| pipebomb_phil 03/02/18 7:42:16 PM #1 | I know I made the PS4 topic yesterday but I'm looking for other options as well. With the PS4 I'll have to buy Overwatch again and I believe my PSN Subscription ends this November. I have other games to play but I used to play Overwatch religiously. On PC I have my huge library to play with and I already have Overwatch for it. My budget is pretty small. I can probably spend no more than $550. Any suggestions? I don't care if I play OW at low settings. Note: I am not going to build my own PC. So don't even suggest it. I don't want to, don't have time for it, or the patience for it. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |
| Topic | How difficult is it to make an old school like game? |
| pipebomb_phil 03/02/18 3:10:54 PM #1 | I've been watching Cinemassacre's Mike play Princess Rescue, which is basically what Super Mario Bros. 1 would look like on the Atari 2600. It's very impressive. It made me want to create my own old school game. I don't have any knowledge on programming and I'm glancing at tutorials right now. But it is something I would like to do as a fun little project. Any tips on getting started? For fun I'm thinking about making a short game for an old console. I want to see what can possibly be squeezed out of old systems. And any examples of games like this? Link to the Cinemassacre Princess Rescue lets play:  --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

I actually did look a bit more into the Ryzen 5 2400G, but it isn't for me. That and I'm not building a PC so upgrading is out of the question. When I buy a PC it'll be a pre-built and I already know what I want to get. Oh and one of the videos I watched of a budget PC was running Overwatch at the very lowest graphical settings and it looked bad and had screen tearing. I don't always care about graphics but since I'm going to buy a PC later this year, I can just wait for a powerful PC. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

| pipebomb_phil 03/01/18 8:27:07 PM #99 | Nightengale posted... like 8GB for ram was the rule of thumb for years for gaming rigs. and even that's starting to become slightly not enough for the latest games. if you weren't on a budget it would make more sense to go with 16GB, especially since it's, y'know, a PC you'll probably be doing non-gaming things with. and you're gonna try to tell me 4GB is fine? and that a stock cooler is fine for any kind of load? lmao foh. Yeah, 4gb isn't enough. The laptop I'm using right now has 4gb and it's slow. And @Kyuubi4269 is expecting me to use the harddrive from the laptop I'm using right now. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

| pipebomb_phil 03/01/18 2:19:13 PM #77 | Kyuubi4269 posted... pipebomb_phil posted...More affordable for me right now. No it isn't. It's currently at $426.60 when I added a Windows 10 license, cheap keyboard and mouse. I still have to add a wireless network adapter and more ram. And I have to build it myself. I've never put together a PC and I don't want to. I don't have the time nor the patience for that. That's why the PS4 is my best option right now until I am able to afford a PC I want. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

More affordable for me right now. Kyuubi4269 posted... So basically "I'm not buying a PC because I want a PS4 but don't think it's topic worthy." No. I made the topic because I recently posted on this board that I was going to play PS3. I might have mentioned my PC being broke too. RedPixel posted... Why on Earth would anyone buy a Mac to run Windows on it. Lost out on $ from hardware, spent lots of $ on the glow in the dark apple sticker I never said I bought it for the sole purpose of running Windows 10. I bought an iMac because back then I was using Mac OSX and didn't like Windows. Steam came to Mac at the right time so that's how I got into Steam. Gaming on it was just something extra. And now that I love PC gaming, I'm going to buy a gaming PC when I can afford a kick ass one. I've been currently using an old laptop for the past few months but it can only run older games on it. I've been in the mood for MGSV and Overwatch but this laptop can't run them. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

Kyuubi4269 posted... It's a solid CPU and you can add a good GPU later. I want a more powerful CPU. Kyuubi4269 posted... Steam sales, my friend. Also, what person buys games for a console they're not sure they'll even buy? Me. I bought a lot of PS4 games on sale because I was always going to buy a PS4. Then I began playing more and more on my computer. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

Is there a demo or something? Kyuubi4269 posted... I gave you 4GB which is enough, and you don't need a GPU as it's a solid APU. I'd still need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and W10 key. It all adds up. I don't want to end up with 2 PCs later this year and I want a far better performance than your suggested build. Even when I buy a gaming PC this fall, I'll still have the PS4 for exclusive games. And I have quite a few PS4 games I don't have on PC at the moment (like the Witcher 3 for example). --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

And I'd have to buy a new monitor as well. A cheap one is like $100 or so. That's why I decided that the PS4 would be the best option for me right now.

