I need a new PC but don't want to build it. Does CyberPowerPC do an okay job with custom builds?

You'd be better off buying the parts yourself and paying someone to put it together. Ideally a mate, but if that's not an option, most PC hardware stores offer an assembly service.
Would've been pretty wild if the game had DOA style clothing destruction, and by the end you'd have a crazy naked guy chasing you.
Yup, there it is. Didn't expect much and they under delivered from that.
Can't wait to see what gameplay or story enhancements they've added.
None. Fucking Ubisoft.
The skeleton of my current PC is a CyberPowerPC, but really all that's left of the original components is the CPU/mobo/wifi card/case... so I'm not sure how qualified I am to speak on their quality. Only reason I got it was my old rig up and died during the middle of last year's crypto bs.
So, do I have to go by Nvidias "Freesnyc compatible" monitors list when looking for a monitor? I think I remember reading that all (most?) Freesync monitors will work with Gsync? Is the correct?
There is a limited number of Freesync monitors that Nvidia deems "good enough" that are enabled now automatically (or soon, not sure if this is already available in the newest drivers) But for the vast majority you'll have to enable it manually.
It's described here: https://www.pcworld.com/article/333...c-monitor-support-geforce-graphics-cards.html
Those that haven't been given the green tick may exhibit abnormal behaviour when Gsync is forcibly enabled. Here's Reddit's master list of community-tested monitors.
Were you getting chased by the naked crazy guy or the crazy naked guy chasing in this scenario?
About bugs. There was a long period of time where you couldn't mark progress towards certain objectives in Tides of War in BFV. That's a major selling point of the game.
Here's a chart: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/motion/g-sync-compatible
The most important thing to consider is the "VRR Minimum".
SSD for everything? I only use my SSD for the OS, games are still on a HDD. Regarding what I play, I don't think it would really made that much difference for me.
I was stuck with outdated hardware for yeeaars, finally buying a new PC was like going from a moped to a Ferrari. :D
Trying to download TD2 beta and the download speed eventually cuts in half and doesn't rise until I pause the download and restart it. Any ideas why?
Look into Origin or Xotic PC instead for custom builds. Or if you have a Frys or Microcenter near you, you can go pick out the parts and have an employee build it for you.
The ES IsThereAnyDeal fork got an update:
Enhanced Steam has been updated to 0.9.2
This release includes the following changes:
Only when downloading Division 2 or other Uplay games too? Some issue with your firewall maybe. I recently had terrible speeds with Origin and what helped was turning on UPnP in my router. Check proxy settings in Windows. Try another DNS-server. Flush DNS. Superhard to troubleshoot from afar.

This release includes the following changes:
- In this version we have focused on adding more features from the original extensions, improving compatibility and working on bugfixes. The most amount of work has been done on Inventories.

That's not actually new tho isn't it? I remember they did something very similar with Shadow of Mordor and youtubers.
Not that i'm defending this or anything, just pointing out this isn't the first time.
Yeah. TB talked about that and that a lot of YouTubers are not disclosing that even though they have to...
I just got a booster pack for "Flesheater"...I think this may be the cheapest booster pack on the market. Sells for 0.09CAD
Paid reviews dont mean you have to like the game, it just means that they are paying you to feature the game. You can speak your mind, issue is that the publisher normally ask to approve before it is posted online so you are normally not allowed to be super critical.
Legally you are also forced to disclose that information, but it is not about you getting paid to give a good review but rather for advertising the game (think about all promotions most Youtubers have to do nowadays in their videos).

You, a troglodyte: watches paid review Youtube clips.
Me, an intellectual: reads Filip Miucin's reviews.

Yeah, but giving a bad review to the game will probably ensure you will not get sponsored by that company again, meaning that if you work at a gaming journalism site like IGN, your boss will probably tell you to give it a good score just to keep the money coming.
FO76 by a mile. I think the mistake Sony did was compare their product to what was on the market. Sure the NES/SNES classic were better however most of the market is dominated by crappy At@Games retro consoles and the PS Classic is better than those.
FO76 Bethesda missed every conceivable measurement.
Reminds me, last night I went all Marie Kondo on my desktop.
Does the Steam launcher spark joy? Yes, yes it does.
Does the Origin launcher spark joy? Yes, yes it does.
Does the Uplay launcher spark joy? Yes, yes it does.
Does the Blizzard launcher spark joy? Yes, yes it does.
Does the Epic launcher spark joy? Not yet but its still new so it can stay.
Does the Bethesda launcher spark joy?........
I use it for everything, yes. Slightly better load times in games but system boots up in seconds. :D
I remember fuss about it in game magazines back in the 80's, where they were calling each other out over it if I recall properly. So yeah, nothing new and not surprising it's never been adequately solved.
this is based on nothing since it's been forever since i wrote reviews and i only did it for a very short while since i was crap at it, but it never really worked like that. like i didn't have an editor tell me don't review this game too harshly because there's an ad deal or something like that. i think gaming press for the most part is fairly independent and will judge games on the game's merits and publication's/reviewer's values
doesn't mean there's no publisher pressure or influence but i don't think real publications just get "bought out" like that
i think that's a bigger issue with influencers and youtubers and such since there's a lot less accountability, editorializing, peer reviewing, etc. despite some of the work being done by these people massively outclassing what's often published by these big publications like ign etc.
then again all publications, not just the gaming press, suffer from this sort of influence, often much more pervasively and sinisterly so, so i feel in the grand scheme of things whatever "ethics in games journalism" problem there might be is laughably insignificant
like compare the gaming press to the real press and i'd be like ok maybe we're not so bad off
Geez, how often will people "discuss" the "paid reviews topic"? Sure, IGN bosses are going to their editors and telling them: "Hey, you need to give this game at least a 8.5 score". Seriously? There is paid content, paid articles, etc. those are clearly marked on a lot of pages. It's funny how journalists are obviously all getting paid by Publishers for doing positive reviews, but those Streamers and YouTubers are all honest gamers...sure ;)
Sorry, just getting kind of p... when this topic keeps coming up. I've worked on both sides, developer/publisher and as a journalist and freelance journalist and there is no such thing.

What happen? Stock market? Never mind, I see. Video card related.
I still need to try Kane & Lynch. I guess it'll be one of the games I beat for the 52 game challenge this year.
It's much like the NES and SNES classics in that if you got the right tools you can mod the system and utilize more emulation options.
Dynamite Deka 1 got a PS2 re-release, and is available on JP PSN to play on PS3.
Dynamite Deka duology would be a neat re-release compilation, though.
