You don't build an $800 PC just to use Tweetdeck on.

Thanks guy for the PC, now it's not like GT or a lot of other sites who just ignore it. :)

Edit: I like how the PC you built is so close to mine. :)

What res do you run in? 1080p?

Edit2: Oh 720p.

I never cared for RE games and this won't change my mind.
PC RULES and CONSOLES DROOL!

P.S. - Just kidding... or not.

I love me some PC Coverage.

Seems like he has a high sensitivity >.>

yeah when you can stand next to that many enemies and outwit them by, MOVING its not a good sign. I really don't get how this game gets so much credit. I couldn't complete the game because I simply got SICK of the amazingly bad controls. Great game if it wasn't for the Embarassing acting and story shoddy AI and next o unplayable controls.

I'd like to see retrospectives on PC only games (System Shock 2 or Thief, anybody?)

You guys are great when you get a new toy.
edit
Am I the only one getting a low framerate? Is that the recording software?

MrKlorox on Aug. 28, 2009

With your rig, you could easily get 60 fps in 1080p. I did in the benchmark with a weaker system. (oh... forgot about video feed recording limitations)

I would assume the mouse has acceleration/smoothing issues since it looks like it doesn't stop on a dime. That comes from the devs using the analog stick movement ramp with the mouse. A common feature in poor ports. I use my controller on PC with multiplatform games more than I use mouse because of this.

For vertical sync issues in direct x, grab a copy of D3DOverrider (part of RivaTuner). It's solely for enabling triple-buffering and forcing v-sync in games or apps that just don't want to synchronize, regardless of setting. The setting for this in Nvidia's Forceware only applies to OpenGL, hence the need for this app.

haha quickturn? what? you have a mouse! turn up the sensitvity

Gross, they swapped the laser sight for a crosshair... I hope there's an option to fix that.
