Honestly, screw the start menu/RT hate. Windows 8.1 is a beast of an OS. Extremely efficient in using resources of the computer. I get the start menu hate but the actual operating system is a vast improvement of windows 7. Only minor driver issues I have had to deal with is the only negative thing I can say, but those will get fixed quickly. A couple already have.
Lol. Well now I have to find out a cheap(free) way to upgrade

Basically the same.


what i dont get is there is many different versions from different companies...Like whats the difference between GIGABYTES R9 and Asus R9? or Saphire 7970 and XFX 7970? This is where i get confused when buying one.

Not much difference, just take a look at how the layout of the card is (for example the fan) and of course their history with RMA.

I would go with Sapphire if prices are equal.

very underrated game. Way more ambitious than Far Cry 3.

I only played the PC version for a little while, but I loved it on the 360.

yeah, I like it more than FC3 overall (I played FC3 first). although FC3 improved many things, it also had too much handholding, and lost a lot of the 'openness' of FC2

I need to get a screenshot of the fire in action in FC2 :ohlawd:

Crysis is sort of open world in the beginning, but overall it's a pretty linear game. you just have a lot of options as to how you want to do something, but there's not really side-missions, collectables, or stuff like that. you should check it out though. it's a good game, that's still visually impressive

and yeah, Crysis 3 does a good job of showing off their new engine. they take every opportunity to put a spinning red light in a smokey room and shyt
