Okay, I know I sad Bad Company Eats PCs for breakfast, but as is it turns out, NVIDIA was to blame, because I had installed the infamous 196.75, which caused many serious problems for GeForce graphics card owners all over the world. The drivers caused the cards to overheat and literally break down. As for me, I was cursing the developers of BC 2 (DICE), when I realized I had already installed the new drivers. As soon as I reverted to the previous NVIDIA drivers, the framerate returned to normal.
Just thought y'all should know.
Good morning, people. I've just been searching for some interesting news throughout the gaming community and I must say this whole disaster with Ubisoft's latest DRM has got me perplexed and worried.
Seriously, there are better ways to protect yourself from piracy than this. The France-based publisher seems to be convinced they are doing a good thing and yet with each day fans are getting increasingly pissed off.
I've enjoyed a lot of games from Ubisoft in the past and for that very reason I am shocked to see them go for such scheme. They should know better.
For the past three days I've been fiddling around with the PC version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and it looks like I'm the only one having severe framerate issues.
God damn it!
I've been reading all the reviews of the PC edition and not one reviewer had the decency to mention you really need a fucking high-end rig to run this thing properly. So, what, now everyone on the planet has a high-end rig? And if games are fucking hardware hogs they don't get bad points for it?
This is bullshit!
Now, someone should do a webcomic based on this news.
Little Red is obviously prepared do deal with not just one big bad wolf, but a whole bunch of 'em + a colossal boss wolf, I'm sure.
My eyes hurt. My head hurts. I feel sleepy and I don't even know what day it is. Yes, recently I made an important decision in my life - to replay Dragon Age: Origins on the PC, no matter what. My first playthrough was on the Xbox 360. However, the PC version is entirely different experience. I'm also playing the mage origin story, which is as difficult as it gets if you ask me.
Still, I like the challenge and it's definitely fun. The down side, of course, is that I never get to see my family and friends... in real life I mean.
We'll see how this little thing turns out. I hear they were inspired by the G1 cartoon series, which is nice.
Completed STALKER Call of Pripyat the other day and I'm a bit disappointed. For a game boasting such an truly convincing depiction of nuclear fallout, there's little to sink your teeth into in terms of storytelling.
Sill, I do appreciate what these guys keep doing with the art in the game. Depressing and realistic shit... a true nuclear wasteland.
I advise you try this one if nothing else.
Well, folks, March should be another fine month for gaming - Silent Hunter 5, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Supreme Commander 2, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 - Chaos Rising...
and... last but not least - Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, baby! Oh yeah!
Oh yeah, and there's that little game called God of War III.
The lovely weather outside is tempting. Really tempting. All nice, sunny and warm. Beautiful. I'm honestly tempted to go for a long stroll and just watch all the women, who have recognized that now is the perfect moment to start wearing less clothes. Yes, tempted I am.
The trouble is, I have to make an agonizing choice - lovely weather (various outdoor activities) or gaming. Hm, tough choice as always.
I choose gaming.
Didn't take too long.
