Hey guys,

I have always thought gamespot reviews seem to be unbalanced and not judged in a consistent manner. After the Titanfall review, I decided to make a thread about it and see what people on here really think of gamespot reviews.

I have to be honest and say that I am surprised that Titanfall scored as highly as did it, considering BF4 got an 8 and Last of Us also got an 8. All the games cost the same amount of money ($60, one can argue Titanfall costs more when you require to have a gold account, at least on consoles.)

Where Titanfall really comes up short to those two games I mentioned is in the content department. First of all, both BF4 and Last of us both got a long single player component of the game, along with a multi player component. One can easily say both BF4 and Last of Us offer a far bigger value for money, especially in BF4 case, far bigger maps and a far larger collection of weapons/vehicles a full on 64 player experience and a vastly superior graphics. Same thing can be said for Last of Us, a far bigger single player experience, decent multiplayer and with better graphics, especially considering that the game is running on an old gen hardware.

Titanfall hardly has a single player component and when it comes to multilayer content of the game, BF4 wipes to floor with it. If you go back and watch the video reviews of both Titanfall and Last of Us, the reviewer in the Last of Us talks a lot about the shortcomings of the AI, yet the Titanfall review makes no mention of it's extremely bad AI and large part of the game involves the AI. Surely if marks are reduced for Last of Us AI, the same should have been done for Titanfall?

Sure Titanfall is a fun game to play, but surely both BF4 and Last of Us are also fun to play, come with a lot more content, yet they both received 8 while Titanfall managed to get a 9 and it is basically a multi player game only with far less content than BF4 that costs the same as the two games I mentioned.

Sometimes I really don't understand the scores some games get on this website.

I think that setup might be slighty to powerful for that PSU with that GPU. Buying a new PSU would be the best idea.

You can also google "PSU calculator" and enter your specs in there and see what would be recommended wattage for that setup.

Depends on what brand the PSU is and the rest of your PC specs. You might get away with it if the rest of your PC is not power house and you got a decent PSU. You also have to remember the GTX 570 PSU requirements also have a big margin for safety reason. If I was in your shoes I would a buy a decent 650W PSU just to be safe. They don't cost that much nowdays so you're are not looking into big spendings. Better save than sorry.

Any decent GPU will be more powerful than what the consoles have to offer. I just upgrade to gtx 460 a month ago and I can run everything. Considoring that the gtx 460 cost slight more than £100 and can run everything at 1080p just tells you how much console hardware is behind today.

No chance IMO. I tried running BC2 on a laptop with AMD dual core 2.1Ghz cpu and and HD4200 on low and I got like 10 fps. I was running it on 800x600 and everything on low.

They actually haven't achieved that much. If Forza was a PS3 exclusive it would have failed badly. The only reason why it has been successful is because the platform it is on. Before Forza came out there was almost no competition in the racing genre on the xbox.

It's easy to become number 1 when there is almost no competition that can stop you.

The PSU I am using is Coolermaster igreen series, I bought three years ago so I don't think the PSU is the problem. Also the PSU had a light at the back to show if there is any problem, but the light is not on meaning there is nothing wrong with the PSU.

I was surfing the net when the computer froze. My keyboard and mouse stopped working and there nothing else to do but to restart the computer. When I tryed to start the computer again, the screen was blank, the CPU & GPU fans were running flat out and the hard disk was making a weird clicking sound every couple of seconds. The red light was flashing every second for up to a minute and then it stopped flashing. The hard disk also stopped making a clicking noise after a minute but the CPU & GPU fans were still going 100%. I also cannot open the dvd drive, when I press the open button, nothing happens.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the computer & how can I fix it. Is my hard-drive broken or something?

Any help greatly appreciated

Bad move by DICE. Too many people are still on XP and all that DICE will achieve is lose customers simply because many of them are still using XP.

Hopefully they won't cry when there sales will be less than expected. You need to make games so that almost everyone can play them. That's why Blizzard is such a successful company, you can run their games on old hardware.

I just downloaded the trail on my old laptop. It's a single core 1.5Ghz, 768MB of RAM and Intel on-board GPU and Windows XP 32bit. It ran fine, I only had slow downs at space stations and stargates where there are more ships around. Considoring my bottleneck is the crap Intel GPU, I think 512MB should run the game. I ran the game on low settings
