I might have to get a PS3 for this. One of the few console games that can be called a true HD game. 1080p and 60FPS is really great, especially for a console notorious for 720p 30FPS standard.
I don't think I'd touch Nascar though.. lol who wants to make infinite left turns for 30 minutes?
The menu is a little bit cluttered though.. I like GRID's menu system a lot and wish more games would have that minimalist styling instead of a bunch of crap th...
Oh boy, here we go.
Update your drivers. Easy fix.
I'm gonna guess that it's gonna flop pretty hard. I might have to eat my words though.
GFWL is a nightmare, any PC gamer will tell you that. It is one of the most hated and broken distribution services known to man. I don't care if they have games exclusive to GFWL marketplace, I won't buy them.
ZOTAC makes really good cards, their AMP! editions have really great cooling. Nihilism, you should have went the extra mile buddy :3
I'm glad he's enjoying his nvidia card. I've had one ATI card and it was nothing but trouble, this was a while ago, before I got my first nvidia card, 8800GT. Since then I've always used nvidia. 9800GT, 9800GTX. Hopefully I'll be upgrading to a 480 soon and by the time I'll have enough saved up 580 might be out. The futu...

No single or dual card setup on the face of the planet can run Metro 2033 completely maxed. DX11 with High Tessellation and Advanced DOF brings GTX 480 SLI to it's knees, reviewers don't even bother with Advanced DOF because it brings the game to an unplayable framerate. I have yet to see a benchmark where Metro has Adv. DOF turned on. People just don't bother with it. So technically, the game isn't maxed yet. Maybe with a 3 way SLI set-up you&#...
I disagree. The most important part of a computer is the PSU. Way underrated and overlooked component of a PC. If your components aren't getting good clean power than your chances of a component frying are higher. I got a no name generic ol PSU and my computer wouldn't even start. then I got my Corsair and put it in and it worked fine. I could skimp on most any other components but not on PSUs. That's why I only use the best, Corsair. Their PSUs are unmatched in quality and effici...
Gigabyte is good too.

If you want your games to look better bump the AA. The 460 and pretty much all nvidia cards handle AA much better than ATI can, and nvidia stomps all over ATI in Tessellation. SLI drivers are far ahead of ATI Crissfire-X so you'd get a pretty big increase in performance, just make sure your case has plenty of airflow. Add a few Yate Loons, Noctuas, or Thermaltake fans in there and you'd be set.

Yep ASUS is my preferred mobo manufacturer. Their top notch quality boards and customer support makes me go back to them. HE could;ve gotten a better PSU though, OCZ isn't one of the greatest. I'd go with Corsair.
Overall good build. I'm a little worried that he didn't get a CPU cooler though.. stock coolers are absolute crap.
I played the 360 version and the PC version, the PC one was a nightmare. Took up too many resources and still looked and played like crap. Literally started it and ragequit within 15 minutes. I didn't get far in the 360 version because the story was just so bland. But hey, to each his own. Hopefully they'll get the PC version done right next time, until then I'm staying away from Rockstar games.
I want to see an actual good game.. GTA4 was shit. Poorly optimized, low res textures, shitty AF, no AA whatsoever, the most boring story of all the GTA games and probably the whole Rockstar library. Everything about GTA 4 makes me want to vomit. It definitely doesn't deserve the praise it got.
Hopefully Rockstar can regain my faith. I loved Vice City and San Andreas, but 4 was just an absolute mind fuck.
I'm willing to bet they'll charge $60 on Steam. I refuse to buy a standard edition game that's over the $50 archetype for PC games. Console gamers can get raped in the butt for cash but I won't stand for it.
Yeah I play gg pretty much religiously as well. 1. Because I can't surf for shit, 2. Deathmatch is just too boring and repetitive, 3. I pretty much fail at planting explosives, and 4. I couldn't give a rats ass about hostages. I play scout knives as well, that and gg are the most fun imo.
Not to sound like a hipster or anything, but things like gg where only a select few know about it makes it even more fun. aka "I liked it before it became popular" :3 lmao....
I remember ages ago in grade school, teachers would always say that Iceland is green and Greenland is ice. Is this true?
Go to the forums and we'll help you there, it's more than just a 5 bubble conversation. 3 in my case.. :3
ROFL this is ripped straight out of CS:S. Way to be original.. it's alright though since I love GGMD which this basically is. Mods + GG = win. Reverse gungame is more fun though, since you start off with a good gun and then work your way to pistols, then grenades, then knives. GG is great because it gets you familiar with every weapon. Guns are rewarded by kills, more kills, better guns. The point of the game is to get to the highest level, and then the round is over. In CS:S knives are a...
Damn I've been waiting to lean for a long time.

I didn't know people actually took desctructoid seriously. At first I thought the whole site was just trolling for the lulz.
The man speaks truth. If you can't handle the heat get the fuck out the kitchen. Kids can easily buy movies with gratuitous violence or sex, but when it comes to gaming everybody acts like it's the devil. People need to grow up and realize that gaming isn't just for kids anymore.
SONY products tend to look "cheap" in general.. their laptop lines are atrocious.
