I’ve pretty much only ever used headphones when playing games. Never been much of a console gamer, always PC. At this point I almost exclusively use my HD 800s. They’re absolutely amazing headphones and the sound stage is incredible for gaming. Far better than any “gaming” headset I’ve used in the past.
Since I do audio stuff, for my headphones I use a Shure SRH440A. It does a very good job from what I can tell and for my regular speakers I use a Logitech G560 but I’m thinking of changing these out for a set of studio monitors since they’re randomly disconnecting all the time.
Cross game integration. I was recently playing Last Command B-Side, and in a certain part, the game picked stages themed around the games I have installed and it blew me away.
I miss casual flight sims that were designed to be played with a joystick. Not so much Janes F-15 1997 or whatever, i’m more talking about Crimson Skies. I want more Crimson Skies.
While I can understand that stance for the christian label, the Catholics are organised religion and hierarchy through and through. If you don’t want organised religion than the reformation and the protestants should be more up your alley.
But that theological discussion is probably a bit outside of the gaming community, so let’s agree to pump the shotgun and exorcise demons. In that regard: what do you like more about Doom Eternal than Doom 2016? Because I like the latter one more, as it is more direct in it’s action.
Well I like both in different ways. Eternal is harder and more reliable in weapon swaps, but it’s also VERY fast paced (and as a CoD oldhead who doesn’t mind current movement in CoD, while I do wish it was a little slower or took more skill, it is very fun), and I personally LOVE when a singleplayer shooter has crazy movement. Doom 2016 however is a little slower but it’s still very good and I throughly enjoyed playing it!
I have the Hifiman HE400se headphones. They’re open-back, so pretty wide soundstage. They use planar magnetic drivers, unlike most headphones which use dynamic drivers. Both technologies can be good, but the construction is different and they have different strengths. Here’s an explainer from rtings
At my gaming PC, I got Logitech G560 speakers and also a G733 headset. Both were gifts. I slightly prefer the headset (used to gaming with headphones after decades), but the speakers are nice to give my ears a temporary rest plus them lighting up the wall behind the monitor is cool.
On the TV, an Ultimea soundbar + rear speakers set. Cheapest I could find with surround where subwoofer and rears are wireless as due to my living room layout running cables there would be impractical. Not the best soujd but worlds better than the TV itself and good enough for all my gaming needs.
Sweet! Didn’t even know Logitech makes speakers! Wireless sound has come a long way, in my opinion. I don’t think one would notice any difference playing games anyway. Really wish I could try gaming with a subwoofer! :)
S760D (5.1) from edifier. It punches far above its weight imo. I use a sennheiser pc37x if I need to be in voice chat but as good as headphones sound I don’t necessarily want to be wearing them all day.
For me this is more about open world games losing cool features than wanting to play a game with that feature. In GTA 4 it affected the choices I’d make whilst driving as it was entirely possible to make a vehicle nearly impossible to drive without coming close to blowing it up.
Sweet! My closed headphones isolate even the sound of the doorbell, so people kind of need to text me if they plan to visit while I’m gaming xD
Which model/maker of the 3080 do you have? I have the Asus TUF Gaming OC version and while it sounds like an inspired fan, it’s not quite a jet engine… But then again, I only game at 1080p (but with ultra settings) because with my 24 inch monitor I kind of have a good pixel density anyway ^^
It’s an unlikely scenario, but if you have a doorbell that can be “connected” to, like ring or aqara you could set a light (hue, inner, generic ZigBee etc) to flash when the doorbell rings. I had a rube Goldberg setup for the time before I discovered open back monitors 😀
I’ll be real, I don’t know the manufacturer because it was a second hand pre built. An old hp omen that I replaced mobo and CPU (and somehow I didn’t take note… getting lazy on my old age)
I do roll 1440p and whatever settings get me 120 FPS. Nothing competitive
5.1 sound system from DaLi (Danish Loudspeakers). Even the Oberon series is fine for ambience. Love losing myself in Zelda BotW and its weather effects. A good subwoofer adds a lot to the experience aswell.
