Best of luck resolving your issue, and happy gaming,
Why are people expecting DNF to be revolutionary and innovative? I don't think it's trying to be something it is not. Just Duke Nukem. Seriously, what were people expecting? I'm having a blast. It's a good game. Not perfect, but fun.Elann2008
I'm not sure anyone expected it to be revolutionary so much as faithful to the original: Crude humor, entertaining enemies, great boss fights, innovative weapons, and fun multiplayer.
I had not realized that Gearbox literally took the game that had been built over the past 10 years: Of course it was going to be awful! For some reason I had been under the impression that Gearbox had just bought the intellectual property, not the actual game.
That thing needed to be scrapped and a new game built using an existing graphics engine like the Unreal or CryEngine.
Hey, they own it now, so maybe we'll see a decent sequel in a few years.
Haha From the start I didnt think this game would be that good. Was expecting a 6 /10... but a 3? xD Omg... such a low score for a game 12 years in development. MW3 will get a 9 again right? XenoLair
Gamespot is known to be a tough reviewer. There are only seven scores of 10 in the database. Based on some of the footage in the past couple weeks, particularly the sophomoric cringe-worthy opening scenes, I'm not surprised, just disappointed. Boz
It's official, the reviews are in, and it's worse than I had imagined. Even a direct port of the original would have been better, apparently. Kevin VanOrd absolutely eviscerates Duke Nukem Forever, and he's not alone.
So please, feel free to respond with your thoughts.
Surprised?
Not surprised?
Will it still sell?
Will it have a sequel?
Is Randy Pitchford, lovable as he may be, redeemable, or the next Peter Molyneaux?
At least I have a passable Alice: Madness Returns to sate my nostalgia.
[QUOTE="Shatilov"]the T7900 7.1 is an Analog Surround, & doesn't have Optical in. Is it clear ? do you have anymore questions, I'll gladly answer. Gotcha; I have the 2.1 version of your surround system, and it's quite nice. It sounds like you would ideally like to pass-through the audio from your PS3 through your PC soundcard and output it to your T7900. This does seem like something your card should be able to do. However, I'm going to suggest you create an account on the Creative Support forums and ask your question there. They should be able to provide better guidance for this issue since it is specific to their product, and recommendations about alternatives. Someone else here might be able to provide better suggestions; sorry I cannot be more helpful! Good luck, Boz
To someone who thinks all receivers are the same........I laugh.dxmcat
This is not what I said. I said:
...there is little difference from receiver to receiver at any particular price point.Bozanimal
There is a big difference between what you claim I said and what I actually said. A Denon AVR-1612 (~$350) isn't going to do what a Denon AVR-4810CI (~$arm or $leg) will do. A Denon AVR-1612 will, however, perform markedly similar to a Yamaha RX-V471 or Onkyo TX-NR509, which are all about the same price. The biggest differences are going to be features, like HDMI pass-through and the number and type of inputs, and reliability of the particular model. Further, anyone buying a receiver in this price range probably isn't going to hear a difference between them.
something to keep in mind though, in order to hear the difference between them (and there is one, often sizeable) you need speakers that will let you hear it. Not some Optimus ones. now just go ahead and try to tell me all speakers are the same....hehdxmcat
Actually, a LOT of speakers - at least the drivers - are the same, but rebranded by region and distribution model. Klipsch isn't going to sound like Polk who isn't going to sound like Infinity, because they all use proprietary drivers and enclosures. But you'll find a lot of companies using generic drivers from a few select Chinese manufacturers. That said, of course all speakers don't sound the same, and I say as much in my prior comment when I mention sensitivity.
As an aside, Optimus, the Radio Shack brand you so off-handedly disparaged, actually carried a few decent drivers back in the '90's if you knew what to look for. I had a pair of separates that had a woofer with a bumped back plate and rubber surround and a 1" silk-dome tweeter more typical of mid- and upper-level woofers for $50 (including a decent crossover). This is why I say:
...the prejudice and preferences for one brand over another is largely silly.Bozanimal
Especially if you know what to look for.
I'm going to be using Klipsch Promedia 5.1 speakers btw, for now at least. I know they are PC speakers, but they are compact and sound nice to my uneducated ears.donalbane
If you visit Crutchfield you can do a comparison of receivers at your price point and compare their features. I know HDMI inputs was one of your priorities, but they've all got about four HDMI inputs at that price. I still recommend the Denon AVR-1911, which has more options and inputs than the other receivers in its range (on-screen menu, certain video pass-throughs).
Before I try to help answer your question, is there a reason you are not using the optical SPDIF output from the X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty to your receiver? I would imagine this would be the preferred method.
Hi, ivanreel, and welcome to Gamespot! As you are a level 1 user, you might not know the best place for this type of topic. This type of question is better suited to the expertise of users that frequent the PC Hardware forums, though I can understand the confusion.
