Branchedout At Gamers by Nature writes: "Okay, you see comments that computer gaming is cheaper by far! While for single player, this is true (as many games do not have local play. But pretty much all have online play, which is the preferred way as of this generation) because games are usually $10 cheaper NEW, Steam has plenty of amazing sales unlike anything consoles have seen. And upgrading is NOT expensive. 5 years from now you’ll pick up a new video card. IF you want to play the newest games on HIGH. It’s something to consider!" Though do be warned, he urges you to do research on the subject before diving into it.
"The Rotterdam-based (The Netherlands) indie games publisher/developer SOEDESCO and the Berlin-based (Germany) indie games developer FreetimeStudio, are today very happy and excited to announce that their upcoming farm-life RPG “Garden Witch Life”, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X//S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) this year (Q4 2024)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Brisbane-based (Australia) indie games developer developer 5 Lives Studios today announced with great joy and thrill that their traveling merchant adventure “Cozy Caravan”, is now available for PC via Steam Early Access." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Got an Antstream Arcade subscription kicking around? Put it to good use with the latest additions to the largest library of retro titles.
This should debunk the myth that it cost $2,000 to build a gaming PC.
"This is an Alienware Desktop Pc.
Never buy one"
LOL, I love the intro.
"$430 assumes you can find your own DVD drive, or go without one, can get an old harddrive from another computer, AND have a copy of Windows already. Also, it assumes you have a monitor"
"That rounds out to about $535"
"I apologize to you guys for the misleading title, though."
Lovely.
I was going to build a PC back in spring, but when I found out about the Bioshock 2 and BF:BC2 DRM, it was a real 1, 2 punch to the face.
Make the DRM and Steam tether go away and I'll be a PC gamer. Just stop screwing the legit customers. Let me own my game and not be limited and held down by the publishers.
Well it's a functional rig, but don't expect much out a 3.2 ghz dual or 2gb RAM (even if it is @1333mhz) While you could certainly handle Bad Company 2, Arkham Asylum or COD 4/MW2 in good shape, don't even think about trying to play games like GTA4 or Assassin's Creed 1/2.
so with the graphics card he showed, can you run crysis on max settings with it?

edit: so if someone could find a graphics card on newegg that can run crysis on max with 60fps but for a good price that would be great :)
hell they might even give you a free game for your 500 pounds
