kudos on the 48 rookas, that's a nice looking number there.

hey Remy, how was Prototype? i'm considering buying it since Gamefly are a bunch of slowpokes the likes of which slowness has never been prouder of.

It's a really solid game, but it's not worth it's full price imo. But if you can rent it, definitely do it, there's just not much incentive to play it all again and you're probably done after 12 hours at max.

Achievement-wise it's also alright, got a fairly easy 350 points out of it :p

And viola! Brass Balls is done!

Congrats! I'm still shocked at how easy Atlas was. First try TYVM! Regardless, that achievement was a huge challenge and I'm pretty happy to have it.

Oh, and Rookas just traded in his old gf for a shiny new model, so the gamerscore is sure to suffer :cry:

Yeah, I got Atlas on my first try. First time through on my last play through (Also on hard) took 3 tries. The level three ice and fire plasmids and bolt gun items make it such a breeze. I'm happy to be among the first 15,000 to have gotten it as well :p

good job on the brass balls, both of you. as for the new girlfriend, wait till she becomes an ex wife. Your gamerscore will thank you ;)

Already got one ex-wife, not looking for another. BTW, ghostbusters deserves the bad reviews. Bill Murray totally phoned in his voice acting, and it's frustratingly hard. Killed three times by a candlestick, really? Sending right back to gamefly.

well done!

rookas, seem we may be in the same boat - was never the family type, it failed for me early on. but wasn't trying to jinx you dude, just gallows humor. Hey send Ghostbusters to me! How the heck did you even manage to get it from them, it's been on my "Q" for ages, no movement.

As for Red Faction...i give it a 6/10. Mercs 2 was more my type of game, even tho i'm a Mars appreciator. Red Faction has less in the way of character, and it's too damn hard, there's a lot of trial and error. And for the umpteenth time, would it kill these developers to let us save anywhere? i just don't get it. If Mass Effect and Bioshock can do it, and these are just two examples, why can't Red Faction? Afraid we'll find out your game is only six hours long? WELL DEVELOP A LONGER ****ING GAME!

Follow @gameflyinc on Twitter and bitch at them when you don't get what you want and point out what a good member you've been, it works for me! I always get new releases now!

Well my GS has come to a screeching halt because I'm right back into CoD4 multiplayer. As soon as I can tear myself away from it though, I need to finish Force Unleashed (but I can't get past that damned Bull Rancor on Sith Master!!!), and then I'm finally breaking open Bionic Commando.

It'll take forever, but just keep dodging and using lightning on it. Took me about 20 minutes to finish it off. I need to go back and finish TFU as well, got into other games and never went back to it. Bionic Commando is fun, but extremely frustrating. You will find yourself in an "irradiated area" and drop dead in seconds all the time. Swinging along (once you get it down) can be a lot of fun, it's a decent game.

thanks for the advice rook, but not the Twitter type at all. Gamefly sucks, there's no two ways about it.

Jianbing, i wouldn't bother with Bionic Commando, it's a real disappointment - if you can trade it in, send it back or something, do it.

I'm currently at 560 points for Oblivion. I'm nearly done with all of my Guild specific quests and can resume the primary quest and then move on to Shivering Isles to complete the game. I'm not sure what I'll be playing after this... I may focus a bit on some casual arcade playing for a while or stop procrastinating and buy the double game package of LEGO Indiana Jones and Kung-Fu Panda for $10 on eBay. I think my wife would appreciate me doing the casual playing :p

Yeah, that's what a couple of friends said too. That's one of the reasons why I've been hesitating to open it. It still has the plastic wrap on it. Maybe I'll just see if I can trade it in for something else. I still have the receipt.

Please do! You'll thank me later. Good thing you didn't open the abomination.

Mathachew, thanks for reminding me of Shivering Isles, almost forgot about it these last two years or so! I don't know about that LEGO/Panda combo...kinda unmanly, you know what i mean?

Not really, I've really enjoyed the LEGO games. The first game I bought when I got my 360 last year was Star Wars: The Complete Saga and several months ago Batman, so I'm sure I'll enjoy Indiana Jones. Not so sure about Kung-Fu Panda, but I'm up for some casual stuff since I've been hammering through some more serious games lately.

Finally beat that damned Bull Rancor. I got lucky and Maris got stuck in the scenery, so I didn't have her to deal with. Beat the Rancor without even being hit. Hopefully *crosses fingers* it should be smooth sailing from here to a cool 375 points.

    • AMD 9070XT

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
