Dark-Star

Reply to A Look at the ATI Radeon HD 4850 in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Hey Zoomba, Things are going good over here at Vectorform. The projects a pretty cool and I'm learning a lot. The Microsoft Surface is awesome, by the way. I want one for my house! :) Here is a slightly outdated pic of my computer. Since then I've added a better RAID controller (Adaptec) and a second DVD-Burner. I think I might take your advice and add 4 more gigs of RAM too. <img style="vertical-align: middle; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="http://w

Zoomba, it's me Dark-Star! Good review, btw. I own an ASUS Radeon HD 4870 (512MB version) and I LOVE IT. Best card I've ever owned and it was well worth it. I play GRID a lot and the game runs all details on, 1920x1200 full 8xFSAA @ 80+fps. Most of my games I'm able to run at full details at 1920x1200. Only Crysis slow down at full detail, but if I take the detail level to HIGH the game is back to 60+ fps. Here are my stats in case others care: AMD Phenom 9950

Reply to Dear MozDev, WHAT Were You Thinking? in Internet Stardock Forums

Indeed. Seems like they touched things that need not be touched. They didn't actually make anything better. Kind of took a step backwards. :/

[quote]I wrote the Tom's review. At Tom's we don't subscribe to the 7-10 scale. We'll go all the way to 1 if the game calls for it and we consider a game that just exists with no really good or bad points a 5. With that in mind consider an 8 an excellent score.[/quote] Thank you for shedding some light on Tom's rating system, Travis. That does make sens

[quote]This one is a little odd because he showers the game with praise and then gives it an 8 out of 10 for the score. That had me scratching my head.[/quote] Haha, yeah me too! I was like, huh?

Reply to I HATE this game... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I was talking to my brother the other day on the phone who lives out of state and he said that his wife HATES Sins! The reason, he won't stop playing it! lol Seems like this is going to be a trend here. lol IC and SD should update the box and put a relationship breaker warning on the box. Maybe have a rating system like the ESRB, but show a heart that has a crack down the middle. :LOL:

Reply to I HATE this game... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I stayed up late last night playing Sins as well. My wife was wondering what I was planning on doing today, since it was late and she was going to bed with out me. :P I ended up saving me game just when it was getting good too. Man, I am tired today. I can't wait to get home so I can take a nap and resume my game. :)

Make sure you have "Show pre-release versions" unchecked and give that a try.

Reply to Should I get SINS? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

You'll find yourself saying, "Oh crap! What time is it!?!" and realize you're going to be very tired the next morning with an interesting story as to why. :) That explains my situation this morning. I played Sins way to late last night, and honestly, I'm looking forward to resuming my saved game when I get home from work, after a nap of course. :)

Reply to [Suggestion] Please add a "Top" button to the bottom of the forum in Everything Else Sins Forums

not a bad idea. :) In the mean time, just click on the stars background on the left or right side of the page then press Ctrl+Home to jump to the top of the page or Ctrl+End to jump to the bottom of the page. Not exactly a solution, but it'll do for now. I'll submit the idea to our forums developer. Thanks for the suggestion! :CONGRAT:

Reply to There's too much clicking in this (fantastic) game in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

You can remap hot-keys to avoid some of those clicks to open those pesky screens. That might save you some time and a few clicks anyway. :/

Reply to (RESOLVED)Resolution< in Technical Sins Forums

I don't think that is entirely true Annarar11. I am running wide screen (1900x1200) and I can select resolutions from 1024x768 all the way up, weather it be wide-aspect rations to standard 4:3 ratios.

Just right-click the game in SDC and go to 'Uninstall' :)

Reply to will it run smooth? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

That is a pretty similar setup to mine, except I'm running the standard GeForce 6800 256MB, and it runs pretty good if I have my detail level set to medium (at 1920x1200 2X AA). If I crank it up more then that, it looks awesome, but you'll notice some chopping. Runs great at medium.
