    Saints Row Ultimate Franchise Pack: $13.74 at Steam

    As for getting SR2 to run decently, look up the mod/toolset "Gentlemen of the Row". This is a complete package from stability improvments to extra customization options for the player and homies.

    What to buy at Future Shop?

    If you honestly can't think of anything, offer it on Kijiji or other classifieds for cash at a slight discount. At least you can do more with the cash afterwards.

    Bugbear doing what they do best: Making a brand new Flatout-style offroad racing game

    Considering that #3 was made by a different developer entirely while BugBear was making Ridge Racer: Unbounded, your concerns are not without merit. Blame Team6 entirely for that one. On topic, I pre-ordered a while back and am loving what I've gotten so far. Patiently awaiting for the next...

    The Official Forza 5 thread

    Well, this killed all interest for me: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-06-why-forza-motorsport-5-has-less-cars-and-tracks-than-forza-4 14 tracks, that's like less than half then there was before. That, and having maybe half the cars from before is making me skip this one. I'll just...

    Deus Ex: HR director's cut coming

    Seems reasonable. As I don't own the DLC, and would cost about $10 to get them anyway; outside of a sale, it's a nice deal for me.

    Oblivion - Is the a mod to fix the crap map size?

    I'm thinking the confusion may lie in what map the OP is using. Oblivion, by default has two map modes: the local, zoomed-in map that focuses on a single city/district/cave and immediate area when outside, and the overall map with markers for fast travel.

    Which setting(s) within The Sims 3 use mainly RAM resources?

    Correct, most titles are x86, which are limited to only that much RAM. Skyrim is hard-coded in that regards too, and will CTD if more than 3.1 GB is used. To the OP, you didn't list what the graphics card was. VRAM isn't really an issue, as I log that slightly under 1GB fully loaded in my...

    Essential Skyrim Mods?

    I just let BOSS handle the placement (about halfway down for my modlist). Can't say as I don't use RCRN, but I don't see why it would interfere. SPERG's focus is mainly the perk menu, with slight touches in smithing, being the melting of items in the forge for ingots. (Enchantments and artifact...

    Essential Skyrim Mods?

    I'm surprised no one mentioned Skyrim Perk Enhancements and Rebalanced Gameplay. It changes the perk system to be very useful and allow for more varied builds with automatic perks and synergy between trees. It also scales the damage across melee/ranged/destruction magic to do 2x base damage at...

    Need help with the sims 3 (my daughers game) Lots of exp. kind of confused

    As per this, one can choose either renting a house, staying in a dorm, or joining a frat/sorority each time you go, but you can't change it mid-term. Alcohol is already censored in the Sims series. It's called juice pong to begin with. World Adventures added nectar-making (which is based on...

    Need help with the sims 3 (my daughers game) Lots of exp. kind of confused

    I'll try to answer what I can. 1. Regardless of what Exp. packs are installed, it will always load the latest released one that's installed, which is University Life in your case. It's recommended to install each expansion in the order they were released for the best stability. Large numbers of...

    Xbox One allows independent publishing

    So, I didn't see it mentioned here, but CBOAT on Neogaf stated that it would be restricted to the Win 8 App store only, and with a limit of 3GB RAM usable. I'm rather off-put by this whole thing altogether now.

    Anyone sticking to current gen systems for a while?

    I'm sticking with my 360 Slim, as it's pretty much just for Rock Band custom songs and Forza now. Maybe Sony may entice me with the 4, but I just spent a bunch of cash upgrading to Haswell, so I'm done buying hardware for now. (Steam sales, on the other hand...)

    Free Fable III for Xbox Live Gold members

    Store items on the xbox website have two payment options. Credit card, or MS Points. It wasn't going through for me as my card on file had expired (being the default for GoD), but selecting MS Points allowed me to force the "purchase" through.

    Laptop gaming from a couch? How is it?

    I'll just chip in here with keeping a consideration to airflow. My Clevo P170EM has intakes on the bottom, whereas before the Asus G73 I was using previously didn't (intakes around the display hinges), so one may need to elevate their laptop to prevent overheating.

    Peter Molyneux & GODUS Kickstarter

    Wow, this is a slightly old thread, but it's the most relevant one to this announcement. Wow, did anyone here actually spend time/money on Curiosity? I kinda feel sorry for those who did now. I may have spent a little time (maybe 2 hours max), but never spent a dime on it, and I'm glad I didn't.

    Ea has no games in the works for Wii U

    This is likely not the best thread for this part, but while we're discussing engines, I've read that Epic tested Unreal Engine on the Wii U as well. UE4 was out of the question officially, and UE3 can barely run. When one of most ported engines is a no-show for a platform, as developers...

    Fallout 3 lags when turning around

    Have you used Afterburner to see the VRAM usage and how much your GPU is utilized? If you have a lot of texture mods and not enough VRAM (or just enough), then it would try swapping into and out of regular RAM.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts

    I do find it strange, actually. Given that the 2nd Tuesday would be 11-12-13 (and thus highly desirable to embed as a release date for the holidays), it means that Activision couldn't take the original date for a reason. Whatever that reason is, they felt it was important enough to be out a week...

    The OFFICIAL Anandtech Forums TeS V: Skyrim Thread

    The MMO is being made by another team entirely separate from Bethesda. It likely means that they're deep into Fallout 4 at this point and need the extra manpower to release in a timely-ish fashion (hopefully with next-gen consoles specs only, if only that the PC version would benefit greatly for...

    Bioshock Infinite - Excited or Not

    If you need a real-time display, I'd recommend MSI Afterburner. Works with all 3 current types of GPUs, and can be re-positioned as desired (defaults to top left). If you also have a Logitech G-series keyboard with display, it can output to that as well.

    Fallout 3 mod suggestions

    I'm going to make the suggestion for anyone getting back into the recent Fallout games (or for first-timers) to use Mod Organizer instead of NMM. It supports both of those games as well as Skyrim and makes it easy to add/remove/manage mods. I can port my entire setup between 2 pcs easily because...

    I don't think it was mentioned in this thread, but I'll pass it on anyway. If anyone was looking for more freedom in character builds, I would suggest Skyrim Perk Enhancements and Reblance Gameplay. Requiring SKSE and Community Uncapper, it restructures the perk trees such that multi-classing is...
