Ah, I guess I should probably learn a bit more about all of the components then so that in the future I'll be able to build my own PC instead of getting a pre-built one, I went in pretty quickly because my old desktop broke and I thus I needed a new one, so I went with a pre-built one.

I'm mainly a console gamer, I mainly use Steam/GOG/Twitch for free games or games that are gifted to me.

I understand.

Still, with games getting bigger and bigger each passing year, that 1TB drive will not be enough sooner than you think, unless you stick with indie games.

I've installed every game on my HDD so far, since that drive is bigger. I guess they may be a bit slower because of it, but since my SSD isn't very big I want to make sure that it's for the essentials. I may end up getting a larger drive eventually I guess, but at the moment I'm fine.

AAA games are more or less built with the PS4 and XOne's cheap HDDs limits in mind, so you're going to be fine.
Unless you try to play something like Star Citizen.

I probably won't end up playing that. On another note, I ended up finishing the installation of all of my games, but now I'm trying to find 1080p/widescreen patches for the games that don't natively support it, but I still have a bit of a ways to go before I'm done with that.

If you aren't planning on playing Star Citizen, or any other high budget/effort PC exclusive, the HDD won't be a bottleneck.
Maybe the next gen consoles will fix that.

Thankfully you have the ability to fix games, that's one of the best parts about playing on PC.
How is144Hz going?



So, apparently, it's Monday again. I guess that means it's time to start with the news again:

Fortnite breaks another record, generating $296 million in April across all platforms
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/fortnite-breaks-another-record-generating-296-million-in-april-across-all-platforms/
SuperData Arcade has shared its monthly report, claiming that Fortnite has broken another record by generating $296 million in April across all platforms. Epic’s free to play game generated $223 million in March, therefore it will be interesting to see whether it will hit $300 million in May.

 

Nioh has sold two million copies worldwide across all platforms
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/nioh-has-sold-two-million-copies-worldwide-across-all-platforms/
Team Ninja has announced that Nioh has sold two million copies worldwide on Playstation 4 and PC. Nioh was released in February 2017 on PS4 and came out on the PC after almost nine months, in November 2017.

Guns of Icarus Alliance and Galactic Civilizations 2 are free on Steam right now, and you get to keep them
https://www.pcgamer.com/guns-of-icarus-alliance-and-galactic-civilizations-2-are-free-on-steam-right-now-and-you-get-to-keep-them/
If you're looking to plug a few hours this weekend but don't fancy splashing out on something new, then you're in luck, with two games going for free on Steam right now that you can download and keep forever.
The first is Guns of Icarus Alliance, the expanded version of steampunk airship combat game Guns of Icarus Online. The original was purely PvP, but Alliance adds PvE elements, six factions to choose from, and an ever-changing world "that is constantly being shaped and reshaped by the players".

>>Galactic Civilizations II is no longer free, but Guns of Icarus Alliance will remain free until tomorrow.

 

Buy the Deus Ex games for cheap today, including Human Revolution for $3/£2
https://www.pcgamer.com/buy-the-deus-ex-games-for-cheap-today-including-human-revolution-for-dollar3pound2/
If Deus Ex is one of those series that you've always said you'll play some day but you've never actually got round to buying the games, then today is as good a chance as any. The original and the follow-up, Invisible War, are both on sale for less than $1, while 2011's Deus Ex: Human Revolution is $3/2. That's a lot of game for not much money.
The most recent in the series, Mankind Divided—which split long-time fans—also gets a permanent 50% price cut, which makes it $29.99/£19.99. I wouldn't buy it at that price, though, because it's on sale for less than half of that fairly regularly.

>>That's the Steam daily deal, the Deus Ex franchise.

 

Now let's look at GOG and its deals:

 

And at Fanatical we have 4 deals:

https://www.pcgamer.com/this-sadistic-mod-makes-dark-souls-even-harder-through-a-series-of-debuffs/
Everyone knows Dark Souls is hard, but that doesn't mean that experienced players aren't up for making it even trickier. Jack wrote a guide to doing just that last year, and a new mod called The Scorched Contract would slot in nicely. Every time you beat a boss you gain a debilitating debuff, making the next battle even more of a slog.

Fortnite's temporary jetpack mode disabled after less than an hour, then reinstated
https://www.pcgamer.com/fortnites-temporary-jetpack-mode-disabled-after-less-than-an-hour-then-reinstated/
Fortnite fans have been soaring through the skies this week thanks to the addition of jetpacks, the first item in the new 'backpack' category. Yesterday, Epic Games launched a temporary game mode showcasing the new devices called Close Encounters—but had to disable it less than an hour later.
The mode makes jetpacks far more common, and replaces all weapon drops with shotguns, the hope being that players will zoom around and blast each other at close range. But Epic quickly took it down, saying it was investigating "issues" with the mode. It instead enabled Solid Gold, a mode that guarantees legendary weapon drops.

