Question The Division 2 - anyone into it?

I've dumped about 500 hours into The Division 1 and played The Division 2 for about 30 hours until WT4. It's a great game and it's generally superior to The Division 1. The graphics are better, the mechanics are better, the activities are better, etc. But the endgame has some issues and the meta...

Frequent, random crashing. Sound keeps playing. Very frustrating - please help!

Thanks for letting me know, VirtualLarry! It looks like you have a great product but I'm not really planning to invest much more into this platform, as it's getting pretty old (and my CPU isn't a particularly fantastic overclocker). I appreciate the offer, though.

Thanks, ron2368! I'll replace the motherboard and see what happens. I don't want to believe that the famed Silencer 750 Quad/SS-750JS would fail so early and on such a dinky computer, heh. Too bad the only 775 motherboards left are G41/G43/G45's. No el-cheapo X48 for me!

Frequent, random crashing. Sound keeps playing. Very frustrating - please help!

I'm pretty angry at my computer. I feel like punching it in the face, but it doesn't have one (and it's also kind of sharp and expensive) so I have to settle for pounding my fist on my desk every time a crash occurs. History: Computer was working fine for years but then it started restarting...

Crysis 3.....

I actually liked the single-player campaign quite a bit. Your suit had more power and thus there were more options available to you in clearing areas, especially with the nano-spore upgrades. You could run across entire areas in stealth mode and pick off enemies without uncloaking, for...

Arkham City on PC...HARD MODE

Actually, I believe the counter indicators are still present in hard mode; they're removed for New Game Plus (which is easier, in my opinion, as you start off with all of your gadgets/abilities). I've played through Arkham Asylum and Arkham City a few times with a mouse and keyboard and I've...

Which Game Has the Best Graphics of All Time?

Oops; I didn't see the "(Including Mods)" clause and voted for Crysis 2. That vote should have gone to Crysis, although the posted screenshot of The Witcher 2 looks incredible as well.

Serious Sam 3 on sale at steam

I agree with the others: Serious Sam 3 is incredibly fun. There's nothing like turning a corner after having fought your way through hordes of ridiculous enemies, only to find another horde of enemies twice in number. Pro-tip: Steam will recognize your game's serial number, no matter where...

How is Seagate/samsungs RMA procedures?

I'm currently in the middle of an RMA. I bought a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 (HD103SJ) in last August and it started to fail a few months later (random restarts, failing S.M.A.R.T. checks, etc.). I decided to exercise the warranty yesterday night and filled out the order form for an RMA on...

Not a PC gamer, but I might try one if...

For atmosphere, I recommend Prince of Persia (2008). Your character runs around the crumbling ruins of an abandoned civilization with a hot chick in a desperate attempt to save the world. Aside from the main bosses and a few enemies here and there, you and the girl are completely alone. The...

Unreal vs Cryengine vs Source vs id Tech vs Frostbite

Absolutely not. As of the time of this post, people appear to be voting based on their enjoyment of the games that are made with each engine. Agreed! :D

Games that should have had sequels

+1 to both Crimson Skies and Freespace 2. They were incredible when paired with a good force-feedback joystick (read: Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro) and I had a great time trying out the various planes/ships and weapons in either game. I also agree that Mirror's Edge needs a sequel...

CPU temps high all around, concerned...

I'm currently having the same problem with a G0 Q6600 and an old Cooler Master Hyper TX2 in a Cooler Master Centurion 5. Starting from yesterday, my computer kept restarting and I discovered that the CPU was reaching over 85 degrees! I cleaned and re-seated the heatsink with AS5 (also tinting...

Geforce 7950GT Overheating?

If those temperatures are correct, then they're too high. My 7900GT 512MB @ 560MHz/1510MHz (stock EVGA overclock, roughly 7950GT speeds) would idle at around 44C and top out at 80C on the one-slot reference cooler (cooled memory as well; looked like this...
