I'm pretty surprised Freespace 2 isn't on there, as it was the nail in the coffin of its genre. Best of class game, but apparently it sold about 30K copies.

I kept hoping Volition would do the same thing with SpreeFace and the evil Ghivans, but it never happened.

Actually you bring up a good point. This was it's sale week (Tu-Thur, $39.99) and it didn't retain #1? I'm surprised!

Is this a problem with all nvidia cards, or just some of them? I was just considering shopping for a new card, but I definitely don't want one that's going to mess up FF for me. Would go with AMD for sure if that's the case.

I finally just made Chrome my default browser the other day. Firefox causes my video card to crash regularly with the nvidia VPU recovery nonsense.

28% must be averaged out over a period of time. Right after the floods prices doubled in some cases. Mechanical hdds that is, SSDs weren't affected.

i misunderstood the gabe quote. but you are trying to downplay the data theft. they notified us of the forums breach within 4-5 days. not the data theft.

Flatline wrote on Feb 11, 2012, 03:23:
Dude, this breach happened THREE YEARS AGO and they just "found out about it" in the recent past. Which is, to put it mildly, a cock-up of epic proportions.

I'm pretty sure the breach is the reason my Steam account has been attempted to be hacked. I have seen emails from Steam with the steamguard authentication code so the kiddies (not gonna dignify them as hackers) are apparently trying to brute force accounts and see if they get lucky with 1) a weak password and 2) steam guard not enabled.

only a couple of serious bugs? and you are OK with that? like the one that destroys your saved games on PS3?

the only thing skyrim has going for it is that its another chapter in TES, and that all of the other similar games have been even worse.

I'm level 36 conjuration100/destruction100 mage and im still waiting for it to be fun. I feel like that after I completed the first dungeon crawl saw just about everything there was to see.

Yeah, sure its better, but compared to something like dragons dogma - where to combat itself is actually fun then skyrim fails big time.

skyrim also lacks a lot of the RPG features that made TES:DaggerFall so much fun. as it stands skyrim to me feels like a bland action game with a few tech trees.

A bug infested game wins GOTY. I remember when only PC games suffered from this (actually I remember when even PC games had to work properly out of the box)and console games had to work. Now that console games can be patched too they are pushed out the door incomplete. Gamers sure are suckers for punishment, amazes me how this is considered normal AND acceptable now.

The tragedy of Skyrim is in its potential. It's a great game as is, but they could have done a lot more with it, especially in the story department.

Still, when you look at the competition, you can appreciate the things that Skyrim does right.

Considering how many people have disproved the "you have to have a $1000+ rig to game on" line, I'm surprised you're still parroting it.

will see a majority of these things in DLC, or even some inspired mods.

But those flags are happening on a per-texture basis, right? Or is it more general than that?

Creston wrote on Feb 7, 2012, 22:45:
Is that what's happening, or is it just a case of the bsa overriding everything in the "data" folder?

Though now that I think about it, that's exactly the opposite of the way that Bethesda's games normally work... Hmmm, weird. Don't know why Beth would deliberately break a ton of texture mods that way...
