Forums - Gaming Discussion - I finally bought an HD platform!

SHMUPGurus on 23 July 2009

Dude, now you can probably do some emulation as well! I've been enjoying some nice "last gen" games recently.

I'm not telling you how to set up everything though... And it's not like I'm playing games for free. It costs me money every single time I download stuff because of my Internet provider.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Hope it does 1080p otherwise you should have just bought a 360



Repent or be destroyed

You can have a war with pc vs consoles

(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Good choice, I think you should try Mass Effect, Dead Space and Bioshock.

What are your PC's specs, like OS, memory, processor, video card, graphics card, and RAM.

 Everything I bought is here, other than my 23" 1080p monitor: http://secure.newegg.ca/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?Source=MSWD&WishListNumber=8971894

And don't forget to tell us the price !

 Much more than a PS3 or a 360.  But it's also a lot more capable than either of them, a lot more useful, gets cheaper games, free online, free DLC, and so on.

Not to mention, it isn't obsolete technology.  The processor, for example, is AMD's most powerful one that's out on the market right now. >_>

 Max resolution I can output is 2560x1600, which would amount to roughly two times 1080p.  I can't speak for framerates and stuffs at that resolution, though, nor do I plan on doing that, since my monitor maxes out at 1920x1080.

That's awesome I suppose. I mean PC gaming is true gaming anway. So congratulations bro! I'm happy for you. I was thinking of doing the same thing and buying a high end PC, but considering my gaming time has been lacking lately and I can't get into long games. I actually see no reason in a high end gaming PC.

But congrats on your purchase!

Graphics, Frame Rate, Computing Power and everything else good for gaming.

If a gamer can afford the right PC, PC gaming is better than console gaming in every way.

Listen my friend..
If you want to go for all those over hyped games that people always talk about, go buy RE5 and mass effect.
If you want to go the hardcore way, and buy games that no one knows about, get Demigod on impulse : www.impulsedriven.com
and shooter complete pack: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1645/
Dont forget Plants Vs Zombies !
aah always good to be a steamer !

Edit : how could i forget the EPIC Zeno clash ?!

Zeno Clash is the most unique game i played this year and its only like 14 $ ? This game is SOOOOOOOOOOO over looked !

Hmmm good specs, but I would've invested more money in the GPU.
I know it's a bit overclocked, but still I would be careful to set everything on MAX settings in future games (or Crysis where every frame counts).

download steam and browse D2D stuff for good deals on games, blizzard stuff is only avaliable through hard copies though.
