Wanted:Dead, or at least i try. Does not feel like an arcade game at all, collisions feel like random

Drigo, do gaming w Please help me select parts for a "competent" gaming PC

I have just spend the last couple of months researching myself because I’m in the process of upgrading my rig as well.

I haven’t seen you mention your budget anywhere, but as I read your comments, I understand this is a bit above what you want.

CPU: I would get the 7 7800X3D instead. It odtens performances better for gaming.

Fan: I don’t really like water cooling, but that’s personal opinion. I would get a noctua NH-D15

Motherboard: the “X” before the numbers, is overkill for gaming, it has lots of “ekstra” expensive features that’s just not that usefull. Definitely find one that start with a “B”. Iam getting the “Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard”

GPU: I don’t play 4k myself, so cannot really give you any pointers. I got a 7800 XT, because it’s super good for it’s value. The biggest difference is, Nvidia cards is best for Ray tracing in games, so if you need that, get a Nvidia. If you don’t care for Ray training, get AMD. Also look up reviews of the GPU fx Gamers Nexus/hardware unboxed is good. And see how the cards perform in the games you want to play.

RAM: 16 gb is often good enough, but I would go with 32 gb for now. 64 gb is overkill, and can always be upgraded later. The ones you have picked I think is fine, just get the 32 variant.

Storage: the SSD is good, and 2tb is good. Maybe getting a HDD, if you wants to storage other files that don’t need to be on the SSD.

PSU: I got the exactly same for my build. A rule of thumb for calculating the PSU needed, put every component you need in PCPartPicker, and take the total wattage * 1.5. But the new GPU use so much power should should add 100 ekstra wattage as a “high-end tax” so fx 550 wattage * 1.5 + 100 = 925 PSU.

But the most important thing is, research all the comments you want to try, and watch YouTube videos of people that actually tried and tested it. One youtube channel I like is “PC Builder” he explains what components are pretty well, and give actually examples of good parts to buy.

C4d,

Super helpful; also thanks for the channel recommendation.

The more LLM stuff gets banned the better. I’m really tired of seeing those “AI summaries of articles” that are completely unreliable since they change the tone, miss important bits, show bias or sometimes add completely new made up sentences to it. If you want to make a summary write it yourself instead of relying on a glorified auto complete tool to do it for you…

Well, for a practical example, my Ryzen 5 5600x and Radeon 6600xt combo is juuust out of the running for games coming out right now, I’d say. The VRAM limitations at 8GB are becoming apparent and there’s been a few instances where the 5600x struggles in games that hit CPUs hard. But I’d say that’s because there’s been an oddly big jump in system requirements, recently.

LoamImprovement,

But I’d say that’s because there’s been an oddly big jump in system requirements, recently.

Because devs don’t optimize for PC and get away with it by listing absurd minimum requirements.

    You used to need to upgrade … every year or two

    That’s what took me out of PC gaming; that and a price increase (possibly crypto related, possibly financial crash related).

    Things have changed a lot.

    And you’re probably right about the crypto thing; if my defection had happened in ‘10 - ‘11 due to price increases that would have been more crypto and less financial crisis. Memory blurs a little.

    Thank you for banning AI trash.

    LLMs do have purpose; but that purpose is not in journalism and news

    LoamImprovement, do gaming w What was the formative horror game of your childhood?

    Shivers - that game absolutely nailed the atmosphere, and for the players that don’t know the ixupi hotspots and the game’s tricks, it’s genuinely terrifying. I’d say give it a look, on GoG you could do worse for six bucks.

    Lies of P. It’s probably going to end up as my game of the year.

    SteelObelisk, do gaming w What was the formative horror game of your childhood?

    Master of Darkness on the Sega Master System. The soundtrack was haunting.

    For me the past few days:

    • MO: Astray - fun & difficult puzzle platformer with an interesting story
    • Deep rock Galactic - fun, short, & mostly friendly public multiplayer
    • Factorio - good for turning my brain into a smoothie
    • Pilgrims - comical bartering puzzle game

    Did you play Cyberpunk because of the new update/DLC?

    oxideseven,

    I spend like 150 hours on it when it came out and finished. Came back for the update and dlc yeah.

    Just started a run through of The Isle Tide Hotel on Steam, enjoyed the demo a while back and I’m a sucker for a bit of FMV.

    Played some Heroes of the Storm with an online friend. I absolutely love this game, I only play it Vs AI, but it's the only MOBA I ever really got into, because I don't much enjoy competition and the AI is always there.

    I never thought I'd get to this point with a competitive styled game, but I know all of the heroes, almost all of their abilities, I understand matchups or even possible talent choices and ideal or poor team comps. It helps that the game is locked in maintenance mode and I don't worry about an ever inflating hero pool and an ever evolving meta.

    buxderbaum, do games w What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?

    Titanfall 2

    Lord_Logjam,

    Definitely didn’t get the appreciation it deserved on launch. I seem to remember it was launched right after that year’s Battlefield and right before that year’s CoD. Terrible decision. It definitely stood the test of time though and is very highly regarded now.

    bl4ckblooc,

    Titanfall 2 definitely got a lot of appreciation.

    money_loo,

    It needed more.

    PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

    Bought the game at Dollarama in Canada for $4 a few years ago. Still haven’t played it.

    The campaign has some absolutely wild parts of it. It’s worth playing through that if nothing else

    My big one, because I am playing the successor right now would be the Commandos-reinvention line of games by Mimimi Software:

    They’re very faithful reproductions of the old Commandos-formula, real time tactics about sneaking and stabbing through a dense map full of guards covering each other, finding spots where to get in with specific abilities of your varying characters. In the newest one in particular, your pirates are recruited in any order you like, and being supernatural in nature they have some wild abilities. Your starting character can briefly freeze time for a target. Your Quartermaster can possess people. A skeleton has a golden head he can toss to make guards come over to try pick it up and then make their corpse disappear by using his fishing pole to drag it into the endless chest he has on his back.
