General Videogame Thread

Around £1800 but GPU was £680, plus I was building in white so everything is a little bit more.
You flash Fu@k.

Mine is literally half the cost of yours but the Motherboard, Processor and RAM the same level. At some point I will up the GPU, maybe the cooling if i need to. Your build is the end goal of my build although even yours you can get more processing power and RAM in there. But I cant see you ever maxing that out - mine is running everything with no problem and i have a budget GPU.

Only reason I didn’t go for faster processor is it was another £120 and I wouldn’t use it and didn’t need much more ram although I may bang some in if I see a good deal

Its difficult to see how a system like that will ever not be enough. There comes a point where games are so big that you just can't write enough code and clear all the bugs and get it out in time to make money.
 
Anyone played The Last of Us 1? Have seen rave reviews but is the story really that good? I will pick it up then.
Each to their own on this one. I tried it twice and just couldnt get into it. That being said, so many people love it and rate it up there as one of the best games ever.

Witcher I loved of the bat, almost my perfect game along the lines of oblivion/elder scrolls. I haven’t played LOU2 either as thought it would be more of the same.
 
Just finished Beyond Two Souls, a story driven game from the team that made Detroit Become Human and Heavy Rain and staring the voices and likenesses of William Defoe and Elliot Page.

Fantastic game, highly recommended to anyone who likes a good story. Have done a few playthroughs and choices do matter a lot, entire sections you can miss out like blowing up a petrol station and large chunks of backstory, depending on what you do.

Just reading also that a sequal is unfortunately very unlikely as Page said she won't work ever again with one of the writers as she was unhappy about him insisting on use of a full body nude model of her in the game. Shame that, the epilogues set up some very interesting possibilities and, like Detroit, Beyond Two Souls could make a fascinating tv series.

Next I'm tempted to take a punt on pc Chinese rpg Guijan 3 on sale on Steam currently. Only English subs but have heard it is the game the past several final fantasy games should have been.

Yeah honestly I couldn't get into it at all. People rave about the story, but I found the gameplay too dull to ever really get much into the story.
 
Yeah - I know I think the ambition is beyond the resources for most. But there is an epic game in there somewhere - none have fully cracked it yet, some have been very bad. Day Z is possibly the best developed but it has been in development for so long its getting dated.

Tarkov is downloading.
Loving escape from Tarkov.

Took a fair wile to get to grips with it. Its a game where you need to spend hours just to get up to speed, and i'm not yet. But the concept is spot on. Its basically warzone / PvP but with much more strategy and risk and reward. Its a game that rewards the sneaky and underhand players as much as those with good aim. And while it will take ages to understand all the ins and outs of loot and what its worth etc (you trade the loot you manage to extract to build up your character) you can just drop in and run around trying to get hold of something and then getting out. If you make it out its a massive buzz. 3d chess.

It's possibly my favourite game ever. It has a slow-ish start, but go with it. It becomes an incredibly addictive cycle of scouring, survival and brilliant set pieces. The best written game i've ever played too. Don't look for spoilers and just play it. It is a bit older now, but still holds up incredibly well.
 
Returned to BF4 for the first time in years and it’s so good.

Didn’t bother with BF5 after its terrible launch but have downloaded it on game pass to go give it a go. Still can’t believe they didn’t bother with the main “theatres of war” from WW2.. talk about botching what would’ve been an instant classic.

Roll on BF6. Bored of Warzone now.
 
Valheim is indeed good fun, first 'survival' game I've not got bored of after 20 mins. Barely touched the actual objectives and just having fun building stuff.
