Can we get a Video Game subforum?

What's good that I'm overlooking in this vein? Need something new to play.

Tried MGSV?

Yep, loved it.

[wottagunn]

Looking for recommendations for PS4 games. I like RPGs and 3rd/1st person games with RPG elements - really like games with either a focus on exploration or at least some sort of worldbuilding that lends itself to exploration.

Games I've played that I really enjoyed: SoulsBorne games; Witcher 3; everything Final Fantasy; new Mass Effect (yes, I actually liked it); Nioh; Persona 5; Fallout 3/4 (liked 4 less than 3, but love just ambling around the wasteland).

Nier will surprise you.

Borderlands 1 and 2 are two of my all time favorite games! Can't wait for 3.

Okay, Neir. I've heard a lot of good things about that. I guess I need to pick it up.

Are any of the PS4 Assassins Creed games worth playing? I really enjoyed 2 and its two sequels, but was Meh on 3 and the ship parts of Black Flag.

Have you tried Horizon Zero Dawn?

[iwokeinrelief]

Sorry, yes, I played it and loved it. For some reason I find it difficult to remember everything I've played and enjoyed.

Before i would buy that one i would build one myself. You can go here and spend hours if you wanted....https://pcpartpicker.com/ This site has a wealth of information. You can look at other peoples builds or build one from the ground up using the tabs at the top of the page.

Honestly? way over priced. For $1600-1.7k you can get a 1080 with an i7-7700k:

here is a quick build I did for $1200 for about the same specs but this isn't optimized at all. I just threw it together.

I know people harp on about DYI computer builds but I honestly understand that some people don't mind spending the extra 100-200 to just have somebody worry about it.

I think there is a big division in the PC gaming world:
people that have pc gaming as a hobby
and
people that play pc games

^ gives your spec range at <$900

edit: I HATE RGB lighting but it is the "tacticool" of the PC world and you just kind of have to shrug and move on

[dryerase]

I think that's $1600 in Australian dollars (dollarydoos)?

easy tiger, that is AUD, or dollarydoos more correctly. a 1080 i7 is minimum $2300 here.
I agree about building your own. If I was hardcore, id probably do it, bubt right now id happily pay the little extra. This machine is optimised thankfully.
and I also agree about the lighting. Im not interested in it at all but its kinda hard to get away from.

correcto. That's about $1300 USD. We also pay a little more for things here (a new console, in store, is about $100 AUD / $80 USD).

[mrsippycups]

oops.


carry on

Seems like you've already made up your mind. I wouldn't buy because it has a white case (too apple-y), a window, light strip, seagate hdd. I like selecting my own pieces / parts to suit my liking. If you keep you eyes peeled Dell always has great deals right now since schools are getting ready to resume here in the states. You may be able to find something cheaper / better with them.

Wottagunn, that systems fine for your needs. Id you do want to run anything 4K wise, I'd look for some faster ram.
