    XBox360 vs PS3

    Xbox 360. Multiplatform games just work better on it. For instance, using MW3 as a example, both versions look pretty damn close. However, you can install the WHOLE game onto your 360's HD. The PS3 only allows a 50MB install - than it proceeds to thrash your blu-ray drive all night long...

    So now that I know for sure that there is a patch update for this game, is the best course of action to uninstall ALL my mods from Mod Manager before actually launching the game?

    Ah. I have the dragonstone, I just didn't complete the quest b/c I don't want to rush through this. I think that quest is part of the main quest right? Maybe I should finish it. I need me some meat shield or DPS or basically anything besides my short skirt girly archer.

    No, I haven't figured out where to actually pick a companion up. I was in that cave as part of my first 'errand' of the companion line of quests. It looks like I now have a follower for the 2nd part of that quest. I must be missing something.

    So I have my archer at level 11. Took down my first giant and mammoth yesterday. Kiting them wasn't working because I'd run out of stamina - so I led them to a hold where I could shoot them down from the hold's walls or from within the hold's doorway. It was nice to have to use the...

    I've been using the SkyUI mod for awhile now (at least my screen looks like the screen shots in the mod). I don't have the script extender installed - so I wonder what I'm missing since my UI seems to work .... Also, how do I install said extender?

    I think I'm done...

    I've always maintained that playing COD on my 360 is like a full time job if you want to be competitive in match (as opposed to cannon fodder). Which is the whole reason I'm going to try BF3 (again on console, all these friggin' problems with BF3 crapping out would annoy the hell out of me)...

    Having a great time w/ this. Running a female Wood Elf Archer class with some sneak built in. Threw on the skimpy armor mod from the nexus (cause if I gotta look at ass all night, it might as well be womanly and pleasant). I'm really enjoying the openness of the game. And I'm getting better...

    I know this is a open game, but I can't help but wonder if I'm supposed to hop back on the tracks or not. I'm still in Riverrun (RiverEnd?). I have been wandering around, found some caves, found a really cool cave where you go through and kill a bunch of bandits and end up on a beautiful...

    Batman arkham city, not working?

    My build is similar to yours. I haven't even fired up the install routine for Batman: AC yet. Still hoping for a nVidia driver update that addresses some of this, a patch from RockSteady, or both.

    Hard to go wrong w/ Amazon. They often have a 10 dollar post purchase credit too. Amazon gets a great deal of my disposable $$$. I only go to BB if I have a coupon or there is a sale (for instance, got BLOPS for 15 bucks on Black Friday).

    I bought it via Steam on the Christmas week sale. Haven't d/l'd it from Steam yet though - hoping another patch comes out that ups the stability. Or a better video driver from Nvidia.

    "Display Driver has failed ...." - Battlefield 3

    If this is what it takes to run a game on a relatively high end card, that's just plain awful. I mean, if you're not heavy into this type of thing you're completely SOL. 90% of the buying public have no idea how to underclock or overvolt squat - they just buy whatever Anandtech or Toms...

    Anybody still playing Rift?

    I never really liked the whole multiple soul thing. It seems everybody can do everything and it was just a big button masher to me. If they had straight classes I probably would have stayed as I thought the graphics and sound were very good and the areas were definitely interesting.

    Best graphics card for battlefield 3 and other high end games?

    My GTX 570 Superclocked is within punching distance of a 580 - I'm hoping it'll do the job for most games on high - not necessarily ultra.

    When I start this up (after perusing my strategy guide that I ordered), I was going for either a sneaky archer or a caster. I've got enough in your face action w/ all the other games I play - I want this to have a different feel.
