.

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront

6. they refuse to touch space fighting at this time [...] I have a hard time believing it's not going to exist because there are star destroyers in every damn scene. Possibly DLC again? With the popularity of the X-Wing games, it wouldn't surprise me if Disney plans to reboot that IP as a separate ...

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront

Hate to be that guy, but there was zero gameplay in that teaser. It coulda been a promo for any number of the Star Wars animated series. No huds, no info, no first person. Just a lot of generic action shots of things that might make it into the game. That said- it was all original trilogy stuff (Hot...

Re: BF4 Bullshit

I think 14% of players is still pretty impressive after 18 months these days. I agree, it's actually not bad as player retention goes and 3.7 million is a pretty good base of players for any game (though I'm sure that population is split between PC & 4 consoles). I'm sure the execs love it: no ...

Re: BF4 Bullshit

18 months after release only 14% of BF4 buyers are still active... but that's still 3.7 million players.

Re: Some guy hacked Halo Online Beta and released it for all

"[The hackers] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." I'm all for a Halo release for the PC as much as the next guy, but the Russian P2W game isn't exactly that. I think I'll pass. I have a lot of great shooters on PC already; I d...

Re: Timing

Yesterday seemed off in a lot of ways. After skipping a week and clock changes I think everything just missed by a little bit. Sure late or missing announcements made it confusing, but I wasn't at the top of my game either. I don't come to GC to play against a clock, I come to play for fun. A little...

Re: i just had that once in a life time idea

Is there a public Page for GC as well? Like the ones businesses use to post public messages. I recommend we set up one of those while we're at it; just to make GC easier to find & act as another place to make public announcements (echo the twitter content essentially).

Re: i just had that once in a life time idea

I dig it. Another gaming group I'm a part of dropped the website forum years ago to use a (private) Facebook group instead. Nobody checked the website, but everybody checks their Facebook. It's a good way of making announcements & brief discussion. To be clear: I'm not suggesting we drop the for...

Re: 1st World problems

Sounds like your network has a bad connection to Origin's download servers. It's probably trying to connect you to whatever American server it thinks is your home. Try flushing your DNS first (make sure Origin is closed, flush DNS, reboot). It's a long shot, but you could try changing your DNS which...
