Yeah, mount and blade i reckon has probbaly the best medieval combat, although everything else sucks, graphics are quite horrible(but hey what can you expect its an indie game).

Oblivion is quite fun, but as previously mentioned for its archery, it gets kinda useless unless you mod it, because at the end it'll get WAY too difficult. I found archery more better in 3rd person in Oblivion, but it wasen't made for 3rd person, becauase there is no crosshair, so you had to guess the center of the screen.. but I downloaded this mod and made archery sooo satisfying that i used it so much... It made like the physics better when using archery, so like one guy would run up to you and you like a bow aiming at him at point blanc, and just before he hits you with his long sword, you let go and the arrow flies into his face, and his whole body goes flying nice and far and his head takes so much impact - which is extremely satisfying. It makes good use of the ragdoll physics.

If only some non-indie game had thought of the idea that mount and blade had for it's combat, it would defiantly be succeding...

The "X" in Xbox is for DirectX

wow, i learnt something new and meaningfull...

i was wondering, if we had to cut these machines down, gaming wise, not multimedia wise, into PC specs. it would be clearer and easier to understand. dont just say **** like 'ps3s are the best x360s suck', becos youre getting us nowhere. straightforward though, try and think a pc machine comparable with a ps3/360.

another question, would the ps3 and x360 be using something similar to directx10? becos microsoft made the x360, therefore it might have direct x in it. but the x360 was released before directx10.

well apparently there are two versions of the x1300: the x1300, and the x1300 pro. pro version, obviously is better. (duh, pro).

cant remember which one has 256 and the other 512, but i dont care which has which: only which is better.

thanks guys for the help so far, im persuaded for the ATi now.

dude, you seem very sure with your post... well it looks like i might be getting it... unless it really sux, like worse than a 5*** geforce...

Nvidias Ti's are very good, although they are old. well unfortunately thoses are the only ones a can choose from.... im not asking for the best PC, but one that is good with vista and capable with running most games pretty sweet. the most graphics hungry games i have are probably flight simulator X and far cry

my current video card is a nvidia geforce ti4200 (sorry about bringing the old 4000's series into a thread) and im getting a new pc. my mum dosent want to get the 'ultimate gaming machine', however i have and option of video cards to choose from:

nvidia geforce 6150LE;

nvidia geforce 7300LE

Ati radeon x1300 pro

first of all, i prefer Nvidia, although the best card here is the 7300, yet LE stands for lite edition. so its a budget version of the actuall 7300. maybe i should go for the x1300 pro, but....i dont really want to get an ATi. if possible could you compare the 7300 LE to my current Ti 4200? that would be cool,

thanks!
