Current Events > New computer gets here tomorrow

(+) Yeah! (+)

What games should I get on Steam during the winter sale? I'm not going to get Starfield yet since I'd rather wait for the DLC.

Baldur's Gate 3 is tempting though.

definitely Baldur's Gate 3.

give in to your temptations.

I kinda want to wait on DLC though. It also depends on the sale price since I'll only have about $100 to spend total since I couldn't get the computer I wanted. Going to wait until Black Friday to get the monitor.

What computer did you get tc?

I've been watching Gamer Nexus reviews of prefabs and it got me scared

I just upgraded as much as I could so a 4060 instead of the 70 I wanted.

Revnir posted...

Anything above a 4060 is a scam anyway

Maybe now since the next series will be out in a few years.

Oh it's bigger than I thought it would be. I'm going to have to upgrade the processor when I get some extra money.

what your cpu

I5 was the only option for that particular model. Couldn't get the computer I wanted since I needed to split up payments through PayPal and they have a $1500 limit.

Did you buy a PC without knowing what games you wanted?

I know what I want but would rather wait for a complete version or more DLC. I already own a shitload too. I'm immediately installing Tales of Arise and CK3 when I have the time to set everything up.

12400F.

I should be able to sell my old i7 but not sure for how much.

that's still good. still beats my 9900k @ 5 ghz.

Umm it probably possible to play the Ratchet and Clank games on ps2 emulator at consistent 60 fps if you overlock the EE to 180%. I was playing going commando the other day and noticed internal fps dropping to 30 fps on my cpu for at least like 15-20% of the game. basically whenever there are a whole lot of robots and explosions

but based on statements from people with amd 5600x to 5900x tier cpus (12400F should have better single thread performance than 5600x to 5900x) they get consistent 60 fps on the ratchet and clank games.

i really need to upgrade lol

I would probably fuck something up if I do that. If I was playing games like that it would be RPGs though.

Dunno why people get so paranoid about "fucking up" things like this. It's one app's settings; just nuke that app and start again if needed. The worst that can happen is you don't get the emulator working and are no better or worse off than when you started.

I don't really care to play those games anyway. Most of the good RPGS are remastered and on Steam anyway.

Get quad 4090s so you can play Cities Skylines 2 on low.

RE8 is on sale for 20 bucks CAD, so not a bad deal

That depends. What types of games do you normally like? Have you played any recent games already? Etc.

I'll just list a bunch of games I like that are available on steam:

• Starfield - Fun game, lots of customization. But Bethesda, so... You know, bugs lol.
• Armored Core 6 - Armored Core is the series when it comes to customizing giant robots. Tons of options that you unlock as you play. A bit harder than previous games, but they did patch some bosses to make them easier
• Ys 8 - one of my favorite action JRPG's ever. You get shipwrecked on a mysterious island she have to explore it and find the other survivors.
• Horizon Zero Dawn - Great story. One of my top games of last Gen
• Days Gone - Great zombie apocalypse game. Explores the "how" of the zombie outbreak, which I feel not enough zombie stories do.
• Judgment - Yakuza spin-off. Fun combat and a very well done mystery/ crime drama story
• Lost Judgment - sequel to Judgment that improves on a lot of the mechanics and side content.
• Forza Horizon 5 - Fun open world racing game. Lots of cars and a lot of fun events and challenges.
• EverSpace 2 - Space shooter indie game. Great story and progression system. Lots of ship customization.
• Subnautica - One of my favorite indie games ever. Explore the ocean on an alien planet and uncover the mysteries it holds... Also kind of terrifying
• Nexomon: Extinction - Great monster catching game with a fun little story. More challenging that Pokemon, but not quite as polished (still good though).
• The RiftBreaker - Indie game that's part real time strategy, part twin stick shooter, part tower defense game. You build up bases/outposts, gather resources and run around the alien planet in a mech suit that has weapons on each arm. Lot of fun if you're into those genres.
• Maneater - You play as a shark that had to eat people and other marine life to level up and grow. Really over the top and ridiculous game, but a lot of fun

That's definitely one I'll check the sale price on. I mostly play RPGS and have never played a Yakuza game.

Star field is on game pass.
Game pass is $12 per month.

Just being honest here, PC Game pass is probably the worst value out there. On Xbox its amazing, but they don't bug test games that go on to PC game pass so they end up broken.

Why would I want to rent a game for $12 a month?

Oh then definitely check out the Yakuza series too. Yakuza 0-6 are more action focused, but they do have RPG mechanics. And the Like a Dragon (What Yakuza games will be called now) games are full on turn based RPG's that take inspiration from Dragon Quest.

How are they still allowed to sell 12th gen prebuilts when 14th gen is out

That reminds me I never played Dragon Quest Treasures.

Probably setting it up on Tuesday but I work overtime that day too.
