Half of that is incorrect. I only wish I had Tom Clancy PJs.

Retired my FN 4 middle/light heavy, G.O.A.T boxer tonight. legit 51(49)-0-0 (no quitting out to re-fight, Pro difficulty, 88 rating) scored me 200gs woot!. That games AI is sooooo easy to exploit. Make a southpaw make his sig punch the ducking lead hook. as soon as every fight starts switch your stance so your fighting orthodox. Massive lead left hooks that drop guys very early in fights. Not only that but I just focused on maize bag and left hand power in training. I would just fall back to the corner, shoulder roll and counter with left hooks, not many fights made it out of the 2nd or 3rd round and quite a few were ended in the first. Only 2 guys took me to decision. Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor. Both the first time I fought them. Anyway, just thought I would share that k thx.

Gay, so you cannot import a retired legacy boxer into "Fight Now". I was so looking forward to beating down Tyson as a middleweight.

**Drag** Tue Aug 09, 2011 2:13 am

so what you're saying is that this game is worth a rent

thejester108 Tue Aug 09, 2011 2:33 am

FNR4 completely fucked up the game mechanics..at least it's better than kinect boxing

John26 Tue Aug 09, 2011 4:06 am

I rather save the money not buying a new monitor.

I dunno about a desktop PC, but when I plug my laptop via HDMI to my 46'' Sony Bravia HDTV, it looks absolutely fantastic.

sweet, probably same for desktop. Kinda of wierd. With the pc you can use a 360 controller, play it on a hdtv, and sit on a couch. Just like console gaming, but better haha.

Should of done this earlier.

I have my PC connected to my HD TV. It's different for each TV.
For example, my Samsung (3D TV) requires me to use HDMI 1 for PCs. But then you have to go and Edit Name to DVI/PC or you don't get a proper PC sygnal.
I know other Samsung TVs usually used HDMI 2 for PCs and didn't need a rename.

Phillips TV had a PC Mode in the menu to turn on. Not if you needed to use a particular HDMI port though.

Whats your TV make.

**Ghost** Tue Aug 09, 2011 10:38 am

I use my 55" LG LCD as my monitor for my PC running on HDMI1. Looks amazing, and yes grab a 360 for windows controller and gaming becomes badass.

Yeah, there is an easy 300-400gs that can be pulled out in the run of a week or so.

From my experience with Samsung tvs, I'd say HDMI 2. You'd know straight away anyway when plugged in and compared. Any problems, just post here. Pretty much all HD TVs in at this point (especially brands like Samsung and Sony) allow for PC connections. It's just figuring out what way it's set up for each one.
I had another Samsung LCD HD, that used HDMI 2. And the parents have a Samsung Plasma and that works the very same when I tested it with their PC.

Was looking around and I see that nearly all my games are going to be PC for quite a while. Skyrim, Deus Ex, Arkham City, BF3, Rage, AC Revolution. Maybe ME3 but only if they have controller support. I'm not playing ME3 with K/M.