I stopped checking recently. Have you been checking prices recently? Because I have. It was more affordable to just buy a pre-built. I really looked at all the options for a gaming PC. Edit: You also have to buy a Windows 10 license, something that's already included in pre-builts. I know you can probably buy a W10 key for like $20 on ebay or something, but I don't trust those. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

| pipebomb_phil 03/01/18 2:08:35 AM #15 | Syntheticon posted... But with the hardware of a moderately priced laptop...you could put a reasonably decent gaming PC together for $500+ these days so if you're buying your PS4 brand new, you're not doing yourself any major favours because there's no room for upgrades when you've got more $ to spend. No. The PS4 would still be more affordable. I'd want to play my PC games at max or near max at 60 fps (or higher). I cannot find a laptop for $500 that will play games at those settings. So I'd rather buy a PS4 and play the games I already have on it, and buy a PC later this year when I have more money to buy something that will last me a good while and has the specs that I want. Edit: If I could find a laptop that at that price that can run the games at the settings I want, I'd buy it. HellHole_ posted... didn't you make several topics about playing your ps3 recently I have. I even bought MGSV: TPP for PS3 but I changed my mind and decided that I'll just buy a PS4. Also because I want to play Overwatch and I can't play that on last gen hardware. I used to play Overwatch every day and I miss it so much. Haven't played it in months. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

| pipebomb_phil 02/28/18 11:30:20 PM #5 | Syntheticon posted... You're going to want a bigger HDD in your PS4 unless you're willing to delete and install things regularly so there's extra cost already, while depending on what's 'broken' with your PC, you can probably repurpose some parts and get it back up to speed for only a few hundred, give or take so what you're really saying is that you'd rather use console and your PC problems are a pretext? I'm willing to delete and install things as I go. I'll only have a few things installed that I'll keep playing all the time. And no, it would be too expensive to repair my computer. It's an iMac. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

So far I have a few PS Plus games, Alien Isolation, The Last of Us, The Witcher 3, RE5, and some other games too. I'm very excited to hop back to console. And I can't wait to play Overwatch again. I haven't played it in months and with the new character reveal today, I just can't take it any more! I must play Overwatch again! And I'll be doing it on PS4. That's all. My PC is broken, I miss gaming. I'll buy a PC late this year when I can afford one. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

It's the only way I'll be able to play MGSV for the time being until I have enough for a PC. All I need now is a controller and I don't feel like driving right now.

I think DS4 may be backwards compatible. It is but not every game supports it and it has to be plugged in iirc. Some games can't be played with it such as the Metal Gear series because it uses analog face buttons. Firewood18 posted... Most 3rd party controllers are ok, they usually just make louder clicky noises when pressing buttons. I have not. I have a few on PC though. I can play the ones my laptop can run and I can take a look at the Deus Ex games on PS3. mastermix3000 posted... the worst :( I'm still not sure what to do. I don't want a converter though. streamofthesky posted... I can't believe how expesive DS3 is, really sucks, I could use a new controller too. Yeah, DS3s are expensive right now. Even the used ones. A third party one is really cheap but the quality won't be as good. Not sure if I should spend around $40 on a used one or buy a cheap one. I'm leaning towards a third party controller. And thanks for the suggestions. I think I have both Dragon's Crown and Dragon's Dogma. I probably got them from PS Plus. I have not played Dragon's Dogma but I have played Dragon's Crown a bit (it's the beat 'em up right?). I'll look into the Suikoden games. I might have a few from a flash sale but haven't played them. lol Thanks everyone! --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |

| pipebomb_phil 02/23/18 8:17:51 AM #1 | I love PC gaming, but my current laptop can't really play much. I decided I'm just going to play PS3 again. I have a big library on it anyways thanks to all the sales on the PS Store. I [really] need a good distraction in my life and video games is it. Once I have enough money I'll buy a good PC. Since I don't want this being a blogfaqs topic, feel free to make any recommendations. I know I'm going to be buying MGSV: The Phantom Pain for PS3 because there's no way I can beat it now without my PC. And I'm in the mood to play a good stealth game anyways. Edit: Please recommend any third party PS3 controllers. I don't like third party controllers but since I don't have a PS3 controller anymore, I'll have to buy one and I don't think I'll be able to find a cheap official PS3 controller. I'm still checking online though. --- #pipebomb_phil http://i.imgur.com/atWQoAs.gif |