 

Surviving Mars to add new space domes and long-awaited tutorial on Monday
https://www.pcgamer.com/surviving-mars-to-add-new-space-domes-and-long-awaited-tutorial-on-monday/
Surviving Mars' domes, in which your colonists live, are one of my favourite things about the game. They're full of colour and light and really stand out from the dusty backdrop of the Red Planet. In an update on Monday, developer Haemimont Games will add five more dome types of various shapes and sizes, and they look very pretty indeed.

>>How the f*ck do you launch a simulator/management game without a tutorial?

Driving horror game Beware now has a playable demo that looks terrifying
https://www.pcgamer.com/driving-horror-game-beware-now-has-a-playable-demo-that-looks-terrifying/
Beware's fresh take on the survival horror genre is that the entire game takes place with you sat behind the wheel of a banged-up car. Enemies skid around its sepia-stained open world, hunting you down and trying to ram you off the road as you piece together bits of information scattered throughout the landscape. It sounds fascinating, and it's just got its first public playable demo.

>>You can download it from indieDB.

 

Kingdom Come: Deliverance unveils DLC roadmap, three new stories due this year
https://www.pcgamer.com/kingdom-come-deliverance-unveils-dlc-roadmap-three-new-stories-due-this-year/
Kingdom Come: Deliverance will get three pieces of story DLC, a free hardcore mode and tournaments before the end of the year, developer Warhorse Studios has revealed.
The DLC roadmap, which you can see at the bottom of this post, doesn't give release dates for individual pieces of DLC, but tells you roughly when they're due out. From the Ashes is up first, and it'll grant you control of an abandoned village that you have to build back up to its former glory. That will be shown off at E3, and it's due this summer alongside a free Hardcore Mode.

Star Citizen backers looking to build their own fleet can now buy a new ship pack containing 117 craft—nearly every ship in the game—along with 163 extra items, including upgrades, skins and in-game posters. It's a mere $27,000.
Yep, you read that right. I'd tell you to click on the link for the Legatus Pack, but you'll only be able to view the page if you've already spent $1,000 on the open-world space sim.

Battlefield 5 design director says playable female characters will put him on 'right side of history'
https://www.pcgamer.com/battlefield-5-design-director-says-female-playable-characters-will-put-him-on-right-side-of-history/
One of Battlefield 5's design directors has said the inclusion of playable female characters in the WW2 shooter will put him on the "right side of history".
Commenting on the fan backlash about the presence of women in the upcoming game, which was revealed last week, Alan Kertz said: "I knew this was going to be a fight when I pushed for female soldiers in Battlefield. I have a daughter, and I don’t want to ever have to answer her question of 'why can’t I make a character that looks like me?' with 'because you’re a girl'.

>>And EA has also commented on the matter. Personally, I think both sides of the discussion are wrong and missing the point, but whatever.

The Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia, can now boot and run Halo 3
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-xbox-360-emulator-xenia-can-now-boot-and-run-halo-3/
We all know by now that Microsoft does not plan to release Halo 3 on the PC (unless of course the Master Chief Collection comes to our platform). As such, PC gamers can only rely on emulation in order to play this classic console shooter. And we are happy to report that the Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia, can now boot and run the game.
Unfortunately, though, emulation is far from perfect at this point. As you will see below, there are a lot of graphical glitches and performance is all over the place.

 

This Pillars of Eternity 2 mod ramps up the difficulty by tweaking level scaling
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-pillars-of-eternity-2-mod-ramps-up-the-difficulty-by-tweaking-level-scaling/
I've found Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire to be a tricky RPG. I bounced between Classic, Relaxed, and the breezy Story difficulty modes for most of it, depending on how much tactical combat I was in the mood for. But for some people, it's a little too easy. If you're one of them, then modder maxolina has you covered: they released a difficulty mod at the weekend that adjusts enemy level scaling to give you a harder time.
In the base game, enemies only scale up a maximum of four levels, so if you're at level 20 and you come across a level 10 enemy, they'll only scale up to 14. The Deadly Deadfire mod increases that maximum to nine levels, so you'd face a level 19 enemy instead. Important named enemies automatically gain an extra two levels on top of that to make boss fights even harder.

CCP Games promises that the Triglavian Collective will be "the most intelligent enemies seen yet in New Eden".

The plasmids might boost performance and increase the value of your hardware, but they might also wreck your gear completely, so you'll always be taking a risk.
