pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
ok, so here's the deal. i havent gamed on hardly anthing in a very long time. the last two games i played religously was original Rainbow Six and original Doom. I am looking for some suggestions on whats good thats out now that would be comparible in "style" to the previously mentioned games.
I went to the store today to pickup a sweet deal on a 22" flat panel LCD monitor and while there, i took a walk over to the game section and saw that there are MANY titles out now. and without having something there to see what the impressions were of each game i didnt really want to spend the money on a game that was a complete pile of ----. anyone got any thoughts? |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
COD 4
and if your comp can handle it then "crysis". |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
well, i have....
Pentium Dual Core E4500 (2.2ghz, 2mb l2 Cache, 800mhz FSB) 2gb of Corsair DDR2 XMS2 ram (2x1gb) e-GeForce 7300 GS 256MB Video Card 22" Acer AL2216W like i said, its been awhile since i have done any gaming on the pc, so i am not quite sure how good the vid card is and how well it will work with a lot of the newer games out. |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
Skifree :D

Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
hardware doesnt exsist at this moment to fully run crysis. 3 8800gtx's in 3way sli still cant keep up with all the eye candy on so yeah your 7300gs doesnt stand a chance http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3183
you can try UT3 though, download the demo and try it out. it looks great and doesnt require a rediculous computer. |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
That's dumb, why would they make a game that nobody can run at full detail?
|
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
UT3 looks to much like Halo. I wasnt a fan of that.
as for Crysis, i was looking at that and it seemed somewhat entertaining, but i saw the pc specs as... Minimum Processor Required Pentium 2.4GHz (Intel Pentium 3.2GHz for Windows Vista) Minimum RAM Required 1GB (1.5GB for Windows Vista) Minimum Hard Drive Space 12GB Peripheral Devices Required DVD-ROM Drive, Sound Card, 3D Video Card with 256MB Video Memory, SVGA Display Supported Video Card Chipsets NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT or Better; ATi Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or Better so i can assume that my pc could play it, but i would have to lower the settings on the game to play? |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
you can play it but not with the best settings.
team fortress 2 is fun portal is fun everything in the orange box is fun

Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
if you meet the minumum specs for the game you should be able to play it but it will have to be at low resolutions and low quality. the resolutions they tested in the link i posted was 1900x1200 wich is the resolution of a 24" LCD not a 30. what hardware is there that can play crysis at its highest setting at 1680x1200? the link i posted was only running 1900x1200 and with 3 of the biggest cards out today running in 3way sli it was still only playable at the second highest quality. |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
1280x800 is good enough for me!
|
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
anyone have a good torrent for Crysis?

Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
the anti aliasing is what kills crysis
it eats up over a gig of ram when i run it on high graphics mode... w/o anti aliasing |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
crysis is garbage cod4 is really fun and the orange box rocks other than that there arent many recent good games out but alot of oldies are worth a play
|
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
BattleField2. I'm a huge fan of it. It's been out for a few years now and i would still be playing it if my gaming computer's hard drives didn't fail :(
You can pick it up now with all the expansions for like $20. Hell of a game for 20bucks Here's a video of some close courters combat with a good 'ol pump shotgun http://youtube.com/watch?v=X9nrBkPuxmE You can also chose other maps that you can do anything from driving a dune buggy to flying a jet with up to 32players on each team, all real people...no AI bots. The game is a FPS but this video is recorded in 3rd person view http://youtube.com/watch?v=TDlvIN5vbyA |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
I have the orange box and the only game I really enjoyed was Portal. Something about TF2 just doesn't seem right.

Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
Maybe I just haven't played it enough to enjoy it or I'm too used to Halo 3 and CoD4. TF2 is pretty and I like the graphics style but the gameplay just doesn't turn me on.

Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
im sitting on the toilet butt naked and pretty drunk and the only game i can think of is gears of war.
|
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
Gears is an awesome game. I can't wait for the sequel.

Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
geez if were goin old school UT99 is tha ----. i still play it to this day :S
i havent found any of the newer shooters to be worth anything more than a demo download, just seems like the genre is getting old but some of my friends have said bioshock was good. |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
ok, so of the suggestions given so far, the ones i am digging are...
Crysis Call Of Duty 4 Gears Of War (seems ok for the 1 player option) Half Life 2 Portal the ones that I am not digging is.... UT99 (or any Unreal Tourny) Battlefield2 Team Fortress 2 also, has anyone played Rainbow Six Las Vegas? I think that looked pretty damn sweet. |
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
command and conquer generals zero hour is the greatest pc game of all time. it's been out for like 5 years, and it's still the game me and the guys prefer to LAN. Also all of the battlefield games are good, preferrably BF2.
|
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
if your looking to play online versus others, id go witih counters strike. its pretty addicting. i used to play it a fewq years back a tons and im starting to play it again. only bad thing is that 60% of the community online cheats. but i you can deal with that its pretty damn fun

Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
Get UT3 and COD4
|
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
i have 50 cents laying on my table. fancy that.
|
Re: pc gamers, come inside, suggestions wanted...
cod4 was sold out everywhere i went and i couldnt find gears of war either.
as for crysis, i held off on buying that for now along with the orange box. i picked up a couple classics that i played back in the day along with Rainbow Six Vegas. i deffinately want to pick up a game that i can play online with others and CS did kind of stand out a little to me. |
